Chapter 50: Times Have Changed
The Ice Sword Technique was just a feint; with the Phantom Form Steps for swift assault, Wang Yu had already arrived in front of the Cultivator controlling the Bowl-shaped Magic Tool. With a wave of his sleeve, a large patch of green poisonous liquid was unleashed.
It was the poisonous liquid he had extracted from the corpses of the Corrosive Poison Bee Swarm, not much in quantity, but enough for two or three battles.
The sudden poisonous liquid instantly corroded the bowl.
The Magic Artifact malfunctioned.
A left fist, wrapped in a small ice storm, struck out fiercely. This Cultivator reacted extremely quickly, opening his mouth to spit out a white silkworm-like Gu Insect.
In the blink of an eye, it burst open, forming a silk cocoon shield, enveloping Wang Yu's left fist. However, under the almost Second Rank brute force, there was no delay whatsoever.
"Bang———"
Suffering a full-force blow, the Seventh Layer Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator's body exploded like tofu, internal organs pulverized, bones shattered, bursting into a cloud of blood mist mixed with pieces of flesh.
Wang Yu had directly gone for the kill.
"You are a Savage Ghost Peak disciple?!"
The other person was terrified. Savage Ghost disciples had powerful physiques; within a three-meter radius around them, they were almost invincible among those of the same Cultivation Realm. But to instantly kill a Seventh Layer Qi Condensation Stage with a single punch at Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer was a bit too exaggerated.
It was like facing a Peak First Tier Body Refiner directly.
"Golden Snake Gu, strangle!"
When facing an enemy on a narrow path, the brave one wins. Even though his companion had died, he did not give up, but continued to drive his Natal Gu Insect, wanting to seize the advantage while Wang Yu's old strength had just faded and new strength had not yet arisen.
Unexpectedly, a large number of Ice Swords that had been bounced away and broken had already reformed into six thick Ice Walls, closing in on him.
The Golden Snake phantom that had originally extended out rapidly returned to defend. With a flick of its tail, it pushed two Ice Walls slightly apart, wanting to take the opportunity to retreat.
But a chain suddenly shot out from underground, with agility comparable to a snake, entangling his legs.
Under the power of the Magic Artifact, his whole person was turned upside down, directly flung into the encirclement of the Ice Walls. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The Gu Poison disciple quickly took out a bronze bell, wanting to protect himself, but saw that the iron chain split off a strand, actually entangling the bronze bell he had cast out as well. This time, the Ice Walls completely closed.
The Ice Coffin Spell took shape, and Wang Yu's hand seals changed.
"Kill!"
A large number of ice spikes grew and pierced through, turning him into a blood gourd in the blink of an eye. This person's vitality rapidly dissipated. The Golden Snake Gu, lingering between his eyebrows, let out an unwilling hiss, and then fell down, frozen into an ice cube, losing all vitality.
He had won, but Wang Yu's expression did not improve. Killing two ordinary Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivators changed nothing. The truly difficult opponents had always been the Liu Jinxian group, not just any single person.
Putting away the corpses and taking the Storage Bags.
The Spirit Power fluctuations that erupted here immediately attracted Liu Jinxian's attention, because the Aura here was a chaotic battle of three Cultivators, obviously not the fluctuations expected from dealing with Bone Lions and Bee Swarms.
And so, riding a giant mosquito beast with flapping wings, she flew over.
Seeing Wang Yu in an instant, her brows furrowed directly.
"You killed my Gu Poison Peak disciples?!"
Wang Yu raised his head. His eyeballs, transformed by the Corpse Demon Secret Art, were pitch black, and his eyes were a gloomy green, looking full of evil intent. At first glance, he did not seem like a good person.
"Yes.
"They insisted on seizing the Territory I had conquered, seeking their own death. What's wrong with killing them?"
"Good, very good. In this situation, with Qi Condensation Stage Fifth Layer Cultivation Level, you still dare to make a move. Do you think you can defeat me?"
"Not at all."
The other party had not attacked immediately, proving that there was still room for maneuver. Wang Yu's eyes rolled, and he said:
"Wang Yu has always admired Senior Sister Liu's talent and was originally interested in joining you. However, my Cultivation Realm is too low, and rashly joining might lead to me not being valued. These two just happened to run into the edge of my blade."
First, he said a bunch of flattering words, explaining the reason, and then turned the conversation towards Gu Zhengshun, preparing to open fire!
"Senior Sister Liu, aren't you curious as to why Gu Zhengshun is shrinking back in the Thirtieth Layer, not resisting at all?"
Liu Jinxian raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?
"You mean to say, he has other plans? Not just afraid of my Aura."
"Indeed."
Wang Yu nodded in affirmation, and then used rhetoric to guide Liu Jinxian to think for herself: "Senior Sister, do you think a Core Formation Elder's Grand-Disciple is really that simple? Underground in this Mysterious Bone Mountain, there must be even greater benefits than the Profound Essence Flower, for him to give up like this.
"Otherwise, what is the point of him trying his best to get this Mountain Lord Token? To be a pig?!"
These words were more logical, and also in line with the atmosphere of Demonic Cultivators scheming against each other, so it was very likely.
But…
Liu Jinxian suddenly laughed.
"So what? You killed my Gu Poison Peak disciples, which is contempt for my authority, seeking death!"
With a cold snort, Liu Jinxian rode the mosquito beast and attacked.
Wang Yu quickly retreated, his heart cold. This Liu Jinxian was even more domineering than he had imagined.
That's right, being outside the sect.
If she had nearly three hundred Cultivators under her command, she could naturally do whatever she wanted. Gu Zhengshun's Power was there for all to see, and Liu Jinxian's forceful attack would not cost her anything.
Naturally, she cared more about her own reputation.
In this case, it seemed they still had to fight a round to let her taste both hard and soft tactics, to have the capital for confrontation.
Figuring out the crux of the problem, Wang Yu quickly said.
"If Senior Sister wants to fight, Wang Yu will accompany you.
"If I lose, these Second Level will be given to you, but in the future, there are still five years. Senior Sister must be careful at all times, be wary of disasters from wild Demon Beasts."
"Dare to threaten me?"
Without waiting for the other party to react, Wang Yu initiated Hand Seals first.
"Xiu xiu———"
It was still the Ice Sword Technique to start, and the Perfected Technique at Perfection level immediately made Liu Jinxian see the problem. Coming from a different background, her horizons were naturally different. She exclaimed in surprise:
"Mid Grade Perfected Technique? Not bad Comprehension, but unfortunately your Cultivation Realm is too low."
Having said that, she opened her mouth and spat out a wisp of light pink smoke.
A sweet and greasy scent assaulted him. Wang Yu immediately held his breath, but there were still wisps of poisonous smoke clinging to him, and a large number of illusions appeared before his eyes.
The mosquito beast also flapped its wings and charged over, its narrow proboscis spraying out a large number of blood needles, colliding with the Ice Swords and annihilating each other in mid-air.
This was a Gu Beast, using Gu Insects to control the body of a Demon Beast, building nests in its body or using the effect of Gu Insects to make them symbiotically mutate, producing one after another special Gu Beasts.
Their status was similar to Cultivators who practiced the Dao of Beast Taming.
Most importantly, this mosquito beast also had Eighth Level of Qi Condensation Cultivation Level. The Ice Sword Technique had not achieved any success. Relying on Divine Sense perception, Wang Yu suddenly threw out a punch, clashing head-on with this Gu Beast.
The moment the two collided, the giant insect was like a kite with a broken string, flying high into the sky.
Second Rank Divine Strength Corpse Arm, terrifyingly powerful!
The chitinous carapace on its body was almost completely shattered, and it looked like it was about to die. Liu Jinxian hurriedly shouted.
"Stop!"
Wang Yu actually did not pursue further, watching Liu Jinxian spit out a mouthful of blood-colored mist. When it touched, the wounds on the Gu Beast's body rapidly healed.
In a moment.
It shed a layer of wounded shell covered in mucus, and recovered as before.
Only then did Liu Jinxian breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Wang Yu's obviously abnormal left hand with some apprehension.
