Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 277: Chapter 25: Young Master Yushan!

A golden short dagger pierced straight through the light formed by the Green Source Pearl.

It shattered Zhou Xun’s Tier Two High-Grade Defense Light Shield, which he had cultivated to great success, and the temporary Golden Shield.

Finally, it stabbed into his arm, blocked by Zhou Xun’s bone!

Zhou Xun was shocked to his core!

He almost fell for this person’s trick!

If it weren’t for his Body Refining Technique having reached the sixth layer, the short dagger would have already pierced through his arm, leaving a big hole in his brain, resulting in his death here.

At this moment, the small old man positioned above Zhou Xun was gripping a foot-long golden short dagger, his face pale, wearing an expression of astonishment and disappointment.

He seemed shocked that this strike couldn’t take down Zhou Xun.

”Body Refining Technique!”

The old man resentfully said.

This strike was his lifelong skill.

He unleashed all his mana, instantly dashing to the target’s vicinity, then delivered a deadly blow, reaching the power of an Early-Stage True Pill.

Caught off guard, even a True Pill cultivator would fall for it.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all for naught.

After this strike, his mana was exhausted, and he no longer had the strength to resist.

Filled with anger, Zhou Xun delivered a heavy punch to the old man’s chest.

The old man had never practiced Body Refinement; he was just an ordinary body, and after using that escape technique, he couldn’t use mana for a short time,

leaving himself wide open.

With one punch, Zhou Xun pierced through this person’s chest!

The old man died instantly, leaving only a trace of unwillingness in his eyes!

”Senior Brother Meng!”

At this moment, Hu Shan, entangled by the Monkey Puppet, was in utter rage, seeing two senior brothers fall at the hands of this person, Hu Shan was indeed unwilling.

”You bastard!”

Hu Shan’s heart was filled with resentment, and all the veins on his face bulged.

He directed the Brass Bell intending to strike Zhou Xun.

However, the Monkey Puppet’s strength was remarkable, its hardness exceeding that of a typical Tier Three Low-Grade Magical Treasure.

It forcibly seized the Brass Bell, rendering it immobile.

Meanwhile, the Cyan Snake erupted with full force, causing the Golden Ring to shake precariously, its golden light fading, and inside, Elder Wu was coughing up blood, his face ashen.

He was clearly severely injured.

At this time, he could barely hold on.

If it weren’t for Elder Meng’s misty white pearl, Elder Wu could not have held on.

Now that Elder Meng had fallen, the mist swiftly reverted to its original form, transforming back into a white pearl, dropping from the sky.

Without the mist’s defense, he alone could hardly withstand the Cyan Snake’s onslaught.

At most two more times, the golden light from the Golden Ring would inevitably be broken!

Elder Wu glanced at Fengg Wuji, who was about to complete his activation, then looked at the Cyan Snake and Zhou Xun,

He never expected the master of Wangchuan Lake to be so formidable.

Even a True Pill cultivator was no better than this!

At this moment, the situation had reversed,

on their side, two of the four Fake Pill Elders had already fallen, Hu Shan was trapped by the puppet, and he was severely wounded.

Undoubtedly, their mission this time was already a failure!

However, his death was a minor matter, but Fengg Wuji was the hope of their Celestial Feather Sect and must not fall here.

Thinking of this, Elder Wu mustered a bit of fighting spirit.

”I just need to hold off the Cyan Snake to buy Wuji some time.”

”As long as Wuji activates the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman and breaks the array, with his skill, he could definitely escape from here!”

With this thought, he showed a determined look and charged toward the Cyan Snake.

While flying, he tapped his storage bag, taking out a thumb-sized red pill.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it.

Once the elixir entered his stomach, potent medicinal power surged.

In an instant, Elder Wu’s face visibly turned rosy, and at the same time, his aura rapidly increased.

Finally, it stopped at nearly reaching Early-Stage True Pill.

This was obviously a Forbidden Medicine that consumed the foundation to forcibly boost cultivation.

Similar in effect to a Violent Qi Pill.

But this one could boost a Fake Pill cultivator so much—it was the first time Zhou Xun had seen it.

Fortunately, this person took it while grievously injured.

Otherwise, if he took it while at full strength, he could enhance his cultivation to an Early-Stage True Pill level and might have been able to entangle with the demon spirit for a while.

But now, it’s insufficient to make a difference.

Zhou Xun glanced at him, then focused on the black-clad man Hu Shan.

Now, the Monkey Puppet had also trapped his Lifebound Magical Treasure, leaving him with just some talismans and talisman treasures.

Zhou Xun certainly wouldn’t let this chance slip by.

The Wood Radiance Gourd flew up again, with a mighty force, charging at the man.

The man was surprised, vividly recalling the miserable scene of the middle-aged man in red robes just before.

Suddenly, something seemed to come to his mind, and the man turned to flee, flying toward the edge.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun shook his head.

This man’s mind had already collapsed; otherwise, he wouldn’t flee in panic, not thinking that in an array, where could he run to!

Had he faced the challenge head-on, he might have held out a little longer, but to turn and flee...

”Hurry!”

Zhou Xun cast another spell onto the Wood Radiance Gourd.

The gourd’s speed surged, turning into a cyan light, and it heavily smashed into the man’s back.

The light shield shattered, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

”Bang!”

Amidst a loud noise, the man died instantly!

At the same time, on the other side, the Cyan Snake’s bloody mouth also bit down on Elder Wu. In just a moment, his life would also end.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun hurriedly instructed Cyan Snake to spare his subordinate’s life and not destroy the person’s physical body.

If the physical body is too severely damaged, it would likely be unsuitable as material for Blood Demon Child.

At this moment, a heart-palpitating wave of mana came from the Golden Ring.

”Not good!”

Zhou Xun frowned; indeed, the person managed to successfully activate it.

Without hesitation, he took out the Array Manipulation Command Flag and lightly waved it.

In an instant, the entire Molten Rock Purgatory vanished without a trace, revealing the original beautiful scenery of the lake.

Just as Zhou Xun removed the array, a light pillar several feet thick shot up into the sky.

The power was so overwhelming that even Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel somewhat shocked.

”Luckily, I was quick to act, or else this array would have been destroyed!”

Sighing, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to the instigator of the light pillar.

Within the Golden Ring stood a young man in white, with a handsome face and a gentle demeanor.

Even compared to him, he was not inferior at all.

Sensing that the person had Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, Zhou Xun’s heart stirred:

”Could it be Young Master Yushan?”

Fengg Wuji did not reply, stunned by the sight in front of him.

Activating the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman required full concentration, so he was unaware of Elder Meng’s demise.

Now, having just activated the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, the array was missing, and worst of all, the talisman was wasted.

Among the four Fake Pill cultivators on their side, three had perished, and the remaining Elder Wu was hanging by a thread, in dire danger.

”Could we have fallen into Cloud Light Sect’s scheme, and they haven’t really left Wangchuan Lake?”

Thinking of this, Fengg Wuji’s face was full of remorse.

If it weren’t for him, the elders would not have ended up in such a dire situation.

”Nephew Fengg, quickly escape!”

At this moment, Elder Wu, trapped in the serpent’s mouth and unable to move, saw Fengg Wuji’s dazed expression and urgently shouted.

Upon hearing this, Fengg Wuji snapped out of it.

He immediately bowed deeply towards Elder Wu and sighed:

”It’s all due to my short-sightedness, causing the elders to suffer. If I win today, I shall avenge each one of you. If I lose, I shall beg your forgiveness in the afterlife!”

With that, he turned his gaze to Zhou Xun.

”Members of the Cloud Light Sect, come forth! Let me witness your prowess today!”

”Cloud Light Sect?”

Upon hearing this term, Zhou Xun immediately realized.

The person mistook him for a Cloud Light Sect cultivator, thinking he was caught in Cloud Light Sect’s ambush.

”There’s no Cloud Light Sect here, just me, Zhou Xun!” Zhou Xun said calmly.

”How is that possible?” Fengg Wuji was stunned.

He’s researched that the master of Wangchuan Lake is merely someone who recently entered Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment; aside from commendable alchemy skills, other abilities are ordinary.

Previously killing Elder Long He merely utilized the power of the array.

How could he be alone here?

Could it be that these three elders perished by his hand?

”I’ve long heard of Young Master Yushan’s renowned skills; today’s a good time to learn a thing or two!” Zhou Xun spoke slowly.

”Learn?”

Upon hearing this, Fengg Wuji immediately realized the person before him was no ordinary cultivator, but a genius like himself.

”So the world was fooled by your appearances!”

Fengg Wuji said coldly, as a fighting spirit rose within him.

In all these years, he had never encountered such formidable cultivators of the same tier before, but it’s good; this person is suitable as a stepping stone on his Golden Core Dao path!

”Fengg Wuji of Celestial Feather Sect, seeks guidance with fellow Zhou Xun!”

Fengg Wuji clasped his hands together in a salute towards Zhou Xun:

”Then come!” Zhou Xun eagerly said.

After taking Celestial Pure Water, his mana strength reached ninety percent of a Fake Pill cultivator.

Since then, no one has been able to force out his full strength.

This Young Master Yushan, with the record of seriously injuring Fake Pill cultivators, coupled with his status as the Grand Elder’s direct disciple in the Celestial Feather Sect, must have plenty of skills and treasures.

It’s just perfect to test his true level.

Fengg Wuji waved his hand!

”Boom!”

A lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking towards Zhou Xun.

”It’s a Tier Two instant-cast technique!” Zhou Xun was startled.

This Thunder Strike Skill, though just Tier Two Low-Grade, the power of the thunder attribute technique is immense, close to an ordinary Tier Two Middle-Grade technique.

Zhou Xun raised his hand, sending out a cyan spirit light, transforming into a shield to block the thunder strike.

But immediately after, one lightning bolt after another fell, continuous and unending, suddenly, hundreds of thunder strikes fell from the sky simultaneously.

Such power could already match an ordinary Fake Pill cultivator.

Moreover, the thunder lights are showing signs of becoming denser.

The shield Zhou Xun raised was a Tier Three Low-Grade Profound Cyan Shield, naturally easily blocking the Tier Two technique’s attack.

Seeing this, Fengg Wuji was not surprised.

If Zhou Xun could be defeated so easily, several Fake Pill cultivators would not have perished at his hands consecutively.

Fengg Wuji patted the storage bag, and a purple crystalline square Thunder Pool flew out.

”Go!”

A spell was cast on the Thunder Pool.

Soon after, twelve blue spirit lights flew out, transforming into purple thunder seeds, instantly covering a range of a thousand feet, enveloping Zhou Xun inside.

Immediately, Fengg Wuji changed the spell.

The twelve thunder seeds rapidly grew, transforming into twelve thunder giant flood dragons over ten feet in size, crackling with electricity.

Fengg Wuji pointed at Zhou Xun!

The twelve thunder flood dragons, carrying immense power, surrounded Zhou Xun’s location.
