Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

When the dark shadow touched Qin Yu, it was like snow meeting charcoal, producing a sizzling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the dark shadow transformed into smoke and dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

”How... how is this possible?!”

Liu Zixiao couldn’t believe it. Such evil and strange black qi had no effect on Qin Yu?

Moreover, she even saw that although there were several holes in Qin Yu’s clothes, his skin was intact and showed no signs of injury.

She did not believe this was because of Qin Yu’s robust physical body.

”Master, are you alright?”

Qin Yu himself didn’t feel anything.

He was already aware that the black qi couldn’t cause him any harm.

It seems that the Pure Yang Divine Body has a natural suppression against such evil things.

”No, it’s nothing, you...”

”Master, stay here first, I’ll be back shortly.”

Liu Zixiao snapped out of her shock, wanting to ask something but Qin Yu had already left the room.

Originally, he was already displeased with the Hundred Sword Sect!

When the Pure Yang Divine Body broke through to the Third Layer, he even thought about attacking their sect.

Now they’re disturbing his business!

Unbearable!

With a thought, the Lifebound Divine Sword appeared in Qin Yu’s hand.

In the next moment.

He mimicked those cultivators, stepping out in a flashy way, instantly appearing ten zhang away.

One step, ten zhang, stepping into the void, as if walking on clouds, the Golden Core Stage spiritual power inside surged like a tide, gathering on the Lifebound Divine Sword.

This was the first time Qin Yu felt murderous intent, but certainly not the last.

”Who’s bold enough...”

Before the words were finished, they turned into a stunned shout, ”It’s you, Qin Yu!”

Qin Yu’s Golden Core Stage cultivation aura was unrestrained, like the blazing sun, immediately alerting the Golden Core cultivator from the Hundred Sword Sect.

His expression slightly changed, but upon considering, he thought that with the Black Soul Banner in hand, he wasn’t afraid of even a fellow Golden Core, let alone someone who was clearly just at the Early-stage Golden Core.

However, when he saw clearly it was Qin Yu, he visibly hesitated for a moment.

Qin Yu’s situation had long spread in the Yunlan Domain, but wasn’t it said that when he joined Cyan Mountain Sect, he was just a Qi Refining Fourth Layer junior cultivator?!

How did he suddenly become Golden Core?

This is definitely a huge threat!

Originally, Qin Yu was the one Hundred Sword Sect wanted to eliminate the most, besides Su Xiyue.

He spread his perception around but couldn’t sense any strong presence, immediately, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.

Why not take this opportunity to directly eliminate this major threat?!

”Really, searching high and low...”

”Search you!”

Before the words were complete, a sword momentum, surging like the sea, suddenly burst out from Qin Yu’s body, interrupting his words. In the next instance, before he could react, a sword light flashed past.

Everything around seemed to plunge into silence at this moment.

That sword appeared to slice the space in half, leaving only the pure sword qi, like the aurora of the extreme north, dazzlingly radiant.

”You... gurgle...”

”Splurt!”

Qin Yu’s sword reached an extreme speed, before the Hundred Sword Sect elder could even react, he was already beheaded by one swift strike.

He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a blood line appeared on his neck, the sharp sword momentum quickly rushing into his meridians... even his dantian.

Then blood gushed out, the pride in his eyes gradually transforming into fear, and finally to despair.

One sword to kill a Golden Core!

”Hiss!...”

Witnessing this scene, all cultivators in the city, including Liu Zixiao, couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

This was the first time she saw Qin Yu strike!

Unexpectedly, the usually cheeky and timid disciple in front of her turned out to have such terrifying strength.

Bear in mind, that Hundred Sword Sect elder was genuinely a mid-stage Golden Core powerhouse, even when Liu Zixiao was at peak status, it would be exceedingly difficult to kill him.

Instant kill?

Unless the strength is overwhelmingly superior, otherwise, if the opponent harbors thoughts of escape, trying to retain them is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Yet, at this moment, Qin Yu merely wielded a single sword.

Moreover, he had just made a breakthrough...

Liu Zixiao felt somewhat unreal, it seemed somewhat unreal.

Is this... truly her apprentice?!

She had many questions, the most significant being the sword intent Qin Yu just exhibited... no, it was already more than just sword intent!

Could it be... sword momentum!

Has Qin Yu practiced swordsmanship?!

Though Liu Zixiao hadn’t seen that.

Furthermore, he didn’t even have the time, during the day he’s always enhancing his cultivation in the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion meditated bath.

Could he be practicing in his room at night?!

However, what Qin Yu said next made her unconsciously hold her head and shake it.

”Ah, seems like... I used too much force, actually forgot to leave someone alive.”

Qin Yu scratched his head, feeling rather embarrassed, he originally intended to capture someone alive to ask why the Hundred Sword Sect was capturing these ordinary cultivators.

”Run ——”

The body of the Hundred Sword Sect elder crashed heavily onto the ground, finally awakening the surrounding disciples, who fled like startled birds.

But Qin Yu wouldn’t let them go!

He directly captured a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, then the Divine Sword trembled, the sword’s cry declared to the heavens, transforming into countless sword qi, shooting like raindrops toward the other Hundred Sword Sect people.

This sword qi, even a Golden Core finds it hard to block, let alone these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In a mere instant, dozens of disciples from the Hundred Sword Sect fell as if blown away by autumn wind, turning into cold corpses, falling from the sky.

As for the black banner, it lost its spiritual power support the moment the elder died, instantly becoming dim and dull, like a piece of discarded black cloth, weakly pinned to the ground.

Qin Yu casually scooped it up before bringing the captured person to Liu Zixiao, throwing him to the ground.

All of this happened in a flash, not even giving the city’s cultivators time to react to this sudden change.

Nonetheless, the shock left by that scene just now was deeply engraved like a brand in everyone’s heart.

”Qin Yu, are you alright?”

Liu Zixiao immediately approached to ask Qin Yu, her eyes filled with unrelenting concern.

”Master, are you worried for me?”

Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth, if it wasn’t for the pressing matters, he would definitely tease his charming master a little more.

”I’m only worried that if something happens to you, your Sect Leader master would accuse me.”

Liu Zixiao then realized she was getting carried away, she reigned in her mind, rolling her eyes at Qin Yu with a slight irritation.

She then simply ignored him, turning to the Hundred Sword Sect disciple.

When it came to extracting confessions, Qin Yu was not adept, but as an Elder of the Immortal Sect, Liu Zixiao naturally had her methods.

In no time, that Hundred Sword Sect disciple spilled all he knew.

But Qin Yu and Liu Zixiao’s expression became increasingly solemn.

It turns out, the Hundred Sword Sect was capturing cultivators to feed those so-called... ’black qi’!
