Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 542 - 548: Surprise

”Damn it! Weʼve been tricked!” Xie Changhongʼs face darkened instantly as he saw the dozen or so Golden Core Demon Cultivators suddenly appear before him.

The traces they had discovered earlier were probably deliberately left by the Demon Cultivators for them to find, to lure them into the trap!

Thankfully, due to Jiang Fengwuʼs reminder, they hadnʼt completely walked into the trap; otherwise, it would be a dead end with no chance of survival.

”The Demon Cultivators are formidable, we are no match for them. Instead of staying together and all dying here, itʼs better to split up and run. Perhaps thereʼs still a glimmer of hope for survival.”

Xie Changhong reacted very quickly. As soon as he saw the Demon Cultivators appear, he spoke with rapid speed and immediately transformed into a rainbow light to escape.

And because of her constant vigilance, Jiang Fengwu, who had been very cautious the entire journey, also followed at the first opportunity, taking a different direction from Xie Changhong.

After arriving in Green Lotus State, she had memorized the map of the area thoroughly, knowing where the closest Immortal City was.

As long as Jiang Fengwu could reach the vicinity of the Immortal City, then she would be safe.

As for Xie Changhongʼs actions, she didnʼt care at all. Although they had known each other for several years, in the end, they were just a group of Cultivators who gathered together for resources. When calamity struck, they naturally flew off in their own directions.

The other Cultivators also reacted quickly, but being just an instant slower resulted in a completely different outcome.

After all, with the actions of Jiang Fengwu and Xie Changhong, the Demon Cultivators were already on guard, naturally not giving them the chance to escape.

”The number of these Golden Core Cultivators is still not enough. Those two who just ran away, who will go and capture them?” the leading Demon Cultivator said in a heavy voice.

”Iʼll go capture that female Cultivator!” said a White-clothed Demon Cultivator with the appearance of a handsome man, standing out from the surrounding Demon Cultivators.

The lead Demon Cultivator glanced at him but did not object. He simply warned, ”The Spiritual Souls of these Golden Core Cultivators are the Artifact Refining materials for the elders in our Sect. Be careful not to go too far.”

”Rest assured,” the White-clothed Demon Cultivator said, a strange dark light flickering through his peach blossom eyes, and then he pursued with lightning speed, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, another Demon Cultivator also stepped forward.

Even after escaping the Demon Cultivators, Jiang Fengwuʼs heart did not settle down but instead grew more uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling made her speed up once again while tightly clutching several third-tier Talismans in her hand, ready to throw them if anyone caught up.

”Fellow Daoist, why are you running so fast?”

The White-clothed Demon Cultivator caught up quickly, smiling faintly as he spoke, ”Why not stop for a moment and admire my handiwork?”

Without waiting for Jiang Fengwuʼs consent, several beams of Spirit Light flew out from his storage ring, revealing lifelike puppets!

”Fellow Daoist, with such beauty, you would fill a vacancy in my theater perfectly.” While speaking jestingly, the White-clothed Demon Cultivator manipulated the puppets to attack Jiang Fengwu.

Jiang Fengwu didnʼt hesitate to throw the third-tier Talismans in her hand, breaking the encirclement in an instant and not entangling with him, but simply continued to run headlong.

The moment she saw him, Jiang Fengwu knew in her heart that she was no match for him!

When the puppets were released, she instantly understood why; all the puppets were made from Golden Core bodies. Even if their strength was somewhat impaired, when combined, they could match Jiang Fengwu. Not to mention the Demon Cultivator at their side.

Knowing she couldnʼt compete, there was no point in battling with him. It was better to hurry to the vicinity of the Immortal City, to make the Demon Cultivator give up the chase.

”Fellow Daoist, isnʼt it impolite to leave without saying a word?”

Who would have expected that no matter how fast Jiang Fengwu flew, that person could easily catch up.

Moreover, by the look of things, this was probably not the other partyʼs maximum speed.

The reason they were trailing behind was likely to toy with Jiang Fengwu.

Realizing this, a surge of anger welled up in Jiang Fengwuʼs heart.

”Since youʼre so keen on fighting, then let me witness your true capabilities!” As soon as these words fell, thousands of ice blades appeared out of thin air in the sky, whistling towards the White-clothed Demon Cultivator.

The White-clothed Demon Cultivator gave a slight smile and causally took out a puppet. With a clap of his hands, a sea of fire erupted, protecting him in its deepest recess.

Jiang Fengwu felt a tingling sensation in her scalp; the opponent had already taken out six or seven Golden Core puppets earlier, and she had thought that was the limit, but now it seemed that was not the case.

However, she did not give up; the opponentʼs strength was unfathomable, but she was not so easily subdued!

Not to mention, before leaving Wanxian Island, Li Zhirui had given her several life-saving Spiritual Objects.

”Interesting, it seems that getting your body intact is unlikely,” said the White-clothed Demon Cultivator, observing the changes in Jiang Fengwuʼs expression and chuckling softly.

Fortunately, the old demon of the Sect only required the Spiritual Soul, otherwise, he wouldnʼt have been able to obtain such fine material for refining puppets!

Jiang Fengwuʼs strength was not inferior; only after spending many years in Wanxian Island had her abilities declined somewhat, but after a few years of experience in Green Lotus State, she had not only recovered but had also become even stronger.

It was just unfortunate that she was facing a Demon Cultivator whose methods were unpredictable and varied, making it difficult to guess his next move.

As a result, Jiang Fengwu soon found herself at a disadvantage in the battle, with numerous wounds on her body, her clothes soaked in blood, presenting a very disheveled appearance.

”What a pity, such a beautiful body, now marred with so many flaws,” said the White-clothed Demon Cultivator with an assured look, not worried in the slightest about losing.

But this was normal, not only because of how battered Jiang Fengwu was but also because his strength was among the top within the dangerous and brutal Demon Sect.

”Why not surrender and spare yourself some pain?”

Jiang Fengwu turned a deaf ear and just gritted her teeth to resist.

And thus far, she hadnʼt used her fourth-tier Talismans or the Soul Dividing Jade Slip.

Jiang Fengwu did this for a simple reason, to try to touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul through the stimulation of this battle!

However, doing so was extremely dangerous because she might not be able to use her trump card, leading to a fatal outcome.

If Li Zhirui knew, he would never allow Jiang Fengwu to act so recklessly.

As time passed, Jiang Fengwuʼs injuries multiplied and worsened, blood flowing freely, turning her into a blood-soaked figure, her aura frighteningly weak.

But even so, she had not fallen, using the little Mana she had left to resist the White-clothed Demon Cultivator, who was toying with her.

In that fleeting moment between life and death, Jiang Fengwu seemed to see a door, cracked open slightly for her.

”Iʼve succeeded!”

A surge of spirit electrified Jiang Fengwu, her eyes filled with surprise, she didnʼt hesitate to activate the fourth-tier Talisman in her hand and threw it at her opponent.
