Chapter 763 - 269: Battle of Celestial Aromatic Mountain (Part 2)
After transforming into its true form, the giant rat let out a strange cry and charged directly at the layers of grand array protective barriers outside the stone pillar!
"Be careful!"
"How dare you!"
"You beast, do you dare!?"
The members of the Huangsheng Sect suddenly saw Old Man Jin’s true form crashing towards them and shouted in furious rage!
However, Old Man Jin, being a Half-Step Golden Core Great Demon, was extremely fast after transforming into his true form!
His figure turned into a gray streak, fiercely hitting the first layer of the grand array’s barrier!
Boom!
The outermost barrier of the grand array was slammed into with full force, causing the entire barrier to flicker violently!
"A mere Half-Step Golden Core beast, seeking death!"
The goatee-bearded elder was closest to Old Man Jin as he attacked.
Seeing Old Man Jin daring to act under his nose, he suddenly swung the Profound Iron Treasure Fan in his hand!
A dark cyan hurricane instantly swept toward Old Man Jin’s true form!
Old Man Jin was shocked and desperately turned into a gray streak trying to escape.
But a Half-Step Golden Core is still not a Golden Core, and there is still an insurmountable chasm between him and a true Immortal Golden Core!
A Golden Core Cultivator made a move himself; even though Old Man Jin was fast, his body was swept into that dark cyan hurricane in the blink of an eye!
He couldn’t even utter a scream before his body, a few zhang long, was torn apart by the hurricane, his bones and blood turning into a mist of blood that dissipated into the air.
"Kill!"
"Strike together!"
As Old Man Jin died, the atmosphere, so tense it felt like a powder keg, suddenly exploded.
More than ten Golden Core Cultivators, thinking someone had attacked first, instinctively fired a barrage of attacks at Qu Yunhe and his two companions!
Qu Yunhe and the others took on grave expressions and each summoned their Protective Spiritual Power Shields to try to withstand these terrifying attacks!
Boom!
Boom!
The explosive sounds trembled the heavens and earth, and the energy ripples from the battles among the Golden Core Cultivators formed intersecting streaks of Qi, almost tearing apart this patch of sky!
Fortunately, the battle was high in the air, and the energy released did not severely affect the Cultivators below the Golden Core level.
"Such a lively gathering, how could it be without Xu?!"
Just as the first collision ended, a loud voice rang from the distant forest.
Immediately after, many ancient trees in the forest were brutally shattered by a figure enveloped in Blood Flame!
As Xu Zhan ran through the forest, he fiercely stomped his right foot, and his figure shot up into the sky.
Unlike last time, Xiao Xu’s aura this time was evidently more domineering and flamboyant, clad in ancient and imposing armor.
The weapon in his hand was replaced with a more exaggerated dark gold spear.
His armor and spear were magical artifacts refined by Zhang Qingjing on Celestial Monarch Mountain in Danzhou, using the bones of a Golden Core Poison Flood Dragon provided by Shen Wen’an.
The dark gold spear, named the Ink-Horn Poison Dragon Spear, was crafted by Zhang Qingjing from the spiritual essence of the Poison Flood Dragon’s bones mixed with various superior Spirit Iron Ores, with the spearhead made from its horn, achieving Peak of Middle Grade quality.
The armor he wore was of Upper Grade quality.
Zhang Qingjing initially refined two pieces of Upper Grade armor, and the other was traded by Huang Lingshan for a wisp of the Seed of Separation Fire’s flame.
After these magical artifacts were brought back, Shen Wen’an originally intended them for Shen Chongming or other important Direct Lineage members of the Shen Family.
In the last great battle, the White Bone Long Spear in Xu Zhan’s hand clearly restricted his abilities.
Now, both of these artifacts were entrusted to him.
Xu Zhan’s sudden appearance made both sides, just locking into battle, calm down slightly.
The gazes of the many Golden Core Cultivators in the scene all turned toward him.
Many of those gazes carried extremely subtle greed.
At this point, Xu Zhan still hadn’t cultivated the Impeccable Golden Body.
For some Golden Core Cultivators, if not for the forces behind them, such a perfect and powerful body would be more enticing than a Spirit.
As everyone was calculating in their hearts, thinking, if they couldn’t seize the Spirit, they could at least try to abduct Xu Zhan, suddenly, in the distant sky, a green Sword Aura and a deep blue lightning bolt dashed across the sky, rapidly flying toward him!
Once the lights arrived beside Xu Zhan, they transformed into the figures of Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming.
The ones most delighted at this sight were naturally the trio of Qu Yunhe from the Huangsheng Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Shen has finally arrived!"
Qu Yunhe chuckled and cupped his hands in salute toward the three.
Until now, he didn’t know that the Shen Family had already discovered the "borrowing luck" matter, still convinced he had done a flawless job.
Little did he know, if not for their oath, the three of Shen Wen’an would have long joined the five major forces to besiege his Huangsheng Sect.
"Heh, we’ll settle our score later."
Shen Chongming sneered, then turned his gaze to the three demons of Feng Changyou on Celestial Sandalwood Mountain.
"I heard that Celestial Sandalwood Mountain previously intended to use my Shen family’s members as sacrifices?"
As Shen Chongming’s voice fell, the faces of the three demons of Feng Changyou changed instantly.
If it were any other time, the three demons wouldn’t have been so worried.
But now, it’s the critical moment for Spiritual Transformation.
The Shen Family choosing this time to trouble them meant that Celestial Sandalwood Mountain had almost no chance with this Spirit!
"Does the Shen Family really intend to completely break ties with my Celestial Sandalwood Mountain?"
Feng Changyou said coldly, "If we are deprived of any share of this Spirit, what consequences will ensue, is the Shen Family sure they can bear them?"
At this juncture, Feng Changyou had no desire whatsoever to entangle with the Shen Family.
