Chapter 459 - 180: Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Peak—You May Insult Me, But Not My Strength
At first, he didn’t expect things to take such a reversal.
Qin Lie and the Crow Daoist actually joined forces to kill Shu Zhengyi.
But by this time, with Qin Lie making another move, it was naturally impossible for him not to notice. Perhaps it was because Li Daocheng initially showed goodwill, or maybe it was because of the grand feat of shielding them from a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Practitioner alone, earning his great respect.
That’s why he acted directly, using the Little Three Talents Sword Skill to save him.
And along the way, he also killed Qin Lie.
After all, the situation was already quite clear at this point.
The two were in a master-servant relationship, plotting to kill and steal the treasure, intending to finish them off and monopolize the spoils.
Naturally, he couldn’t let such a thing happen.
It’s crucial to know that he hadn’t yet obtained the Golden Essence.
The Spider Silk Fairy by the side reacted swiftly as well. The moment she noticed the two making a move and realized that the Crow Daoist was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her figure flickered, and without hesitation, she swiftly ran towards the exit.
When she saw Zhou Changwang intervene to block that strike for Li Daocheng, for some unknown reason, she stopped again.
"Hmm?
You’re courting death!"
Seeing this, the Crow Daoist’s face changed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He hurriedly controlled the golden cone, swiftly stabbing it towards Zhou Changwang.
At the same time, he took out a cyan jade bottle and waved it in Zhou Changwang’s direction.
Zhou Changwang’s expression remained unchanged. Having made his move, there was no chance of pausing even slightly.
With a thought, he controlled three flying swords to suddenly shoot out.
However, he suddenly sensed a stagnant force coming from the flying swords, causing all three to abruptly stop.
At this moment, the golden cone emitted an eerie red light and surged forward with a violent stench, aiming fiercely at Zhou Changwang.
Poof!
Zhou Changwang’s figure dissipated as a result.
Reappearing two meters away.
The Crow Daoist, seeing this, did not mind, patting the Spirit Beast Bag, causing a massive crow to appear.
Gaa~!
It was only at this moment that Zhou Changwang and the others noticed that the crow had reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation level.
Cawing once, it rapidly swooped towards Zhou Changwang.
Meanwhile, the Crow Daoist controlled the golden cone to once again emit intense red light, stabbing towards Zhou Changwang.
The speed had reached its limit.
Zhou Changwang was about to use the Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Skill again when he saw the golden cone collide directly with his defensive golden armor.
Boom!
A resounding explosion.
The Taiyi Golden Armor Technique dimmed by over thirty percent immediately.
"The divine sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It seems a swift battle is necessary."
Zhou Changwang felt a heaviness in his heart.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Spider Silk Fairy, Chen Xiao’Er, also joined the battle, controlling strands of silk to tangle with the crow, helping Zhou Changwang alleviate some pressure.
As for Li Daocheng, although he wanted to act, his magical artifact was destroyed, leaving him with only a lower-grade flying sword, its attack power limited.
Zhou Changwang didn’t mind this, and with a thought, various magics were cast by him in succession.
Black Heaven Technique!
Gravity Technique!
Dungeon Technique!
Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique!
The Crow Daoist was about to control the golden cone to continue attacking Zhou Changwang when he suddenly found his vision turning black. Even his divine sense was slightly affected at this moment, blurring his perception.
The next moment, he felt his body become heavy, and thick stone pillar cages suddenly appeared around him.
Controlling his divine sense to break through the darkness, he hurriedly summoned back the golden cone to crash into a stone pillar.
Bam!
Sung Jing smashed them apart.
But just then.
Sizzle!
Boom!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a stone pillar suddenly slammed down.
However, the power of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was formidable, as was his extraordinary defense.
This one lightning attack was entirely blocked by him.
The Crow Daoist relaxed, ready to strike again when he suddenly realized the dark clouds overhead hadn’t dissipated.
Immediately, his vision went black again, and his body felt heavy.
He instinctively dashed forward.
Bam!
Colliding directly with a stone pillar.
Without realizing when.
The underground cages emerged once more.
Then a series of lightning bolts hammered down fiercely, he only had time to raise a top-grade magical artifact above his head.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Five consecutive bolts of lightning hammered down like five Heaven-Supporting Jade Pillars.
The first bolt caused his top-grade magical artifact to tremble, the second destroyed it entirely, the third shattered the protective spiritual light on his body.
And as the fourth fell.
A spirit talisman on him flashed briefly, then dimmed and shattered.
Substitute Death Talisman!
But trapped in the dungeon, he didn’t have time to escape.
The fifth bolt of lightning struck.
Instantly turning every inch of him into charcoal.
Right after, Zhou Changwang finally set his gaze on the other side.
And just at this moment, the Spider Silk Fairy utterly crushed the crow, killing it on the spot!
Seeing Zhou Changwang’s eyes sweeping over, the Spider Silk Fairy’s gaze narrowed, and she respectfully spoke, "Senior! What should we do next?"
"Senior?"
Zhou Changwang was taken aback!
Indeed, given his reversal immortal slaying, killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was fitting to be called ’Senior.’
"Distribution according to contribution.
As for the three Golden Source Sacred Fruits.
Just right, three pieces, one for each of us."
As Zhou Changwang spoke, he first collected the Storage Bags from Shu Zhengyi, the Crow Daoist, and Qin Lie, then said to Li Daocheng, "Handle these bodies."
He then quickly headed towards the Iron Tree, the Golden Source Holy Fruit Tree.
