"kill!"
With a low growl, several black streaks of light flashed across the sky from all directions. One after another, Qin soldiers clad in black armor, all Golden Core cultivators, rushed over, their faces grim. They stared at Yun Chu'an, seemingly with no other intention than to form a protective net with their own bodies, compressing his living space and preventing him from ever escaping again!
"Let's go too!" (You're in Meimeilin, empty, Meilin is in...)
Seeing this, Gu Yu shouted and leaped into the air, charging towards the Qin army cultivators, intending to buy Yun Chu'an some space to maneuver.
However, the Qin army cultivators had no intention of fighting her. They opened their storage bags, shouted, and roared as enormous, clay-carved beasts resembling Suanni, Taotie, Chaos, and Qiongqi charged towards them!
For so many days, Li Xinkang had been calling for reinforcements to ensure that the annihilation of Yun Chuan and the rebel army would be carried out flawlessly!
"hateful--"
Seeing this, Gu Yu cursed inwardly. Caught off guard, he had no choice but to brace himself and face the ferocious beast, manipulating his spiritual power to cast spells and engage in close combat.
This ferocious beast was originally formed from the primordial energy of Xuanhuang, making it incredibly hard. This secret realm was also rich in earth elemental energy, so for a time this thing became even more sturdy and could slowly repair its wounds, making it even more difficult to break!
Gu Yu was anxious and kept casting spells, but she couldn't even deal with a single opponent in a short time, let alone spare the energy to support Yun Chu'an!
She was like that, and so was Gu Jian. Even their maternal grandfather, Zuo Qian, the most skilled and strongest among the rebels, could be held back by the Qin army with just one person sent to deal with him, preventing him from providing any effective support to Yun Chu'an!
The situation seems to have turned into a one-sided disadvantage.
Li Xinkang's lips curled into a cruel smile. At this moment, he didn't even bother to say a word of persuasion to Yun Chuan. The blade of his sword shone with a three-foot-long light as he leaped forward and slashed at Yun Chuan's body once more.
Yun Chu'an tried to dodge, but several Qin soldiers in black armor were already waiting in the distance behind him, gathering their strength. So no matter which direction he tried to dodge, he would be met with a deadly ambush!
At this critical moment, Yun Chu'an was not alarmed but rather delighted. A glint flashed in his eyes, and as he leaped to dodge, he flicked his finger—
The Qin army cultivators who were surrounding him felt a chill run down their spines. A strong sense of crisis surged through their chests, making them instantly lose the will to continue the encirclement and only want to evade.
But at this moment, it was too late for them to do anything. The four-colored magic seals of blue, red, cyan, and gold attacked the sky, and the spiritual power of the four different elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder exploded, instantly covering almost all the Golden Core cultivators who came to surround him!
Boom boom boom boom——
The magic seal, carrying an immense and unparalleled aura, exploded with a deafening roar high in the sky. Several late-stage Golden Core cultivators were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, several were swept away and disappeared without a trace, several were instantly and severely injured by the raging flames, and the worst off were struck by the golden divine lightning!
Yun Chu'an was originally most skilled in lightning magic, and the lightning magic seal in his hands was even more powerful than when it was in the hands of Li Chengxiao, who was in the Nascent Soul stage.
With this strike, the cultivators struck by the lightning seal instantly turned into black ash. Only one of them, a golden core, survived by sheer luck. He then had no choice but to flee in a sorry state into the distance!
Upon seeing this scene, Dongfang Yue's previously tense face suddenly blossomed into a bright smile.
She wanted to shout "Well done!" but to avoid getting herself into trouble and ruining her reputation, she had to hold back.
Even so, she just tried her best to keep a smile on her face, then raised her little fist and swung it hard at Yun Chuan in the distance.
Make big!
He had maximized the effect of these four magic seals, achieving such amazing results right from the start.
Li Xinkang and his group arrived late and had not yet faced the people of the Ruthless Sect head-on, nor did they know that the leader of the Ruthless Sect possessed such a powerful magic weapon.
They were caught completely off guard and hit squarely in the face. Had they had been even slightly prepared, this attack would never have yielded such astonishing results!
So now, what should have been a Qin army's encirclement and annihilation of him has become almost equivalent to Li Xinkang having to fight him one-on-one!
The probability of winning has greatly increased!
Dongfang Yue's eyes were filled with joy, and her gaze towards him held a certain emotional intensity. This emotion had already begun to take root when he rescued her some time ago, and now it was growing wildly and uncontrollably.
"Will we win..." she murmured, seemingly asking herself, or perhaps asking Su Youling beside her.
Beside her, Su Youling lowered her head, remaining silent and trying her best to suppress her laughter, lest the other party suspect something.
In the distance, Yun Chu'an seemed to hear her murmur. He immediately grinned exaggeratedly, revealing a dazzling smile and a set of pearly white teeth: "We'll win!"
He put on airs and was extremely arrogant, a sight that immediately ignited Li Xinkang's anger.
"You brat, how dare you be so arrogant!" He sneered. "You have absolutely no idea how powerful a Nascent Soul cultivator is!"
He let out a low roar, and his body began to burn. The reserves of spiritual energy in his body were ignited, in an almost wasteful way, in exchange for an increase in his speed!
The suppression of cultivation level is comprehensive, encompassing destructive power, defensive capabilities, movement speed, reaction speed, and spiritual energy reserves. Even if it's just a minor realm higher, the suppression is undeniable.
Moreover, Li Xinkang is now a whole major realm higher than Yun Chuan, after being a minor realm higher! Chapter 763 A clean break!
Even though Yun Chuan relied on his superior cultivation techniques, spiritual roots, and various secret methods to elevate many of his abilities to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, his spiritual energy reserves and consumption were already starting to fall behind his opponent!
"Go to hell—!"
Li Xinkang charged forward, his longsword slashing repeatedly at Yun Chu'an's body. At this moment, his heart was filled with humiliation. As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't even defeat a mere late-stage Golden Core cultivator head-on, and even had to engage in a war of attrition to secure a victory!
This humiliated him, but for the sake of victory and to rid Qin of such a scourge, he couldn't care less about that now!
Yun Chu'an also pushed his spiritual power to the limit, unleashing the full potential of the "Raging Storm Steps" to engage in a fierce battle with his opponent.
Both of their bodies turned into afterimages, making Dongfang Yue dizzy and unable to catch their tracks, let alone judge who was better or worse, or who was currently in the lead.
In a moment of desperation, she could only turn to look at her senior sister, Yan Shuiyi. She knew that her senior sister was probably most worried about whether her man would win or lose—
Then she saw Yan Shuiyi's relaxed face suddenly change color, his handsome brows furrowed tightly, and he stared in disbelief: "No, how could he...no good—!"
Her pupils contracted slightly, as if she had detected something extremely unfavorable to Yun Chu'an. Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yue nearly suffered a cardiac arrest. She stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend the terrible things that were about to happen—
Only Su Youling beside her kept her head down, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest and dared not look up.
The next instant, as if his spiritual energy had been completely depleted and he had been pushed to his limit by Li Xinkang, Yun Chuan froze for a moment, unable to dodge his attack any longer.
Li Xinkang, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. His longsword blazed with spiritual energy, and he unleashed a horizontal slash—
laugh--
The sword blade sliced Yun Chuan's body in two from the dantian, cutting him in half at the waist!
"what--!"
Dongfang Yue suddenly let out a scream; her heart and lungs almost stopped beating, and her heart bled for him.
Yan Shuiyi's pupils also contracted, unable to believe that her man was so familiar with her. But her cultivation was higher, and her observation was more acute. In the next instant, she noticed something unusual.
No Golden Core?
Was it just a coincidence that Li Xinkang shattered it?
still is……
Not the real body?!
The moment this thought crossed her mind, a huge Bagua plate suddenly appeared behind Li Xinkang.
Behind the Bagua plate, three Yun Chu'an stood side by side, with the two on either side chanting incantations and casting spells to empower the person in the middle.
Meanwhile, Yun Chu'an, standing in the middle, chanted incantations, and a vast Buddhist light emanated from his body. He held a Guan Dao (a type of halberd), and blue, red, and gold lights simultaneously shone on its blade. Ice crystals, flames, and lightning converged on his weapon in that instant!
In the next instant, he rushed forward, his blade piercing through the Bagua formation, and slashed at Li Xinkang's lower back.
In the distance, Su Youling, who had been keeping her head down as if afraid to look at the battlefield, finally couldn't help but jump up, clench her little fist, and shout, "Good!"
Yan Shui immediately turned her head, looking at her with surprise and confusion. Dongfang Yue, on the other hand, looked at her waist and discovered that the Bagua compass magic weapon she always wore was now nowhere to be found!
Suddenly, it dawned on her: "You did it!"
Su Youling's face flushed with excitement, but she remembered Yun Chuan's instructions and quickly waved her hand, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, no, it's because he suddenly had an epiphany and borrowed my magic weapon for two days. Oh dear, it's all my fault for being careless and forgetting to ask him to give it back!"
She said this, but her face clearly showed undisguised joy. It was obvious that she was very happy to have tricked this Qin general.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yue suddenly realized that this was a conspiracy she and Yun Chu'an had conspired to devise!
Yun Chu'an first engaged Li Xinkang in close combat with his main body, wearing down his patience and vigilance. Then, at a crucial moment, he used the Bagua compass to conceal his form and silently unleashed the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, using a clone to replace his main body and attract the opponent's attention head-on.
Meanwhile, his main body absorbed the buffs from the two avatars, allowing him to deliver the fatal blow to Li Xinkang from the shadows!
After just a few days, this woman has started to become cunning.
Immediately, a relieved smile appeared on Dongfang Yue's lips.
In the blink of an eye, everything happened. Li Xinkang was terrified and hurriedly turned around to parry with his sword.
However, faced with Yun Chuan's unexpected yet premeditated attack, how much could he block in his hasty turn to parry?
Immediately, ice crystals sealed his hands, making him stiff and almost unable to move for a moment.
At the same time, a strike imbued with lightning and fire struck his body—
"what--!"
The protective magical artifacts he wore glowed, but they could only withstand a tiny fraction of the damage. Blades sliced through his golden armor, and flames scorched his body, but the most deadly thing was the golden divine lightning that could penetrate his entire being, truly damaging his nascent soul!
Li Xinkang let out an extremely shrill scream, and his body suddenly retreated, actually taking the initiative to withdraw and increase the distance between him and Yun Chuan.
At this moment, his hair was disheveled, he was panting heavily, his spiritual energy was disordered, and the wound on his lower back could not heal for a while, bleeding profusely and emitting some smoky smoke.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Yun Chu'an in front of him, but the latter remained calm and composed, keeping his distance and standing side by side with his two avatars, gazing at him from afar.
He was equally excited. That last strike was arguably the most powerful and destructive strike he could deliver given his current abilities.
Create an avatar, have the avatar perform hand seals to empower the blade of your true self, and then strike the enemy's vitals at close range!
In reality, his strike was practically meaningless in combat because the process was too complicated, too noisy, too slow, and too short. Any enemy with a little agility could easily dodge it.
What's the point of a powerful strike if it misses the enemy?
Fortunately, Su Youling had lent him the Bagua compass, which provided cover for him, allowing him to strike unexpectedly and deliver such a powerful blow!
He was excited, but he also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Li Xinkang would definitely be on guard from now on, and eventually, the Bagua compass would have to be returned. There was a high probability that he would never have another chance to launch such a powerful attack.
However, it's not a big problem, since Li Xinkang is obviously seriously injured after this stab!
He was now desperately trying to circulate his spiritual energy, but he couldn't heal his wounds at all. The spiritual energy within his body was in disarray, dissipating into the surroundings, just like a critically injured patient who was constantly losing blood. If he didn't receive timely treatment, these injuries alone would be enough to take his life!
shame.
unwilling.
anger.
All these emotions rushed into his mind at once. The thought that he had been tricked by a guy in the late stage of the Golden Core realm and almost lost his life made him so angry that he almost vomited blood!
"you--!"
He gritted his teeth, but reason told him that it was best to leave now, stabilize his injuries first, and come back another time.
But how can you expect an enemy at the late Golden Core stage to turn around and run away?
My God, what an utter disgrace! You, Yongzai Mei, Yongkong, Ni Lin, Zaizai, are you even here...?
And how could he possibly accept such a thing! Chapter 764 Defeating a Mid-Nascent Soul Stage
No, I can't run away, that would be admitting defeat, defeat to this little guy who's only at the Golden Core stage!
I have a chance of winning. I still have one last chance. After launching such an attack, his spiritual energy must be nearly depleted, so…
He must be completely exhausted now, with very little spiritual energy left in his body!
I'll risk my life; I'm sure I'll win this battle!
after all……
In the past thousand years, I have never lost a gamble with my life!
Li Xinkang's eyes widened in fury, his stubbornness rising, and he was already thinking of fighting to the death. He no longer cared about his injuries, but instead charged forward again, letting out low growls, and brandishing his sword to kill Yun Chu'an.
One thing he guessed was correct: Yun Chu'an's spiritual power had indeed been largely depleted after unleashing that earth-shattering attack, and was now almost completely depleted.
But his spiritual energy being depleted didn't mean he was powerless to fight. Especially now, watching him rush forward as if his life depended on it, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
That's perfect, let me try and see if I can actually use this move to step on my right foot and fly into the sky!
Bodhi Mirror Platform.
Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable: anyone who tries to harm or weaken him will suffer an equivalent backlash; while anyone who wants to benefit him will be fully rewarded!
So Yun Chuan suddenly had a brilliant idea: Could he have his avatar cast a buffing spell on himself, so that both he and his avatar would receive a buff and achieve double the improvement with minimal cost?
This has always been his wish, and today, here, is the time to prove its practical value!
Li Xinkang's body rushed over, and Yun Chuan controlled his two avatars to surround him from three directions.
The two avatars had just cast spells, providing him with the buffs of fire and frost for his previous strike. As a result, they themselves received feedback from the "Bodhi Mirror Platform," with high-temperature flames and low-temperature ice crystals surrounding their bodies respectively. Just getting close to them caused great interference to Li Xinkang.
"Humph!"
Li Xinkang had no time to deal with the two incarnations. He was also seriously injured and had to focus all his energy on Yun Chu'an.
He also knew that as long as he could kill his main body, these two avatars would naturally disappear completely!
"You wretched creature, die—!"
