192: Chapter 193: Instant Kill!
Wherever the punch wind reached, everything in its path turned to dust.
As the aftershock spread, clouds for several miles around were dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.
Facing the fierce incoming punch, many Cultivators hiding in the dark could no longer hold back and revealed themselves.
They each used their own methods, preparing to receive the powerful punch.
However, Chu Yunxiao, who had just thrown a punch and was about to turn back to act like a master, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
His Golden Core realm aura suddenly fluctuated violently, and his reddish skin also showed an unnatural pallor.
The terrifying punch wind, before even reaching the crowd, began to weaken and lose strength, eventually disintegrating completely.
This sudden change stunned everyone who was preparing for a major battle, leaving them somewhat bewildered.
A strange silence fell over the scene, and after a moment, someone let out a sneer, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“Hahaha, so it was just a paper tiger! I thought it was something amazing!”
“Your grandpa’s dying of laughter, after all that, this is it?”
“The Qingxuan Sect is indeed useless; they can’t even take down this kind of trash!”
“Don’t be careless, his secret art is probably about to end. We should finish this quickly to avoid further complications!”
“Brother Dao is right, let’s take him down first, then we’ll distribute the resources according to our contributions!”
“...”
The sneers continuously entered Chu Yunxiao’s ears, making his face alternate between green and pale.
“Impossible! How is this possible!”
His expression was somewhat twisted, full of disbelief.
He only felt that his Qi and blood were now flowing in reverse, his magical power was chaotic and almost dissipated, and his Sea of Consciousness was constantly shaking.
A sense of exhaustion spread throughout his body; the abundant power that had filled him moments ago had long since vanished.
This huge disparity made it difficult for Chu Yunxiao to accept.
“Is this the backlash from the Asura Dharma Body?”
He had Cultivated this Cultivation Technique for many years and rarely encountered such a situation.
But now, he was so unlucky as to mess up at this critical moment!
Looking at the Cultivators’ covetous gazes, Chu Yunxiao’s heart sank.
This place is not suitable for prolonged stay!
Just now, relying on the power of the Cultivation Technique, he had been too arrogant and had thoroughly offended these people.
No, these people were already harboring ill intentions!
Coupled with his current backlash and sharply reduced strength, he would certainly no longer be their match.
He needed to leave before the Asura Dharma Body ended.
As for revenge, that could wait!
Having understood this, Chu Yunxiao glared fiercely at everyone, turned, and was about to fly away.
“Oh no, he’s escaping!”
“Chase him! Don’t let him get away!”
“...”
Behind him, seeing Chu Yunxiao about to flee, everyone could no longer sit still.
This was Grand Elder Chu of the Chu family, not only wealthy himself, but he had also just seized the Storage Pouches of two Qingxuan Sect Cultivators.
Moreover, he was in a poor state now—wasn’t this a prime target!
So they each used their movement techniques or piloted flying boats to give chase.
Lu Ming watched the scene of everyone leaving, a slight curve forming on his lips.
“Enduring the backlash of several Demonic Techniques, even if you are a Golden Core Cultivator, it must not feel good!”
Chu Yunxiao’s anomaly was naturally Lu Ming’s doing.
Earlier, Chu Yunxiao had developed killing intent towards these pursuers, and naturally, he made it onto the golden book’s list.
Moreover, fundamentally, Chu Yunxiao was not a true Golden Core Immortal Master.
Under Lu Ming’s unrestrained activation of various Cultivation Techniques, the backlash force increased exponentially, and Chu Yunxiao naturally couldn't withstand it!
In fact, he wasn't the only one; whether it was the few people from the Qingxuan Sect or these Cultivators who were watching the fight from the sidelines, all had generated enmity due to conflicts of interest, thus making it onto the list.
Lu Ming took a rough look and saw that there were as many as five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not counting the two Qingxuan Sect Cultivators killed by Chu Yunxiao.
Regardless of whether he could obtain Chu Yunxiao’s Cultivation Technique, the gains Lu Ming would receive from these few making it onto the list were already substantial.
However, Lu Ming wanted more than just these; the Cultivation Technique was the priority.
Therefore, Chu Yunxiao must die!
But if these guys want to take advantage, they’ll have to ask if Lu Ming agrees!
Lu Ming no longer hesitated.
First, he activated the 'Blood Origin Bloodburst Technique,' followed by 'Reverse Flourishing and Wither.'
After elevating his cultivation to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, Astonishing Glide was then cast.
Whoosh—
A piercing sound exploded as he transformed into a streak of rainbow light, chasing forward.
The several Foundation Establishment Cultivators pursuing ahead also had their attention drawn by the commotion behind them.
“Hmm? There’s someone else!”
They had initially thought they were the mantis stalking the cicada, only to realize someone else was hidden behind them.
This made some people feel quite wary, but more so, annoyed.
Chu Yunxiao’s resources were already somewhat stretched thin by being divided among a few people.
Now, with another person coming to share, they were naturally greatly displeased.
Moreover, this person’s speed was extremely fast; he would soon catch up and even overtake everyone, so some people couldn’t hold back!
This was like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth!
Immediately, one person turned around and cast a Spell.
A water curtain was seen condensing out of thin air behind him, then rapidly freezing into an ice wall.
He didn’t hope to stop the opponent, only to try and interfere with Lu Ming’s speed.
To prevent Lu Ming from getting Chu Yunxiao’s resources first.
“Courting death!”
Looking at the ice wall blocking his path, Lu Ming’s eyes sharpened.
His speed increased instead of decreasing, and relying on the Puppet’s powerful Physical Body, he crashed directly into the ice wall.
Bang!
Ice shards splattered everywhere, and the ice wall was directly shattered, forming a hole.
“It is impolite not to reciprocate!”
Fallen Soul Mysterious Light!
Lu Ming pointed at his glabella, and a mysterious light shot out from his Niwan Palace, sweeping like a torrent over the Cultivator who had blocked Lu Ming.
Immediately, this person’s expression became blank, and he stiffened in mid-air as if he had lost his soul.
By the time he regained his senses, Lu Ming had already arrived in front of him.
In his eyes, which were splitting with rage, a black-gold long halberd gradually magnified in his pupils.
The halberd’s gleam seemed to tear through space, slashing horizontally downwards.
It flashed past this person’s face.
Lu Ming didn’t look back, holding the halberd in one hand and continuing to pursue Chu Yunxiao.
Behind him, the Cultivator stared blankly at the Void Realm, as if he hadn’t fully come to his senses yet.
A gurgling sound came from his throat.
Then, a bloodline appeared on his forehead, running from top to bottom, all the way from his nose bridge, mouth, and down to his stomach.
Subsequently, his body split into two halves and fell from the air, blood splattering across the sky!
However, before the corpse could hit the ground, tiny specks of eerie green flames began to burn within its flesh.
These quickly covered the two halves of the corpse, transforming them into dust that scattered with the wind before they fully hit the ground.
“This...”
This scene left all the Cultivators who had been watching the battle in the rear speechless.
Where did this monster come from!
With just one move!
He killed a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
It made them feel incredibly unreal.
Strange things happen every year, but today there are especially many.
First, the mutated Chu Yunxiao, and now a fierce one-armed man.
The other person only blocked you; he didn’t even injure anyone.
You kill someone without a word, that’s too unreasonable!
However, they only dared to grumble these words in their hearts and didn’t dare to actually speak them aloud.
