88: Chapter 88 Battle Royale: Yun Che Gets Kicked to Death!

Above the firmament, the vortex grew larger and larger, and the force of repulsion gradually manifested.

The core area of the Secret Realm was in complete chaos.

The Prodigies who had obtained heaven and earth qi became living targets, with hundreds of Cultivators, eyes bloodshot from killing, in hot pursuit behind them.

The roaring of Spells and the screeching of Yao Beasts!

The screams of those on the brink of death wove together into a Shura field.

It was also the final carnival and great escape!

The far east of the Secret Realm.

Sun Yao gasped for air, her white Daoist robe stained dark red with blood; she lay on Shi Pan's back, clutching a dim sensing disk tightly.

Three miles behind her, a water-blue beam of light was speeding low across the ground, moving at an astonishing speed.

"Can you escape?"

An icy voice, mixed with mockery, echoed through the mountains and forests.

Half an hour ago, she and Yun Che had been retreating towards the periphery when they ran head-on into this Prodigy of the Righteous Path from Liang Kingdom!

The successor of the Cold Water Sect: Shen Cang!

This person had just obtained a wisp of water-attribute heaven and earth qi and, while being pursued by a group of demonic Cultivators, had panicked and stumbled into the line of sight of Yun Che and Sun Yao.

In order to silence them and to seize the Medicinal Pills for healing that the two possessed.

Shen Cang did not care at all about his so-called Righteous Path reputation and launched a ruthless attack!

Yun Che drew his sword to confront him, but in the end, he was no match.

This Shen Cang was a true Genius, possessing a single water-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root and cultivation at the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, capable of erupting with the aura of the False Core Realm!

Moreover, he possessed multiple top-grade Magical Artifacts and Talismans; he was a true Prodigy.

But Yun Che did not retreat.

The bones of a Sword Cultivator are hard, and the sword heart cannot allow retreat!

"Take the item and go back to the Sect."

This was the last sentence Yun Che left for Sun Yao...

The cyan sword light transformed into a sky full of sword rain, forcibly stalling Shen Cang for half an incense stick's time.

The price was that Yun Che, along with his sword, was shredded into a rain of blood on the spot by a freezing water tornado, with no room to fight back!

A Sword Cultivator with a promising future was thus buried in a foreign land.

Just like a stray dog on the roadside, kicked to death by someone; the gap between the two was as vast as heaven and earth...

Sun Yao gritted her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes.

Yet she held them back, refusing to let them fall; the cultivation world was just that cruel, the weak are prey to the strong, and there is no reason to be found.

For the weak to be crushed to death by the strong is the norm...

"Old Ancestor... where are you!"

On the sensing disk, the light point representing Shi Jian was clearly nearby, but she could not find him no matter what.

"Boom!"

A thick column of water shot from behind, slamming fiercely into Shi Pan's hind leg.

Shi Pan's massive body stumbled violently, its hind leg and waist were blown away on the spot; no matter how tough Shi Pan was.

It was still just a mere Qi Refining Yao Beast.

To survive a brush with such an attack was already a stroke of great luck!

Sun Yao was also thrown away, slamming heavily into the rock wall and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

The blue beam of light stopped, and Shen Cang walked over slowly.

He was dressed in blue robes with a handsome face, but an unconcealable Evil Qi showed between his brows; he was truly a suave hypocrite!

He looked at Sun Yao as if looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"To be able to die at the hands of me, Shen Cang, can be considered the good fortune of you Wei State Cultivators!"

Shen Cang raised his hand, and a drop of deep blue heavy water condensed at his fingertip.

This drop of water weighed more than a thousand jun; once it fell, it would be enough to crush Sun Yao's small frame into meat paste on the spot.

Just at this moment.

"Thud."

A muffled sound, as if some heavy object had slammed into the ground.

Shen Cang frowned and turned his head abruptly.

From the shadows ahead, a massive creature slowly walked out.

With a body three zhang tall, its dark gray fur was like steel needles, and a circle of light blue mane around its neck moved without wind.

"Tsk~"

"Another one of these scenes of turning the tide; no originality at all."

Shen Cang didn't care; he had encountered such scenes many times, and the final outcome was, without exception...

Only the word death!

"Old Ancestor!"

Sun Yao shouted, her voice filled with wild joy.

Shi Jian glanced at her, his gaze falling on Shi Pan, which had lost its legs and belly.

"Useless thing, how embarrassing."

Shi Jian snorted and turned to look at Shen Cang.

"You, Righteous Path of Liang Kingdom?"

"You killed my people and dare to chase them right in front of this seat? You have a lot of nerve!"

Shen Cang heard this and laughed: "You, a beast, dare to speak so brazenly?"

"You are just a bunch of low-class trash, begging for pity every day; do you really think that after cultivating the Dao for a few days, you lot can embark on the path of immortality!"

"Just a group of inferior goods, base, low-class people!"

"What does it matter if this seat kills one more beast today after killing a Sword Cultivator!"

"In this world, who can do anything to me!"

Shen Cang's tone was arrogant; he was born standing on the peak of the mountain, and to him, the Mortals at the foot of the mountain and the low-level Cultivators were no different!

All their lives were as cheap as ants!

The heavy water at his fingertip expanded instantly, transforming into a ten-zhang-long water Dragon, which opened its bloody maw and lunged at Shi Jian.

The power of the False Core Realm was fully displayed!

Shi Jian stood where he was, not moving at all.

"Stupid bear, this kid has heaven and earth qi on him!" Zixiao's voice exploded in his mind, carrying unconcealable greed: "It's water-attribute heaven and earth qi!"

"Kill him for me!"

"Shut up, stop clamoring, I'm not blind!"

The water Dragon roared as it arrived.

Shi Jian slowly raised his right palm and simply pressed it forward; in his palm, a flash of purple-gold lightning suddenly lit up.

"Boom!"

Thunder and the water Dragon collided.

There was no stalemate, nor any tug-of-war!

The violent Zixiao lightning actually went straight up against the flow of the water Dragon, instantly vaporizing the ten-zhang water Dragon into a sky full of white mist!

"What?!"

Shen Cang was horrified; his heavy water Spell could even shatter top-grade Magical Artifacts, and yet it was swatted away by this bear with one paw?

Before he could react, Shi Jian's massive body had already disappeared from where it stood.

Too fast!

After the marrow cleansing, Shi Jian's speed had long since surpassed the limits of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Shen Cang only felt a blur before his eyes, and a huge bear paw had already reached his face.

He was immediately terrified, frantically stimulating his protective spiritual shield, while at the same time sacrificing a blue turtle shell to block in front of him!

"Crack!"

The top-grade turtle shell Magical Artifact shattered with a bang.

The spiritual shield was torn open instantly, as if made of paper!

Shi Jian's bear paw slammed solidly into Shen Cang's chest.

"Bang!"

Shen Cang's entire body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through three stone walls before finally being deeply embedded in the mountain.

His sternum had completely collapsed, and his internal organs were smashed into a pulp.

"You..."

"How could... how is it possible!"

A large amount of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs poured from Shen Cang's mouth; his eyes were full of disbelief. He was the chief disciple of the Cold Water Sect!

He had just obtained heaven and earth qi! He still had a bright future!

How could...

How could he be swatted to death by a bear!

Shi Jian walked slowly to him and looked down at him.

"A Genius?"

Shi Jian sneered: "A Genius who hasn't grown up is not even worth a piece of shit, and what's more, a Genius carrying a precious treasure is even more courting death!"

"Is it strange?"

"That your body suddenly became paralyzed, and even your Spiritual Qi cannot circulate?"

Shi Jian sneered, and his claw swiped across; Shen Cang's head was separated from his body on the spot...

Then he skillfully tore off the Storage Pouch, swept it with his Divine Sense, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Good fellow, really rich!

Besides piles of Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and Magical Artifacts...

In the deepest part, a jade box covered with Seal Talismans lay quietly.

Inside the jade box, a wisp of water-blue airflow was slowly swimming, emitting a warm, long-lasting, and rich Dao rhyme!

Water-attribute heaven and earth qi: Tianyi True Water Qi!

"The third wisp."

Shi Jian swallowed, and directly swallowed the jade box along with the Storage Pouch into his belly.

Although this thing didn't suit him, taking it back to the clan would be the foundation for the Sun Clan's rise; at the very least, taking it to the black market to exchange for lightning-attribute resources would definitely fetch a mountain of gold.

But now that Yun Che was dead, and Daoist Yun Du was still guarding outside.

Without giving some explanation, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to smooth things over.

"Old Ancestor..."

Sun Yao limped over, her eyes red, tears already swirling in her eyes...

"What are you crying for."

"Isn't it just the death of one Yun Che?"

"It's... Senior Brother Yun Che, in order to cover me..."

"Dead is dead."

Shi Jian interrupted her, his tone indifferent: "If your skills are inferior, you deserve to die. The cultivation world does not believe in tears, only in strength."

"As for this person Yun Che, although I didn't have much friendship with him, I know of his benevolence and righteousness; if you feel guilty in your heart..."

"Take this wisp of: Tianyi True Water Qi, and hand it over to Daoist Yun Du."

"It can be considered compensation."

Sun Yao bit her lip tightly and lowered her head slightly.

"Alright, just surviving is enough."

Shi Jian turned around, grabbed Shi Pan from the ground, and then spat out a drop of essence blood to sustain its vitality.

Shi Jian's conditions for Core Formation were now ready.

He would need some confidants from his own clan in the future; Shi Pan could not die now. Handing over the: Tianyi True Water Qi was also to shut Daoist Yun Du's mouth.

Otherwise, if only he and Sun Yao came out alive, it would really be hard to explain things then.

"Let's go, the Secret Realm is about to close."

"It's time for us to leave as well."
