Chapter 193: Body cultivation shows power
"Daybreak is truly a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. This person’s aura is so strong, he should also be a cultivator in the later stage of Foundation Establishment!" Yuan Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene.
In his thoughts, the middle-aged man with a heroic aura swiftly descended with a knife in one hand. When he was still seven or eight zhang away, the crescent-shaped blade on the hook knife had already swung down towards Elder Sa Ren.
Golden light burst forth from the blade, forming a substantial crescent-shaped blade light that enveloped downwards.
Due to the opponent’s speed being too fast, Elder Sa Ren, in a moment of desperation, only had time to take out a talisman and pat it on himself, turning it into a light green shield. At the same time, he wielded a round, earth-yellow shield and struck towards the other party.
A loud explosion!
The earth-yellow round shield exploded, creating a circular wave of air that swept outwards. The shield on Elder Sa Ren’s body was also shattered by the residual power of the blade light, and he was sent rolling and tumbling.
The disciples in the surrounding Qi Refining stage were affected by the shockwave, causing them to stumble and fall.
Taking advantage of the situation, Elder Sa Ren distanced himself from the middle-aged man with a heroic aura. After standing up, he had a short fork in his hand, which he held in front of his chest. His gaze swept over the bloody head of Elder Chu Xiong not far away.
"Who are you?"
He could also tell that this person in front of him was clearly targeting him, but he couldn’t remember recognizing the other party."You don’t recognize me, but I recognize you! Do you still remember my son, Long Xi?" The middle-aged man with a heroic aura’s eyes were filled with anger as he shouted.
Elder Sa Ren’s expression stiffened upon hearing this.
Yuan Ming was also startled, only then did he suddenly recall that figure and those desperate eyes.
The King of Shaxiong!
Yuan Ming inwardly thought no wonder he felt that the middle-aged man with a heroic aura was somewhat familiar. If his guess was correct, he was most likely the father of the King of Shaxiong, the current patriarch of the hidden cultivation family in Southern Border, Long Hao.
On that day, he and Xiying joined forces to fight against the heavily injured King of Shaxiong. At the critical moment, the King of Shaxiong, relying on his strong willpower, partially restored his divine sense and revealed his identity to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming only then learned that his real name was Long Xi, the son of the patriarch of a cultivation family in Southern Border. He was accidentally mistaken as a beast slave by Elder Chu Xiong and captured to the Biro Cave.
At that time, Elder Sa Ren, who was responsible for the investigation, discovered his excellent aptitude as a dual spiritual root cultivator, further confirming his true identity.
But at that time, the mistake had already been made. Elder Chu Xiong and Elder Sa Ren not only did not stop in time to correct their mistake and make up for their negligence, but instead, in order to cover up their own mistakes, they concealed the results of the identification.
They neither released Long Xi nor followed the rules to send him to the sect for special cultivation. Instead, they designated him as a beast slave and exiled him to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Long Xi himself had excellent aptitude and was highly likely to evolve from a Shaxiong into a King.
In order to obtain the King of Shaxiong’s soul bead, these two people deliberately persecuted him, forcing him to frequently use the Beast Transformation Technique, gradually transforming step by step until he became the King of Shaxiong.
"Do you think that no one will know what you have done?" Long Hao approached step by step, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Elder Sa Ren knew that saying more was useless, so he immediately patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist.
In the next instant, a spirit beast appeared by his side. It had two giant heads and was a green wolf. It emitted two completely different spiritual fluctuations, both reaching the level of a second-grade demonic beast.
"Kill!"
Elder Sa Ren gave the order, and the short fork in his hand turned into a purple light that shot towards Long Hao. The double-headed green wolf, which was one zhang tall and three zhang long, also pounced towards Long Hao.
At the same time, the pupils of its two heads lit up, and it opened its blood-filled mouths.
The head on the right side first spewed out fierce flames, followed closely by the head on the left side, which gushed out a green hurricane.
The green hurricane carried the flames and not only did it not disperse them, but it also enhanced the power of the flames with its wind, forming a huge flame tornado. Together with the purple light transformed by the short fork, they both rushed towards Long Hao.
"Good timing!" Long Hao advanced instead of retreating, gripping the hook knife in both hands. Golden light immediately poured into the blade, and with a horizontal slash, he sent the purple light that had shot towards him flying.
In the next instant, he raised the long knife above his head again, and dazzling golden light burst forth from the blade.
"Break."
He uttered a low shout, and the long knife swung down. The golden light exploded and extended into a ten-zhang-long winding blade light.
The golden light shattered the fire dragon, and the hurricane swept in all directions.
In the spreading sea of flames, the figure of the heroic man rushed straight through, with an unstoppable momentum, and charged in front of the double-headed green wolf. He swung his knife once again.
Under the golden blade light was the eruption of all the emotions of anger.
The double-headed green wolf let out a miserable howl, and its body split into two halves from the center, tearing it apart.
Yuan Ming’s heart tightened when he saw this scene.
This second-grade demonic beast, the double-headed green wolf, was simply no match for the opponent.
Elder Sa Ren, regardless of the pain of his spirit beast that he had cultivated for many years being killed, was now filled with fear.
He originally thought that with the cooperation of the spirit beast, he would be able to firmly suppress Long Hao. However, before he could make his move, the spirit beast was killed first.
Long Hao held the hook knife, exuding a strong killing intent, and approached Elder Sa Ren step by step. The latter no longer had the courage to fight and turned to flee towards the direction of the three main peaks.
"Where do you think you’re escaping to?"Long Hao laughed menacingly, brandishing his long knife and charging forward. Using his momentum, he leapt into the air, soaring over ten meters high, then descended like a falling meteor, aiming straight for Elder Sa Ren.
His muscles were not exaggeratedly large, but his entire being seemed to radiate explosive power. His movements were simple, yet each strike carried a lethal force.
Yuan Ming watched, and suddenly realized that Long Hao seemed to be a rare body cultivator?
Just as Long Hao was about to catch up with Elder Sa Ren, the latter suddenly halted his retreat. He spun around, placed a single hand to his mouth, and shouted at the figure pursuing him from the sky.
Yuan Ming looked closely and saw that Sa Ren was holding a small, concealed tube-like object in his hand.
A flash of light flickered across the surface of the object, and a green steel needle, glowing with a green light, shot out, aiming straight for Long Hao’s heart.
Long Hao, suspended in mid-air with no leverage, was unable to dodge or change his trajectory.
With a low grunt, a sharp light burst from his eyes, and his skin turned pitch black in an instant.
The next moment, the clearly poisoned steel needle pierced his clothes and hit his chest.
With a crisp "ding", the green steel needle was repelled by his incredibly hard chest and fell to the ground.
Long Hao’s movement was not hindered at all. As he descended, he swung his knife towards Elder Sa Ren.
Seeing his sneak attack fail, Sa Ren knew he couldn’t dodge in time. He reached out into the void and a dark red hammer appeared in his hand.
With a quick step and a spin, he managed to dodge the incoming blade.
At the same time, he swung the hammer in a half-circle behind him, aiming for Long Hao’s back. Long Hao’s blade hit the ground, shattering the hard rock beneath him, and his back was simultaneously struck.
Long Hao grunted, his body involuntarily lunging forward.
But at the same time, he curled his right hand into a claw and fiercely grabbed backwards.
His pitch-black hand, like a ghostly claw, tore several bloody gashes across Elder Sa Ren’s chest, dragging him forward and causing him to stumble.
Elder Sa Ren let out a furious roar, and while struggling to steady himself, he swung his hammer down towards the back of Long Hao’s head.
With a "thud"!
A heavy blow sounded from Long Hao’s head, causing him to stumble forward, on the verge of falling.
Only because of Long Hao’s incredibly strong physique could he withstand this blow. If it had been a magic cultivator, that single strike would have been enough to end them.
Elder Sa Ren wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. He threw his hammer, controlling it with his magic, and aimed another heavy blow at the back of Long Hao’s head.
However, this time, just as Long Hao was about to fall, he instinctively rolled, avoiding the hammer.
He then sprang up from the ground, turned around, and slashed his knife towards Elder Sa Ren.
The latter, who thought he had the upper hand, didn’t expect the physical strength of a body cultivator to be so formidable, let alone their instinctive reaction speed. Caught off guard, he could only throw out a "Rocket Talisman".
However, before the talisman could burn and the flame arrow could form, the edge of the blade had already arrived.
In the blink of an eye, the half-burnt talisman was split in two, the forming flames instantly dispersed, and Elder Sa Ren’s head was sent flying, rolling on the ground.
After successfully killing Elder Sa Ren, there was no joy of revenge on Long Hao’s face. Instead, he let out a roar to the sky, as if to comfort his son’s spirit.
Yuan Ming watched this scene from a distance, feeling more sympathy and respect for this father, but no sympathy for Elder Sa Ren.
With the large-scale invasion of the Dawn organization, the defenses of Bi Luo Cave had completely collapsed, and it seemed that their destruction was only a matter of time.
Although Yuan Ming was some distance from the mountain gate, he was still targeted by the pursuing members of Dawn.
A middle-aged man in a black robe was the first to fly towards him.
Yuan Ming held a Thunder Talisman in one hand, hidden in his sleeve, and extended the other hand, showing the same gesture that Wu Lu had shown earlier to the man who was catching up.
Seeing his gesture, the man immediately stopped, nodded slightly at Yuan Ming, and then pursued in another direction.
"Sure enough..." Yuan Ming sighed inwardly.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance. It was the Cave Master.
His clothes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound. He shouted to the fleeing disciples of Bi Luo Cave, "All disciples, gather at the square at the foot of the mountain. The sect is about to activate the second layer of the magic array to protect everyone and counterattack."
