Chapter 28 Two People Killed
Chapter 28 Two People Killed
His attack was insidious and vicious, clearly premeditated, with the intention of eliminating Wang Ergou, the weakest of the group, first.
The safest course of action would be to join forces with the Three Fiends of Liuyun to besiege and kill that handsome young man who had successfully cultivated his body and could cultivate sixty acres of spiritual fields.
"Watch out, Er Gou!"
Yang Changsheng shouted sharply. In the instant Zhao Kui's shoulder twitched, his extraordinary perception granted by the fourth level of Body Tempering, along with his already taut nerves, detected the killing intent.
Without hesitation, he used all his strength in his left hand to shove Wang Ergou, who was still in a daze, away!
boom!
Wang Ergou was pushed to the ground by the immense force, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow of the black iron brick, but the lingering gust of wind still stung his cheek.
Zhao Kui's attack missed, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but then, seeing Yang Changsheng exposed before him, his grin widened, and he coldly said, "Little brat, quick on the uptake. I'll send you on your way first!"
"boom!"
The black iron brick shone even brighter, and with a whistling sound, it smashed into Yang Changsheng's head with tremendous force, even more powerful than before, clearly pushing its power to the limit.
"Buzz!"
Yang Changsheng remained calm and composed. His magical power surged, and a talisman shimmering with soft golden light instantly flew out from his sleeve.
It was the first-grade mid-level golden light protective talisman given by Liu Xiaoying. When the talisman was activated, it transformed into a solid golden light shield, enveloping Yang Changsheng within it.
when!
The black iron brick slammed into the golden protective shield, producing a dull thud. The shield only rippled, easily blocking the attack and remaining incredibly sturdy.
"It's actually a high-quality, mid-grade, first-tier golden amulet."
The immense recoil caused Zhao Kui to briefly lose control of the mid-grade magic weapon. He exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Unexpectedly, this kid possesses such a high-quality defensive talisman.
At the instant the black iron brick was deflected by the golden light shield, Yang Changsheng, who had a keen understanding of the battlefield environment, began to launch a swift counterattack.
He didn't look at Zhao Kui; his inner power surged, and his hands flashed out hand seals.
"Freeze!"
Under the effect of the mutated water control technique, the already thin water vapor in the valley instantly condensed in front of him into a three-foot square, smooth as a mirror of ice.
Swish!
The silvery moonlight was precisely reflected by the ice mirror, transforming into a blinding beam of light that shot fiercely into the eyes of Zhao Kui and the short, third brother who had just killed several people and was about to pounce.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Caught off guard, Zhao Kui and the short third brother were blinded by the intense light at close range. Their vision went completely white, and the excruciating pain made them instinctively close their eyes and raise their hands to shield their eyes, causing a fatal stunt in their movements.
"Die."
Yang Changsheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His water control technique had already silently enveloped a bone-corroding poison needle. Under the perfect cover of the strong light reflected from the ice mirror, it was like a death shadow blending into the night, attacking the two of them instantly across several meters without making a sound.
Puff!
Two barely perceptible soft sounds, accompanied by a chill, caused Zhao Kui and the short third brother, who were covering their eyes, to suddenly freeze, their sinister smiles frozen in place.
They looked down in disbelief at their chests; their protective light barrier had been pierced, leaving a tiny, black hole the size of a pinprick that was rapidly expanding.
Immediately, an indescribable, intense pain, along with a tingling sensation, spread throughout my entire body.
"You...poisoned me..."
"Little beast..."
Zhao Kui and the short third brother made strange hoarse noises in their throats, their eyes filled with horror and resentment, but their bodies had lost all strength, and they fell down unwillingly, dying on the spot.
With his heart pierced and the poison spreading, even the best antidote and healing medicine were useless.
"Third brother! Kui-ko!"
The burly middle-aged man carrying the Black Scale Blade witnessed Zhao Kui's instant death. The third brother lay on the ground with empty eyes, filled with shock and anger, and his expression was full of grief and indignation.
The four had been friends since childhood, sharing life and death experiences. On their cultivation journey, they fought their way to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, enduring countless dangers without ever being harmed.
They even had the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, but now, they have lost two people in just a few breaths.
More importantly, he didn't see how Yang Changsheng made his move at all. This seemingly handsome and harmless young man was actually so vicious.
"boom!"
A terrifying spiritual pressure from the sixth level of Qi Refining erupted from his body like a landslide and a tsunami, locking onto Yang Changsheng with eyes that looked as if he were looking at a dead man.
"You little beast, how dare you! I'll tear you to pieces to appease my brothers' spirits in heaven!"
He roared, and the Black Scale Blade was drawn with a clang. The blade was as black as ink, with faint scale patterns shimmering with a cold light. It was a powerful mid-grade first-tier magic weapon.
"Bang!"
The burly middle-aged leader pushed off with his feet, transforming into a black whirlwind with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, and slashed down at Yang Changsheng with tremendous force.
The blade flashed fiercely, swirling with a layer of golden light, as if it were about to cut him in two.
Faced with this terrifying blade light that would make even an ordinary Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator change color, Yang Changsheng showed no fear in his eyes, but instead a cold mockery flashed across them.
"Well done!"
He neither dodged nor evaded, his blood and qi flowed freely, and his skin instantly shone with a deep and restrained luster of black iron, which was the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions of the Sun and Moon Forging Scripture, the Black Iron Body.
"when!"
The ear-piercing clang of metal against metal echoed through the mountain valley. The golden light shield shattered, and the black-scaled blade slashed fiercely at Yang Changsheng's crossed arms as he tried to block. The expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur; instead, dazzling sparks flew out.
The hard rocky ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered and caved in, sinking several feet deep, yet his upright figure remained unmoved, like an ancient divine tree.
The blade, sharp enough to sever a mid-grade magic weapon, only left two shallow white marks on Yang Changsheng's skin, which was as hard as black iron.
"What?! That's impossible!"
The burly middle-aged leader's pupils shrank suddenly, and his mind was shaken. He had never seen a cultivator with such a terrifying physical body, which was even harder than the mid-grade Black Water Xuan Turtle Shell of the same level.
Such an extraordinary occurrence can only mean one thing: the other party is an ancient body cultivator, a monster capable of fighting against demonic beasts.
However, only powerful forces can sustain such resource-intensive cultivation methods at great cost. How could a mere fisherman and farmer possibly achieve this?
"Condensing the Soul to Reflect the Moon!"
Yang Changsheng shouted coldly, and the bright moonlight fell down, a chilling, bone-piercing, extremely cold and yin energy that seemed to freeze the soul suddenly burst out from his body.
The temperature within a radius of about ten feet plummeted to freezing point, and the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of white frost. The burly middle-aged leader, who was engaged in close combat, was the first to be hit and had no way to avoid it.
"It's so cold..."
He felt an extremely cold force instantly invade his body, not only stiffening his limbs and slowing his movements, but also rushing straight to his sea of consciousness, making his thoughts seem frozen and unable to function properly.
"die!"
Yang Changsheng had been waiting for this moment. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was slowed down by the cold and his mind was in shock, he attacked with all his might.
"boom!"
His right fist, imbued with the immense power of ten thousand jin, struck out with a 20% amplification from his supernatural abilities. The wind howled like thunder, and the fist slammed heavily into the chest of the burly middle-aged man.
