Chapter 550 - 233: Spoils for All Sides (Part 5)
Boom!
Boom!
The stone spikes slammed into the opponent’s spiritual power shield, exploding into dust.
Seeing the stone spikes weren’t very powerful, the girl let out a quiet sigh of relief and charged again with her sword.
But Shen Chongxu merely flicked his finger.
The shattered stone spikes suddenly coalesced beneath the girl in the void!
Boom!
A massive stone spike emerged out of nowhere and crashed directly into the girl’s spiritual power shield.
Though this strike didn’t break through her shield, the force was enough to knock her over, disrupting her balance.
In that critical moment, Shen Chongxu’s figure flashed, and a Black Iron Long Staff appeared in his hand!
Spiritual power surged in his body, and the Black Iron Long Staff, carrying immense force, swung down from the void!
Boom!
The girl, still destabilized from the stone spike ambush, was hit by Shen Chongxu’s terrifying strike!
Instantly, her spiritual power shield shook violently, like a glowing orb smashing towards the ground!
Bang!
The girl, enveloped in the spiritual power shield, crashed hard into Qingting City’s wall, creating a large hole in it.
Shen Chongxu wouldn’t give her a chance to breathe; taking advantage of her disoriented state, he swiftly moved in.
The Black Iron Long Staff in his hand, enhanced by the Earth Attribute, delivered blows with immense force!
After several strikes, he forcibly shattered the girl’s spiritual power shield.
However, the magical robe on her body blocked his attacks.
"Upper Grade Magical Robe?"
Upon realizing that his attacks were ineffective, Shen Chongxu frowned slightly.
This woman truly lives up to her status as a member of the Fushan Country’s imperial family; a cultivator in the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing wears such a powerful robe!
It’s a treasure coveted by most cultivators at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.
Yet, failing to break the robe’s defenses didn’t mean Shen Chongxu had no other means to deal with her.
Owners of the Earth Attribute Spirit Root possess a rather extraordinary ability: as long as they stand on the ground, they can amplify many techniques’ power and endlessly absorb nearby Earth Attribute Spiritual Power to quickly replenish their consumption.
Shen Chongxu’s plan now was to toy with this woman until she revealed a flaw.
For a while, various techniques like earth spikes, quicksand, and meteors continuously attacked the woman, intermixed with surprise blows from the Black Iron Long Staff.
So relentless were the attacks that the woman felt frustrated enough to cough up blood.
"Stop it!"
"You lunatic, stop at once!"
"I am the Commandery Princess, the most beloved great-granddaughter of the current Majesty!"
"If you harm even a hair on my head, the entire Qingting City will be buried with me!"
Shen Chongxu chuckled at her words.
This woman is indeed foolish.
"In that case, I absolutely cannot let you go."
Shen Chongxu spoke coldly and then shouted, "You’ve all heard, right? Stop watching and join the fight."
"The consequences of failing to kill her today are obvious, no need for me to elaborate."
As soon as his words fell, several figures suddenly appeared within Qingting City not far away.
These people were the guardians of the Bai Xuan Sect.
Although their cultivation was merely in the Early and Mid Stage of Fetal Breathing, each of them was a loose cultivator who frequently treaded the edge of life and death.
Loose cultivators might not appear prestigious outwardly, their status differing from the disciples of renowned sects.
Yet, those disciples wouldn’t dare underestimate them.
After all, compared to renowned factions, loose cultivators start from the bottom, and everything for training—resources, cultivation techniques, magical artifacts—is seized by their own prowess.
A loose cultivator without skill won’t survive to the Fetal Breathing Realm.
Those who do live to reach the Fetal Breathing Realm have climbed upon countless corpses.
"Sect Leader, you’ve brought quite a headache upon yourself this time."
"If I’m not mistaken, this little girl should be Wushi Qianrou, one of Lord of Fushan’s most cherished descendants."
"The Golden Brilliance Sword she holds is said to be a Middle Grade Magical Artifact personally bestowed by the Lord of Fushan."
After the appearances, the scholar-like Ming Zhengchu spoke with a faint smile.
Although his words sounded concerned, there was no fear in his eyes, only interest in observing Wushi Qianrou’s shapely figure.
The others similarly showed little fear, their eyes eagerly fixed on Wushi Qianrou’s robe and sword.
As veterans of the Bai Xuan Sect, the group knew Shen Chongxu’s temperament.
The spoils on the enemy, whoever grabs them first, gets to keep them.
As the sect leader, he never monopolizes the spoils due to his position.
Though Wushi Qianrou has a Golden Core Realm monster backing her, they were loose cultivators.
They could flee out of Fushan Country’s territory into the depths of the mountains if they had to.
Even as powerful as Wushi Puppet could be, it’s unlikely to overturn the entire Southern Border searching for them.
"No more chatter."
"This woman likely has a guardian nearby; if we delay, they’ll find us, and we’ll all die here."
Shen Chongxu spoke grimly.
The faces of the group behind him instantly changed, and they no longer hesitated, using various means to attack Wushi Qianrou!
Seeing these people knew her identity and still showed no fear, Wushi Qianrou panicked.
Her hand flashed, and she took out a dark golden token, about to inject spiritual power into it.
Boom!
"Trying to call for help?"
Shen Chongxu swung his staff down with great force, causing Wushi Qianrou’s body to tremble slightly, making her drop the token.
"Black Old Monster, it’s your turn."
Having made Wushi Qianrou drop her emergency token, Ming Zhengchu swiftly took out three dark-gold needles.
