Chapter 401 - 199: Annihilating a Squad, Sword Strikes the Golden Core
He began shouting loudly.
But to his great astonishment, just as Chu Ning was attacking him, five shadows simultaneously attacked the other five people.
When he fixed his eyes on them, he was shocked to discover that these were actually several powerful puppets.
In that moment, all six of them were under attack, leaving no time to send messages.
At this moment, feeling the power of these Double Fire Ring Sub-Rings, the middle-aged scholar had to hold his tongue.
He fully focused on defense.
The middle-aged scholar didn’t know which magical artifact he used, but it emitted a blue light.
In appearance, it seemed to be an ice attribute magical artifact.
Although under the attack of the Double Fire Rings, this light quickly shattered.
However, the momentum of the Double Fire Rings was halted for a moment.
Seizing this moment, the middle-aged scholar swiftly dodged to the side.
His speed was quite fast.
However, as fast as he was, Chu Ning was even faster!
The Divine Wind Escape flashed in and out, and in the next moment, Chu Ning had already appeared beside the middle-aged scholar.
Both hands struck out simultaneously.
The right hand launched a seemingly ordinary punch, hitting the newly formed Body Protection Light Shield of the middle-aged scholar.
In the next moment, the middle-aged scholar felt a massive destructive force penetrate the defense shield in front of him and hit his body.
His throat sweetened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before he understood what was happening, a buzzing sound rang in his head.
His body paused for a moment, and even his gaze became unfocused for an instant.
"This punch actually carried a spiritual sense attack!"
The middle-aged scholar quickly reacted.
A look of horror appeared on his face.
He truly couldn’t understand how Chu Ning’s seemingly ordinary punch could have such power.
Not only did it ignore his defense shield, directly injuring him,
it also contained a spiritual sense attack.
Immediately, his face turned pale again.
In that previous strike, because his spiritual sense was attacked, he couldn’t maintain his Magical Power Shield outside his body.
At this moment, with a wave of Chu Ning’s left hand, a flame-condensed tiger-shaped demon beast flew out, roaring towards him.
"No!"
In the middle-aged scholar’s terrified voice, the giant mouth of the Flame Demon Tiger opened wide, immediately swallowing him whole.
In less than three breaths, the middle-aged scholar was instantly killed by Chu Ning.
The remaining five of the Yin Demon Sect were not in a good situation either, facing five puppets controlled by Chu Ning’s spiritual sense of Foundation Establishment Stage.
The two remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators fared slightly better, but the three Qi Refining Stage cultivators were almost instantly killed.
In the blink of an eye, only the last two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were left out of six.
At this moment, the two cultivators’ faces changed drastically.
Their first thought was to escape quickly, but they couldn’t leave due to the obstruction of the two Foundation Establishment puppets.
At this moment, in the sky, Chu Ning waved his hand, sending the Double Fire Rings towards one of the cultivators.
His body flickered and vanished, and then he appeared beside the other cultivator.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
Accompanied by two consecutive screams,
in the next moment, the shadows of both vanished in the raging flames.
"After reaching the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, my strength has increased tremendously.
Plus, with the help of Foundation Establishment-level puppets, even facing so many people, it’s no trouble at all."
Chu Ning thought quietly with a calm face, simultaneously raising both hands.
Immediately, several falling storage bags were directly pulled into Chu Ning’s hands.
Without a trace of hesitation, Chu Ning transformed into a rainbow of light, heading straight towards Jade Spring Island.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sky.
As for whether the sudden disappearance of a few more disciples from the Yin Demon Sect would cause another bloody conflict in the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands,
those were not his concerns.
Just after Chu Ning’s figure disappeared, a shadow flickered in place, and a figure appeared.
This person was clad in a black robe, only half of their body visible, surrounded by a layer of black mist.
It was none other than Xia Kui, the Golden Core Elder of the Yin Demon Sect.
At this moment, his body was shrouded in black mist hovering in the air, and Xia Kui’s brows furrowed tightly.
Three months ago, both he and the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow were severely injured by Chu Ning’s Thundering Bead.
Because the Black Fire Vulture-winged Crow needed to refine the essence blood gathered from the Blood Evil Yin Demon Array, it was not suitable for long-distance flight.
This gave Xia Kui a chance to stay at the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands to heal.
But today, while in secluded cultivation, he suddenly sensed through a secret technique used by the middle-aged scholar that something had happened to him.
Arriving as quickly as he could, he still found himself one step too late.
With a wave of his hand, Xia Kui released a green spirit insect from an insect bag.
After circling once, this spirit insect immediately flew back to his hand.
Feeling the aura fluctuation of magical combat sensed by the spirit insect he nurtured, Xia Kui’s facial expression suddenly became somewhat twisted.
"It’s that kid! He didn’t die!!"
Letting out a hoarse low roar in the air, Xia Kui waved his hand again.
The green spirit insect once more flew out.
After making a circle in the air, it headed directly in the direction where Chu Ning had disappeared.
...
After using thunderous methods to kill several cultivators of the Yin Demon Sect, Chu Ning was uncertain if other Yin Demon Sect cultivators would notice.
Without any hesitation, he continued flying towards Jade Spring Island.
Along the way, he didn’t encounter any other cultivators, and smoothly arrived at Jade Spring Island.
Chu Ning had been to Jade Spring Island once before and had even specifically checked the location of the array there.
So now, he went straight to the array’s location.
Holding a jade token, Chu Ning looked at the array, his eyes involuntarily flickering.
Even though Cen Zijin had repaired this teleportation array and vaguely sensed from the array’s layout that it was a long-distance teleportation array,
even Cen Zijin didn’t know the exact destination of this teleportation array.
Chu Ning previously thought that Cen Zijin might have left the Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands through this array.
After pondering for a few days, he felt that perhaps he wasn’t entirely correct.
At the time Cen Zijin left, the Thousand Islands Alliance hadn’t implemented a large-scale blockade.
Cen Zijin had her own illusion techniques, and she had time to instruct others to give him something.
Moreover, although the Yaochi Palace was far from here, it had a clear destination.
She might not have left via the teleportation array to an uncertain place.
Cen Zijin had other choices back then, but now he didn’t have many places to choose from.
"I don’t even know what’s on the other end of this teleportation array, if... hmm?"
Just as Chu Ning was staring at the teleportation array and thinking, his expression changed suddenly, as if he sensed something.
He then looked up towards the rear.
In that direction, a small shadow was rapidly speeding toward Jade Spring Island.
Due to the distance, Chu Ning could not yet sense who was coming through divine sense.
However, the speed of that escape technique made Chu Ning’s expression change slightly.
In just a blink of cultivation technique, the shadow had already approached within a thousand zhang.
The speed of that escape technique was not much different from his Divine Wind Escape.
"Could it be a Golden Core Cultivator?"
Chu Ning’s expression shifted, immediately linking it to the Golden Core Elder from the Yin Demon Sect.
Without further hesitation, he directly entered the teleportation array holding the jade token.
If he had a choice before, he now had none at all.
Even with the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman in hand, he was unwilling to fight a Golden Core Cultivator.
Who knows if the Yin Demon Sect had more tricks up their sleeve.
Once inside the teleportation array, Chu Ning cast several incantations into the jade token.
Instantly, the entire teleportation array began to flash softly with a yellow light.
"You brat, your life is mine!!"
At the same time, a hoarse roar erupted from the sky behind him.
It was Xia Kui who had already approached, using spiritual sense to detect Chu Ning’s location.
Sensing that Chu Ning was about to leave through the teleportation array, he directly spat out his Golden Core.
The Golden Core transformed into a seven-colored radiant light, hurtling straight towards the teleportation array.
Just as the Golden Core was about to arrive,
the faint yellow light of the teleportation suddenly flickered and vanished.
Then, Chu Ning’s figure disappeared from within the teleportation array.
"Boom!!"
The next moment, the Golden Core struck the teleportation array with a loud crash!
Simultaneously, a ghostly blue sword aura exuding chill blasted out from where Chu Ning disappeared, targeting the seven-colored radiant Golden Core!
