Ch 295: Killing Cheng Tian
Cheng Tian heard this, a ferocious look on his face. “Since Junior Brother already knows, I won’t hide it from you, Senior Brother! I, Cheng Tian, have been cultivating since I was a child. I broke through to Qi Refining Stage 10 at the age of ten, Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty, and Late Foundation Establishment at the age of fifty. Today, sixty-seven years have passed, and the senior and junior brothers of the same period have already reached the Golden Core Realm, but I am still stuck at Late Foundation Establishment!”
“A person’s talent determines their growth limit. You lack talent, so you can’t blame others!” Meng Liunian said indifferently.
“What lack of talent? What do you, a lowly commoner from the Lower Realm, know?” He widened his eyes, his face flushed red, and he roared like a mad beast, “Since I was a child, I have shown extraordinary talent, and I have always been the undisputed genius in everyone’s eyes! How can I be trapped in this mere Late Foundation Establishment and unable to break through? What I lack is not talent, but an opportunity that is hard to come by! And now, the opportunity is right in front of me. Tell me, should I seize it firmly?”
“So that’s it. You are no different from that Xin Daoyuan, trying to refine me into a so-called Extreme Yang Spirit Pill to break through your cultivation bottleneck!” Meng Liunian glanced at him with disdain, his tone as calm as water.
“Hahahaha, since you already know, then obediently accept your fate! After Li Feng got the news, he dared to hide it from you and me and went to the Mortal Realm alone to capture you. It’s a pity that he had bad luck and ended up dying unexpectedly. Now, you have delivered yourself to my door, falling into my hands. It can truly be said that heaven is taking care of me and helping me!” Cheng Tian laughed wildly, the ferocious smile on his face sending chills down one’s spine.
“You want to use me to refine pills? With your little ability, you are far from qualified!” Meng Liunian was not moved at all, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
“Is that so? You are just a mere Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet you dare to speak wildly here, not knowing whether to live or die! Today is your death day!” Cheng Tian shouted angrily. Before he could finish his words, a cold light suddenly flashed, and an extremely sharp flying sword sped towards Meng Liunian like lightning, bringing with it a fierce sword Qi, whistling and tearing through the air, aiming directly at his vital parts. Meng Liunian smiled disdainfully. He had opened up 360 acupoints, and his physical body was already comparable to the Mid-Golden Core stage. Facing this High-Level Magic Item flying sword, he did not dodge or evade, allowing the flying sword to stab him.
Cheng Tian frantically manipulated the flying sword, launching fierce attacks at the opponent again and again. However, to his disbelief, after hundreds of fierce attacks, Meng Liunian did not leave even the slightest bit of a wound!
He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice, “How… how is this possible? You are only Mid-Foundation Establishment, why is your physical body so strong?”
Facing Cheng Tian’s astonishment, the corners of Meng Liunian’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he replied, “Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!” Before he could finish speaking, his figure flashed suddenly, instantly turning into a bolt of lightning and speeding away. At the same time, he swung the Immortal Slaughtering Sword tightly in his hand and shouted in a low voice, “Autumn Sorrow!”
In an instant, countless Yin Spirits visible to the naked eye seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, whistling from all directions and gathering on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. As Meng Liunian waved his arm, those Yin Spirits merged with the majestic sword Qi and surged towards Cheng Tian together.
Seeing this, Cheng Tian’s face suddenly changed drastically, and he secretly cried out that things were not good. He frantically took out a huge and heavy shield from his Storage Ring and blocked it in front of him. At the same time, he quickly stuck three Mystic Armor Talismans emitting a faint light on his body to enhance his defensive capabilities.
However, the power of this move that Meng Liunian displayed was too terrifying. The seemingly invisible and intangible sword Qi forcibly cut off the waterfall when it touched it, and the water flowed everywhere like pearls with broken strings. The large shield blocking Cheng Tian’s face only lasted for a short breath before it completely shattered in a loud noise.
Then, the three Mystic Armor Talismans were like paper, without any resistance under the impact of the sword Qi, and were instantly torn into pieces. The sword Qi containing endless power struck Cheng Tian’s body firmly.
Only a deafening roar was heard, and the terrifying sword Qi suddenly exploded, raging wildly in all directions. Cheng Tian’s entire body was directly blasted into a ball of scarlet blood mist by this powerful force, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Meng Liunian shook his head, “I didn’t want to kill you, but you were determined to seek death!” With a wave of his hand, he sucked Cheng Tian’s Storage Ring into his hand and probed into it with his Divine Sense.
Not only were there a large number of Spirit Stones and Elixir inside, but there were also many High-Level Magic Items. There was also a map of the area around Lingyan Holy Land. He copied the map, and then transferred the Elixir and Spirit Stones inside to his Storage Ring.
Just as he was counting the spoils, a Blood Talisman flew out and shattered, and a phantom of a Slant-Eyed Dragon with a long beard appeared in the air. He said angrily, “Where did this junior come from, daring to kill my Slant-Eyed Dragon’s disciple! Even if you escape to the Ends of the Earth, this old man will tear you into pieces!”
Meng Liunian was slightly stunned when he saw this. He took out the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and slashed the picture to pieces. “I killed him, so I killed him. If I can’t beat him, can’t I run?” Then he smashed Cheng Tian’s Storage Ring to pieces. He didn’t want any of the Magic Items inside, and he didn’t even keep the Cultivation Manuals inside! He was afraid of leaving a Divine Sense Imprint, which would lead to him being caught up.
Then he took out the map and glanced at it. The scope of Lingyan Holy Land was extremely wide, a full ten thousand miles in radius, with countless cities within its borders. The map marked the location of the experts within its borders. Red dots indicated Hunyuan Experts. In addition to Lingyan Holy Land, there were two red dots within its borders. The remaining green dots indicated Golden Core Experts, of which there were as many as several thousand. As for the remaining yellow dots, they indicated Foundation Establishment Experts, of which there were nearly ten thousand! Such a behemoth made Meng Liunian smile bitterly.
He couldn’t stay in this Lingyan Holy Land any longer. The closest ones were the neighboring Xianyin Holy Sect and Muyun Holy Land. Whether it was Lingyan Holy Land, Muyun Holy Land, or Xianyin Holy Sect, there were Hunyuan Experts sitting in charge.
Xianyin Holy Sect was where Xin Daoyuan went. If he ran into him on the road, the aura of Extreme Yin Spiritual Liquid remaining on his body would definitely be discovered by him. Now, the only thing to do was to go to Muyun Holy Land.
Thinking of this, he flew towards the northeast on his sword.
Lingyan Holy Land, on Slant Peak. A shocking roar spread throughout the Holy Land, followed by an angry roar, “Bastard, how dare you ignore this old man!”
A cyan figure flew out of Slant Peak, and an arrogant aura spread out, causing the disciples on the nearby mountains to tremble.
“Damn, that guy has lost his mind, daring to provoke Slant-Eyed Saint, he doesn’t want to live anymore!”
“Clang, clang!”
“Two Lingyan Bells, this means that a Holy Temple disciple has died outside! Could it be a senior brother from Slant-Eye Peak?”
“What do you know? Besides Slant-Eyed Saint, there is only Senior Brother Cheng Tian on Slant-Eye Peak… Could it be that something happened to Senior Brother Cheng Tian!”
“How is that possible? Although Senior Brother Cheng Tian has been stuck in the Late Foundation Establishment stage for many years, with his Magic Items, he has the power to fight even a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator. Who killed him?”
……
A group of disciples were talking about it, their eyes looking at Slant-Eye Peak.
Not long after, a thin middle-aged man flew from Fengling Mountain, not far from Slant-Eye Peak.
“Senior Brother Slant Eye, calm down! Don’t hurt my Holy Temple disciples!”
“Junior Brother Fengling, don’t stop me. Although Cheng Tian’s cultivation has been unable to break through due to his limited talent, I believe that he is my successor. Now that he has been killed, how can I not be angry?”
Feng Ling waved his hand, “Senior Brother, I’m not stopping you, I want to chase that person with you! Cheng Tian and I entered the Holy Temple together, and now that he is dead, how can I sit idly by!”
“Okay, I’m relieved to hear you say that! Let’s go!” With that said, Slant-Eyed Dragon and Feng Ling flew out of Lingyan Holy Land.
“Alas! This Holy World is getting more and more chaotic!” A murmur came from Lingyan Holy Land.
Mortal Realm, in the depths of the secret room of the Jiuyou Kingdom’s Capital Conference Hall, Jiu Youming was kneeling on the ground, and in front of him was an old man with skin and bones sitting cross-legged.
“Old Ancestor, I have decided to go to Muyun Holy Land to cultivate, please help me, Old Ancestor!”
Jiu You Old Ancestor heard this, gently raised his old eyelids, and a hoarse voice sounded, “Ming’er, Luofeng Saint of Muyun Holy Land is my friend. Take my Sound Transmission Jade Slip to Muyun Holy Land, and he will help you!” As he spoke, he threw out a Jade Slip wearily.
Jiu Youming took the Jade Slip and kowtowed heavily, “Thank you, Old Ancestor, this great-grandson will definitely live up to your expectations!” After saying that, he quickly got up, passed Jiu You Old Ancestor, came to the hidden Teleportation Array in the secret room, took out Spirit Stones to activate the Teleportation Array, a golden light flashed, and his figure disappeared into it.
