This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

How can this be?

For a small auxiliary formation point like this, having a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was already considered to be a top-tier setup, so how could there be a Golden Core Cultivator appearing?

Overcoming a tier is like ascending to the heavens.

The Tiger Squad had been unstoppable against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but to think about defeating a Golden Core Cultivator, that was undoubtedly a fantasy!

Lu Qingshan felt a chill in his heart.

Realman Yushi, on the other hand, glanced at the members of the Tiger Squad, and murderous intent surged in his heart.

The Asura Blood Formation consisted of twelve main formation points, and he was one of the two Golden Core Cultivators responsible for the ninth main formation point.

However, not long ago, he had suddenly received a Spirit Message from Lord Rakshasa, stating that Cultivators from the Knowledge Guarding Pavilion were sabotaging the Asura Blood Formation, and he was to immediately go to support the auxiliary formation point and ambush the Knowledge Guarding Pavilion Cultivators.

Keep in mind, he had been in hiding in Zhenjiang City for nearly a hundred years, all in the hopes that upon the success of their grand plan, he would tower straight up into the high clouds.

When the time came for rewarding contributions, whether it was power or various cultivation resources, he would certainly not be lacking.

But all of this was based on the success of the grand plan.

If it failed, then his hundred years would have been utterly wasted.

The Knowledge Guarding Pavilion Cultivators' actions to break the formation were tantamount to ruining his path to power, so how could he not be furious?

"You could have taken action just now to save him, but you chose to attack us instead," Lu Qingshan said, his voice filled with a trace of coldness.

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan had his hands behind his back, quietly taking an item out of the Storage Ring and handing it over to the King of the West Mice, who had gone unnoticed all along due to his bloodline talent. Stay updated through empire

"A mere waste, why would he be worth my effort to save?" Realman Yushi said with disdain.

Underworld Cultivators were mostly extremely vicious and ruthless; they could even turn their backs on their own blood kin, so naturally, they would be even colder toward their colleagues.

As a Golden Core Cultivator, Realman Yushi could have intercepted Zhong Ming's attack to save Daoist Jianmu, and then teamed up with Jianmu to fight them head-on. Having an extra Foundation Establishment Cultivator for assistance would undoubtedly have been more prudent. Yet, he chose to stand idly by instead.

His intentions were exceptionally malevolent.

If the Demon Child's reincarnation succeeded, then during the subsequent reward distribution, one fewer participant in this grand scheme meant more benefits for himself.

Dealing with six Foundation Establishment Cultivators was a piece of cake for him, so it would be better if Daoist Jianmu died!

This was an Underworld Cultivator.

But often, it was these kinds of Cultivators who were the hardest to deal with because such people didn't have normal weaknesses. Their principle of action was to put self-interest above all else.

The brief standoff between Lu Qingshan and Realman Yushi gave those immersed in the sorrow of the Li Zu's death a bit of a respite.

Xu Hao was the quickest to come around, taking a pill out of his Storage Ring and swallowing it.

In the next moment, a violent aura erupted from Xu Hao.

Disaster Averting Elixir, it burned thirty years of one's lifespan to gain incredibly powerful explosive strength for a short time.

This was a Third Grade Spirit Pill that Xu Hao had exchanged for a considerable amount of Contribution Value from the Knowledge Guarding Pavilion's treasury, and today it was finally put to use.

Feeling Xu Hao's action, everyone else snapped out of it and began to bring out their own Spiritual Artifacts.

Their hearts were resolute.

Even if they weren't a match for the Golden Core Cultivator before them, they were determined to fight with all their might regardless.

This was especially true for Xiao Zhi, who had the deepest ties with the Li Zu. In just a blink of an eye, the Li Zu had been killed right beside him.

Xiao Zhi's eyes were bloodshot.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The true master Rain Stone did not wait for everyone to fully arrange their formation, he waved his hand mightily, and the flying needle magic artifact that had just killed Li Zu's men shot towards Lu Qingshan instantly, dense as pouring rain, and airtight.

After dealing with the Cultivators from the Defense Tower at hand, he still needed to hurry to the next auxiliary formation point to continue ambushing other Cultivators from the Defense Tower.

Therefore, he did not want to delay too much time on Tiger Squad.

Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang!

The continuous sound of metal clashing rang out.

The black needle artifacts that the true master Rain Stone had unleashed were all blocked by the Water Cloud Shield summoned by Lu Qingshan, and they had not caused any real harm to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan quickly retreated.

Although this attack had been completely blocked by the Water Cloud Shield, just this collision alone had depleted three and a half tenths of the Eight Gates Shield Armor's durability!

The attack of a Golden Core Cultivator was simply not something he could withstand head-on at this moment.

The moment Lu Qingshan retreated, Xu Hao stepped forward to fill the gap left by Lu Qingshan's withdrawal.

It was impossible not to feel intimidated by a Golden Core Cultivator, but as a Body Cultivator, he needed to stand his ground, to resist the direct attack of true master Rain Stone, and thereby buy time for his teammates.

Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand waved gently, and a Dharma Seal emitting a blue-green glow ignited in midair.

Beast Talisman: Spirit Leaf Ape!

The image of a massive shadowy ape several meters tall emerged and quickly solidified.

Roar!

As soon as the Spirit Leaf Ape appeared, its roar, like thunder, echoed non-stop within the confines of the stone chamber.

Under the drive of Lu Qingshan's Divine Sense, the Spirit Leaf Ape fiercely pounced towards the true master Rain Stone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With the Spirit Leaf Ape's spirit present, it should be able to relieve a lot of pressure for Xu Hao.

Seeing that his strike had missed, the true master Rain Stone looked at the Water Cloud Shield circling around Lu Qingshan with interest, his eyes shining, "A mere Foundation Establishment initial stage Cultivator actually possesses such a high-grade Defensive Artifact!"

Lu Qingshan's assets had always far exceeded those of his peers. The Water Cloud Shield was a Defensive Artifact he had acquired at a great expense, a Low-Grade Spiritual Artifact, which even made the true master Rain Stone, a Golden Core Cultivator, a bit envious.

Only a Defensive Artifact of such a grade could fend off the attack of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Although his desire to kill Lu Qingshan in an instant was unsuccessful, the true master Rain Stone did not take it to heart. With a wave of his hand, the black needle artifact split into two groups, one tangled with Xu Hao, and the other went after the spirit of the Spirit Leaf Ape.

Everyone was playing their last cards.

The space of the stone chamber severely limited the effectiveness of the massive Demon Beasts, so Xiao Zhi was unable to summon his Red Rock Goose to battle.

Although Beast Cultivators often rely on their Beast Pets for a major part of their combat power, they still possess a certain level of strength.

Xiao Zhi then summoned his own magic artifact, a total of thirty-six Fire Attribute Spirit Pearls.

These Spirit Pearls, like pearls, strung together and flew towards the true master Rain Stone.

Each Spirit Pearl erupted with a surge of fierce flame, intertwining midair, forming a blazing serpent.

Zhong Ming concentrated all the Yin Qi he had left into a Short Sword, turned into a wisp of black smoke, and vanished from sight again.

Su Shu gave Lu Qingshan a meaningful glance, and her hands formed a complex Dharma Seal. At her fingertips, a stunningly beautiful red flower appeared.

Su Shu tossed it into the air and the flower spun around once. The next moment, numerous petals detached and each petal, like a sharp blade, sliced towards the true master Rain Stone. Amidst the brilliant flurry of petal blades, a barely noticeable green light flashed by.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan immediately caught on, and in the next moment, the Crying Soul Sword turned into a shadow streak, rubbing against the air with a piercing sound, and shot towards the true master Rain Stone.

Even in the midst of battle, the Flying Sword unleashed by Lu Qingshan still managed to draw a sidelong glance from the true master Rain Stone.
