Chapter 584: Chapter 295: Slaughter! Sword Spirit!
"Moo!"
At this moment, the Cyan-Horned Bull roared mightily, spewing a white light beam from its mouth, directly attacking the Fake Pill Cultivator with the surname Li.
"You want to detain this old man, even if you are a True Pill Cultivator, you never..."
The Fake Pill Cultivator, who was confident in escaping, raised his hand to release a massive defensive shield in the face of the attack.
However, the moment the white light beam touched it, his expression changed dramatically, and his eyes revealed a look of fear.
The Mana Shield he had raised was instantly shattered under the white light beam.
Or rather, before shattering, the Mana Shield was actually petrified!
"Mutated Demon Beast!"
At this moment, the Fake Pill Master with the surname Li was in utter terror, for a powerful Mutated Demon Beast that could handle multiple beasts of the same level was far beyond the capability of an ordinary Spirit Pet.
"Impossible!"
This creature was rarer than a Barbaric Exotic Beast, and yet he had run straight into one.
"Friend! It’s a misunderstanding..."
Panic-stricken, he hurriedly channeled mana to resist, but visibly, his hand was turning to stone, frightening him into frantically circulating his mana.
The Cyan-Horned Bull on the other side roared fiercely, no longer showing its usual lazy demeanor while lounging in the pool,
but now appeared as a Tier Three Demon Beast feared by all.
"Mis..."
Puff!
With blood splattering, the Fake Pill Cultivator looked incredulously down at his chest, where a sword tip had already pierced through.
"Mr. Li, it seems it’s too late to call it a misunderstanding now."
The cold voice echoed as Lin Chang’an, taking advantage of the Cyan-Horned Bull’s distraction attack, controlled the Blood Fiend Sword to fly over.
It turned out that in the previous Sword Aura, there was a Blood Fiend Sword hidden.
Lin Chang’an himself raised a Mana Shield to prevent retaliation from the opponent.
"Fine, since you want me dead, then I will take you all with me!"
Though Mr. Li, the Fake Pill Cultivator, was usually cowardly, only bullying Low Tier Cultivators, under the threat of death, a ruthless determination emerged.
He roared furiously, ready to self-destruct his Golden Core.
"Moo!"
With a thunderous moo, the Cyan-Horned Bull’s figure suddenly transformed into a giant beast three zhang tall, raising its head to roar vehemently.
Its four hooves trampled the air, sending out a powerful roar, while layers of pale golden defensive Mana Shield enveloped its body.
Boom!
The terrifying power of the Fake Pill Cultivator’s self-destruction unleashed a terrifying shockwave, dispersing the clouds all around.
"Moo!"
As the aftermath of the explosion slowly dissipated, the Cyan-Horned Bull roared with its head raised, the defensive shield around it now covered with numerous cracks, but visibly recovering under continuous mana.
"Master!"
Behind the Cyan-Horned Bull, the Sword Servant standing in front of it caught Lin Chang’an’s gaze, his eyes flickering before his expression returned to calm.
"Elder Lin!"
At this time, Zhou Bingxuan, in a bedraggled state, also flew over using sword control.
Seeing the Sword Servant’s cold expression now, and recalling the words many people privately speculated about this concubine, Zhou Bingxuan found it all laughable.
Just this alone ensures that no one could replace the Sword Servant’s position.
"Time to clean up the battlefield."
In the tranquil gaze of Lin Chang’an, he glanced at the two, his voice calm, but his hand grasped the fair wrist of the Sword Servant.
With the infusion of mana, the Sword Servant’s internal injuries and mana rapidly recovered.
"Moo!"
The giant Cyan-Horned Bull, three zhang in size, looked back at this scene and let out a grievous moo.
It was the one that stood up against everything, yet in the end, its master didn’t even give it a Spirit Fruit.
This made the Cyan-Horned Bull reduce its size slowly back to normal, mooing softly in a manner to seek favor.
"Alright, this is for you."
Lin Chang’an shook his head, taking out two Spirit Fruits from his Storage Bag, while his mind still echoed the scene from before.
"No wonder it’s a Mutated Demon Beast, the petrified augmentation, its defensive power far exceeds that of similar Demon Beasts."
This defensive power was extremely formidable.
A Fake Pill Cultivator’s self-destructed Golden Core, under normal circumstances, would injure an ordinary Tier Three Early Stage Demon Beast.
Yet, the Cyan-Horned Bull, relying on its own defense, completely withstood it.
Amid the impact of Mr. Li’s self-destruction, his wealth and possessions were scattered all over.
This was when the usefulness of Divine Sense was highlighted, as a powerful scan with it could discover scattered Spirit Stones and other remnants of materials.
There were quite a few scattered materials, but clearly, the valuable ones were few.
Due to the self-destruction, some fragile or fire-averse treasures, as well as those containing Spirit Liquid, had already returned to the heavens and earth.
"This seal is not bad."
However, the most notable find was the Magical Treasure, a large, earth-yellow Great Seal, now dimmed.
A Tier Three Lower Grade Treasure with only minimal loss of its spirituality.
There was also a Jade Scroll recording corpse refining and corpse raising techniques, surprisingly unharmed in the explosion’s aftermath.
Simultaneously, Lin Chang’an did not forget to send messages to Hu Jin, Fairy Ni Chang, and others.
Before the reinforcements arrived, he obliterated the traces left by the Cyan-Horned Bull’s mutated attacks with a wave of his hand.
...
Not long after that, reinforcements arrived, and looking at the scene after the self-destruction, they couldn’t help but show somber expressions.
"Things have really been getting more chaotic lately; there have already been several incidents of Core Formation Cultivators killing to seize treasures."
Following exchange between the people, Hu Jin also shook his head while speaking.
This chaos was all because the restrictions of the Secret Realm were becoming increasingly weak, and as Foundation Establishment Cultivators started entering and leaving more frequently, even more treasures were being discovered.
Naturally, this would incite unrest.
"Thank you, fellow cultivators, for coming to our aid."
Seeing Fairy Ni Chang, Liu Ruyu, and Old Hu arrive, Lin Chang’an also expressed his gratitude.
