The moment she realized something was wrong, Lu Sangjiu turned to leave without a second thought.
However, it was too late. The moment she turned, several figures burst out from the otherwise peaceful woods.
Without a single word exchanged, several Spells came crashing down on her!
With her path blocked, Lu Sangjiu had no choice but to stop.
Seeing no chance to escape, she hesitated no longer. She released Duoduo to conjure an Ice Wall while her hands rapidly performed Sealing to block their attacks.
Her opponents were thoroughly prepared. What Lu Sangjiu truly hadn’t expected was that to deal with her, a single Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they had actually dispatched a powerhouse at the Mid-stage Golden Core!
Thankfully, this man didn’t attack right away. Instead, he stood in the back, coldly watching as the others initiated the assault on Lu Sangjiu.
As a result, Lu Sangjiu’s layered defenses managed to block all their attacks, leaving her unharmed.
At the same time, she instantly understood. ’They don’t want me dead. They must be planning to capture me alive.’
’Otherwise, if that Golden Core Stage expert had attacked just now, I would have been severely injured, if not dead.’
Realizing this, Lu Sangjiu knew she only had one chance to strike. The moment they discovered how formidable she was, that Golden Core Cultivator would no longer stand idly by.
’I have to eliminate all eight of these Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in one fell swoop. Only then, facing just the Mid-stage Golden Core, will I have a fighting chance.’
Her gaze turned sharp. Without hesitation, Lu Sangjiu unleashed the incredibly potent crowd-control technique, Thousand Silk Entanglement, while simultaneously having Duoduo cast the Ice Condensation Technique on their assailants.
Duoduo’s Ice Condensation Technique had extremely strong Freezing Power. It pinned down and slowed her opponents, creating the perfect opening for Thousand Silk Entanglement.
In an instant, several screams of agony erupted, and five of the eight attackers collapsed.
The Golden Core Stage Cultivator, who had initially dismissed Lu Sangjiu, paled upon seeing this.
"Fall back!"
He barked a low command, simultaneously performing Sealing with both hands. Several golden Spiritual Arrows instantly materialized and shot toward Lu Sangjiu!
Duoduo’s Ice Wall was pierced in an instant, shattering with a loud CRASH.
Although it only bought a mere moment, it was the opening Lu Sangjiu needed. Nine Dragon Roar howled toward the three Cultivators still struggling against Thousand Silk Entanglement, blasting them backward.
Their defenses shattered, Thousand Silk Entanglement bored into their hearts. The three let out brief screams, then fell silent.
As for Lu Sangjiu, after launching her own strike, she had quickly activated several Defense Treasures on her person, just barely enduring the blow. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Still, the force of the impact knocked her back several steps, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
She was hurt, but her body only swayed slightly; she did not collapse.
Lu Sangjiu was merely injured, but all of his men had been wiped out right under his nose. The Golden Core Cultivator’s face was livid. "It seems I’ve underestimated you!"
Although he’d launched that last strike in a hurry, not using his full power, it was still shocking that Lu Sangjiu could withstand it with her Foundation Establishment Cultivation.
Realizing she would not be easy to deal with, the Golden Core Cultivator’s expression grew solemn, all traces of his previous contempt gone.
Lu Sangjiu smirked. "You’ve underestimated far more than just that."
’Although this place is remote, it’s not actually that far from the Gold and Silver Gate’s outpost.’
’And yet, despite the commotion from the battle, no one else has been drawn here. I’ll bet they’ve set up a Barrier.’
’It might not completely block the senses of the Gold and Silver Gate’s High-level cultivators, but it should be able to hold them off for a short time.’
In that case, Lu Sangjiu had no reason to hold back anymore.
She watched as her opponent began Sealing again, and an even more terrifying wave of Spiritual Power pulsed from him.
Lu Sangjiu, however, recalled Duoduo into her Spirit Beast Bag and didn’t activate any further defenses.
She slowly raised her left hand, and pure Demonic Qi began to churn in her palm!
The Golden Core Cultivator was halfway through casting his Spell when the sight startled him so much that his casting faltered for a moment.
"Demonic Qi? How is that possible?!"
He stared at Lu Sangjiu in shock, but what he saw next was even more stunning.
Lu Sangjiu raised her right hand, in which swirled pure Spiritual Energy!
’Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi... coexisting inside one person? How is she still alive and well?’
Lu Sangjiu’s hands slowly drew closer as she grinned at him. "This is a new technique I’ve been working on. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, so you’ll be my guinea pig... Watch closely. This one, I call... Immortal... Demon... Attraction!"
As she enunciated each word, Lu Sangjiu forcibly compressed the Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi into a swirling black-and-white sphere, then hurled it at the Golden Core Cultivator!
At that moment, the Golden Core Cultivator felt every hair on his body stand on end; he sensed the threat of death from that attack!
His eyes flew wide. Daring not to hesitate for even half a second, his hands rapidly performed Sealing as he unleashed his own strongest attack.
The two forces collided, instantly unleashing a massive wave of energy.
Yet the Golden Core Cultivator’s strongest attack, his pride and joy, didn’t even last a single breath. It was blasted apart by Lu Sangjiu’s Immortal Demon Attraction, which then shot straight toward the Golden Core Cultivator himself!
"NO!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream rang out. The moment it touched the Golden Core Cultivator, the sphere of Immortal Demon Attraction exploded completely. A blinding ball of light engulfed him, and the terrifying power flattened all the surrounding trees and plants!
Even Lu Sangjiu was sent flying three or four meters back by the force, crashing into a tree and vomiting blood nonstop.
Lu Sangjiu never would have imagined that the worst injury she sustained today would be self-inflicted... ’How absurd!’
But it was, in fact, her first time using Immortal Demon Attraction. Before this, it had only been a theory; she had never practiced it since she couldn’t risk using Demonic Qi carelessly.
’Using it just this once left Lu Sangjiu herself shaken... Harnessing the mutual repulsion of Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi, compressing them, then letting them detonate... the power it generates is truly terrifying.’
’But I can’t control it proficiently yet. The slightest mistake could injure me. I’d better use it as little as possible from now on.’
As the blast wave dissipated, Lu Sangjiu saw a large crater where the Golden Core Cultivator had been. The person inside... ah, there was no person left. freёwebnoѵel.com
The Cultivator had been blasted into smithereens, leaving only a gory, unrecognizable mess of flesh and blood. It was an utterly gruesome sight.
Lu Sangjiu wrinkled her nose in disgust after a single glance. She quickly took out some Spirit-killing Water and dissolved the pulpy remains, along with the corpses of the other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
That last blast had shattered the Barrier around the area, which must have alerted the High-level cultivators from the Gold and Silver Gate by now.
Lu Sangjiu didn’t dare linger for another moment. She turned, executed the Flying Cloud Step, and sped off into the depths of the dense woods.
’The main road has too many people and prying eyes; I might be discovered. I have no choice but to go deeper into the forest and leave from another direction.’
Not long after Lu Sangjiu had fled, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Gold and Silver Gate appeared at the battle site.
Looking at the enormous crater and sensing the residual aura in the air, his expression grew heavy.
"...A Demon Cultivator."
’The Gold and Silver Gate’s Sword Seizing Conference is imminent, and a Demon Cultivator has appeared here... If word of this gets out, it will cause no small amount of trouble.’
He swept the surroundings with his Divine Sense but found no suspicious persons.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator waved his hand, erasing all traces of the aura from the area, then turned and departed, his expression heavy with worry.
’A Demon Cultivator is on the move... This is a grave matter. I must report it to the Sect Leader immediately.’
