novelFighting Cultivators with Swords!
| ← Ch.598 | Ch.600 → |
Hongyuan Master stood in the middle of the sky. When he saw that a Core Formation Realm cultivator came out, he held his head up high and laughed, "Haha, Junior, is your master not in the valley?"
He still had to confirm again just in case there was a strong cultivator in the valley and didn't appear because of special circumstances.
There were those who attack other sects thinking that there weren't any strong fighters in the other sect but then had bumped into the timing when the other sect's great cultivator came out from seclusion. In turn, the attacking side would be instantaneously killed. Such events happened very frequently in the Fifth Heaven.
Hao Ren looked at him and directly shot a golden light at him without any response.
Hongyuan Master didn't think a Core Formation Realm cultivator would dare to attack him, so he hurried to fly half a meter away and used a hand to defend himself.
Bang... Hongyuan Master was pushed back half a meter when the golden light hit his palm.
Mo Lianshan and the others didn't expect Hao Ren to attack a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. However, when they looked carefully, they saw that Hao Ren was holding their grand uncle-master's dharma treasure, Sky-Turning Stamp!
"Junior! How dare you!" Hongyuan Master was enraged.
He was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator but was knocked back for half a meter by a Core Formation Realm cultivator! Of course, he thought that he didn't need to use his dharma treasure in front of a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but he took a beating since he used his hand to defend.
Hao Ren sneered a little and shot out three golden lights on the back of Little White.
His realm was higher than Duan Yao's, so he could use the Sky-Turning Stamp more efficiently.
The three golden lights went flying toward Hongyuan Master.
"You're asking for death!" Hongyuan Master struck at Hao Ren ferociously several times.
Mo Lianshan and the other Sky Mountain Sect cultivators were delighted by the sight. They had wanted such a situation where Hongyuan Master and Hao Ren would destroy each other.
Whoosh! Four colorful light beams under Little White's feet appeared again.
It was the traveling speed of the Nascent Realm Realm!
When Hongyuan Master struck out, he didn't expect that a level 3 snow lion would be able to fly so fast. One of his blows destroyed the three golden lights that were flying toward him while the rest couldn't hit Hao Ren.
However, Hao Ren was dashing in the direction where Mo Lianshan and the other Sky Mountain Sect cultivators gathered.
Mo Lianshan and the other Core Formation Realm cultivators were all appalled and threw out their dharma treasures
However, that might not be enough to fend themselves. After all, Hongyuan Master struck with anger, and that was powerful!
Bang! The dharma treasures were knocked away, also sending Mo Lianshan and those Core Formation Realm cultivators flying.
"Hongyuan Master, what is the meaning to this!" Mo Lianshan immediately asked viciously. Although Mo Lianshan was only a Core Formation Realm cultivator, he was not scared of this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator on Fifth Heaven.
From Mo Lianshan's perspective, Hongyuan Master probably did that on purpose! Their grand uncle-master had just scolded Hongyuan Master, he might be taking the revenge on them!
Hongyuan Master was also discontent; a Core Formation Realm cultivator shouted at him. He was incredibly mad but couldn't say his aim was off, so he just sneered and didn't give any further explanations.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hao Ren flew higher and shot out three more golden lights at Hongyuan Master.
His realm was at mid-tier Gen-level, which was equivalent to top-tier Core Formation Realm. He used the fire-elemental nature essence within his body to use this dharma treasure efficiently.
"Junior, I'm going to get your treasure!" Hongyuan Master was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, so he was not at all scared of such attacks. He shattered the three golden lights barehandedly and went flying toward Hao Ren to grab the treasure.
A vague energy palm appeared over his real palm, trying to grab Hao Ren without touching him.
Hao Ren ditched the Sky-Turning Stamp and rode Little White away in a hurry.
"Hahaha!" Hongyuan Master held onto the Sky-Turning Stamp and shouted excitedly, "I'll take this marvelous treasure!"
When Mo Lianshan saw Hongyuan Master taking this treasure into his hands, he turned pale."Hongyuan Master! Give that dharma treasure to us. That is our grand uncle-master's treasure. How dare you try to keep it for yourself?!" Mo Lianshan's face turned stern and said with contempt.
The reason why he rushed and stated was that it would be very difficult to get it back afterward if Hongyuan Master kept it for himself!
This was the same logic as picking up money on the streets. If you don't say that the money is yours before another person picked it up, the other person might not be willing to give the money back since it would be hard to prove.
Hongyuan Master was delighted because he had just stolen an exquisite dharma treasure. However, when he heard Mo Lianshan's words and remembered how Mo Lianshan just shouted at him, his face immediately turned dark and responded, "Junior! Don't think you can be so greedy!"
It wasn't rare in the cultivation world for people to fight for a good dharma treasure. There were many instances where people killed for good dharma treasures.
Hongyuan Master had just seized the dharma treasure from Hao Ren, but Mo Lianshan immediately announced that it belonged to Sky Mountain Sect. How could that not make Hongyuan Master angry?
From Hongyuan Master's perspective, there was no way that the Sky-Turning Stamp was Sky Mountain Sect's treasure since Hao Ren had just used it smoothly.
Mo Lianshan's words sounded like they were trying to take advantage of him because of their background, using Sky Mountain Sect's name to bully him!
"Hongyuan! How dare you! Give the dharma treasure back!"
A loud roar sounded from Sixth Heaven.
Although Hongyuan Master was unwilling to do so, when he heard the sound, he clenched his teeth and threw the Sky-Turning Stamp toward Mo Lianshan.
He still didn't believe that dharma treasure belonged to Sky Mountain Sect and thought that Sky Mountain Sect cultivators became greedy when they saw the dharma treasure and made up lies to take it for themselves! This was obviously stealing from him directly!
When he got the Sky-Turning Stamp, he felt that this treasure had an abundance of nature essence and rare. However, since Sky Mountain Sect wanted it, he couldn't do anything about it!
However... Hongyuan Master was very unhappy about it!
Mo Lianshan caught the Sky-Turning Stamp and was forced to back up three steps before he could regain his stance. Although Hongyuan Master didn't use any nature essence in this throw, his throw was still mighty.
Mo Lianshan put the Sky-Turning Stamp in his storage bag carefully, and then he looked up to see Hao Ren and Hongyuan Master.
"Hmph! This Junior isn't a worthy opponent for me. How about this? I'll be the judge and see if any of you can beat him and save the girl.
Hongyuan Master put his hands behind him and suddenly flew to the side.
He wasn't in a very good mood, so he suddenly decided not to help Sky Mountain Sect. There might be a lot of elixir pill in the valley, but because of the bad attitude of Sky Mountain Sect, he wasn't sure if he could even take the stuff inside if he broke through.
If it were like that, then he would instead let them fight and just act as a support for Sky Mountain Sect.
If Hao Ren lost, he might receive some stuff from the valley. If Sky Mountain Sect lost, they might beg him to help them, and he would be able to negotiate when the time comes.
Mo Lianshan was rather furious at Hongyuan Master, so he secretly cursed at him for being sneaky. However, he couldn't do anything about it. Hongyuan Master was not a cultivator of Sky Mountain Sect, so he had no obligations of helping.
As for the Nascent Soul Realm elders of Sky Mountain Sect, they wouldn't come to Fifth Heaven usually since it might trigger commotion among the sects on Sixth Heaven.
Although this Hongyuan Master was sneaky, he still didn't dare to do anything to the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators.
During critical times, this Hongyuan Master could still help Sky Mountain Sect, especially since there was this array formation which needed a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to break.
"The juniors of Sky Mountain Sect, you don't have to worry. Since it's a fair fight, none of you should retreat, " Hongyuan Master said after he flew close to the valley.
When Hongyuan Master called them juniors, Mo Lianshan and the others were not happy. However, Hongyuan Master had helped them by blocking the retreating path for Hao Ren.
Hongyuan Master then looked at Hao Ren and said, "I'm very kind and generous, so I won't make it hard for you. Since fairness is important to me, I won't let them bully you with their numbers advantage."
Mo Lianshan secretly cursed at Hongyuan Master again because such an arrangement would give Sky Mountain Sect more trouble and increase the casualty count. It would be much easier if they all went together to attack that Ethereal Summit cultivator directly.
"Lingwu Master, what do you think of this arrangement?" Hongyuan Master used up his nature essence and shouted at the sky.
"Humph!" Only a snort sounded from Sixth Heaven.
Sky Mountain Sect was a large sect on Sixth Heaven. Now that they borrowed the power of Hongyuan Master to force the cultivator out from inside, they would lose face if they still bullied him by their numbers advantage.
"Stop the nonsense. I'll show him!" A green-robed cultivator who was riding on a level 3 snow lion charged out.
This green-robed cultivator looked rather peculiar. He had a black goatee and held a brown bamboo flute in his hand, and he seemed more awe-inspiring than Mo Lianshan.
The level 3 snow lion charged in front of Hao Ren, and the green-robed cultivator threw his bamboo flute out.
The bamboo flute expanded as it flew in the air and changed immediately into a large bamboo.
The Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect opened their eyes wide to see what power Hao Ren had. They had not been able to clearly see Hao Ren's real abilities when the latter appeared on the golden boat at the peak of the valley.
Now that Hao Ren showed himself again, they were able to see that he was around top-tier Core Formation Realm. However, he didn't look like a top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Usually, there wouldn't be such a young top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator. They knew that even those who had talent needed to cultivate until they were around 100 years old to reach this stage, and they could only look like they were in their mid-ages.
Whoosh!
Hao Ren's 320 sword energies suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
Hua, hua, hua, hua... Before that brown flute could even get close to Hao Ren, it had already been cut into 40 to 50 pieces!
The sword energies suddenly appeared again, merged, and charged toward the level 3 snow lion.
Bang! The level 3 snow lion was not a strong enough opponent against Hao Ren's sword energies. The snow lion was knocked back 100 meters, and the skinny green-robed cultivator lost one of his most precious dharma treasures. Just when he was about to use other techniques, Hao Ren's thin sword energies which had formed into a fist was already charging at his face!
Ding! A green pearl suddenly appeared in front of Hao Ren's sword energies, and all the sword energies slid off the surface of the pearl.
"Junior. Be easy on others, " Hongyuan Master's voice immediately sounded.
At this dangerous moment, he saved the green-robed cultivator of Sky Mountain Sect.
The green-robed cultivator who had just been saved by Hongyuan Master was so scared that he almost lost his soul. If Hongyuan Master had stopped Hao Ren one second later, his Yintang Acupoint would have exploded. Even if he didn't die from the attack, all his cultivation strength would be gone.
Hongyuan Master smiled; he showed off his power, got a favor, and watched a good show!
Then, he looked at Hao Ren again and thought, "This kid is quite impressive. I hope that he can injure a few more Core Formation Realm cultivators, draining more strength of Sky Mountain Sect."
"Let me do it!" A red-robed cultivator who was holding onto a red longsword and riding a level 4 snow lion suddenly charged at Hao Ren.
"Kill!"
The red sword and red-robed made this cultivator look like a burning fireball that was on top of the white snow lion.
Hao Ren looked at this opponent and shot out the 320 sword energies before suddenly flying back for 100 meters.
The sword energies split into two groups, and they spun like two boomerangs.
The red-robed cultivator let out flames that covered a large surface by using his unique skill!
However, those flames were not able to burn Hao Ren as the latter's sword energies had hit them from two sides.
Hao Ren was riding on Little White's back and had not moved an inch!
This strike hit both sides of the red-robed cultivator, and he fell from the sky.
"Junior Brother Liu..." Mo Lianshan rode his snow lion and rushed toward the valley to catch the red-robed cultivator who was half dead.
The snow lion that this red-robed cultivator was riding on was also knocked away by hundreds of meters!
In a blink of an eye, Hao Ren had damaged two Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect. Even if elixir pills of Sky Mountain Sect were used, these two would still be severely injured!
"This Core Formation Realm cultivator of Ethereal Summit didn't even do much!" the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators were secretly scared. There were quite a few Core Formation Realm cultivators in Sky Mountain Sect, but not many of them were this strong!
Although there was a difference in strength between those who were at low-tier and top-tier of Core Formation Realm, there were still other factors such as techniques, snow lions, and dharma treasures that may change the power level. That was why a top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator might not win against a low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Unless the Nascent Soul Realm and the Core Formation Realm were compared; the difference was much greater!
Hao Ren almost instantaneously beat two Core Formation Realm cultivators, and he looked very composed as if he were a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
"Come at me as a group of five!" Hao Ren said after a period of silence.
This sentence thoroughly agitated the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.
Mo Lianshan put the red-robed cultivator on the hill and rode his level 4 snow lion as he raised his black sword.
Four cultivators who were closest to Mo Lianshan also raised their dharma treasures.
Immediately, five cultivators and five snow lions surrounded Hao Ren in five directions.
Hao Ren felt that he was going to improve his realm from mid-tier Gen-level to top-tier Gen-level. However, he didn't breakthrough after training. This time, he found a bunch of people to practice with him!
"Little White!" Hao Ren shouted.
"Roar!" Little White raised its neck and roared.
The top-tier Core Formation Realm was close Gen-level, and mid-tier and low-tier Core Formation Realm were equivalent to Zhen-level.
It was rather easy to fight Zhen-level cultivators when Hao Ren was at Gen-level. Hao Ren could even fight Dui-level cultivators with his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, so he was not a bit scared when he had to face five Core Formation Realm cultivators!
"Let's see if I can break through to top-tier Gen-level!" Hao Ren raised his right hand, and the sword energies formed a straight line.
One-line Snake Array Formation! This array formation charged toward Mo Lianshan.
Mo Lianshan rushed to use his black sword to defend himself, but these sword energies slipped through his waist and hit his storage bag!
The Sky-Turning Stamp and other objects in the storage bag all fell out.
Hao Ren reached out his right hand, and the golden Sky-Turning Stamp flew back into Hao Ren's palm!
"How dare you!" Mo Lianshan's eyes opened wide.
Hongyuan Master squinted his eyes, pretending that he didn't see anything. This Sky-Turning Stamp was indeed a good dharma treasure, but it still wouldn't belong to him if he took it. This was none of his business!
