Chapter 108 A Close Call (Bonus Chapter 3)

Although Wang Yu was on the run, he knew that his speed was a weakness and there was no way to make up for it in the short term, so he would be caught up sooner or later.

Therefore, he paid close attention to the Foundation Establishment cultivators chasing after him.

This is related to whether he can leave or not.

The reason for fleeing towards Spider Mountain was twofold: it was closer, and if they were no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could use the protective formation of Spider Mountain to save their lives. At that time, they could summon the late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator in light gauze, and the crisis would be resolved.

However, doing so might not guarantee the preservation of the dragon's inner core.

"Fight first, then run if you can't win."

"Delay it as long as possible. This person has just gone through a major battle, and his true essence reserves are definitely not enough. He has also almost used up all his consumables such as talismans."

The facts were exactly as Wang Yu had imagined, and even more favorable to him.

The Black Scale Shield was used to deal with the energy spears that were shot from behind from time to time, cleverly using the shockwaves to increase speed by three times.

Even a high-grade magic weapon couldn't withstand several attacks from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The distance is constantly shrinking.

After dragging on for half an hour, it finally couldn't hold on any longer. The Black Scale Shield, like a twisted and deformed piece of scrap iron, was completely destroyed during one of its defensive maneuvers.

Wang Yu wasn't bothered. He wouldn't even buy such things; they were all spoils of war, so it didn't matter if they broke.

soon.

In the next attack, Wang Yu sheathed his flying sword and fell from mid-air into the dense forest, finally relieving his pursuers.

He wiped the sweat from his face and rushed inside.

Once inside the woods, the dense canopy blocked out the sunlight, leaving only dappled light filtering through, and Wang Yu's figure had already disappeared.

"Hmph, trying to be clever? Do you even know the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense..."

He suddenly stopped talking because he couldn't sense Wang Yu's presence at all, and his mental state fluctuated, leaving a momentary opening.

Just then, terrifying cold flames attacked from above, causing the air temperature to drop rapidly, while the core temperature remained strangely high.

Create a low-temperature environment suitable for their own combat.

The pursuer subconsciously created a small patch of true qi defense above his head, a sign that his true qi was insufficient.

After a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they will develop two kinds of instinctive supernatural abilities, or characteristics, similar to the limbs that humans are born with, which are like instincts.

One of them is physical flight.

Secondly, after spiritual energy transforms into true essence, it gains the instinct of "True Qi Protection," which can be condensed with a thought, and can even penetrate into the instinct, allowing it to be used before the mind can control it.

This is the wonder of Foundation Establishment, providing great security when facing various sneak attacks.

In contrast, the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages also have different extraordinary features, much like different stages of life evolution, bringing new talents, new organs, and so on.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for a Qi Refining cultivator to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, when one side falls to its lowest point and the other is at its peak, possessing considerable strength and methods that transcend realms, one can challenge the opponent beyond their level and win the battle.

It doesn't seem that difficult?

From within the blue flames, a dark blue arm suddenly emerged, its fierce punch shattering the protective aura and striking the man's jaw.

"Click—"

The sound of bones dislocating was clearly audible, and the body flew out like a rag doll, carving long furrows in the ground before finally crashing into an ancient tree and coming to a stop.

He kept coughing up blood.

"Who...who are you?!"

Clearly, he was stunned by Wang Yu's divine power; he had never seen a Qi Refining cultivator with such strength.

However, Wang Yu did not respond to him.

He used the Illusionary Step to create ten illusory bodies that attacked from different angles. He also brandished his spear again, making a hand seal with his other hand. Three breaths later, a circle of golden light emanated from him.

Black armor instantly appeared on Wang Yu's body, completely covering him.

With a wave of his hand.

The Ice Coffin Spell and the modified Ice Sword Technique were used simultaneously, and thick ice shards fell from the sky like cages, tilted at a slight angle.

They then lifted the man up.

With a powerful stomp of his toes, cracks appeared in the area within several meters. In the instant he leaped into the air, he twisted his waist and hips, delivering a perfectly executed flying kick that nearly cleaved his enemy in two.

As the ice shards shattered, the younger brother, his upper body leaning backward at an oddly obtuse angle, collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

The breath of life is fading away.

Her eyes, filled with resentment, stared at Wang Yu with extreme unwillingness, but she could no longer say anything.

In the silence, he breathed his last.

"Swallow the soul!"

Without hesitation, Wang Yu immediately cast the spell. He did not have the means to kill souls for the time being, but the Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique could directly devour the Yin Souls.

This recently deceased person is naturally also within the scope of Soul Devouring.

The Black Fiend Armor emitted long black smoke snakes that reached into the target's body and extracted a semi-transparent Foundation Establishment soul, whose soul was slowly emitting some grayish-white light spots.

Without the help of the earth's yin energy, it will dissipate in no time.

He has no chance.

Ignoring the soul's vicious expression, he directly pulled it into the Black Fiend Armor. Apart from the original Deacon Xu, another venomous face appeared on the armor.

The power of this extraordinary technique immediately increased significantly.

"Demonic arts and strange techniques, indeed evil."

As for the aftereffects of the Soul Devouring in the future, since we are eating very little now, the impact is almost negligible; we just need to control the quantity.

If controlled well, it can even be used to hone one's spiritual sense.

This time it was a close call, but he managed to take the corpse and the storage bag with him. Wang Yu continued towards Spider Mountain, this time pushing the Night Concealment Spell to its limit.

The Five Yin Peak steward suffered a backlash and could not possibly survive the revenge of that elder brother, who was on the verge of suffocation at the time.

After escaping the illusion, I was gasping for air and couldn't see him at all.

He's not worried about having a lot of debt; he doesn't believe he can lock down enemies from thin air.

However, this trip was rewarding.

What is lost on one front is gained on another. The only slightly troublesome thing is that the third-tier dragon inner core is more suitable for use as a substitute for a Core Formation spiritual object when a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator breaks through to the Core Formation stage.

It's unknown what kind of cultivation technique that person intended to practice by directly consuming the inner core. It's a pity they didn't get the storage bag for the Five Yin Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator; there must have been some fortuitous opportunity or secret within it.

On the way back, Wang Yu ran at full speed.

It was only at sunset that they barely made it to Spider Mountain. They changed back into the outer disciple's attire, calmly verified their identity with their tokens, and did not attract anyone's attention.

Only after entering the stone house at the edge of the spirit field and setting up the Blood Mist Concealing Spirit Array did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Light a calming incense stick, then take a bath and change clothes.

He sat cross-legged on the futon and rubbed his hands together.

"Let me see how much a rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage is worth!"

"Eight thousand spirit stones? That's a bit low. It's not even as good as a wealthy Qi Refining cultivator."

The second-tier low-grade magic weapon, the Hundred-Strike Spear, is of very average quality.

It is almost the lowest level among the second-tier low-grade items. Its effect is to inject spiritual power and split it into a hundred energy spears for attack.

There were no talismans, but several bottles of pills and some miscellaneous items.

However, to Wang Yu's surprise, there were actually cultivation techniques, spells, and secret arts inside.

I'd like to ask for your opinion: should it be sent out at a fixed time in the morning, or split into morning, noon, or noon and evening sessions? Or should it be sent out all at once?

Tell me about it.
