The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...
"Old man, don't be so stubborn. Everyone in the sect knows your cultivation level. Don't think you can rise to the top just because you picked up a high-level female cultivator. Do you even have the life to enjoy it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cyan flying sword soared into the air again, growing larger as it faced the wind, its cyan light flashing, pointing directly at Li Sisui's face. The latter's expression did not change much, because he knew that he had the protagonist's halo, and even the Wufa Daoren of the Tianmen Sect could not do anything to him, let alone this unknown cat and dog in front of him. However, it was always so exciting that ordinary people could not bear it!
Li Sisui clutched his pounding heart, his face bitter. He secretly vowed that once he had some free time, he would definitely study cultivation matters properly. Although he knew he wouldn't be killed, his heart couldn't handle such excitement every time. After all, riding a roller coaster occasionally was exciting, but riding it every day would make him want to vomit.
Seeing that Li Sisui didn't care at all, which was very different from his grandmaster's usual timid and life-saving behavior, the young man had doubts but didn't want to think about it. He could easily crush a third-level Divine Illumination cultivator, so why was he talking so much nonsense? Anyway, he had already killed two scavengers, so killing one more wouldn't be a big deal.
It's common for scavengers to steal from each other, so the young man had no trouble killing them. Besides, he had already discovered the formation leading down the mountain. However, by the time he got there, the two scavengers had already gotten ahead of him. But as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
The young man originally intended to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but after thinking about his grandmaster's cultivation level, he immediately decided to launch a surprise attack. He was certain that his grandmaster would be killed by the two scavengers, and he would then have to fight two against one. Although the two scavengers were both below him in cultivation, there were too many variables if they possessed some heaven-defying magical artifact.
On the contrary, with his grandmaster's cultivation level, if she fell into his hands, wouldn't she be at his mercy? No matter what, she couldn't escape his grasp. At that time, the female cultivator from the high street would be easy to capture. Moreover, based on his understanding of his grandmaster, she might even be offered up with both hands!
Just to be on the safe side, the young man launched a surprise attack, killing the two scavengers with lightning speed. He then took Li Sisui to a secluded place, thinking it wouldn't be too late to discuss the matter of the high-level female cultivator. Who would have thought that his grandmaster uncle seemed to have become a different person, indifferent to life and death, with an attitude of "whatever!"
Li Sisui's unusual behavior only strengthened the young man's resolve to kill. Originally, he was unwilling to do such a thing as betraying his master and ancestors. If he were discovered by others, he would never be able to join a sect again and would only be able to become a rogue cultivator. Fortunately, his cultivation was about to break through and he would be leaving Wulipo, so he didn't care anymore. Moreover, the reason he stopped here was because he thought it was a desolate and deserted place, so even if he made a move, no one would find out!
"Since that's the case, then die! I will eradicate this thousand-year-old cancer of the Falling Cloud Sect!" The young man's expression hardened, and the enormous flying sword shone even brighter with azure light. He then shouted:
"I'll call you Grandmaster Uncle one last time. I'll leave the high-level female cultivators to my own enjoyment. I just have a bold idea, hehe. Farewell!"
As he spoke, his words became increasingly frivolous. Immediately afterward, the cyan giant sword hurtled towards Li Sisui's face. Although he knew he had the protagonist's halo, he still couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and shout that he had to understand the cultivation method as soon as possible and quickly gain the ability to protect himself. This protagonist's halo could only be used as a last resort, not like now, where he was always playing with his heart in fear!
Just as the giant sword was hurtling towards his face, a gust of wind brushed past Li Sisui's ear, and a red streak swept past his back, directly colliding with the cyan giant sword that was inches away. The young man was struck as if by lightning and had no time to react. The cyan giant sword was torn to shreds by the red streak, and then, without slowing down, it headed straight for the young man's face!
The young man looked horrified, but he couldn't move at all, as if he was locked in place by the red ribbon. Then, his head exploded like a watermelon hitting the ground, bursting out a cloud of blood mist. The red ribbon pierced right through him, and the young man who had been so arrogant just moments before died!
"Cough, cough, good-for-nothing!"
Leng Rushuang's face was as cold as winter. She spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Her sharp eyes swept over Li Sisui before fixing on the young man's headless corpse. With a slight bend of her fingers, the young man's storage ring flew towards Leng Rushuang as if summoned. Leng Rushuang then casually squeezed it, and the storage ring shattered, with all the contents falling out!
Leng Rushuang glanced at the items, then, with an expression of rummaging through a garbage dump, she found a few pills and swallowed them all. Afterward, she began to sit cross-legged with her eyes closed in meditation. Li Sisui looked at Leng Rushuang, who had just woken up, with a helpless expression. He didn't know if she was referring to the young man or cursing him when she called him a "waste".
Although the young man was meticulous, he never imagined that the high-level female cultivator who fell from the mountain-descending formation would risk a decline in her cultivation to kill him in one blow. Clearly, his frivolous words had crossed Leng Rushuang's bottom line. After all, Leng Rushuang was a whole realm higher than the young man. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and besides, the camel is not dead yet. How could he allow her to desecrate him so wantonly?
"You talk too much, you deserve it!"
Li Sisui stared at the young man's headless corpse and muttered to himself. Leng Rushuang was still sitting cross-legged, seemingly refining those few pills. With nothing else to do, Li Sisui began to rummage through the things the young man had emptied from his storage ring. Various magical artifacts, materials, bottles, and jars—none of them were familiar to him. It seemed that he still had a long way to go in his cultivation journey…
Leng Rushuang sat in meditation with her eyes closed, her expression solemn, with occasional flashes of pain. Clearly, forcibly urging her cultivation to kill the young man had made her already limited situation even worse. What surprised her even more was that she didn't expect that just the moment she sneaked into Wulipo, her cultivation would be drained by more than two levels, causing her to drop from the ninth level of the Transformation Realm to the seventh level!
Previously, Leng Rushuang was in Sage Hill, and her body had become accustomed to the distribution of spiritual energy there. Her absorption rate was within her body's tolerance range, and even if her cultivation was damaged, she could recover it through cultivation. Now, she suddenly arrived at Wulipo, where the spiritual energy was thin, which instantly disrupted her original cultivation habits!
In addition, Wulipo has a suppressive effect on high-level cultivators. One aspect of this effect is the plundering of the cultivation of high-level cultivators. It is somewhat like the conservation of energy. High-level cultivators are like a red-hot iron, while Wulipo is a basin of cold water. When the iron is dropped into the basin of cold water, the heat will inevitably be absorbed by the cold water until a certain state of energy conservation is reached before it stops.
The reason why Leng Rushuang fainted instantly was mainly because the absorption rate of high-level cultivators' cultivation at Wulipo was too abnormal. It instantly drained two layers of Leng Rushuang's cultivation. This is like donating blood. Drawing 400 milliliters at a time is not harmful to the body, but if you are suddenly given 800 or 1000 milliliters, who can stand it?
Leng Rushuang's angry attack just now directly consumed more than half of her cultivation. The most crucial point is that Leng Rushuang cannot replenish her cultivation through cultivation in Wulipo. Every bit she uses is a bit less until Leng Rushuang's cultivation drops below the suppression level of Wulipo!
Leng Rushuang couldn't help but doubt her life. Had she acted impulsively? Sure enough, her luck was as bad as ever. Now, she was being dragged down by this good-for-nothing. Hope was fading, and her life felt bleak. Sigh, she was exhausted...
