After the dead tree absorbed all the vitality of the old sword cultivator, Xue Kong was quick to put it away. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and picked up the storage bag that fell from the old sword cultivator.
Seeing this scene, the female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage not far away was slightly startled.
Xue Kong's reaction was too fast and smooth, and he had rich combat experience. He didn't look like a Qi Condensation cultivator at all, especially the dead tree that exuded an aura of annihilation. How could that be a spell that a Qi Condensation cultivator could cast?
Even she, a foundation-building cultivator, felt panicked.
The old swordsman died from this move.
Many Qi Condensation cultivators around were also watching this battle. When they saw Xue Kong kill the old sword cultivator, they couldn't help but feel shocked and surprised.
Condensing Qi to kill the Foundation Establishment easily?
It's unbelievable.
The burly man happened to see Xue Kong's face and quickly showed surprise: "It's him."
Xue Kong's indifferent face, calm yet powerful, was deeply imprinted in their hearts, and soon established an image of an untouchable, aloof and arrogant person in the minds of these Qi Condensation cultivators.
Che Jingshen couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He looked at Xue Kong and suddenly felt that he was a little strange. Was this still the cultivator who was chased and killed by the foundation-building cultivators at the gate of Guanglan City that day and was covered in blood?
Why was he able to kill the Foundation Establishment cultivator so easily with his Qi Condensation cultivation just now?
How is this done?
This was Xue Kong's secret. Che Jingshen tactfully did not ask any further questions. After all, who doesn't have a few secrets? If he asked all of them, he would definitely be disliked.
Che Jingshen gave a bitter laugh. "Back then at the gate of Guanglan City, he brought me the same doubts. Today, he has once again overturned my understanding."
"Master." Xue Kong's face was calm as he threw the storage bag in his hand to Che Jingshen.
Che Jingshen took it subconsciously, his face puzzled: "You are..."
"I assisted the Sect Master in killing this cultivator. This Rong Jie will naturally be distributed by the Sect Master." Xue Kong said calmly.
Che Jingshen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Xue San, you are indeed the person I have my eyes on. Since you are so loyal, I cannot treat you unfairly. Please accept this storage bag."
As he spoke, Che Jingshen threw the storage bag back to Xue Kong and said with a smile, "I will divide the remaining gains fairly between us, half each."
All of this, in Che Jingxin's mind, has made him regard Xue Kong not only as an elder of a peak, but also as a loyal peer.
Xue Kong did not refuse any more. After putting the storage bag into his arms, he turned around and stared at the female foundation-building cultivator: "Master, there are still two foundation-building cultivators left. While those three foundation-building cultivators are fighting the monster, let's fight quickly and end it."
"Only after we kill these two people one after another can we kill the monster and get the treasure safely."
Che Jingshen was immersed in the joy of having easily killed the old swordsman just now. Although he felt that Xue Kong was a little anxious, he did not think much about it and agreed immediately.
The two of them rushed towards the female cultivator who was building her foundation.
The Foundation Establishment female cultivator's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a cold voice, "It's not enough for these two to kill that old man, they're actually coming straight for me!"
She watched the whole process as the old swordsman was killed by Xue Kong and the other two.
Knowing that she was no match for these two people, she quickly retreated away. As she was going away, she suddenly saw Gu He's figure. She thought for a moment, then changed direction and flew towards Gu He.
She was unwilling to leave just like that.
Arriving near the ancient river, the female cultivator spoke, "Fellow Daoist, I'm sure you witnessed everything those two did. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to remain unscathed."
"Why don't you and I join forces to eliminate the two of them first, and then compete fairly for the purple magic weapon."
Gu He turned his head and looked at the female cultivator, without commenting on what she said. He knew very well in his heart that the real purpose of this female cultivator's behavior might not be to kill the two people, but to drag him into the water.
Divert the trouble away.
"What a vicious and scheming mind."
Gu He looked normal on the surface, but he was unhappy in his heart. He saw Che Jingshen and Xue Kong approaching here. Even if he broke up with this female cultivator at this moment, he would still have to face Che Jingshen and Xue Kong in the end.
"Xue San, my magic weapon was broken just now and I am at a loss as to my means. If these two join forces, I am afraid we will not be their match." Che Jingshen was a little worried.
Xue Kong reassured him and said, "These two have ulterior motives. Even if we leave now, they won't relent. There's no need to consider attacking them both at the same time. Sect Leader, just go ahead and fight."
Che Jingshen hesitated for a moment. He looked at Xue Kong deeply. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling in his heart. From beginning to end, it seemed that something was wrong.
They quickly approached the female cultivator, and Che Jingshen had no time to think.
Xue Kong slapped his storage bag, took the whisk in his hand, and waved it at the female cultivator from a distance.
The power of the magic weapon spread out and turned into an impact.
The female cultivator felt the impact, her brows suddenly turned cold, and she wondered, "Is this the only power?"
She felt the power of a Qi Condensation cultivator, but this alone was far from enough to injure a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"The old man was killed by this person's magic. His magic must be of great significance." The female cultivator pondered inwardly, raised her hand casually, and slapped the whisk three times in a row through the air.
Every time the whisk landed in the air, there was an impact and vibration. After three slaps, a roar suddenly sounded out of nowhere, destroying the impact of the whisk, and a breeze blew back between the two of them.
"Master, you should take the lead and I will assist you." Xue Kong said.
Che Jingshen hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of Xue Kong's Qi-condensing cultivation and his identity as the elder of Yunxia Peak, he nodded after a moment. He walked forward, activated his cultivation, and engaged in a fierce battle with the female cultivator.
However, the loss of the flowing golden armor shield caused Che Jingshen's combat effectiveness to drop slightly, and he was at a disadvantage for a time.
But Xue Kong had no intention of going up to help.
He turned to look at the cultivator who looked like Gu He, and the cultivator also looked at him. Their eyes met in mid-air. Xue Kong smiled slightly, walked forward, clasped his fists, and asked, "Are you Master Gu He?"
"Do you recognize me?" Gu He asked indifferently.
"Master Gu He, who is famous for his Demon Soul Pill, how could I not know him?" Xue Kong said with a smile.
"I see that you have a clear goal and seem to be coming straight for me. Killing that old man and that woman are probably just a cover-up, right?" Gu He's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he could see through Xue Kong's thoughts.
Xue Kong didn't answer, but laughed: "Look, what is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his storage bag, took out the feather he got from Dong Shouying, held it tightly in his hand, and showed it to Gu He.
Gu He's originally calm expression suddenly changed drastically after seeing the feather. He looked shocked: "You! Where did you get this feather?"
Xue Kong felt calm and thought to himself, "As expected, he's another confused person like Du Gong, bound by emotions."
"If you want to know the whereabouts of Dong Shouying, please hand over the method of refining the Demon Soul Pill." Xue Kong said lightly.
"You!" Master Gu He's eyes suddenly widened. When he heard his daughter Dong Shouying's name, he had no doubt at this moment that Xue Kong had met Dong Shouying and what had happened between them.
