Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Fierce Battle

SWISH! SWISH!

Although the Golden Core Late Stage cultivator was horrified, he didn’t panic. He moved with incredible speed, forming a Technique with his hands. In the blink of an eye, the light of five Defense Magic spells appeared around him.

The five Defense Magic spells were the Golden Bell Technique, Water Shield Technique, Earth Wall Technique, Fire Shield Technique, and Vine Technique, corresponding perfectly to the Five Elements. Each one was Upper Grade, and when used together, they instantly created a synergistic, stacking effect that actually managed to block the Sword Light.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

But the Sword Array was no pushover. It pressed relentlessly inward, and the defensive measures began to shatter one after another. The Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator kept casting Defense Magic. Though he could hold on for a short time, his room to maneuver was shrinking fast.

"Spare my life, Fellow Daoist! We can talk this through! I have everything you could want; I can give it all to you. Besides, I’m a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. Killing me won’t do you any good."

"What’s more, many of my fellow disciples are nearby. They’ll be here to support me any second! Some of them are even at the Golden Core Peak, with Combat Power far greater than mine. If you face them, you won’t stand a chance..."

The Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator was terrified. He desperately cast his Magic while hurriedly sending out a plea for peace with his Divine Thought.

Zhang Chi didn’t speak, remaining hidden in the shadows. He couldn’t help but feel a little surprised by the sight. ’As expected of a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator from the Ten Thousand Laws Sect,’ he thought. ’He’s achieved true mastery with these spells.’

PTHOO!

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of pale golden Essence Blood. The Mighty Power of his Flying Swords surged in an instant.

At the same time, he took out the Five Evils Bottle and released a massive amount of Evil Qi, completely flooding the space around his opponent.

Normally, this Evil Qi wouldn’t be a threat to a Golden Core Cultivator, but the current situation was clearly an exception.

This was especially true for the Corpse Evil within the Evil Qi, which he had long since replaced with Celestial Corpse Evil. Its corrosive effect was extremely potent.

And so, it wasn’t long before his opponent could no longer hold out. The protective light from his Defense Magic was completely broken through.

"Damn you! If you won’t let me live, then let’s perish together!"

The Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator was finally driven to despair, which in turn filled him with boundless rage. He immediately summoned a radiant, perfectly round Middle Grade Golden Core, preparing to fight Zhang Chi to the death.

SWISH!

But at that exact moment, the Sword Array suddenly vanished. The seven Magical Treasure Flying Swords merged into one and flashed forward. A brilliant ray of Sword Light instantly pierced the cultivator’s brow, killing him on the spot.

Zhang Chi waved his hand, collecting the man’s Golden Core and corpse.

BOOM!

The next moment, a tremendous explosion rang out. Zhang Chi’s Array instantly shattered, and another middle-aged-looking Golden Core Late Stage cultivator flew menacingly out of the cave passage.

The Array had been blasted apart by a single Fire Technique from this very cultivator.

"Where did you come from, you villain? Die!"

Not only that, but the Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator roared in fury and, in the blink of an eye, cast another Fire Element Technique.

The surrounding temperature shot up as five baring-fanged, claw-brandishing Fire Dragons appeared in the sky, encircling Zhang Chi.

Each Fire Dragon’s destructive power was comparable to a Low Grade Magical Treasure, yet they were merely Magic.

’This Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator is impressive. He broke through my Array so quickly. And this technique he’s showing now... is this the legendary ’magic forming an array’?’

Zhang Chi was secretly astonished. He immediately waved his hand, urging his Flying Swords forward. They transformed into a storm of Sword Light that instantly shredded the Fire Dragons.

Even so, the Sword Light dimmed, its Mighty Power greatly diminished.

And this was only because he had already activated his strongest state, even going so far as to use his Lifebound Essence Blood.

To kill the previous enemy and now to block this Magic, he had used Ten Thousand Swords Unite, an ultimate killing move from his Star Sword Control Technique.

Of course, with only seven Flying Swords, he was far from being able to unleash the full Mighty Power of this move.

But its destructive power was still not something an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

"You cur! You have some skill, but unfortunately, your Realm is too low. You also killed my fellow disciple, so today, you must die!"

The Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator roared in anger.

In truth, he was every bit as astonished as Zhang Chi.

He had heard the commotion when his fellow disciple was attacked, and had immediately flown over at full speed.

But unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

Now, the fact that his opponent had used Sword Light to block his Magic made him extremely wary.

After all, as its name implied, the Ten Thousand Laws Sect’s greatest strength was Magic. Most of its cultivators couldn’t even be bothered with Refining Magical Treasures, relying entirely on Magic to fight their enemies.

And this move of his, the Five Dragons Divine Fire Technique, was his signature skill, unrivaled among those of the Same Tier.

But now, his opponent, a mere Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, had met the attack head-on. It was simply unbelievable.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

As he spoke, he immediately continued to cast all sorts of powerful Magic. In an instant, the sky filled with the light of spells, as if his Magical Power was endless and he needed no preparation to cast them.

SWISH! SWISH!

Zhang Chi, for his part, pushed his Sword Control Technique to its limits. His seven Flying Swords moved like seven dragons of Sword Light, sometimes merging, sometimes separating, as they clashed with his opponent. For a time, the two were locked in a dead heat.

The nearby waterfall was blasted apart, and the water flowing close by was instantly vaporized. Even the new Array that the Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator had just placed at the cave entrance was shattered by the aftershocks of the battle.

Fortunately, neither Zhang Chi nor the Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivator wanted to destroy the cave and the ruins within. So, while still fighting, they both tacitly flew far away, high into the sky.

"What’s going on? Is someone here to rescue us?"

"No, that’s not right. I already sent a secret message to Lu Daoyi, but he’s a Nascent Soul Powerhouse. This person is only at the Golden Core Middle Stage."

At this moment, the members of the Song Family deep within the cavern also heard the commotion and were all astonished.

They immediately flew to the cave entrance and watched the fierce battle high in the sky, discussing it amongst themselves.

Since Zhang Chi was now wearing a Conical Hat and a mask, and had also changed his Magic Robe and Cultivation Technique, they had no idea that the newcomer was him.

"No matter who it is, this is a golden opportunity for us. Let’s go! We have to escape from here immediately!"

"But we’re all under a Blood Curse! What if they kill us with it for trying to escape?"

"Don’t worry. The cultivator who placed the Blood Curse on us has gone out. The two who remained behind can’t kill us directly with it. As long as we find a Nascent Soul Powerhouse before the remaining cultivators activate the Blood Curse, we can have it removed!"

"That’s right! We’ll tell the major Immortal Sects the secret of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect’s re-emergence. They will definitely help us."

The Song Family cultivators quickly discussed their plan, then immediately summoned a Magical Treasure Flying Boat, intending to seize the opportunity to escape into the distance.

As for the life or death of the mysterious cultivator, they couldn’t be bothered to care. They even hoped both sides would destroy each other, allowing them to reap the rewards.

ROAR!

But unfortunately, at that very moment, a sudden roar echoed out. A green-faced, tusked Corpse Puppet suddenly appeared. Wreathed in black Corpse Evil, it pounced on them as fast as a phantom.

This was none other than Corpse Puppet No. 1, which Zhang Chi had positioned in ambush nearby long ago.

Corpse Puppet No. 1 wouldn’t be very effective against the Ten Thousand Laws Sect cultivators, but it was more than enough to deal with the Song Family.

The Corpse Puppet’s attack was like a tiger pouncing on a flock of sheep. In an instant, it killed more than a dozen core members of the Song Family.

"Damn it, stop!"

"Attack together! Kill this Corpse Puppet!"

Seeing this, the Song Family’s Golden Core cultivators’ eyes were practically splitting with rage, and they all attacked.

"It’s him..."

But among them, upon seeing the Corpse Puppet, Song Youdao couldn’t help but start trembling for some unknown reason.
