Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 379: Chapter 376: Style Over Substance

Just as the two Demon Cultivators were about to attack together, intending to first take down the lead Dragon Cloud Sect Flying Ship,

"So that’s how it is..."

A clear, bright voice suddenly echoed from the surrounding void.

In that instant, the Demon Cultivator known as Hundred Strategies and his companion felt their hair stand on end!

In the very same moment,

a longsword as brilliant as a river of stars tore through the sky and descended.

Its dazzling radiance practically filled the entire sky before them!

Beneath that one sword strike,

the mere emanation of its aura

carried a boundless power, as if it could slice the heavens open and cleave mountains and rivers apart!

"Damn it!"

A tremendous sense of crisis enveloped his heart.

Hundred Strategies was terrified.

Not daring to be the slightest bit careless, he erupted with a monstrous demonic might. The terrifying Magical Power churned the surrounding void like a violent tide, making the entire sky seem to tremble violently!

But,

the sword strike came too fast!

Hundred Strategies only had time to deploy a black protective shield around himself before an unimaginable force struck them both!

BOOM! RUMBLE!!!

As a blinding light erupted,

an earth-shattering boom resounded throughout the world.

A white shockwave, like a tidal wave, swept out in all directions!

The very earth began to shake violently!

Mountains cracked,

and massive boulders and earth crumbled and collapsed!

At that same moment,

the Magical Power Shield that Hundred Strategies had hastily raised was ultimately no match for a Perfection Tier Two Skill.

The Shield was torn apart by the sword’s edge.

His body was slashed open, leaving a huge gash.

Blood splattered,

and his entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball!

With another series of rumbles,

several hundred yards away, mountain after mountain collapsed upon the land!

Shen Changchuan’s figure slowly materialized in the void.

’Fleeting Shadow.’

’Truly worthy of being a mid- or even high-level Tier Two Concealing Technique!’

’For the past three years,’

’in order to successfully master its Cultivation,’

’I spent a great deal of time specifically practicing many of the Concealing Breath Skill Techniques from the Sect’s Scripture Pavilion. I did this to accumulate Perfection Traits, thereby lowering the threshold for cultivating Fleeting Shadow.’

’Even so,’

’this Tier Two Concealing Technique’

’still consumed a great deal of my time!’

’It could be said to be one of the most difficult of all the Tier Two Magic I have ever cultivated!’

’Its difficulty was almost comparable to when I cultivated a Divine Power Technique back in the day!’

’Fortunately,’

’with the help of the progress bar panel,’

’I finally succeeded in its Cultivation.’

’And its effect,’

’was completely worthy of its difficulty!’

’I’ve used it twice.’

’Once against Xiong Banqing and his group,’

’and once against these two just now.’

’Even when I got within a hundred yards of a Demon Cultivator near the Soul Emergence Realm Fifth Layer, the enemy didn’t notice a thing!’

’Perhaps,’

’their carelessness was a factor.’

’But regardless,’

’it truly did fool their senses!’

’It wasn’t a waste of all my effort!’

’Combined with a Perfection Level Tier Two Magic, my attacks are instantaneous. Even a Cultivator at the Soul Emergence Sixth Layer could be severely wounded by me if they were caught off guard!’

’And this... this is the source of my confidence for this transport mission!’

The thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind.

But at the same time,

his actions didn’t slow in the slightest.

The moment he revealed himself,

without the slightest pause,

he took a single step forward.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed several hundred yards of empty space,

appearing above the two who had been blasted down to the earth as if by Instant Teleportation.

Without any visible movement,

his aura surged, rushing into the nine heavens and triggering a change in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power for dozens of yards around!

VMMMM!!!

An indescribable Sword Momentum soared into the sky.

Four Magical Power Longswords pierced through heaven and earth, enveloping the area.

Instant Shadow Kill Array!

In an instant,

countless strands of Sword Qi sliced through the void.

The air within the Magical Power Longswords wailed as if under an unbearable load, and the churning currents of air burst apart in a continuous series of POPS!

In less than a tenth of a breath,

innumerable streams of Sword Qi converged, striking and slicing the void thousands, even tens of thousands of times.

Space itself seemed to shatter, as if it had been ravaged millions of times!

This terrifying scene

lasted for several moments.

Only when the four longswords dispersed

did everything return to calm!

Below,

on the ground,

within the area covered by the Instant Shadow Kill Array,

everything in a radius of several hundred yards had been turned to dust, reduced to nothingness by the terrifying attack!

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

In the center of the massive crater,

only two mangled skeletons remained!

Their flesh and blood had been ground into oblivion.

Only their stark white bones were left,

and even those weren’t whole.

Their Storage Bags had also been destroyed, and the items within were annihilated in the spatial turbulence created by the bags’ destruction.

They were left literally penniless.

Shen Changchuan fell silent for a moment.

’This man,’

’was a notch weaker than that Demon Cultivator named Xiong Banqing who caused trouble at the Dragon Cloud Sect.’

’How did he dare to try and ambush me here?’

’Could it be that the news of me killing Xiong Banqing never got out?’

’That seems quite possible!’

’Whatever.’

’No point dwelling on it.’

Shen Changchuan hovered in mid-air.

He casually tossed down two scorching Fireballs.

He watched as the burning flames incinerated the remaining bones to ash.

"Too clever by half with all those schemes..."

After a long silence,

gazing at the burnt-out remains,

Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly.

Just now,

he had heard the man speak.

The man’s nickname was Hundred Strategies.

It seemed he was somewhat famous.

His plan was also very intricate.

If it had succeeded,

it would have killed three birds with one stone.

He would have gained immense benefits.

But unfortunately,

his strength was insufficient.

In the end, all his scheming came to nothing.

"All flash and no substance."

Shen Changchuan muttered quietly,

Then,

he turned and left.

...

High in the sky,

the Black Death Birds, which had been gathering like mountains and seas to suicidally charge the three Flying Ships,

faltered the moment the one called Hundred Strategies died.

The method used to control them seemed to have failed.

Faced with terrifying death,

they finally scattered in a chaotic swarm.

The crisis was averted.

Many people were still shaken.

The sudden attack had clearly frightened them.

That relentless, fearless charge of Demon Beasts would make any Cultivator in the Qi Introduction Realm feel utterly powerless!

Not to mention the Soul Emergence battle that followed.

The massive explosions and the overwhelming pressure that swept over them

made everyone feel as if they were facing a tsunami, completely robbing them of the will to resist!

Among them,

not far away,

the Song Family Ancestor also stared at Shen Changchuan for a few moments, completely stunned.

As a Soul Emergence Realm expert himself, he had obviously perceived more.

Just now, when Shen Changchuan used the Instant Shadow Kill Array to slay his enemies,

the Sword Momentum that had soared into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth,

had made him, though he was some distance away, feel as if there were sharp spikes on his back—as if a sword was about to strike him down at any moment!

That feeling,

was too terrifying!

He felt completely powerless to resist!

It was as if the other party could take his life

with a mere flick of a finger!

’Worthy of being the number one Demon of the younger generation in the Tian Nan Domain! Such methods are truly shocking!’

As for the thoughts of the surrounding crowd,

Shen Changchuan had no mind to pay them any attention.

He waved a hand,

and his clear voice rang out over the three Flying Ships.

"Pick up the pace! We need to reach Barbaric City before nightfall!"
