Chapter 252: Chapter 245: Not So Fast—!!

Xuanyuan: ’Hmm??? Someone with Su Ling’er’s level of talent can actually become the sect’s Holy Daughter?’

Looking at the person across from him, Lin Qingfeng seemed to realize something. He paused. ’Wait! This is a Core Formation Cultivator, and a humanoid Core Formation Cultivator NPC at that! Okay, I’ve confirmed my next line!!!’

"They say you’re the strongest person below the Nascent Soul realm, but in my eyes, you’re just another Core Formation Cultivator."

Xuanyuan: ’Huh? Since when am I the strongest person below the Nascent Soul realm? I had no idea.’

Su Ling’er: ’Since when was the Sect Leader the strongest person below the Nascent Soul realm? When did this happen?’

"So, how about you hand over your life, you old Daoist hack?" Xuanyuan’s expression changed. "Fellow Daoist, don’t make a fatal mistake! I am on the righteous path... Ugh!"

Lin Qingfeng’s figure instantly vanished from before him. The next second, the sole of a foot filled his vision, expanding infinitely as it flew toward his face!

"BANG—!!!"

"Did I say you could speak?!" With a tremendous crash, the foot viciously kicked him in the face! His dignified air as an enlightened master and his transcendent, immortal-like bearing were completely shattered by this single kick.

His entire body was sent flying!

"The righteous path? You’re on the righteous path? You killed our people, so does that make us the villains on the crooked path? You’re slandering a righteous and profound sect like us, is that it?!"

Lin Qingfeng’s figure stuck to him like a shadow, appearing in his backward trajectory and lashing out with another whip kick to his waist!

"BOOM!"

Xuanyuan was forcefully kicked high into the air. He had intended to use the momentum to flee.

But!

"Get down there!" Shi Gandang’s massive warhammer came crashing down on his back with the force of a collapsing mountain!

"BOOM—!!!"

Xuanyuan was brutally slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater!

He struggled to climb out of the pit, spitting up blood, when he heard a lazy voice from above.

"Sigh, why struggle...? Just lie still... isn’t that nice...? Look, this pit isn’t too big or too small... It’s the perfect size for sleeping..." Wang Xian yawned, lying in his Grievance Beast sleeping bag.

A wave of indolence that sapped all will to fight washed over Xuanyuan.

At the same time, dozens of tough vines burst from the earth, binding him tightly within the massive crater. Strange flowers even bloomed upon the vines.

Shen Nong’s figure flashed past the edge of the crater.

But all of this was merely a prelude.

"You’ve gone too far!" A roar of fury erupted from Xuanyuan in the crater. He was, after all, also at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, the Sect Leader of Qingxu Temple! How could he suffer such a profound humiliation!

He bit his tongue hard. The sharp pain jolted his soul, forcibly dispelling the feeling of lethargy. "Qingxu Secret Skill: Sword Heart Clarity!"

VMMMM—!

A pure, sharp Sword Intent erupted from within him! The vines binding him were instantly shredded to pieces by the Sword Qi!

His entire being transformed into a streak of sword light and shot into the sky, his eyes filled with grim determination and madness. "Today, either you die, or I do! For the lineage of Qingxu Temple, I will fight you to the death!"

His voice was stern and his expression severe, posturing as if he would take everyone down with him. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a Golden Core!

The Golden Core radiated a brilliant light as abstruse runes swirled across its surface. The Spiritual Qi in the entire canyon grew violent at this moment!

"He’s going to self-destruct his Golden Core!" Lu Wu exclaimed. Shi Gandang and the others immediately grew solemn, raising their defenses.

Although not all cultivators at the Great Perfection of Core Formation were equal, the self-destruction of one was still enough to make them take it seriously!

Xuanyuan was seen forming hand seals and muttering an incantation. The aura of the Golden Core climbed to its absolute peak!

"With my broken body, I shall defend my lineage! Everyone, I’ll see you on the Yellow Springs Road!" he roared, thrusting the Golden Core forward with all his might!

But at the very instant the Golden Core left his hand, he himself shot off in the opposite direction at an even greater speed, fleeing for his life without a backward glance!

He never intended to fight to the death! His previous passionate speech and his posture of mutual destruction were all just an act to cover his escape!

That Golden Core, which seemed about to self-destruct, was merely a disguise. It was a one-time-use offensive magical treasure he had activated with a Secret Technique!

However, just as he thought he was about to escape to safety, a figure appeared on his escape route, moving even faster than he was.

It was Lin Qingfeng.

"What’s the rush? I already asked you to hand over your life. Why are you in such a hurry to run away?"

Xuanyuan was so terrified his soul nearly fled his body. He tried to change direction without a second thought, but it was too late.

WHOOM—! A massive black coffin materialized before him, blocking his path. In the distance, Ji was watching him with a sorrowful expression.

"Fellow Daoist, I see by your face that you are marked for a bloody calamity today. Why not enter my coffin? I can perform a ritual for you to ensure a peaceful passing."

"Get lost!" Xuanyuan roared, slapping a palm at the black coffin. He sent it flying and continued to flee!

But at that moment, the ’Golden Core’ behind him underwent a strange transformation. The Golden Core, which was on the verge of exploding, was suddenly snatched by a claw.

It was Wang Xian’s Grievance Beast. It rubbed its sleepy eyes, opened its mouth wide, yawned, and then... GULP. It swallowed the magical treasure ’Golden Core’ in one bite, as if it were a candy bean.

"Buuurp~" The Grievance Beast let out a satisfied burp, lazily rolled over, and went back to sleep.

And in the instant Xuanyuan’s attention was diverted, Lin Qingfeng had appeared behind him.
