16: Golden Thunder Shines on the World

"Found it!"

Facing the encirclement of these Robber Cultivators, Zhang Daobai quickly found a suitable battlefield.

After finding his target, Zhang Daobai immediately sped up and rushed towards the target location.

Seeing this, the surrounding Robber Cultivators thought Zhang Daobai wanted to escape and couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

"Pretty boy, you've run out of steam! Taste your grandpa's Death One-Knife Slash!"

Seeing this, One-Knife Wang, who was closely following behind, had his spiritual energy suddenly explode, lifting the large blade in his hand to slash at Zhang Daobai.

"Since you're looking for death, I'll fulfill your wish first!"

Seeing this, killing intent was revealed in Zhang Daobai's eyes. A flash of Golden Thunder flickered, and his figure instantly appeared behind One-Knife Wang.

"How is that possible!?"

"What kind of speed is this!?"

"Damn! This kid was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! He's a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator!"

As Zhang Daobai began to move, the aura on his body was suddenly exposed.

Seeing this, the surrounding Robber Cultivators' eyes widened in horror.

"Die!"

Zhang Daobai ignored the surrounding Robber Cultivators; his eyes were only on One-Knife Wang in front of him.

"Wait!"

One-Knife Wang, who was laughing wildly just a moment ago, saw his smile instantly vanish upon feeling the intense, fatal sense of crisis coming from behind. He hurriedly tried to beg for mercy in terror.

But Zhang Daobai didn't give him any chance to beg for mercy. The qingfeng sword in his hand, carrying golden lightning, instantly swept across his neck.

"Splurt!"

A flash of golden light appeared, and One-Knife Wang's head, wearing a terrified expression, fell from his neck as a pillar of blood erupted from it.

"Is this what it feels like to kill someone?"

Watching a life fade away before him, Zhang Daobai didn't feel disgusted or afraid; instead, he felt a sense of release and pleasure.

"Little sister, didn't you have something good-looking to show me? I'm here!"

Zhang Daobai didn't daze for long. The next second, he turned his gaze and targeted a female Cultivator in red who was closest to him.

"Spare me!"

The Red-clothed Female Cultivator's cultivation was only at the Late stage of Qi Refining. She knew very well she was no match for Zhang Daobai, so she hurriedly begged for mercy with tears in her eyes.

But Zhang Daobai didn't respond to her. With a flash of golden light, a hideous wound appeared on the Red-clothed Female Cultivator's neck.

"Run! This kid is a Killing Star!"

"Run for what! Wealth is found in danger. This kid is alone. Are we still afraid of him if we attack together?"

"Exactly! He's just one person. Once his spiritual energy is exhausted, won't he be at our mercy!"

"The Cultivation Technique and Movement Technique he practices are definitely not simple. They're at least Xuan Grade or above. If we take him down, we'll be rich!"

Facing Zhang Daobai's counter-kill, some fled in terror, while others became increasingly greedy.

The Dao of immortal cultivation is inherently a Heaven-Defying act. For people like them with lowly backgrounds and ordinary talent, if they didn't seize the chance to become stronger, only a hopeless future in cultivation awaited them!

Hearing the incitement of those around them, many Robber Cultivators who were prepared to flee stopped in their tracks. Greed gradually triumphed over reason.

"Let's go together!"

"Don't hold back! Kill him first, then divide the spoils!"

As the first person rushed towards Zhang Daobai, the surrounding Robber Cultivators who stayed behind began to act one after another, surrounding and attacking Zhang Daobai.

For a moment, sabers, spears, swords, halberds, poisonous smoke, poisonous needles, fireballs, water arrows... all sorts of attacks overwhelmed Zhang Daobai.

Facing so many attacks, Zhang Daobai didn't dare to take them head-on and quickly performed Thunderous Instant Flash to dodge these attacks.

However, Zhang Daobai wasn't someone who only knew how to dodge. Every time he teleported, he would land near a Robber Cultivator.

Regardless of whether he killed them or not, he only struck once. After one sword strike, he would teleport away again, like an assassin.

With a cultivation of Seventh-Turn Qi Refining Perfection, plus a Minor Achievement in a Xuan Grade top grade Sword Technique, and the assistance of a High Grade Magical Artifact, basically none of these Robber Cultivators could withstand a single strike from Zhang Daobai.

As heads flew one by one, the spraying blood gathered into a bloody mist on the battlefield.

The Robber Cultivators, whose consciousness had been occupied by greed, gradually regained their reason in fear.

"Impossible! How does he still have spiritual energy!?"

"Movement and Sword Techniques of this quality must consume a lot of spiritual energy. How can he still have enough to use them?"

"I don't want the Cultivation Technique and Magical Artifact anymore. You guys go grab them!"

"I don't want them either! I'm leaving!"

"What if he's just bluffing?"

"Right, what if he doesn't have much spiritual energy left?"

Facing Zhang Daobai's frantic harvesting, some people turned and ran in fear, while others still held onto hope, unwilling to give up halfway.

Not much spiritual energy?

Hearing these people's hopeful words, Zhang Daobai smiled disdainfully.

Having already compressed his spiritual energy seven times, his spiritual energy reserves were equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

Even after continuously using Xuan Grade movement and Sword Techniques, the spiritual energy in his body was only a bit more than half used.

The remaining spiritual energy was more than enough to kill the rest of the people.

After cutting off another head, Zhang Daobai's eyes flickered. He didn't continue to teleport and kill but took out a Medicinal Pill bottle, pretending he wanted to take a pill.

"Quick, stop him! He's out of spiritual energy!"

"Can't let him recover his spiritual energy! Hurry!"

Seeing Zhang Daobai preparing to take a pill, the people around him immediately understood that Zhang Daobai was out of spiritual energy and was preparing to take a pill to recover.

In their urgency, they ignored the fear Zhang Daobai had just brought them and rushed towards him with their weapons.

Facing the crowd's attacks, Zhang Daobai didn't dodge as before but propped up an earthy yellow protective shield, enveloping himself.

This protective shield was released by the Defensive Inner Armor Lin Luoxue had given him, which was also a High Grade Magical Artifact.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Soon, all the attacks from the surrounding people fell on the protective shield, making crisp clashing sounds.

Although the shield wasn't broken, the light on it dimmed a bit.

"Another High Grade Magical Artifact!"

"Quick, break this shield! Don't let him recover his spiritual energy!"

"What a good treasure! It's mine!"

Seeing Zhang Daobai take out another High Grade Magical Artifact, the people around him went crazy again, their eyes full of greed.

Their attention was entirely on Zhang Daobai's High Grade Magical Artifact, failing to notice the strange smile on the corner of Zhang Daobai's mouth.

"Are you all here?"

"Since you're all here, let's wipe you all out in one go!"

Zhang Daobai put away the Medicinal Pill bottle and raised his sword with both hands towards the sky. A Thunder Snake composed of Golden Thunder condensed on the tip of the sword.

"Golden Thunder Illuminates the World!"

The Thunder Snake on the sword tip shot towards the sky. In an instant, a deafening thunderclap exploded above everyone.

"Boom!"

Hearing the thunder from above, everyone subconsciously looked up, only to see a flash of golden light.

In the next second, with Zhang Daobai as the center, the area within a twenty-meter radius was instantly covered by bolts of Golden Thunder falling from the sky.

The dazzling Golden Thunder light caused those watching secretly from a distance to close their eyes and turn away.
