63: Instantly Slay Golden Core

The twilight was like ink, pressing down heavily.

As Yao Delong's figure just stepped into the narrow and gloomy entrance of Black Dragon Valley, a shrill sound of piercing the air suddenly tore through the deathly silence!

Hiss—!

An arrow wreathed in blinding purple lightning arcs shot out like a viper flicking its tongue.

It exploded out from the shadows of the strange rocks on the cliff above, aiming straight for Yao Delong's back!

Before the arrow arrived, the violent lightning power and cold Killing Intent had already locked onto the target!

Yao Delong sensed it!

"Hmph!"

Though he appeared relaxed, he had actually already tightened his Divine Sense, which was comparable to a Golden Core, to the extreme!

He did not let even the slightest fluctuation pass him by.

His Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation was instantly activated, and the dark golden sword light beneath his feet suddenly made a strange, sharp turn;

his figure moved sideways by half a foot, narrowly avoiding the attack!

Boom!

The lightning arrow grazed the corner of his clothes and slammed into the spot where he had just landed, instantly blasting a charred crater into the hard rocky ground, with purple lightning arcs crazily darting around!

"Come out! You sneaky things, do you really think This Yao is blind!"

Yao Delong steadied his figure and shouted sternly, his voice echoing in the narrow valley path.

His gaze swept through the surrounding gloom like lightning, and his powerful Divine Sense surged out in all directions like an invisible tide!

This shout was both a deterrent and a probe!

The deathly silence in the valley was instantly broken!

"Attack!"

A hoarse, sharp shout rang out from above.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three black shadows, like arrows released from a bow, suddenly lunged down from three tricky angles, carrying the overbearing Spiritual Pressure of the Early Golden Core Stage!

Killing Intent overflowed, locking off all of Yao Delong's retreat paths!

A black-clad man holding a lightning talisman bow had cold eyes, his bowstring drawn tight once again!

Another, wearing black iron claw gloves, tore through the air, heading straight for his heart and lungs with a foul wind!

The last one, holding a poisoned short dagger, turned into a ghostly green cold light, silently stabbing toward his waist and ribs!

The three coordinated tacitly, their attacks fierce and unparalleled; they were clearly well-trained killing machines!

They did not waste a single word, their eyes filled only with the cold execution of orders.

'Three Early Golden Core Stage! What a huge investment!'

Yao Delong's heart shook violently as he instantly judged the critical nature of the situation.

The corner of his eye swept rapidly through the surrounding gloom, wary of potential dangers still lurking in the dark!

Yao Delong did not hesitate; with a flip of his hand, the origin breaking pill was already in his mouth!

An unimaginably violent hot current instantly rushed into his limbs and bones!

Inside his Dantian, that liquid spiritual power, which had already reached the limit of Foundation Establishment and was incomparably thick, under the compulsion of this terrifying medicinal power, spun, compressed, and transformed crazily!

Hum—!

A powerful aura, far surpassing that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, suddenly erupted from Yao Delong's body!

Pale golden Qi currents swirled around him; at the core of his Dantian, the originally pure liquid spiritual power, catalyzed by the medicinal power, actually faintly condensed strands of thick and substantial—Spiritual Origin—which emitted a higher level of pressure!

The Golden Core barrier was forcibly broken through!

At this moment, although Yao Delong lacked the reality of a Golden Core, the power circulating within his body already carried a trace of Golden Core power—Spiritual Origin!

"Five Elements Rotation, Sword Transforms into Green Peaks!"

Yao Delong let out a clear whistle, and facing the deadly encirclement of the three Golden Core death soldiers, he actually advanced instead of retreating!

The sword light of the golden crow setting sun in his hand surged, transforming into five fierce sword radiances of different colors;

it was precisely the most basic Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique—Five Elements Basic Sword Art!

However, at this moment, driven by the powerful Spiritual Origin and the Sword Intent of Perfection, this most basic sword art actually radiated incredible power!

Clang, clang, clang!

The sword light was like a curtain, agile and swift! The golden radiance sharply severed the claw wind, the water radiance flexibly deflected the lightning arrow, and the fiery radiance scorched and forced back the poisoned dagger!

For a time, the sword light flowed, actually parrying all the storm-like attacks of the three Early Golden Core Stage death soldiers!

Yao Delong's figure twisted and moved within the narrow space; although he was suppressed, he defended perfectly.

Even his occasional fierce counterattacks could force the opponents into a fluster!

"How is this possible?!" On the cliff, hiding under a rock, Meng Lang's eyes almost popped out, his heart surging with stormy waves!

What the hell was that broken pill? How could it allow a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage guy to hard-clash with three Golden Core?

Being too far away, he did not notice that Yao Delong had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm.

The three death soldiers below felt even greater shock.

This kid not only had strength comparable to an Early Golden Core Stage after bursting, but his sword technique was also rounded and seasoned, and his grasp of combat opportunities was terrifyingly precise!

He was completely unlike the trash with a Spiritual Power Affinity of only two mentioned in the intelligence!

"Cannot drag this out! Blood Burning Forbidden Technique!"

The death soldier holding the claw gloves roared sharply, a flash of determination in his eyes!

"Roar!"

The three issued a beast-like roar almost simultaneously, and a thick, pungent smell of blood erupted from their bodies!

The blood vessels beneath their skin bulged like coiling dragons, and their auras rose crazily!

In an instant, they broke through the boundary of the Early Golden Core Stage, infinitely approaching the Middle Golden Core Stage!

This was a forbidden secret technique that burned the Golden Core Origin and overspent life potential!

Once used, one would either die or be crippled! All just to complete the mission!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three blood shadows, carrying destructive power, lunged to kill again!

Speed, strength, and Spiritual Pressure had all surged several times over! The air was squeezed until it emitted explosive sounds!

Yao Delong immediately felt the pressure like a landslide or tsunami!

Clearly, the power of the Five Elements Basic Sword Art could no longer withstand this terrifying offensive!

"Pure Yang Sword Intent!"

In the blink of an eye between life and death, Yao Delong held nothing back!

Rumble—!

A vast, scorching, terrifying Sword Intent that seemed capable of burning everything in the world erupted like a dormant volcano!

Yao Delong's whole person instantly transformed into a blinding, scorching sun, with golden light shining for ten thousand zhang, and Pure Yang Qi surging violently!

The pitch-black Black Dragon Valley gorge was completely illuminated at this moment, like broad daylight!

The golden crow setting sun in his hand emitted an excited hum, and the Solar True Fire burned fiercely on the sword body, emitting a terrifying high temperature capable of burning mountains and boiling seas!

That aura instantly overwhelmed the combined Spiritual Pressure of the three Golden Core death soldiers who were burning their Origin!

"Sword Intent?! Solar True Fire?!" The three death soldiers' pupils shrank, alarm bells ringing wildly in their hearts!

But the arrow was on the bowstring; there was only a fight to the death!

Claw shadows like mountains, lightning arrows like dragons, poisoned daggers like lightning!

Three terrifying attacks, with the tragic intensity of mutual destruction, slammed fiercely toward that "scorching sun"!

"Pure Yang Sword Art! Sun-Splitting Slash!"

Yao Delong's eyes were cold; the golden crow setting sun in his hand, burning with raging Solar True Fire, transformed into a world-destroying, brilliant sword light!

The Pure Yang Sword Art at the Perfection Realm erupted with heaven-shocking power at this moment.

Chirp—!

The sword light was like a gentle breeze passing by; there was no earth-shattering loud noise, only a heart-palpitating, fine tearing sound as if space itself were being scorched through!

The black shadow in the very front, holding the poisoned short dagger, could not even last a single breath before the brilliant sword light and Solar True Fire!

Silently and soundlessly, it instantly vaporized! Not even a single residue was left behind!

The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

One sword strike took away one Golden Core death soldier who had been exerting their full power!
