140: Battle against the Golden Core stage

As expected, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator could sense the fluctuation of earth-attribute Spiritual Qi underground from far away.

He felt relieved!

After all, this place was still too close to the Nether Ghost Market.

It was only ten miles from the entrance of the ghost market; having just held a large-scale trading fair here, if he turned around and snatched items away, who would dare to trade here in the future?

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator stroked his chin, feeling that he still needed to save some face.

But that was only on the surface!

Gu Changan had been stealthily traveling underground for about 10 miles. He wondered if traveling underground for too long would arouse the opponent's suspicion?

He then poked his head out to observe the environment. Through the corner of his eye, he noticed a bright yellow treasure aura in the sky in the distance.

His premonition was correct; this was indeed a trap.

But fortunately, he had already taken the bait!

Luckily, only one Golden Core Stage Cultivator had come to kill him!

Who would emerge victorious remained to be seen!

Gu Changan took a deep breath and continued to travel underground into the mountains ahead.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator in the sky saw Gu Changan's actions clearly.

He felt even more disdainful, slowly following behind while riding his escape light.

Until Gu Changan had traveled 100 miles underground, he felt it was about enough.

A battle here should not attract the attention of the Nether Ghost Market!

Moreover, having traveled underground for so long, he should have lowered the opponent's guard.

After all, how could a Foundation Establishment Early-stage Cultivator have so much Spiritual Qi in their Dantian?

If he continued to travel underground, it might make this Golden Core Stage Cultivator notice his extraordinary nature!

Gu Changan emerged from the ground, stepped on a Flying Sword, and flew rapidly into the distance through the forest.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze piercing his back from behind.

He saw a terrifying Divine Sense pressure rise up, enveloping his surroundings.

Then, turning his head, he caught a glimpse of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in black robes, riding a Flying Sword, rapidly catching up to him.

Gu Changan dared not waste any more words; after all, he who strikes first gains the advantage!

He then took out a handful of top-grade explosion talismans, activated them all, and threw them backward.

A series of violent explosions formed a wall of fire behind him.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator looked on with disdain, cast a Golden Core Stage protective shield, and charged straight through the sea of fire.

Little did he know that Gu Changan was already waiting for him up ahead!

Gu Changan reached out and took out three top-grade thunderclap pellets from his treasure gathering basin.

After activating them all, he threw them backward in a triangular formation.

Just as the Golden Core Stage Cultivator rushed through the sea of fire, he saw three small, lightning-attribute balls containing immense energy.

He exclaimed, "Ancient thunder shock talismans?"

"What kind of Family are you from?"

"Who exactly is behind you?"

"How could you have so much stock?"

Gu Changan remained silent and continuously threw out top-grade thunderclap pellets.

Take out, activate, throw out; the series of movements was smooth and fluid.

Three, then another three, as if they were inexhaustible.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator was exhausted from dealing with them; after falling for the trap at the beginning, he had no time to react.

He kept casting protective shields on himself, hoping to withstand the attacks of the thunder shock talismans.

But were Gu Changan's top-grade thunderclap pellets so easy to withstand?

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator on the other side had probably never seen what "firepower coverage" meant!

In fact, from the very beginning, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator's Divine Sense had swept over Gu Changan's small movements.

He thought they were just some ordinary Talismans.

That first handful of top-grade explosion talismans had given him a preconceived notion.

Who knew that behind them were even more violent top-grade thunderclap pellets.

One top-grade thunderclap pellet was equivalent to one strike from a Golden Core Cultivator.

Three were equivalent to three strikes; he was now equivalent to being besieged by three Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator glared, "Junior! I don't believe you have so many ancient thunder shock talismans!"

"If you stop now, I will pretend nothing ever happened!"

"I can let you leave!"

"After all, a Family capable of producing so many ancient thunder shock talismans shouldn't be trifled with!"

"Shall we stop here?"

Gu Changan still did not speak; setting a trap to scheme against him!

Was it that easy to end?

Although he still didn't know from what aspect they had targeted him!

But it was a case of strike while the iron is hot! Take your life!

He had finally caught a gap where the opponent couldn't fight back, and only then could he directly control the opponent.

He dragged the opponent into this war of attrition.

If he were soft-hearted for a moment and stopped!

Then the initiative would no longer be in his hands!

By then, who knew how the Golden Core Cultivator on the other side would manipulate him?

Gu Changan controlled the interval between the thunder shock talismans so that there wouldn't be large gaps in the explosions.

Moreover, three thunder shock talismans could completely cover that area.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator frantically injected Spiritual Qi into his protective shield; the lightning energy of these top-grade thunderclap pellets was constantly consuming the Spiritual Qi on the shield.

When more than 20 top-grade thunderclap pellets had exploded, the Spiritual Qi in the Golden Core Stage Cultivator's Dantian was starting to run low.

If he persisted any longer, he might have to use the Spiritual Qi inside his Origin Golden Core.

Once the Spiritual Qi inside was consumed, it might be difficult to recover.

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator stared madly at Gu Changan, his mouth twitching, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he let out a sigh!

"Fine! I admit defeat!"

"Fellow Daoist! Can you spare me?"

"Fellow Daoist! Can you explain?"

"Why are you attacking me?"

"I was just passing by here, Fellow Daoist, and you started with Talismans, and then ancient thunder shock talismans!"

"This barrage of attacks has left me confused!"

Gu Changan rolled his eyes; Cultivators were truly thick-skinned!

He had clearly been chasing him for so long, yet he was the one accusing him first?

However, Gu Changan also wanted to figure out if the opponent was fishing for him specifically?

So he said, "Are you going to explain why you were following me?"

"Also, what are those two ghost soul heart-locking grass seeds from the trading fair?"

"Why would someone at the Golden Core Stage care about such things?"

Gu Changan still planned to probe first to see if the opponent actually knew what it was.

It would also help to determine their corresponding purpose!

Who knew that upon hearing this, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator's eyes flickered.

It looked like he was making up an excuse on the spot!

Gu Changan did not stop his actions; anyway, after the opponent died, soul searching would be the same!

The Golden Core Stage Cultivator on the other side became anxious: "Fellow Daoist! Stop!"

"Let me catch my breath before speaking!"

Gu Changan ignored him.

The opponent started to explain again: "I don't know the full story!"

"Only my good friend knows!"

"He told me that as long as I took out the ghost soul heart-locking grass seeds, I would definitely catch a big fish!"

"As for other things, I really don't know anything!"

Gu Changan saw that the opponent was still being stubborn when faced with death; it was obvious that the opponent definitely knew everything.

How could someone who attacked and pursued him not know the reason?

However, he continued to fish for information: "Then how did you know about the ghost soul heart-locking grass seeds?"
