422: Wang Li, strange fluctuations

"Bang..."

With a series of dull explosions, those lower-ranked Liu family Cultivators were instantly killed by you.

Although the rest responded to you immediately, all the attacks they launched were 99% blocked by Overcoming to Subdue, not nearly enough to cause you any substantive harm.

"Hmph, I intended to spare your lives, but since your Liu family insists on courting death, then I shall grant your wish!"

Cold light flashed in your eyes.

In the next moment, you pressed your advantage and threw several Fatal Strikes toward those stronger Liu family Cultivators.

Through so many years of understanding, you had long since figured out the relationship between Extraordinary Power and Fatal Strike.

Although Extraordinary Power could temporarily block a Fatal Strike, a Fatal Strike was an existence that would not dissipate until it killed its target.

It would continuously draw energy from the world to replenish itself until it killed the target.

And although Extraordinary Power could block it, the master of the Extraordinary Power would be continuously drained.

Although this consumption was not great, it was slightly faster than a Cultivator's recovery speed.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a Fatal Strike would sooner or later kill the target.

And the only way they could get rid of a Fatal Strike was to kill you before they were killed themselves.

Obviously, the few high-ranked Liu family Cultivators did not have this strength.

As time passed, the auras of the many Liu family Cultivators gradually began to weaken.

Although they had tried to get rid of the Fatal Strikes, no matter what they did, they couldn't do it.

With a series of dull explosions, many Liu family Cultivators completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

You turned your attention to the Cultivator who had been invited by the Liu family.

Upon seeing your gaze, he repeatedly stated that he did not want to be your enemy, and that his current actions were merely to repay a favor to the Liu family.

And now that the Liu family had perished, he naturally had no further connection with them.

"Very well, relax your Divine Soul and let me plant a slave seal, and I will spare you. How about that?"

Upon hearing your words, the Cultivator's face turned gloomy.

But after thinking for a long time, he finally agreed to your proposal.

After all, it is better to live in disgrace than to die with dignity.

Being a beast of burden for you meant at least he could live, but if he fought you to the end, disaster would be imminent.

Seeing that the other party agreed, you did not hesitate at all and immediately activated Celestial Travel to appear by his side.

It was just that...

When the other party relaxed his Divine Soul, you did not plant any so-called slave seal, but instead grabbed him and refined him in an instant!

Shrieking screams echoed incessantly, but you did not soften your heart in the slightest and continued to refine his Divine Soul.

Soon, the screams fell silent.

And a large amount of information appeared in your mind.

This person's name was Wang Li.

Just as he had said before, there was no conflict between him and you; helping the Liu family capture you was only because he owed the Liu family Old Ancestor a favor.

He had originally thought that by casually making a move this time, he could repay the favor.

But what he didn't expect was that this repayment would cost him his own life.

"Truly courting death."

You sneered repeatedly.

The original Liu family could not do anything to you at all.

And after you defeated them several times, the number of sneak attacks they made against you decreased significantly.

You had originally stopped taking them to heart.

But who would have thought.

A Wang Li would appear halfway.

This caused the Liu family to once again develop the intention to kill you.

And because of his appearance, you wasted several Fatal Strikes in vain.

Looking at the dwindling number of Fatal Strikes in your hand, you let out a heavy sigh.

However, fortunately, this time was not a total loss.

At the last moment, you successfully cut your losses in time and read Wang Li's memories.

There was a lot of content in Wang Li's memories, including a large amount of information about Cultivator gathering places.

If nothing unexpected happened, you could quickly raid these Cultivator gathering places to obtain a large amount of resources.

You first recovered with Liu Ming, and then immediately began to move according to the content in Wang Li's memories.

You soon arrived at a Cultivator gathering place called Wasteland City.

This was a place you had carefully selected.

Not only were there many various chambers of commerce here, but their strength was also within your acceptable range.

You chose a good time node and launched a raid on this place immediately.

You and Liu Ming raided one chamber of commerce after another.

However, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Just as you stepped into an inconspicuous chamber of commerce to start raiding resources, Crisis Awareness suddenly gave you a warning.

"Hmm?!"

"My cultivation has now reached the Peak of the 16th Realm, and even that Wang Li could only give me a slight warning; who else could hurt me?!"

Your heart was greatly shocked, but outwardly you remained calm, slowly saying: "Shopkeeper, do you have Chaos Spiritual Energy for sale here?"

"Apologies, customer, it is truly unfortunate; the Chaos Spiritual Energy was just sold out yesterday, and this shop has not yet replenished its stock."

"I see, farewell."

You slightly cupped your hands and were about to leave the chamber of commerce like this.

But what you did not expect was that the warning from Crisis Awareness did not disappear; instead, it intensified.

This made the gloom in your heart even worse, but you remained calm and carefully examined your surroundings.

Until...

"Hum!"

A strange fluctuation came from your ears.

You immediately felt that something was very wrong and immediately threw a Fatal Strike in the direction where the fluctuation appeared.

The Fatal Strike and the strange fluctuation collided in the sky, and your figure flashed repeatedly, retreating behind Liu Ming.

You asked Liu Ming to use Extraordinary Power to block all incoming attacks for you.

After answering, he immediately activated his Extraordinary Power to engage with the strange fluctuation.

However, Liu Ming's strength was far from that of the owner of the strange fluctuation.

Even though the Extraordinary Power Liu Ming mastered was quite powerful, he was far from being a match for that Cultivator.

In just a few breaths, you clearly felt Liu Ming's vitality continuously weakening.

Helpless, you had to grab his shoulder and activate Celestial Travel.

You and Liu Ming returned to a nearby Cultivator gathering place.

But before you could catch your breath, that strange fluctuation appeared again.
