72: Killing the Fishing Ground Cultivators (Part 2)

Gu Yuchuan flicked his tongue, and his pupils gradually narrowed; this was the precursor to an attack. Although he claimed to look down on his opponent, she was, after all, a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Perfection stage. Essentially, they were Cultivators of the same Rank, so he naturally could not truly treat her as incompetent.

Furthermore, this Peony did not look like something weak. The Peony emitted a pink divine light and appeared very opulent. Gu Yuchuan felt a slight dizziness and could even smell a strange fragrance. 'Not good, this is the floral scent of the Peony; it is poisonous.' He realized that he had actually been hit. Facing this kind of move that he had never seen before, he was somewhat caught off guard.

However, one characteristic of a Yao Beast is the strength of its Physical Body; his own resistance to toxins was also very strong. After circulating his mana for a few cycles, his dizziness basically vanished, but his killing intent became even heavier.

He let out a roar, and the water flow transformed into two vines that coiled around the Peony. He could see that this Peony was a manifestation of the opponent's mana and was a profound Spell; it would be better to break it first.

However, how could a profound Spell be so easily broken? The Peony only shed a few petals to block the attack of the water flow. Gu Yuchuan had to admit that the opponent had some skill, but that was all.

He struck out three drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water. These water droplets looked exactly like any ordinary water droplet in the world—crystal clear and seemingly fragile.

However, this beautiful woman was also very cautious. She believed that since she had just blocked a round of attacks, the opponent would not release an attack without power; it was her own strength that was insufficient, which was why she could not see the power of these water droplets.

The Peony underwent a change under her mana. She lifted her leg and entered into the Peony, letting the Spell resist the attack. This Peony was indeed formidable. This Spell was also a superior-grade Spell called the Peony Treasure Spell. It combined offense, defense, and control into one. Even when placed behind one during cultivation, it could increase cultivation speed to a certain extent. Within the entire Hundred Flowers Sect, it was a very powerful treasure Spell. It had very high requirements for Comprehension Ability, so not many people knew it.

However, no matter how powerful this Spell was, it was still limited by the caster. This beautiful woman only had the strength of the Qi Refining Great Perfection; the Spell she used naturally could not compare to the Heavenly Profound Heavy Water.

As expected, the three drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water pierced through the Peony, but not much of their power remained. Striking the beautiful woman, it only knocked her to the ground without causing any other injuries; she did not even vomit blood. Her Junior Sisters behind her hurriedly helped her up, but they were all trembling. They knew clearly that they could not defeat the fierce and monstrous Serpent Yao Beast before them, but they were unwilling to just wait for death.

Gu Yuchuan did not wait any longer. He knew very well that this was the territory of the Hundred Flowers Sect; the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it became. It was better to resolve the battle as quickly as possible. Besides, if he finished fighting quickly, he could go and observe the battle scene of the Foundation Establishment Stage experts, which would be beneficial to his cultivation.

He cast his gaze toward them once again, and a cloud of Poison Mist enveloped them. The few of them raised a defensive light shield together, but it looked precarious.

Clearly, they could not hold out for much longer. The beautiful woman took a Medicinal Pill and stood up again, but her expression was already very ugly. She picked up her Emei Sect piercers and threw them out. In mid-air, the Emei Sect piercers transformed into two vines, attempting to entangle Gu Yuchuan.

Gu Yuchuan did not dodge either. He let out a loud roar, and mana surged into his body. After the vines coiled around him, he shook his body with all his might. Suddenly, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, accompanied by a huge roar, the vines on his body shattered. The opponent had first had her Spell broken, and then her Magical Artifact destroyed. At this moment, she spat out a mouthful of blood. This was an injury to her heart and mind, which was far from easy to heal. Her eyes also held a hint of fear.

Gu Yuchuan slowly approached them, and the aura of a wild beast on his body entered their noses. The beautiful woman could no longer make a move; her mana was no longer under her control. However, a young girl stood out from behind her.

"Serpent Yao Beast, we are not afraid of you. You act so evilly; your end will not be good either. Senior Sister, Junior Sister, let us self-detonate. Rather than being humiliated by this Prodigy, it is better for us to end our own lives, which will also spare us from suffering."

After saying this, she self-detonated. The self-detonation of a Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivator really could not cause any damage to Gu Yuchuan. However, the injured beautiful woman and her other Junior Sister clearly could not withstand such an attack and actually died at the hands of their own people. It was truly ridiculous. Gu Yuchuan devoured their essence, and after confirming they were dead, he turned and left. He was going to observe the battle of the Foundation Establishment Stage experts.

Just as he walked over, he felt a huge fluctuation of mana. Indeed, his current strength was still some distance away from the Foundation Establishment Stage; at the very least, facing them was very uncomfortable. However, faintly, he could see that the Serpent was gaining the upper hand. After all, it had an Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation; although its cultivation was one layer behind, its strength was superior.

Suddenly, the Serpent soared into the air, and a bolt of Divine Lightning struck down from the sky. The opponent did not block it and died directly. At this point, the two of them had killed them all. However, a jade tablet on the Cultivator's body suddenly shattered. They both heard this sound, and the Serpent's expression became very bad.

"Not good, this is the Cultivator's life-bound soul tablet. Once dead, the School will be able to sense it. We must speed up, otherwise, it will be bad if we are blocked here."

Gu Yuchuan also understood that they had three tasks coming here. The first was to destroy the stronghold and take away the Spirit Spring and such; whatever could not be taken away should be destroyed. The second was to kill all the Cultivators, which they had already completed. The third was to take these Spirit Fish away. These Spirit Fish just hadn't opened their wisdom yet; if raised properly in the Cloud Sea Marsh, it would not be a problem to produce a few that had opened their wisdom. By then, there would be a few more Cultivators with the Bloodline of a High-grade Demon Beast, which was definitely a good thing.

What they needed to do now was the first task and the third task. The Serpent released those Spirit Fish.

"You go and find your clansmen now, and have them stay together and wait for me. When we are done, we will take you back to the Cloud Sea Marsh. Rest assured, your clansmen will be raised well. The Lord is still counting on having a few more Yao Beasts that have opened their wisdom. One hour later, we will come to find you. Go quickly."

After speaking, they split into three groups and began to do their own things.
