122: Chapter 122 Annihilation of a Seventh-Level Foundation Establishment cultivator
After detouring for a full several dozen miles, Chen Xuanyi finally slowed down.
That Tier 3 Magma Behemoth from earlier was simply too powerful; if he hadn't seized the opportunity to leave, he might not have been able to escape later.
Furthermore, the primary purpose of his trip was to obtain a piece of Tier 3 Star Meteor Ore, and then find an Artifact Refiner to refine the Star Meteor Ore into his chiyang sword to enhance its power.
However, despite how vast this underground area was, it was a pity that after taking so many detours, he still hadn't found the Star Meteor Ore.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of explosions rang out from not far away, and Chen Xuanyi immediately changed direction and headed towards another place.
However, the group of Cultivators behind him seemed to be fleeing in the same direction as him, and their speed was much faster than his.
Chen Xuanyi fully released his Divine Sense, and everything within a radius of three miles was completely under his gaze.
Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators were closely following behind him, and their cultivations were almost all higher than his. Precisely because of this, they were able to accurately track Chen Xuanyi.
A trace of anger appeared on Chen Xuanyi's expression. "These bastards."
The Magma Behemoth behind them was also closely following them, and it was getting closer and closer.
Chen Xuanyi had no choice but to loop back and forth through the surrounding passages, trying to shake them off in this manner.
Roar!
The Magma Behemoth in the rear let out an angry roar, and a terrifying wave of Qi swept over, causing the surrounding walls and earth to tremble as countless rubble fell from above.
While dodging, Chen Xuanyi summoned his chiyang sword to slash apart the rubble blocking his path.
The several Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the rear also advanced along the passage he cleared.
"Ah!"
The last Foundation Establishment Cultivator was caught up to, and then beaten into a meat patty beneath the Magma Behemoth's hill-like fist.
The others were terrified and accelerated to continue fleeing.
Bang, bang, bang!
Although the Magma Behemoth had a massive body, its movement speed was not slow. In fact, if not for the fact that several people were underground, they might have been caught up to long ago.
Seeing the several opposing Foundation Establishment Cultivators getting closer and closer to him, Chen Xuanyi knew that if this continued, being caught up to was only a matter of time, so he came up with a bold idea.
Thinking of this, he seized the time to continue flying forward. Not far ahead, there was an extremely narrow passage extending for fully a dozen miles. As long as he crossed it and sealed the passage, it would be very difficult for that Magma Behemoth to continue chasing him.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The sound of piercing through the air from behind was already extremely close, less than a mile away from him.
After a while, he finally arrived at that narrow passage. As he passed through, he summoned his chiyang sword and drove it to frantically slash at the stone walls on both sides.
"Not good, he wants to seal the passage, let's hurry and chase him." One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators closely following Chen Xuanyi said.
Hearing this, the other two also grew anxious in their hearts. Originally, five of them had come down to explore together, but now two had been slain by the Magma Behemoth.
If this passage were completely sealed, then the three of them would have only a dead end left.
The three hastily increased the operation of their Cultivation Technique, no longer caring what consequences such frantic use of magical power would cause. After all, if they didn't hurry up, they would be caught up to by the Magma Behemoth behind them.
Chen Xuanyi had already reached the other side of this narrow passage. Seeing the three people who were now less than a hundred zhang away from him, he hurriedly made his move. Following the final sword strike landing on the stone wall, this passage collapsed with a loud crash.
At the final moment before the collapse, Chen Xuanyi could hear the resentful curses of the opposing group.
Hiss!
A sound of piercing through the air rang out from behind Chen Xuanyi.
Alarm bells blared loudly in Chen Xuanyi's heart, and he hurriedly summoned an escape Talisman to teleport over a hundred zhang away.
"You hide quite fast."
Chen Xuanyi looked over and saw that it was precisely the Foundation Establishment old man who had chased him the tightest earlier. He was currently in a very sorry state, having likely escaped by using some high-power escape art right as the passage completely collapsed. However, looking at his blood-soaked appearance, it was evident that executing this escape art required a heavy price.
However, this escape art managed to let him salvage a dog's life.
"Fellow Daoist, if you all hadn't insisted on following me, how would you have ended up in such a state?" Chen Xuanyi's gaze was cold. Since both sides had become mortal enemies, one of them had to die here today no matter what. However, his cultivation was indeed lower than the other party's; that old man exuded the aura of a Layer 7 Foundation Establishment, though after executing that escape art just now, his whole body's magical power was left with only three or four tenths.
Yet Chen Xuanyi was about the same. He had originally consumed quite a bit of magical power on the journey, and used quite a bit more to seal this passage, so the magical power inside his body was actually only left with five or six tenths.
"Hehe! Regardless of what happens, Fellow Daoist must die today." The old man's tone was gloomy and cold as a giant axe flew out from his hand, slashing straight towards Chen Xuanyi.
Feeling the terrifying power of that giant axe, Chen Xuanyi knew he couldn't take it head-on, and instantly dodged out of the way.
On the other side, he summoned his chiyang sword once more, slashing towards the old man from afar.
The old man let out a cold snort. "A Layer 4 Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually thinks he can compare to me; this old man's nearly two hundred years of cultivation were not cultivated in vain."
That giant axe was hastily retracted and then chopped down towards the chiyang sword.
With just a single strike, the chiyang sword was sent flying, and Chen Xuanyi was also blasted backward by this rebounding force.
Puff!
Chen Xuanyi hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth. With his Layer 4 Foundation Establishment cultivation, he truly was far from being a match for a Layer 7 Foundation Establishment.
Seizing the opportunity, the old man continued to drive that giant axe to slash at Chen Xuanyi. Chen Xuanyi immediately took out several Tier 2 Medium Grade glazed talismans given by Chen Changqing and summoned them all at once.
"To actually have so many Talismans, what a waste of heavenly treasures." The old man wore a greedy expression on one hand, while displaying a look of heartache on the other, clearly viewing all of Chen Xuanyi's treasures as his own.
Bang!
Several Tier 2 Medium Grade glazed talismans blocked this strike for Chen Xuanyi, giving him a moment of breathing room. He took out a white porcelain bottle and poured a drop of millennial spiritual milk into his mouth.
Seeing this, the old man's gaze was shocked. "How is this possible? He actually even has a treasure like millennial spiritual milk."
"Damnable, I must kill him."
The old man's intent to kill Chen Xuanyi grew even heavier, and he immediately summoned a set of Tier 2 Medium Grade Flying Swords, cooperating with the giant axe to jointly slay Chen Xuanyi.
After consuming a drop of millennial spiritual milk, the magical power within Chen Xuanyi's body instantly recovered to its peak. He recalled his chiyang sword, circulated the Golden Radiance Art, and terrifying fire spiritual energy instantly gathered around his body.
Great Sun Radiant Flame!
A massive sun instantly formed before Chen Xuanyi, and the magical power inside his body was instantly drained empty.
Boom!
Sensing the terrifying spiritual energy emitted by that giant sun, the old man immediately wanted to flee, but he had nowhere to escape and could only take it head-on.
Upon contacting that golden-yellow sun, the giant axe and the set of Flying Swords only managed to resist for a brief moment before being completely vaporized into nothingness.
The old man's eyes carried shock and disbelief. "No! No! How could this old man's lifelong cultivation of two hundred years... die here!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, the old man was completely obliterated by Chen Xuanyi.
After Chen Xuanyi's Divine Sense spread out and failed to perceive even a trace of the old man's aura, he finally set his mind at ease. He immediately took out millennial spiritual milk to consume, and after completely refining it, he left right away. The commotion just now was huge, and he feared it might attract the covetous eyes of other Cultivators.
