260: Chapter 260 Four People Killed in Succession

Hearing this, the crowd was momentarily stunned. How arrogant!

However, the opponent indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

Chen Changqing glanced at the four people, raised his finger, and Azure Thunder condensed in his hand. One after another, illusory azure dragons carrying an aura of ultimate destruction appeared.

This?!

Such a strong aura!

The four people were terrified. They had merely come to rob treasures, yet the opponent actually possessed such formidable strength. However, the several of them exchanged glances and nodded at each other.

Without thinking, Chen Changqing knew what these four people had said during their voice transmission.

Four azure dragons erupted with sizzling sounds!

Every single azure dragon carried the terrifying aura of the Purple Mansion Seventh Stage.

Rumble!

Thunder exploded on the horizon, and the opponents quickly reacted.

Among the four of them, the weakest was at the Purple Mansion Third Stage, and the strongest reached the Purple Mansion Sixth Stage.

As for Master Kuangdao, he also possessed the combat strength of the Purple Mansion Fourth Stage.

Bang!

The four people and the four dragons became entangled in a fierce battle.

Chen Changqing watched from afar. His cultivation seemed to be only at the Purple Mansion Fourth Stage, but in terms of combat strength, it definitely reached the Purple Mansion Ninth Stage.

Three years ago, the reason he was suppressed when facing Fang Chen was mainly because the opponent was also not an ordinary Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator.

As for these four people, at most Master Kuangdao made him take an extra glance, while the other three looked like ordinary Purple Palace Cultivators at a glance.

But then again, right now, most Purple Palace Cultivators were very ordinary to him. He wondered how strong his strength would be when his cultivation was elevated to the Purple Mansion Ninth Stage Perfection?

Presumably, even a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert would not be his opponent, right?

The four dragons completely suppressed the opponents. Seeing this, the four people hurriedly gathered together, joining forces to defend and prevent themselves from being killed individually one by one.

Master Kuangdao took the lead. With the large saber brandished by him, every strike carried formidable destructive power. Every time a saber was slashed out, the form of the azure dragon shrank by a fraction.

The other three also discovered the flaws of these azure dragons, striking back while defending.

Yet they still underestimated Chen Changqing's Azure Flood Dragon Finger.

The four azure dragons split into four directions and crushed toward the four people.

Boom!

A violent explosion resounded from midair. The four people at the center of the explosion were submerged by the Azure Thunder, watching as they vanished before Chen Changqing's eyes.

Chen Changqing flashed, rapidly approaching the opponent, and smashed out with a punch. Boom!

That previous strike was definitely unable to completely kill the four people, so he wouldn't truly be foolish enough to stand in place and wait for the azure dragons to dissipate.

Sure enough, after the aftermath of the explosion passed, among the four people, only one was blown into pieces, while the other three merely suffered varying degrees of light or heavy injuries.

Before the three surviving people could react, another one had their Physical Body pierced through by a punch from Chen Changqing.

What?!

The other two were horrified and immediately fled.

Chen Changqing didn't care about the two, but instead smashed another punch onto the forehead of the man in front of him, completely crushing his head.

Following that, he raised his head and glanced over. Master Kuangdao had an ugly expression. Why did he target me first?

Seeing this, the Purple Mansion Sixth Stage Purple Palace Cultivator felt joy in his heart. As long as the opponent didn't chase after him at first glance, then by the time Master Kuangdao was completely dealt with, he would have already fled far away.

"Fellow Daoist, must you be so ruthless?" Master Kuangdao felt Chen Changqing's killing intent and was almost moved to tears.

"Things have come to this, and you still want to say anything? Die for me." Chen Changqing summoned the qingtian sword.

Sword light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, Master Kuangdao was killed.

Chen Changqing put away the other party's Storage Pouch and looked in another direction.

Half an incense stick's time later, Chen Changqing destroyed the corpses of those people and wiped out all traces, conveniently taking away their Storage Pouches. Without having time to check the things inside the Storage Pouches, he hurriedly left the place.

Over a month later, he finally returned to Yunxia City.

This time he went out on a trip, and his harvest was quite bountiful.

Not only did he obtain two Purple Mansion spiritual items, but he also obtained the Storage Pouches of four Purple Palace Cultivators.

He had checked all the Storage Pouches. Inside Master Kuangdao's Storage Pouch, there were over two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, along with some Spirit Medicine and Magical Artifacts, etc. Especially his large saber, which was worth a full two hundred thousand, bringing the value of this Storage Pouch to over seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

As for the other three Storage Pouches, the one belonging to the Purple Mansion Sixth Stage Purple Palace Cultivator had a value of nearly one million Spirit Stones. The other two were much less, being around two hundred thousand and three hundred thousand.

All four Storage Pouches added together reached a value of two million Spirit Stones.

And he himself also had items worth nearly two million Spirit Stones.

Under certain circumstances, at the Purple Mansion Realm, he was also extremely wealthy.

Just the Spirit Stones on hand alone amounted to 760,000.

Soon after, he returned to the shop he operated previously. Li Qingling was introducing the Medicinal Pills she refined to someone else, along with those Talismans and Magical Artifacts.

The moment she caught sight of Chen Changqing, joy appeared on her face.

Chen Changqing nodded at her, letting her finish her proper business first.

An hour later, Li Qingling finally saw the guest off.

"Brother, you came back so quickly."

"This time I auctioned two Purple Mansion spiritual items..." Chen Changqing recounted everything he encountered over these past few months one by one.

When speaking of being besieged and killed by four Purple Palace Cultivators, her expression became somewhat ugly. Fortunately, Chen Changqing possessed formidable strength, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

"I didn't expect the Tang Country cultivation world to be this dangerous as well. Fortunately, this time they didn't know your strength." Li Qingling felt some lingering fear.

The last time they were ambushed and killed by Fang Chen, the opponent's strength at that time far exceeded theirs. If not for the two of them joining forces to kill him, it would be hard to say what the consequences would have been.

"Qingling, during this period of time, go back and prepare first. Opening up the Purple Mansion does not need to be rushed for the moment, as long as everything is secure." Chen Changqing handed the two Purple Mansion spiritual items to Li Qingling, and then spoke.

"Okay." Li Qingling put them away and returned to the back room.

The back room had a Tier 3 High Grade Spirit Gathering Array, which was enough for Li Qingling to achieve the Purple Mansion.

As for him, he began to continue refining Magical Artifacts. Currently, he could at most only refine Tier 3 Medium Grade Magical Artifacts, and he needed to continue improving to raise his Artifact Refining level so that High Grade Magical Artifacts of the Family in the future would be handled by him for refinement.

However, outside their peaceful little home, the outside world was somewhat unsettled. After the Sects behind the four Purple Palace Cultivators killed by Chen Changqing discovered that their people had died, they hurriedly searched for the whereabouts of the other party and the murderer.

Aside from Master Kuangdao's Sect, the Badao Sect, which was searching for the murderer who killed Master Kuangdao, there were also two other factions inquiring and searching. As for the last one, who was likely a Loose Cultivator, no one took action for him.

These three factions quickly found the place where Master Kuangdao last appeared, Taoyuan City, and investigated there for a long time.

Among them, after much investigation and verification, the Badao Sect formed some conjectures.

Because during the Taoyuan Auction, Master Kuangdao had competed for the ziyu pill, intending to win one for his granddaughter, but this ziyu pill was snatched away by a Purple Palace Cultivator.

Following the departure of that Purple Palace Cultivator, Master Kuangdao was also no longer in Taoyuan City from that moment on.

Although everyone was unwilling to admit it, having cultivated for so many years, how could they not know that Master Kuangdao definitely went to rob treasures for that ziyu pill, and most likely ended up being counter-killed because he couldn't defeat the opponent?
