146: Facing the Heavenly Abyss Golden Core

Just at this moment, the golden spear that had been deflected suddenly changed direction and continued to thrust towards him!

The spear was extremely fast; Qin Dong did not have time to control his Profound Shield, so he could only raise his sword to withstand the attack head-on.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

In an instant, the golden spear and the sword in Qin Dong's hand clashed several times.

With a thought, Qin Dong quickly blocked in front of himself with the Profound Shield.

With a bang, sparks flew.

Protected by the Profound Shield, no matter how the golden spear attacked, it could not achieve any results, so it returned to the hand of its wielder.

After this momentary standoff, Qin Dong felt his arms go numb, his web between thumb and index finger bleeding, and pain surging through him.

"You actually have some strength!"

As the golden spear returned to his hand, the newcomer descended.

Golden light shimmered over his entire body, as if a Heavenly God had descended, his Aura overbearing.

"Step back, You Ruo!" He said to You Ruo, "Let this seat properly spar with this Fellow Daoist who has been hiding his strength!!!"

...

...

"Fellow Daoist, let this seat properly spar with you!"

The opponent flicked his wrist, and the golden spear returned to his hand. The battle was about to begin.

The first thought in Qin Dong's mind was: "Run away."

However, after the battle just now, he discovered that he faintly had signs of a Breakthrough. Therefore, he made a bold decision. To risk facing the Golden Core Cultivator in battle!

With a flick of his wrist, a Profound Rank High Grade sword landed in his hand, and he released his Aura without reservation.

This Profound Rank High Grade sword was forged by him in the Fulong Dynasty and was his strongest offensive Magical Artifact to date, and he had already secretly worn a Profound Rank High Grade hidden armor.

"Half-step Golden Core! You really did hide your cultivation level!" The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator narrowed his eyes, mobilizing the True Essence throughout his body.

"In that case, it won't dirty this seat's hands!"

"Boom!" With a thought from both, two powerful surges of True Essence exploded instantly; the surrounding hills were destroyed, and trees were uprooted.

"Swish—"

"Swish—"

The next moment, the battle began.

The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator suspended in the air made his Move, throwing the golden spear in his hand into the air. "Evil-Exterminating Demon-Sweeping Spear!"

"Whoosh—"

The golden spear hovered, evolving into countless golden rays that shot towards Qin Dong.

"Hmph, petty tricks!" Qin Dong sneered, gently lifting his sword with his right hand as True Essence gathered. "Universe Thunderbolt Invincible Underworld Sword Slash!"

A roar rang through the skies, and the sword suddenly grew larger. Finally, it turned into a phantom that grew with the wind, transforming into a massive sword.

"Break!" With one sword strike, the golden light filling the sky completely vanished.

"You have some means!" The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator moved, instantly grabbing the hovering golden spear, and immediately charged at Qin Dong. The distance of dozens of meters was covered in an instant.

"Die!" A cold light flashed, the spear swung, and it slammed fiercely towards the Qin Dong below. It fell with the force of a thunderbolt!

Nether Profound Shield! Qin Dong conjured the small shield, and a shield full of cracks blocked in front of him.

"You think you can block my attack with just this broken Earth Rank Magical Artifact?"

However, what the Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator did not know was that Qin Dong never intended to block it from the start.

"Detonate!!!" With a rumble, terrifying heat emanated from inside the small shield.

This System reward had completed its final mission. The explosion of an Earth Rank Magical Artifact was extremely powerful, but thinking it could blow up a Golden Core Cultivator was truly a fool's errand.

In the midst of the explosion's flames, the Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator held a jade pendant, which emitted a protective light. When the flames subsided slightly, he raised his spear and attacked again.

No sooner said than done, the opponent's attack was incomparably fast. The spear swept out like a natural-born God of War, intending to sweep through an entire army.

Qin Dong raised his sword to fight, hurriedly using all his skills. Fierce Sky Nine Variations! Heavenly Saint Meteor Fire! Azure Spirit Floating Shadow Body!

However, no matter how many Cultivation Techniques he had or how exquisite his Move changes were, he could hardly touch the opponent. It was like a fighter shouting for ages, only to be easily kicked down.

Bang! The sword blocked the spear, lightning dissipated, and the impact made Qin Dong feel as if a mountain peak had pressed down on him.

"Water Dragon Slash!!!" Qin Dong spat out, and an extremely fast, sharp water blade slashed across. But the opponent was even faster, dodging easily.

Then, with a kick, Qin Dong hurriedly crossed his sword to block. The Water Dragon Slash missed, and the next moment, a spine-chilling sensation surged through his entire body.

Azure Spirit Floating Shadow Body activated at full power!!! Qin Dong's pupils instantly dilated, his consciousness becoming a thousand times clearer. The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator raised his spear and suddenly turned around to stab.

Using his life-saving secret technique, Qin Dong retreated two hundred meters, but the golden spear followed like a cannonball.

Azure Spirit Floating Shadow Body! Thick Earth Spirit Body! Azure Wood Profound Technique! Chaos Control Method! Metal Control Art! Starry Yellow Earth Shield!

...

"Puchi..." The golden spear, carrying the overwhelming might of a Golden Core, pierced through his chest, skewering him like a kebab.

Qin Dong lowered his head and immediately saw blood flowing out, his heart sinking. Terrifying, it was truly terrifying. Why was this cultivation so strange? Shouldn't he, someone burdened with a System, be able to kill anyone at will?

...

"Such fast speed, to actually dodge my sure-kill strike!" A hundred meters away, the Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator did not show much joy on his face; instead, he looked exceptionally serious.

Although the distance was two hundred meters, with his Golden Core cultivation, he could reach him in less than a breath. However, he was not in a hurry to attack again. He was tempted; he had taken a liking to the opponent...

The opponent had too many means; not only was he proficient in many arts, but he could also contend with the Golden Core Realm. If he could be recruited into Tianyuan, it would be a great help to their cause!!!

Such talent would be a pity to die here in vain. Therefore, he spoke. "I will give you one more chance to choose: join, or die!"

"Sorry, I choose... to run." Opposite him, Qin Dong suddenly pulled out a Talisman.

"This is your life-saving method, right?" Seeing this, the Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator could not help but raise his head and laugh three times towards the sky. "Truth be told, I have already set up a spatial Restriction here. You want to escape from here? It's as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

He continued, "Unless you have... Huh? Where is the person?"

"Huh? Where did he go?"

The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator looked and was instantly dumbfounded. He released his Divine Sense frantically, but could not find the opponent's location at all. Qin Dong had crushed the Talisman before he finished speaking and had vanished without a trace.

"Damn it! To think he used a trick to escape!"

"This seat is so infuriated!!!"

The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator raged impotently for a while, then suddenly discovered another thing, "Wait! Where is my Magical Artifact?!"

"Little thief! Return my Magical Artifact!!!"

The Tianyuan Golden Core Cultivator looked again and saw his Magical Artifact had also been taken away by the opponent. He wanted to chase in a fit of rage, but could not find any trace of Qin Dong. In the end, he could only take You Ruo and the others and leave first.

"Hmph! My Magical Artifact imprint is still there; little thief, let's see where you can run!"

...

...

The escaping light tore through space, teleporting Qin Dong thousands of miles away...
