Chapter 127: A Question of Character?
The bearded cultivator released his black-gold broadsword in his fury and shock. Dang! A clash resounded as the black-gold broadsword struck against the white screen the green robed youth emitted, as sparks sprayed out everywhere.
The bearded cultivator had deemed that the Moonlight Sect disciple would likely not let either of them off.
When the rebounded white screen flew back into the hand of the green robed youth, upon taking a closer look, it was a white crescent moon-shaped dagger with abnormally sharp edges. However, at this moment, it had a deep-seated scar in its centre.
Noticing the scar on his dagger, the green robed youth merely sneered. Obviously, it was just a test to see the strength of his opponent's sword and it wasn't even of an adequate level in his eyes.
The bearded cultivator's outline flickered and flew towards the green robed youth after parrying away his magical artifact.
The green robed youth reacted upon seeing his opponent's movement by lightly tapping on the palace robed girl's body. A layer of cold ice appeared immediately around the girl, sealing off any air flow. He then leaped into the air, as his boots emitted a cyan light. It turned to be a pair of Ascending Clouds Boots which was of a higher grade than Wei Suo's pair of Wind Cloud Shoes, and allowed its user to surge up to 60m into the air.
The bearded cultivator paled after witnessing such a ruthless method by the youth. He roared in a frenzy and released a black goldish ray from his sword towards the youth ferociously, as if it was a venomous python striking at its prey.
Strangely, the youth froze in the air. Puuuu! Simultaneously when the bearded cultivator's sword ray struck a crack on the back of the youth's scarlet turtle s.h.i.+eld, the youth revealed a sarcastic smile from the corner of his lips as if his opponent had fallen into his trap.
"Glimmering Yin Sand!"
The bearded cultivator let loose a scream. A bag full of Wei Suo's favourite yet expensive Glimmering Yin Sand wrapped together with the youth's Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+eld.
The Sand burnt the Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+eld and heavily exhausted its spirit energy. At the same time, the bearded cultivator's broadsword released green fumes as its brilliance darkened.
Looking at the favourable circ.u.mstances, the Goatee Beard Cultivator stored his beloved sword and immediately triggered a white talisman. In a flash, the misty and low visibility forest turned even hazier to the point where one would not be able to see his outstretched fingers.
The youth casually took out a red gourd and poured true energy into it. Countless bat-shaped flames burst out from the gourd and covered a radius of 150m around the youth.
Having fled under cover for 60m, Goatee Beard was forced to show himself again.
Realising that there was no way of escape, Goatee Beard decided to have a fight to the death with the youth and returned towards his direction. He instantly activated his already hollowed black-gold sword; while simultaneously controlling it to slash towards the youth, he shot a water arrow from his other hand.
Goatee Beard was a Heavenly Circuit Stage 1 cultivator. Hence, the water arrow that he shot out carried significant awe.
The youth was apparently overloaded with many defensive artifacts on him, as he summoned a normal Profound Iron s.h.i.+eld and a Steel Essence s.h.i.+eld; as though he wanted to get rid of these low standard artifacts on him.
After both s.h.i.+elds were blown to smithereens by the water arrow along with Goatee Beard's slash, the youth casually activated a white tooth-like artifact.
Upon seeing the radiation exuberated by the activated beast-tooth artifact, Goatee Beard's face instantly turned unsightly. He immediately recalled his sword and simultaneously activated a dull yellow protection barrier of spiritual energy.
However, the beast-tooth artifact transformed into a white beam with astonis.h.i.+ng speed and by the time the black-gold sword struck down, it landed on nothing. The beam easily pierced through layers of divine light screen erected by Goatee Beard as though it was made of paper. It easily broke through the 2 layers of divine light barriers and struck against the edge of his copper s.h.i.+eld and into his left lower ribs….
A true Spirit cla.s.s artifact!
From the might of this artifact, it was no doubt a Spirit grade artifact.
"AHHHHH!"
Goatee Beard let loose a shrill. The green robe youth coldly reactivated his artifact. This time there wasn't any layer of divine light screen blocking his white beam and it struck past the violet copper s.h.i.+eld and opened a b.l.o.o.d.y hole under Goatee Beard's throat.
Hopeless as he clutched his injury, it only took the timing of 2 breaths before he died face down with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The green robed youth proudly came back to the ground and walked towards the Goatee Bearded cultivator's corpse.
Actually, the youth had a bet with one of his sect seniors before entering Sky Valley, competing on who would be able to hunt down the most cultivators. The winner would be able to walk away with a Marrow bloodstone that was able to suck a demonic beast's blood to use for cultivation.
Upon reaching Goatee Beard's corpse, the youth suddenly stopped and glanced towards the densely covered trees before coldly admonis.h.i.+ng. "Sir, you have been observing for quite awhile already. It's about time to show yourself for me to see."
At the same time, the fiery red gourd was activated immediately. Countless bat-like flames enveloped the dense trees as if there was a catastrophe looming overhead.
"What the f.u.c.k!"
Behind that dense area of trees, Wei Suo looked at a fist-sized spider corpse beside him and dumbfoundedly kept his concealment robe while activating a cyan barrier screen and a copper barrier screen.
This guy's character is really terrible.
Wei Suo just happened to pa.s.s by and had b.u.mped into the Moonlight Sect disciple again. Originally, Wei Suo did not want to fight to the death with him and just wanted to take a look.
However, it seemed like fate wasn't on his side. A level 2 venomous tooth spider was about to land on his head, and Wei Suo had no choice but to stab at it. However, he did not expect that the Moonlight Sect Disciple to notice even that minute movement.
"It's you?"
The Moonlight Sect disciple was slightly shocked after seeing Wei Suo in the midst of the forest fire.
"Holy f.u.c.k!"
Wei Suo wasn't as fearless as the Moonlight Sect disciple. This big forest fire would mostly attract other cultivators or demonic beasts, and at this rate he was going now, it was certain he was going to fight head on with this Moonlight Sect Disciple. Hence, Wei Suo silently cursed in his heart and did not waste another second. He immediately activated his new White Jade Coil artifact.
Freezing air flooded out of the coil and the forest fire was immediately extinguished, leaving only white layer of frost lingering on all of the burnt trees.
Without any hesitation after activating the Jade Coil, Wei Suo used his newly obtained Sneaky Copper Nail and shot it towards the green robe disciple.
"You are also a Heavenly Circuit Stage Cultivator?! With a skill to hide your real cultivation stage, it's no wonder you dare to walk alone in this Sky Valley!" Deducing from the strength by which Wei Suo had launched his attack, the c.o.c.ky youth said so with a tone of surprise. Nonetheless, the youth did not hesitate and shook his arm to unleash a yellow ray to wrap around the Copper Nail. Before Wei Suo could even release the hidden mechanism within the nail to launch a sneak attack, the yellow ray had already wrapped around the Screw and returned into the hands of the youth.
"Are you for real?"
Wei Suo was shocked till his jaw almost hit the floor.
The youth had used something that resembled a yellow belt-like artifact and this artifact was able to straightforwardly steal his opponent's artifact.
With at least 1 real Spirit cla.s.s offensive weapon in his hand and something that was capable of stealing his opponent's artifact, it was no wonder this Moonlight Sect Disciple was able to fearlessly hunt cultivators for entertainment all over the place.
It seemed like this Moonlight disciple wasn't any ordinary inner sect disciple but rather one of the elite disciples.
"This item should be a replica made from the Immemorial sect's Immemorial Damask. The quality of the materials used shouldn't be anywhere near the real Damask. There is a chance that your Spirit cla.s.s arrow artifact can break through it. However, if it fails, you shouldn't try to fight it out but rather think of a way to run." The green robed old man's voice echoed within Wei Suo years.
"Holy f.u.c.k! I am already trying to be low key, why must you be so serious." What made Wei Suo depressed was the youth in green robe did not employ the same tactic that he used against the Goatee Beard Cultivator which was to casually throw out 2 Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+elds. However, the youth activated a green light screen barrier of excellent defense instead. This spoiled Wei Suo's plan on launching a sneak attack using his invisible Bone Piercer artifact.
"CHI!" The air exploded. At this moment, the youth activated his Animal Tooth-like Spirit Grade offensive artifact.
"CHI!" "CHI!"
The 2 layers of Half Spirit cla.s.s defensive spiritual s.h.i.+eld was immediately broken.
"Spirit cla.s.s defensive s.h.i.+eld?"
What made the youth look in disbelief was a shockingly heavy and barbaric presence s.h.i.+eld appearing right before Wei Suo, blocking the white beam effortlessly.
"Phew." Observing that his Scarlet Beetle s.h.i.+eld was left with only a shallow scar, Wei Suo released a relieved exhalation.
"I can't believe that you have a real Spirit cla.s.s defensive s.h.i.+eld. It seems like you are not a poor loose cultivator as I thought. This is really a pleasant surprise." The youth's mouth twitched while taking out a white whistle made of bones.
The colour and l.u.s.ter of his whistle was very similar to the other Spirit cla.s.s weapon. It is as if it was taken from the same beast. The Moonlight Sect disciple placed a white bone whistle into his mouth and blew it.
"Holy f.u.c.k!"
What caused Wei Suo to break out in cold sweat was that once this whistle was blown, not only did the surrounding wind start gusting up, but the sound it gave off attacked his brain and directly caused him to turn dizzy. The green robed youth's figure turned blurry, and resulted in Wei Suo not being able to differentiate the position of the green robed youth properly.
Chapter 128: Stirring Into A Paste!
"Demonic sound-type artifact, d.a.m.n, seems like I'm forced to exhaust my elemental energy. I'll help you to block a little, you do as you see fit." At this moment, the green gowned old man's gloomy voice resounded in Wei Suo's ears. Concurrently, Wei Suo's mind was bestowed with clarity again.
"Wakao!" From the corner of his eyes, Wei Suo could observe this green robed youth brazenly whistling by the side; before sneakily touching against his beast-tooth spirit artifact that was already activated.
The possessions of an elite disciple from a major sect was indeed incomparable to a loose cultivator. If not for the old man a.s.sisting him in resistance, the stunned Wei Suo would have been struck cold from that beam.
"Screw your sister!"
Wei Suo hastily faced towards the green robe youth with a grin; learning that phrase from Liu Sanbao, he swerved his Scarlet Beetle s.h.i.+eld around. Peng! That white beam was deflected away. Meanwhile, Wei Suo had already released his Dark Demon Blade……
The green robed youth was distinctively shaken.
Wei Suo was clearly tottering just a second ago, and he was already prepared to retrieve his corpse. Yet suddenly Wei Suo retaliated with full consciousness as he cursed out 'screw your sister'.
However, his hands were already in action. A Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+eld instantly welcomed the frightening onslaught of the Dark Demon Blade.
Bam! The Dark Demon Blade tore through the already damaged Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+eld like chopping vegetables.
"Screw your sister back!"
In spite of that, the green robed youth scoffed at Wei Suo, as he rolled up that yellow belt-like artifact; seizing the opportunity when the might of the Dark Demon Blade had waned after chopping through his Scarlet Turtle s.h.i.+eld……
On hindsight, it appeared as if the Dark Demon Blade was about to be stolen by the youth. Yet at the same time, a black s.h.i.+mmering brilliance flushed out from Wei Suo's palm, and accurately pierce against that yellow belt-like artifact.
Followed by a series of horrific shredding sounds, the yellow belt-like artifact became riddled with holes; transforming into a tattered old rug that an old granny would use to clean her feet. Its spirit energy dissipated as it pelted to the ground.
"HAHA!"
Wei Suo had originally planned to flee if he could not destroy that annoying artifact. Yet after seeing that scene, he laughed out with unrestrained ridicule. "It isn't my sister who gets screwed, it's yours!"
"Two spirit cla.s.s offensive artifacts?" The arrogant confidence exuberated by that youth was now utterly decimated by Wei Suo's action of destroying his precious artifact. Moreover, he had been mocked by Wei Suo, triggering a spiralling surge of blazing wrath within his heart as he screamed out. "Just with those pathetic items, you still aren't qualified to be so rampant before me!" As his voice faded away, two other objects appeared in his hands…..
"What kind of joke is this?" Upon witnessing it, Wei Suo yelped in fright as he strived to summon out a flaming s.h.i.+eld.
Glimmering Yin Bone Sword!
The sword the green robed youth produced, was actually that Glimmering Yin Bone Sword he used in defeating the Heavenly Circuit stage level 2 cultivator, Wen Daozhou!
This sword was an item that with one ignition, it would directly burn off 1,500 low grade spiritual stones. Furthermore, this green robed youth had actually produced two swords!
Judging by the defensive capability of Wei Suo's Scarlet Beetle s.h.i.+eld, it could estimatedly barely block them off. However once that happens, Wei Suo reckoned his Scarlet Beetle s.h.i.+eld would be as good as sc.r.a.p.
It was because realizing that his opponent had blatantly displayed two Glimmering Yin Bone Swords, that Wei Suo yelped in horror. All of a sudden, the face of this youth disciple from Moonlight Sect turned ghastly pale…….Because right now, he had abruptly discovered the appearance of a random upper-tier level 5 Twin-headed Canine to his left!
It was as though this Twin-headed Canine had just crossed hands with a cultivator. Both of its heads were muddled with blood and flesh, and it had already spat out both of its demonic pellets.
A fiery red pellet and a yellow thunder pellet; both volleying towards him.
The fearsome bombarding of the twin demonic pellets of a Twin-Headed Canine, was something this green robed youth was exceedingly clear about. The youth scrambled in reflex and summoned out a tiny s.h.i.+eld embroidered with decorative gold; while simultaneously, one of his Glimmering Yin Bone Swords had surged out towards the Twin-Headed Canine.
Boom! The powerful Glimmering Yin Bone Sword's fiery sword energy exploded forth. In a flash, the pupils of the youth contracted rapidly, because the Twin-Headed Canine had simply evaporated into a mist of vapor over where it stood…….
"Die!"
Not sparing this golden opportunity, Wei Suo's black arrow once again shot forth. Rippling through the air, it directly pierced and shattered the divine light screen covering the green robed youth.
Yet at this instance, the green robed youth reacted quickly and reached forth his hand as he forcefully s.h.i.+fted his tiny golden s.h.i.+eld to endure the a.s.sault of Wei Suo's black arrow. His expression was exceedingly grim.
With a flurry of hand motions, the divine light screen that had just been shattered, recovered and enveloped him once again.
"Illusory Light Talisman. I never expected you would actually be in possession of an Illusory Light Talisman. It appears that I have indeed underestimated you."
"However with just your spirit cla.s.s offensive artifact, you are incapable of breaking through my defense……as for that s.h.i.+eld of yours, I would really love to see how it endures the onslaught of my Ghost Tooth Blade; once it tanks the explosion of this Glimmering Yin Bone sword." After resisting Wei Suo's a.s.sault, the green robed youth wasn't in a rush to retaliate. He merely glared at Wei Suo and mocked in an eerie tone.
"You really don't have a younger or older sister?" Wei Suo laughed heartily with his teeth exposed, as he abruptly asked out.
The green robed youth was once again tilted. He knew his killing threat had touched the maximum of dreadfulness, yet this fella right ahead actually dared to laugh. Moreover, he even spewed forth such a moronic question.
"Your flowery features ain't bad eh, if you have a younger or older sister to recommend, perhaps I can promise letting you off." Instead, Wei Suo continued teasing. "Your words aren't wrong man. My artifact s.h.i.+eld will definitely not be able to withstand manifold a.s.saults from a true spirit cla.s.s artifact once the Glimmering Yun Bone Sword is unleashed against it…..but a pity, I do have an invisible artifact that can bluntly penetrate through a divine light screen."
"You still dare to brag at death's door! Even after reading every book about concealment arts back at Moonlight Sect 3 years ago, I have never heard of an invisible artifact that can directly pierce through a divine light screen." The green robed youth sneered with unparalleled obstinance.
Yet right at this moment…..Pu! The divine light screen in his face shattered abruptly. It was evident that a hidden artifact had struck against his divine light screen.
A chilly sensation welled up in his eyes. His pupils contracted in reflex as he attempted his utmost to observe what artifact had managed to penetrate through his divine light screen; yet before he accomplished that feat, a mutilated 'Pssh' sound erupted from the back of his head, as a string of blood jetted out…..
With both eyes bulging incomparably, the green robed youth's body twitched vehemently before slanting and slumping towards the ground.
"f.u.c.k yeah!"
Within the s.p.a.ce of a thunderbolt crackle, Wei Suo had retrieved a Slave Beast Pouch and kept back his invisible Mind Devouring Bug. Following that, he charged straight to the corpse of that bearded cultivator, flinging out his objects as he begun to grope about in breakneck speed. Amidst everything, Wei Suo picked out a peculiar moss green jade symbol that appeared like a commanding medallion.
Without further delays, Wei Suo wholeheartedly retrieved everything from the green robed youth's corpse before activating that peculiar moss jade medallion.
Black ashes swivelled over the youth's possessions. In that instance, the entire pile of objects sizzled and emitted a puff of fumes…..
Once the ashes and fumes had dispersed, Wei Suo then proceeded to sweep away the remaining bearded cultivator's possessions cleanly. Only after storing everything into his Treasure Receiving Pocket did he hastily pick out several items from that palace robe young lady. After his looting deeds had concluded, he rushed off with great urgency into the field of dense forest. Only after snapping off several tiny branches and creating a fraudulent escape route did he cautiously return back, and then flew away towards the opposite direction.
Half an hour later since he officially entered Sky valley, Wei s...o...b..red his way into a filthy hollow tree located in the southeast region.
"Never explore deep abyss and venture unfathomable caves." This was an ancient term of the cultivation world, which was directed towards impulsive, hot-headed cultivators. Many abysses and caves were frequently lairs of demonic beasts, which were danger zones for all cultivators. For the sake of one's own measly life, it was better not to be daring…..however at present, Wei Suo felt like whatever cavern he encountered had become auspicious ground to him. Thus, he prepared his inventory and investigated for ways in seeking out caves to venture into.
Fortunately, ma.s.sive skyhigh archaic trees the circ.u.mference of ten humans were littered all around Sky Valley. Trying to find a cave or hollow tree to enter was a simple feat.
"This little brat is really enjoying a vacation while being at home. Killing and plundering reaps such great fortunes."
"But am I being too cruel?"
Upon entering this filthy hollow tree, Wei Suo immediately muttered to himself.
His first statement was issued to the Slave Beast Pouch. The second was issued to that green gowned old man.
Facing an elite disciple of the Moonlight Sect, it could be said that Wei Suo had triumphed over extreme danger.
First, he relied on the Illusory Light Talisman to lure the opponent's attention. If both Glimmering Yin Bone Swords had exploded, Wei Suo would be wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves now.
In preparation for his adventure to Sky Valley, crafting of the Illusory Light Talisman had expended much efforts from him. Just that one talisman infused with the projection of a Twin-headed Canine exhibiting a diabolical demeanor had already taken him half an hour of time. Following that, he still had to craft the hallucination of the Twin-headed Canine spitting out its terrifying twin demonic pellets; this creation wrecked Wei Suo's mind greatly. In the end, he utilized a transparent thread to tie two demonic pellets and hung it before the terrifying Twin-headed Canine, in order to create such a compelling effect. Hence, it caused his opponent to turn fl.u.s.tered and react rapidly, only to squander away one Glimmering Yin Bone Sword.
Following that, Wei Suo even took the risk to stealthily dispatch his Mind Devouring Bug, laying in standby outside the youth's light screen. Then when the divine light screen shattered, it infiltrated in at first notice and ultimately dealt a fatal blow to the green robed youth.
If that youth had discovered the existence of his Mind Devouring Bug earlier on; this tiny infant 'apple of his eye' who possessed minute defense would be pulverized beyond recognition. Such a precious treasure who possessed great penetrating and killing potential than spirit cla.s.s artifacts would simply die prematurely like that.
Instead, a controlled Mind Devouring Bug revealed amplified killing potential than a Mind Devouring Bug that had sovereignty over itself. That show of might had caused Wei Suo's scalp to turn numb as well.
This was due to the fact that when an independent Mind Devouring Bug a.s.saulted a cultivator, it had the customary habit of absorbing the cultivator's tissues upon piercing its absorption spur in. In that manner, the cultivator may still retain his consciousness and unleash one final attack. Instead, Wei Suo had bluntly commanded it to impale through with its bone spur, mercilessly ripping through. With this ripping action, the youth's brain was instantly maimed and desecrated. That was why Wei Suo had offered such a statement to the green gowned old man. 'Was I being too cruel?'
