Ch 620: Slaying The Nascent Soul
Nearly fifty bandits completely occupied the road ahead.
They wielded sharp weapons, their ominous auras glaring at the Yuanyang Sect members.
Seeing this, a group of Yuanyang Sect disciples were somewhat flustered.
This was the first time they had encountered a robbery.
After Elder Sun dismounted from the carriage, he protected the disciples in front of him, squinting at the bandits and saying,
“What do you mean? Don’t you know we are from the Yuanyang Sect?”
The leader of the bandits, a burly strong man with a full beard, should be the leader of this group of bandits.
However, he couldn’t see through the opponent’s strength, so he didn’t dare to act rashly, instead mentioning their sect.
Upon hearing this, the strong man laughed heartily.
“Ridiculous!”
His gaze suddenly turned cold: “Old man Zhou Gu is robbing your Yuanyang Sect. In the past, your Yuanyang Sect injured nearly a hundred of my Black Mao Mountain brothers. This debt has been outstanding, and now it’s time to collect interest.”
After saying this, his aura suddenly erupted.
It was clearly Nascent Soul cultivation.
The Yuanyang Sect disciples were shocked by this aura, and immediately stood there trembling, their faces full of panic.
Elder Sun wasn’t much better; he was only a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, facing a Nascent Soul cultivator was a dead end.
And the opponent also claimed to have a grudge against their Yuanyang Sect.
He immediately realized that this matter could not be resolved peacefully; the other party might not only rob them but also kill them.
So Elder Sun put his hands behind his back, silently took out a talisman, and then performed a hand seal.
Immediately, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire.
This was their Yuanyang Sect’s Emergency Transmission Spell; once cast and burned, it could immediately notify the sect. Then, the sect would realize that an immense trouble had occurred here and would immediately send people to support them.
However, support would take some time. Although their current location was not too far from the sect, it would still take half a cup of tea to travel.
Within this half a cup of tea, he had to find a way to stall the other party to have a chance of survival.
So while Elder Sun called for support, he looked at the bandit leader and said, “Sir, you are from Black Spear Mountain. I don’t remember our Yuanyang Sect having any grudge with Black Spear Mountain. Could it be that you have mistaken us?”
He truly didn’t know if the Yuanyang Sect and Black Spear Mountain had any grudges. In the sect, he was just an Outer Elder who was usually responsible for replenishing supplies; otherwise, almost nothing else was under his jurisdiction.
“Heh!”
Bandit Leader Zhou Gu sneered, looked at Elder Sun’s back, and said, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing?”
“Trying to call for reinforcements is useless. It won’t take half a cup of tea before my brothers and I can kill all of you.”
After saying that, he held a long saber flashing with cold light in his hand, and then Zhou Gu strolled over.
The other bandits sneered and followed, pressing closer.
The Yuanyang Sect disciples retreated in panic, gradually moving away from the carriage.
Elder Sun’s heart had completely sunk to the bottom.
His methods were completely exposed to the opponent; he couldn’t think of any way to cope.
Although a senior was sitting in the carriage, after the conversation.
He knew that this senior seemed to know very little about matters on the Boundless Continent; at first glance, they were like a naive and ignorant disciple newly joined the sect.
How high could such a person’s cultivation be? He thought it was at most the Golden Core Stage.
However, Zhou Gu was a far more powerful Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, which alone could crush them all.
At this moment, his entire heart sank to the bottom; he felt completely doomed.
In the carriage, Li Hanzhou shook his head at this scene.
Unexpectedly, he encountered highway robbery even on the Boundless Continent. It seems that bandits are a popular profession everywhere.
It’s just a pity that it’s a bit life-threatening.
A Thousand Thunder Tribulation sword struck out.
Zhou Gu, who was about to strike, froze in place. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then lost consciousness.
Puchi!
A fountain of blood spurted out, and Zhou Gu’s head flew high into the air before falling to the ground.
But the next moment, a translucent, golden-light miniature person exactly like Zhou Gu flew out of the corpse, revealing a trace of aura at the Divine Soul level.
This was Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul.
After cultivators enter the Nascent Soul Stage, the Golden Core condenses into a Nascent Soul, attaching the entire Divine Soul to it. Even if the physical body dies, as long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, it can still survive.
At that time, one only needs to find a fresh body for body seizure, or use Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to reconstruct the body, to be reborn.
At this time, fear was etched on Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul’s face.
That sword just now was too fast; so fast that he couldn’t see clearly, and he didn’t even have time to react.
Being targeted by such a terrifying expert, even escaping was just wishful thinking.
So Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul immediately shouted to the surroundings: “I implore Senior…”
Halfway through his words, Thousand Thunder Tribulation moved again.
With the electric arc winding around, Thousand Thunder Tribulation transformed into a thunder that traveled across the sky dome, and in an instant struck Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul.
The terrifying Power of Thunder erupted.
“Aaah!!”
Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Then, Zhou Gu’s Nascent Soul exploded into a golden light, turning into countless light spots and dissipating directly.
“This… this is impossible? The Boss has Nascent Soul Peak cultivation and has cultivated the Fossilization Art to its peak. His physical body is said to be invincible among those of the same realm. How could he be killed with one sword?!”
The Second Boss, his eyes filled with fear, looked at Zhou Gu’s corpse, his face full of disbelief.
“Could it be a Divine Transformation Stage Expert?”
It must be! Only a Divine Transformation Stage Expert could kill the Boss with one sword!
He immediately realized that they had encountered someone they shouldn’t have provoked.
Upon seeing this scene, the remaining bandits trembled all over, and said in terror, “How can we fight this? Run! Otherwise, it’s a dead end!”
“I want to live!”
Almost without hesitation, everyone turned around and fled in different directions, not daring to even breathe heavily.
The oath of sharing weal and woe that they had once made was completely forgotten at this moment.
Nothing is more important than survival!
Li Hanzhou glanced at their disappearing backs and ignored them.
With the strongest Zhou Gu dead, the remaining bandits’ cultivation levels were too low, and they no longer had the intention to rob, unable to stir up much trouble.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving us!”
At this time, Elder Sun was the first to react, and excitedly bowed to Li Hanzhou.
This trip was too dangerous; even now, he was still having palpitations. If it weren’t for Li Hanzhou, they would have been killed.
