Chapter 244: Three Golden Cores! (1/2)
At this moment, Xuan Feng ultimately remembered. This kid was the person who played everyone while holding onto his soul tool in Death Bone Tomb! Previously, he was curious as to why Qing Xi would play a scenario just for three Foundation Establishment cultivators. It turned out to be because of this kid. With everything becoming clear to him, why would Xuan Feng hand this kid over to Qing Xi?
“Brother Xuan Feng, don’t you find this inappropriate? No matter what, it’s me who discovered him first. The moment you arrived, you want to bring him away? Aren’t you making things difficult for me?” Originally, Qing Xi was still thinking that he could secretly steal the soul tool. After that, he would return to the group safely. He never imagined that ultimately, he was still discovered by Xuan Feng. Although his plans were destroyed, he would not let Xuan Feng bring Cheng Yu away no matter what. The soul tool was too important to him.
Even those ten great sects, the top-ranking ones, also didn’t have that many soul tools. Let alone the small sects. Similarly at Golden Core Realm, they were already sect elders. But in front of the ten great sects, Golden Core cultivators were merely classified as elite disciples. Within the small sect, they did not even have many spiritual tools. Previously when the six Golden Core cultivators were battling, four from the ten great sects were using spiritual tools. As for them, they were only using supreme-grade treasured tools. It distinctively showed the disparity between them. Furthermore, one could tell how important a spiritual tool was to them.
“What who arrived first, who arrived later? If you didn’t employ a stratagem to trick me, the things on him would have long belonged to me. Would there even be a portion left for you? Therefore, this kid belongs to me, the other two belong to you,” Xuan Feng wasn’t willing to compromise, walking up to Cheng Yu, intending to bring him away.
“You saying so is forcing me to make a move!” Qing Xi’s body flickered as he arrived in front of Xuan Feng, blocking him.
“Want to make a move, do it! There’s no need to be so long-winded. You think I’m afraid of you?” Xuan Feng sent a palm strike towards Qing Xi.
“Good fellow! So you are serious about this. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Qing Xi didn’t imagine Xuan Feng to really make a move. Without paying attention, he was forced to retreat a few steps by Xuan Feng’s palm strike. His heart was immediately filled with anger. As for Tian Xue and Tian Xing, they were facing six other Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could they possibly handle them? Very shortly, they were beaten up to the point where they could no longer retaliate, collapsing on the ground. They vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and no longer had the ability to continue fighting.
Two of the cultivators placed their swords on Tian Xue and Tian Xing’s necks, but did not kill them. Rather, they were waiting for Qing Xi’s command.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Xuan Feng and Qing Zi did not use any weapons. Perhaps it was because neither of them had the intention to slaughter each other, so they only fought with their bare hands.
“Brother Qing Xi, as long as you hand over the soul tool, wait until we find Death Shrine, you will have the rights to choose the treasures inside first. How about that?” Both of them fought for quite a while, but were evenly matched. So, Xuan Feng suggested.
“Brother Xuan Feng, I also have the same intention. How about letting you pick first and letting me have the soul tool?” Qing Xi was not foolish. Who knew if they could discover Death Shrine? The soul tool was a physical treasure on Cheng Yu. Who would be willing to exchange with a so-called rumor for a physical treasure? Neither of them compromises. Both wanted to take away the soul tool so they could only continue fighting.
“Bring the few of them away!” Qing Xi saw his followers had already finished their battles, so he was suddenly struck by an idea as he shouted to them.
“Yes!” They received the orders, preparing to bring Cheng Yu away.
“Qing Xi, you despicable b*st*rd! To actually not abide by the rules!” Xuan Feng saw Qing Xi followers was about to bring Cheng Yu away, so he hastily rushed forth.
“Hmph! What rules? Whoever obtains it first, it belongs to! Your opponent is me!” Qing Xi’s body flickered, returning to Xuan Feng’s front, blocking him.
“Bang!” However it was at this moment, just when the four cultivators were about to touch Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu’s body flickered in golden light. They were actually repulsed by a powerful airflow!
“What’s going on?!” Everyone was paying attention to the situation that just happened and were taken back. Only Tian Xue and Tian Xing’s eyes were filled with excitement.
“Such a formidable spiritual Qi circulation? What exactly is going on?” Xuan Feng and Qing Zi had also halted. They felt the spiritual Qi around them rushing into Cheng Yu’s body frantically. Their minds were filled with doubts.
“Golden Core Realm? Not good! He’s forming his core!” Suddenly, Qing Xi felt a familiar aura coming from Cheng Yu’s body. It was the aura of core formation. He was startled.
“Don’t let him form his core!” Xuan Feng also understood. In an instant, he charged up, sending a palm strike towards Cheng Yu. The golden light on Cheng Yu’s body flickered once again. It grew even more dazzling. Xuan Feng was unexpectedly repulsed by a formidable force as well.
“Why is it like this?” Xuan Feng displayed a face of incompetence. He was not able to understand why was he being repulsed!
“Let me!” Qing Xi also felt baffled by it. Sensing the spiritual Qi Cheng Yu was absorbing was growing stronger, he could no longer be bothered by anything else. He circulated the Qi in him. Similarly, his body was flickering in golden rays. After that, he flew as he struck towards Cheng Yu. Same as previously, the golden rays on Cheng Yu’s body grew denser and Qing Xi was also repulsed. Furthermore, blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that Qing Xi had been injured. At that very moment, within Cheng Yu’s dantian, on the third branch of the tree, the third Qi core had also condensed into a golden core. Suddenly, three golden core reflections were flickering above Cheng Yu.
“Core formation, success! But why are there three golden cores?” Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, to the point of them no longer being able to describe how they felt. Three Golden Cores? This was simply unheard of. Tian Xue and Tian Xing were also astonished to the point of being speechless. However, they were more excited. The stronger Cheng Yu was, the safer they were.
