Chapter 284: Could It Be Him? (1/2)

“Who the hell are you? We have not offended you, so why are you killing us?” A Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator asked the black gowned man. Almost all of their group had died, leaving behind only five who were all Golden Core Realm experts. He truly couldn’t understand. This black gowned man was clearly a Golden Core initial stage cultivator. How could the five of them be suppressed by him? Moreover, among the five of them, two of them were in the Golden Core middle stage. Such strength was truly intimidating.

“Does killing need a reason? If it is needed, than it will be because I want to!” That black gowned man covered his face as he laughed menacingly.

“Hmph! You vile creature. Want to kill us? It’s not that easy!” One Golden Core middle stage expert roared as he brought along all the others and charged forward. The five Golden Core experts were well coordinated and took turns to attack and defend, causing their strength to grow even stronger. Although that black gowned man was very strong, at that moment, it was truly hard for him to find any loopholes to exploit, making both sides evenly matched.

“Senior Brother, that black gowned man is so strong. He is actually similar to you, able to fight against people stronger than him. I am starting to doubt if we are actually cultivating in the correct direction. Could it be that cultivators no longer use cultivation to measure one’s strength? Just like Senior Brother possessing Golden Core initial stage cultivation, but even Golden Core late stage experts can’t hold a candle to you. Are all the Golden Core experts this useless? This is simply incomprehensible!” When Tian Xing saw there was another person who could fight against opponents that possessed a higher cultivation level, his heart turned to dismay. How could they obtain such monstrous strength and cultivate so quickly?

Yet, he who had been cultivating honestly was only a Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator. Furthermore, he was an extremely ordinary one. Don’t talk about suppressing people who had higher cultivation than him, even if he came across those who were in the same level as him, he might not necessarily win. This was truly frustrating!

“Aish! This is life! The heavens always bestow strength to those who carry heavy responsibilities and are willing to take hardship. I believe that once you understand the meaning behind it, immortals might even become your stepping stones!” Cheng Yu laughed. In fact, Cheng Yu was also astonished by the black gowned man’s strength. Although he wasn’t as strong as him, he was certainly the first person Cheng Yu saw who possessed fighting power beyond their own cultivation level. Cheng Yu was actually more curious about this black gowned man’s identity. Because from him, Cheng Yu could feel a sense of familiarity. This caused Cheng Yu to be extremely puzzled. This was the first time he had been to the Cultivation World and he had never met such a person before.

“For you people to become a stepping stone for me, you should be happy even if you have to pay with your lives!” The black gowned man laughed.

“Just with your abilities? Dream on!”

“Haha! Then I shall let you experience my true strength!” That black gowned man slashed out, forcing everyone to retreat. After that, he chanted some incomprehensible words. Suddenly, countless bats flew out from that black gowned man’s body as they dashed towards the five of them.

When the five of them saw so many bats flying towards them, they turned pale. They hastily slashed out their sword, chopping away numerous bats. However, because these bats’ speed were too quick and there were countless amount of them, the five of them were surrounded very quickly.

“Not good! These are Qi absorption bats! Everyone quickly charge out!” Although the five of them had the heavenly dipper armor to protect their bodies, one of them realized that the Qi on their bodies were being sucked away very quickly, making their heavenly dipper armor become extremely unstable. Five golden lights flickered, repelling all those Qi absorption bats away. However, very quickly the other bats went forward to stick themselves onto them. Thus, the five of them continuously fought and repelled the bats. Momentarily, they had not fallen into a disadvantaged situation, but the Qi consumption was very high. If they were to not escape, sooner or later, they would die.

“Split up to open up a path out!” One of them howled! When the five of them split up, the bats also divided themselves, but each of them was still entangled by countless amount of bats. Meanwhile, the Qi on them was leaking out very quickly.

“Want to escape? It’s not that easy!” Suddenly, the black gowned man’s appearance caused everyone to be shocked. A large yin spirit flew out from him and split itself to become five small yin spirits. Five yin spirits made their move simultaneously. They instantly destroyed their heavenly dipper armor. When the bats latched themselves onto the five of them, their Qi disappeared even more frantically.

“It’s a yin spirit! You are from a demonic sect!” Seeing such a scene, the five of them were astonished. Instantly, they understood this person’s identity. Yin spirits were an extremely wicked object. The righteous sects would never touch them.

“Keke! So what if you know? All of you will become its offering!” The black gowned man laughed.

“Since it’s like that, even if I have to die, I will not let it happen!” This person knew that they were no longer able to escape. Now that the heavenly dipper armor on them had already been broken through and their Qi was more or less absorbed, he made a firm resolution as golden light surrounded his body as he prepared to self-detonate.
