Chapter 359 (2/2)

There was also more, the pendant that he used to activate the poison started glowing as well. Soon he found himself throwing it into the air before it burst into tiny fragments, destroyed before his eyes.

”My nine hydra poison pendant, how could it be affected from this far away!”

”You should be fine now, how do you feel?”

”I feel… I feel great, my hip pain has also gone away…”

The old man stood up on his own two feet and his face looked quite rosy. Zhang Dong was a bit surprised at the potency of his own healing arts. Previously he needed to use needles to insert his holy energies into the correct acupuncture spots but now it seemed that he wouldn't need to do that anymore.

The golden core that he made had all of his healing Dao inside of it. Thanks to it being a whole separate core it wasn't as limited. Then there was his lightning core which looked more similar to the one that he had before he ascended to the nascent soul realm.

It could be just regular lightning as well as golden. There was no drop in power whatsoever and using both at once was also not a problem. Then there was the translucent soul core which was the biggest mystery.

From what he could tell, he could also add it to his lightning attacks. He needed to test it first but he was sure that when he added the soul core he would be able to damage the soul directly.

This would prove quite good against any nascent soul cultivator. They would probably not be able to use their nascent divinity to escape any fights as his attacks would damage it directly. Then there were the phantom and ghost-type enemies that would also not pose a threat.

”Great, then stay here.”

Zhang Dong nodded as he could see the patient had recovered. He turned around and looked to the three Supreme Saints in the distance.

”Great Ancestor, let this Tengfei help you!”

With his health being recovered the old man was now also at the level of these three. From what Zhang Dong could tell the was a little bit stronger.

”No need, just protect your sect members, leave the punching bags to me.”

”Punching bags, great ancestor?”

Zhang Dong nodded while strutting forward. His body flew forward at a great spread which caused the three cultivators to take out defensive positions.

”Hey you three stooges, let's take this somewhere less populated.”

He shouted out while charging forward, the three cultivators reacted by putting up a barrier which was quickly broken by Zhang Dong's charge.

The closest old man was promptly kicked in the stomach and sent flying into the distance. The other two were grasped by the necks and yanked. Soon the three vanished from the area in a matter of seconds leaving both sides stunned. The leftover silence was then broken by the Hall Patriarch.

”What are you doing? Don't you see that we have the Great Ancestor on our side! Defend the sect, their beasts are weakened, their formations are nothing, defend the Hall!”

The old man's shout invigorated the large gathering of lightning cultivators. They just witnessed a powerful ally easily removing the three strongest combatants from the board. This was the best moment for a counterattack.

Everyone nodded and soon they also charged into battle. The charge was led by the Hall Patriarch that now with the disappearance of the sect leaders was the strongest person here. He quickly picked up the trident that he had dropped, even if it was unable to use the tower's might it was still a powerful weapon.

Zhang Dong could hear the shouts behind him and wanted to give out a sigh. He wished to minimize the bloodshed but it seemed that his new friends were still battle-happy cultivators. Even though he would be fine if they just turtled up until he returned they were going on the offensive.

”This should be far enough.”

With another kick the middle stooge found himself forming a crater in the ground. The two men that he was holding up by the neck were also thrown to the ground and bounced around it like stringless puppets.

”Hm, maybe I expected a bit more from you three…”

At first, he thought that he was just a little bit stronger than these three but this didn't seem like it was the case. He was still only an early stage core formation cultivator but his might was approaching the nascent soul level.

”You cur, how dare you do this to me… I will eat your soul.”

The man that he had kicked repeatedly while flying here finally floated back up into the sky. Previously he was wearing some kind of mask but now it had fallen off and was showing his ghoulish features.

”You sure you don't mean sole? You were eating it quite a bit back there.”

”Ying never told me anything about this, if we survive you better pay up.”

”I apologize brothers, I did not expect someone like that to be in that sect but together we can kill him!”

The three finally recovered enough to float up around him. They surrounded him in a triangle formation. The ugly demonic cultivators burst forth with evil energies while chanting, it was finally time
