Chapter 368 (2/2)

The strongest cultivator didn't seem perturbed by his allies' demise. He was able to see the big picture as he threw his spear clad in demonic energies towards Zhang Dong. This spear burst forth with purple energy and turned into a serpent composed of this dastardly Qi.

Zhang Dong moved his sword to intercept this attack. Spear met sword and a resounding boom filled the area. He found himself retreating a few steps while the spear rebounded back to its master.

He was then met with a pincer attack from four sides which he evaded thanks to his moving technique. The spot that the four Saint Emperors struck now contained an afterimage that discharged a holy energy-charged jolt of electricity.

While the ones that dived in for the kill first were affected by this some of them continued their chase. The area around here began being filled with holes and bursts of energy as the fight continued.

The party of five found themselves unable to gain the upper hand even after several exchanges between the two occurred. Soon all five found themselves on one side while the white-haired Zhang Dong with his bloodied sword was on the other side.

While dodging he didn't remain passive, his weapon delivering punishment to his enemies that were out of position. Their clothes told a tale of who was winning, while Zhang Dong's white clothes were without a blemish his opponents found themselves with sliced-up robes.

”S-senior, this Renegade cultivator is formidable, we might have to retreat for now…”

The four Saint Emperors that were clearly used as cannon fodder by the one above them looked drained. Their wounds only increased while their opponent seemed to be able to see through their attacks.

”I have no quarrel with you, do you really want to die just for some poultry resources that you can just regain with time?”

Zhang Dong shouted out while glowing in his usual golden color. His aura was very confusing to these five cultivators as they had never met someone in the core formation realm.

It was clear to him that these people here didn't come from one sect. Their robes were different and their fighting techniques also differed. There was no unity among them, facing a stronger opponent was only possible with good teamwork which they clearly lacked.

It seemed that the four lesser Saint Emperors were considering the proposition but their 'leader' just seemed more enraged by this proposal.

”Poultry resources? Do you even know how far back you set us back!”

”Is that so? How about this then, I'll reimburse you for your losses.”

”Will you give us back the spirit stones you stole?”

”Well, I didn't say that I would use spirit stones, I might have something even better…”

With that being said Zhang Dong pulled out a booklet that he promptly tossed over towards the five cultivators. They were quickly taken aback by this gesture and their leader used his aura to hold this booklet away from the group out of fear of it being some kind of trick.

”What is this? How will this make up for our lost resources?”

”Oh, you don't want the Saint Emperor level Demonic Ashura palm? It's just a pinnacle grade palm technique.”

”Pinnacle grade?”

While eyeballing Zhang Dong from afar the leader of the group opened up the booklet. Even from afar all of them could see what was written there and as they continued to read so did their eyes start to get bigger.

”T-this is…”

”It looks authentic… everything written there … how magnificent…”

To masters of this level, it was easy to see a gem like this cultivation method. After a few glances, they could tell that it was the real article. It didn't take much to make these cultivator nuts look at things with hunger in their eyes.

”You see, could you even buy such a technique with those poultry spirit stones and treasures that I took?”

Zhang Dong gave out a grin while yanking the book back towards his own hand. The four old cultivators looked at the technique with hunger in their eyes. Then with a pristine pitching form, he threw the book into the stratosphere.

”If you want it, then go get it!”

With that, he bolted in the opposite direction leaving the group to decide on what was more important.
