Chapter 164: Violent Master (1/2)
The cracks on the golden light membrane quickly spread under Jiang Li's heavy fist. The Core Formation cultivator still wanted to activate his artifact to restore the light barrier, but it was already too late!
Bang!
The thin screen of light shattered abruptly. Jiang Li's fist that revealed pale white bones finally came into contact with his opponent's body, as it struck his stomach, the entire fist became dislocated from the wrist.
The physical strength of a Core Formation cultivator was far from what an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could compare to, but under Jiang Li's fist, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
”Wait… wait a minute… I…”
The powerful Core Formation realm cultivator was instantly awakened by this punch. His fury and killing intent immediately turned to fear.
He was just about to ask for mercy when Jiang Li punched him in the chest again.
”It's not over yet!”
Jiang Li did not intend to give the other party a chance to beg for mercy. Four vines suddenly stretched out from his back and wrapped around the other party's limbs. Then, the vines tightened, pulling the two of them together until they were only an arm's length apart.
The Core Formation realm cultivator from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion was pulled by the vines and could not even fly back. In the next moment, fists rained down on him.
The intense pain instantly swept through his entire body, soon turning into numbness. He lost all feeling in his body, and the skin, flesh, bones, and even internal organs were suffering the continuous destruction of the terrifying force.
There was only the Void Core left, firmly protecting his soul in his body. Otherwise, with such a barrage of fists, his soul would have dissipated already.
Jiang Li's final punch struck the other party's eye socket, and the few bones that formed the eye socket shattered directly. The eyeball was filled with blood and deformed, and it was almost smashed by the punch.
The powerful body of the Core Formation cultivator softened like a rag!
The Core Formation cultivator whose name he still did not know until now had finally been defeated by Jiang Li's iron fist.
At this point, Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Core Formation cultivators were indeed in the Core Formation realm. They were really very strong.
There was a considerable gap between the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and those under it.
His opponent was only at the Void Core stage of the Core Formation realm, and he was just an ordinary cultivator who was not good at fighting in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. Even so, he still caused such a huge pressure on Jiang Li.
Before the start of the competition, Jiang Li's overall combat strength had already been at the top of the Foundation Establishment realm, and he had obtained the third place in the sect martial arts competition.
After arriving at the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm, Jiang Li had gone into seclusion to cultivate and consume the Earth Fruits. Later on, during the battle, he had also swallowed a Golden Core and burned his blood essence.
In a short period of time, Jiang Li relied on his previous accumulation to greatly increase his strength three times in a row before he finally defeated an opponent of this level.
The difference in his strength before and after this increase was extremely large.
When he fought against Foundation Establishment cultivators, the few blood tattoos he had were enough to beat them. It was not as difficult as today's fight.
It could be seen that the further one went on the path of cultivation, the greater the gap between realms would be.
If the other party's cultivation was a little stronger, such as having reached the True Core stage, Jiang Li would probably have no choice but to release his Nine Nether clone to save him.
Jiang Li cautiously checked again. Only after discovering that the other party had completely lost consciousness did he withdraw his fist.
The feeling of his fists hitting on solid flesh was indeed stimulating. It was much more comfortable than hitting a defensive membrane. The flesh on his hand had already healed.
He used the vines to carry the other party and released the Dragon Imprisoning Lock from the coffin to tie him up. Only then did he pull the dying guy to the ground.
”Master!”
As soon as he landed, Huangfu Tai took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully.
At his feet, the two Foundation Establishment realm cultivators who had just been sent flying by Jiang Li were also tied up and thrown there.
This fellow understood Jiang Li's thoughts quite well.
After throwing the Core Formation cultivators in his hands to the ground, Jiang Li took out three spiritual root seeds from the coffin and fed them.
These three spiritual root seeds did not have much cultivation base, but they had been injected with a lot of wood attribute vitality that could help quickly recover from injuries.
He might have some use for them.
...
A few minutes later, in a forest in the inner region of the Misty Mountain Region, a crimson bolt of lightning rose into the sky.
After passing through the fog, a light source appeared in the sky.
The fog covered area of the Misty Mountain Range was, after all, for the sake of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm. It was naturally impossible to prevent sunlight from entering. Therefore, although the fog and clouds in the sky were thick, the effect of blocking light was actually one-sided.
The scene inside could not be seen from the outside, but inside the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm, one could clearly see the sky above.
At this moment, the lightning cracker emitted a red glow in the sky, instantly attracting the gazes of many people.
This was especially true for those cultivators on the platform of the Grand Competition. All of them saw it and quickly noticed the abnormality.
This lightning cracker was a special model of the competition authority, so it was quickly recognized.
This kind of signal was usually used to seek help, and the special lightning cracker was only distributed to a few disciples of the large sects.
This meant that a disciple of a large sect was requesting help!
The big shots of the various sects who were watching the battle looked at each other's expressions. Clearly, they did not look happy.
These old fellows had not died yet, but someone dared to touch their juniors right under their noses!
Under such a grand occasion, there was actually someone who dared to commit evil. If this matter was not dealt with severely, it would not intimidate those people with ill intentions. When the disciples went out in the future, they would be completely bullied by these rogue cultivators!
Without any words, more than a hundred spiritual lights flew towards the direction of the signal. Under each ray of light, there were existences that even Jiang Li could not match.
On the Scripture Storage Valley's side, Elder He, who was leading the team, felt uncomfortable after not exercising for a long time. He let the two masters of the Hall of Rejuvenation and the Foreign Affairs Hall stand guard while he brought Chu Yunxuan along and also transformed into a stream of light.
Dozens of sects and hundreds of spiritual lights appeared outside the forest one after another.
Then, they saw a figure with tattered clothes running through the air towards the outer area of the forest.
Behind him, four figures pursued relentlessly.
The leader in the rear even threw out artifacts at the fleeing figure from time to time. It was obvious that he had strong killing intent.
”It's Junior Brother Jiang Li!”
”Damn you! Do you think you can bully our Scripture Storage Valley's disciple? Square Heaven Seal!”
After seeing Jiang Li, Chu Yunxuan changed his usual calm and humble appearance. He shook his hand and threw out a golden square seal.
The golden seal was extremely swift, and it brushed past Jiang Li who was flying ahead. After that, its size suddenly rose explosively, and it smashed towards the people behind him.
Jiang Li was running when he was suddenly shocked by the terrifying might that erupted from behind.
Even though he was not the target and had not been locked onto, he still felt a strong threat despite being so close. His hair stood on end and he instinctively wanted to stay away from the golden seal.
The four 'good friends' behind him were not so lucky. From the strongest Core Formation realm cultivator to the weakest Huangfu Tai, they were all enveloped in the attack range.
They wanted to escape, but it was not that simple.
If the Square Heaven Seal was only used to smash people, how could it be considered the ultimate technique of the Scripture Storage Valley?
If one practiced it to the limit, under the envelopment of the Square Heaven Seal, even heaven and earth would be locked down. There would be no place to escape!
Chu Yunxuan's Square Heaven Seal was naturally not so powerful, but it was virtually impossible for ordinary cultivators to escape from his seal.
The three people with weaker cultivation levels were bound and oppressed by an invisible force at this moment. They stood on the spot and were practically unable to move a finger.
Only the Void Core realm cultivator could move slightly. He bitterly raised his golden abacus and waited for death.
Even Jiang Li could only mourn for them as he looked at the golden seal and felt sorry for his spiritual root seed.
However, the golden light reflected by the raised abacus attracted the attention of two of the cultivators.
They were naturally the two big shots of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.
When they saw the Spiritual Calculation Golden Abacus that only the Immortal Ascension Pavilion's elders could possess, they already felt that something was amiss. Then, they saw the weak Qi Refinement cultivator flying at the back.
Both of their expressions turned ugly.
Oh no! Why did this Young Master Huangfu come here to participate!
Without any time to think, the two of them hurriedly attacked, intending to stop the terrifying golden seal.
The two figures crossed the distance in an instant and caught up to the golden seal.
