Chapter 202: Finding Trouble (1/2)
Bang!
Jiang Li carried this fellow and collided with the edge of the coffin.
The huge force coupled with the collision caused the back of his head to explode with blood.
In the next second, the blood on the coffin directly seeped and disappeared. The Core Formation rogue cultivator in his hand suddenly started to wither and contract. All the blood and water was quickly lost. Two breaths later, only a wrinkled human skin was left sticking to the bones and completely dried up.
The power of the Earth-rank artifact, Yin Burial Coffin, had reached a completely new level. As long as it touched a single wound, even Core Formation cultivators would have their blood sucked dry in a short period of time.
Jiang Li shook the skeleton in his hand, and it rustled as he casually threw it into the coffin.
Although this guy was even weaker than the Golden Abacus Elder from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, he was still a Core Formation cultivator after all. In the future, he might be of use in research.
”Oh? There are still a few here. I'm in a good mood today. How do you want to die?”
Jiang Li looked at the remaining four desert bandits and asked for their opinion benevolently.
”Lord, please spare us! Let's go! We'll leave immediately!”
When the four desert bandits saw their boss being carried and killed like a chicken, their entire bodies trembled. They were almost frightened to death. How could they dare to resist? They directly turned around and ran.
However, as soon as Jiang Li patted the coffin, a black cloud surged out from within and chased after them.
When Jiang Li saw their clothes and heard their voices, he knew that they were not good people.
The place where they hunted cultivators was not far from this basin. Even though Jiang Li had not completely broken through at that time, he had already heard most of it with his hearing.
'Kill the men and leave the women behind.'
Such people deserved to die.
The four desert bandits tacitly fled in different directions, but the black cloud also split into four and chased after them at a much faster speed, enveloping all four of them.
The miserable scream only lasted for an instant before it stopped abruptly. There were only four clean bones left on the spot.
As the Yin Burial Coffin advanced, the million ghost soldiers inside also changed. They were monsters when fused and ghosts when separated, now known as the Soul Burial Ghost Soldiers.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators had no ability to resist these strange black clouds formed by the Soul Burial Ghost Soldiers.
After putting away the coffin, Jiang Li summoned the Wood Dragon and flew away.
The commotion when the Yin Burial Coffin appeared was indeed not small. Although the desert was desolate, it would definitely attract many cultivators.
In order to avoid these meaningless troubles, it was better to leave first.
Wood Dragon Rayquaza circled high in the sky. Layers of light began to light up on its thirty-meter-long dragon body. Powerful spiritual qi fluctuations extended all the way to the ferocious dragon head.
An intense bluish-black energy condensed and flickered at the dragon's mouth, finally turning into a straight pillar of light that descended and drew a large circle in the basin below. Then, a terrifying explosion enveloped the area where the pillar of light swept past.
After destroying the concealing array formation set up by the Nine Nether clone and removing the traces he left, Rayquaza waved its tail and shot into the distance.
Wood Dragon Rayquaza was engraved with a full set of runes of the same scale as the warship.
Although the Wood Dragon was only equivalent to the Foundation Establishment realm, its runes were still so powerful that even Core Formation cultivators could not stand against it.
This was especially true for the Dragon Roar Cannon that was transferred from the bow of the ship. Under the condition that the spiritual qi supply was endless, the power of the energy pillar was simply terrifying.
At that time, the flying ship cannon of the Scripture Storage Valley could kill a Golden Core zombie demon in one strike. Now, Wood Dragon Rayquaza was carrying the offensive method of the warship series.
If one was hit, even a Golden Core cultivator would definitely not be able to endure it.
Moreover, Jiang Li was quite concerned about this first demon that he had awakened. He was gradually replacing its core with the Nine Nether Wood.
As long as he completed this step, this wooden dragon's future would be limitless. It might really be able to compare to a True Dragon in the future.
After Jiang Li left the desert region, he was just about to return to the sect to report the good news to his master when his communication spirit stone rang at this moment.
After picking up the call, he realized that this communication spirit stone was the one from the Nine Nether clone, and the person who contacted him was actually the female ghost, Qin Shuman.
Something had happened at Green Mountain Residence.
...
Nightless City, high-end spiritual qi community, Green Mountain Residence.
Bang!
An old man suddenly slapped the table, shattering the precious golden wood furniture.
”Hmph! Where did your master, Green Mountain Ascetic, go? He hasn't returned in three days. He doesn't even respect our City Lord!”
In front of him were the masked Elder of the Hundred Tempering Mountain and the female ghost, Qin Shuman.
”Sir Lu Fu, my master is currently in seclusion and is unable to receive guests. Please return and wait for a few days. My master will naturally pay a visit.”
The Nine Nether clone was taken away by Jiang Li to assist in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, leaving Qin Shuman and the Hundred Tempering Mountain Elder to look after Green Mountain Residence. They did not expect that something would really happen after leaving for a few days.
”Hmph! Seclusion? My Miss Qingdai has met with an accident here, and Green Mountain Ascetic is actually still in seclusion! You must give me an explanation today!”
The old man called Lu Fu was the housekeeper of the Nightless City's City Lord's Mansion. Cultivators like him, who had abandoned their original names and took on their master's surname, were the best lackeys.
Today, Lu Fu came to question them on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion.
”Miss Lu's matter is not the fault of our Green Mountain Residence. Even if it's the City Lord's Mansion, don't go too far!”
Being questioned by a lackey, Qin Shuman could not help but step forward and argue with him.
However, in the cultivation world, the communication between cultivators was not equal. Before reasoning, one had to first match their status and cultivation.
In the eyes of the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Shuman was only a female ghost. How could she be worthy of talking to him?
”How dare you! Who do you think you are! A mere ghost dares to spout nonsense!”
”The people of your Green Mountain Residence don't dare to show your true faces and even hide evil spirits. I think you're not good people!”
”Alright! I'll kill you first before settling the score with your master!”
Relying on the backing of the City Lord of the Nightless City, this old man did not think much of the Green Mountain Residence at all.
He did not show any mercy the moment he entered. With this disagreement, he actually wanted to directly kill Qin Shuman.
The old man's hand turned into a claw as a jade ring on his thumb erupted with intense energy fluctuations and pressed towards Qin Shuman. Clearly, he did not hold back.
The Core Formation cultivator from the Hundred Tempering Mountain hurriedly took two steps to stand in front of Qin Shuman. In Green Mountain Residence, although his cultivation level was temporarily the highest, the person in charge was actually Qin Shuman.
If something happened to Qin Shuman, he would be finished.
Boom!
A huge impact spread out, and the explosive airflow blew the hall into chaos. The wooden building built with a spell was also on the verge of collapse, and several cracks appeared.
However, after the dust settled, the two of them were not injured.
The moment the elder attacked, a small tree grew out from the ground and obstructed the path of the ring, completely blocking the attack.
”Who do you want to kill?”
Outside the door, a green clothed figure walked in. Earlier, it was Jiang Li who controlled his Nine Nether clone to obstruct the other party.
Jiang Li did not expect that the other party would actually be so arrogant and directly attack in his territory!
”Hmph, you're Green Mountain Ascetic? Since you're here, come back with me and seek forgiveness from City Lord Lu!”
The old man still acted as if it was only natural. He felt that in the Nightless City, a rogue cultivator who did not belong to any sect could not disobey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion.
