Chapter 240: Making a Fortune From War (1/2)

Five figures spat out blood and flew in all directions. They were caught unprepared by the sneak attack from behind.

Situ Baige had Golden Core cultivation while Ma Changgu's cultivation was at the True Core stage.

The two of them were the two strongest captives Jiang Li had captured alive in the Hundred Tempering Mountain battle.

However, Jiang Li was kind-hearted and had always treated his captives well. Not only did he not torture them, he even gave them each a Nine Nether Earth Fruit.

These two elders of the Hundred Tempering Mountain also deeply felt Alliance Leader Jiang's kindness. They kowtowed and stopped thinking about other things.

After knowing that Jiang Li was going to pursue the fleeing convoy of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, they even ”took the initiative” to find their past allies and help them to turn over a new leaf.

Situ Etong and the other five Golden Cores did not expect that the two elders of the same sect and clan would harm them.

Even if the way these two appeared was a little strange, they did not think too much about it.

Seeing the fake injuries on their bodies, they immediately protected the two of them.

However, in the end, Situ Etong got heavily injured.

”Who are you!” Situ Etong spoke angrily.

However, even until now, he still did not think that these two Elders had betrayed him. He thought that someone had used a brilliant method to deceive them.

”Who am I? Brother Situ will know soon!”

The two of them rushed forward, not afraid of the other party at all.

The five Hundred Tempering Mountain Golden Cores faced the enemy angrily. However, it was obvious that in their anger, they ignored the existence of other enemies around them.

Swoosh!

A long black light tore through the air. It was so fast that even Golden Core cultivators could not react in time.

The two Golden Core cultivators were swept up by the black light and could no longer move.

When the black light revealed its true form, it was a pitch-black chain. It was the first artifact that Jiang Li had never left his body and was always wrapped around his waist, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

However, the speed of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was its weakness to begin with. This time, how could it be so fast that even Golden Core cultivators could not react?

It turned out that one end of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was tightly connected to a flying sword that had no handle.

It was precisely this extremely fast flying sword that allowed the Dragon Imprisoning Lock to have such speed.

When Jiang Li was forging the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword back then, he specially left a ring on the empty hilt in order to connect it to the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

At this moment, the effect did not disappoint him.

The Dragon Imprisoning Lock's suppression effect was activated. The two dignified Golden Cores could not even maintain their flight. They were swaying and extremely weak.

Jiang Li, who was still hiding in the shadows, formed hand seals and the two of them were pulled into the depths of the forest by the vines that stretched out from the forest.

Medicine Elder Ma Minglou still wanted to save them, but before he could, he was almost swept away by the forest that had already transformed into the Nine Nether Tree Realm.

If not for the fact that his poison pills were powerful and killed many plants, he would not have been able to escape from the dense attacks.

At this moment, a large area of the forest had already come alive. The Core Formation elders leading the group could barely protect themselves.

The large number of low-level cultivators in the convoy could not resist at all in front of the branches and vines that covered the sky and earth.

Large numbers of disciples were dragged into the Nine Nether Tree Realm and thrown into the coffin.

Even the 29 Core Formation elders did not last long.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword that was free did not look for trouble with the Golden Core elders. Instead, it surrounded them and launched sneak attacks.

Now, the speed of the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword was basically dependent on Jiang Li's thinking speed.

If this was a Golden Core cultivator, their thinking speed would be on the same level as Jiang Li's. Although their speed could not keep up, they could still contend with him.

However, True Core and Void Core cultivators were indeed inferior.

Under the flickering sword lights, the protective light membranes on their bodies were almost as useless as paper. They were easily penetrated by the sword lights. Then, blood splattered as holes appeared on their bodies.

Jiang Li did not injure their vital points. The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword only pierced through their bodies repeatedly until they lost most of their combat strength and were dragged away by the tree realm weakly.

1… 2… 3… 10… 20…

Under Jiang Li's attack, they were almost desperate and helpless.

On the most intense Golden Core battlefield, Situ Etong was leading the remaining two Golden Core cultivators to pursue Situ Baige and Ma Changgu.

The three of them had the advantage in numbers and cultivation.

However, due to the previous sneak attack, Situ Tong and the others had already suffered considerable injuries.

Not only did their combat strength decrease, but there was also densely packed Nine Nether Tree Realm obstructing them.

Not to mention chasing after the enemy, they were almost unable to move at all.

Jiang Li's subordinates, Situ Baige and Ma Changgu, only delayed for time, and it seemed to be extremely easy.

With the three Golden Core cultivators dragged here, the pressure on the Nine Nether Tree Realm would naturally be even lower.

Not long after, when the three of them stopped while panting, there were no other disciples around.

Even the spirit colt carriages had completely disappeared.

As the descendants of the two clans meant to make a comeback in the Hundred Tempering Mountain, they were all dragged away under their noses.

”Who are you! Who are you!”

”Stop hiding! Come out! When has my Hundred Tempering Mountain ever offended you! Why did you attack my sect's convoy!”

Situ Etong and the remaining three Golden Cores had ugly expressions.

These thousand descendants were the last of the bloodline of the Situ Clan and Ma Clan!

If they were all gone, how could they face their ancestors?

Could they rely on these old fellows to reproduce and expand the bloodline?

”Look at you, why are you still cursing?”

”I'm afraid you'll regret offending your boss in the future.”

Jiang Li's figure slowly emerged from a huge tree and looked down at them from above.

After obtaining the Heavenly Dao's Merit Blessing, Jiang Li's Nine Nether Tree Realm's expenditure became smaller, its range was larger, and its might was stronger.

In fact, in this jungle terrain, the expenditure was even smaller.

The probability of the three injured Golden Core cultivators escaping was really not high.

”You are… Jiang Li of the Scripture Storage Valley?”

”So it's the Scripture Storage Valley! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to appear in front of us like this. You're really courting death!”

Situ Etong still wanted to take a gamble. If he could capture Jiang Li, they might be able to escape.

He crushed a black pill in his hand, and then his poisonous palm suddenly grabbed towards Jiang Li.

This poisonous pill was also very vicious. If one was struck by it, even a Golden Core cultivator would definitely falter.

However, Jiang Li sneered and felt disdain towards Situ Etong's methods.
