Chapter 170: Decisive Slaying

170. Chapter 170 Decisive Slaying

Wei Wufeng naturally also noticed the skirmish here; when Character: Liyang True Immortal unleashed his full aura, he was greatly shocked.

If, the last time he challenged Character: Liyang True Immortal, the opponent had possessed today's peak strength, he would never have dared to seek revenge again.

"What kind of treasure or secret technique could temporarily restore his damaged primordial Golden Core?"

Wei Wufeng could hardly believe it, but now nothing could be done by mere thought; the bow had already been released with no arrow to turn back.

The only solution now is to drag Character: Liyang True Immortal's fleeting peak state forward, making him weak again.

Although it is unknown how Character: Liyang True Immortal overdraws his potential to return to the peak.

But it can be foreseen that he cannot maintain this state for long.

Once the opponent falls from the peak, his injuries will inevitably worsen.

Then, he may not even have mid Core Formation strength, becoming a lamb awaiting slaughter!

Of course...

If he and Zhu Jian True Immortal cannot drag the opponent into weakness, the unlucky ones will be the two of them!

"Zhu Jian Dao Companion, I will aid you!"

Wei Wufeng's original target was Gu Zongyuan, the newly promoted Core Formation cultivator.

Although Gu Zongyuan has been Golden Core for less than a month, his cultivation ranks him as the 'weakest' among Core Formation cultivators, essentially no different from a pseudo Golden Core cultivator.

However, Gu Zongyuan's Golden Core is of exceptionally high quality, and even his nascent Golden Core power can rival many long‑practiced early Core Formation cultivators.

Moreover, he commands a squad of Character: Liyang Guard forming a battle formation to cooperate with him, so Gu Zongyuan's actual combat power can match that of an ordinary mid Core Formation True Immortal, posing a huge threat; aside from him, others are unlikely to be opponents.

Now there's no choice; he must first help Zhu Jian True Immortal.

Boom! The earth‑colored giant seal Magic Treasure was summoned again, crushing toward Character: Liyang True Immortal like Mount Tai pressing down, while Wei Wufeng wielded a thunder‑bearing giant axe and slashed fiercely.

Both Magic Treasures are of extremely high quality, emitting dazzling light, and possessing both binding and lethal effects.

Although neither has reached late Golden Core, combined they are such that even most late Foundation Establishment cultivators would not take them lightly and must find ways to avoid their edge.

But Character: Liyang True Immortal, wielding the Great Sun Circular Ring Magic Treasure, casually collided with it; the immense force and scorching fireworks made the earth‑rich giant seal Magic Treasure wobble, its massive mountain‑like momentum quickly waned and its light dimmed. As for the thunder‑wrapped giant axe that swung, behind Character: Liyang True Immortal seemed a flaming giant bird lightly beating its wings, stirring a blaze‑filled gale that blew the axe back, even the axe head appeared still wrapped in flames, burning crimson.

Completely on a different level.

"No need to fear! That old brute is at the end of his strong bow, he can't hold out long!"

Wei Wufeng, though terrified to the core and already feeling a hint of fear, forced himself to rally his spirit and bolster Zhu Jian True Immortal's confidence.

In fact, he was overthinking.

Today Zhu Jian True Immortal's killing intent is no less than his, and he is even more willing.

While Wei Wufeng stalled Character: Liyang True Immortal for a moment, Zhu Jian True Immortal swallowed a Pill; the tremendous and strange Pill power unfolded within, instantly boosting their magical power a level, causing their aura to truly ascend to the late Core Formation stage.

"Wei Dao Companion, if you wish to avenge your father, stop holding back and treat it as a life‑or‑death battle!"

Zhu Jian True Immortal said coldly.

Wei Wufeng's eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but it was quickly replaced by decisiveness and ruthlessness; he also stuffed a Pill into his mouth, and his aura surged a notch, with strands of blood qi entwining his magical power.

As a steward of the Dan Dao Alliance, he naturally possessed a treasure pill that temporarily boosts strength.

However, this treasure pill is not only costly, it leaves the user weakened after use, and most importantly it subtly affects future cultivation, limiting achievements.

He would not use it unless in a desperate situation.

"Kill!"

The two, their strength soaring, each brandished their implements and charged at Character: Liyang True Immortal.

Although they also forced a state boost by taking treasure pills, they were uninjured and would surely endure longer than Character: Liyang True Immortal!

As long as they hold on, the eventual loser will be the opponent! Gu Zongyuan led eighteen Character: Liyang Guard, intending to go over and relieve his master Character: Liyang True Immortal's pressure, when Guang Qin True Immortal stepped before him, "My good junior brother, today let senior brother assess you, see what skill you truly have that makes that old brute favor you so much."

"You despicable traitor! Get out of my way!" Gu Zongyuan fully summoned his Golden Core magical power, the battle formation augmenting it; his life‑destined spear Magic Treasure, which he wields effortlessly at Foundation Establishment Perfection, roared like a swimming dragon as it lunged.

Guang Qin True Immortal's words were laced with mockery, yet his hand dared no contempt; he wielded a magical sword, sweeping up a massive blade storm to intercept the flaming spear.

……

Puff! Puff! After Wei Wufeng and Zhu Jian True Immortal took the pills, they forcibly boosted their combat power by a large margin, originally believing that together they could stall Character: Liyang True Immortal, using a wear‑down tactic to force his old wounds to flare up.

But as the fight went on, the two felt something was off, completely different from their expectations! Now both were almost comparable to late Core Formation cultivators; logically, together they should be able to contend with Character: Liyang True Immortal even in his peak for a long time.

Yet at this moment Character: Liyang True Immortal still crushed the two; in less than the time of an incense stick, both were seriously wounded, their magical power unstable, even their Magic Treasures nearly ruined in the clash! "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Even if that old Character: Liyang dog isn't injured, at his peak he wasn't this strong, was he? How does he seem to have already achieved Core Formation Perfection?"

Wei Wufeng gasped heavily, the terror in his eyes unable to be suppressed.

Zhu Jian True Immortal, once steadfast, became hesitant; his voice slightly trembling, "He has persisted too long, not looking like he's seriously wounded! In such fierce combat, he shows no sign of fatigue!"

Wei Wufeng stared dumbfounded, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that Character: Liyang old dog isn't injured and his previous wounds were a ruse? Impossible! Even if he deceived me last duel, he can't fool…"

Just as the two were uncertain, Character: Liyang True Immortal's figure, floating mid‑air, flickered; his tremendous magical power surged erratically, seemingly hard to fully control, and his complexion turned a few shades paler.

Zhu Jian True Immortal shouted, "That old brute is forcing it, trying to make us fear and flee! Cunning as ever, we must not fall for his trick!"

Wei Wufeng gritted his teeth, nodded, and shouted, "What a treacherous old dog, almost fell for you! You will die today!"

Then the two erupted again, charging into a frenzied battle.

Character: Liyang True Immortal's severe injuries are indisputable, witnessed firsthand, with no falsehood.

Thus they believe Character: Liyang True Immortal is now at the end of his strong bow, forcing a hold.

"Even if I die, you two must cover my back!"

Character: Liyang True Immortal's face pale, he barely restrained the surging magical power, wielding his Magic Treasure to crush the two again. This repeated; Zhu Jian True Immortal and Wei Wufeng attempted retreat several times, but seeing Character: Liyang True Immortal also seemed at his limit, they forced a stubborn hold.

Finally!

Wei Wufeng, whose cultivation foundation was a notch weaker, was the first to lose his footing; his magical power sharply declined, and he could no longer control the floating giant seal Magic Treasure, which let out a whimper as it reverted to its original form, and Wei Wufeng was about to retrieve it.

But just then, the seemingly frail Character: Liyang True Immortal let out a sudden roar, his aura once again reached Perfection, like at his peak, manifesting a massive flaming palm that seized it.

"Stay!"

Character: Liyang True Immortal lowly roared, and no matter how the earth‑colored giant seal struggled, it was firmly trapped and drawn to his side.

Then a technique was released, completely suppressing the seal and storing it in the storage bag.

The Magic Treasure was forcibly suppressed and taken away; Wei Wufeng spat a mouthful of blood, his fury blazing, yet his eyes could not hide the overwhelming terror.

He no longer believed that Character: Liyang the True Immortal was seriously injured; it was already the last gasp of a strong bow.

That old dog is definitely acting! From the start he never got hurt; it was a complete bait! Even if Character: Liyang the True Immortal now pretends to be weak, even if everyone tells him this man will die in a moment, he will not persist any longer.

Escape! That was the only thought left in Wei Wufeng's mind.

Character: Liyang the True Immortal not only was unharmed, but his strength had even increased compared to before, already reaching Core Formation Perfection! The fact that the opponent could snatch his Magic Treasure and forcibly suppress it is ironclad proof.

This is certainly not something a late Core Formation cultivator, gravely wounded and on the brink of death, could achieve.

Unfortunately, when he realized it and tried to flee, the chance had already slipped away.

Without the seal's restraining power, Character: Liyang the True Immortal moved even more freely, conjuring a Long Rope Magic Treasure that shone brilliantly, slithering through space like a poisonous snake; in the blink of an eye it reached Wei Wufeng and coiled around him as he tried to turn and run.

Wei Wufeng's mind and spirit were on the verge of collapse; he frantically summoned the remaining Qi in his body to tear the rope apart, but he was all will and no strength.

As Character: Liyang the True Immortal gestured, the rope tightened like a venomous snake, binding him tightly and pulling him to Character: Liyang's side.

Feeling the scorching flames and Character: Liyang the True Immortal's unabashed murderous intent, Wei Wufeng's soul trembled, finally sensing death drawing near, and he shouted in terror, "Character: Liyang True Immortal, you dare kill me? I am a steward of the Dan Dao Alliance! Kill me, and Character: Liyang Zhenren City will surely be destroyed! You will have nowhere to run!"

"Then wait until the Dan Dao Alliance sends a Nascent Soul True Lord to hunt me down," Character: Liyang the True Immortal said coldly, gripping a technique and materializing a flaming long sword, slashing toward Wei Wufeng's head.

"No, no, no! Spare me! Senior Character: Liyang, I beg you, spare me, I will never dare again… Ha!"

Before Wei Wufeng could finish speaking, his head was cut off by the flaming long sword and flung into the air.

At the same time, third‑tier superior flames, like maggots clinging to bone, seared Wei Wufeng's corpse, and his soul was utterly extinguished.

"Character: Liyang… Character: Liyang Dao Companion, such profound thoughts!"

Zhu Jian the True Immortal watched the scene with a mixture of shock and anger.

He also came to his senses at that moment, understanding what had happened.

In today's battle, they thought they were besieging Character: Liyang the True Immortal, but they did not realize that Character: Liyang was deliberately luring them to their deaths!

Whether Character: Liyang the True Immortal injured his Golden Core a year ago is no longer important.

Perhaps he was injured, but he has already recovered by some unknown method; or perhaps he was never hurt at all, and the intelligence was wrong.

Character: Liyang the True Immortal never publicly announced his recovery; instead he watched the rumors spread, unfavorable news about him filling the air, countless enemies gathering and rubbing their fists.

He watched all of it calmly.

His purpose was to wipe them out in one net.

To slay every schemer who covets him or Character: Liyang Zhenren City!

Today it was not a plot against Character: Liyang the True Immortal; it was a trap set by Character: Liyang for them!

Killing Character: Liyang the True Immortal was already impossible; Zhu Jian the True Immortal knew that if he did not escape, his fate would likely be terrible.

But she could not escape; Character: Liyang the True Immortal's primordial Magic Treasure, shaped like a great sun ring, had already trapped her completely within a fiery space.

If, at the start of the fight, her Qi had been abundant, a full‑force strike might have broken the prison and let her escape. But now she is already very weak; the effect of the cultivation‑boosting elixir has almost worn off, and her current condition is worse than usual.

She could not possibly break through the confinement methods of a late Core Formation, even a Core Formation Perfection cultivator.

So she did not flee; she chose to lay her cards on the table.

She halted her sword light, her Qi circulated, a misty hue spread over her body, and she swiftly altered her appearance and aura, becoming another person in the blink of an eye.

This person was no longer the mysterious, virtually unknown, unseen Zhu Jian the True Immortal of the Da Yu Cultivation World.

Instead, she was a renowned late Core Formation cultivator in the Da Yu Cultivation World, a Core Formation elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect—Bi Yu! Her standing in the Seven Star Sword Sect was high enough to rank among the top ten.

She revealed her true form, naturally hoping to use the Seven Star Sword Sect's name to deter Character: Liyang the True Immortal from striking her.

She knew Character: Liyang the True Immortal's murderous intent was extreme now; even a Dan Dao Alliance steward would not blink an eye when killing, clearly showing no intention to show mercy.

However.

The Dan Dao Alliance's face can be forfeited.

After all, the Dan Dao Alliance's headquarters is not in the Da Yu Cultivation World; the death of a steward will cause anger, but it may not actually dispatch a Nascent Soul True Lord to the Da Yu Cultivation World for revenge.

Moreover, a Nascent Soul True Lord holds a very high position and will not be easily ordered around.

Now that Demon Sect Evil Cultivators have invaded, the situation is unclear, and an external Nascent Soul True Lord would be even less likely to intervene, given the risk of entering the fray.

But… the Seven Star Sword Sect is different.

If she dies today in Character: Liyang Zhenren City, the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of the Seven Star Sword Sect would personally flatten Character: Liyang Zhenren City and take Character: Liyang the True Immortal's head from his neck!

In the Da Yu Cultivation World, the authority of the two major Nascent Soul sects tolerates no provocation.

Even though Character: Liyang the True Immortal is the top Scattered Cultivator of the Da Yu Cultivation World and has now almost achieved Core Formation Perfection, he is no exception! (End of chapter)
