Chapter 398: Surprise Attack

When agreeing to Ruan Yuansheng's proposal, Yang Liu had already noticed the fleeting expression on Qi Delong's face.

However, she did not care.

Long before agreeing to deal with Ye Qingxue and Lin Xian'er for Ruan Yuansheng, she had already been looking forward to this result.

As long as she could latch onto Ruan Yuansheng, her future would surely be incomparably bright.

She took the black veil and came to Ye Qingxue's side.

She was about to cover Ye Qingxue with it.

Under the table.

Seeing this, Lin Xian'er suddenly formed hand seals.

The Array set up in the room activated instantly, turning into a layer of Spirit Light, barely visible to the naked eye, that shrouded the surroundings of the Pavilion.

The moment the Array appeared.

The three people in the room felt that fluctuation of Spiritual Power simultaneously, their expressions startled.

Yang Liu, who was just about to cover Ye Qingxue with the black veil, paused in her movements.

At the same time.

Ye Qingxue's eyes snapped open.

Yang Liu was startled and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Yet, the moment she retreated, a palm wreathed in cold air suddenly slashed across.

She only felt a chill on her neck, and then her consciousness dissipated.

Thud~

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out.

Qi Delong and Ruan Yuansheng came to their senses and were horrified to discover that, in this split second, Yang Liu's head had actually been severed.

And Ye Qingxue, who had previously fallen into a coma, had somehow already stood up!

After realizing what happened.

The two looked at Ye Qingxue, their expressions turning gloomy.

"Ye Qingxue, you actually dare to slaughter a fellow sect member; do you not want to live anymore?" Qi Delong stared fixedly at Ye Qingxue.

"I slaughter a fellow sect member?" Ye Qingxue sneered, "Was it not you who schemed against me first?"

"You actually knew all along!"

Hearing Ye Qingxue's words, Qi Delong frowned, "My plan was known only to me and Yang Liu beforehand; I didn't tell anyone, and even Ruan only just found out."

"How did you know?"

"If you don't want people to know, don't do it." Ye Qingxue sneered and looked coldly at Ruan Yuansheng, "Today..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly waved her palm.

Five or six pale blue orbs, the size of longan fruit, were flung out and flew toward Ruan Yuansheng and his companion.

At the same time.

Several pale blue orbs also flew out from under the table.

After throwing the Ice Explosion Pills, Ye Qingxue rushed under the table without hesitation, crowding together with Wang Jianqiang and Lin Xian'er without the slightest reservation.

Boom!

The next moment.

A powerful explosive force instantly swept through the entire room.

Under the protection of the Array, the Pavilion remained undamaged, but all the items inside the room were shattered and turned into powder.

In the entire room, only one square table was preserved through the convergence of the Array's power.

When the explosive force subsided, the three leaped out from under the square table.

Looking ahead.

Immediately after.

The gazes of Ye Qingxue and Lin Xian'er shrank simultaneously.

Qi Delong, also at the Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection, had been severely injured by the sweep of the explosive force and lay on the ground like a dead dog, with more air going out than coming in.

Yet Ruan Yuansheng was completely unscathed!

After looking carefully, the two women discovered that Ruan Yuansheng was covered in a layer of Spiritual Power.

This layer of Spiritual Power did not fluctuate intensely, but its power was astonishing.

It made them feel a powerful sense of oppression from it.

This was an oppression of cultivation realms.

"The power of the Golden Core Stage!"

"How could you, a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, possess power at the Golden Core level!"

Their pupils contracted.

Ruan Yuansheng sneered, "You two sluts, you really are ruthless; if I hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have been blown to bits by now."

"I had intended to take you as handmaidens, but since you are so unappreciative, once I capture you and enjoy myself, I will send you to reincarnation."

As soon as the words fell.

The Spirit Light on his body instantly became intense.

The dazzling Spirit Light detached from his body like flowing water, transforming into a light-shadow condensed from Spiritual Power at his side.

"Oh?"

Seeing this Spiritual Power light-shadow, Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

This light-shadow appeared to be a Spiritual Power avatar.

Compared to the Spiritual Power of the Golden Core Stage, the body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is far too fragile.

If even a sliver of power from this avatar were to leak out, it would cause fatal damage to them.

To condense a Golden Core Stage avatar with such stable power and preserve it for a long time.

This kind of ability is something even ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators likely cannot achieve.

At the very least, it requires a Cultivator who has Manifested Will to integrate Will Power into it and restrain the Spiritual Power to be able to do so.

To be able to make a Cultivator who has Manifested Will go to such great lengths.

The status of Ruan Yuansheng appears to be much higher than Ye Qingxue and Lin Xian'er imagined.

Seeing the look of shock on the faces of Ye Qingxue and Lin Xian'er, Ruan Yuansheng smiled smugly.

He pointed a finger at the two of them.

That Spiritual Power avatar immediately flew out.

As the aura of the Golden Core Stage spread wantonly.

The two women felt as if they had fallen into a quagmire.

Even moving a single finger felt incomparably difficult.

They could only watch helplessly as the Spiritual Power avatar approached.

Just at this moment.

A small golden sword suddenly flew out from the side.

With a flash of Golden Light, it pierced through the chest of the Spiritual Power avatar.

With astonishing sharpness raging, this Spiritual Power avatar, whose strength had reached the Golden Core Stage, instantly collapsed.

At the same time.

After piercing through the Spiritual Power avatar, the Golden Light did not pause in the slightest and pierced through Ruan Yuansheng's body as well.

The smug look on Ruan Yuansheng's face vanished instantly.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

He looked in horror at the hunched old man beside the two women.

"Impossible!"

"How could a piece of trash at the Qi Refining stage possess a treasure of this level!"

That was a powerful Spiritual Power avatar capable of rivaling a Golden Core Stage Perfection Cultivator, yet it was shattered so easily!

A mere Qi Refining stage, an ant-like Cultivator, actually possesses such a powerful treasure!
