Chapter 567: The Power of Three Palms, Instant Kill of the Same Tier

Qian Ting, wearing a gorgeous golden robe, listened to the report from below, his face showing an uncertain expression.

"It was actually in that valley!"

A few days ago, he had led people to ambush a female cultivator, and the other party was from that valley.

That ambush was interrupted by True Person Fu of Tianyuan Building, which once made them panic.

However, this matter had already been suppressed by them, so the clansmen didn't know about it, which led to the move of waiting for the rabbit in the stump.

"Patriarch, our people are in place, should we make a move?"

Qian Ting was quite indecisive, he asked: "Besides us, are there others?"

The clansman replied immediately: "There are some loose cultivators nearby who are reluctant to leave, mostly Foundation Establishment, estimated to be wanting to pick up leaks."

Qian Ting thought about it, and said decisively: "My Qian family acts, how can others pick up leaks, send people to drive them to attack Luo Hai, the reason, just use the excuse that he has Foundation Establishment resources."

Above the valley.

From the storage bag, he took out a few sound transmission jade slips, spoke in different tones in a low voice, and then accelerated his flight speed, flying towards the valley.

The clansman was stunned, then realized.

"Dare to make a move on me, you must be prepared to pay the price."

Logically speaking, making a move against Luo Hai at the moment shouldn't be a big problem.

In the face of the opportunity for Golden Core, no loose cultivator could bear it, not to mention that there were Qian family cultivators leading the way, so the biggest timidity of these people was gone.

Qian Ting was stunned, his face showing disbelief.

However, before he approached the battlefield, the Foundation Establishment clansman who had come to communicate before ran over in horror.

The Qian family is powerful, plus his little son who just achieved Golden Core, there are nine Golden Core cultivators,

Qian Ting followed unhurriedly behind, his mind constantly pondering.

However, one of the Core Formation elders had already fallen under his thunderous strike, and even his Golden Core had been captured by him.

It was unclear who had acted as the deserter first, but they began to flee toward the rear.

The leaders were two Qian family Core Formation elders, while the rest were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The person was not seen.

Each one contained immense power.

But Qian Ting was deep in schemes; what if he truly offended True Person Fu by accident?

"Loose cultivators can bear this scapegoat in name."

"I spent spirit stones to bribe Wu Yan, who is on duty in the cold palace of Feileng City, to tip me off. Thinking about it, the Wu family must have received the news as well; the Wu family should take action."

"However, the responsibility is heavy and cannot be borne by my Qian family alone; I still need to find others to share the burden."

"How is that possible?"

The clansmen received the order and immediately rushed toward the valley.

Although Xiao Ba was not his direct bloodline, he was a junior he thought highly of. Having advanced to the Core Formation stage about fifty years ago, he had been cultivating bitterly within the clan, which was why he brought him out to broaden his horizons.

When they had set an ambush outside the valley, they were scolded by True Person Fu. The three forces were quite terrified, so they came to the door with gifts to apologize.

Qian Ting asked in return.

After some deliberation, Qian Ting finally made up his mind.

"Run!"

"Do you think they will believe it?"

"The Zhou family has always been low-key, so I estimate they won't meddle in this. But Luo Hai is carrying mineral materials worth millions, and even more precious resources like tracing mud and gold-weaving silk. Lianfeng Hao and Baizao Mountain gained little at the auction before and must be resentful; I might be able to notify them."

Core Formation cultivators might not care, but Foundation Establishment cultivators feel dry-mouthed after just one look.

However, True Person Fu did give an answer, saying that the people in the valley had nothing to do with him.

"Once Luo Hai is captured and some of the spoils are distributed, I can extract the Qian family. In this way, the Soul-Nourishing Wood I want can be obtained safely."

"Patriarch, this person is fierce and unstoppable. The Eighth Elder died at his hands the moment they met; he didn't even last a single move!"

Qian Ting looked furious, "Go call Jin Zhan over; you must not let this loose cultivator run away!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen gave a ferocious grin.

At this moment, seeing his immense power, those loose Foundation Establishment cultivators had already fallen into chaos, attempting to flee.

"Xiao Ba is dead?"

A full hundred cultivators surrounded this place.

He raised both hands, and a full thousand fireballs floated up from behind him like stars.

"Will those loose cultivators believe it?"

This time, coming to participate in the Feileng City auction, he had brought a total of two Core Formation cultivators.

Luo Chen gripped a trembling Golden Core, his cold gaze sweeping in all directions.

In short, those hundred-plus Foundation Establishment loose cultivators were already fleeing in all directions.

Luo Chen let out a cold snort, and the fireballs floating behind him smashed in all directions like a meteor shower.

A casual strike from a Core Formation cultivator is a devastating blow to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In particular, Luo Chen's attainment in the Fireball Art had long reached an unknown height.

Even if it was just the lowest-tier first-grade spell, now that it was unleashed, combined with his pure and overbearing magic power, it was not inferior to any top-tier second-grade spell.

When the rain of fire filled the sky.

Within a radius of several miles, it was filled with wails.

All Foundation Establishment cultivators were using every means possible to protect themselves.

Either attacking with attacks or defending themselves.

Those with weak strength were crushed upon contact.

Those with high strength, even if they blocked it, were severely injured and fled in panic, never daring to stay here for long.

Luo Chen did not care about the harvest of his strike; his gaze fell on the remaining batch of people.

Nine Foundation Establishment cultivators and one Core Formation cultivator; observing his magic power fluctuations, he was about at the fifth level of Core Formation.

At this moment, he looked at Luo Chen with a livid face.

"Return Xiao Ba's Golden Core, and I can spare your life."

"Is this true?"

"True..."

"True your mother's head, do you really take me for a three-year-old child?"

Before the cursing had finished, Luo Chen had already rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

The Qian family's Second Elder swallowed his saliva, knowing well that this loose cultivator, who appeared to be only at the fourth level of Core Formation, was actually immensely powerful. He might be able to protect himself alone, but he definitely could not stop him.

Delaying time for the patriarch to arrive was already impossible.

In that case, then let's fight!

"Form the Qian family's grand formation, help me trap this person!"

The nine Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him had long been prepared.

In an instant, the nine people each occupied a position, magic power surged out, intertwining and outlining each other, and finally surged toward the Second Elder.

Inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Han Zhan let out a soft sound of surprise.

"A formation connected by bloodline, Luo Chen, be careful."

Luo Chen seemed not to hear, charging forward on his own.

When he reached within a hundred feet of the Qian family's Second Elder, he swung a palm out.

A huge cyan palm, wreathed in endless cyan flames, pressed down with a boom.

The Second Elder's expression tightened, and a rusted copper coin was spat out from his mouth. The copper coin grew in the wind, instantly becoming a huge shape, round on the outside and square on the inside.

One palm and one copper coin collided at a hair's breadth.

"Boom!"

With just one strike, the terrifying aftermath of magic power surged in all directions, forming a huge storm.

The ten Qian family cultivators at the center of the storm were instantly scattered.

The Second Elder was terrified, "What a terrifying spell; the power of one palm actually made my Falling Treasure Copper Coin, which has both offense and defense, almost unable to resist."

And Luo Chen, seeing this scene, had his eyes light up.

"An interesting magic treasure; it can actually dissolve the magic power in my Cyan Sun Great Handprint."

His palm was something even a third-grade late-stage Great Demon King like Jin Ao could hardly resist.

Yet he hadn't expected that a mere unknown fifth-level Core Formation cultivator could actually block it with a single magic treasure.

"I want this treasure!"

Luo Chen chuckled, and the crimson chains floating behind him extended toward the rusted copper coin in the air.

Seeing this, the Second Elder was not angry but happy.

The reason his magic treasure was called the Falling Treasure Copper Coin was that when it was refined, a drop of special water-attribute material, known as Weak Water, was integrated into it. It could temporarily sever the connection between an enemy's magic treasure and their mind.

Usually, when an enemy's natal magic treasure's connection is blocked, their mind must be in chaos, and that is the time for him to show his power.

Although he didn't know what magic treasure the chains floating behind this person were.

But as long as he was hit, he would be at his mercy.

A total of nine crimson chains flew toward the rusted copper coin from all directions with a clatter.

Click! Click! Click!

Instantly, they drilled into the hole of the coin, binding it tight.

At this, the Second Elder laughed triumphantly, "You've been hit, fall!"

In mid-air, the rusted copper coin bloomed with a layer of gray light, back-feeding the nine chains from the inside out. Under that layer of light, the nine chains seemed to become limp.

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, his joy even greater.

Sure enough!

He hadn't misjudged; this magic treasure indeed had the effect of dissolving magic power and severing the mental connection between a magic treasure and its owner.

However, this person's combat awareness was a bit lacking.

The chains he released were not the magic treasure itself, but merely an attack method derived from the Primordial Cauldron.

His mind stirred, and magic power surged out wildly.

Instantly, the nine chains became rigid again.

Looking from afar, it was like nine dragons snatching a pearl.

Under Luo Chen's control, the nine huge chains forcibly pulled the rusted copper coin toward him.

The Second Elder's expression changed drastically, "Something's wrong!"

Without a second thought, he wanted to shrink the size of the copper coin and quickly retract it.

However, no matter how small it became, the nine chains also became smaller.

Only then did he realize that he had been careless and fallen into the opponent's trap.

"The opponent's magic treasure actually has a similar effect, and because it directly attacked the body of my magic treasure, the effect is even greater than mine."

The Second Elder dared not hesitate; he flipped his wrist, and a golden long sword fell into his hand.

He slashed through the air!

Not slashing the chains, but slashing at Luo Chen's body.

A brave man cutting off his wrist, yet attacking where the enemy must save.

However, it was already too late.

This sword came too late.

In the void, a loud explosion sounded.

The next moment, Luo Chen shifted horizontally, actually moving dozens of feet sideways in the air, dodging the sword.

The powerful sword went straight into the depths of the valley, slashing out a narrow trench.

And that rusted copper coin, under the pull of the nine chains, flew in front of him.

He stretched out a large hand and forcibly gripped the trembling copper coin in his hand.

He raised his right hand again!

Above the clear sky, a huge handprint appeared again.

The muscle texture on it was clear, and the knuckles were distinct.

If it weren't for the thick cyan flames wreathed around it, it would be no different from a normal person's palm.

"This time, without the protection of this copper coin, let's see how you block this palm of mine!"

Luo Chen gave a low shout and pressed down with his palm.

Rumble!

The huge palm print, carrying infinite magic power, moved forward crazily with an unstoppable posture.

The void seemed to twist, unable to bear this pressure.

The Qian family's Second Elder looked at this scene with crazy eyes, his magic power surging wildly. The golden long sword in his hand transformed into thousands of sword lights, finally merging suddenly to form a giant sword.

The giant sword slashed diagonally, wanting to break this palm in one go.

However!

After the palm, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

The crater was a full hundred feet in size.

Looking closely, it was exactly the shape of five fingers.

Inside that crater, the nine elite Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qian family had already turned into a pool of blood mud, dead beyond death.

And the Second Elder himself was kneeling on the ground, leaning on his long sword, his hair disheveled.

He raised his head, bleeding from his seven orifices, his magic power fluctuations extremely chaotic; he had been shaken by this palm, causing his Golden Core to be disordered and his internal meridians to shatter inch by inch.

In his line of sight, a figure was rushing over like lightning.

"My life is over!"

At the same time, a sharp shout came from not far away.

"Show mercy!"

Accompanying this shout was an unparalleled black blade light.

The Second Elder's face was happy; the patriarch had arrived!

Luo Chen landed gracefully, as if he hadn't heard the sound, and pressed a palm on the head of the Qian family's Second Elder. Magic power sprayed, and the cultivator beneath him suddenly exploded into a mist of blood.

Because the opponent had a fluke mentality, he didn't have time to crush his storage bag before dying, so even the Golden Core and the golden long sword were preserved.

Luo Chen grabbed them and then looked up to face the blade light.

"Late-stage Core Formation! Mid-grade magic treasure!"

"Such an angry strike is not easy to take!"

Thoughts raced in his mind, but Luo Chen's movements were not slow at all.

Because of the change in direction, the blade light had a moment of delay.

And this moment of time gave Luo Chen sufficient buffer for casting spells.

The spirit formulas on his hands changed, the Golden Core in his body rotated, and strands of pure magic power surged out.

In the air, layers of rings erupted.

It was Luo Chen's self-created fire-type defensive spell—Seven-Fold Ring of Scorching Heaven!

However, although it was called the Seven-Fold Ring, with Luo Chen's current attainment, he could only cast five.

The black blade light was sharp and unparalleled.

With one slash, the five rings each erupted with power.

Either resisting head-on, or dissipating in the middle, or guiding and causing chaos, impacting each other.

However, under this blade, it eventually turned into nothingness.

Luo Chen shook his head; fire-type spells are not known for defense after all, even if he had pushed this self-created spell to a decent level.

Seeing the residual blade light coming toward his face, Luo Chen was not afraid.

He opened his mouth and spat!

A small gray cauldron floated out, spinning.

Without seeing its size change, it just blocked in front of the black blade light.

Only a sound was heard, Clang!

The next moment, a small black knife revealed its true form, its shape chaotic, flying back.

Luo Chen inhaled, and the Primordial Cauldron was swallowed into his belly again.

At this moment, two figures, one after the other, landed opposite Luo Chen and behind him.

"Sorry Master, Tianxuan did not stop this person."

Behind Luo Chen, Tianxuan's face was pale, looking quite depleted of demon power.

Earlier, it was she who was in front, casting the Demon Qi Vortex method to create a chaotic tornado, delaying the Great Cultivator's steps.

Only then did Luo Chen have enough time to resolve the frontal battlefield.

"You did very well, prepare to leave!"

Luo Chen said lightly.

"Leave, where do you want to leave!" Qian Ting's eyes were red, stepping forward step by step, a small black knife flying around him incessantly, "Killing two of my Qian family's Core Formation and nine Foundation Establishment, you still want to leave!"

"I want to leave, you can't stop me!"

Luo Chen chuckled, and the crimson wings behind him trembled violently.

At the same time, a pair of cyan wings suddenly extended from behind Tianxuan.

On the battlefield, a man and a woman, the man tall and the woman slender, each spreading their wings, looking like celestial beings.

"Use that flight method from the 'Universal Feather Secret Canon'."

Luo Chen gave a low shout.

"Go!"

One person and one demon, quite tacit, simultaneously cast Ninety Thousand Miles.

Turning into two streams of light, they flew toward the horizon.

Qian Ting was furious, wanting to chase, but just as he flew into the sky, a huge cyan handprint pressed down.

He had already sensed the power of this print from far away before.

Therefore, he dared not underestimate it at all, immediately using means to take this move.

Only in this way was the distance opened up.

The storm had not yet dissipated when Jin Zhan, another Core Formation cultivator of the Qian family who had long been stationed in Feileng City, arrived at the scene.

Before he could speak, he heard the patriarch roar.

"Chase, they can't run away!"

In the roar, besides endless anger, there was also deep sorrow and unwillingness.

As the two Qian family Core Formation cultivators left, figures appeared in the valley area that had been shattered by the great battle.

They were all Feileng City cultivators who had heard the commotion and came to watch the show.

Looking at the tragic state in the valley and the huge five-finger crater, the onlookers were all horrified.

"Who is this person, to be so powerful?"

"With the power of one person, he killed two great Core Formation and a hundred Foundation Establishment; the Qian family patriarch personally took action, yet couldn't keep him."

"I heard it's a loose cultivator, quite high-profile at the auction before, named Luo Hai."

"Luo Hai..."

"I guess he revealed his wealth and aroused the greed of the Qian family!"

"There's a good show to watch now!"
