Chapter 315: Abducting a Female Cultivator from the Joyous Union Sect to Bring a Dao Companion to the Main Body

Ancient Profound Turtle Art!

In an instant, Zhou Sui had long been prepared for a sneak attack from the Cultivator before him; he instantly unleashed the Ancient Profound Turtle Art, a cultivation technique he had already refined to the second level.

One could see a double-layered Mysterious Turtle Cover instantly manifest around his body, covered in dense, emerald-green Mysterious Turtle Runes, resembling the texture of an ancient turtle shell and containing immense defensive power.

Boom~~

Immediately, the sharp claws of this Nascent Soul-level Puppet slammed fiercely into the Ancient Profound Turtle shell, causing a terrifying tremor and forming ripples of energy.

A massive sound erupted from all directions, spreading across a radius of a hundred miles.

An invisible wave of Dharma Power rippled outward.

This great mountain was instantly shattered by the shock, breaking into pieces.

One could imagine the ferocity of this strike; it was absolutely a full-strength blow.

Even an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator would be unable to withstand it.

"As a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, you actually resort to sneaking up on a junior like me."

"It seems you all deserve to die today."

Zhou Sui looked calmly at the four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, the killing intent within him steadily brewing.

To tell the truth, he had not made a move in a very long time.

It was the perfect opportunity to use these four Nascent Soul Robber Cultivators to test the sharpness of his sword.

With a *whoosh*, he reached out with a large hand and immediately produced a Flying Sword, its edge gleaming and sword Qi surging.

"What kind of divine ability is this, to actually withstand a full-strength strike from my Hidden Tiger Puppet?"

"It seems your heritage, kid, is also quite extraordinary."

"The problem is, none of the major sects across the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent possess such divine abilities."

"Could it be that you are a Cultivator from another continent?"

Li Dong's expression was grave; he immediately raised Zhou Sui's danger rating several times over.

One must know that the Hidden Tiger Puppet he possessed had the strength of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and when driven at full power, its combat capability was in no way inferior to any Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

Moreover, it possessed the function of invisibility, capable of evading the divine sense perception of other Cultivators; it was a supreme weapon for sneak attacks.

Often, enemies would be secretly ambushed and instantly killed by this Nascent Soul-level Puppet before they even knew what was happening.

This was how all the enemies he had encountered previously had met their end.

They would be finished off without ever knowing where the attack had come from.

This was a Puppet from the Refining Treasure Sect, a sect of the Spirit Severing stage.

It was also one of the trump cards they had obtained in the past.

After hundreds of years of repairs, they had finally succeeded in restoring these Nascent Soul-level Puppets, which then became their hidden ace.

This also allowed their combat power to far exceed those of the same rank.

"Big Brother, it doesn't matter where he is from."

"Even if he has a Spirit Severing sect behind him, so what? As long as we slaughter this kid, then the heritage and Treasure on his person will be ours; this is a great opportunity for us."

"No matter who comes today, they cannot save you."

The second brother, Li Xi, revealed a look of greed in his eyes; he felt that the more astonishing the kid's heritage was, the more Treasure he must have on him, and the greater his own harvest would be this time.

He did not believe that four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators working together could not handle one Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator.

Even a True Disciple of a Spirit Severing sect would not have such ability.

Rumble~~~

In an instant, the other three also launched their attacks, summoning their own life-bound Puppets.

They were the Demon Phoenix Puppet, the Ice Lion Puppet, and the Flood Dragon Puppet, respectively.

Terrifying auras permeated from them, and they all possessed Nascent Soul-level combat power.

It was as if real Monster Beasts had appeared in the world.

This was one of the greatest masterpieces of the former Spirit Severing sect, the Refining Treasure Sect; they had hunted a large number of Fourth-tier Beasts, obtained materials from their bodies, and refined them into Nascent Soul-level Puppets.

In this way, a Cultivator could control these Puppets to fight without harming their own physical body.

They could even combine with their own bodies to exert a power greater than the sum of its parts.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, the Demon Phoenix Puppet flew into mid-air, releasing crimson flames from its entire body, resembling a true Demon Phoenix and permeating with a terrifying demonic aura.

It opened its mouth wide, and a terrifying crimson flame spewed out like a sharp arrow, blasting toward Zhou Sui at an incredibly fast speed.

"Roar!"

The Ice Lion Puppet also let out a roar; its body was extremely massive, at least several dozen zhang in size. It waved its tiger claws, and terrifying ice blades erupted from its body.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, turning into an ice and snow storm; the temperature plummeted, bringing a massive cold storm that froze the surrounding earth.

One after another, white ice blades came blasting over, seemingly tearing through the surrounding air and shattering great mountains.

Of course, the Flood Dragon Puppet was not to be outdone; its body was a hundred zhang long, floating in mid-air. It also opened its mouth to roar, and a terrifying black light spewed out—this was the Flood Dragon's breath, possessing infinite power.

It could easily shatter a thousand-zhang mountain, acting just like an energy cannon.

"Ancient Profound Turtle Art."

Zhou Sui did not dodge or evade; he remained standing in place, circulating the Ancient Profound Turtle Art, his body wrapped in layers of the massive Mysterious Turtle Cover, tight and secure, without any blind spots.

It was as if he were encased in a giant turtle shell.

Rumble~~

Immediately, the power of the three Nascent Soul Puppets slammed into the Mysterious Turtle Cover simultaneously, producing the sound of metal clashing, ringing out with a clang and bursting with dazzling sparks.

This caused the Mysterious Turtle Cover to show some indentations, but it recovered rapidly.

They were unable to break through the Mysterious Turtle Cover on Zhou Sui's body.

Zhou Sui currently seemed as if he were possessed by an Ancient Profound Turtle; as long as he stood in place, no matter how the enemies attacked, they could not harm his true body in the slightest.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of divine ability is this? We are three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators joining forces, yet we cannot break through this defensive technique at all?!"

Seeing this scene, Li Bei was instantly stunned; he simply could not believe the scene his eyes were seeing, because such a scene was truly too absurd.

Even the power of a Lower Grade Defense Spirit Treasure would struggle to withstand their attacks.

Yet now, the divine ability of this mysterious Cultivator before them could easily withstand it.

If one had not witnessed it with their own eyes, who would believe such an absurd thing?

"This defensive technique is not just simply amazing in its defensive power; it also seems capable of dispersing force. Our divine abilities strike it, and it seems this turtle cover can scatter the power of the divine abilities to various places, or even transfer it into the earth, which is why it is so indestructible." Li Nan's pupils constricted.

In just an instant, he could perceive the formidable nature of this defensive divine ability.

It was simply the strongest defensive divine ability he had ever seen in his life.

Even among the four Transformation Deity sects of the Eastern Wasteland Continent, there would be no such defensive divine ability.

If there were, it would have long been famous throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent, and it would not be so obscure as it is now.

"Could this guy really be from a Transformation Deity sect?"

Li Dong's pupils constricted; he already felt that things were looking a bit ominous.

The mysterious Cultivator before them practiced such a powerful defensive divine ability; perhaps with their strength, they could not kill this guy, and by then, they might provoke a great enemy.

They might even offend the Transformation Deity sect behind this guy.

He already felt a bit of regret.

Why did they not investigate this man's background clearly before making a move?

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Since they had already started, there was no turning back; they could only continue to make mistake after mistake.

Today, either this brat dies, or they perish.

"I didn't expect that you couldn't even break the defense on my body; it really is too disappointing."

"In that case, you have no value in living."

Zhou Sui shook his head, clearly a bit disappointed.

The reason he did not attack just now and only displayed the Ancient Profound Turtle Art was to test where the limits of this technique lay, and to make it easier for himself to gauge the defense of this technique in the future.

Unfortunately, these four Nascent Soul Cultivators were not skilled enough.

Even by joining forces, they could not break the turtle shell on his body, and could not test the limit of the Ancient Profound Turtle Cover's defensive power.

Therefore, he no longer had much interest in these four Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Heh, what are you bragging about here?"

"You've just mastered a powerful defensive divine ability, that's all."

"When it comes down to it, it's just having an extra turtle shell on your body."

"But no matter how powerful a divine ability is, it still requires Dharma Power to sustain it."

"I don't believe that the Dharma Power in your body is infinite."

"As long as we exhaust your Nascent Soul Dharma Power, you will be fish on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered."

Li Bei sneered, still holding Zhou Sui in contempt.

Although the defensive divine ability on this brat was indeed powerful, it was ultimately just a defensive divine ability.

As long as they surrounded this brat and bombarded him wildly.

Then it wouldn't take long to exhaust the Dharma Power in this brat's body.

This divine ability would naturally be unable to be maintained.

By then, killing this brat would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

"You are right, that is indeed a weakness."

"Unfortunately, you do not have the ability to make the Dharma Power in my body run out."

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a trace of Cold Glow; holding a Flying Sword, he struck a blow toward Li Bei.

Execution Immortal Sword Formula, first form: Formless Sword Light!

Ever since he successfully cultivated the Execution Immortal Sword Formula, this was the first time he had displayed the Execution Immortal Sword Formula to fight against an enemy.

To be honest, he did not know how great the power of this sword formula was either.

However, the four Nascent Soul Cultivators before him were naturally very good opponents.

Suddenly, a terrifying Formless Sword Light arrived in an instant, slashing toward Li Bei.

It seemed that at this moment, invisible ripples appeared in this Void.

"What?!"

Li Bei's hair stood on end; he sensed that the aura of the mysterious Cultivator before him had changed drastically, and the moment he held the Flying Sword, a terrifying, extreme killing intent erupted from his body.

Execute Heaven, Slaughter Earth, Kill Men!

It seemed as if the mysterious Cultivator before him was holding the sword of Heavenly Punishment, punishing all sinners in the world.

His divine sense perceived that a fluctuation seemed to have appeared in this Void.

He also sensed a fatal crisis, and his whole body was trembling.

Unfortunately, the speed of this sword was simply too fast, too fast; even if he sensed it, he could not avoid it.

Not to mention that he could sense nothing at all.

Puchi~~~

In an instant, a Formless Sword Light swept past, instantly slicing Li Bei's body into two halves, splitting him from the middle; even the Nascent Soul within his body was cut into two, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

But the power of this Formless Sword Light was not just limited to this.

After slicing Li Bei's body open, it continued to blast toward the distance.

This stretch of land seemed to have been cleaved apart, with a rift appearing that stretched for a thousand miles.

Everywhere it passed, great mountains were sliced in two, the cuts smooth.

These rifts were permeated with terrifying Sword Qi and Sword Intent, which would not dissipate even after a thousand years.

"I, I died?!"

Li Bei widened his eyes, finding it simply unbelievable.

Because the speed of this sword strike was too fast; after one strike killed him, his consciousness remained in his body, and he had not even realized he was already dead.

But soon, a violent pain surged from his body, sinking into the depths of his sea of consciousness, sinking into his Soul.

Before long, he felt his consciousness fall into boundless Darkness.

Finally, the aura of his Soul dissipated in an instant, and his body fell directly onto the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust, while a large amount of fresh blood dyed this world red.

"Fourth Brother!"

Seeing this scene, Li Dong and the others were wide-eyed with fury.

They simply could not believe their eyes.

It was just a single sword strike, yet it killed their Fourth Brother Li Bei, without even giving him a chance to struggle.

Just like that, he was killed by a sword strike.

The speed was fast to an unimaginable degree.

Such sharp Sword Qi, containing endless killing intent, was something they had only seen in their entire lives.

"Peerless Sword Immortal."

"This guy is a Peerless Sword Immortal."

But soon, Li Dong and the others could no longer care about their anger, replaced instead by panic, endless panic.

Because they sensed the pure, extreme killing intent and Sword Intent on Zhou Sui.

It seemed that at this moment, the man before them had transformed into a Flying Sword that pierced the firmament.

They were well aware of the terror of a Fourth-tier Sword Cultivator, known as a Peerless Sword Immortal, invincible among peers, capable of challenging those of higher tiers.

They were simply not comparable to ordinary Cultivators.

In this current era, pure Sword Cultivators were already very rare.

One could not say they were extinct, but those who could reach the Fourth-tier as Sword Cultivators were absolutely few and far between.

Yet they had actually encountered such a terrifying god of slaughter.

Clearly, this time they had indeed kicked an iron plate.

"Rest assured, my sword is fast; you all just bear with it."

Zhou Sui was expressionless, looking indifferently at the remaining three Nascent Soul Cultivators.

He brandished his sword three more times, pouring his vast Nascent Soul Dharma Power into it, and three streaks of Execution Immortal Sword Qi came crashing down.

An invisible ripple spread through this Void.

"It's over."

Li Dong and the others felt their hair stand on end; they instinctively wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, facing these streaks of Formless Sword Light, they had no time to escape.

Boom!!

With just a single sword strike, they followed in Li Bei's footsteps, their entire bodies instantly cleaved in two, separated from the middle, and even their Nascent Souls were split in half.

The terrifying Execution Immortal Sword Qi permeated their bodies, extinguishing their vitality.

Three rifts stretching for a thousand miles immediately appeared on the ground as well.

They could also be called sword marks.

This entire area was permeated with terrifying Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

Any living being that approached these Sword Dao marks, as long as their physical constitution and Soul strength were not powerful enough, would be severely wounded by the Execution Immortal Sword Intent, or might even die and have their bones vanish.

"Not bad."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui was very satisfied; clearly, the Execution Immortal Sword Formula he practiced was powerful and tyrannical.

Having only successfully practiced the first form, it already had a hint of being invincible among peers.

Even a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator could not withstand a single streak of his Execution Immortal Sword Qi.

It was conceivable that this sword formula was absolutely a top-tier cultivation method in this world.

It could even be called an Immortal Scripture.

To tell the truth, this was merely a small test of his skills, and it had already produced such results.

If he were to advance further, then clearly it could erupt with even more tyrannical power.

He now had a touch of the Peerless Sword Immortal about him.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui did not hesitate; with a wave of his hand, he immediately collected the four uncontrolled Nascent Soul Puppets. After all, these were Nascent Soul-level Puppets, and their value was no less than an Upper Grade Spirit Treasure.

They might even be more precious.

Even if he did not use them, giving them to his Dao Companion to use would allow them to exert powerful combat strength.

It was equivalent to obtaining a Treasure for self-defense, with infinite mysteries.

Of course, the Storage Bags on the four Li brothers were also collected by him.

After all, these were the Storage Bags of Nascent Soul Cultivators, containing all their worldly possessions.

One could imagine how many Treasures were inside.

However, he currently had no time to inspect the Treasures in these Storage Bags.

"Come out; you've been watching from the sidelines for a long time, haven't you?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui looked at the Hehuan Sect female Cultivator, Xia Shuiyang, who was hiding nearby.

The other party thought she was hiding very secretively.

But in front of his Heart Eye Power, she still had nowhere to hide.

In fact, from the very beginning, he knew this woman was hiding on the side.

It was just that he was busy dealing with the four Li brothers for the time being, so he did not pay attention to Xia Shuiyang.

Swoosh!

A stunning beauty wearing a white dress walked out; her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, her figure was proud, and her long legs were simply breathtakingly beautiful.

This woman was none other than Xia Shuiyang, the senior sister of the Hehuan Sect.

Hearing this, Xia Shuiyang, who had been hiding, had no choice but to walk out from the nearby jungle, looking at Zhou Sui with a face full of terror.

To tell the truth, she had originally wanted to play the beauty saving the hero.

She wanted to strike at a critical moment to bestow a favor upon this man.

But who could have imagined that this man's combat power would be terrifying to such an absurd degree.

Even though she was not the one involved, merely watching from the side, she could still feel the infinite sword Qi and killing intent contained within this man, which was simply not something she could rival.

After all, she herself was a Hehuan Sect female Cultivator who was not good at fighting; how could she be mentioned in the same breath as a Sword Cultivator?

The other party could instantly kill four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators as if killing chickens.

Then killing her would probably just be a matter of a single thought.

Now she was terrified to the extreme, not knowing how she would be treated by this terrifying man.

She was simply trembling.

"These four Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn't have been brought here by you, right? Did you take a fancy to the Treasure on me and want to kill me to seize it?" Looking at the trembling Xia Shuiyang, Zhou Sui couldn't help but feel a bit of mischievousness, deliberately keeping a straight face as he looked at Xia Shuiyang.

"No, no, no, this, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"It was the four Li brothers acting on their own initiative."

"I only heard the news and rushed over, hoping to help Daoist Zhou."

"I didn't expect Daoist Zhou's combat power to be so remarkable that you didn't need my help at all."

"It seems I was being a bit overly sentimental."

"If there is nothing else, I will leave; there are still some things to attend to in Hundred Flowers City."

Xia Shuiyang trembled slightly, her face deathly pale, as she tried to find an excuse to leave.

She wished she could immediately leave this fierce god before her.

And she did not try to use any Charm Technique, because for a Sword Cultivator like this, the Dao Heart was firm to the extreme and extremely pure; it was simply not something she could charm.

If she were to use a Charm Technique, it would be nothing more than bringing humiliation upon herself.

"Daoist Xia wants to leave? I'm afraid that won't do."

"Now that you know my background, you must pay a price."

Zhou Sui just looked at Xia Shuiyang like that.

"You, you must not kill me, I am innocent."

Hearing this, Xia Shuiyang was immediately so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, her pretty face deathly pale, and she could barely exert any strength.

Originally, she would not have been so pathetic.

But because the killing intent on Zhou Sui was too astonishing, shocking the soul, coupled with the effect of the Infatuation Gu, it made her have no power to resist when facing Zhou Sui.

"Rest assured, I will not kill you, but you should still get a good night's sleep first."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, and with a hand chop, he instantly knocked Xia Shuiyang unconscious on the ground.

For a short time, this woman would be unable to wake up.

"Not bad, if the main body knows that I brought a Dao Companion back for him, he will surely be very happy."

The clone Zhou Sui was very pleased with himself.

He took Xia Shuiyang and soon left this place.

Because he needed to find a place to set up a Teleportation Array and then teleport back to the Kurong Sect island.

…………

Not long after Zhou Sui left, one Nascent Soul Cultivator after another arrived through the air.

After all, Zhou Sui's Execution Immortal Sword Qi just now was too astonishing, affecting an area of a thousand miles.

Even Cultivators located in Hundred Flowers City could feel this monstrous sword intent.

After the battle ended, these Nascent Soul Cultivators, out of curiosity, rushed over one after another, wanting to know what exactly had happened in this place.

"Terrifying, truly too terrifying. A single strand of sword Qi formed a crack of a thousand miles; what level of Sword Dao cultivation is this?" A Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He sensed a crack stretching for a thousand miles that had appeared on the earth, filled with terrifying Execution Immortal Sword Qi and sword intent; even though some time had passed, there was still no sign of it dissipating.

Even from a long distance away, one could still feel this sword intent that tore everything apart.

Everyone felt as if they were on pins and needles, as if their own skin was being sliced by numerous sword Qi.

"Found them, it's the four Li brothers."

"They were killed by that mysterious Sword Cultivator with one sword, and the Storage Bags on their bodies were all taken away."

"No way, the ones who died are actually the four Li brothers?!"

"Heh, these four guys have secretly robbed I don't know how many Cultivators and done all kinds of evil; this time they perhaps offended a Sword Cultivator and ended up being slaughtered without any power to resist."

"Often walking by the river, how can one not get their shoes wet? The four Li brothers probably wanted to rob this mysterious Sword Cultivator, not expecting the other party's strength to be so terrifying, and instead were killed in seconds by one sword, meeting an untimely death."

"However, such sword Qi and sword intent are so terrifying, and the killing intent is so heavy; it is simply unheard of. It seems that not even the four Great God Transformation Sects have such a Sword Cultivator."

"Very normal, there are simply too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the Cultivators on the Eastern Wasteland Continent. Perhaps it is just an unworldly peerless Sword Cultivator. In short, this is an era of great contention; with the invasion of the Ancient Demon World, I fear these Cultivators who practice in seclusion will all emerge one after another."

The many Nascent Soul Cultivators discussed among themselves.

They examined the traces in the surroundings, and everyone was deeply shocked inside.

Almost immediately, they raised the threat level of this mysterious Sword Cultivator to the highest, equivalent to a Great Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

However, no one would avenge the four Li brothers.

After all, these four were accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, and they were unwilling to join a Transformation of the Deity sect and lose their freedom.

Because of this, naturally no one was willing to avenge them after they died.

On the contrary, many a Cultivator even clapped and cheered.
