Chapter 585: The Rogue Cultivator

In the end, Aaron still decided to wait and see.

It was not that he could not put aside his pride to farm, but rather that the Dongmen family's reputation and whether there were any powerful enemies were both unknowns.

He still needed to observe silently for a while before making a decision.

"Besides... there might not necessarily be no other ways to earn Spirit Stones; wait a little longer, look a little more..."

Aaron walked out of Dongmen Valley and dove into the mountain forest.

After casting the "Wind Control Technique," his figure moved rapidly through the jungle, which also served to obscure his line of sight.

A moment later, he stood up, loosened his muscles and bones, and performed a set of fist techniques.

This was also the last thought in the mind of the man in yellow.

"Not good!"

"So that's how it is..." The expression on Aaron's face relaxed, then he suddenly recited two syllables rapidly, raised his hand, and threw a Fireball!

The "Fireball Technique," having been leveled up to perfection, had a casting speed that clearly exceeded the man in yellow's expectations.

"Take this as a warning! Take this as a warning!"

Crack!

Finally... bang... the entire head exploded with a boom, flesh and blood splattering!

"Huhu!"

He exclaimed in his heart, but it was already too late.

Even so, Aaron, who had swallowed the "Explosive Qi Life-Shortening Pill," felt his vision go black in waves.

Subsequently, this once-rampant rogue cultivator was hit head-on by three fireballs.

"This Rejuvenation Technique, at least... is quite effective in stopping bleeding and increasing the speed of injury recovery... combined with the life-shortening healing pill, it allowed an injury that might have taken me several years to recover from to be mostly healed in a month."

"In the future, I must be more steady!"

The Golden Light Shield shattered with a boom, and then Aaron threw a punch, landing squarely on the somewhat pretty face of the female cultivator!

Slap!

Her features twisted and deformed under Aaron's iron fist...

Crack!

Pfft!

Aaron fell straight to the ground with a Black Wood Sword stuck in his back, blood flowing everywhere.

His expression changed drastically; with no time to defend, he could only dodge to the side in a sorry state.

But he dared not continue to stay here; he hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils of war, and left in a rush.

"No, that's not right... it's probably because my words and actions were too green, so they deliberately picked a soft persimmon to squeeze!"

The man in yellow was furious; in the past, only he would ambush others—when had he ever been forced to such a point by a rookie?

Just as he was in a rage and wanted to take out Talisman Paper to counterattack, he discovered that several more fireballs were flying in from various directions, exploding one after another!

Because this female cultivator had already approached within seven steps of him!

One month later.

"He... how could his Fireball Technique be cast so quickly?"

Aaron sensed that someone was tracking him.

Furthermore, he felt even more speechless in his heart: "Could it be that because my first time acting wasn't steady enough, I'm going to suffer a Backlash? Are the Immortal Cultivators of today all crazy with poverty? I only spent three Spirit Stones!"

He unbuttoned his outer garment, revealing the Fish Skin Inner Armor worn close to his body.

In a battle between Martial Masters, within seven steps, one is a match for an entire nation!

And on his back, that "Black Wood Sword" had pierced through the three layers of fish skin inner armor, blood gushing out like a fountain!

"How dangerous... if the max-level Golden Light Shield hadn't absorbed most of the force first and deflected the direction... and then there was the three-layer fish skin defense, I would have been dead or severely injured from that sword just now, with no power left to fight back."

That Golden Light Shield, which had blocked Aaron's attacks many times before, let out a miserable cry of being unable to bear the burden and shattered into countless points of light with a boom, only slightly deflecting the black light, which still landed on Aaron.

Rumble!

After successive explosions, a charred pit appeared on the ground, inside of which was a mangled corpse!

Aaron's expression remained unchanged; he continued to chant, added a layer of "Golden Light Shield" for defense, then looked around vigilantly and slowly approached the pit.

Hmm, he hadn't looked at the spoils of war he obtained last time yet; they were buried in different mortal cities.

Behind an ancient tree that Aaron was staring at, a man in yellow slowly walked out, about forty years old, with Qi Refining Middle Stage cultivation, a smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... is the fellow Daoist a Loose Cultivator? I just wanted to come and make a friend; after all, it is not easy for us Loose Cultivators to survive, and we should look out for each other..."

"Rejuvenation Technique!"

He even... moved far away from the Taiyuan Mountain Range and returned to a small city in the Lin Kingdom to recuperate.

"After all, I had never been in contact with the Immortal Cultivation World before; even if I tried my best to cover it up, it was easy for others to see that I was a novice... and novices are the easiest to bully!"

But suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and he looked behind him: "Who?"

Just as Aaron was feeling sentimental, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a flash of black light.

Pfft!

The black light descended swiftly, its speed like a startled swan or a flying electric bolt, stabbing fiercely onto the defense of the Golden Light Shield!

"This person wanted to paralyze me at the beginning and didn't immediately sacrifice his Magic Tool and spells to protect himself, which was also an important reason for his death. I must be careful in future battles..."

"The series of victories before really did make me a bit arrogant..."

After doing all this, Aaron's face instantly turned pale, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

This female cultivator suddenly felt as if a crimson sun had appeared before her eyes!

Refining Spirit momentum!

……

"This time was slightly risky; I almost died..."

His entire skin turned pitch-black like refined iron, and he threw a punch from seven paces away, the fist aura surging five or six feet!

Following that, Aaron took a stride, covering the distance of three ordinary steps, and threw another punch!

Finally, he arrived before this female cultivator and threw the third punch!

However, an Immortal Cultivator's spirit is extraordinary; she was only dazed for half an instant before her expression shifted slightly, and she crushed a Spirit Talisman in her hand, causing a layer of Golden Light Shield to envelop her entire body!

For ordinary Immortal Cultivators, casting spells is too slow; during a battle, Talismans and Magic Tools remain the mainstream!

And at this moment, Aaron, who had originally been lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up!

The Fireball exploded, and the scattering tongues of fire swept out, scorching the yellow-clothed man's clothes into tatters.

"You thief, how dare you?!"

Boom!

"Didn't expect... the combat effectiveness of a max-level Fireball Technique to be quite good, though it would be even better if it could be cast instantly; he definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge even the first one!"

Aaron pondered for a while and began to continue sitting in meditation to cultivate.

Thinking of the battle that day, Aaron still felt lingering fear.

These three punches were thrown one after another, yet they arrived almost simultaneously! It was like three layers of waves on the Yangtze River, completed in an instant, striking the Golden Light Shield in succession!

"The injury on my back has finally fully recovered; this time I really almost fell..."

"Big Brother!"

At this moment, from the Shadow not far away, a female cultivator pulled off the curtain draped over her body, as if jumping directly out of the void, and ran crying toward the location of the large pit: "If I had known... this Black Wood Sword should have been given to you for self-defense, wuwu... Big Brother, I will tear this thief into ten thousand..."

Aaron formed a seal with his fingers, and a jade-green radiance began to Blink, turning into specks of light that scattered over his body.

After all, those rogue cultivators might have unknown methods, and if there were accomplices who could track their companion's items, it would be very troublesome.

"I'll just leave the items there for now; they won't grow legs and run away anyway... I'll wait ten years and see... Hehe, these two rogue cultivators are only at the Qi Refining Middle Stage, and their accomplices are likely similar; a Qi Refining stage cultivator's lifespan is only about a hundred years, they want to compare patience with me?"
