Chapter 293: Spirit-Startling Thorn

"People of the Su Family, you bunch of cowards, since you won't come out, then don't blame me."

Behind his mask, Cui San was full of ferocity, about to use the magic tool in his hand to slaughter these dozens of people.

At this moment, the Su Family mortals standing on the ground were filled with despair; the group huddled together, trembling, their hearts also full of anger toward the cultivators on the mountain.

"If you dare to move an inch, you will die in the next second."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind, causing Cui San to freeze.

Turning his head, he saw a young man flying over rapidly.

"Who... are you?"

Before he could finish his last word, he suddenly felt as if his spirit had been fiercely struck by a giant hammer, and his whole person was instantly stunned.

His eyes suddenly lost their focus.

However, he quickly recovered, his expression changing drastically; just as he wanted to defend, he saw a flash of fire-red sword light.

The next second, he fell into darkness.

Puchi!

His head was severed and fell beside the group of mortals, scaring them into screaming repeatedly.

"Alright, stop screaming, hurry up and go up; later, I won't be able to look after you anymore."

In a few breaths, having killed a Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator, there was no change on Su Fan's face, as if it were as simple as slaughtering a pig.

In reality, for Su Fan, cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer posed no threat at all.

The spiritual attack secret technique he had just unleashed—if you cannot block it, then the final result is just like this person.

Even though it was only for a split second, it was enough for Su Fan to land a killing blow.

This secret technique of his began with the incomplete Nine Yin he obtained from Huashan; in the Datang World, it already had considerable power, and in the Shenhan World, after decades of deduction, it finally took shape, its power being quite extraordinary.

He named it "Spirit-Startling Thorn"; anyone whose spiritual cultivation was lower than his, and who lacked magic techniques or tools to defend against spiritual attacks, would almost certainly meet their end after suffering his spiritual attack.

Using spiritual force to sever the opponent's Divine Sense would absolutely cause the opponent to fall into a brief moment of painful darkness.

This is the terror of spiritual attack secret techniques.

And secret techniques or magic tools that defend against spiritual attacks are so precious that even the Yunyang Sect might not necessarily possess them.

Su Fan's spiritual cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, which was only stronger, not weaker, than the Clan Leader's.

This person, with a mere Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivation, naturally could not block it.

This was also the reason for Su Fan's confidence in walking out from the mountain-top Great Array; although his cultivation was only Foundation Establishment Third Layer, his own mana was extremely thick, no worse than some at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, and coupled with his dual cultivation of magic and body, his combat power was even more formidable.

Having quickly wiped out one Black Abyss Foundation Establishment cultivator, what followed would be even easier.

"He died just like that? Is that really a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

The Su Family members on the mountain top were all somewhat stunned.

Su Fan's effortless slaughter of a Foundation Establishment cultivator made them somewhat unable to believe it.

"It seems Xiao Jiu has methods we don't know about."

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Su Xianhua understood even better what this meant; if it were the Great Elder, he probably couldn't have resolved that Foundation Establishment Third Layer Black Abyss cultivator as easily as Su Fan.

In that case, Xiao Jiu's strength was even above the Great Elder's.

Thinking of this, Su Xianhua drew in a few cold breaths.

How old was Xiao Jiu? Even today he was not yet fifty, yet he already possessed this strength; if he were given another ten-plus years, wouldn't he be able to reach the level of the Clan Leader?

He was simply a monster.

Of course, his heart was immediately filled with joy; no matter how Xiao Jiu's strength came about, it was enough that he was a member of the Su Family; the stronger Xiao Jiu's strength was, the better it was for the Su Family.

"Haha! The stronger Xiao Jiu's strength is, the easier things will be for us next."

Su Xianhua's words filled everyone with excitement.

At this time, two of the black-robed men who had scattered returned.

"Old Third!"

Seeing Cui San's corpse, the eyes hidden behind Tie Gui's mask widened suddenly, his face full of horror, followed immediately by anger and grief.

"You killed Old Third!"

With blood-red eyes, he stared at Su Fan, and then, without waiting for Su Fan to respond, Tie Gui immediately unleashed his magic tool and struck over.

The other person also unleashed a flying sword, killing toward Su Fan from the other side, a pincer attack.

"Those about to die are not worth pitying."

Su Fan smiled coldly; facing the sudden attack from the two, he had long been prepared, unleashing a Second Tier shield to block in front of him, stopping the other person's flying sword, while his Liuhuo Sword also killed toward the lead man.

As for the two cultivators, Su Fan had long known their cultivation levels; the leader was at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, and the other had the same cultivation as the one he had just killed, both at Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Fighting two against one, Su Fan's plan was to take out one more; pick the weak persimmon to squeeze. If he killed this Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator, then facing the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer one and the final Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivator, he would not fear being surrounded.

The crisis of the Su Family would then be resolved.

Having said that, Su Fan controlled the Liuhuo Sword to continuously attack the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer cultivator; the Liuhuo Sword was a top-tier Second-tier Upper Grade magic tool with immense power, and coupled with Su Fan's own practice of the Blazing Golden Blade Art, the mana was compatible, making the power even greater.

On the other side, he quickly closed in on the other Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator; he wanted to take him out first, but unfortunately, the "Spirit-Startling Thorn" could not be used again.

Otherwise, it would have been even easier.

Although this Spirit-Startling Thorn was powerful, it had high requirements for his own spirit; even with his spirit being this strong, he could only use it once every twelve hours.

If he were to force its use, it would only backfire on himself.

Su Fan knew that there was still a Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivator who would return soon, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

Approaching the Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator, Su Fan unleashed a Long Spear magic tool, a Second Tier Mid Grade magic tool that Su Fan had specifically purchased from Taihe Market.

This magic tool provided a great boost to his close-quarters combat as someone who practiced both magic and body cultivation.

Clang!

With mana circulating, the magic spear let out a long chime.

Facing Su Fan's surprise attack, this Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivator's expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned his flying sword back.

To meet Su Fan's attack.

Clang!

Su Fan thrust his Long Spear at close range, carrying the terrifying Xuesha intent of the Martial Dao; the way of the Martial Artist lies in the Martial Will.

Having transmigrated through several lifetimes, Su Fan's Martial Dao cultivation was not poor, and he had experienced many battles on the field; his Xuesha-like Martial Will erupted with a boom.

It caught this person off guard immediately.

With one thrust of his spear, he parried the opponent's flying sword and, with the momentum of a bolt of silk, stabbed toward the man.

At this critical moment, the man quickly pinched out a spell gesture, and a water curtain wall rapidly appeared before him.

Water Curtain Technique!

The spear blade pressed against the water curtain, and the continuous force coiled around the blade, its layers of defense blocking the unstoppable Long Spear.

Immediately following this, the man quickly struck his flying sword toward Su Fan.

Seeing this, Su Fan could only step back, rotating his spear blade; on the other side, Tie Gui felt a sense of relief in his heart seeing that Su Fan had not succeeded.

But immediately after, he became even more furious.
