Infiltrating the world of cultivation

That night, the air was as cool as autumn water and as black as thick ink.

A cold wind howled, snowflakes fluttered, and a lithe figure leaped and moved forward on the eaves of the market without making a sound.

After circling around and finding no one following them, the dynasty sped off towards the outskirts of the market.

In the distance, Nangong Qingyu leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, her expression complex. If you could come to Qinghui Sword Sect, what harm would it do if I liked you?

What do I care about praise or criticism, or the indifference of the world?

After leaving the market, Wang Chao realized that no one was following him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I was overthinking things; three Spirit Gathering Pills are not enough to attract the attention of others.

Following the planned route, Wang Chao sped along without stopping for a moment, determined to meet up with Zuo Qiuzhen as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Now, he is a cultivator at the peak of the first stage of Qi Refining. As long as he has enough spiritual power, he may break through to the second stage of Qi Refining at any time.

Within the first three stages of Qi Refining, one accumulates a certain amount of spiritual energy.

However, a dynasty requires several times more spiritual energy than others.

Although it consumes more resources, the dynasty's spiritual power is still several levels stronger than others.

This is also why Zhang Quan was stabbed by his sword that day.

It wasn't just because the Qingfeng Sword Technique was fast; part of the reason was the dynasty's abundant spiritual energy.

call out!

The dynasty crossed a trough, and not far ahead was the place where it had agreed to meet Zuo Qiuzhen.

They didn't encounter any danger along the way. If Nangong Qingyu had escorted them, they would have been incredibly embarrassed.

Swish!

The dynasty, which was running at full speed, suddenly made a tactical move by rolling to the left, moving two meters laterally, and quickly finding cover and observing the defense.

Right where Wang Chao had just stood, a thorn sprouted from the ground. If Wang Chao hadn't dodged in time, his foot would probably have been pierced.

Wang Chao focused his mind and looked ahead, where a black figure appeared like a ghost.

"Your reaction is quite sharp; no wonder Zhang Quan was defeated by you."

The black figure spoke, and the dynasty was suddenly startled—it was Han Dianli!

After a moment's thought, Wang Chao realized why Han Dianli had appeared here. This was the only way to the No. 3 mining area, and Han Dianli was waiting for him here, like a hunter waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

"What about Zhang Quan?"

Wang Chao coldly observed that Zhang Quan had not appeared at the auction. Could it be that he had gone to assist in the killing of Zuo Qiuzhen?

"What use is there in keeping such a piece of trash? I have already extracted his soul and refined it into a magical artifact."

Han Dianli's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and he was very indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao felt a chill run down his spine. Although Zhang Quan was arrogant, he was also a man of true character, and he never concealed his fighting and killing.

Now that they have learned that he has been murdered, the dynasty is somewhat saddened. Since Han Dianli appeared in this place, something must have happened to Zuo Qiuzhen as well.

Sure enough, Han Dianli said calmly, "Are you waiting for that old bastard Zuoqiu Zhen? I'm afraid he's already in grave danger. No matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly contend with a cultivator at the third stage of Qi Refining!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao's expression turned solemn. He knew Zuo Qiuzhen's strength; he was evenly matched with Han Dianli in their battle, at most only slightly ahead. But if he encountered a cultivator at the third stage of Qi Refining, his chances of survival would be slim.

Once you reach the third stage of Qi Refining, you can use the Gravity Technique. At that time, both your strength and speed will increase significantly.

Even if Han Dianli brought many innate martial artists, the odds are probably against him.

The reason is simple: when facing cultivators, the human wave tactic is simply ineffective. A single fireball spell is enough to defeat almost anyone.

Wang Chao put aside his distractions and disregarded Zuo Qiuzhen's situation. His own predicament was already very dangerous, as Han Dianli was at the second stage of Qi Refining and had mastered several spells.

One wrong move and you could die today.

Wang Chao took out a three-foot-long sword from the nine-story ancient pagoda, and then took out a sphere, which was a hand grenade with a kill radius of more than six meters.

Han Dianli was not in a hurry. Instead, he watched the dynasty prepare in a leisurely manner. In his view, the dynasty was just a novice who had just entered the world of cultivation. Taking down the dynasty was just a matter of a thought.

"Qingfeng Sword Technique!"

The dynasty moved, like a phantom in the night, with terrifying speed. The Qingfeng Sword Technique, which incorporated many sword techniques, was naturally transformed.

Even Han Dianli, a Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator, was momentarily stunned, secretly marveling at how extraordinary this dynasty was. Despite being cultivators, they had mastered mortal martial arts to such an extent.

Extreme speed can also be a deadly move. Han Dianli dared not be careless and took out a bright yellow talisman from his pocket.

"Diamond Technique, go!"

A golden dome appeared around the ceremonial figure.

This Vajra Technique is based on the same principle as the Vajra Formation in the Dynasty's residence. After seeing Hanli use talismans, the Dynasty had a headache. He really had no way to break this Vajra Formation.

It was he and the white-robed national advisor Li Wenshu who worked together to solve the problem and kill the cultivator.

Fireball! Go!

This time, Han Dianli did not use talismans. Instead, he formed hand seals and cast a spell. These talismans were not cheap, so Han Dianli probably didn't have that much money left.

Han Dianli's fireball was much faster than Zhang Quan's. Fortunately, Wang Chao's speed had also increased significantly. Even after a very close call, he was still shaken.

This technique of releasing fireballs out of thin air is truly mysterious. However, a flamethrower that can be released without spiritual power must be a pleasant surprise for Han Dianli, right?

boom!

The flamethrower was set to its highest temperature, and a burst of fire shot out, startling even Wang Chao himself.

The flames were so hot that Wang Chao felt like his hair was about to be burned, and the smell of burning protein filled the air.

The pitch-black night was illuminated, like a magnificent and colorful fireworks display.

The Han Dianli was completely enveloped in the flames of the flamethrower. He was stunned to see the Vajra Technique surrounded by a fiery red glow. He had never seen such intense flames before.

I didn't see the dynasty use any special methods, so where did this flame come from?

Startled, Han Li released three water ball spell talismans all at once.

Chi Chi!

Water and fire have been incompatible since ancient times. When the water ball technique came into contact with the flames of the flamethrower, it immediately produced a large amount of white smoke.

Immediately afterwards, two more water spheres flew in, and Wang Chao, manipulating his flamethrower, turned them into a cloud of white mist.

After the flamethrower finished off the last water sphere, it was declared obsolete, and the Vajra Array of the rare ceremony dimmed and disappeared with a whoosh.

Even now, Han Dianli still can't believe how the dynasty could unleash such a massive fireball; it's beyond his comprehension.

A mere Qi Refining Stage 1 novice can unleash such power; this dynasty must have a secret!

Han Dianli's expression darkened, further solidifying his resolve to overthrow the dynasty.

At that time, the dynasty's foundation will become his Dharma connection.
