Cultivation Kill

Looking at the dilapidated city, Shen Zige had no interest in wandering around, so she returned to the self-service conveyor machine to wait.

The agreed time has arrived.

Shen Zige and her three companions looked around but still couldn't find the man with the buzz cut.

"As expected, you, Long Aotian, are a big liar!" The female cultivator, using the alias Mulantian, pointed at the man in the floral shirt. "You set a trap in the secret realm to kill Fellow Daoist Yang Chongtian!"

Mulan Tian glared at the man in the floral shirt with the same look she would give a murderer, filled with rage.

"Don't get agitated. I didn't harm him. If I really did that, why would I be standing with you instead of running away now?" the man in the floral shirt, using the alias Long Aotian, explained. "He must have been delayed by something."

“You might also pull a counterintuitive trick!” said the young man in black, who used the alias Zhao Ritian. “Normally, bad people would run away after killing someone, but you do the opposite and don’t run away, in order to clear your name.”

"You've been playing the immortal cultivation game too much!" the man in the floral shirt sneered. "I don't need to clear my name, believe it or not."

Generally speaking, making statements like "believe it or not" would likely get you voted out in the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm, but Shen Zige didn't think the man in the floral shirt was lying, after all, this was the real world, not the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm.

Next, apart from Shen Zige, the other three kept arguing, as if they had to decide who would win the argument!

Another half hour passed.

In the distance, the figure of a man with a buzz cut appeared, rushing towards them at high speed.

The argument here came to an abrupt end.

The two men, using the aliases Zhao Ritian and Mu Lantian, had slightly flushed cheeks. They had been cursing Long Aotian for so long, but they never expected Yang Chongtian to come back alive. This was a slap in the face, and a very painful one at that!

"Am I not the protagonist of this time-travel story? What protagonist gets slapped in the face?" Zhao Ritian wondered.

"A little demon is ambushing me at Shenjin Mountain!" the crew-cut man, Yang Chongtian, said breathlessly.

"What! You can't even beat Xiao Yao? You've been kicked out of the main cast and relegated to a supporting role," Zhao Ritian mocked.

"Zhao Ritian, stop joking around at a time like this. You need to consider the occasion," said the female cultivator Mulan Tian. "If you can't keep your mouth shut, you're doomed sooner or later."

“It wasn’t just one, it was a whole group,” the man with the buzz cut said. “It’s amazing that I managed to escape alive.”

"Didn't the little demon enter the city?" Shen Zige thought of the crucial question.

"Maybe... I've already shaken them off." The man with the buzz cut wasn't sure.

"Maybe my foot! They're coming!" The young man in black, Zhao Ritian, pointed into the distance, where the demons of Shenjin Mountain surged into the city like a tide.

There were so many little demons that the ground shook and the roof beams broke from the trampling sounds.

There wasn't a single pedestrian to be seen on the street.

"Big-eared, blue-eyed demon!" the man in the floral shirt said. "Everyone, defend yourselves while fleeing to the side. Zhen Batian and Mulan Tian, ​​you two have the lowest cultivation levels, so just hide behind us."

Shen Zige had planned to fight alongside the others, but upon hearing what the man in the floral shirt said, she had no choice but to retreat.

“My cultivation level isn’t low.” Mulan Tian, ​​who was at the fifth level of the Spirit Condensation Realm, stepped forward and stood to Yang Chongtian’s left.

Soon, the blue-eyed demon approached, howling as it lunged at the group.

Three golden shields appeared, looking larger and stronger than the shields Shen Zige had previously conjured.

The man in the floral shirt, who used the alias Long Aotian, used a petrification spell. Judging from the power of his spell, it was similar to that of Shen Zige, and he didn't seem to be a late-stage Spirit Condensation cultivator.

"A steady, continuous flow," the man in the floral shirt explained.

The three golden shields in the air were torn apart by the blue-eyed demon's claw, as if they were made of paper.

"Don't use metal-based magic on them," the man in the floral shirt warned. "The little demons of Shenjin Mountain are weak against metal-based magic."

The petrification spell of the man in the floral shirt was also shattered, but it scattered in the air and rained down on the little demons below. The little demons that were petrified immediately became slow to move.

The others followed suit and used petrification to attack the blue-eyed demon.

Unfortunately, even the strongest fists can't fight off multiple opponents. The petrification spell couldn't reach all the blue-eyed demons. Five exceptionally agile blue-eyed demons broke through the magical defenses and attacked the group—

"Oh no, get out of the way!" the man in the floral shirt shouted, and was about to jump to the side.

A spinning fireball appeared in front of the Blue-Eyed Demon, then suddenly exploded, splitting into ten smaller fireballs that swiftly struck the eyes of five Blue-Eyed Demons!

boom--

The blue-eyed demon charging ahead had its eyes burning, then it covered its eyes, collapsed to the ground, screaming and rolling around.

Long Aotian, Zhao Ritian, Yang Chongtian, and Mu Lantian were shocked and couldn't believe it!

"Is this god-level skill and control?" Zhao Ritian murmured, thinking that this should be his skill!

The four recalled a game they had seen before their time travel, where an AI computer easily defeated twenty tanks with a hundred puppies. Shen Zige's fireball technique reminded them of this, both of which were god-level operations!

"You're so strong, why didn't you say so sooner?" Zhao Ritian turned around and questioned Shen Zige, "You're the epitome of hiding your true strength and playing dumb to fool others!"

"I wanted to go up and join the battle, but you told me to step back." Shen Zige shrugged, looking helpless.

“Very good, Shen Zige, you attack with us.” Yang Chongtian said, casting another petrification spell to repel the blue-eyed demon.

He wanted to use the explosive fireball like Shen Zige, but unfortunately his control was not accurate enough. The fireball would probably just fly past the little demon's head, only startling the opponent but not causing any damage.

With Shen Zige joining the fray, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced. Shen Zige's explosive fireballs accurately hit the eyes of the five blue-eyed demons every time, as if they were equipped with automatic tracking.

After fifty blue-eyed demons fell, a particularly tall blue-eyed demon in the demon horde roared several times, and all the blue-eyed demons immediately turned and fled, retreating like a receding tide.

"Is that the leader of the big-eared, blue-eyed demons?" Mulan Tian asked.

"It shouldn't be. The leader of the blue-eyed demons is a great demon, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage," said the man in the floral shirt. "This blue-eyed demon only has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Condensation stage."

"Thank goodness for Brother Zhen Batian, otherwise we would have been seriously injured or killed." Yang Chongtian, the man with the buzz cut, thanked Shen Zige.

“Zhen Batian, although you are only at the first level of the Spirit Condensation Realm, your true combat strength is no less than mine,” Zhao Ritian said. “If we were to fight, it might be difficult to determine a winner.”

"Putting everything else aside, are we still going to the new secret realm?" Shen Zige asked.

"Go! Now is the best time to go, while these little demons are gone!" The man in the floral shirt looked into the distance, his eyes resolute.

The five of them set off again.

After an hour of trekking through mountains and valleys, we finally arrived at the foot of Hulu Peak behind Shenjin Mountain.

"See that? There's a huge stone tablet at the foot of Calabash Peak. The top of the tablet is inscribed with 'Heavenly Sword Tablet.' The inscription on the tablet is in ancient script, and I can only understand a small part of it. It says that there is a secret realm called Sword Palace inside the tablet, which contains lost cultivation techniques and various treasures from various companies. The secret realm opens once every thousand years and lasts for three months each time. Only those at the Spirit Condensation stage can enter," the man in the floral shirt explained.

"The Sword Palace Secret Realm?" Everyone gasped in surprise.

Shen Zige was also very excited. He wished he could find a sword technique. He was in dire need of one. All the powerful sword techniques that Star Realm Company had collected had been destroyed by Heavenly Sword Palace.

"Could it be the Heavenly Sword Palace that once ruled the endless star field for 20,000 years?"

Most time travelers have read some history books, so they are naturally familiar with the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Of course, Shen Zige hadn't seen it; she had only heard Shi Yuan mention it.

“This secret realm has been opened more than ten times, meaning it has existed for more than ten thousand years,” the man in the floral shirt said.

“Let’s all go in together. There might be a treasure trove inside that hasn’t been discovered yet. Let’s work together to find it, and let Yang Chongtian take the first one,” suggested the female cultivator Mulan Tian.

Shen Zige and the others nodded in agreement.

It's not the right time to fight for the order in which to enter the secret realm. Everyone should go in together to ensure fairness.

The five people walked towards the stone tablet, which was tens of meters high. Ripples spread across the surface of the tablet as if it were flowing water, allowing them to enter.
