Zhuhao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. The strain from using such a secret technique was considerable, but Zhuhao dared not stop. He knew that his two junior brothers couldn't hold off Shen Hua for long. If Zhuhao dared to stop, only death awaited him.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAkDRUZJREtV
But Zhuhao still had a glimmer of hope. He knew that there was a Golden Elixir elder from the Jisu Sect nearby. This elder was Zhuhao's protector. As a seedling of the Jisu Sect's Yuanying stage, Zhuhao was naturally accompanied by a protector. However, the protector wouldn't always be by Zhuhao's side, but they wouldn't be too far away either. In case Zhuhao encountered danger, he could send a distress signal to the elder, who would swiftly come to his aid. After all, a Golden Elixir cultivator held significant status and wouldn't serve as a personal bodyguard.
12Please respect copyright.PENANADeBBSKa25m
Upon learning that Shen Hua had reached the Golden Elixir realm, Zhuhao immediately crushed his communication jade pendant, notifying the Golden Elixir cultivator from the Jisu Sect and flying towards their location at full speed.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAPmEkC4M8R0
Shen Hua's expression turned sour because even though he had easily dispatched the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, it still delayed his time. Zhuhao's speed was also peculiar, seemingly approaching the level of a Golden Elixir cultivator. However, movement techniques were Shen Hua's weakness, and his speed was among the lowest among Golden Elixir cultivators. Thus, Shen Hua found it difficult to catch up.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAYCkNTVv16Z
With a grim expression, Shen Hua stared at Zhuhao and unleashed a powerful force in his palm.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAy5fCgFuUFs
"Wind Absorption."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAxNmaZcQVHr
A fierce wind howled as a strong suction force appeared in Shen Hua's palm. Zhuhao's speed suddenly faltered.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAd6hkqWrnN7
Shen Hua's mouth curled up slightly as he activated his movement technique, flying towards Zhuhao.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAfRgPPZ08w0
Zhuhao's heart pounded as he knew that if he didn't break free from the strange suction force, he would likely meet his end here. Shen Hua was closing in from behind, and Zhuhao had no second life-saving artifact to withstand attacks from a Golden Elixir cultivator.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAWeno3wgkxo
"I can't die! I still have to avenge my father and brother, advance to the Golden Elixir realm, and even to the Yuanying stage. How can I die here? I am Zhuhao!"
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGXQ20ayFak
With a determined resolve, Zhuhao decisively used the secret technique again, exchanging his lifespan for speed. His face was as pale as paper, and using the secret technique twice in succession placed an immense burden on his body. However, under the influence of Shen Hua's wind absorption, Zhuhao's speed was not as fast as before.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAPJkDwEh0Xf
The distance between Shen Hua and Zhuhao was getting closer and closer. Finally, Shen Hua grabbed Zhuhao by the neck.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAQcn2oKURnd
"Now, I'll send you on your way."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAUPYZpZNu3q
"You dare!" A majestic voice rang out.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAmtVUumjJ03
A Daoist figure stood in mid-air, with fluttering robes and an aura that faintly contained the might of Golden Elixir. Shen Hua's complexion darkened. The situation had changed; a Golden Elixir cultivator from the Jisu Sect had arrived.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAYkoHQDGKGv
Zhuhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the majestic voice, knowing that he was saved.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAazfWZshXRF
"I am a seedling of the Jisu Sect's Yuanying stage. You can't kill me. Killing me would be tantamount to declaring war on the Jisu Sect. Even if you are a Golden Elixir cultivator, you can't bear the wrath of the Jisu Sect."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAIAKgP26JQB
"If you have murderous intent towards him, then you will become an enemy of our Jisu Sect."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Qvgf6Faw
"I am Qingshang, a true disciple of the Jisu Sect. Our sect has at least ten cultivators with my level of strength."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAzquxQKEU9i
Shen Hua narrowed his eyes, staring at Qingshang, the Daoist figure. Despite their different appearances, they shared many similarities, especially in their demeanor, which was disdainful and lofty.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAaYL9komh3Q
Shen Hua's mouth curled up slightly as he activated his mana between his palms.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAb12RhlwzJ1
"How dare you!" Zhuhao shouted in horror.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA5AqB2PrPr7
Before Zhuhao's voice fell, his body turned into powder, leaving only his head. The head still bore Zhuhao's expression of shock and disbelief.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA7NSXSywDJU
Qingshang's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Good, it seems you are determined to be enemies with my Jisu Sect," Qingshang's voice was cold.
12Please respect copyright.PENANACPCsRB6v5V
"I'll come and learn about the abilities of the Jisu Sect's true disciples. Let's see if your bones are as tough as your mouth," Shen Hua's expression remained indifferent.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAP5bQtOJAT3
"How dare you, a newly promoted Golden Elixir junior, dare to be so arrogant in front of me."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAiU5X6d2aQj
"Today, I'll let you know the might of the Jisu Sect."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAKIzD2VyMcl
Shen Hua's eyes remained indifferent. He knew that he had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with the Jisu Sect. It was better to use this opportunity with Qingshang to test his strength in the Golden Elixir realm. After all, Golden Elixir cultivators wielded the power of the Dao, and their spiritual consciousness and mana were much stronger than when they were at the Foundation Establishment stage. This made Golden Elixir cultivators extremely difficult to kill. And the current Qingshang was only in the early stages of Golden Elixir cultivation, making him the perfect whetstone.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGk3MBlqzv4
After understanding the gap between his strength and the Golden Elixir cultivators of the Jisu Sect, Shen Hua knew how to proceed in the future. The strength of the Jisu Sect was indeed formidable, and now that he had formed such enmity with them, he must be cautious in his actions in the future. Otherwise, even with his Golden Elixir cultivation, there would be risks of being overturned.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnGwourxunt
Qingshang was already furious after witnessing the death of the Yuanying seedling protected by him at the hands of Shen Hua. Shen Hua's words further enraged him. It had been many years since anyone dared to speak to him in such a manner since he advanced to the Golden Elixir realm. Today, Qingshang would no longer hold back. He released his powerful Golden Elixir pressure without reservation.
12Please respect copyright.PENANARHz6qJ5oDx
Qingshang held the whisk around his waist, gripping it tightly. With the infusion of mana, it emitted a faint glow. He aimed it at Shen Hua and forcefully swung it. A beam of white light, carrying a strong destructive aura, flew towards Shen Hua.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAknXrOWmcAu
Shen Hua naturally knew that the first move was mainly a probing attack. This was both an opportunity for Qingshang to understand Shen Hua and for Shen Hua to understand Qingshang. Shen Hua did not deliberately dodge this attack. He wanted to know how much difference there was between him and these veteran Golden Elixir cultivators.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA9CsThXqtFa
The fierce wind surrounded Shen Hua, who was like a king in the wind, freely controlling the roaring winds.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAIzOwP46IYW
"Wind Dragon."
12Please respect copyright.PENANAZZLhV02UZj
Shen Hua no longer possessed his original Foundation Establishment artifact since it was not suitable for battles between Golden Elixir cultivators. His mastery of wind techniques was also not adept at defense, so he had to rely on offense.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAmnOJmgdESB
As Shen Hua's strongest offensive move now, the Wind Dragon naturally had its strengths that couldn't be easily defended against. With the blessing of Shen Hua's 600 Dao lines, the power of the Wind Dragon was terrifying.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Phfju2kv
The Wind Dragon, with its teeth bared and claws outstretched, collided with the white light beam. Almost instantly upon impact, the white light beam began to crumble, while the Wind Dragon remained intact.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAMyf1usa8Ki
Howling, the Wind Dragon pounced directly towards Qingshang, who stood in the air. Qingshang was somewhat panicked. He did not expect Shen Hua to use such a powerful move so early in the probing stage.
Qingshang was taken aback to see that Shen Hua, despite just advancing to the Golden Elixir stage, had impressive strength. His previous attack had not affected the Wind Dragon summoned by Shen Hua.
12Please respect copyright.PENANArIikDBaqsu
"It seems I won't get away without showing my true abilities today," Qingshang thought to himself.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAZPeJYr0UzK
Qingshang gritted his teeth and took out a seal stained with a bit of blood from his waist. The seal was inscribed with complex runes. Qingshang chanted an incantation, infusing mana into the seal, which transformed into a puppet.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAnirpMz9bFk
The puppet stood over ten feet tall, wrapped in a greenish exoskeleton, with its face covered by a mask, only revealing two eyes emitting a faint blue light.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA3G2sVAbCkz
Shen Hua nodded slightly as he observed the puppet formed from the seal. He acknowledged that this Golden Elixir cultivator had indeed accumulated a diverse array of techniques.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA42YDdoYhiD
The puppet, clad in green armor, stood firmly in front of Qingshang, showing no fear in the face of the powerful Wind Dragon. Shen Hua's Wind Dragon was a combination of various wind spells, containing numerous wind blades and vortexes. With the amplification of Shen Hua's Dao lines, the power of these wind spells had tripled. As a result, the armor on the puppet's body was heavily damaged, despite Qingshang's reinforcement spells.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAm8WB8I0LV4
Qingshang yelled angrily, "You, a newly ascended Golden Elixir cultivator, how could your wind spells be so terrifying?"
12Please respect copyright.PENANA38gJ0x5DTp
Shen Hua knew that his experience of passing the Golden Elixir Tribulation might have granted him more Dao lines than ordinary cultivators. However, he ignored Qingshang's question and continued to control the Wind Dragon. He didn't want to unnecessarily reveal his special circumstances.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA2EN8e1igXo
As the Wind Dragon gradually dissipated, the towering figure of the green-armored puppet reappeared, albeit in a much worse state than before, with damaged armor and a partially dislodged mask, revealing some mechanical components inside.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAQlsTNW91yy
"Now it's time for you to see my prowess," Qingshang said fiercely. The puppet flew straight towards Shen Hua, its large body appearing awkward and clumsy.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAq2J5fOW5QN
Shen Hua, despite having used two Wind Dragons in such a short time, knew exactly how to deal with the cumbersome puppet. He enhanced his agility and speed with Windwalk while using spells like Earth Swamp and Wind Vortex to hinder the puppet's movements.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAiKUFlYbKT6
Although Shen Hua wasn't particularly skilled in evasion techniques, dealing with such a clumsy puppet was well within his capabilities. However, Qingshang was not idle; he continuously shot out white beams of light from his whisk.
