316: Chapter 149: One Spear, Blood River, People of Hundred Peaks_2 316: Chapter 149: One Spear, Blood River, People of Hundred Peaks_2 Members of the Hundred Peaks Sect each sat cross-legged on the ground, frantically gathering their own mana, resisting the strands one after another, yet no matter how they resisted, they could still feel streams of mana flowing out from their bodies towards that bizarre female demon head.
“Still trying to resist?
With just you all, you think you can stop me?
Today, all of you will be refined by me.” The female demon looked in the direction of the members of the Hundred Peaks Sect, a smile appearing on her face, but paired with that eerie face of hers, this smile was even more bone-chilling.
“I thought I was just refining a small town casually, but I didn’t expect to find such a windfall of fine materials.”
As the last syllable fell, she suddenly turned her head and shot a black thread of Qi towards Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen instinctively saw a flash of black light before his eyes, and his body was already wrapped in these threads of black Qi.
Such speed!
Ever since he had come to this world, this was the first time he faced such a fast attack; he hadn’t even had time to react before the Qi threads had already landed on him.
That Qi seemed to be nothing more than a thread of demonic Qi, but he could feel a torrent of pure and incomparable demonic Qi surge towards him like a raging river.
Among the officials, Tao Ruo Chang, the town mayor, knelt on the ground.
He didn’t even glance at Cao Zhen but instead shouted in rage, “White-haired witch, why must you do this?
I did everything you asked, you promised to spare my family.”
“Spare your family?
What a joke.” The white-haired witch let out a piercing screech as a hand emerged from her wide sleeves.
Her fingers, like her face, were pale without a trace of blood and exceedingly thin, looking as if they were merely skin stretched over bone, as if there was no flesh at all.
She extended a finger towards Tao Ruo Chang.
Suddenly, a black Finger Energy shot out, like a black arrow, slicing through the air and violently penetrating Tao Ruo Chang’s body.
In an instant, a large hole opened up in Tao Ruo Chang’s chest, and his body fell straight back, with a face full of resentment, he shouted at the white-haired witch, “White-haired witch, do you think you can live?
You won’t live much longer either; I had already secretly burnt the imperial edict.
The Town Immortal Imperial Dynasty will soon send experts here.
You will die as well, and I’ll have you accompany my family in death!”
As the last word from Tao Ruo Chang fell, his breath was no more, being just a mortal whose chest had been pierced, he was as dead as one could be.
“Imperial edict!” Fear flashed across the face of the white-haired witch.
She knew that the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty provided officials with an imperial edict that could be burnt to alert the imperial court if they encountered trouble involving cultivators.
If the court sent experts…
The white-haired witch grew anxious, and an even richer Demonic Qi suddenly burst forth from her, causing the black threads to thicken considerably at that moment.
Cao Zhen felt an endless surge of Demonic Qi coming, seemingly intent on draining his very essence alive.
This demoness, she was even stronger than the Bloodthirsty Mad Demon!
In an instant, Cao Zhen unleashed his Heretical Golden Core!
At once, a vast and boundless mana exploded from within the Heretical Golden Core, and under the sudden force of impact, the black Qi threads connected to Cao Zhen were shattered.
“What is this?”
The white-haired witch, looking at the Exotic Pill that suddenly appeared in the sky like a Golden Core, her face showed a trace of astonishment, “A mere Core Formation able to sever my refining threads.”
As Cao Zhen shattered the Qi threads, the Heretical Golden Core immediately fell into his palm, with strands of Purple Thunder energy pouring into the Heretical Golden Core.
Five-thunder Righteous Method!
Behind Cao Zhen, the Phenomenon Altar, Phenomenon Immortal Bridge, and Phenomenon Pill all manifested.
His aura soared in an instant, using the Heretical Golden Core as the source, he launched a powerful strike using the Five-thunder Righteous Method.
This attack was without any reservation!
In the sky, the thick Purple Thunder, like a Purple Thunderbolt Dragon, seemed to break through the heavens, coming from the distant end of the sky with unrivaled power and crashing down suddenly.
“Hm?
Core Formation Stage, yet capable of unleashing such might?”
The astonishment in the white-haired demon’s eyes intensified.
With a casual wave above her head, black Qi converged to form a cloud of black Demonic Qi that blocked above her head.
The Purple Thunder, seemingly capable of destroying mountains and cleaving rivers, pounded heavily onto the cloud of Demonic Qi, but it was as if it had fallen into a bottomless sea of endless Demonic Qi, consumed completely without raising even the slightest sound or ripple.
“Interesting, truly interesting.”
She looked at Cao Zhen, and though surprised, she showed no fear, instead smiling as if looking at an amusing toy, “It has been long since I’ve seen someone as interesting as you.
A mere Core Formation, yet capable of unleashing such a mighty blow.
That strike just now, not even those who have condensed five or even six Golden Cores would necessarily be able to block it.”
Cao Zhen, seeing the complete disappearance of the Five-thunder Righteous Method, was utterly stunned.
His attack had been blocked just like that?
This was the Five-thunder Righteous Method cultivated by that guy Xiang Ziyu, reaching the peak of Perfect Completion Golden Core!
