Supreme-grade Golden Core

The Lame Old Daoist counted on his fingers, his face breaking into a wide grin.

"It's done! A Supreme-grade Golden Core."

"Congratulations, Big Brother, on obtaining a Supreme-grade Golden Core today."

The Amputee Man beside him immediately fawned in agreement.

"Be alert. Don't let the duck that's already in your grasp fly away!" the Lame Old Daoist suppressed his excitement, admonishing in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"..."

A Supreme-grade Golden Core!

At this moment, it was quietly suspended within Ling Xuanxiao's dantian.

After enduring the lightning tribulation, he finally emerged slowly from the rolling thunderclouds.

Although his clothes had long been tattered by the lightning, Ling Xuanxiao still held his head high.

However, only he himself knew how intense the pain his body was enduring at this moment truly was.

Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being scorched by flames, a searing, bone-piercing agony.

A bloody sweetness surged up his throat, causing him to involuntarily spew out large mouthfuls of blood repeatedly.

This was the most weakened state after successfully passing the tribulation.

But as long as he could possess this peerlessly rare Supreme-grade Golden Core, it was all worth it.

Ling Xuanxiao was not blinded by this brief victory.

He sensed numerous presences around him, unable to determine which one might be a threat.

Normally, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage from Foundation Establishment wouldn't attract so many cultivators.

But the commotion caused by Ling Xuanxiao's Supreme-grade Golden Core was simply too immense.

Even the city lord of a nearby city had quickly dispatched people to rush over.

When faced with an uncertain situation, it's best to escape first.

At this moment, Ling Xuanxiao's figure suddenly halted.

Feng Sanniang appeared not far away.

Feng Sanniang had a smile on her face, and she was holding a cultivator in each hand.

A man and a woman, likely a couple.

Both had their eyes gouged out and their cultivation crippled by Feng Sanniang.

"Little Daoist friend, look how pitiful these two are. They've become this way because of you. I'm about to throw them down now."

To Feng Sanniang's left was a green python.

To her right was a black python.

If these two were thrown down, they would be swallowed by the black and green pythons respectively.

Feng Sanniang put on a pitiful expression. "Daoist friend is a disciple of a renowned righteous sect, and you act righteously. So, who will you save first at a time like this?"

After speaking, Feng Sanniang emphasized again.

"They are so innocent. Who knows, this woman might even be pregnant. What can be done about that?

If you, little Daoist friend, weren't undergoing tribulation here, we wouldn't have been attracted.

If we hadn't been attracted, this couple wouldn't have encountered us and met such a fate... You must seize this last opportunity to atone for your mistake."

Ling Xuanxiao glanced at the couple in her hands.

"My spirit snakes' venom will kill them with a single bite. I hope little Daoist friend is fast enough to save them~"

With that, Feng Sanniang applied a gentle force.

The two were thrown out in different directions.

Simultaneously, the black and green pythons sprang into action almost at the same time.

Both moved incredibly fast.

Feng Sanniang narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Ling Xuanxiao.

On her left sleeve was a Demon Binding Rope, and on her right sleeve was a hairpin, which was also a Treasure Artifact, a tool for killing.

If the opponent went to save the female cultivator, the Demon Binding Rope would launch a surprise attack from behind.

Conversely, if he went to save the male cultivator, the hairpin would attack him.

No matter what, the opponent would have to save the people while simultaneously dealing with the venomous snakes and her own magical artifacts.

Feng Sanniang's tactic was nothing new.

What they had more of than the Righteous Path Cultivators was a lack of bottom line. Their moral standards were higher.

Therefore, those from righteous sects often had no way to deal with them.

This move, though simple, is always effective; it's all about a blatant scheme.

Countless Righteous Path Cultivators have already fallen victim to this tactic.

Ling Xuanxiao's figure flickered.

Feng Sanniang's eyebrows twitched.

As expected, most people would choose to save the female cultivator.

My earlier mention that the female cultivator in my hands might be pregnant had likely struck a chord with them.

Feng Sanniang smiled faintly, flicked her sleeve, and activated her Treasure Artifact.

"Regret your choice..."

The next instant.

Feng Sanniang spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Xuanxiao, with a sword finger formed by one hand, pierced through her head.

So... so fast!!

How could he be here!?

Feng Sanniang hadn't even recovered before her eyes went blank, her Spiritual Sense rapidly dissipating.

To her death, she never expected him to charge straight at her without hesitation.

Meanwhile, that unfortunate couple had already met their end in the snake's maw.

Li Xuanxiao didn't have time to spare another glance at the two. A gentleman doesn't save those who can't be saved.

At least I avenged you.

After killing Feng Sanniang, he didn't linger.

His figure flickered as he fled into the distance.

"Sanniang!!"

"Bastard, don't you dare leave!!"

Shouts and the sound of air being torn apart erupted from behind him.

Li Xuanxiao plunged into the forest.

Two amputee men followed closely behind.

Coincidentally, one was missing his left arm, and the other his right.

Both brothers had feelings for Feng Sanniang, but now that she had been killed by this person, how could they not hate him!!

"Although he's in the Golden Core Stage now, he just passed his lightning tribulation and is physically weak. The two of us at the peak of Foundation Establishment can still kill him."

"Avenge Sanniang."

"Ah!"

"Watch out... ah!"

The sounds abruptly ceased.

Poisonous mist exploded, instantly disorienting the two men.

Immediately after, poison needles shot out from all directions.

Li Xuanxiao had lured the pursuers into a trap he had set.

He had meticulously planned his escape route in advance precisely to prevent such a situation.

Those relentlessly pursuing him were either hit by the puppet's poison needles, or ensnared by vines equipped with formations, and then killed by the toxins within...

Or, a series of explosions were triggered.

By the time Li Xuanxiao had fled a hundred miles, there were no pursuers left behind him.

It's over...

"Little thief, do you think this old man's Golden Core realm is just for show!!"

The Lame Old Daoist descended from the sky.

Having lost all his subordinates in one go, he was extremely enraged.

This person was indeed worthy of cultivating a Supreme-grade Golden Core.

However, thinking of possessing this Supreme-grade Golden Core, it was worth it even if all his subordinates were wiped out.

With a single strike, the Lame Old Daoist prepared to pierce through Li Xuanxiao's chest.

There are differences even within the Golden Core realm, not to mention that the opponent had just finished his tribulation and hadn't had enough time to digest the power brought by this Supreme-grade Golden Core.

A heavy thud echoed from his hand; his opponent's chest was not pierced.

On the contrary, the Lame Old Daoist felt a suction force that absorbed his full-power strike.

"Roar—!!"

He vaguely seemed to hear the sound of a dragon's roar.

An Acquired Spirit Treasure!!

The Lame Old Daoist was both shocked and delighted.

An Innate Spirit Treasure on his person, a Supreme-grade Golden Core.

Thank the heavens for this bounty.

He couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

However, the next second, he felt dizzy and his body grew weak.

He hadn't noticed at all that a tiny wound had appeared on his finger at some point.

The Gold-Silver Blood Snake's venom.

Back then, Lin Wanqing, as a Grand Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, and with the blessing of her bloodline.

Even so, she had directly lost consciousness.

And the Lame Old Daoist's strength was far inferior to Lin Wanqing's.

The poison entered his body, and he died on the spot.

Heaven's gifts and crises always arrive at the same time; the key is which one you can grasp.

Li Xuanxiao, worried that the poison might not kill the opponent, didn't forget to deliver a finishing blow.

Then, he continued to flee without looking back.

He didn't even have time to loot the body; he couldn't be greedy now.

Being greedy again could easily cost him his life.

His vision was blurring, and it seemed like he couldn't hold on any longer.

He had to find a place to recuperate.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the name has just been changed!
