Sword Slash Foundation Establishment Five

"The Heavenly Mystery Mirror is in hand, but we've been ambushed and can't break free right now."

Rakshasa sent a divine sense message, directly to the thing wriggling in his heart.

He had made an additional preparation!

Ever since the Blood Corpse True Person died, Rakshasa had felt uneasy.

After much deliberation, Rakshasa couldn't afford to worry about anything else and contacted the leader of the Underworld forces in Zhenjiang Prefecture – Asura.

After explaining the situation, Asura arranged a backup plan for Rakshasa.

It was originally just a precautionary measure.

Now, it seemed to have become a lifesaver.

The instant the message was sent.

Above the City Lord's mansion, in the vast void, a single eye suddenly opened.

Its eyelids were deep purple, and its pupil was filled with icy coldness.

It was as if a celestial demon was gazing upon all things in the mortal realm.

Qi Yuan inwardly knew something was amiss.

Ignoring the struggling War Beast, he formed another hand seal with his right hand.

The black palm dissipated, and the mist re-formed into a sharp spear, piercing towards the Cry Soul True Person.

But it was too late.

The moment the black mist spear arrived.

A layer of purple flowing light enveloped both the Cry Soul True Person and Rakshasa.

Then, the purple flowing light, along with the Cry Soul True Person and Rakshasa, vanished into thin air.

All that remained on the field were the War Beast within the formation and several Underworld cultivators with other tasks.

Only Rakshasa and the Cry Soul True Person had escaped; the others were abandoned.

Tantai Qingrun landed in front of Qi Yuan.

"Void Demon Child!" Tantai Qingrun's expression was grave.

Qi Yuan nodded, "I didn't expect the Underworld to risk awakening the Void Demon Child to seize my Heavenly Mystery Mirror Fragment this time."

The Demon race revered bloodlines.

And Void was one of the eight most noble Holy Demon bloodlines of the Demon race.

Those with the Void bloodline, without needing to cultivate or comprehend, naturally possessed a certain mastery over the true meaning of space. As their strength increased, their mastery over the true meaning of space would also continuously strengthen.

An incredibly heaven-defying bloodline ability!

The purple flowing light that had just enveloped Rakshasa and the Cry Soul True Person was the unique spatial displacement ability of Void.

In Qingzhou, the Underworld was led by the Void Demon Child.

To avoid being tracked by the Heavenly Mystery Temple.

The Void Demon Child had been in a dormant state, concealing its aura.

But with the Void Demon Child's rash action this time, even if the aftermath was handled perfectly, the traces of its actions could never be completely erased.

Using these traces, perhaps the Human race would find a way to locate the Void Demon Child.

Although the Heavenly Mystery Mirror Fragment was lost, they had forced the Void Demon Child to act once.

It was still unclear which side had the upper hand.

In a secluded corner within Yuanshan City.

A ball of purple flowing light suddenly appeared.

Then, the purple flowing light gradually dissipated, revealing the figures within.

It was the Cry Soul True Person, who had escaped using the Void Demon Child's ability.

Pfft—

The Cry Soul True Person's throat felt a sweetness, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

Although he had successfully escaped through the spatial displacement technique at the last moment.

Qi Yuan's final attack had still managed to affect him with a sliver of its power.

The attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a slight ripple, was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could withstand.

He was severely injured.

But that was not important. What was important was that in this operation, only he and Rakshasa had escaped.

Thinking of this, the Cry Soul True Person revealed a smug smile.

The moment he realized they were ambushed, he had understood one thing.

If Rakshasa hadn't made any backup preparations, they would have been annihilated within the formation this time.

If the Rakshasa had prepared a contingency, it would have been impossible for everyone to escape safely.

Therefore, the moment the Golden Core Nether Cultivator fell, the Cry Soul True Person decisively acted, snatching the storage ring containing the Heavenly Mystery Mirror Fragment.

The ultimate objective of this operation was in his hands.

No matter what, he was the most deserving person to be saved among all the Underworld cultivators present.

As expected.

Even the War Beasts were abandoned, but he was not.

The Cry Soul True Person glanced at his current location.

Still within Yuanshan City.

The Void Demon Child attacked from an unknown distance, so the power of his divine abilities had naturally weakened considerably.

This spatial teleportation was not only very short-range but also lacked precise control over the destination.

Thus, although he and the Rakshasa were teleported away simultaneously, their landing points were different.

But there was no need to fear, as long as they escaped the encirclement.

The Underworld had already arranged teleportation arrays within the city.

With this thought, the Cry Soul True Person dared not delay further and hurried to the stronghold where the teleportation array was located.

After Lu Qingshan and Great King West Rat finished ransacking Ku Mansion, they left contentedly.

Just as they exited Ku Mansion, a black spiritual light shot up into the sky, catching Lu Qingshan's attention.

That was the location of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Qingshan murmured.

Lu Qingshan understood that the Underworld must have begun their operation.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingshan shook his head.

With his Qi Refining cultivation, there was nothing he could do to intervene in this battle.

It was better not to bother with these things and just wait for the outcome.

Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

"Lu Qingshan, that person ahead... looks a bit familiar?!" Great King West Rat's voice came to his ears.

Lu Qingshan looked ahead and saw a man in a deep purple brocade robe hurrying along, seemingly anxious about something.

Lu Qingshan had never seen this person before.

"This is your first time in Yuanshan City, how could you know anyone here?" Lu Qingshan chuckled.

Suddenly, Lu Qingshan and Great King West Rat both reacted.

"Could it be?"

Great King West Rat nodded his rat head vigorously: "It's him, that perverted male cultivator from Ku Mansion, the Cry Soul True Person."

Indeed, the only acquaintance Great King West Rat had in Yuanshan City seemed to be this Cry Soul True Person.

Lu Qingshan's heart stirred.

Why would this person be here at this particular time?

Regardless of anything else, Lu Qingshan first cast a Heavenly Eye Technique.

Cry Soul True Person (Human) Profession: Sword Cultivator Cultivation Method: [Qi Guiding Technique] Lv10 (max!) / [Soul Leaving Scripture] Lv16 (2000/4600) Tier: Foundation Establishment Attributes: Strength 22, ???, ??? Health: ? (Severely Injured) Spirit Power: ??? Skills: ???, ???, ??? Talent: ???

This was a Sword Cultivator with a total level of 26, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The moment Lu Qingshan saw the Cry Soul True Person's panel attributes, he made up his mind.

He was going to kill this Cry Soul True Person.

Firstly, for the vast amount of Experience a Foundation Establishment cultivator provided.

Secondly, at this very moment, seeing the Cry Soul True Person appear here, Lu Qingshan felt that if he could capture the Cry Soul True Person before him, he would gain considerable rewards.

Third, and most importantly.

He wanted to kill!

While in the Ku Mansion, upon seeing the numerous female cauldrons being raised by the Cry Soul True Person in that small building, he developed a killing intent towards the Cry Soul True Person.

Lu Qingshan gave a reminder to Great King West Rat.

At the same time, he disguised himself as an ordinary passerby and casually approached the Cry Soul True Person.

He was within attack range.

Lu Qingshan took out his Peachwood Sword from his Storage Bag.

He fully activated all the Thunder power stored within the Peachwood Sword.

A thick, purple-green sword beam shot towards the Cry Soul True Person.

The Cry Soul True Person hastily changed his clothes, disguised himself as an ordinary cultivator, and was preparing to quietly head to a secret stronghold of the Underworld in Yuanshan City.

Unexpectedly, while walking, he was suddenly ambushed.

The Cry Soul True Person's heart chilled, thinking he had been discovered.

But he instinctively controlled his Natal Sword, unleashing it from his dantian to slash at the incoming sword beam.

Without any effort, the purple-green sword beam was instantly defeated by the Cry Soul True Person's flying sword.

Only then did the Cry Soul True Person notice that the attacker was just a very young boy.

A cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining?

The Cry Soul True Person felt bewildered.

But seeing Lu Qingshan holding the Peachwood Sword, looking as if he was going to charge right at his face.

Although he found it somewhat absurd and laughable – Where did you get the courage?

He couldn't afford to think about anything else. With a thought, after defeating the Lightning Sword Beam, his flying sword continued its attack towards Lu Qingshan.

For a Qi Refining cultivator, he only needed the most ordinary flying sword attack to easily kill him.

Light flashed on Lu Qingshan's body.

The Golden Light Shield from the Golden Essence Ring Spirit Artifact was triggered!

"Now!" Lu Qingshan shouted.

Great King West Rat understood.

Soul Loss Technique!

Even though it was only a level 1 Soul Loss Technique, and the Cry Soul True Person was caught off guard, its effect was not strong.

Under the effect of the Soul Loss Technique, the Cry Soul True Person was only stunned for an extremely brief moment, less than a breath.

But for Lu Qingshan, this moment was enough.

He released the Peachwood Sword in his hand, gathered spiritual power in his palm, and then grabbed the Cry Soul Sword that was about to hit his face!

The Cry Soul True Person regained his senses and found the situation somewhat absurd.

The Cry Soul Sword was his Natal Sword. If Lu Qingshan could disarm him just like that, what was the point of a Sword Cultivator cultivating their sword!

Didn't you see that the Underworld had to use War Beasts to sever Qi Yuan's connection with the Heavenly Mystery Mirror Fragment just to seize it?

And the connection between a Sword Cultivator and their Natal Sword is countless times closer.

With a thought, the Cry Soul True Person prepared to control the Cry Soul Sword to directly slash at Lu Qingshan.

But!

The Cry Soul True Person couldn't help but freeze.

The Cry Soul Sword, which had always responded like an extension of his arm, now felt as if it were mired in a swamp, incredibly difficult to control!

The Cry Soul True Person was preparing to increase his effort.

But it was too late.

The sword edge was sharp and menacing.

A dazzling cold light flashed before the Cry Soul True Person's eyes.

Lu Qingshan, holding the Cry Soul Sword, had already slashed towards the Cry Soul True Person's face.

Falling Bright Sword Art!
