Treasure Snatching

Chen Lin stared at the scene in shock, his heart filled with immense awe.

This was the first time he had witnessed a high-level Cultivator in action, and it was truly terrifying!

This was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; how spectacular would a legendary Golden Core True Person be!

However, he quickly reconsidered, realizing that the light sword was formed by a Formation Disk and might not represent true strength, so he didn't need to despair too much.

His own Thunderclap No. 4 might still be able to blow up a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

No matter how strong their Magical Power was, they were still flesh and blood, not metal. As long as he could catch them off guard before they activated their defensive spells, he didn't believe it would have no effect at all.

At this moment.

As the Lan Family's giant ship made its move, a light sword also appeared in another, slightly more distant location, slicing through a large patch of red lines.

Following that, two more light swords appeared.

Finally, in front of Chen Lin and the others, a sword energy shot up into the sky, shattering the red lines rushing towards them.

That wasn't all. After the red lines were severed, beams of light shot out from the five locations simultaneously, intertwining in different colors to form a new light sword.

Although this light sword wasn't particularly huge, it was more solid, as if it were real. It flowed smoothly, constantly shifting through five different colors.

"Hmph, they still have some courage. It wasn't a waste of my efforts!"

Yu Yuehai's eyes showed a rare hint of pleasant surprise as he blurted out.

"Senior Brother, those old guys from the Five Great Families probably can't harm this Abnormality. Although it hasn't fully formed, at this stage, it possesses power comparable to a Golden Core. If it fully forms, none of us will even have a chance to escape!" Ye Jingyun clearly understood the situation and Yu Yuehai's intentions, and couldn't help but try to dissuade him.

Yu Yuehai remained unmoved. A flash of madness and determination crossed his eyes. He suddenly patted his Storage Bag and said grimly, "They can't do it, so I'll give them a helping hand!"

With that, he spat a large mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Formation Disk.

The Formation Disk rumbled, and a giant light sword was condensed.

Yu Yuehai then took out a constantly wriggling black object and flung it with force.

The black object twisted and shrieked as it landed on the light sword. The light sword instantly turned black and began to writhe and twist as if it were alive, even growing limbs and fangs!

"Night Demon! Senior Brother, you actually have this thing!"

Ye Jingyun was extremely shocked, a hint of terror showing deep in her eyes.

"Heh heh, a single Night Demon isn't something to be so alarmed about."

Yu Yuehai chuckled proudly.

"Senior Brother, you should know that Night Demons are extremely dangerous. Once you're tainted, you'll be demonized! We shouldn't covet that Abnormality's Strange Spirit; let's leave quickly!" Ye Jingyun's tone was extremely anxious as she continued to persuade him.

Yu Yuehai's expression flickered, showing a moment of hesitation, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He didn't answer Ye Jingyun but looked up intently at the sky.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Ye Jingyun's face, but she quickly became expressionless.

At this moment, the five-colored light sword in the sky had already been fully condensed. A chilling aura that made one's hair stand on end instantly emanated from the giant sword.

The giant sword tore through the sky, slashing towards the Abnormality's phantom.

The Abnormality's phantom seemed to sense the danger and began to twist and shake violently, also showing a provoked anger.

But for some reason, the Abnormality couldn't move to dodge. It could only release a large number of red lines to block, but they were all cut by the light sword, which finally struck the enormous phantom.

The Abnormality's phantom shook repeatedly, as if enduring immense pain.

At this moment, Yu Yuehai also pointed at the mutated light sword and said, "Go!"

The black light sword shot out like a projectile, piercing towards the Abnormality's phantom.

The mutated black light sword moved incredibly fast, disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye. Because it was already night and the light sword was black, Chen Lin couldn't see its trajectory.

But the next moment, a muffled thunderous sound erupted from within the Abnormality's phantom. The giant phantom suddenly shattered.

It had actually exploded!

This scene left Chen Lin completely dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was seeing.

That terrifying entity, whose level was unknown and which had secretly controlled thousands of Cultivators in Kaiyuan City, was killed just like that?

As the monster's phantom exploded, the giant flying ship in the sky immediately emitted a beam of light and shot towards the city.

Then, four more figures followed closely behind.

These five individuals moved extremely fast, clearly Foundation Establishment powerhouses. They were obviously going to seize some treasure.

Given how powerful the Abnormality was, it was impossible for it to leave nothing behind after its demise.

Among the surviving Qi Refining Cultivators below, some were also stirring, but no one dared to contend with the Foundation Establishment powerhouses. Even if the Abnormality's corpse was a treasure trove, it was not something they could claim.

Even smarter individuals immediately accelerated their escape, choosing not to see what they couldn't interfere with.

Chen Lin noticed that Yu Yuehai hadn't moved.

Others might not know, but they had personally witnessed how much effort he had put into achieving this outcome, using every trick in the book. Yet, he was giving up when it was time to collect the spoils?

What did this mean, doing good deeds?

While confused, Chen Lin suddenly felt a chill. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, though he didn't know when they had started.

As the snowflakes appeared, a cold and arrogant aura filled the entire space, and then the collapsing phantom of the Abnormality quickly closed in.

It wasn't dead.

Not only was it not dead, but countless tentacles appeared, counterattacking the assailants.

However, the patriarchs of the Five Great Families wouldn't have dared to come without some backing. They each deployed their Magic Tools, emitting bursts of spiritual light, and fiercely bombarded the Abnormality's phantom.

But the Abnormality seemed unkillable. No matter how they attacked, it only caused parts of its body to crack before instantly fusing back together.

On the contrary, the offensive power of these five Foundation Establishment powerhouses grew weaker and weaker, as if they were at the end of their rope.

After struggling for a while longer, the five Foundation Establishment powerhouses saw that the situation was hopeless and immediately turned to flee the battlefield, abandoning their plan to seize the treasure.

Unexpectedly, the Abnormality was unwilling to let them go.

Five thick red lines shot out, descending upon them.

They were also prepared. The five of them joined forces to condense a sword of light, no less impressive than one condensed using a Formation Disk, and slashed horizontally at the red lines.

But a sight that filled them with horror appeared.

This time, the red lines were exceptionally tough, and they couldn't be severed in one go!

The red lines flickered once, then accurately connected the five individuals. Their bodies stiffened simultaneously, and they began to wither and decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, as Foundation Establishment cultivators, they didn't immediately turn into dried husks.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

Seeing this, the cultivators of the Five Great Families cried out in alarm. Several beams of light rushed forward, attempting a rescue.

Unfortunately, their cultivation was too weak. Before they could get close, they were struck by the Abnormality's red lines, turned into dried husks, and fell to the ground.

The scene was utterly tragic.
