Reward for Saving a Life

A Nascent Soul Cultivator whose body had been destroyed still had the escape route of letting their Nascent Soul leave the body.

Though a Golden Core Cultivator's divine soul could persist for some time after death, it had no ability to flee on its own.

With head and body separated, death was naturally certain.

That Nascent Soul Cultivator reacted with extreme speed, waving a crimson ball of spiritual power toward Wang Daoyuan.

Wang Daoyuan used Void Breaking Sword Evasion, transforming into a flying sword and pulling away.

Silver streams of light swirled around his body, turning into thirty-six sword shadows that struck the crimson ball of spiritual power.

Only after every sword shadow shattered did they barely block the attack.

He then dispersed his evasion art, used the Hidden Demon Art, and concealed himself once more.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator spread out his divine sense to inspect the surroundings.

He searched for a full three breaths, yet failed to find any trace of Wang Daoyuan.

Now, his scalp began to prickle. A cultivator capable of taking one of his attacks head-on, who also possessed such a formidable concealment art...

That level of strength was already enough to threaten his life.

If this continued, it would not merely be two Golden Core Cultivators who died.

He recalled the order from above before they had come: do everything possible to capture Mysterious Ice Fairy alive.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, her life was not to be harmed.

But at this point, he had no choice but to strike ruthlessly.

If she escaped, the matter would explode into something far greater.

With that thought, spiritual power surged through his entire body.

A fiery red ball of spiritual power condensed between his hands.

Wang Daoyuan naturally saw that the old bastard intended to kill.
