Slaying a Tenth-Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator
Faced with Liu Qingwu's subtle probing, Chen Changming remained calm and offered the reason he had prepared beforehand.
"Senior, I am rather slow-witted on the path of cultivation, so I also practice a Body Refining Cultivation Method for protection. Therefore, I need to eat some flesh and blood every day to nourish my body..."
"I see."
Liu Qingwu smiled.
These days, Daoist cultivation is the mainstream, but some people who are less talented in Daoist cultivation will also practice body tempering in order to enhance their strength.
Chen Changming skinned the Grey Rock Bear, cut off several pieces of meat, skewered them with branches, and roasted them over the campfire.
He could have eaten it raw, but he was afraid of arousing Liu Qingwu's suspicions, so just like in the dilapidated temple, he continued to cook it before eating.
The Grey Rock Bear was quite large, enough to feed them for several days, so Chen Changming put away the rest.
Not long after, the aroma of meat wafted over.
"Give me one too."
Liu Qingwu's mouth watered, and her face flushed red.
She rarely eats meat, but perhaps because she was too weak, she had an instinctive physiological reaction after smelling the aroma of meat.
"Senior, here you go."
After a moment, Chen Changming handed Liu Qingwu a piece of bear meat that was roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Liu Qingwu chewed slowly, finding the taste delicious and the aroma filling her mouth.
Chen Changming also picked up a piece of meat and began to eat it with relish. After only a few bites, he heard a man's sinister laughter coming from outside the cave.
"Liu Qingwu, you're having a secret rendezvous with some scoundrel here? You're a disgrace to the Liu Family. It seems Second Miss Liu was right to send me; you have indeed dishonored the Liu Family's reputation..."
Liu Qingwu suddenly stood up.
"If you're determined to find fault, you'll always find a pretext. Wasn't it enough that Liu Ruyan poisoned me? Now she's even sent you to kill me?"
She said coldly.
Chen Changming's face stiffened. He scanned the area with his Divine Sense and immediately saw a man in black standing ten feet away from the cave, his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed, and a chilling killing intent emanating from them.
This person was actually a Foundation Establishment Stage 10 expert.
In terms of cultivation, he was only slightly weaker than Liu Qingwu.
I'll go meet him.
Liu Qingwu glanced apologetically at Chen Changming, sighed, and walked out of the cave.
It seems her younger sister is determined to drive her to her wits' end.
We can't wait even a moment longer.
"Senior..."
Chen Changming hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Be extra careful."
Liu Qingwu's delicate body stiffened, she paused for a moment, and then walked out of the cave.
"Liu Hong, you really are a maternal uncle! You dared to lay a hand on my Liu Family for Liu Ruyan's sake! If my father finds out about this, he will wipe out your entire Liu family!"
Liu Qingwu's eyes blazed with fury.
Liu Hong smiled faintly, and a Golden Bead flew out from between his eyebrows, releasing a powerful aura. At the same time, he activated a talisman, and his whole body was enveloped in a layer of gold.
He stared at Liu Qingwu and mocked, "You've been poisoned by the Yin-Yang Soul-Severing Powder, and your strength is no match for mine now. You might as well kill yourself; that way, you can preserve your dignity as the eldest daughter of the Liu Family."
"Dream on! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
A Flying Sword shot out from between Liu Qingwu's eyebrows.
Boom!
A Golden Bead flew out and struck the Flying Sword, knocking Flying Sword back.
With a wave of her hand, Liu Qingwu conjured a Silver Cauldron, from Silver Cauldron a roaring sound of water surged forth, creating a wave of waves.
At the same time, the Flying Sword attacked again.
The Golden Bead was also very agile, constantly entangled with the Flying Sword in mid-air, emitting a series of booming sounds.
Seeing the astonishing power of the Silver Cauldron, Liu Hong's expression changed slightly, and she sneered, "I didn't expect that Old Master Liu would also give you this top-tier water-type magic Law Artifact!"
As he spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a beam of black light shot out, transforming into the head of a giant black demon. The demon opened its mouth wide, and a layer of green flames flew out, colliding with the water.
Chen Changming silently walked to the cave entrance and observed the battle between the two Foundation Establishment Level 10 experts.
Liu Qingwu is a sword cultivator who follows water-based Cultivation Method, so the Silver Cauldron is very powerful in her hands. However, she is suffering from poison injuries and is now at her limit, no match for this man in black.
Through their conversation, Chen Changming realized that the one who truly wanted to frame Liu Qingwu was actually her younger sister.
Chen Changming could vaguely guess that the two were half-brothers who were rivals, given the nature of their fratricide.
Boom!
The battle between the two powerful figures grew increasingly intense, with Flying Sword and Law Treasure clashing repeatedly, interspersed with offensive talismans. Various colored lights surged from the battleground, blasting the surrounding mountains into pieces.
"This Second Miss Liu's uncle is also a member of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so he must be quite wealthy..."
Chen Changming's eyes flickered.
If Liu Hong possesses the Heavenly Spirit Pill, it could greatly aid his future cultivation.
At this moment, Chen Changming decided to seize the resources, which could also be considered as helping Liu Qingwu.
He began to wait for an opportunity.
After a while, Liu Qingwu was exhausted, both physically and Law Power. After her Life-Bound Flying Sword was knocked away, she was hit by the Golden Bead. Even with the protective golden light around her, she was still knocked away.
Liu Qingwu was physically weak and immediately fainted.
"Overestimating oneself."
Liu Hong sneered, grabbed the Silver Cauldron with a wave of her hand, and said coldly, "This is a good thing; it's mine now."
"Yeah?"
A questioning voice came from inside the cave.
Liu Hong was taken aback. When did a mere Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivator dare to be so presumptuous?
With his cultivation level, who below the Golden Core has he ever feared?
In the state of the Zhao Kingdom, there wasn't even a single Golden Core cultivator.
A ball of black light flew out of the cave.
At this moment, Chen Changming unleashed his trump card, summoning the Demon Spirit Vine.
"What's this?"
Liu Hong was taken aback. When she realized it was a clump of black vines, she urged the giant Ghost Head to rush away.
Before the Ghost Head could even breathe fire, the black vines suddenly grew enormous, and the black vines shot out like black dragons. With a loud bang, one of the black vines whipped the Ghost Head away.
Liu Hong was horrified.
At this moment, he finally sensed the cultivation aura of the black vine; it was actually a level 5, early-stage Demon Beast!
This is equivalent to the Golden Core realm for human cultivators!
The black vine was too fast; it struck Liu Hong like lightning, snapping his body in an instant.
A wisp of Divine Sense flew out.
But it was mercilessly shattered by a thick beam of light.
Thus, Second Miss Liu's maternal uncle perished within Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Chen Changming raised the Beast Taming Bracelet and quickly put away the Demon Spirit Vine.
He looked to the side and found that the Ghost Head, no longer possessing Law Power power, had turned into a Black Skull.
Chen Changming rushed over, collected all the Black Skull and Golden Bead, then picked up Liu Qingwu, put away her Flying Sword and Law Artifact, and decisively left the place.
It's not safe here.
After all, a battle had taken place, and there would likely be busybodies who would come looking for it.
After running wildly for hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, Chen Changming found a cave and crawled inside.
Liu Qingwu was very cold, so he quickly lit a campfire to warm her up. Then, from his spoils, he found a good Healing Pill and put it into her mouth.
After doing all this, he sat down by the campfire and took out Liu Hong's Storage Ring.
"I wonder if there are any Heavenly Spirit Pill in here..."
Chen Changming took a deep breath with anticipation and secretly used the Lesser Soul-Erasing Art to wash away the spiritual imprint on it again and again.
