Wait for Me, I'm Going to Kill a Golden Core Cultivator

Although Yi Xuan's Divine Sense, strengthened by the Spirit Refining Instruction, was already fully comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it still fell far short of Shi Zhenghao's. Shi Zhenghao was at perfected Grain Avoidance and could advance to the Golden Core Realm at any moment.

Thus, of the three people in the courtyard, only Shi Zhenghao knew exactly how powerful the Barrett was.

Yi Xuan asked curiously, "So its power is decent?"

Shi Zhenghao nodded. "It's not a question of whether its power is decent. I have a feeling that if everyone had one of these, life might get hard for Golden Core True Persons from now on!"

Hearing that, Yi Xuan nodded. It seemed the cultivation-world version of the Barrett he had improved was indeed powerful!

"Could you sense what happened to the bullet I fired?"

Shi Zhenghao nodded. "I could, but I suggest you see for yourself!"

Without waiting for Yi Xuan's response, he grabbed him by the collar and flew through the air in that direction.

Yi Xuan had never felt so miserable. He was being carried through the air by his collar, without any protection at all.

Yi Xuan felt that even the bungee jumping he had done in his previous life paled in comparison.

He was just about to open his mouth when a blast of cold wind rushed in. With no other choice, Yi Xuan kept his mouth tightly shut while circulating his True Qi to form a shield around his body, blocking the wind resistance caused by their high-speed flight.

The feeling of little knives stabbing his face was truly terrifying. Yi Xuan never wanted to experience it again.

He really couldn't understand why cultivators were so obsessed with flying through the air, yet didn't protect their bodies at all.

Shi Zhenghao was fast. In less than two minutes, they reached the mountain that had just served as their target.

Yi Xuan silently did the math and was surprised to find that his senior brother's flying speed was already close to the speed of sound. It showed just how outrageous a cultivator's strength could be.

After catching his breath, Yi Xuan looked at Shi Zhenghao and said irritably, "That was the last time. Wherever I'm going in the future, I've got my own legs. I don't need you to carry me!"

Shi Zhenghao gave Yi Xuan a contemptuous look. "You? I think you'd better forget it. Don't you know how fast you are? If I'd let you walk here, who knows how much time we'd have wasted!"

Although Yi Xuan knew Shi Zhenghao was right, he still shook his head. "I'm not letting you carry me flying again anyway. If my little life flies away along the way, it won't be worth it!"

Hearing Yi Xuan's words, Shi Zhenghao understood that Yi Xuan was complaining about how he'd cared only about speed, without considering Yi Xuan's strength.

Shi Zhenghao looked at Yi Xuan sheepishly. "I was in a hurry, wasn't I? I forgot! I'll be careful next time, all right?"

Yi Xuan shot him a sidelong glance and said nothing, but he had already resolved never to let another cultivator carry him through the air in this lifetime.

"All right, hurry up and take a look at how powerful your weapon is!"

Hearing Shi Zhenghao's words, Yi Xuan looked up and saw the bullet hole in the mountainside, the very one the Barrett had made earlier.

Yi Xuan examined it with his Divine Sense and was quite satisfied with the Barrett's power.

Looking at the mountain from the outside, one really couldn't sense the damage the Barrett had caused. But anyone who probed inside with Divine Sense, as Yi Xuan did, would discover a whole other world within.

First, the Barrett's bullet had actually traveled nearly five more meters through the mountain before stopping.

Second, the bullet had exploded after stopping. Yi Xuan's Divine Sense could clearly perceive a space two meters in diameter inside the mountain before him, created by the bullet's explosion.

This was another of Yi Xuan's improvements to the 12.7 mm bullet, allowing it to inflict extremely severe secondary damage on its target.

Next, Yi Xuan continued using his Divine Sense to examine the blast, the bullet's trajectory, and so on in detail, so he could pass the data on to No. 01 when he returned. Perhaps it would prove useful for other work later.

Shi Zhenghao, who had been watching Yi Xuan busy himself, was now holding the Barrett and inspecting it over and over. Although he didn't know how Yi Xuan had made it so powerful, he knew that with this thing, the Evil Cultivator waiting for him to show his face outside Azure Cloud Sect territory was in for a bad time.

"All right! Let's go back!" Yi Xuan had finally gathered all the data. He patted the nonexistent dust off his clothes and spoke to Shi Zhenghao.

But Shi Zhenghao only stared at the Barrett in his hands, paying Yi Xuan no attention at all.

Yi Xuan waved a hand in front of Shi Zhenghao's eyes. "Hey! What are you doing? We're heading back!"

"Oh, back! Right, back!" Shi Zhenghao spoke as he followed right behind Yi Xuan.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

Yi Xuan looked curiously at his senior brother's motionless figure. "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

A sharp light flashed in Shi Zhenghao's eyes as he stood there. "I'm not going back. Now that I have this great killing weapon, I don't want to wait another day. I'm going out right now to kill that old bastard who seriously injured me!"

Yi Xuan remembered that only a few days ago, someone had been planning to stay at his home until he reached the Golden Core Realm before going out. He hadn't expected that, with the Barrett to give him confidence, Shi Zhenghao wouldn't even wait to advance to Golden Core and wanted to go straight after his enemy for revenge.

Still, Yi Xuan understood his senior brother!

His senior brother had been the best of the crowd since childhood. Of those who had entered the sect at the same time, not one had matched his strength over the years.

Now a Golden Core Realm True Person had used his superior strength to bully him. How could he bear it? Before this, Shi Zhenghao had only been forced to bow his head because he had no way to deal with that man.

Now that he had a way, he immediately intended to strike, unwilling to waste even a quarter of an hour.

With no other choice, Yi Xuan patiently explained how to operate the Barrett and what precautions to take. Then he handed Shi Zhenghao the only ten Spirit Stone bullets for the Barrett left in his Storage Bag!

"Oh, right, senior brother!" Seeing that Shi Zhenghao was about to leave, Yi Xuan called him back just in time. "There's no problem with the Barrett's power, but you'll only have one chance to strike. If you miss, remember to pull back immediately! Otherwise, once that Golden Core cultivator reacts, you'll be in trouble!"

Shi Zhenghao raised the Barrett in his hands toward Yi Xuan a couple of times and said, "Don't worry. Your senior brother has spent more than ten years in the cultivation world, after all. Do I need you to teach me this? Just go back to your little courtyard and wait for me. I'm going to kill a Golden Core cultivator! Remember to save me dinner!"

Yi Xuan wanted to say more, but Shi Zhenghao had already taken to the air, flying toward the outside of the Azure Cloud Sect at tremendous speed.

Although Yi Xuan had confidence in his weapon, he was still a little worried that his senior brother might encounter danger.

Unfortunately, a battle of that level was simply not something Yi Xuan could take part in!
