Complete Victory

An Exalted Cultivator Honggu, was dug out and exposed to the elements like a rotten peach, still pulsating while emitting bursts of heat. Gu Chengsen, standing to the side, watched in astonishment, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"This guy has actually Core Formation?!"

Gu Chengsen had a good impression of the suddenly appearing Sect Leader Kang Da. After all, during the battle when the Crimson Heart Cult's mountain gate was destroyed, the most eye-catching person besides the plump and beautiful woman holding a palace lantern was this tall and imposing man in front of him.

Gu Chengsen hadn't even solidified his true essence or refined his True Core yet, so how did this lowly brat manage to surpass him?

Kang Dabao's pupil technique was already quite impressive when Foundation Establishment, but it was nowhere near as terrifying as it appears now.

Just now, two Golden Light rushed over, and the Thousand-Scale Escape that Honggu Shangxiu Exalted Cultivator Honggu summoned was overturned in an instant. Even Gu Chengsen, who was right next to him, was unable to help. Exalted Cultivator Honggu was injured, his whole body was charred black by the pupil technique, and a part of his chest cavity visibly collapsed.

Then, the well-prepared Sect Leader Kang Da suddenly used his movement technique to close in and, wielding his halberd, directly ripped out the red heart from the Exalted Cultivator Honggu!

"Senior brother?!" Gu Chengsen called out again, a look of fear appearing on his face.

Having lost his millet essence, Exalted Cultivator Honggu's already pale complexion became even more unsightly, yet he remained much calmer than Gu Chengsen. This is because after achieving the highest level of cultivation, as long as one is not at the end of one's rope, one's flesh and blood can be regenerated without harming one's life.

Otherwise, this Golden Core Exalted Cultivator Honggu might perish at the hands of Sect Leader Kang Da in just a few breaths.

The so-called essential points for ordinary cultivation are actually only two: one is the head, which is the head of the six yang and the place where the spirit gathers, and must not be damaged; the other is the Dantian, which is the nest of the Golden Core elixir and the place related to life and death.

However, as the monarch's official, the millet spirit was not an ordinary vital organ. It was taken away by Kang Dabao. With the eight meridians reversed and the circulation of qi disrupted on the Exalted Cultivator Honggu, the profound power in his body would be reduced by at least 50%. Therefore, the change in the situation was indeed significant.

However, after exchanging a glance, the two newly appointed Supreme Elders of the Three Immortals Cave did not back down. Since they had already accepted Chu Han's orders, if they returned empty-handed, not only would they not receive the promised supplies, but they might also be purged. What choice did they have?!

In a flash of inspiration, the red heart he held in Sect Leader Kang Da hand turned into a pool of thick blood, dripping from between his fingers. Seeing this Exalted Cultivator Honggu did not react in any particular way, but simply chose a finger in his left hand and cut it off at the root, transforming it into a jade-colored spear that thrust straight at him.

The foundation of this Golden Core cultivator over the years should not be underestimated. Kang Dabao felt as if the surrounding Spiritual Qi had been completely washed away by the strong wind brought by the long spear.

However, no spiritual light appeared after he clenched his fingers into a hand seal. Yet, Sect Leader Kang Da showed no panic. Fine runes appeared on the outer plates of his River Network Mystic Armor. The jade-colored spear, as thick as a bowl, seemed to tear a piece of the sky. The sound of wind breaking made Kang Dabao frown, as the heavy runes had indeed diminished most of his imposing presence.

It's just that Kang Dabao acquired this Law Treasure too recently, which is why he was still overwhelmed by the Exalted Cultivator Honggu.

A few breaths later, the once imposing armor-leaf runes gradually disappeared, and the jade-colored spear slammed into the chest of Sect Leader Kang Da. However, before the Exalted Cultivator Honggu could even feel joy, he exclaimed in shock, "How... how could this be?!"

It was clear that the spiritual light of the River Network Mystic Armor was dimmed by the impact of the jade-colored spear, and the force did not seem to have been reduced much. However, Kang Dabao only groaned after being hit by the penetrating armor, coughed up a few drops of blood, and then punched out with both fists, squeezing them hard against the spear shaft.

The long spear, formed from the Exalted Cultivator Honggu, rotted into pieces of flesh, and bone fragments fell down, piercing the bodies of many hesitant followers of the Crimson Heart Cult, leaving them covered in bloody holes.

"Body cultivator? It's been so many years since I've seen a body cultivator advance to the Golden Core." The Exalted Cultivator Honggu suppressed his surprise and exchanged a glance with Gu Chengsen beside him.

The latter practiced the Blood Realm Ashen Annihilation Scripture, the sect's signature Cultivation Method of the Crimson Heart Cult Sect. Even after achieving the Golden Core stage, he did not switch to another technique. However, in recent years, while solidifying his dantian and transforming his dantian essence, he also thoroughly reviewed this Cultivation Method. Compared to before, it was naturally incomparable.

He exhaled sharply, and a dazzling golden aura shot out from his throat, striking directly at the Dharma body of Sect Leader Kang Da.

At this moment, Kang Dabao even had the energy to shake off the foul-smelling blood on his hands. After a long time, when he saw the golden energy emanating from Gu Chengsen again, he no longer felt it was sharp.

But then his golden pupils lit up again, and two Golden Light shot out, aimed at the method used by Gu Chengsen. The two collided, and a sizzling sound immediately came. The latter's face darkened, and then the eight words "Oil applied to the griddle, sound like tearing silk" suddenly appeared in his mind.

No wonder he reacted this way, for Gu Chengsen's skill, honed over three decades of cultivation, vanished into vapor and disappeared in an instant upon encountering Kang Dabao's two Golden Light.

"Without using that thing, I cannot defeat him!" Gu Chengsen suddenly realized that he had already used all his strength just now, so there was no need to test him again. He then retreated back to the side of the Exalted Cultivator Honggu.

Both of them came from Outer Dao sects and had achieved the Golden Core stage, so they must have experienced countless fierce battles. Even without being told, they knew that since they were now facing a formidable opponent, they should avoid their sharpest attacks.

It seems that even though Sect Leader Kang Da has only recently achieved the elixir of immortality and possesses formidable Daoist skills, his foundation is unlikely to be as strong as the two of us. As long as we fight a stalemate, we can eventually drag the battle out until the former's spiritual power is depleted and he reveals a weakness.

The three cultivators fought fiercely in mid-air, each move unleashed. The two Pill Masters from the Three Immortals Cave initially tried to lend a hand, but as soon as they moved closer, they were shocked by the aftershocks.

Although both False Core cultivators, they were far inferior to figures like Yuan Buwen and Yue Lin. If they dared to get involved, it would be only natural that they would lose their lives in an instant. Thus, they had no choice but to fall into the hands of the Crimson Heart Cult members.

Seeing their sect leader suffer a setback despite outnumbering their opponents, the morale of the Crimson Heart Cult members, which had just surged, suddenly faltered. Even the encouragement from several Pill Masters in the formation did not seem to have any effect.

Conversely, the Double Brightness Alliance members within the Thunder Splendor Mountain formation became excited. At this moment, no one in the formation could still see any fear that the formation's mystical light outside the mountain had almost completely shattered.

If Yuan Jin and Jiang Qing hadn't still maintained their composure, the Double Brightness Alliance cultivators, who were already encouraged to fight to the death, might have already plunged into the somewhat scattered formation of the Crimson Heart Cult members.

Yuan Jin raised his halberd, and the spiritual patterns on the surface of the banner above his head lit up again. The drummers and clappers under the banner immediately began to move without being urged.

"Knock knock"

"Whoosh--hum"

The booming drums, like spring thunder, mingled with the heavy horn sounds, their echoes rippling through the air. The cultivators of the Double Brightness Alliance immediately felt their restlessness subside, and their fighting spirit intensified.

Yuan Jin was quite pleased to see this, because training this drum and gong troupe had cost a considerable amount of resources, almost twice the cost of the Azure Jue Guard. However, in today's view, the resources had been well spent.

"No wonder Patriarch Zhang so highly praised drummers and clappers in his notes, even going so far as to organize them into formations; there is indeed a reason for it!"

The blood-stained military flags were raised high again, and the previously chaotic troops, upon hearing the drums and identifying the flags, quickly regained their order and exuded a fierce aura.

At this moment, it wasn't just the two cultivators opposite who knew that Sect Leader Kang Da body was only in its initial stages and his spiritual power was insufficient!

"Second Senior Brother," Jiang Qing said, his face full of worry, glancing repeatedly at the crucial battlefield as he descended from the void. Yuan Jin scrutinized him carefully for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:

"You go ahead and be the vanguard, I'll lead the troops to support you from behind. Be quick, our eldest brother is fighting against overwhelming odds. If we're slow, people outside will laugh at us again, saying we brothers are useless, even at our age, and only a burden to Marquis of Martial Peace!"

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, Jiang Qing's handsome face immediately changed to a resolute expression. After leaving Yuan Jin's side, he returned to the void and called the three Pill Masters, Bian, Xu, and Hu, together.

With just a few simple words, Xu Liuxian responded. But Bian Hu was nearly three hundred years old, and even though he held the title of vice leader of the Double Brightness Alliance, he wasn't so easily encouraged.

Upon hearing this, the Pill Master surnamed Hu showed no outward sign of surprise. However, Jiang Qing, having experienced so much over the years, could discern the alchemist's feigned intentions.

Whether they were going to charge out of the army formation and fight to the death, the outcome of the battle on the Golden Core battlefield above was still unclear, and these two veteran Pill Master had never received Chongming Sect, so it would be strange if they could be swayed by Jiang Qing 'Three Words.

However, the latter was always decisive, and knowing that saying more was useless, he simply stopped elaborating.

As he held his sword across his chest, a wisp of Sword Qi split off and snapped the turban on his head. To onlookers, all they saw was his eyes gleaming with crimson light, his hair disheveled, and his resolute and fearless expression as he charged straight into the somewhat scattered ranks of the Crimson Heart Cult members.

Xu Liuxian followed closely behind. Just as the two of them had reaped a large number of lives in the Crimson Heart Cult's formation with their crimson sword light, False Core Crimson Heart Cult Sect stepped forward to block them.

Regardless of whether they risked their lives or not, they had to make it clear on the surface. Bian Hu and the Tiger-surnamed Pill Master, one wielding a nine-ringed broadsword and the other a Xuanwen Golden Bell, were both top-grade Law Treasure. They were left outside the Crimson Heart Cult's army formation, waiting for a Pill Master to leap out and crash into them.

Yuan Jin would never allow his junior brother to lose his support. He carefully examined the now perfectly aligned ranks of troops, then pushed Han Xundao, who had just become True Cultivator and was serving as a flag officer, back and shouted loudly, "Where is Yuan Changsheng?!"

A loud reply suddenly came from Pine Wind Volunteers the formation, "Reporting to the Elder, your disciple is here!!"

Yuan Jin probed with his Divine Sense and saw that although his eldest son, who was wearing a red coat with mandarin ducks, was trying to appear resolute when he spoke, he was actually covered in wounds.

The latter still had a broken arrow stuck in his instep, which, perhaps due to the urgency of the situation, had not been treated. At this point, the wound was surrounded by bulging granulation tissue and was still oozing blood.

Zhou Yixiu knew Yuan Jin's thoughts without asking. She was about to stagger forward and try to persuade him when the latter stopped her and asked Han Xundao to help her to rest.

"Come here and hold the flag!!!" Yuan Jin felt a pang of pain in his heart, but his tone remained firm.

Seeing that Yuan Changsheng had handed over the banner behind him to You Xiaobao, and then staggered towards the banner on his flying magic Law Artifact, the former didn't look at it much, but instead shouted loudly at the troops in the formation:

"As you all know, my sect leader has won the emperor's favor and has already been granted a title."

Therefore, the future prospects of my sect leader are self-evident and need no further explanation; the reputation of my sect leader is well-documented and needs no further explanation; and the righteousness of my sect leader is universally acknowledged and needs no further explanation.

This time, we did not anticipate that other cultivators would be shameless and disregard their reputation, which caused our alliance to suffer a slight setback. However, although the clowns on the other side are despicable, they were still defeated by our sect leader. Although the Red Heart Traitor is powerful, with people in fear, he is nothing more than a group of weak soldiers waiting to be slaughtered.

At this moment, in this situation, it is far from being a scene of perilous warfare. Jin and my son will stand before the enemy today, bearing the great banner, daring to be the first among you! Jin never speaks empty words.

At this point, Yuan Jin seemed to feel the burning gazes from the Chongming Sect disciples, almost piercing through his armor. But he took out a bottle of clear spiritual liquid and poured it into his eyes before continuing loudly:

"Jin Cai has washed his eyes with the Clear Eyes Treasured Liquid, and will absolutely not overlook the merits of you all. However, any brave individuals who step forward will be selected by Jin Cai before Marquis of Martial Peace. Since these are the requests and demands of courageous and valiant men, how could Jin Cai refuse them?!"

Upon Double Brightness's disciples all responded in unison, "We dare not disobey even unto death!!!"

Most of the disciples from the various Double Brightness Alliance were also caught up in the fervent atmosphere and joined in the chorus of voices. Even the righteous followers of the various factions and the local militia of the two counties had begun to feel a sense of not wanting to be outdone.

This clearly demonstrates that the credibility cultivated by Sect Leader Kang Da over the years is truly effective. If other families wanted to Double Brightness Second Yuan's actions, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream to boost morale with just a few words, and it would be an impossible task.

Yuan Jin was satisfied only after taking in the scene before him. At this moment, Yuan Changsheng had already stepped down from under the banner, his feet covered in blood.

There is a physician near the Great Banner, Shan Yong, who is a disciple of Niu Kuang and is now True Disciple of the Chongming Sect. Shan Yong is far superior to Yuan Changsheng in terms of talent and comprehension. Although he is much younger, his cultivation level is already much higher than the latter and he can prepare for Foundation Establishment.

But Shan Yong saw Yuan Changsheng's appearance, he also looked on with admiration. However, just as he was about to step forward to help the latter bandage his wounds, he saw Yuan Changsheng frown and stop Shan Yong's movements, saying loudly:

"That traitor is as weak as a naked woman, vulnerable to being taken advantage of. My comrades in the alliance can break him in a day or two. It's just a minor injury, junior brother, why are you in such a hurry?! After I break through the formation with my banner, the Red Heart Sect will have plenty of high-grade healing medicine from their Golden Core Crimson Heart Cult Bag to take care of you!!"

As soon as Yuan Changsheng uttered these words, the assembled cultivators were immediately struck by his heroic spirit and their spirits lifted.

Zhou Yixiu was both anxious and delighted. How could he not know that Yuan Changsheng's words were enough to warrant another "Strengthen Heart" restriction from the Great Banner? But seeing that the wound was being wantonly eroded by the broken arrow and its remnant spirit, and that it would endanger his life if not treated, how could he not be anxious?!

Yuan Jin's eyes also showed pain, but he was also very gratified that his eldest son understood his intentions. He saw Yuan Changsheng suddenly exert force, raise the flag, and slowly move to Yuan Jin's side. The latter ignored the bloodstains on the ground, and after looking around for a moment, he loudly proclaimed:

"Gentlemen, follow my father and me, and advance with our great banner to defeat the enemy! As long as we live, our banner will live; as long as we die, our banner will live! Immense wealth and glory are before us; take it with your own abilities!!!"

"War! War! War!"

"War! War! War!"

The cultivators in the alliance were all encouraged and their spirits soared to the heavens. Taking advantage of the enthusiastic atmosphere, Shan Yong, after receiving instructions from Zhou Yixiu, hurriedly applied some simple medicine to Yuan Changsheng's wounds.

The pain in his feet instantly lessened by more than half, and Yuan Changsheng almost succumbed to the refreshing comfort. However, he couldn't enjoy it for long before gritting his teeth and carrying the flag at the front.

Each bright red bloodstain was perfectly straight, clearing a path for those to follow. Even with a thousand cultivators coming to meet him, Yuan Changsheng showed no fear. The Azure Jue Guard and Crimson Zhang Guard, as always, acted as the spearhead of the attack, charging forward first.

Despite being a mere late-stage cultivator, Yuan Changsheng's Law Artifact were all tattered and his life-saving spiritual items had long been used up in the battle. Yet, he stood fearlessly within ten feet of the Azure Jue Guard, holding his banner high.

Thanks to this, Yuan Changsheng also witnessed hundreds of Law Artifacts and thousands of Daoist techniques colliding wildly, with limbs and bones flying everywhere, and screams of agony flying everywhere. Fresh lives were often extinguished in just a few breaths amidst the insults and shouts of both sides. Apart from his close relatives, no one else seemed to care.

Yuan Jin felt as if he could taste minced meat in the air with every breath, yet he remained perfectly calm, showing no change in expression.

The Azure Jue and Crimson Zhang guards are well-trained, while the Crimson Heart Cult followers are generally much more skilled. If the two sides were to fight fair and square, they might be evenly matched.

However, at this time, all the cultivators under the Double Brightness Alliance were already sharpening their knives, which made it difficult for the Crimson Heart Cult Sect to cope and showed signs of decline.

Just then, another scream came from behind Jiang Qing.

The Pill Master intended only to feign compliance with False Core Crimson Heart Cult from the Confucian Heart Sect, but unexpectedly, the latter was enraged by the battle and fought desperately.

The Tiger-surnamed Pill Master was caught off guard and easily found a weakness by the opposing Pill Master. He took a solid blow to the back, shattering his entire spine and nearly causing him to fall to the ground.

While using his spiritual energy to heal his spine, the Tiger-surname Pill Master rushed to Bian Hu's side to seek help, which caused the latter to panic and subsequently suffer a severe sword strike from his opponent.

The wound spread from his chest to his waist, instantly revealing a horrific gash on Bian Hu's body. Half of his internal organs were scattered on the ground, while the other half had been cleaved into dust by the sword light. This injury was far more severe than that of the Tiger-surname Pill Master. With such a severe loss of vital energy, how could Bian Hu possibly provide any assistance?!

At this critical moment, if they did not retreat, how could they possibly survive? Bian and Hu were decisive, each retreating despite their injuries.

The two powerful Pill Master on the opposite side did not stop to rest and rushed to the front line. The favorable situation, which had been bought with the lives of many guards Azure Jue and Crimson Zhang, was becoming unstable and showed signs of collapse.

Yuan Jin keenly noticed this and led Yuan Changsheng, holding the great banner, to press forward.

The two opposite were no ordinary Pill Master. One of them wielded a staff, and when he swung it, not only did it generate Sha Qi aura, but it was also as heavy Like a Mountain. Even True Cultivator had escaped the formation would hardly survive being hit by it.

Even if one person's swordsmanship is far inferior to Jiang Qing's, among all the sword cultivators Yuan Changsheng has ever seen, even if those top cultivators are included, his skill level would still rank among the top five. No wonder Bian Hu, who is also considered an outstanding Pill Master, was still defeated by him in a cup of tea by finding a weakness.

The moment these two Pill Master landed, even without them making a move, the Crimson Heart Cult of the Red Heart Sect were greatly excited. The moment they moved, waves of blood surged up within the formation, making Yuan Jin's eyes turn bloodshot and his eyes almost turn to bloodlust.

Despite these circumstances, the Yuan Household father and son did not back down and still charged into battle with their flags raised!

The Double Brightness Alliance members, gathered under the banner, underwent numerous buffs and restrictions, including "Forge Courage," "Strengthen Heart," "Protect Body," "Restore Spirit," and "Break Edge," and gradually calmed down under the immense pressure.

Human strength has its limits, and those two Pill Masters were ultimately not Golden Core cultivators. Although they had just defeated two others of the same level with ease, they had actually expended a great deal of energy. Of their ten percent of their abilities, only thirty percent remained; they were already in a state of outward strength but inward weakness.

The afterimages of staffs and swords falling became increasingly rare, but the number of lives lost beneath them also dwindled. After initially overwhelming the enemy with sheer force, Yuan Jin, who was in charge of the army, changed his tactics.

The Azure Jue and Crimson Zhang guards, who had suffered considerable losses, went to rest. Nearly twenty True Cultivator were selected from among the alliance's disciples to deal with the two False Core. The remaining Crimson Heart Cult members continued to fight back in military formation.

If the two Pill Masters were at their peak, they would not have taken ten True Cultivator seriously. However, the current situation is quite difficult. After the Pill Master with the staff smashed the heads of two True Cultivators, Duan Anle, who is usually calm, found a flaw in his defense.

Even a mere peck at the throat, a vital spot, by the sharp beak of Second-Tier Lower-Grade Gray Spirit Falcon was enough to send shivers down the spine of the staff-wielding Pill Master. He clutched his throat and casually smashed the spirit bird into a bloody pulp, causing Duan Anle to vomit blood and nearly faint.

If Kang Rongquan hadn't promptly scattered over a dozen types of Second Tier thorn seeds, instantly forming a vine wall to block them, the second disciple of the Sect Leader Kang Da might have lost his life.

Seeing that the Pill Master with the staff was already seriously injured, the remaining cultivators, though still filled with fear, began to look more eager.

"This is a False Core that's already severely damaged!!"

The Pill Master with the staff was a figure of some importance, but he had not yet realized that he had become a living military merit. Fewer and fewer True Cultivator were gathering around him, but they were becoming more and more reckless. Even the Qi Refinement cultivators next door dared to break away from the formation and risk using their methods to shoot at him.

After another cup of tea's time, the Pill Master holding the staff felt an unbearable burning sensation in his chest, as if even breathing was scorching.

"I can't stay any longer, I have to leave!"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, he saw Yuan Jin, who was poised to attack, blocking his path. After a burst of spiritual light from his hand, a golden bell as tall as a person crashed into him, blocking his retreat.

"A talisman?!"

Although the talisman had been attacked several times, it only lasted for a few breaths before dissipating.

However, the remaining spiritual power of the staff-wielding Pill Master was also largely consumed by him. When he was forced to retreat to his original position, he and several Foundation Establishment, including Kang Rongquan, surrounded him again.

The methods Spirit Artifact artifacts that he once considered childish and laughable have now become death warrants. Before his death, the Pill Master was almost unconscious, only vaguely remembering that his head was smashed by a first or second-grade top-quality Mixed Gold Staff.

As the yellow and white spray flew, the sword- Pill Master, who was also being attacked, made a decision. He disregarded his own strength and desperately unleashed a dazzling sword light, wiping out the lives of those around him and fleeing for his life.

Yuan Jin showed no sign of pride, but simply threw the newly acquired False Core Storage Bag at the feet of the group of True Cultivator, and then urged Yuan Changsheng to take the lead with the flag.

Both father and son were covered in wounds, yet they still led their heavy army formations forward, pressing towards the Crimson Heart Cult members.

One side fought with all its might, while the other lost all courage. The outcome was self-evident. Yuan Jin and his son led their troops to rout the Crimson Heart Cult's army. The scattered Crimson Heart Cult members immediately filled the foot of the mountain. The battle cries of the Double Brightness Alliance were deafening, which even terrified the two Pill Masters who were fighting Jiang Qing and Xu Liuxian.

Unlike the two False Core from the Three Immortals Cave who had just lost their lives, even though they were terrified, they could not abandon their ancestors behind them and their disciples at their feet. So they could only watch helplessly as the Double Brightness Alliance pressed forward with the banner, and the six-petaled blue lotus Dao seal on the banner became clearer and clearer.

Although Jiang Qing studied the sword manual given to him by his Martial Uncle Lian in a short time, he had already grasped some of its true meaning. Although he relied on the power of External Core, his methods were three points more Xu Liuxian than those of Xu Liuxian, Pill Master for many years.

With the all-out effort of the inspired cultivators in the alliance, even Yuan Changsheng, who was holding the flag at the front, could not withstand the aftershocks of the battle between the False Core cultivators and was knocked unconscious.

Jiang Qing, somewhat pleased with himself, preempted Xu Liuxian and used his sword to take the lives of two Pill Masters. With that, the remaining army of several thousand men only had one target to face.

However, when Jiang Qing probed the area with his Divine Sense, he saw that the Golden Core battlefield had changed.

By this point in the Exalted Cultivator Honggu had exhausted all ten fingers. His Daoist arts were not yet fully mastered, and he could not use his toes. Therefore, he had no choice but to hide behind Gu Chengsen and use his Divine Sense to control Law Treasure magic weapon to defend against the enemy.

The latter knew this but was helpless. Since the battle of Fa Prefecture, Exalted Cultivator Honggu's injuries had not fully healed, and now he had suffered repeated blows. It was already a great effort that he had managed to hold on until now.

Even if we win this time, the vital energy Hehuan Sect will be more than enough for the powerful and influential Spring Wind Envoy of the Joyful Union Sect to fully replenish.

Gu Chengsen hadn't even completed the transformation of his core essence, so how could he possibly be a match for Sect Leader Kang Da?! The former's usual Crimson Copper Lock couldn't even break the River Luo Mystic Armor, let alone Kang Dabao's Primordial Ancient Body, which was already nearing perfection thanks to the power of the Moon Marrow Golden Paste Pool.

If it weren't for the fact that Exalted Cultivator Honggu was still struggling to cope, Gu Chengsen would have been in imminent danger. Two more Golden Light narrowly grazed his head, burning his black hair to ashes, leaving him terrified.

"How come this guy hasn't used up all his spiritual energy yet?!"

Kang Dabao pressed on relentlessly, showing no sign of stopping. His cultivation of the "Profound Clear Withering and Flourishing Secret Manual" was progressing smoothly, and his mastery of the "Long Breath Art" was even more refined. Before him stood a heavily injured Golden Core and a newly advanced Upper Cultivator; it would be strange if he could wear them down to death!

Gu Chengsen steeled his resolve and unleashed his most trump card without holding back!

"Senior brother, make your move!!"

No sooner had the shout been uttered than a broken arrow, imbued with demonic energy, hurtled through the wind.

Sect Leader Kang Da's gaze sharpened, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But then, bloodshot eyes burst forth from the broken arrowhead, accompanied by a shrill whistle. A massive ancient demonic remnant suddenly emerged in Kang Dabao platform, its ferocious purple face filled with savagery. It roared wildly, attempting to overwhelm Sect Leader Kang Da's Divine Sense.

However, the ancient demon's lingering will did not expect that a full moon would suddenly rise beside it, its cold light and domineering power suppressing it mercilessly.

"Roar!"

The final, mournful howl of the demonic spirit within his mind caused Kang Dabao to momentarily lose his senses. Upon regaining his senses, a chill ran through his body once more.

It turned out that Gu Chengsen's golden qi and Exalted Cultivator Honggu's Law Treasure were both close to Sect Leader Kang Da's face. If he had woken up even a moment later, the gourd at his waist might have made its move again.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Gu Chengsen was shocked and didn't even care that his golden energy was once again annihilated by the Golden Light. He turned around and left. Exalted Cultivator Honggu was originally much more alert than the former, but the use of magic Law Treasure made him mentally and physically exhausted, so he still fell behind.

"Hiss"

The sharp halberd easily severed the head of a man who had been cultivating for years, but this time he had no chance to regenerate. Gu Chengsen, who had retreated, also failed to make his way. Jiang Qing rushed forward desperately, followed closely by a formation of thousands of soldiers, and finally managed to stop him.

One after another, the Double Brightness Alliance cultivators charged forward, blocking Gu Chengsen's path to survival with their lives. His hands were covered in blood, but his heart was filled with despair. Knowing that begging for mercy was a joke, he steeled himself and cried out in a miserable voice:

"Kang Dabao!! You despicable scoundrel who preys on women, you've betrayed your comrades and willingly become a lackey of the Kuang Household! Like a cunning rabbit that dies, a hunting dog is cooked; you Chongming Sect, will not escape the same fate one day!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two Golden Light extinguished Gu Chengsen's life force. The last remaining cultivator of the Crimson Heart Cult perished, and no one lamented his loss.

The lives lost on this mountain are no different.
