The Dragon Slayer Group had two Late Stage of Golden Core cultivators and five Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivators. Following their pre-arranged strategy, the ten of them first separated Zhou Zhuan and Wu Yuchun, then five of them attacked.
Zhou Zhuan was not worried at all and allowed everyone to separate Wu Yuchun from him. When the five surrounded him, he drew his sword to meet them.
Yang Buyao led four people to surround Zhou Zhuan, while another Late Stage of Golden Core cultivator, Wen Sheng, took Xu Feng and three others to deal with Wu Yuchun.
Wu Yuchun was at a slight disadvantage after receiving two strikes from Wen Sheng. With the other four joining in, he quickly found himself in a chaotic situation despite originally being a Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator.
Xu Feng stayed on the outskirts, launching sword energy attacks. Seeing that Wu Yuchun was quickly overwhelmed, he knew it wouldn't be that simple and remained alert, ready to dodge at any moment.
"A bunch of clowns dare to target me; they truly don't know how to live," Wu Yuchun's voice rang out. Suddenly, a Giant Bell appeared out of thin air, towering over two people. Wu Yuchun moved his fingers, and the Giant Bell flew around him rapidly. One Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator failed to dodge in time and was sent flying, spitting blood.
"Magic treasure!" Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still taken aback by the appearance of this bell-shaped artifact.
On the other side of the battlefield, Yang Buyao also noticed the emergence of the magic treasure and wanted to come over for support but found it difficult to break free. Zhou Zhuan, with his Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation, was holding his own against five opponents without losing ground. If Yang Buyao tried to leave, it would inevitably lead to their group's defeat.
Wu Yuchun commanded the magic treasure to charge forward recklessly. Wen Sheng and his group could not get close and could only attack from a distance with sword energy. However, the Giant Bell seemed to have a mind of its own, blocking all their attacks.
Suddenly, the Giant Bell doubled in size. With a swift motion, it covered one cultivator inside its bell.
"Boom!" A thunderous sound erupted as the Giant Bell flew up again. The Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator trapped inside was bleeding from all seven orifices and collapsed on the ground, devoid of life. Another previously injured cultivator also coughed up blood from the impact and lost all fighting capability.
In an instant, only Wen Sheng with Xu Feng and another Early Stage of Golden Core cultivator remained on Wu Yuchun's side.
Wen Sheng was not intimidated by Wu Yuchun's Giant Bell; instead, he coldly smiled as if he had found a flaw in it. Suddenly, Wen Sheng's figure changed dramatically as his speed doubled. All that could be seen on the ground was an afterimage as he darted in front of Wu Yuchun and struck down with his sword.
Wu Yuchun was only a Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator after all; after activating the magic treasure, his spiritual power had diminished. Faced with Wen Sheng's full-force attack, he could not evade in time. The Giant Bell could not come to his rescue quickly enough; he could only draw his sword to meet the blow head-on.
"Bang," Wen Sheng fell to the ground from a distance, a large hole in his chest. He raised his hand to point but ultimately couldn't say a word; his hand dropped, and he died on the spot.
Following Wen Sheng's finger, Zhou Zhuan stood coldly not far away, a golden snake-shaped artifact hovering above his head. The Golden Snake was made of an unknown material, flexible yet sturdy, and incredibly fast. Wen Sheng was caught off guard and struck in one hit, dying instantly.
Yang Buyao was also stunned by Zhou Zhuan's sudden attack, and the others were all frozen in place.
One Giant Bell artifact had already sent everyone into a frenzy to escape; now with another even more powerful artifact, there was no way for them to survive.
The disciples of the Five Elements Sect guarding the Shadow Capture Formation had long since fled. The coward had been scared into a hasty retreat as soon as Zhou Zhuan arrived; cowards tend to live longer, and he was fortunate enough to save his life.
This was an unequal war, like hot weapons against cold weapons.
The Six Major Sects had underestimated the lethality of the artifacts and their quantity. They thought that with just two people from the Nine Dragon Pool, there would be at most one artifact, but unexpectedly there were two.
With Wen Sheng dead, the Dragon Slayer Group's strength was halved. Coupled with Zhou Zhuan unleashing his artifact, the outcome of the battle was already clear.
"Get out of here!" A Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator suddenly charged at Zhou Zhuan, eyes resolute. The Golden Snake above Zhou Zhuan flew out again and pierced through the chest of that cultivator in one strike. However, the cultivator seemed oblivious and continued to rush toward Zhou Zhuan.
Zhou Zhuan's expression tightened as he hurriedly activated his artifact to defend himself while quickly retreating.
"Boom," flesh exploded, and powerful spiritual energy scattered outward. The Golden Snake in the sky let out a mournful cry as it wobbled back into Zhou Zhuan's body. Zhou Zhuan retreated swiftly and had an artifact to shield him, so he remained unharmed.
The Golden Core Cultivator realized he could not win and chose to self-destruct his golden core to buy time for the other cultivators to escape. If a Golden Core Cultivator self-destructs, the power is equivalent to twice their natural strength; within ten feet, opponents of the same level would either die or be severely injured.
However, everyone failed to seize that opportunity bought with a life; perhaps it wasn't an opportunity at all.
Yang Buyao's eyes turned red, and the other cultivators seemed to be infected by the self-detonation scene, faintly showing a desperate intent.
Zhou Zhuan released his treasure again; the Golden Serpent Treasure seemed to possess spiritual energy. After being hit, it was no longer as arrogant, with its heart flying in the sky, waiting for Zhou Zhuan to issue commands.
"Hmph!" Wu Yuchun directed the Giant Bell to move closer to Zhou Zhuan without hesitation, and the giant bronze bell flew over. Xu Feng and another Early Stage of Golden Core cultivator joined Yang Buyao's team, forming a six against two situation.
The Giant Bell was not as fast as the Golden Serpent Treasure. In a rush through the crowd, it failed to injure anyone. Yang Buyao had just seen Wen Sheng's actions and knew that with his strength, breaking this golden bell would not be difficult. However, Zhou Zhuan clearly understood Wu Yuchun's weaknesses and was always on guard against Yang Buyao's sneak attack on Wu Yuchun.
Other Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivators, even if they rushed in front of Wu Yuchun, lacked the ability to deliver a fatal blow.
The Golden Snake emerged from its hole again, coordinating with the Giant Bell—one was agile and mobile while the other was powerful and heavy. The cultivators found themselves in perilous situations; within five minutes, two more cultivators fell to the ground.
"Retreat!" Yang Buyao realized that continuing like this would inevitably lead to total annihilation. Years ago, Mu Yingshan had used a set of Five Element Needle Technique against the six great sect leaders during the Great War. Although Zhou Zhuan might not be as formidable now, Yang Buyao and the others could not compare to the leaders of the Six Sects. They couldn't let everyone self-detonate their Golden Cores in desperation.
Once morale faltered, defeat would come swiftly. The remaining four cultivators scrambled to escape, dispersing in four different directions to avoid pursuit.
Wang Zhen had been specially "taken care of" beforehand and was already injured. As the four scattered, his speed slowed slightly, and he was ensnared by Zhou Zhuan's Golden Snake. The Giant Bell soon arrived; with a clang, it enveloped Wang Zhen inside, sealing his fate.
Xu Feng relied on his extraordinary physique to survive between the two treasures but was undoubtedly the slowest in fleeing. In his panic, Wings of the Strange Dragon burst forth from his body, soaring ten zhang high before speeding away.
Wu Yuchun retracted the giant bell; Wang Zhen had already fainted on the ground.
Zhou Zhuan did not pursue but merely watched Xu Feng's direction and said, "I didn't expect that an Early Stage of Golden Core cultivator could remain unscathed under my Golden Serpent Treasure's attack; it's truly a miracle."
Wu Yuchun added, "My Zhenzhong also grazed him. With his cultivation level, if he were touched even slightly, he should either die or be severely injured. I can't believe this kid seems completely fine."
Zhou Zhuan pointed in Xu Feng's direction and said, "You should go kill him. He can't match your speed right now. Those wings are quite good; take them back to Mu Jinshi for reforging. They can be made into a decent flying magical artifact."
"I don't have any money; I can't hire Mu Jinshi. That old guy only cares about money," Wu Yuchun complained.
Zhou Zhuan seemed to speak with deep knowledge, "You don't understand this. Those old monsters, besides money, are also very interested in unique items. Those wings are a bit special; he will take them. Even if he doesn't return them to you afterward, at least he will offer a high price to buy them outright."
"Buyout? Sounds good; many authors want a buyout."
"…"
Xu Feng did not fly toward the New Moon Sect but instead headed toward the desolate wilderness. From a distance, seeing Wu Yuchun release his Flying Sword and chase after him, Xu Feng smirked slyly, "I don't believe you won't follow me. You fell for it."
Xu Feng did not use his Flying Sword to escape; he wanted to create the illusion of slow flight. If someone were to pursue him, Xu Feng would be the prime target. However, what Xu Feng did not know was that Wu Yuchun was not after his life but rather his Wings of the Strange Dragon.
Wu Yuchun only had Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivation. In a one-on-one fight, under unclear circumstances, Wu Yuchun could use Zhenzhong to catch a Late Golden Core Cultivator off guard and kill him. But if his intentions were figured out, it would be difficult to win, just like Wen Sheng's final strike; if Zhou Zhuan hadn't intervened in time, Wu Yuchun would have faced certain death.
With such a powerful magical artifact at stake, it was hard for Xu Feng not to take the risk and fight back. The Golden Serpent Treasure from Zhou Zhuan was something Xu Feng dared not even think about, but Wu Yuchun's weaknesses were evident; his defenses could not withstand Xu Feng's attacks.
Moreover, Xu Feng had a powerful trump card: the Five Element Needle Technique.
Wu Yuchun was full of confidence when he saw that Xu Feng was not fleeing toward his camp but rather desperately flying into the barren area. This suited Wu Yuchun perfectly; he didn't have to worry about support from the Ten Factions' cultivators. Killing this Early Stage of Golden Core Lao Luo would be a matter of minutes.
Wu Yuchun urged his spiritual power fiercely and quickly caught up with Xu Feng. When they were less than a hundred meters apart, Xu Feng pretended to suddenly become alert and desperately flew forward, but he wasn't fast enough and had no choice but to fly low and dive into the overgrown thicket.
This was an uninhabited area; the mountains had trees and grass, but they were neither tall nor dense. Xu Feng landed and found it impossible to hide completely.
Wu Yuchun blocked Xu Feng, laughing maniacally, "Why aren't you running? Come on, run!"
Xu Feng stammered, "You... you..." as he retreated towards a denser area of trees, panic evident on his face.
Wu Yuchun closed in step by step, resembling a middle-aged creepy uncle. "Go ahead and scream! Even if you shout until your throat is raw, no one will come to save you, hahahaha."
"You... you..." Xu Feng found the spot he was looking for and stopped to face Wu Yuchun.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'll be quick about it, hehehe." Wu Yuchun sheathed his Flying Sword and summoned Zhenzhong.
"Do you... want to die?"
"What?" Wu Yuchun felt a chill run down his spine, sensing danger. "What do you mean, do I want to die? Hahaha! You little ant, how dare you say that? Do you think I would die before you? I might die, but unfortunately, you won't see it. However, I can let you witness how you die. I'll separate your head from your body and let you see your own back—something most people never get to see in their lifetime. Should you thank me? No need; helping others has always been my flaw. Really, no thanks necessary."
Wu Yuchun rambled on without realizing that Xu Feng's Five Element Needle Technique had already been unleashed.
