Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the dead of night, the southwestern corner of Jiayuan City erupted with deafening explosions!
The entire city’s residents huddled in their homes, trembling in fear!
These explosions were beyond anything humans could produce!
At the same time, in the southwestern corner.
Christopher Tong’s face was grim, his clothes tattered, and behind him lay ten outer disciples, sprawled in disarray.
Each one was covered in blood, barely breathing.
In just an instant, they had been severely injured by three Black Tongue Demons, teetering on the brink of death.
This was the insurmountable gap between Qi Refining stage and Foundation Establishment stage, like a chasm that could not be crossed!
“Can you still hold on?”
Christopher Tong focused his gaze on the three Black Tongue Demons, slightly turning his head to ask in a low voice.
No one responded, the disciples were nearly unconscious, perhaps not even hearing his words.
“Heh heh heh, now it’s your turn… It’s been a while since I tasted the blood of a cultivator… It’s such a great tonic.”
The leading Black Tongue Demon taunted, seeing the hesitation on Christopher Tong’s face.
He could tell that this Foundation Establishment disciple was torn, wanting to flee but unwilling to abandon the Qi Refining stage disciples here.
And this was precisely why they hadn’t directly killed these disciples, to bind this Foundation Establishment disciple!
“Senior Brother Tong… you should go… we can’t be saved…”
At this moment, one of the outer disciples regained a bit of consciousness, veins bulging on his neck as he roared with all his might!
Hearing his roar, the other disciples also became slightly more alert, their expressions filled with unwillingness and despair, along with the fear of death.
Hearing this, Christopher Tong became even more reluctant to leave. His brows furrowed for a moment before he let out a heavy sigh, as if making a monumental decision!
A pale golden talisman appeared in his hand!
This was a life-saving treasure given to him by his Master on the day he became a direct disciple!
It was said that this talisman was left behind by his Master’s Master, who had no hope of advancing further!
Not to mention that it contained the full power of a Golden Elixir cultivator’s strike, it also held immense sentimental value, showing how precious it was!
“Hmm? What’s that in his hand?”
The three Black Tongue Demons’ expressions changed, sensing a terrifying power from the talisman Christopher Tong held!
“Quick! Kill him! Delay and there will be changes!”
With a sharp cry, the three Black Tongue Demons lunged at Christopher Tong!
Seeing this, Christopher Tong’s eyes flashed with pity and regret as he looked at the talisman in his hand, then turned resolute. He injected a stream of spiritual power into it and hurled it fiercely at the three Black Tongue Demons!
As the talisman flew through the air, it suddenly shattered into pieces, and in an instant, brilliant light shot out in all directions!
Illuminating the shocked faces of the disciples!
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky, followed by a tiny arc of lightning descending from the heavens!
This arc of lightning was pitifully small…
But in the eyes of the three Black Tongue Demons, it was infinitely magnified!!
Even though it was small, it was still the power of lightning!
The energy contained within was enough to rival a full-strength strike from a Golden Elixir cultivator!
“Run!”
In an instant, the three Black Tongue Demons lost their will to fight, fear taking over as they turned into black mist, trying to escape.
But no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t outrun the arc of lightning.
The lightning quickly struck the three Black Tongue Demons!
Sizzle…
Immediately, black smoke rose, and the three Black Tongue Demons howled in pain, looking up to the sky!
“Ah!!!!!!”
…
As the sound that shook the entire city faded, the three Black Tongue Demons were forever gone under the arc of lightning.
Jiayuan City fell into silence.
Thud.
Christopher Tong stumbled and fell to the ground, ignoring the stunned disciples, his face devoid of joy, muttering with vacant eyes:
“Master, the talisman left by your Master has been used up by your disciple… Why, why are there second-level demons in the mortal world…”
It could be said that without the talisman, not only the Qi Refining stage disciples behind him, but even he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would likely have died in this mortal world today.
Meanwhile,
In the Qian Mansion courtyard in Moyu Town,
Ambrose Lu faced three Black Tongue Demons.
Their ugly faces were filled with mockery, looking disdainfully at the man in cyan cloth opposite them.
They guessed that this man in cyan might be a Taoist. With his simple cyan clothes, if he wore a Taoist crown and carried a wooden sword on his back, wouldn’t he look just like a Taoist?
Why say this? Because besides the occasional cultivator descending into the mortal world, there were also many Taoists who exorcised demons in the mortal world.
But those so-called half-baked Taoists, they weren’t afraid of. Most of those half-baked Taoists were just Qi Refining stage cultivators who, having no hope on the path of immortality, retired to the mortal world to become Taoists.
“No, this person shouldn’t be a Taoist. If he were only at the Qi Refining stage, we would definitely sense it! But in our perception, his cultivation is unusually vague. It seems he is at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivator from the cultivation world!”
Suddenly, one of the Black Tongue Demons shouted.
They had no reason not to sense a Qi Refining stage cultivator, so he must be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!
They didn’t believe that a Golden Elixir cultivator would descend into the mortal world for no reason.
However, they couldn’t tell which level of the Foundation Establishment stage this man in cyan was at.
“Heh, so what if he’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator? The three of us, even against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, can still fight! Since this cultivator is seeking death, let’s kill him!” One of the Black Tongue Demons said viciously, flicking its long tongue.
“Three little demons with strength similar to human Foundation Establishment stage? Why are you making such a big fuss invading the mortal world?”
At this moment, Ambrose Lu, who had been silent, asked them calmly.
Logically, in such a low-level mortal world, the occasional appearance of a Qi Refining stage little demon was normal, but the appearance of so many Foundation Establishment stage little demons was unusual.
Weren’t they afraid of incurring the displeasure of the cultivation world?
“Heh heh heh, the cultivation world? The Spirit Dust Realm has been peaceful for too long… The demon and monster realms have already allied, and soon the Spirit Dust Realm will be in our grasp!!” The Black Tongue Demon laughed proudly, but with a tone of resentment: “Now… this is just the beginning, heh heh heh!”
To this, the other two Black Tongue Demons didn’t think much of it. After all, this person was destined to die, and boasting a bit at this moment felt quite satisfying!
Ambrose Lu nodded lightly.
This world called the Spirit Dust Realm was about to become unstable, as he had learned.
“You, cultivator, don’t you want to ask why???”
Seeing the man in cyan’s indifferent expression, the three Black Tongue Demons were stunned and then extremely displeased, shouting angrily!
This wasn’t the reaction they wanted to see. Shouldn’t this person be showing extreme fear upon hearing such terrifying news!
“Why?” Ambrose Lu asked seriously.
This perfunctory attitude made the three Black Tongue Demons furious!!!
“Kill him!”
Seeing the three Black Tongue Demons charging at him furiously, Ambrose Lu suddenly smiled.
“Even true immortals fear me like a god, and you three… are quite brave.”
