Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Stealing from Your Heavenly Dao Sect!

“Whoosh~~~~”

A chilling light shot through the air first, followed closely by the tip of the spear, which violently collided with the sword energy descending from Lingxiao.

Fast, fierce, precise, steady!

Boom~~~~

In an instant, the air erupted with the sound of a world-shaking collision.

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, the sword energy struck down by Lingxiao began to shatter inch by inch, disappearing into the void.

The spear’s momentum remained unyielding, piercing straight toward Lingxiao.

Lingxiao’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his massive sword to block.

Clang!

The two weapons clashed against each other.

An Intermediate Grade Spirit Artifact meeting a High Grade Spirit Artifact, the outcome was already predictable!

Crack!

The long sword in Lingxiao’s hand snapped in response, and the force was so powerful that it left his right hand, which held the sword, bloodied.

“Pfff!”

In the next moment, the spear surged forward like a bamboo shoot splitting through the ground, heading straight for Lingxiao.

Lingxiao couldn’t evade in time as the spear pierced through his shoulder, leaving behind a spray of blood.

One strike, crushing Lingxiao!

Crushing the number one Golden Core in the Great Zhao Empire!

“What incredible strength!”

“To defeat Lingxiao in one strike, even if Lingxiao was already injured beforehand, it’s still something that wouldn’t be achievable by someone in the Golden Core Realm!”

“This was just a casual shot; who knows how strong his true power really is?”

“It seems the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect truly is a powerhouse in the Nascent Soul Realm!”

Everyone around changed their expressions, shocked and murmuring amongst themselves.

In particular, the Golden Core Great Perfection experts from the Yuntian Sect and the Great Zhao Royal Family, who had previously considered intervening, gasped in surprise upon witnessing this scene, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Fortunately, they hadn’t made a move!

Otherwise, with their strength being inferior to even Lingxiao’s, the spear would likely have pierced their hearts!

The spear made a wide arc before returning to Su Bai’s hand.

Looking at Lingxiao’s pitiful state, Su Bai couldn’t help but shake his head, a look of disappointment crossing his face.

“Weak, far too weak!”

“You, the first Golden Core of the Empire, are just all show; it’s nothing but fluff!”

Hearing this, Lingxiao’s face turned red with anger, and the strain of his injuries made him spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Weak, far too weak?

Lingxiao was renowned as the strongest expert in the Golden Core Realm of the Great Zhao Empire!

Yet now, he appeared so easily defeated in front of Su Bai!

Of course, some people didn’t dare to voice their thoughts, but internally, they were scoffing: as a Nascent Soul, of course, someone in the Golden Core Realm would seem weak in your eyes!

However, what everyone didn’t know was that Su Bai was not actually a Nascent Soul, nor even a full Golden Core Great Perfection!

His real cultivation base was at the Third Layer of Golden Core!

Oh, wait, because disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect were constantly breaking through and enhancing their cultivation, that Third Layer was from a stick of incense ago—now he was already at the Fourth Layer of Golden Core.

Fourth Layer of Golden Core, crushing Lingxiao at the peak of the Ninth Layer!

A difference of five and a half minor realms!

Of course, it isn’t that Lingxiao is truly too weak; it’s that Su Bai is too strong!

With Ultra Divine Level Immortal Techniques and High Grade Spirit Artifacts, combining the strengths of tens of thousands of disciples, how can he be compared to an ordinary Golden Core?

Lingxiao’s power can already be considered formidable among the ordinary Golden Core experts at the peak of the Ninth Layer.

But that’s only in the context of ordinary Golden Cores; it doesn’t apply to the genius Golden Cores.

The Continent is immense, and the Lingxiao Sect, as the hegemon of the Great Zhao Empire, seems incredibly insignificant on the larger scale.

Even among the Immortal Alliance Top 500, there is a gap.

The strength of the Lingxiao Sect barely scrapes the bottom level; if not for the uncertainty surrounding the life or death of the previous Sect Master, just relying on Yun Zhi alone, they wouldn’t even make it into the Top 500!

Some extraordinary geniuses of major powers possess superior Immortal Techniques, high-grade weapons, exceptional physiques, comprehension abilities, and so on.

There are even individuals who can engage in battle with Nascent Souls while still in the Golden Core realm, creating astonishing feats.

What does Lingxiao have?

The Lingxiao Art he cultivates is already a top-tier Immortal Technique within the Great Zhao Empire.

Outside of the Great Zhao Empire, it’s merely third-rate.

In Su Bai’s eyes, he appears as nothing more than roadside rubbish, undesirable even for the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect to practice with.

The weapon in his hand is merely a Medium Grade Spirit Artifact.

Which heavenly prodigy of a major power uses anything less than a higher-tier weapon?

There’s nothing extraordinary about his miraculous spells or sword techniques.

Therefore, even if Su Bai is only at the Fourth Layer of Golden Core, he doesn’t regard him with any seriousness!

It’s just like the earlier Gao Kepan, who also reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of Golden Core; his aura alone was enough to make Lingxiao unable to bear it!

Gao Kepan, despite being only at the Fourth Layer of Golden Core, possesses a full set of High Grade Spirit Artifacts. If a real fight broke out, most likely it would be Lingxiao who would be calling him “Daddy,” and there’d be a good chance his teeth would be knocked out in the process. However, Gao Kepan is just a Core Disciple of the Immortal Palace; above him, there are True Inheritors, and even possibly a Holy Son among them.

“Old man, take a hundred kicks from me!”

“Two hundred kicks!”

“Three hundred kicks!”

On the other side, the Fire Qilin was already overly excited. With its legs flying, it kicked the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect around like a ball, sending him flying back and forth.

Bang!

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect had his head kicked to the point where it was buzzing, his face swollen and battered, looking completely wretched.

“Damn it, beast!”

“I’ll kill you!”

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect erupted with anger, but in his fury, he received another kick from the Fire Qilin right on the nose. Instantly, blood gushed forth, and his nasal bone collapsed, making him look incredibly ridiculous.

“The fate of the Lingxiao Sect has come to an end…”

Yun Zhi, the Sect Master of Yuntian Sect, and the Great Zhao Emperor both sighed slightly. At this point, the three top combat powers of the Lingxiao Sect had become half-wrecked, leaving no chance for recovery; they would completely lose their claim to the Spirit Veins.

However, the expressions of the two did not relax; instead, their brows furrowed even tighter. They had eliminated one Lingxiao Sect, but now a more powerful Heavenly Dao Sect had emerged! This Heavenly Dao Sect was clearly much more difficult to deal with than the Lingxiao Sect!

“Ah!”

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect fled miserably, looking as disheveled as could be.

On the Floating Island, hundreds of thousands of disciples exchanged glances.

Wasn’t the plan to cheer from the sidelines while watching the overwhelming victory?

How did they end up being crushed instead?

Did they pick up the wrong script?

“Aha, ha ha, Su Bai, you might be celebrating a bit too early!”

As the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect frantically fled, he laughed loudly as he ran.

“Can you still find time to laugh at this point?” Su Bai looked at him calmly.

“Hey, haven’t you noticed? We’re missing someone!” The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect suddenly smiled oddly.

This statement caused the experts from Yuntian Sect and the royal family to be taken aback, and they then scanned the lineup of Lingxiao Sect.

Missing someone?

“Is… is it the other injured Nascent Soul Ancestor from Lingxiao Sect?”

Someone exclaimed, finally realizing who was absent.

They had just focused their attention on the battle between the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect and the Fire Qilin, as well as Su Bai overwhelming Lingxiao, neglecting the others.

Now, hearing the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect say that, they suddenly understood.

Yes, both Nascent Soul Ancestors of Lingxiao Sect had arrived, but why was one of them not making a move?

“Where did that old guy go… calling for reinforcements?” Yun Zhi and the Great Zhao Emperor both frowned slightly.

“Hehe, when we struck just now, we weren’t actually trying to defeat you; we were only trying to attract your attention and buy some time!”

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect laughed heartily, seemingly reveling in the success of his scheme, his face filled with pride. “At this moment, my Junior Brother should have already arrived at your Heavenly Dao Sect.”

“Su Bai, aside from you, what other strong fighters can the Heavenly Dao Sect boast?”

“Our real goal is to pay you back in kind and steal from your Heavenly Dao Sect!”
