Chapter 31 - Falling Into the Tiger's Den

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“A few months ago, the situation in the Heaven Demon Sect changed drastically. A rare treasure must have appeared. We can’t let the Heaven Demon Sect monopolize such a good opportunity.”

The black figure swept his gaze towards the Zhishui Peak behind him.

“If I remember correctly, the current master of Zhishui Peak is a young elder called Lu Xiaoran. He seems to only have a cultivation at the third level of the Spirit Realm. The disciples under him are probably only some Postnatal and Connate small fries. With my cultivation at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm, it should be easy for me to handle the Zhishui Peak.”

“In that case, let’s start with Zhishui Peak.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure stepped on the astral winds and took advantage of the darkness to quickly climb up Zhishui Peak.

He could only do this because Lu Xiaoran was worried that his strength would be exposed further. Previously, he had already closed the Eight Trigrams Sky Sealing Formation and only left behind some ordinary formations. Therefore, it was also difficult for him to resist the other party’s footsteps.

Soon, they arrived at Zhishui Peak.

He had just arrived at the peak of the mountain when he saw Yun Lige walk out of his house. He seemed to be sorting out some miscellaneous items.

“This is perfect. There’s only one house around. Since there’s no one else around, I’ll take this brat down and get him to tell me what happened in the Heaven Demon Sect.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and immediately transformed into a black shadow that shot towards Yun Lige.

His speed was so fast that it even caused sparks to appear in the air. Before the sound of friction could be heard, his figure had already arrived in front of Yun Lige.

“Brat, come in with me.”

He transformed his hand into a claw and attacked Yun Lige’s throat like an eagle searching its nest, trying to bring him back to the room.

However!

Just as he thought that he could bring Yun Lige back to his room, a change suddenly happened.

Click!

Accompanied by a light sound, Yun Lige’s attack was fast like lightning. Yun Lige moved so fast that he did not even have the time to react. Yun Lige directly grabbed his arm and pulled it three centimeters away from his neck.

“What?!”

The other party was shocked!

He was a fifth level Spirit Realm expert!

Why was the other party able to grab his arm? Moreover, the force was so powerful that it made him feel like he was being crushed by a stone. He was unable to pull his arm back at all.

“Who are you?”

Yun Lige’s cold voice sounded. The tone that was filled with killing intent made the black figure feel a chill run down his spine. His frightened consciousness also returned to normal.

The other party’s cultivation had already surpassed the fifth level spirit realm.

“Are you Lu Xiaoran?”

Yun Lige frowned.

“How dare you use Master’s name so casually. You’re courting death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Lige circulated the Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture and directly threw a Primordial Chaos Emperor Fist.

The powerful might made the air under the night tremble violently, emitting an ear-piercing sound wave.

The White Bone Demon Sect Elder’s pupils dilated, and the hair on his body stood on end.

He could sense the threat of death from that fist.

He did not dare to be careless in the slightest. At this limit, he immediately used the top-grade Earth Realm cultivation technique of the White Bone Demon Sect—the Bone Burning Art.

That was one of the strongest life-saving techniques belonging to the Bone Burning Demon Sect.

By burning his bone marrow, he could obtain an explosive increase in energy for a short period of time.

However, after that, his cultivation and blood essence would decrease, greatly affecting his future cultivation.

However, at this moment, he did not have much choice.

With the help of this energy, the aura of the White Bone Demon Sect Elder soared explosively. In almost an instant, he reached the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, forcefully increasing his cultivation by two realm levels.

Without any hesitation, he immediately punched out and exchanged blows with Yun Lige.

Boom!

The two fists collided, and a powerful energy fluctuation directly blasted the two of them away.

Yun Lige retreated six steps, and the other party retreated twelve steps. What was even more terrifying was that Yun Lige had even torn off the arm that had grabbed onto previously.

Even though his cultivation had improved by two realm levels with the help of a secret technique, Yun Lige had still cultivated the Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture!

The strength of a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique was not something that could be suppressed by an additional one or two realm levels.

“Run!”

Without hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran.

Yun Lige threw away his arm and snorted.

“You want to run away after coming to my Zhishui Peak to cause trouble? Do you really think you can look down on the chief disciple of Zhishui Peak?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot and relied on the counterforce to instantly transform into a stream of light that chased after the other party.

The White Bone Demon Sect Elder was extremely anxious.

If Yun Lige caught up to him and attracted the others, he would be dead for sure.

However!

At this moment, Ji Wuxia also heard the commotion and quickly rushed out of the room.

“What’s going on?”

Yun Lige shouted from behind, “Junior Sister, this person is a thief. He barged into our Zhishui Peak at night. Quickly capture him!”

“What?”

Ji Wuxia’s eyes turned cold as she immediately circulated the True Phoenix Nine Transformations, prepared to attack.

The White Bone Demon Sect Elder was overjoyed.

As a senior brother, Yun Lige’s cultivation level was definitely stronger. This meant that Ji Wuxia’s cultivation level was definitely inferior to Yun Lige’s.

He could use this opportunity to take her down. With her as a hostage, he might even be able to turn the tables.

Thinking of this, not only did he not dodge, but he also increased his speed and headed straight for Ji Wuxia.

The benefits brought by the Bone Burning Art had not disappeared. His current cultivation level was at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm. This was also the reason why he was so confident at this moment!

Without any mercy, he attacked with a killing move!

“Little girl, thank you for coming out on your own. I won’t be polite. Give me…”

However!

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Wuxia attacked at an even faster speed. His pupils dilated slightly, as if he could see a roaring phoenix phantom behind Ji Wuxia.

A fear filled with death made him want to escape, but it was already too late.

Not to mention that he was unable to stop at this moment, even if he could stop at this moment, he still wouldn’t be able to dodge Ji Wuxia’s attack.

Boom!

Ji Wuxia’s palm landed fiercely on his fist.

The powerful might stripped away the spirit energy covering his arm on the spot. Then, his flesh was torn apart, and the bones inside were shattered inch by inch.

It had to be known that the White Bone Demon Sect mainly cultivated bones and their bones were much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

However, at this moment, in front of Ji Wuxia, his bones seemed to have turned to sand and he was unable to resist at all.

Ji Wuxia’s palm force did not lose momentum and shattered his arm inch by inch. Finally, it landed on his shoulder and directly caused it to explode into a bloody mist.

However, even so, he did not have the time to think. He could only use another secret technique of the White Bone Demon Sect—Bone Explosion Art.

Thi top-grade Earth Realm cultivation technique could allow its user to instantaneously teleport away by breaking a bone on the user’s body.

It was even crueler than the Bone Burning Art.

The Bone Burning Art only burned one’s bone marrow. There were still chances to make up for it by consuming natural treasures and top-grade medicinal pills. However, the Bone Explosion Art directly shattered one’s bones. To the cultivators of the White Bone Demon Sect, it was almost equivalent to cutting off their chances of continuing to advance..
