Chapter 44: Seizing the Treasure

Chapter 44: Seizing the Treasure

Chen Lin was shocked as he watched the scene unfold, his heart trembling with fear.

This was the first time he had seen a high-level cultivator in action, and it was truly terrifying!

This was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator; if it were a legendary Golden Core cultivator, it would be even more breathtaking!

However, he thought again, the light sword was condensed from the array plate, and it didn't necessarily represent the cultivator's true power, so he shouldn't be too despairing.

His self-crafted Thunderbolt Four might still be able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

No matter how strong their powers were, they were still flesh and blood, not metal puppets. As long as they didn't activate their defensive techniques, a surprise attack would still have some effect.

At this moment, as the Lan Family's giant ship took action, another light sword appeared at a slightly farther location, also cutting off a large section of the red threads.

Immediately, two more light swords appeared.

Finally, in front of Chen Lin and the others, a sword beam shot up, heading towards the red threads and cutting them off.

But that was not all; after the red threads were cut off, five positions simultaneously released a beam of light, weaving together different colors to form a new light sword.

This light sword, although not very large, was even more condensed and solid, like a real entity, with a smooth, flowing surface that constantly changed colors.

"Hmph, it seems they aren’t cowards, and my efforts haven't been in vain!"

Yu Yuehai exclaimed with a rare look of surprise and joy in his eyes.

"Brother, I'm afraid those old guys from the five major families can't hurt this monster. Although this thing hasn't taken shape, it has the power comparable to that of a Golden Core at this stage. If it is fully formed, we won't even have a chance to escape!"

Ye Jingyun, who seemed to know the situation, also understood Yu Yuehai's plan and couldn't help but advise him.

However, Yu Yuehai was unmoved, his eyes flashing with madness and determination. He suddenly slapped his storage bag and growled, "They can't do it, so I'll lend them a hand!"

With that, he spat out a large mouthful of essence blood onto the array plate.

The array plate rumbled, and a massive light sword was condensed.

Yu Yuehai then took out a constantly writhing black object and flung it with force.

The black object twisted and screamed as it landed on the light sword, which instantly turned black and came to life, writhing and twisting like a living being, even growing limbs and fangs!

"Night Demon, senior brother, you actually have this thing!" Ye Jingyun exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock and a hint of fear.

"Hehe, one night demon is nothing to be so shocked about," Yu Yuehai laughed smugly.

"Senior brother, you should know that night demons are extremely dangerous. Once infected, you'll be cursed, and we should give up on that strange monster and leave quickly!" Ye Jingyun urged, her tone extremely tense.

Others might not know, but they had personally witnessed how much effort Yu Yuehai had put in to create the current scene. It was as if they had gone all out, but now they were giving up?

What did this mean? Were they doing a good deed?

As Chen Lin wondered, he suddenly felt a chill, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

With the appearance of the snowflakes, a cold, proud, and lonely aura filled the entire space, and the shattered illusory shadow rapidly reassembled.

It hadn't died.

Not only did it not die, but it also sprouted countless tentacles, counterattacking its assailants.

However, the five family leaders had come prepared, each unleashing their spiritual treasures and unleashing a barrage of spiritual light against the monster's illusory shadow.

But the monster was like an unkillable creature, and no matter how they attacked, it only caused its body to split open, only to rapidly reassemble itself.

On the other hand, the five Foundation Establishment strong cultivators' attacks grew weaker, as if they were running out of steam.

After entangling for a while, the five Foundation Establishment strong cultivators realized it was futile and turned to leave, abandoning their plan to plunder the treasure.

However, the monster refused to let them go.

Five thick, red threads shot out, descending upon them.

They were prepared, and the five of them joined forces to condense a light sword, which was not inferior to one condensed using an array plate. They slashed at the red threads.

But a shocking scene unfolded.

The red threads were exceptionally resilient and couldn't be severed in one strike!

The red threads flashed, accurately binding the five people together. The five bodies simultaneously stiffened, withering away at a visible speed.

But the five of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators after all, so they were not directly sucked into dried corpses.

"Clan leader!"

"Clan leader!"

Witnessing this scene, the cultivators from the five families cried out in shock, sending several beams of light to rescue them.

Unfortunately, their cultivation was too weak, and before they could get close, they were struck by the monster's red threads and turned into dried corpses, falling to the ground.

The scene was extremely gruesome.
