Chapter 100: Chapter 89 Electric Light Body Refinement_2

This was the Thunder Master divine skill innate to the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, quite similar to the Fire Master skill of the crow.

“Lightning attacks are far faster than those of fire, impossible to dodge, though their destructive power is somewhat inferior!”

Xu Mu contemplated in his heart.

His Fire Master skill, which he had already mastered to the level of a grandmaster half a month ago, was naturally more formidable than the recently acquired Thunder Master skill. However, the potential of the Thunder Master skill was immense; with continuous progress, it would one day surpass the Fire Master in terms of destructive power.

Furthermore, the power of lightning inherently suppresses the dark and insidious ghost cultivators. If he could enhance it by two more levels, it might not be effective against a common Golden Pill ancestor, but it would surely produce special effects against a Golden Pill ghost cultivator.

“Between mastering lightning and harnessing beast spirits, I’m pretty much the nemesis of ghost cultivators now!”

Xu Mu couldn’t help but chuckle in his heart.

Initially, he planned to demonstrate the lightning evasion skill of the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body but failed due to his limited level of attainment. Probably, mastery would be required to perform it.

By dusk, Chi Feiyan, having changed her appearance, donned a black veil and rode her flying sword out of the city.

Although there had been no sightings of ghost cultivators recently, there were still only a few people who dared to venture out at this time.

The guards at the city gate couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at her but didn’t meddle in her affair.

Not long after Chi Feiyan left the city, two figures at the Foundation Establishment Stage flew out from the city, concealing their aura and hiding their traces. They pursued in the direction Chi Feiyan had left.

They utilized some unknown method that allowed them to accurately catch up with Chi Feiyan despite a distance of over ten miles.

They trailed her closely, not rushing to capture or stop Chi Feiyan. They followed her for hundreds of miles until finally, as the sun was about to set, Chi Feiyan stopped by a waterfall that was several dozen meters high.

A young man stood with his hands behind his back at the base of the pool, gazing up at the waterfall.

Approaching the depth of winter, the waterfall’s flow was minimal, just a small stream that resembled a white silk band hanging in the middle of the cliff, swaying with the wind.

“The two of you have followed me this far. What is it that you want? Please, show yourselves!”

The young man turned around, gazing at the place where the two were hiding. Chi Feiyan silently walked up to his side.

The young man was none other than Xu Mu, who had been waiting here for a while.

Their aim in pursuing Chi Feiyan without taking action must have been him.

The two felt surprised at being discovered by Xu Mu. However, they stepped out from their hiding due to their confidence in their own abilities.

One was dressed in a deep cyan robe, the other in a khaki one. Both had average builds and wore black iron masks on their faces to protect their divine intent, concealing their ages and personalities.

The khaki-robed cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage stepped forward, locking his divine intent on Xu Mu. From behind his mask, a husky voice emerged, its gender and age indistinguishable.

“Fellow Daoist, people die for wealth as birds die for food. We two brothers have no other demands but to share half of the profit you made from selling the Foundation Establishment Pills!”

“That’s right!”

The cyan-robed cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage inserted his hands into his sleeve cuffs, his eyes fixed on Xu Mu, chiming in with an equally husky voice, “As long as Fellow Daoist divides half of the spirit stones with us, we two brothers will leave immediately!”

“You two simply want to take half of my hard-earned spirit stones with mere words. Isn’t that too childish?”

Xu Mu lightly flicked his finger, maintaining a calm tone.

“Childish?!”

The khaki-robed cultivator couldn’t help but burst into jeering laughter. “Do you fail to grasp the situation? We two brothers have been patient enough to discuss this peacefully with you, which is more than enough respect offered to you. If you refuse to appreciate our kindness, then we two brothers will have to retrieve it by force, and we’ll take more than just half!”

As he finished speaking, a blue light flew out from the khaki-robed cultivator’s sleeve, suspending before them. The blue light swiftly enlarged, transforming into a Spirit Sword enveloped by frost.

The cyan-robed cultivator flicked his sleeve, and a sharp green Spirit Sword flew out, its tip aimed at Xu Mu.

They no longer hid their presence, and a spiritual pressure belonging to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment flooded towards Xu Mu.

Two Sword Cultivators at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, challenging a newcomer at the initial stage, indeed had the confidence to utter those words just now.

“Sword Cultivators?”

Xu Mu’s eyes flickered, his lips curving into a smile, lightly uttering, “It seems that you two are not significant figures from the Liyang Sect.”

The Liyang Sect does not focus on Sword Cultivation, and not many in the sect specialize in the sword path, none of whom are at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to be precise.

“So what if we are? And what if we are not?” Khaki-robed cultivator sneered.

“If you are not, then you both can go to die!”

Before the echo of his voice faded, a white longsword exuding chill appeared in Xu Mu’s hand. White electric light emerged abruptly, performed a light step on the ground, and his figure disappeared instantly on the spot.

“Fool who courts death!”

The khaki-robed and cyan-robed cultivators uttered cold huffs simultaneously, preparing to cast a sword spell.

Suddenly, a harsh croak resounded behind them.

Their minds felt as if they had been heavily hammered, instantly falling into a state of dizziness. By the time they broke free from the dizziness, they only felt the world spinning. Out of the corners of their eyes, they saw two headless bodies standing erect.

Chi Feiyan, who was about to cast a spell, watched everything with dilating pupils, hastily retracting her hands quietly.

CAW!

The crow flew out from the woods behind them and landed on Xu Mu’s shoulder.

At the next moment, their four eyes simultaneously opened. An intangible force enveloped the two bodies, forcibly extracting two ethereal souls.

From their souls, they appeared to be two elderly men.

Fright adorned their gaze, their futile struggles ending in the crow’s open beak, mercilessly sucked inside.

The crow transformed into a black light, merging into Xu Mu’s body.

Xu Mu closed his eyes to circulate his martial method, reviewing the segments of memory within the two residual souls, aiming to solidify their identities.

Chi Feiyan, behind him, who had observed Xu Mu’s series of actions, turned frantic.

“Could the technique he used be the Luo Family’s Lu Ling Jue? No, impossible, it must be just a coincidence!”

Chi Feiyan was desperately reassuring herself.

After a moment, Xu Mu opened his eyes. His previously calm gaze turned icy cold.

Bending down, he removed the masks from their faces, revealing two aged faces that seemed to be over two hundred years old, resembling a withered piece of wood.

After confirming, he suppressed the fury in his heart, took all valuable items from their bodies, then flicked his fingers, shooting out two black flaming snakes to reduce the remaining bodies to ashes. Only then did he turn around and walk towards Chi Feiyan step by step.

Noticing the change in Xu Mu’s expression, Chi Feiyan realized that her secret was potentially exposed.

“Xu Lang, listen to me, the matter is… Ah!”

Xu Mu didn’t listen to her explanation. With a sprung step, he came close and backhandedly slapped her.

With a loud crack!

Chi Feiyan didn’t have time to react. Xu Mu’s slap caused her to spit out blood, seeing stars, with her body flying backwards.

“Wench! You dare deceive me!”
