Of course, these three Demon Cultivators acted so recklessly because of their own powerful strengths.
Two of them were at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and one was at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
Nonetheless, Zhou Sui’s strength was merely at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer. With three against one, they were stronger as well; they couldn’t find a reason why they might lose.
“Enter the dream.”
just at that moment, without any hesitation, Zhou Sui immediately put the power of the Dream Soul Gu into action.
Ever since he had advanced to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, the power of the Dream Soul Gu was further improved. The Power of Dream Entry had become even more terrifying, and even cultivators from the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer couldn’t resist it.
He was not interested in talking to these Demon Cultivators.
On seeing them, he took a murderous move at once.
He knew that he didn’t have as much combat experience compared to these Demon Cultivators, so if he took them head-on, he would surely lose.
Only by launching a sneak attack was he able to defeat them.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, an invisible wave of soul energy gushed out of Zhou Sui’s body and enshrouded the three demon Cultivators in the blink of an eye.
What?!
The three Demon Cultivators were stunned. They had originally planned to say something or even taunt this old Cultivator.
But now, they had been dragged into the dream world.
They were standing there in a daze, staring blankly and unable to move.
They were oblivious to what was happening around them.
“Kill!”
Immediately, Zhou Sui took out a Lower First-grade flying sword from his storage bag and channeled the power of True Yuan in his body, emitting sharp and unparalleled Sword Qi.
Although he hadn’t practiced swordsmanship often, he had gained a great deal of knowledge about it through his cultivation partnership with Ji Bingyu. He had even raised his Swordsmanship to the First-grade Superior level.
He held the flying sword as if he had practiced it for decades, like an experienced Sword Cultivator. He seemed flawless and extremely cunning. The sword radiated a dazzling light in the air at an angle defying predictability.
Even at this moment, a Geng Metal Qi emanated from the Gold Eating Bug.
This Geng Metal Qi also fused into the Sword Qi, making it possess an all-conquering power that could break even magical artifacts with its Armor Break ability. It could easily break any defense.
Thump!
The next second, the Sword Qi instantly appeared on the three Demon Cultivators.
Apparently, these three Demon Cultivators were also equipped with defensive magical artifacts. An emergency brought out a translucent energy shield that could withstand magical attacks.
However, when faced with the terrible Sword Qi, it was of no use at all.
With a splash, the energy shields around the Demon Cultivators were effortlessly slashed open like tofu, and their heads were sent flying, blood splattering everywhere.
Their eyes were wide open, reflecting their deep horror, shock, and disbelief. They could hardly believe that they were noble Demon Cultivators, all of whom were in the late stages of Qi Cultivation.
They couldn’t believe that they were instantly killed by an old Loose Cultivator.
They couldn’t accept it!
■’Impressive, is this the power of a Sword Cultivator? Is this the power of the Gold Eating Bug?”
Zhou Sui’s eyes glittered with excitement.
Although he knew he was a First-grade Superior Sword Cultivator, he didn’t need to fight before and had never used Swordsmanship.
But facing these three Demon Cultivators now, he was able to use it freely and effortlessly.
Of course, that was not all.
The Gold Eating Bug also brought him great surprises.
It could not only serve as a major attack method, but it could also provide auxiliary power to the host, which could enhance the Geng Metal Qi in the host’s body.
When he unleashed his Sword Qi, the addition of the Geng Metal Qi effectively doubled his attack potency.
The energy even had an Armor Break trait.
Even those cultivators outfitted with defensive magic artifacts could not withstand this attack, being instantly pierced through by his sword.
One could say, it was the bane of those cultivators with high defenses. “Indeed, ambushing is the best, head-on fights are simply too foolish. If there’s a chance to ambush, then ambush. If there’s a chance to plot, then plot. There doesn’t need to be any sense of honor when dealing with these demonic path cultivators.”
Zhou Sui was very satisfied with the results of this battle.
If these three demonic cultivators were allowed to counterattack, no one would be able to predict what means they would use.
A moment of carelessness could cause him to capsize in the gutter.
Now, he had taken the initiative, killing them instantly.
The three demon cultivators didn’t even have the chance to use their abilities before they were annihilated.
Typically, cultivator battles were like this, with victory and defeat determined in an instant.
There was no such thing as fighting for three hundred rounds.
“How come there are demon cultivators appearing this close to Misty Cloud City? Could it be that the demonic sects really planning to invade Immortal Mist Sect? I need to investigate these demon cultivators’ memories.”
“Soul Search!”
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui decisively used the Dream Soul Gu’s second ability, Soul Search. It was much more potent than the demonic path cultivator’s soul-searching technique.
Whoooosh—
All at once, these three cultivators’ soul memories rushed into the Dream Soul Gu like a flood.
These memories played out before him like scenes from a movie.
“So that’s how it is, they are all cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect.”
Zhou Sui took a deep breath.
He instantly gained sufficient information from these three demon cultivators, just as he had previously guessed, the Ghost Demon Sect is planning to invade Immortal Mist Sect and destroy the Red Gold Mine. They do not want the Immortal Mist Sect’s power to continue growing.
These demon cultivators appearing near Misty Cloud City were essentially the vanguard units of the Ghost Demon Sect.
They were here to gather intelligence about the Misty Cloud Mountain Range. There are even demon cultivators who have infiltrated Misty Cloud City.
Once the Ghost Demon Sect launches its attack, the allies within Misty Cloud City can unite with outside forces, completely breaking through Misty Cloud City.
This would result in serious losses for the Immortal Mist Sect.
“No, it’s not as simple as wanting to attack Misty Cloud City, they are also planning to attack Immortal Mist Sect.”
“The Ghost Demon Sect is initiating a war between two sects, planning to devastate Immortal Mist Sect.”
Upon considering this, Zhou Sui gasped in alarm.
He knew the matter was serious, but he did not expect it to be so grave. He was about to witness a war between two Golden Core Sects, a truly shocking event. Once the war breaks out, there would be no safe places.
Luckily, he wasn’t foolish enough to leave Misty Cloud City earlier.
Many Ghost Demon Sect cultivators, including some Foundation-building Cultivators, had already lurked around the Misty Cloud Mountain Range.
If he had hastily left, he could have been killed by these demonic path cultivators.
The three demon cultivators he just encountered were merely a fragment of the larger force.
Going anywhere now would surely be dangerous. Only by staying in Misty Cloud City would he be relatively safe.
By utilizing the city’s second-stage defensive array and the assistance of numerous cultivators, there was a chance of withstanding the demon cultivators’ attack..
