Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit

Chapter 386: The Young Man



Chapter 386: The Young Man

This train of thought distracted Hu Lili momentarily. The monster Enlightened Masters outside the island suddenly intensified their attacks, pulling her away from her thoughts and increasing her worries.

Hu Lili looked up and saw the protective formation’s barrier ripple violently under the barrage of attacks. Multiple holes were created in the protective barrier at once, leading many more monsters to enter the island.

Meanwhile, the protective light barrier became dimmer and was slower to restore the holes.

In the cave-dwelling, the spirit stones on the formation chassis started to explode at a faster rate, and the spirit vein’s spiritual energy started to lag behind the protective formation’s consumption.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before the protective formation broke, as the supply of spiritual energy could no longer match its consumption.

Luan Yu replaced the spirit stones on the chassis in a panic, but they exploded faster than he could replace them. Then, he clenched his teeth and placed his hands on the chassis, injecting his true energy directly into the chassis, supporting the protective formation with his own cultivation base.

But only a few moments later, his face turned white and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the chassis. It wasn’t easy to support the protective formation, let alone whilst it was enduring the attacks of several Mid Core Forging Realm monsters.

“Thankfully I’m not too late.”

Wang Qi recalled his mid-grade flying sword mystic instrument and heaved a sigh of relief. This was the fourth Blood Refining Realm monster he had killed.

Behind him was the spirit herb garden that he had taken good care of for the past three years. It was also the best spiritual field that he had been assigned to, and was why he cultivated it into a spirit herb garden in the first place.

After returning to Huang Li Island, Fang Wei and Fang Xia dropped Wang Qi in his spirit herb garden before turning back to fight the monster cultivators on the island. At the same time, they also searched for their father, Master Immortal Fang Tao.

As the person who had single-handedly cultivated the spirit herb garden, Wang Qi knew this place inside and out and had hidden himself in a cave near a corner. Whenever any Blood Refining Realm monster passed by, he would ambush and kill them swiftly.

During this time, he also helped a Blood Condensation Realm female kill a Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster.

At that time, the female was chasing after the monster, but the monster was running towards the center of the island where Lu Ping was. Hence, Wang Qi didn’t think much and flew out of the cave while sending out his flying sword towards the monster’s eyes.

Perhaps the monster didn’t think that a mere Blood Refining Realm human would pose any threat to it, or maybe the monster was too agitated to notice him. In any case, the ambush was successful.

The monster continued forward without slowing down. Although Wang Qi had already stepped to the side to evade the monster, he was still thrown a dozen feet away.

But before he slammed to the ground, he saw his flying sword pierce the monster’s eye as the female cultivator delivered the final blow. After hearing the monster’s final cry, he felt relieved.

Wang Qi crawled up from the ground, and saw the female cultivator already standing in front of him.

He quickly bowed and greeted her, while she said with a smile, “Not bad. You actually injured a Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster. What’s your name?”

Wang Qi quickly answered, “Wang Qi greets the Master Immortal. I was just lucky, if not for Master Immortal, the monster would’ve already killed me.”

The female cultivator chortled happily, “You have a sweet mouth. You’ve helped kill this beast, it’s yours now. The monster attack is incredibly intensive this time, so be careful.”

After that, she turned and flew away.

Wang Qi looked at the Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster corpse in front of him, and thought happily, This is a Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster! In addition to the resources I’ve accumulated over the years, I can definitely obtain two Blood Condensing Pellets!

After that, Wang Qi returned to hide in the cave and ambush any future Blood Refining Realm monsters that passed by. After he killed the fourth Blood Refining Realm monster, a loud explosion suddenly happened above him in the protective formation.

He looked up and saw several monster beasts falling down from a hole above him. One of them was a Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster that landed right in front of him.

Wang Qi’s heart immediately sunk, he didn’t even go and harvest the valuable parts of the monster corpse beside him and quickly retreated.

However, the Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster seemed to have locked onto him and traveled straight towards him.

Wang Qi was only in the Ninth Layer Blood Refining Realm, he couldn’t outrun a Mid Blood Condensation Realm monster. After a few moments, he could already see the mocking eyes of the monster behind him.

Wang Qi clenched his teeth and gripped his sword tightly as he prepared himself for his life’s final battle. Suddenly, he noticed another giant turtle right behind him; he was trapped in between two monsters!

Outside Huang Li Island, Enlightened Master Lv Hai looked at Enlightened Master Ma, and asked with hesitation, “Brother Ma, are you sure you want to enter Huang Li Island? You are a valuable guest from afar, it’s already a huge honor to have your help. You don’t need to take such a risk.”

Enlightened Master Ma laughed loudly, “I’m here to help, so of course I have to show my worth. Brother Lv Hai, you have to stay here and command the situation, you cannot leave. So, why not let me do it instead. What’s the matter, are you afraid that I will steal the show?”

Lv Hai waved his hands, and said, “Brother Ma, please don’t make fun of me. In that case, I’d like to thank Brother Ma in advance for rendering a great assistance.”

After that, Lv Hai and the other Enlightened Masters made another hole on the protective formation to let Enlightened Master Ma enter the island.

This was also the attack that injured Luan Yu and caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Luan Yu heard a familiar voice and quickly looked back.

Behind him, Lu Ping looked at him with a smile.

“Why are you…? Have you already broken through?” Luan Yu frowned after seeing Lu Ping exit, and then asked with surprise, “But with your strength a breakthrough will definitely come with a heavenly phenomena, why is…”

Lu Ping smiled and didn’t answer, he just walked up to the formation chassis and placed his hands on it like Luan Yu had done before. Then, amidst Luan Yu’s shock, the silvery formation chassis started to emit a sky blue glow from Lu Ping’s true energy!

Outside the island, right after Enlightened Master Ma had entered, the dim protective formation suddenly brightened up again, glowing with a sky blue tone this time.

“Not good, the humans still have cards left to play! We need to break the protective formation and send more Blood Condensation Realm underlings in. We have to occupy the island before Zhen Ling Sect arrives!”

Lv Hai and the monster Enlightened Masters worked together to attack the protective formation again. However, the holes they created were much smaller and were restored much quicker than before.

In the cave-dwelling, Luan Yu swallowed a recovery pellet and watched as Lu Ping directed another spirit vein to support the formation chassis’s consumption.

Then, he asked curiously, “Why don’t you use all the three remaining spirit veins to support the formation chassis?”

Lu Ping turned his head back, and said with a strange smile, “In that case, the monsters will stop attacking the island, right?”

Luan Yu clearly saw the heavy killing intent in Lu Ping’s eyes and felt a chill travel down his spine.

When he looked up again, Lu Ping was already gone and he could only hear him saying, “Take care of the formation chassis, thank you.”

Luan Yu didn’t reply, but a few moments later, he murmured to himself, “Is he really a Mid Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master?”

After entering the island, Enlightened Master Ma spread his divine revelation out to discern the situation. Apart from the cave-dwelling which was shrouded behind a protective formation, everything else entered his detection.

A moment later, he murmured in surprise and hesitation, “Huang Li Island still has so many cards left to play? Those bees, they look familiar… That girl, she must be Hu Lili, are those… Battle Intention Pellets? Hmph, a desolate continent like the North Ocean actually has these pellets around, who would’ve thought. Wait a minute… those three monster pets… they can’t be, no, it can’t be… how can they… why are they here? Are they really…”

“Emerald Sea Spirit Snakes!”

A stranger’s voice completed his sentence, stunning him thoroughly and causing him to dash forwards as a set of armor appeared on him out of thin air.

Whilst dashing forward, he also turned around, and raised his voice to question sternly, “Who’s there! Show yourse-…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a young man in his twenties a dozen feet away from him. The young man wore the smile of a gentleman, yet the murderous intent in his eyes showed that he was not friendly.

Right away, an oppressive divine revelation descended from above and stalled Enlightened Master Ma’s movements. Enlightened Master Ma broke out into a cold sweat as he looked at the young man in terror, and asked in a quivering tone, “Late… Core Forging Realm?”

The young man didn’t answer and only returned a mocking smile. Then, a flash of golden light blinded Enlightened Master Ma’s vision. Even without being able to see anything, Enlightened Master Ma knew this was his moment of life and death.

He summoned everything he had to defend himself. A mystic treasure was hurled forwards to parry the attack, another one was put up in front of him to defend, and his aegis energy divine ability merged with his set of extraordinary armor.

However, it was all for nothing.

The young man was already gone along with the flash of golden light. It was if he wasn’t here to fight, and was instead here to just see Enlightened Master Ma.

Enlightened Master Ma’s eyes were wide open in terror, with his mouth open in disbelief. He tried to utter something but the deep cut on his chest had drained him of all of his energy and had taken his life.
