Tempered Immortal

Chapter 272: Fog Into Insects

Yue’er raised her beautiful eyebrows, and her pretty face darkened. As luck would have it, someone just arrived at the entrance at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment Yue’er turned into a green light and headed in the direction of the spiritual power.

Although there was a strong formation array set up by the young master here, and it was better to meet the enemy at this location, the chaos of the battle would certainly impact the young master’s golden core forming process, so Yue’er wanted to send the other party farther away.

At the same time, in a barren desert about more than 20 miles away from here, a blue light came to a stop. The light dispersed, and a middle-aged man of about thirty years of age appeared.

Wearing the Confucian robe of a scholar, plus his handsome face and elegant temperament, it was easy to win the goodwill of others.

However, you shouldn’t only look at the surface of things. They might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This person’s name was Zhao Shouguang, and he was famous among mid-level cultivators. He was even given a nickname, “The Scholar of Death.”

Although this person cultivated a real Taoist cultivation method. Even demon cultivators would be willing to admit defeat when it came to his ferocity and cunning!

He was not only moody but also fond of killing and robbing treasures.

Since his debut, he had killed countless low-level cultivators.

At least hundreds of them!

And his cultivation base was also very high. Although he hadn’t condensed a Golden Core, he had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Perfection Stage. In addition, he had a few powerful treasures. He didn’t take ordinary experts at the Foundation Establishment Stage seriously at all.

At this moment, Zhao Shouguang was suspended in the air. He looked at the scene in the distance from time to time. Just now, there was an unnatural phenomenon, and the spiritual energy was behaving abnormally. How could it disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?

Was it an illusion?

Zhao Shouguang shook his head, he was not confused.

Generally speaking, there were two possibilities for such a situation to happen. One was that a treasure was born, and the second was that a cultivator was condensing a Golden Core. The spiritual power in their body had reached its peak, so they had triggered the abnormal phenomenon of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this. A greedy look appeared on Zhao Shouguang’s face. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. If it was a precious treasure, he would not miss it.

If a cultivator was condensing a Golden Core here. It was also a great opportunity for him…

Judging from the abnormal scene just now, the other party should have reached the critical moment of forming the core. If the other party succeeded, he certainly didn’t dare to provoke him. After all, the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Perfection is just one step apart, but the difference in strength is like Heaven and Earth.

But at this critical moment, the other party couldn’t move at all. So they could only be slaughtered by others.

This person was most likely an independent cultivator. Otherwise, there was no reason for him not to impact his bottleneck in his sect. The reason why he came to this desolate place was naturally that he was afraid of being discovered. He was just lucky to have bumped into him accidentally.

A cruel smile appeared on Zhao Shouguang’s face. He felt a morbid pleasure when he imagined that he was going to play with a future high-level cultivator in the palm of his hand.

After all, although many cultivators had died in his hands before, none of them was one step away from the Core Formation Stage!

Not to mention that after killing his opponent, he could also find many treasures in his storage bag.

A future Golden Core cultivator should surely be very rich!

After making this judgment. Zhao Shouguang’s body shone with blue light and was about to fly over with his weapon, he didn’t hesitate. Although it would probably take some time for the opponent to condense his Golden Core, Zhao Shouguang was a vigilant man and felt that this matter could not be delayed. If the opponent actually came out in advance, he would have to flee with his tail between his legs.

Before he could move, Zhao Shouguang suddenly stopped with a frown and looked ahead in surprise.

In less than fifteen minutes, a dazzling green light flew in front of them. The light dispersed, revealing a delicate and lovely girl.

The girl was about eighteen or seventeen years old and had a sweet face. Her black and smooth hair was at knee length. However, there was a stunned expression on Zhao Shouguang’s face.

This girl had no shadow!

A ghost!

However, how could an ordinary ghost be exposed to the sun in broad daylight? Moreover, the girl’s spiritual power was astonishing. She was actually able to compare with a cultivator at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Is it…

Although Zhao Shouguang was not a good person, he had a wide range of knowledge. It was said that some ghosts with special physiques could also cultivate with ghost cultivation methods and magic abilities. ‘Is the woman in front of me…’

Yue’er was also looking at the cultivator in front of her. Although she had no expression on her face, she secretly complained in her heart. She didn’t expect his cultivation base to be so high. It seemed that it was not easy to send him away.

A formidable opponent!

The expression on Zhao Shouguang’s face was uncertain. After hesitating for a while, Yue’er said, “Sir, behind me is the forbidden area of my master. Please make a detour if you want to pass by.”

“Make a detour?”

Zhao Shouguang snorted with a fierce expression on his face. Yue’er was shocked and hurriedly stepped back.

A sharp beam swept past where she had stood just now. It was a short sword Spirit Tool that was about a foot long.

To Zhao Shouguang’s surprise, the other party even had a ghost with such a special constitution as his servant. Frightened, he paid more attention to the cultivator who was cultivating in seclusion to condense a Golden Core.

Since he had bad intentions, there was no need to waste time in talking nonsense. After all, it was not good for him to waste time here. He had planned to kill the little ghost in front of him by surprise, but he didn’t expect that Yue’er’s vigilance was still out of his imagination!

Although she had dodged the surprise attack, Yue’er was still afraid. She waved her hand and a palm-sized Jade Bracelet was lifted by her.

Her whole body was glittering and emitting a soft lustre. Zhao Shouguang’s eyes narrowed slightly without a trace of contempt. It was a top-grade Spirit Tool!

Of course, Yue’er’s means were not limited to this. She crossed her hands and held a strange hand-seal, then opened her lips slightly and uttered an obscure incantation.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a mass of black gas wrapped around the girl’s body. The black smoke shrank and puffed, as if it was alive, looking extremely strange.

Zhao Shouguang was shocked. Although he had killed over a hundred cultivators, it was the first time he had fought with a ghost cultivator.

It was said that every one of these guys who cultivated the Ghost Dao had amazing magical abilities, which was far from something that ordinary cultivators of the same level could compare with.

Of course, he wouldn’t let his opponent cast her spells freely. He spread out his spiritual sense, but as soon as it approached, it was blocked by the black cloud and he couldn’t see anything.

The ghost fog suddenly began to change. Countless small pockets of air were separated from the inside, and then with the girl’s incantation spell, they turned into countless strange-looking poisonous insects. Each of them was about the size of a thumb, but their mouthparts were very sharp, looking extremely terrifying.

They hovered above the black clouds. There were thousands of them.

They were so vivid that they didn’t seem to be transformed from the ghost fog and spiritual power at all.
