Chapter 146 - Jealousy
Di Jiu’s fifth Split-Wave Saber Move finally exploded completely within the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator.
When the fifth Split-Wave Saber Move’s saber wave collided with the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator’s body, the cultivator was shocked by the density of Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence. His twin cymbals had not completely blocked Di Jiu’s saber ripple earlier.
Like most cultivators who encountered the Split-Wave Saber Move for the first time, he had not paid much attention to the remaining saber move wave that landed on his body. He thought that it would only cause minor injuries that would be insignificant to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
No one would expect that the true killing intent of this saber move would explode after the saber ripple landed on his body. Boundless saber waves rushed into his body and exploded within it like waves that slammed against reefs and burst into numerous water drops…
A splitting pain and a deadly aura emanated as the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator stretched a finger out and pointed at Di Jiu as if he wanted to say something. However, a bloody mist suddenly exploded from his body, so he died before he could say anything.
Di Jiu did not care about this cultivator. He had sustained some injuries, so if he failed to kill off the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator, he would have to flee. Hence, he had been determined to kill the cultivator.
The moment the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator was killed, Di Jiu did not care about his waist injury anymore. The saber flare transformed into a saber screen, creating waves of killing intent.
It looked like waterfalls falling from empty air and descending 3,000 feet.
A fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator was sucked into the saber screen as soon as he shattered one of Di Jiu’s Gathering Peaks. As an oppressing space aura emanated, the fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator had no chance of resisting. He was immediately split in two by Di Jiu’s saber screen.
Inside the blue lake, Little Tree and Qin Yin were also disheartened. Di Jiu might be formidable, but there was a limit to the number of cultivators he could kill.
Even Zhong Xun started to slowly move over when he saw so many cultivators rush at Di Jiu.
He also knew that the density of the Spirit Qi of the lake had decreased. Although he did not know how long the spirit meridian Di Jiu had taken was, he was certain that Di Jiu had taken an entire spirit meridian. After cultivating in this spirit lake for a few days, he had already perfected the sixth-stage Golden Core Realm. If he acquired a portion of this spirit meridian, he would get a chance to attain the Essence Soul Realm.
When he saw Di Jiu get ambushed by countless people, Zhong Xun rushed out with the crowd without a care.
No matter how formidable he was, Di Jiu would surely die. Hence, he would no longer have any reason to be afraid of him. It was rumored that Di Jiu had used a confinement array to kill the Qi Family’s Golden Core cultivators on the third floor of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building. That day, Di Jiu had not had the opportunity to set up any confinement arrays. Plus, he had witnessed the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator’s spear pierce through Di Jiu’s waist. It seemed like Di Jiu was not as formidable as people said.
Even though he was wearing a spirit armor, several attacks struck him quickly, causing blood to splatter out of his body.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed that the cave entrance was being sealed by someone with an array formation restriction. Thus, he had no other choice but to fight these people head-on.
When Di Jiu whipped out his long saber, rays of saber screens spread out like crazy.
Di Jiu dared not just casually cast the Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves right now, as this technique consumed too much of his Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force.
Boom! Boom! Boom! As soon as the chaotic battle started, many Cultivators died. Meanwhile, Di Jiu was continuously attacked by various Dharma treasures.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed that the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator who had exaggerated the size of the spirit meridian and encouraged everyone to attack him was hiding at the back. He instantly realized that a lot of people there wanted to reap benefits without making an effort.
If everyone worked together, he would only be able to survive for 15 minutes.
As he thought of this, Di Jiu started to wander around and secretly set up several array flags.
Every time he set up some strangulation array flags, he would kill several cultivators. However, he also attained a few more wounds in the process.
Boom! A stone pearl suddenly slammed into Di Jiu’s saber. The stone fragments scattered all around, repressing the saber intent Di Jiu had just stimulated.
Before Di Jiu could put away the long saber and take it out again, the spear of the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator, who had been waiting aside for a long time, leaped at Di Jiu like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. The spear intent created by the spear broke through Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence barrier and spirit armor and pierced his chest.
As the spear was retracted, a fountain of blood spurted out of Di Jiu’s chest. Di Jiu felt his whole body suddenly go weak.
I can’t die here… As Di Jiu’s consciousness got a little blurry, the saber in his hand struck out again using the sixth Saber Move, called the Sky Screen.
This Sky Screen was different from the original Sky Screen, so it did not fall from empty space. Instead, it swept across from afar. Nearly all the cultivators were right below the sweeping Sky Screen.
