Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 287: Chapter 190 Encounter

Three powerful talismans caused Jiang Chen’s clothes to break apart, revealing a body that shimmered black with strands of silver light.

Ling Bin’s Spiritual Flying Axe struck Jiang Chen’s head, emitting a sound of metal clashing against gold, and the Spiritual Flying Axe rebounded, leaving only a white mark where it struck Jiang Chen.

This white mark quickly faded and vanished.

Three powerful talismans and Ling Bin’s attack with the Spiritual Flying Axe did not affect Jiang Chen’s movement.

Jiang Chen again clawed at Mao Bin’s Spirit Artifact Shield, and this time the shield flickered briefly before dimming, falling from the sky like an object without a master.

This happened because the spiritual imprint Mao Bin left in the Spirit Artifact Shield was forcefully scattered by the immense power and Sword Intent, causing a slight daze in Mao Bin’s spirit.

...
This Spirit Artifact Shield was one he had cultivated for a long time; to maximize its power, he had continuously cultivated it, so the breaking of the spirit imprint had a greater impact.

Jiang Chen’s movements were simply too fast, the third claw he unleashed was unstoppable even by the Late-stage Foundation Establishment body beneath his sharp claws.

When Jiang Chen retracted his claw, it held a still-beating heart.

The powerful Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator Mao Bin could not withstand even a few moments in front of Jiang Chen.

Even among Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, there are gaps in combat power; Mao Bin was just entering this stage, whereas Jiang Chen was at peak strength.

Let alone that this was close combat, which was Jiang Chen’s absolute advantage.

Ling Bin prepared to attack, only to see Jiang Chen toss something at him; he was horrified upon realizing what it was.

It was a heart, and he could sense Mao Bin’s life force rapidly declining.

Ling Bin quickly pulled out a talisman, his body flashed with blue light as he tried to escape.

But just then, a hand grabbed his leg, and no amount of flashing blue light could help him leave the battlefield.

Jiang Chen, grabbing Ling Bin by one leg, swung him around like a wooden stick, smashing him into three Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Using a Mid-stage Cultivator’s body as a weapon was something perhaps only Jiang Chen would dare to do, his formidable defensive power ignoring all of Ling Bin’s tactics.

The three Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators were stunned by the swift combat unfolding before them, their reliance on Mao Bin robbed of his heart right before their eyes, their second reliance, Ling Bin, used as a weapon.

“Run!” the three Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators cried out, preparing to flee.

Jiang Chen let out a fierce roar, the pressure of his realm causing their bodies to stiffen, followed by Ling Bin’s body crashing down.

An Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was struck, and with a ‘boom,’ half of his body was smashed, Ling Bin’s body suffering equally, his bones fracturing on one side without any Body Refinement Techniques cultivated.

“Be careful not to damage the head!” Li Yuan Ba urgently reminded.

These were all contribution points; if the head was too badly damaged, they would not even know how to report the mission!

He also released a sword light to help Jiang Chen end the battle quickly.

Hearing his command, Jiang Chen switched to a horizontal swipe, causing Ling Bin’s body to collide with the body of a second Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the latter’s body contorting and flying out, lifeless in mid-air.

The remaining Zhang Tiande felt a chill at his heart, as a sword light burst from his chest, the Sword Intent and sharp Spiritual Power wreaking havoc inside him, and his life force vanished within moments.

A battle that seemed unequal was completely turned around after Jiang Chen’s arrival.

This is Corpse Refining, deeply favored by Devil Cultivators.

After the fight, Jiang Chen, with a bit of a bloodthirsty streak, licked the fresh blood on his hands, the red in his eyes deepening.

Li Yuanba sensed Jiang Chen’s emotions and did not stop his actions; bloodlust was an instinct of Corpse Refining.

He cut off the heads of five cultivators, collecting them, and took their five storage bags, casually inspecting them before hanging them all at his waist.

From his perspective, whether it was the Cultivation Techniques or Spiritual Artifacts of these Loose Cultivators, none could attract him.

However, he did find a special Token featuring the word ‘Tai Chu,’ notable for the anti-counterfeiting techniques used by major sects.

With his knowledge of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he had not heard of a Tai Chu sect.

He kept the Tai Chu Token aside to investigate further upon returning to his sect.

After dealing with these tasks, Jiang Chen had consumed enough blood; among the five bodies, only Mao Bin’s interested him.

Li Yuanba put Jiang Chen away, reasoning that if he joined the Devil Sect, he should be able to tolerate Jiang Chen sucking the blood of enemies, or else why join the Devil Sect!

As long as he did not actively engage in horrifying deeds, even in the Devil Sect, he remained himself.

He checked his direction, then transformed into a sword light that streaked toward the distance.

Li Shiming finally spotted not one but a group of spirit beasts.

As Xu Chuan and he were navigating through the mountains, a group of Spirit Monkeys appeared from the other side of the mountain, meeting them face to face.

This encounter was completely unexpected; the two men and the group of Spirit Monkeys faced off.

Li Shiming’s gaze fell upon the Spirit Monkey King in the group, the Spirit Monkey King’s entire body snow-white, its aura reaching Mid-stage Foundation Establishment; alongside it, there were four Early-stage Foundation Establishment White Monkeys.

“Brother Li, we need to make it quick. We can’t drag this out!” Xu Chuan softly advised.
