Chapter 361: Chapter 227: Slaying the Demon

Li Yuanba took the purple Jade Scroll and the shrunken Corpse Refining Coffin. The Corpse Refining Coffin was a special third-grade spiritual item, presumably used for Corpse Refining; it was not considered a magical treasure.

Nevertheless, the value of the Corpse Refining Coffin was not any less than that of a magical treasure. It was made from third-grade materials, something he could confirm from its aura.

“It’s really the Golden Core Elders of the major sects who are generous; with a wave of their hand, they’ll give away a third-grade spiritual item!” he exclaimed in admiration. Regardless, just the Corpse Refining Coffin alone was enough to exchange for the Jade Foot Relics.

He sent a Spiritual Thought into the purple Jade Scroll and discovered that this was not something made in a short period of time, but rather a complete inheritance. Indeed, this purple Jade Scroll was likely the original scroll of some power.

Traces of passing years were evident on the purple Jade Scroll, something that could not be faked.

There was no encryption within the contents of the purple Jade Scroll, nor any tests; he could see everything.

...

“Elder Lv, this is the inheritance I’ve acquired!” Having stored the purple Jade Scroll and the Corpse Refining Coffin, he then tossed the Jade Foot Relics over and said.

Elder Lv was surprised and delighted. He had thought that Li Yuanba might resort to some trickery, not expecting him to throw over the Jade Foot Relic so straightforwardly.

Still cautious, he waved his hand and summoned an Iron Corpse. It was one of the many Corpse Refinings he had crafted. Although it wasn’t particularly strong, it was at the late stages of Iron Corpse.

With the Iron Corpse present, even if there were any issues, it would protect him.

Only after making these preparations did he extend his Divine Thought into the Jade Foot Relics.

Elder Lv’s body suddenly stiffened as his consciousness was forcibly drawn into the Jade Foot Relics, which began to assess him.

The Jade Foot Relics were, after all, Qianye Temple’s secret legacy. Apart from a very few high-ranking members of Qianye Temple, not to mention outsiders, even within the temple itself, hardly anyone knew the details.

Li Yuanba had calculated that Elder Lv would examine the Jade Foot Relics. He knew all too well what the relics were about.

Since Elder Lv valued the Jade Foot Relics so highly, venturing into the Foundation Establishment battlefield and risking much to snatch them, it would be impossible for him not to verify the authenticity of the relics.

The moment Elder Lv’s consciousness was drawn into the Jade Foot Relics, Li Yuanba summoned Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s figure flashed as he charged at the Iron Corpse, which had received orders to protect Elder Lv, but instinctively engaged upon seeing Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was significantly stronger than the Iron Corpse, yet Elder Lv’s Iron Corpse was clearly specially trained; while its offensive power wasn’t as formidable as Jiang Chen’s, its defensive power was by no means inferior to Jiang Chen’s.

Jiang Chen’s attacks bore Sword Intent. Being an extremely special Peak Iron Corpse, the effectiveness of the attacks on Elder Lv’s Iron Corpse was not too significant.

Li Yuanba launched a ray of sword light towards Elder Lv.

Just as the sword light was about to hit Elder Lv, his body instinctively dodged, narrowly avoiding the strike.

This was another of Elder Lv’s special techniques—when his consciousness was unable to control his body, an instinctual consciousness would emerge to protect himself.

Each Golden Core cultivator is unique, with different fortunes and various life-saving measures at their disposal.

Despite the ceaseless onslaught of sword light, Elder Lv kept dodging, causing every strike to miss its mark.

Li Yuanba clenched his teeth in frustration; even in such a situation, he still couldn’t deal with Elder Lv.

He dared not engage in close combat with a true Golden Core Elder. Even though Elder Lv had suppressed his power, his body was that of a middle-stage Golden Core; if hit during close combat, Li Yuanba wouldn’t perish but would certainly be severely injured.

Not to mention, he couldn’t guarantee whether Elder Lv, under certain pressures, might unleash the full strength of a Golden Core cultivator in this state.

Although Elder Lv would certainly be besieged by Righteous Path Golden Core cultivators afterward, before that happened, Li Yuanba would likely be unable to save his own life.

When Elder Lv’s instinctual combat consciousness was activated, he wouldn’t simply allow Li Yuanba to attack him. This version of him lacked much Wisdom and only knew to attack the nearest target.

The nearest target was Jiang Chen, and Elder Lv charged at him without using any magical treasures, relying solely on his Golden Core body to strike at Jiang Chen with his palm.

Jiang Chen, after repelling the Iron Corpse, also countered with a palm strike towards Elder Lv.

As their palms met, both Elder Lv and Jiang Chen staggered, neither gaining an advantage.

The Iron Corpse charged back into the fray, joining Elder Lv in attacking Jiang Chen, who was quickly put on the defensive and inadvertently hit by both Elder Lv and the Iron Corpse.

Li Yuanba could see that Elder Lv, in his current state, couldn’t even use Spiritual Power and was relying purely on his formidable Golden Core body to fight.

Otherwise, even with Jiang Chen’s strong defenses, he wouldn’t have been able to fend off a casual blow from a Golden Core Middle-Stage cultivator.

Li Yuanba was growing anxious; it was unclear how long the Jade Foot Relics could restrain Elder Lv. Elder Lv wasn’t just any Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator; his Spirit was many times stronger than both himself and his original self, Li Shiming.

Communicating mentally with Jiang Chen, Li Yuanba had Jiang Chen fight while retreating, drawing the combat to one side.

Suddenly, Elder Lv’s instinctual combat consciousness turned towards a particular spot nearby. With a punch, he struck it, and a Formation set up by nine flags was broken.

A startled ghost flew up but did not escape the aftermath of the punch. There was also a small square box, now shattered into pieces.

This ghost was a split soul from the ‘Spirit Control Soul Splitting Technique’, used by Li Shiming to distract Elder Lv’s attention. The small square box was a monitoring device.
