Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 399 - 405: Inventory Check

Despite that, the two were scared into a cold sweat, immediately guarding their minds and not daring to be careless any longer.

However, they did not notice an odd thing, the sudden appearance of peculiar vines at their feet!

Why had Li Zhirui chosen the dense mountain forest as a battlefield? Was it not to allow the Spirit Vines to approach them undetected, achieving a surprise attack?

And the result did not disappoint him. The vines suddenly erupted, binding the two tightly, thorns piercing into their flesh with terrifying and deadly toxins injecting into their bodies.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye!

By the time they struggled free from the vines, they were horrified to find their Mana depleting rapidly, as if a wooden basin with a large hole was draining away. In just a few breaths, they had lost much of their Mana.

”Big brother, weʼve been poisoned!” Their faces turned pale, and after barely managing to muster a defense, they shouted for help in panic.

”Damn!” Upon hearing their cries for help, Zhang Da burst forth with a powerful killing move, forcing Xiaoqing back, and in that gap, rushed to the twoʼs side, hoping to save them.

But as he used his Mana to probe their bodies, his expression changed drastically; the Mana was completely depleted the moment it entered!

”What kind of Spiritual Poison is this, so terrifying!”

His question, naturally, went unanswered.

Li Zhirui now only wanted to seize the opportunity to secure victory!

With a thought, two True Dragons sped toward Zhang Da, who knew Li Zhirui was extraordinarily powerful, especially with the Spiritual Poison inside the two men; he dared not underestimate him.

But he still underestimated Li Zhiruiʼs slyness. As the True Dragons drew close, they suddenly self-destructed!

The force of the explosion was no less destructive than the previous shockwaves,

Bang!

With little preparation, Zhang Da was sent flying, his body like a rag doll, his chest stained with blood, coughing violently.

”Your Excellency really does have some impressive methods!” It sounded like praise for Li Zhirui, but the tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

”The victor is king, and the loser a bandit. Your Excellency should know this, why bother with such pitiful words?”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhiruiʼs attack was launched once again, heading straight for Zhang Da.

Zhang Da, already gravely injured, was left barely clinging to life after this strike, nearly breathless.

”Big brother!” The two Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivators, seeing this scene, were filled with regret and fear. It was because of them that Zhang Da had ended up in such a state, and without any surprises, it wouldnʼt be long before they followed in his footsteps!

”Get out of my way!” Just as Li Zhirui was about to make a move to end Zhang Daʼs life, a furious roar erupted from beside him.

It was another Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, seeing Zhang Daʼs life hanging by a thread and knowing that if the struggle continued, he would likely end up the same. He burst forth with his power, trying to break away.

Li Zhirui merely glanced once, then withdrew his gaze, because he knew that man had no chance of escaping!

Although Da Qing and Xiaoqingʼs cultivation was not as advanced as his, if the two worked together, it was nearly impossible for a Cultivator in the Golden Core Late Stage to escape!

”Big brother, run! Weʼll hold him off for you!” That person planned to abandon the three of them and escape alone. Here, two Cultivators in the Middle Golden Core Stage were willing to sacrifice their own lives to allow Zhang Da to survive.

Confronted with such a touching scene, Li Zhiruiʼs expression didnʼt waver in the slightest, his actions remained ruthless and decisive, not giving any of them a chance to escape.

Facing the three with little combat power, Li Zhirui still did not relax at all, launching attacks while ensuring his own safety.

”Fellow Daoist, you are truly cautious! This time, our defeat is not unjust!” Zhang Daʼs bitter voice rang out. The original near death Zhang Daʼs internal injuries were quickly healing, he was using a Secret Technique, preparing for a fight to the death with Li Zhirui!

If they won, they still had a chance to survive; if they lost, they would all be buried here!

But the final outcome did not go as Zhang Da wished; his attack was easily blocked by Li Zhirui.

”Fellow Daoist, if you are reincarnated and take the path of Immortal Tao again, remember not to be too greedy!” While Li Zhirui reminded Zhang Da, was he not also admonishing himself?

Killing them didnʼt take long; in just an instant, their heads were separated from their bodies.

Li Zhirui was in no hurry to clean up the battlefield, for there was still one person left!

”Senior, I beg you to spare me, I didnʼt want to come from the beginning, it was all Zhang Da who forced me, please! As long as you are willing to spare my life, even if I must become a cattle or a horse, a slave or a servant, I am willing!” Seeing Li Zhirui approaching, the personʼs soul was greatly frightened, instantly losing the will to fight, crying and begging for mercy.

”You look so ugly, too hideous to witness!” A flicker of disgust passed in Li Zhiruiʼs eyes, for these were the kind of people he despised the most, how could he possibly let him go?

With a swift motion of the hand, the blade fell, and the already terrified Cultivator, despite being in the Golden Core Late Stage, was quickly disposed of.

”Itʼs been hard on you; you guys go back and rest first.” Li Zhirui arrived beside Da Qing and Xiaoqing, who had nearly depleted their mana in their attempt to stall the man.

”Hmm, be careful. Although there are no Cultivators nearby, the commotion from the fight might draw attention.” Da Qing cautioned.

”I understand, donʼt worry!” Li Zhirui waved his hand, pulling the two back into the space, while he quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

The bodies of the four were burned to ashes, to prevent falling into the hands of Demon Cultivators and being used as Artifact Refining materials. Their storage rings and various Magic Artifacts naturally became Li Zhiruiʼs to claim.

After discerning his current location, Li Zhirui once again set out on his journey to gather Spirit Materials and Spiritual Objects.

On the road, Li Zhirui checked the storage rings of the four and a flicker of surprise crossed his face; he hadnʼt expected their possessions to be so substantial!

Two third-rank top-grade Magical Treasures, several fourth-rank Spirit Materials, and also two to three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Amongst them, the most precious was a Spiritual Medicine that could assist in the Nascent Soul transformation, the Mysterious Spiritual Heavenly Fruit!

This Spiritual Medicine could hasten the speed of transforming from Golden Core to Nascent Soul without the risk of unstable foundations, a very precious Spiritual Medicine indeed. He wondered how they had obtained it.

Perhaps because this time, all his misfortune had been exhausted, Li Zhirui did not encounter any more Cultivator attacks when purchasing Spiritual Objects afterward, which delighted him, as he truly did not want to engage in battles and fights with others.

If anything unexpected happened, not to mention dying, but even just getting injured would waste a great deal of his cultivation time, which was unacceptable to Li Zhirui.
