My Master Knows It All

Xia Congyun is also not using the Golden Core anymore?

The surrounding crowds quickly realized this, and in an instant, the cultivators from the Eastern Border began to cheer again.

“Not only does Immortal Xia not use the Golden Core, but I also won’t use the Golden Core; I won’t take advantage of you!”

“This is Immortal Xia’s pride, this is her confidence and courage!”

“The intention of Immortal Xia is clear—she can defeat you without using the Golden Core!”

Cao Zhen immediately laughed.

“This is interesting.

Not using the Golden Core doesn’t really matter; it was my own choice not to use it, but you can unleash yours.”

However, Xia Congyun did not respond to him.

Instead, her gaze sharpened as she looked over.

At the same time, mana surged around her, and as the mana flowed, the air behind her visibly shook.

“See, this is Immortal Xia.

Even without using the Golden Core, the flow of her mana can shake the air, something only a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage can achieve.”

“Immortal Xia has made her move!”

Xia Congyun originally intended for her opponent to strike first, but seeing that he had no intention of doing so, she no longer waited.

Slowly, the silhouette of a bull emerged behind her.

This bull was all a dark blue-green color, without horns, and with only one hoof.

As the colossal shadow of the bull materialized, dark clouds appeared overhead, and the entire sky seemed to darken.

Yet, strikingly, the bull’s body radiated dazzling light, resplendent as the sun and moon.

The legendary Ancient Beast, Kui!

The next moment, a tremendous roar resonated, echoing all around, and the shadow of the Kui bull charged forward.

At the same time, the world around them suddenly reverberated with the sound of a mighty eagle flapping its wings.

The howling wind arose, picking up pieces of earth shattered from the previous battle and blowing them all toward Cao Zhen.

At the same time, from the dark clouds above, endless rain poured down.

The dense rain, however, solely covered the vicinity around Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen felt the rain fall upon him, feeling just like ordinary water with no special properties.

Yet, when it landed on the ground, the earth beneath his feet instantly turned muddy, as if countless hands within the mud were gripping his feet, preventing him from moving an inch.

Cao Zhen exerted a little force, and the mud loosened slightly under his feet.

The binding force was indeed strong, but it was not enough to prevent him from moving; still, he chose not to move, wanting to test his opponent’s methods.

Before him, the swirling winds had already gathered and quickly formed another huge Kui bull shadow.

Even without releasing the Golden Core, Xia Congyun’s shadow gave a solid impression, as if a real Kui bull were charging at him head-on.

As the Kui bull landed on one foot, it leaped forward, each of its steps causing the ground to tremble profoundly.

In an instant, it was right in front of Cao Zhen and hurtled toward him, filling the void with immense primeval power.

As the Kui bull shadow was about to hit Cao Zhen, a potent and dense aura burst forth from within him.

His black hair billowed, and he suddenly swung his arm forward, palm striking out.

The next moment, his palm contacted the Kui bull shadow.

At the moment of contact, a gigantic palm shadow suddenly appeared on his palm, shading the heaven as if covering the entire sky.

Cao Zhen, too, had not unleashed his Golden Core, yet the impact of his palm seemed to turn the entire heaven upside down.

The massive Kui bull shadow shattered under this palm.

“This…”

The cultivators from the Eastern Border surrounding them, seeing that palm fall, were greatly shocked.

“The Empty Palm Seal is a very common Divine Skill, but his version seems different, incorporating his own physical strength within it.”

“This palm of his—I’m already at the Second Layer of the Golden Core, but why do I feel that even with my full power, using the Empty Palm Seal couldn’t be this terrifying?”

“He has refined the Empty Palm Seal to its utmost limit!”

“Such a powerful strike!

This person, within the Nine Abnormal Phenomemon Golden Pills, must also be a top existence!”

With just one palm, the crowd could judge the terror of the person before them, yet they still believed that Xia Congyun would be victorious, no one at the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core could defeat Xia Congyun.

Xia Congyun’s attack was effortlessly shattered, and her expression instantly grew solemn, meanwhile, a faint anger seemed to flicker between her brows.

To easily shatter her attack also meant that he could easily escape from the muddy earth at his feet, but he had not done so, clearly belittling her.

Since she began her cultivation, from the first day, she had been praised as a prodigy.

As time passed and her cultivation speed increased, such praises had only grown.

This was the first time she encountered someone who looked down on her.

Xia Congyun’s expression chilled, and she suddenly charged forward, almost reaching Cao Zhen.

In her hand appeared a silver long blade, and at that moment, a crisp slicing sound broke through the void.
