Chapter 102
Five or six ice spikes rapidly pierced out from the ice wall and in the blink of an eye skewered that man into a blood gourd.This was his battlefield.
The ice coffin prison, formed by exhausting most of his spiritual power, was not only meant to prevent their escape but also gave Wang Yu a significant advantage in battle.
“Old Ninth!”
The burly man with a beard glared ferociously. Two streaks of spiritual light flew out from his waist and landed in his hands, turning into a pair of golden melon hammers each the size of a head.
Judging by his physique, he had likely cultivated some secret arts or techniques of body refinement. Without hesitation, he charged forward at the front.
The others also formed hand seals, casting spiritual prints. Waves of five-element spells surged over: fireballs, earth spikes, water arrows, wood vines, golden blades.
This group indeed had a complex mixture of attributes.
Wang Yu tapped the ice surface with the tip of his toes, rapidly pulling out trails of afterimages. Using the mystery of Illusory Step, he evaded large numbers of spells. With a shake of his figure, he split into ten phantoms.
They spread out in different directions as his hand seals shifted.
Ice Sword Technique: Ox-Hair Needle.
This was the very first perfected spell he had mastered on his path of cultivation. Even though it was only a mid-grade first-rank technique, Wang Yu had long since cultivated it to the point of divine mastery.
From the initial ten swords, to transforming into a hundred small swords, to merging into a giant sword three zhang long, and now innovating once again, transforming into countless crystalline needles as fine as ox hair.
The ten phantoms increased this base quantity tenfold.
The overwhelming hail of ice needles swept down, covering nearly every corner of the ice coffin prison. The ambushers’ expressions grew grim.
They truly had not expected Wang Yu to be this difficult to deal with.
The burly man with the beard swung his golden melon hammers a few times and discovered that most of the ice needles were illusions. He immediately shouted.
“Use wide-range defensive spells. Magical artifacts as well. Most of these are false.”
“Is that so.”
Wang Yu chuckled lightly. The four phantoms standing inverted at the corners of the ice coffin prison shifted their hand seals, raising two fingers to their lips.
Flame Spitting Technique: Cold Flame.
Surging flames abruptly expanded several zhang tall. Four terrifying fireballs completely covered the prison, yet the air grew colder still.
Three people were burned alive, screaming miserably.
“The one at the upper left is real. Attack!”
Two cultivators at Qi Refining ninth layer and Qi Refining eighth layer leapt forward at the same time.
“Golden Hammer Technique.”
“Whirlpool Water Blade.”
The golden melon hammers in the bearded man’s hands suddenly expanded by two circles, crashing down toward Wang Yu’s true body with great momentum. The other man shot out three spiraling water blades while airborne.
This time Wang Yu did not evade. He patted his chest, activating the Black Fiend Armor Pattern.
Soul-Devouring Evil Armor Technique.
Billows of black mist-like ghostly qi surged out, completely covering him. His left arm, the corpse arm of divine strength, thrust forward and collided with the golden hammers.hird of their original price.
Adding the value of the corpses, this single battle brought him more than twenty thousand spirit stones in assets, equivalent to a year’s effort in the past.
“Robbery brings golden belts. The wisdom of the forebears is something we cannot compare to.”
Of course, this was also related to Wang Yu’s own strength. Other cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Refining did not have his power to deal with such a large group of people.
Plundering another’s lifetime accumulation, how could wealth not increase quickly? Especially since the bearded man was clearly saving spirit stones, otherwise such a profit would not have been possible.
After quickly tidying up the battlefield, he chose a flying sword–style flight artifact from the spoils. This item was much faster than the Black Silk and was a basic type of artifact specifically designed for Qi Refining cultivators to use for travel. It was just right for Wang Yu to upgrade his equipment.
Thus.
By the time dawn was breaking, Wang Yu finally arrived at Heart-Erosion City.
This city had a permanent population of several hundred thousand, with cultivators and mortals living together, but with an obvious hierarchy. Many hundred-meter-tall pillars stood in the city.
At the top of each was a square pavilion platform, and almost all the cultivator auras came from within these.
