Chapter 644 -309: Hammer You to Death

The five of them froze in unison!

In the next moment, their expressions turned incredibly complex. They all looked at the newcomer with disdain, as if staring at an idiot!

Fighting, robbing, and killing within a cultivation cave were commonplace—an unspoken rule of the Jianghu that everyone tacitly accepted.

Whoever had greater Martial Arts Power seized resources and survived. Those who were weaker could only blame their own lack of skill if they were killed and looted!

But for one person to try and rob five? That was the most absurd thing they had ever heard—completely unprecedented!

After all, anyone who dared to enter a cultivation cave in search of opportunities was powerful and relied on various Treasure Artifacts, Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts, or even Spiritual Artifacts.

Even if defeated in a one-on-one fight, most could escape with their lives and wouldn’t be killed so easily.

A stronger expert might be able to defeat two opponents at once, which was already quite rare. A record of one against three was practically unheard of.

In the past few decades, only Ji Lingxiao—ranked second on the Earth List and wielder of the Profound Tier Spiritual Artifact, the Lingxiao Sword—had ever managed to defeat three opponents at once in a cave, killing three Blood Moon Sect Stewards who all possessed Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts.

But those in the know were all aware that even with the Lingxiao Sword, Ji Lingxiao had severely depleted his Primordial Qi after that battle and had almost failed to secure the Array Hub.

In other words, even for someone like Ji Lingxiao with his Profound Tier Spiritual Artifact, the Lingxiao Sword, fighting three opponents at once was more or less his limit.

Facing four, he might not have been able to win, let alone five!

And yet, this black-clad, masked man before them had just announced his intention to rob all five of them by himself!

And his targets weren’t just some ordinary Jianghu Wanderers at Organ Refining Realm Perfection!

They were three from the Taiyi Sect and two from the Blood Moon Sect!

As a True Disciple of the Taiyi Sect, Nangong Yi’s Martial Arts Power might rank low among the Taiyi Nine Sons, but with his Pseudo-Spiritual Sword, his combat prowess far surpassed that of an ordinary Major Sect Steward.

Nine Palace Divine Calculation Shi Liangcai wasn’t just skilled in Taiyi Numerology; with his Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact, the Taiyi Nine Palace Divination Disc, his combat power was even greater than Nangong Yi’s.

Though Pan Yi’s Martial Arts Power was weaker, when he formed the Three Talents Battle Array with Nangong Yi and Shi Liangcai, they could unleash its full power!

It was no exaggeration to say that if the three of them formed the Three Talents Battle Array, they could even put up a fight against Ji Lingxiao.

As for the two Blood Moon Sect Stewards, Ghostly Sorrow Duan Shen and Life-taking Sword Ling Aqi, both were long-famous figures whose Martial Arts Power could not be underestimated. Individually, neither was weaker than Shi Liangcai.

Working together, they could form their own Slaughter Battle Array, one that wasn’t necessarily weaker than the Three Talents Battle Array of Shi Liangcai’s group.

The five of them combined possessed enough power to easily crush any single person who had entered the cave.

That included Ji Lingxiao, Ning Hao, and even the two Innate Realm Experts who had entered; none of them could possibly match their combined strength alone.

If this black-clad, masked man wasn’t a complete moron, he had to have backup!

At this thought, the five of them carefully scanned their surroundings again. However, their senses revealed no one else within a radius of several hundred zhang.

Shi Liangcai poured his full power into the Taiyi Nine Palace Divination Disc in his hand, causing it to erupt in a pale green glow, yet he still couldn’t sense the aura of any other experts nearby.

He gave a slight nod to Nangong Yi and Pan Yi. All three of them visibly relaxed and turned their attention back to the menacing, black-clad man shouldering a large hammer.

The black-clad, masked man was, of course, Chen Cheng.

During his routine patrol of Lake Heart Island, Chen Cheng had spotted these five and made up his mind to take them all out in one go to save himself the trouble!

“You want to rob the five of us? Have you lost your mind?”

Nangong Yi said mockingly, his hand resting on the hilt of the longsword at his waist.

This black-clad man was clearly delusional and couldn’t grasp the situation. He wouldn’t mind taking him out personally.

Since a fight was inevitable, Chen Cheng didn’t want to waste any more words. He casually raised the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer and said coolly,

“I was kind enough to spare your lives, but you lot just don’t know what’s good for you!

In that case, don’t blame me for…”

Before he could finish, a beam of sword light pulsing with intense killing intent suddenly shot toward him!

The sword light was incredibly condensed, striking like a viper’s tongue with a sinister, unpredictable killing aura that was impossible to guard against.

In a mere instant, it crossed several zhang and appeared right before Chen Cheng.

The one who attacked was none other than Life-taking Sword Ling Aqi, who had been silent the entire time!

When he took a life, he never wasted time on words!

‘Hah! My mistake,’ Chen Cheng thought to himself, swinging his Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer to smash into the sword light!

In an instant, thunderous light exploded with overwhelming might!

It was none other than a move from the Thunderous Nine Heavens Hammer Technique!

BOOM!

With a single strike of the hammer, the sword light was easily extinguished!

Ling Aqi’s figure blurred into an afterimage, narrowly dodging the Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer. When he reappeared, he was already beside Duan Shen.

His face was filled with horror. “You really do have something to back you up!” he said, his voice grim.

The others also turned pale with fright!

Shi Liangcai spoke with a hint of dread, “It seems you haven’t even cultivated Primordial Gang True Force, yet you can unleash such power with just a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact hammer.

To have such strength, you can’t be some nobody. Who exactly are you?”

As he spoke, he brandished his Taiyi Nine Palace Divination Disc and subtly shifted into a defensive posture, forming the Three Talents Battle Array with Nangong Yi and Pan Yi.

Chen Cheng had already been caught posturing once; why would he waste any more time talking to them?

Thunder Arcs flickered beneath his feet. His figure, like a descending god of thunder, flashed and appeared before the three of them.

The Military Dao Combat Killing Hammer in his hands, imbued with savage and violent power, came crashing down!

The second strike: Vibrate and Shock the Eight Desolates!

Shi Liangcai’s trio was already prepared. The Taiyi Nine Palace Divination Disc in Shi Liangcai’s hand bloomed with light, Nangong Yi’s Pseudo-Spiritual Sword trembled violently, and Pan Yi also swung his longsword, unleashing ripples of power.
