Chapter 390: Chapter 303: Thunderbolt Methods

Chen Geng didn’t know what the three men were thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared in the slightest.

As for the Lower-Tier Cultivators of the Dark Stream whom he had devoured and killed, Chen Geng couldn’t care less. To him, becoming a part of his cultivation made their deaths worthwhile.

Traitors to the Dark Stream deserve to die.

"Oh, right," Chen Geng said, looking up after a moment of thought. "Has there been any activity over at the Yu Family’s residence these past few days? No one else has gone in or out, have they?"

"No." Wang Guorong, one of the three, shook his head and spoke softly. "We’ve been keeping them under constant surveillance. There’s been no activity."

"Good," Chen Geng nodded and continued, "Keep watching them. Report the slightest disturbance to me immediately. This Yu Changsheng of the Yu Family is a genius disciple of the Wanxiang Sect. If necessary..."

At that, Chen Geng paused, his gaze turning icy. But before he could finish his sentence, an eerie voice drifted in from outside the door.

"If necessary... what, exactly, were you going to do?"

"Hmph?!! Who’s there?!"

Chen Geng was instantly on high alert, every hair on his body standing on end. He whipped his head toward the door.

BANG!

The next instant, the door was violently kicked open. Yu Changsheng’s silhouette appeared in the doorway. In the dark of night, his face was obscured, but the fury blazing in his eyes was unmistakable.

"Yu Changsheng?! How is this possible?! When did you get here? How did I not sense you at all!"

Chen Geng leaped to his feet, crying out sharply as beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Save that question for your next life."

Yu Changsheng spoke flatly, his cold gaze sweeping over the three Foundation Establishment cultivators before finally locking onto Chen Geng.

"Heh," Chen Geng sneered. He took a deep breath and stared at Yu Changsheng, a sinister glint flickering in his eyes as killing intent radiated from him. Having recovered from his initial panic, he spoke in a cold voice.

"I don’t know how you got here, but since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, walking right into a death trap, you’ve saved me the trouble. After all, your Wanxiang Sect has been relentlessly hunting my Dark Stream members. I suppose it’s time I took your head and made an example of you."

Despite his words, however, he was on maximum alert, not daring to relax for even a moment. He planned to test Yu Changsheng’s strength first, so he shot the other three men a look and said nonchalantly,

"He’s just one Foundation Establishment cultivator. Don’t tell me the three of you can’t take him down."

Hearing this, Wang Guorong cursed inwardly. He looked up at Yu Changsheng, feeling helpless and bitter, but he dared not let any of it show on his face. He exchanged a glance with the two men beside him, rose to his feet, and addressed Yu Changsheng coldly:

"So, you’re Yu Changsheng? Since our lord has spoken, we can’t let you live."

"Is that so?" Yu Changsheng chuckled lightly. With a soft clap of his hands, he withdrew the Divine Sense that had been concealing Li Minghan and Zhang Tianwen. Instantly, the two of them materialized from behind Yu Changsheng, taking two steps forward to stand before the three men.

"Three Foundation Establishment cultivators. No problem, right?"

Yu Changsheng asked, looking at Li Minghan and Zhang Tianwen.

"No problem. It’s a good chance to warm up. We’ve killed a Golden Core expert before, let alone a few at the Foundation Establishment realm."

Zhang Tianwen replied, turning back to flash a grin and give Yu Changsheng a reassuring look.

"That’s good."

Yu Changsheng nodded, not overly concerned. The strongest of the three opponents was only at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. For Li Minghan and Zhang Tianwen, even a two-on-three fight would be well within their capabilities, so he didn’t worry.

"Such confidence."

Chen Geng’s brow furrowed. With a low growl, he shot upward in an instant, blasting through the roof to hover in the night sky, staring down coldly at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng shook his head with a smile, his aura locking completely onto Chen Geng. With a single step into the air, he too ascended, rising to meet his opponent. His immense Divine Sense surged forward, pressing down on Chen Geng. At the same time, his body suddenly seemed to swell, and an astonishing wave of vital energy radiated out, rippling through the void.

’A Golden Core-level physical body and Divine Sense... So this is the source of your confidence...’ Chen Geng’s brow knitted tightly as he stared at Yu Changsheng, his expression growing grave and the wariness in his eyes intensifying.

’Peak of Early-Stage Golden Core, just a hair’s breadth from the Middle Stage... It seems this guy has used some special method to boost his cultivation significantly in a short amount of time...’

Yu Changsheng’s brow also furrowed. Sensing the slightly unstable aura of Chen Geng’s cultivation, a guess formed in his mind. With a wave of his sleeve, the Profound Turtle materialized beside him, hovering in the void to face off against Chen Geng from afar. Their invisible auras continued to swell, slowly coalescing in the night sky into two Heaven-reaching tempests that instantly alarmed the entirety of Bright Moon City.

’For a battle of this caliber, his other Spirit Beasts would struggle to keep up. Summoning the Profound Turtle alone was obviously the more suitable choice.’

Countless gazes were drawn to the sky, and gasps of shock and disbelief echoed throughout the city.

"Is that... the Golden Core realm?! Two Golden Core experts in a small place like Bright Moon City? Are you kidding me?"

"Judging by the direction, it seems to be coming from the Yu Family estate. Since when does the Yu Family have a Golden Core expert? What is going on?"

The various factions in Bright Moon City erupted in discussion. They could only speculate wildly amongst themselves, too afraid to approach rashly and resigned to observing from the shadows.

For a city like Bright Moon City, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator was a rare sight. A Golden Core Expert was an almost mythical, untouchable existence, and so they all watched with reverence and fear.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire city, the battle involving Li Minghan and Zhang Tianwen erupted on the ground below. At the same moment, Yu Changsheng also exploded into motion. As his vital energy surged, veins bulged on his arms. A great sun materialized behind him, blazing brightly in the night sky before slowly condensing and merging into his fist.
