Chapter 419: Chapter 417: Slaying the Foundation Establishment (Part 1)

Pan City.

In the center, a large mansion was ablaze, flames soaring to the sky, thick smoke billowing, and the ’crackling’ sound of explosions was incessant.

“What is happening, what is going on?”

“I remember this family; they moved here just a few years ago and have always been extremely low-key. Could it be that old enemies have found them?”

The townsfolk gathered around to watch, whispering and discussing, but soon a group of soldiers arrived to disperse them, preventing them from getting closer.

Leading them was a middle-aged man, dressed in a red official robe, his appearance stern and dignified.

Looking at the blazing mansion not far away, his face involuntarily showed traces of anger and doubt.

“Immortal Master Qiao, are you certain the attackers have profound cultivation and can’t be fought head-on?”

Beside him, an old man with long beard dressed in a blue Daoist robe sighed; “City Lord, you’ve known me, old Qiao, for decades. Have I ever lied?

This Wang family that recently moved here, I’ve visited them long ago; they are full of hidden talents!

There are two or three late-stage Qi Refining practitioners alone, and likely more than ten middle-stage Qi Refining ones… such a large family was so easily annihilated. The cultivator’s prowess must be unimaginable.’”

As the two were chatting, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked up towards the sky.

There emerged a dense black light, hovering over the mansion where the strange event occurred.

As the light faded, it was revealed to be a flying magical artifact shaped like a banana leaf, about the size of a small boat.

A figure stood on it, clothed in a black robe, its presence vast and overwhelming.

Even from a distance, it felt as if their breathing was suppressed and difficult.

“Foundation Establishment, is it a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator?”

“Quick, have everyone move even farther away!” The City Lord’s face changed drastically as he hurriedly ordered.

In the sky, on the banana leaf.

Elder Wang gazed down at the nearly ruins-like mansion, his face dark and gloomy, emanating a strong murderous intent.

“Who exactly?!”

Divine Sense radiated downwards, carefully searching the ruins for any signs of life.

Simultaneously, Elder Wang slapped the corpse storage bag at his waist, and a silver light shot out, landing on the ground, transforming into a tall figure covered in red silver.

Approximately a zhang tall, its body surface shimmered with faint silver light, hairless and browless, and was engraved with numerous intricate black lines that seemed to swim about constantly.

Its eyes were emerald green, seemingly flickering with flame, glowing with wisdom.

Silver Corpse, the highest realm a lifebound corpse of the Corpse-Driving Sect can achieve.

Endowed with myriad supernatural abilities, not only proficient in techniques, it can also fly briefly, and can act autonomously without its master.

Many newly promoted Foundation Establishment Elders often have lifebound corpses not reaching the silver corpse level.

’Bang bang!’

The silver corpse’s strength is naturally astounding.

Numerous stone blocks larger than millstones were effortlessly moved aside in its hands, revealing the scene beneath the ruins.

Meanwhile, Elder Wang, floated in the air, without any intention of descending.

’This old dog is truly cautious.’

Lou Yi, hidden in the dark, shook his head.

Knowing the ambush plan to trap and kill Elder Wang subtly was infeasible.

Some of his methods, like the nine-palace array embedded underground in advance, seemed tough to implement.

So be it, when experts clash, it’s never entirely according to one’s plan; today seems destined to be a hard fight.

When the silver corpse reached a certain spot above the ruins, after moving a stone.

’Boom!’

With a sharp explosion sound, its body was sent flying backward abruptly.

Crashing through over a dozen ruined walls, it finally stopped.

Yet its extremely sturdy chest, bearing five plum blossom marks, was deeply sunken and took a long time to recover.

Suffering severe impact, though not completely broken, the silver corpse struggled to rise and lost its combat capability.

The next moment, an ordinary-looking man appeared where the silver corpse was originally standing.

In the sky, Elder Wang stood on the banana leaf magical artifact, his eyes shooting fierce cold light.

“My silver corpse, though having the lowest aptitude among peers, possesses pure strength nearing two hundred thousand jin. In your hands, it’s utterly defeated.”

“The body cultivator who ambushed me that day; it must be you.”

After Elder Wang spoke, the man below indeed showed traces of astonishment.

“What grudge do we have? Why do you slaughter my kin!” Elder Wang’s face was cold, eyes fixed fiercely on Lou Yi, “In the cultivation realm, it’s often said ’vengeance doesn’t extend to family’.

Even if you have deep enmity with me, come to find me personally. Why involve the innocent?”

While speaking, Elder Wang continued controlling the banana leaf magical artifact, ascending several dozen zhang higher, clearly guarding against a close-range attack by the body cultivator.

Seeing Elder Wang speak with such righteousness, Lou Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

Typical, truly typical.

His family members are family, but my loved ones aren’t even people?

Thinking of this, Lou Yi laid aside further nonsense, raising his right hand, opening his five fingers, prepared to confront the old rogue that has pressured him for long.

Today, compared to when he just emerged from the Ancient Cultivator’s Secret Realm, his strength stands vastly different.

Facing Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lou Yi no longer fears.

One can only know if the fight can be won after trying!

Seeing Elder Wang’s sleeves flicker with black light.

Four black array flags, radiating brilliant light, flew into the sky.

Slowly rotated in the air, with a faintly visible translucent barrier connecting each flag.

Then, these four black array flags ’zoomed’ rapidly towards Lou Yi!

“Hmm?”

Lou Yi’s figure disappeared from the spot, almost turning into a mirage.

The terrifying speed surpassing sound prevented the flags from enclosing him temporarily.

’This body cultivator is so troublesome?’

Seeing this, Elder Wang’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light.

’Poof!’

A mouthful of essence blood spat out, the flags’ speed suddenly multiplied by several times, instantly trapping Lou Yi within.

After spitting essence blood, Elder Wang’s face turned several shades paler.

In an instant, the four array flags radiated intensely, forming a giant cubic black cage, tightly imprisoning Lou Yi within.

“This body cultivator is doomed.” In the distance, the blue-robed elder watching the battle shook his head.

“Why? I noticed this body cultivator’s strength is impressive; even the silver corpse isn’t its match.” The City Lord asked in surprise.

“Body cultivators refine their bodies into magic treasures; once spiritual power depletes, their defense abilities drastically weaken.” The elder referred to as ’Immortal Master Qiao’ gently stroked his beard and smiled, “Fighting against him is Elder Wang Hongyue of Corpse-Driving Sect.

His Four Directions Fiend Prison, fiendish aura and grievances nearly endless, this can grind away the body cultivator’s spiritual essence.

And once his spiritual power is exhausted, he’ll be like a lamb to the slaughter…”

At this time, Lou Yi was trapped in the cubic cage.

Blind due to darkness, senses severely blocked, while countless terrifying ghost faces, hands, blood shadows floated around, fiendish aura permeating.

“Kill him!”

Inside Four Directions Fiend Prison, Lou Yi vaguely heard Elder Wang’s cold shout.

…
