Chapter 382: Four People Join Forces, Suspense Remains
Just as Master Qian's offensive was becoming increasingly chaotic and he was starting to feel powerless, three streaks of light suddenly appeared in the sky, flying rapidly and arriving in an instant.
The arrival of the three Golden Core cultivators instantly changed the situation in the game.
"Junior Brother Qian, what exactly happened that made you so upset?" One of the Golden Core cultivators asked, his brows furrowed.
His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, fell upon Chu Lengyu, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
Activating the market formation not only consumes a lot of resources, but may also cause panic among independent cultivators and create unnecessary trouble.
He believed that Qian Zhenren would not act so rashly without sufficient reason.
When Master Qian saw the three familiar figures, he immediately felt at ease.
He flashed backward and quickly retreated, standing shoulder to shoulder with the three Golden Core cultivators.
With an urgent expression, he quickly used telepathy to inform the other three Golden Core cultivators who had arrived in detail about the whole affair.
Then, he said indignantly, "This woman is extremely arrogant. Not only did she openly kill a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion in the market, but she also treated our enforcement team as nothing and acted arrogantly. We must join forces to take her down and uphold the prestige of the Hundred Swords Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this telepathic message, the three Golden Core cultivators' expressions changed slightly, and a solemn look appeared between their brows.
The murder of a disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion in the marketplace is no small matter, especially since the murdered person was the disciple of a Nascent Soul Elder. If the Elder were to hold them accountable, they would be in grave danger.
Their gazes all fell on Chu Lengyu, as if they wanted to see right through her.
“Fellow Daoist, if you continue to be obstinate and refuse to surrender, then the four of us will have no choice but to join forces to subdue you,” said the leader, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, in a loud voice.
The cultivation world doesn't have that many rules and regulations, especially since this happened in a market under their sect's protection. Even if it was four against one, no one would dare to raise any objections.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu's figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment, he appeared in mid-air, facing off against the four Golden Core cultivators.
"Then come on, let me see just how much this Golden Core cultivator from the Hundred Swords Pavilion is worth, and whether she can convince me." Her voice was clear and loud, and she directly announced the challenge, showing her confidence in her own strength.
Upon hearing this provocative remark, the four Golden Core cultivators reacted with varying expressions—some were angry, some were shocked—but none of them said anything more.
There's no way to resolve this peacefully now; the only way to decide the winner is through strength.
So they each unleashed their signature spells, their magic flashing and their sword energy surging, enveloping the entire market town of Misty Cloud Island in the power of the battle.
……
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, the formation had already been activated, and the guests trapped inside were still able to remain calm for the time being.
Manager Hu was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Before Master Qian made his move, he had already hidden in the pavilion like a turtle hiding its head, afraid of being implicated.
At the same time, he was also very worried about the situation outside, so he ordered the maids in the building to use the magic artifacts to perform the Water Mirror Technique.
This pale blue water mirror, like a clear spring or a bright mirror, displays the breathtaking battle scene in the air in real time before everyone's eyes.
Within the water mirror, sword light flashed and spells flew.
The onlookers, gazing at the scene reflected in the water mirror, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "The other True Immortals from the Hundred Swords Pavilion have actually arrived! With their combined efforts, even if that female cultivator had three heads and six arms, she would certainly have no chance of escaping!"
"Look! Master Qian's sword strike is simply unparalleled in power, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, piercing through the air with a single strike. As expected of a Golden Core cultivator from the Hundred Swords Pavilion, if that sword were to fall upon us, we probably wouldn't even have a chance to dodge, and would perish on the spot." A young cultivator said with a face full of admiration, his heart filled with longing for such great power.
“Yes, look at the magic that Master Li used. The world changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. Such power can probably only be unleashed by elite disciples of a sect. The masters of the Hundred Swords Pavilion are indeed all worthy of their reputation. Golden Core cultivators of the same level are hard to match in front of them,” another cultivator chimed in.
A middle-aged cultivator who appeared quite knowledgeable slowly said, "The Hundred Swords Pavilion has been able to stand in this realm for so many years, so naturally it has its own extraordinary abilities. Their strength is far beyond what we can easily fathom. Although this battle seems intense, the outcome is probably already predetermined."
His tone was quite confident.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.
In their view, with four against one, the outcome of the battle was already decided; it was only a matter of time before the masked female cultivator was defeated.
However, time flies, and the battle in mid-air never stopped.
As they looked at the scene in the water mirror, surprise gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
The four Golden Core cultivators coordinated their attacks relentlessly, forming a tight, impenetrable net.
But the mysterious female cultivator moved with the ease of a fish swimming in water, navigating the encirclement with unpredictable movements, always finding a way out of the chaos.
"Huh? Strange, have you all noticed that the female cultivator seems to be completely unharmed?" A sharp-eyed person suddenly exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
“That’s right. Not only was she unharmed, but she also showed no signs of fatigue.” Upon hearing this, another cultivator was also shocked, his tone revealing undisguised astonishment.
"Who exactly is this female cultivator? She remains calm and composed even under the siege of four Golden Core cultivators. She is truly an extraordinary person!" The old cultivator stroked his gray beard, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with doubt and amazement.
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the mysterious female cultivator.
Her identity, her background, and her strength have all become unsolved mysteries in everyone's minds.
As the battle intensified, the mindset of the onlookers also changed.
The initial one-sided sentiment has disappeared, replaced by a complex mix of doubt and amazement.
They began to realize that the outcome of this battle might not be as simple and straightforward as they had initially expected.
"That mysterious female cultivator's strength is probably not just at the Golden Core stage," Senior Sister Zhao said, expressing her thoughts.
Not only her, but many people have realized this now, including the four Golden Core cultivators from the Hundred Swords Pavilion who are currently engaged in combat.
Master Qian originally thought that with the arrival of his three fellow disciples, they would be able to quickly subdue the woman by joining forces.
Unexpectedly, even with four against one, they still couldn't defeat their opponent.
