When Cao Xing caught up with Hong Kaiyuan, he saw that Hong Kaiyuan was bathed in golden light.
He was naked, sitting cross-legged, and exuded an aura of peace.
What is he doing?
Seeing this, Cao Xing dared not approach rashly, fearing that this guy would eventually fight to the death.
wrong!
Soon Cao Xing sensed something was wrong. He saw Hong Kaiyuan exhaling rich true qi with each breath. This true qi condensed around his body and eventually gathered at the top of his head to form three qi balls, which were then poured into his body through the Baihui acupoint.
With each cycle of energy circulation, one's own aura becomes more concentrated.
Three flowers gather at the top, five energies converge at the origin! Is this guy about to form a core?
Cao Xing was stunned; for a moment, he couldn't understand his senior brother at all.
Are you trying to force your way through and then turn the tables on me?
That doesn't make sense. If you want to break through, you should at least find a place to hide first. You're sitting here naked, trying to break through. What kind of operation is that?
At this moment, Hong Kaiyuan's aura became increasingly powerful, and the true energy above his head was suddenly drawn into his body.
Oh no! If this drags on any longer, he might actually succeed.
Seeing this, Cao Xing no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to take action.
But just as Cao Xing tried to get closer to Hong Kaiyuan, a barrage of comments popped up in front of him.
[WARNING: Valuable assets, keep away!]
At the same time, Cao Xing discovered that 100 taels of his gold had been deducted, which startled him so much that he immediately stopped.
I just got close, and you deducted 100 taels from my account? You're so greedy!
Cao Xing cursed under his breath, but when he looked at Hong Kaiyuan again, his expression became strange.
Valuable assets?
What does this mean?
Clearly, the hundred taels of silver was just a warning. If he really got close to Hong Kaiyuan, or even killed him, the amount deducted would probably be much more than just a hundred taels.
"call!!!"
A gust of wind rose from the ground, and Hong Kaiyuan slowly opened his eyes. His expression was peaceful, and a smile played on his lips. His aura was completely different from before.
His gaze immediately locked onto Cao Xing, who was hiding in the woods. His face was completely devoid of any murderous intent, and his kind and benevolent appearance made Cao Xing feel increasingly uneasy. Although his face was kind and approachable, his eyes revealed a chilling aura.
Hong Kaiyuan tried to open his mouth wide, but after his lips trembled a few times, his body suddenly shook violently. A golden thread shot out from between his eyebrows, connecting with the strands of golden threads in the sky. Then, Hong Kaiyuan's body turned into specks of golden light in front of Cao Xing.
Looking at the disintegrating body, Hong Kaiyuan looked up at Cao Xing, his eyes filled with helplessness and hatred, but not directed at Cao Xing.
The victor is king, the loser is villain; he can afford to lose.
This time, however, he inexplicably lost everything.
Their eyes met, and Hong Kaiyuan was unable to utter a single word, completely vanishing in front of Cao Xing.
He died?
Cao Xing looked at the vanished Hong Kaiyuan, equally filled with doubt.
He stared at the golden thread. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was sure it hadn't turned into a god. Cao Xing even suspected that it might not even have left behind a wisp of its soul.
Could this be related to the Three Gods, Xin Tianjun?
Just as Cao Xing was at a loss, Bixia had already caught up with him carrying the corpse.
"younger brother!"
Bixia threw the bodies on the ground, walked to Cao Xing's side, and handed him the things she had looted from the two corpses.
After all, they were disciples who were going to participate in the competition for incense, so they naturally had a lot of good stuff on them.
The four magical artifacts were all of excellent quality, but what puzzled Cao Xing was that he found a mid-grade magical artifact, the Pure Yang Qiankun Bracelet, in Xia Cheng's corpse.
This bracelet was clearly no ordinary object. After fiddling with it for a while, Cao Xing roughly figured out its effect. It should stimulate one's own pure yang energy and unleash considerable power. The stronger one's own pure yang energy, the higher the power.
Logically speaking, if Xia Cheng had used this item earlier, Bixia would definitely not have gained any advantage. But for some reason, Xia Cheng never used it before he died, which is quite strange.
Regardless, now that the item was in his hands, Cao Xing didn't bother to think about Xia Cheng's thoughts.
The Great Art of Enlightenment from the Netherworld!
Cao Xing pointed his finger at the corpses of Xia Cheng and Zhao Jing, and their souls were instantly drawn out of their bodies.
"Spare me—"
"go!"
Before the two could speak, Cao Xing's brow flashed, and his Pure Yuan Yin Spirit flew out, opening its large hand and slapping down, instantly shattering the two souls.
Besides the most magical artifacts and talismans, there were three Thunder Talismans, six Southern Dipper Life-Gathering Talismans, eight Spirit Gathering Talismans, and ten Cloud Soaring Talismans.
These talismans are all valuable items. Cao Xing had visited the Treasure Talisman Palace before, and the cinnabar and ink were ridiculously expensive, not to mention the finished talismans.
Cao Xing roughly calculated that these talismans alone would be worth at least five thousand taels of silver.
In addition, there are some high-grade spiritual pills and healing pills, which are also quite expensive.
There were also some loose silver notes, but not many; the two of them together had only a little over two thousand taels of silver.
It's just a pity.
Cao Xing searched around Hong Kaiyuan, but apart from the Taoist robe, there were no magical artifacts, pills, talismans, or anything else left.
While Cao Xing was still sighing, Bixia had already started sucking hard on the two corpses.
The two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, whose cultivation was no less than Li Jing's, had their spiritual energy drained by Bixia. After Bixia drained them, she emitted a dense blood-red light. After a moment, she forcibly suppressed the restless blood energy on her body and said to Cao Xing, "Brother! I need to go into seclusion."
"good!"
Cao Xing put away his things and used the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique. Instantly, the surrounding soil churned, and a dense earthy aura gathered around Cao Xing, transforming into an earth dragon.
This earthen dragon was not a physical entity, but it was connected to the surrounding rocks and soil. With a flick of its tail, a crack appeared in the ground, directly pulling Xia Cheng and Zhao Jing's corpses underground.
Consumption - 20
They're going to deduct money for this?? Disgusting.
Cao Xing cursed inwardly, then his dragon body coiled up, and he quickly left with Bixia.
With the help of the earth dragon's energy, Cao Xing's speed in the mountains and forests was ridiculously fast, and he fled far away with Bixia in an instant.
The two continued their journey deep into the forest until they found a cave. Cao Xing then instructed Bixia to enter seclusion inside the cave, while he took the opportunity to rest. He took out a pill to restore his true energy and swallowed it in one gulp. He then sat cross-legged and began to review the many details of the operation in his mind.
I was able to kill three people so easily thanks to the support of my main account.
With the help of the large account, I was able to detect the three people lying in ambush behind me in advance. If it were anyone else, facing the siege of three Foundation Establishment experts without any preparation, they would probably be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
Despite having the upper hand, Hong Kaiyuan still nearly escaped, which was a huge mistake.
Cao Xing carefully reviewed the situation and found that although the Golden Light Ring was effective, it was only good at close range. Once the opponent was far away, it became difficult to achieve the desired effect.
There's also the Golden and Silver Hands, which, while possessing the ability to break through armor and destroy magic, still leans towards close-quarters combat.
It seems I'm lacking a suitable long-range weapon.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing took out another item from his pocket: the Azure Gold Ruyi, which shimmered with an unusual light.
It's time to hurry up and refine this magical artifact.
