Cultivation Starting from Choosing Augments

Chapter 510: Chapter 225: Dare to Kill Me, and You Offend Young Master Dai

"Reporting. The three traveling palaces here are empty."

"Captain, my side is empty too. There’s nothing here."

"My side is also empty, just some useless decorations."

Reports quickly came in. Clearly, these Yin Corpse Sect cultivators had arrived too late.

A more perceptive subordinate spotted Xiao Chen, who had yet to leave.

He quickly took a few steps closer and shouted, "Hey! You over there! Did you see who took the things from the traveling palaces?"

As expected, he received no response.

Xiao Chen was busy rearranging the items in his Storage Ring to make them easier to retrieve quickly during Magical Combat. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with these clowns.

’If they really dare to come over and annoy me, I’ll just swat them dead.’

"Are you fucking deaf? I’m talking to you!"

The subordinate was instantly enraged. He stalked several steps closer, his voice rising in volume. "Hey, playing dumb with me, are you?"

"I think you’re fucking tired of living!"

"I’m going to skin you alive today!"

As he spoke, he took out a Flying Sword, but he didn’t attack directly. Instead, he shot a look at two of his nearby companions.

The other two immediately understood. They tacitly drew their own weapons and advanced together.

"Who told you to go over there? Get back here!"

The captain leading them suddenly roared, "Skinny Gou, don’t fucking think I don’t know what you’re up to."

"I’ve got no problem with you trying to make a quick buck, but you need to pick the right time."

"Right now, the most important thing is to complete the mission Young Master Dai gave us as quickly as possible. I don’t have time for you to waste."

"Everyone, follow me to the side halls in the back to search. Move it!"

Hearing this, the surrounding cultivators immediately began to regroup. Skinny Gou’s two friends hesitated for a moment, then also turned to head back.

"Wait, don’t go yet."

Skinny Gou quickly argued, "Captain, you’ve got it wrong! I was just trying to ask about some clues."

’We’ve been in this Relic for two days and haven’t found a single thing. Now we finally run into a lone Loose Cultivator.’

"Bullshit!"

The captain snapped, "One look and you can tell he’s a Loose Cultivator who doesn’t even have a Spiritual Artifact. What fucking clues could he possibly know!"

"Stop dawdling! If you delay the Young Master’s important business, can you bear that responsibility?"

Skinny Gou glanced regretfully at Xiao Chen, who was meditating several dozen yards away. He really had wanted to take the opportunity to slaughter a Loose Cultivator and get some Spirit Stones for himself.

But since the captain had used the Young Master’s name to pressure him, he had no choice but to obey.

After all, that Young Master was the direct great-grandson of the sect’s Supreme Elder. Few people could afford to offend him, not even the other True Disciples.

Before leaving, he turned and shot Xiao Chen another glare.

’Damn it. You got lucky, kid.’

However, he then saw the white-robed cultivator before him unexpectedly take out a pair of golden maces.

"Since you’re already here, you might as well stay."

"You wanted to skin me, right? I’ll grant you that wish."

At first, Xiao Chen had actually planned to let it go. After all, there was a squad of nine people here, and fighting them would surely take some effort.

Besides, he planned to head to the core area first to study the Treasure Pearl’s function and didn’t want to alert the enemy by provoking the Yin Corpse Sect prematurely.

But then he suddenly realized that since he had already provoked the Huo Family this time, there was no need to hide anymore.

It was mainly because he had gotten so used to hiding that he didn’t react right away.

’The Golden Light Wanderer alias is definitely unusable now. In that case, what the hell is there to worry about!’

’Kill!’

BOOM!

The golden maces slammed viciously into Skinny Gou’s chest, directly exploding half of his lung.

"Hey, wait. You talked such a big game, but this is all you’ve got?"

Xiao Chen had wanted to grant Skinny Gou’s wish of being skinned, but who knew the guy would be so fragile he couldn’t even take a single blow.

He couldn’t be blamed for going back on his word; his opponent was just too pathetic.

"Gou!"

Someone instantly cried out in alarm, drawing the attention of the remaining eight people.

The nearest cultivator immediately shouted, "He’s a Body Cultivator! Captain, save me!"

He yelled for help while rapidly retreating.

The sect’s Dharma Transmission Elder had said that when facing a Body Cultivator, one must create distance to limit the explosive advantage they get from their brute strength.

Especially in a situation where they had superior numbers, coordinating with companions and using restrictive Magic to kite them was the Righteous Dao. As long as they maintained their distance, a Body Cultivator’s disadvantages in Magical Combat would become obvious.

In theory, this choice was of course correct.

Even the captain thought the same way. "Damn it. Everyone, maintain a crescent formation, restrict his movement, and capture him alive for me!"

Even though Xiao Chen had instantly killed Skinny Gou in one move, the captain didn’t panic.

A flash of irritation just crossed his eyes. This was undoubtedly delaying the Young Master’s important matter of competing for the chief disciple position.

’Hopefully, this cultivator in white really does know some clues. Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to report back to the Young Master.’

But it didn’t matter. Soon, he wouldn’t have this problem anymore.

"Damn it, he can still move! The Body-Freezing Spell is useless!"

"The Rotting Poison Vine is useless too! Captain, save me!"

After losing two more team members in quick succession, the captain finally realized something was wrong. "Attack him directly with your Spiritual Artifacts! Kill him!"

However, this struggle was undoubtedly futile.

Soon, two more fell. The remaining three cultivators looked at Xiao Chen, who stood unscathed amidst a cluster of Fire Lotuses, and finally fell into despair.

Forgetting about maintaining their formation, they turned and fled for their lives.

This was, of course, also a useless struggle. After all, running on the ground was one of the advantages of a Body Cultivator.
