Chapter 410 - 410 Guardian Spirit Fragment
410 Guardian Spirit Fragment
The future kings of the five major sects were capable enough to eliminate these weakened elders, but these future kings from smaller sects could only manage a one-to-one trade at best.
“It’s over, Brother Liu,” Qin Huai said softly. He had noticed Liu Laicheng’s intentional attempt to sacrifice him earlier. Although it was a strategic decision weighing the benefits and drawbacks, Qin Huai understood this man’s thought process.
Qin Huai wasn’t in a rush to eliminate Liu Laicheng, though. He knew he could use the latter as a trailblazer.
The current Liu Laicheng, like the old visceral prefecture realm experts, could be easily handled with just a single illusion realm fist and a series of poisonous dragon shock forbidden techniques. Qin Huai didn’t even need to use the illusion realm fist. The dragon king form alone could annihilate him.
Clang! Clang!
The echo of heart steel resonated in Qin Huai’s ears, fortifying his blood and qi. Accompanying this sound was a flurry of experience orbs entering Qin Huai’s body.
“Ding! You have collected a [Thousand Divination Blood Technique Essence (Dark Red)], [Thousand Divination Blood Technique] experience points +800,000!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Dao Zuo Scripture Essence (Red)], [Dao Zuo Scripture] experience points +333,333!”
“Ding! You have collected…”
“Ding! You have collected [Extreme Qi Xuan Technique Essence (Dark Red)], [Extreme Qi Xuan Technique] experience points +800,000!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Thousand Divination Blood Technique Essence (Dark Red)], [Thousand Divination Blood Technique] experience points +500,000!”
“Ding…”
Qin Huai was momentarily stunned. Among the multitude of experience orbs, there were two that didn’t merge into his body at his command. They weren’t spherical but shattered, and they lay silently on the ground.
Qin Huai focused on these two shards, willing them to merge into his body, and only then did the two shattered experience orbs fuse into him.
“Ding! You have collected a [Pseudo-Divine Qi (Fragment)], [Pseudo-Divine Qi (1/3)] !”
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Puppet (Fragment)], [Blood Puppet (1/3)]!”
“Are these… the shards of the guardian spirit item?” Qin Huai’s eyes lit up with excitement. His cheat had unveiled a new function as his cultivation technique reached the pinnacle of the bone pattern realm.
The ability to collect the shards of the guardian spirit item meant that Qin Huai wouldn’t have to expend as much effort searching for suitable items for specific cultivation techniques.
“The pseudo divine qi is quite good, but the blood puppet of the elder from the Thousand Divination Tower is somewhat useless,” Qin Huai murmured.
The blood puppet was clearly not proficient in offensive techniques. Perhaps it was because it held a magical effect on the Thousand Divination Tower’s cultivation technique.
Qin Huai looked at the thousand divination blood technique. As he expected, the blood puppet had the effect of mitigating the backlash from the thousand divination blood technique.
“Can I predict fortunes… It’s a decent support method,” Qin Huai murmured.
“If there’s an opportunity, the former could become the guardian spirit item for the wind breath technique…” As for the latter, given the chance, Qin Huai wouldn’t hesitate to push himself to the next realm.
Suddenly, he turned around, shocked to see Liu Laicheng lying on the corpse of the old man from Wuji Mountain. Liu Laicheng was breathing in a peculiar way, inhaling a strange gas from the corpse.
Qin Huai’s brows furrowed. He noticed a faint silver light emerging from the body. Divine energy… This guy was trying to absorb the divine qi for himself, taking advantage of the situation.
A cold laugh escaped from Qin Huai. He slowly advanced toward Liu Laicheng. He was fine with Liu Laicheng not helping, but now the latter wanted to snatch his spoils? The world doesn’t work that way.
Puff!
Suddenly, Liu Laicheng coughed up blood. The silver aura he had swallowed earlier drifted out again. His face turned pale as he quickly sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation technique to regulate his breathing. He was already severely injured and the divine aura had made it worse.
“Brother Zhou, this divine anger… Its power is terrifying. I fear we won’t be able to take it,” Liu Laicheng slowly opened his eyes and tried to dissuade Qin Huai, attempting to maintain a straight face.
“Thank you for your reminder, Brother Liu!” Qin Huai responded, his fists held up in a formal salute. In the next instant, he activated his dragon king form, rapidly closing the distance to Liu Laicheng.
“Forbidden technique, poison dragon shock!” With a terrifying punch and a deafening scream, Qin Huai smashed Liu Laicheng’s head.
Bang!
Blood splattered everywhere as Liu Laicheng’s headless body fell forward.
Qin Huai noticed the two poisonous needles clutched in Liu’s hands. He gave a cold smile. “Ridiculous. You think you can kill me with such measly power?”
Qin Huai obtained a large amount of experience points effortlessly. Searching the trio’s bodies, he found they were penniless. But Qin had made a fortune from defeating two visceral prefecture realm experts and a future king with five full veins. This gain was enough to bring all of Qin Huai’s cultivation techniques, except the thousand divination blood technique, to a critical point.
Buzz…
As Qin Huai prepared to sit and cultivate, a familiar sound filled the air. The world around him started to shatter and once again, he found himself on a familiar battlefield.
Glancing around, Qin was taken aback. Standing opposite him were his old acquaintances, Yun Qi of the White Cloud sect and Hua Yanli of the Thunderbolt Gang.
They usually had a few steps head start before bumping into each other. But this time, they encountered each other right off the bat.
“You… It’s you, you bastard!” Hua Yanli was furious, veins bulging on his forehead as he pointed at Qin Huai and cursed.
Yun Qi, standing beside him, didn’t utter a word. Instead, he grabbed Hua Yanli’s hand and started running away. They knew they stood no chance against Qin Huai in a fight, so their only option was to flee, hoping to enter a higher-level array first.
Qin Huai shook his head. With a gentle push off the ground, he caught up to them.
“I’m sorry. Please die again,” he said, throwing his fists and promptly ending the one-sided battle. The fight ended without any suspense.
