284 Who’s Afraid of Who? (2)
Some of the other natives of Xuanguang City trembled when they saw this scene, and their breathing became rapid.
The natives could never cultivate, and their only hope was the path of martial arts. However, this path was extremely difficult, and even becoming a first-class martial artist required a lot of energy and time.
From what they knew, it was simply impossible to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in martial arts without the guidance of the immortal cultivation path in this era.
Who could have imagined that such a peerless genius would really appear today?
“How bold! Stop!”
The middle-aged man lying on the bamboo chair finally could not bear it anymore. His figure blurred and suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ming. He looked at Jiang Ming with an ugly expression. “Let’s stop here. What happened earlier was a misunderstanding. I hope that you can respect the Spirit Silkworm Mountain and let this matter rest.”
“Elder Wu, be careful! This man is not normal!” The early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator behind him looked at the magical tool in his hand, which was heavily damaged, and reminded him fearfully.
“The wise cooperate, and the fools fight to the death. Fellow cultivator, I believe that you and I are not fools!” The leader of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, Wu Fengming, laughed.
Jiang Ming’s expression was strange, and he said with a faint smile, “Earlier, you grabbed us from outside the ruins and put us on the ship without saying a word. When we encountered danger on the way, you threw a group of people to attract the demonic beasts’ attention and die. Now, you don’t even want to apologize. You want to let this matter go with just an empty excuse. Do you think this is a game?” Jiang Ming’s voice was a little cold at the end.
Wu Fengming’s eyes flashed with anger. However, he suppressed it. He said in a hoarse voice, “Then what do you want?”
“It’s very simple. Among the techniques I’ve collected, there’s a little spell. I wonder if you’ve heard of it?” Jiang Ming smiled gently. “The name of this small spell is called the Soul Seed Spell.”
“Impossible! You’re going too far!”
When Wu Fengming heard this name, he almost went berserk. The aura in his body surged crazily, and he stared at Jiang Ming, “If you dare mention this spell again, I can only kill you here and now, even if I have to die with you. Fellow Cultivator, please be careful with your words!”
Wu Fengming clenched his sword tightly in his hand, looking as if he would start a fight at any moment.
The other cultivators of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain also had a huge change in their expressions. They stared at Jiang Ming in shock and anger. “Don’t go too far. The Spirit Silkworm Mountain isn’t easy to bully! You’re bringing a fatal disaster upon yourself!”
The four young disciples were so angry that they wanted to rush up and fight with Jiang Ming.
The Soul Seed Spell was not considered a brilliant spell. However, very few people dared use it in public because this spell was extremely ruthless. The caster could plant a seed into the soul of the target, completely monitoring their every move.
The soul was the most mysterious and fragile part of a cultivator. After being implanted with the seed, the caster could directly destroy the soul of the person being implanted, turning them into a slave on the spot.
This kind of spell could only be used on some lowly servants. The Spirit Silkworm Mountain’s disciples had always been high and mighty. If anyone wanted to use the Soul Seed Spell, it would be them using it on others. When had anyone dared treat them like this?
“My fellow cultivator, please change your condition. Whatever magical tool or secret technique you need, as long as I have it, I can give it to you!” Wu Fengming said in a deep voice. “If you and I fight to the death, you’ll lose more than you gain. Things don’t have to go in that direction.”
As he spoke, his gaze was also extremely calm. He was certain that the spell that Zhang Shan had mentioned was definitely an exorbitant price to pay.
He had seen this kind of scene many times. They were here just to find some treasures. Who would fight to the death for no reason? That was the stupidest thing.
However, the cultivators of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, including Wu Fengming, naturally did not know that Jiang Ming was immortal.
Jiang Ming’s face was full of righteousness as he sneered. “If you want to fight, then fight. Why be so wishy-washy? Even if I have to die today, I’m going to get my revenge. If you don’t agree to the Soul Seed Spell, then you can all die!”
His blood Qi exploded, and blood-red ripples rose around his body like crimson flames.
The next moment, Jiang Ming rushed out with the Scarlet Separation Sword in his hand. The blood-red sword aura gushed out endlessly like a wave, sweeping toward Wu Fengming.
“Crazy.” Wu Fengming saw that this kid was still going to risk his life regardless of what he said. He was so angry that he almost burst a vein. He quickly raised his sword to block.
A terrifying battle began, and the sword auras collided. The surrounding landscape was immediately plowed. The terrifying aftermath shook some of the nearby individual cultivators, causing them to cough up blood.
However, in less than a dozen moves, Jiang Ming’s Scarlet Separation Sword suddenly drew a strange arc and slashed into Wu Fengming’s shoulder, bringing out a large stream of blood.
The terrifying sword aura exploded, causing Wu Fengming’s shoulder to explode. It was a bloody mess, and even his bone was exposed.
“Damn it!” Wu Fengming’s face became paler and paler. He was already seriously injured, and now he had encountered a guy with a body like a monster.
Jiang Ming’s kick landed on Wu Fengming’s body with a terrifying force, immediately breaking his bones. He was sent flying hundreds of meters away and smashed into the ruins in the distance.
Jiang Ming’s figure did not stop. He swept out like lightning and chased after him.
“Even Elder Wu can’t beat him?” The rest of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain cultivators looked at this scene with pale faces.
“If Elder Wu was not injured, would this kid dare act so violently?” one of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators said reluctantly.
“Don’t panic first. With the reputation of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, how can we allow a random kid to be so presumptuous? Elder Wu still has a trump card in his hand. Zhang Shan can’t do anything.”
* * *
“Since that’s the case, don’t force me to use my killer move!”
Wu Fengming struggled to get up, his eyes flashing with a trace of ruthlessness and determination. Even those early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had magical tools bestowed by the sect, how could he not have one?
He flicked his wrist, and a silver dagger appeared in his palm. A talisman was stuck on the dagger, and wisps of lightning emanated from the blade, which seemed to contain terrifying power.
Wu Fengming released the talisman, and terrifying lightning filled the surrounding void. The ground within a radius of more than ten meters was charred black.
“Go!”
Wu Fengming’s fingers and palm were also burnt black by the lightning. He endured the pain and threw out the silver dagger.
The silver dagger crossed the sky. However, it burst out with an extremely bright sword aura, as if thousands of streaks of lightning converged, and suddenly shot at the rushing Jiang Ming.
“Hm? Is this a Golden Core Realm aura?”
Jiang Ming’s expression changed slightly. He felt an aura that did not belong to the Foundation Establishment Realm from the dagger. It was firmly locked on him. Even if he moved, he would be cut by the dagger.
If it was any other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, they might have died in the face of this dagger.
“As expected of one of the six blessed lands. A random team of explorers actually has such a treasure.”
Jiang Ming sighed. However, he did not panic too much. Although this dagger burst out an aura that surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was just a magical tool after all.
“I’ve never used this technique to fight an enemy since I left the mortal world. Let’s give it a try today!”
This was the strongest technique he had mastered. However, no enemy had been able to force him to use it this far.
