Chapter 384: Is This a Golden Core! (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as he finished speaking, An Yue’s exhausted face instantly turned pale, and the despair in her eyes intensified. She did not expect that she and her sister would be found by this green flood dragon in the end after spending so much effort to escape from the market!
Facing the green flood dragon that was comparable to a human Divine Transformation cultivator, no matter how many tricks she had, it was useless.
“Sister, see you in the next life!” An Yue bit her lip and did not struggle meaninglessly.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in midair not far away. It wore a greenish-gray round-collared robe. Although it looked like a human, there were obvious flood dragon horns on its head. It was a green flood dragon. After it revealed its body, it stepped in the air and looked down at Shen Ping. It looked at Shen Ping with interest and said, “You’re clearly a Golden Core cultivator, but you have the divine sense of a mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. What an interesting human cultivator. It seems that you must have something special on you.”
Shen Ping narrowed his eyes and said, “Senior Green Flood Dragon should have chased me here, right?”
The mountain range he found was relatively desolate. Even a short period of cultivation was not suitable. However, this green flood dragon had found this place. He did not believe that it was a coincidence.
The green flood dragon said noncommittally, “It’s just along the way.”
Shen Ping understood. “Senior Green Flood Dragon is indeed worthy of being a Nascent Soul cultivator with the bloodline divine power of the demon race. I didn’t even notice that I had left some traces.”
In fact, he had specially used his divine sense to check his body back and forth, but he did not find any spiritual mark or other marks.
The green flood dragon smiled faintly and said, “This is the bloodline technique of our demon race. Unless you humans are proficient in blood techniques, it’s definitely difficult for you to sense it. Alright, that’s the end of the nonsense. Junior, if you know what’s good for you, kill yourself and avoid pain.”
Boom! As soon as it finished speaking, it attacked. Even though there were only two Golden Core cultivators in front of him, this green flood dragon was not careless at all. As soon as it attacked, it instantly transformed into its original form. Its huge flood dragon body shook slightly in the air, and the sudden speed caused the space to explode.
An Yue could not react at all. However, Shen Ping was already on guard. When he sensed the aura of the green flood dragon, he secretly took out a Level 5 defensive talisman. Moreover, the Purple Mystic Jade Spiritual Robe on his body had also activated its defense function.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the incomparably huge impact force collided fiercely with the shield condensed from talismans. The spiritual barrier around the shield trembled continuously like water waves, as if it was about to shatter at any moment.
At the same time, the Green Flood Dragon’s body was sent flying dozens of meters away and floated in the air.
It stared fixedly at the talisman that enveloped Shen Ping and growled, “Six Shield Spirit Talisman. Junior, you actually have such a talisman on you.”
Although he sounded surprised, he was more excited. The Six Shield Talisman was considered a high-grade talisman among Level 5 defensive talismans. This kind of talisman was very expensive. Even ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators sometimes felt the pain of buying one. It did not expect a mere human Golden Core cultivator to have it.
Obviously, the other party had an extraordinary background. He might be the direct descendant of a human Divine Transformation expert.
Shen Ping said indifferently, “Senior Green Flood Dragon, I still have many good things on me, but it depends on whether you have the ability to take them!”
His eyes narrowed. A snake-shaped puppet with purple lightning patterns suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Go!” With a low shout, he quickly formed hand seals. The low-grade Level 5 Purple Lightning Snake Puppet flew out at lightning speed. In almost an instant, it expanded into a lightning snake puppet that was similar to the green flood dragon’s body.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Lightning snaked around the puppet. With just a cover, it entangled the green flood dragon.
“Damn it. Junior, where did you come from? You even have a Level 5 Lightning Snake Puppet!!” The green flood dragon was shocked.
Forget about the Level 5 Six Shield Talisman, but the Level 5 Lightning Snake Puppet was an even rarer auxiliary killing puppet. Such an item did not even exist in the Black Fiend Valley’s auction. Humans and demons, including the Wood Clan’s puppet masters who were proficient in making puppets, had to be a Level 5 mid-grade puppet grandmaster to make one.
Shen Ping completely ignored the green flood dragon. While the lightning snake puppet was entangling the green flood dragon, Level 5 offensive talismans flew out from his sleeve and quickly surrounded him. They spun from bottom to top and quickly gathered above his head.
He stared at the huge flood dragon. His eyes were cold.
Sea of Talisman—Hundred Talismans!
The moment the Talisman Dao Mystique was activated, the hundreds of Thunder Flame Talismans above Shen Ping’s head were completely burned. Then, they flickered with scarlet flames like a sea of lightning.
Boom!!! A huge pillar of purple lightning and red light erupted in this desolate mountain range. Even though the green flood dragon instinctively sensed danger, when he saw the divine power pillar of light that contained terrifying power, he didn’t have time to dodge, let alone be bound by the lightning snake puppet.
“No!!” A terrified roar of a flood dragon sounded in midair, but it quickly stopped. As the pillar of light dissipated, the Lightning Snake Puppet in the air scattered into a pile of debris, mixed with the remains of the flood dragon, falling like rain.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Facing the late-stage Nascent Soul green dragon with a bloodline divine power, he did not dare to be careless at all. Even if he had to waste some fifth-stage talismans, he had to kill it in one strike!
Speaking of which, this could be considered his first real battle. Naturally, he wanted stability. He could make more talismans if he lost them, but if he lost his life, he would not have a chance to start over.
When a lion hunts a rabbit, it also uses its full strength. He, Shen Ping, would definitely kill with a thunderous strike!
He waved his sleeve. The large amount of debris fell into the Yin Chen Spirit Ring. Then, Shen Ping looked sideways at the female cultivator surnamed An beside him. Seeing that she was in a daze, he frowned slightly. He grabbed her arm and activated the magic power of the Golden Core. He rode his flying treasure and turned into a beam of light that quickly disappeared from this desolate mountain range.
Half a day later, on the steep cliff of the mountain range, Shen Ping dug out the cave abode and walked in. Then, he casually threw out more than ten array flags and sat down cross-legged.
The dullness in An Yue’s eyes gradually became colorful. However, her beautiful face in the form of a catgirl was still filled with deep shock. Her eyes stared fixedly at Shen Ping, as if she could not believe that the Golden Core cultivator in front of her was a human.
She even suspected that Shen Ping’s appearance was just a disguise. In fact, he was a powerful cultivator from other races.
“Have you seen enough?” Shen Ping, who had adjusted his mental state, glanced at the female cultivator in the catgirl outfit.
The reason why he chose to fight the green flood dragon head-on was mainly because he guessed that the other party had some methods on him that his divine sense could not detect. He could only eliminate the hidden danger.
As for bringing this female cultivator surnamed An, the reason was that she was a cultivator from Black Fiend Valley. She definitely knew how to safely head to Black Fiend Valley.
“Senior, y-you’re really a human cultivator?” After a long while, An Yue react.
“Your illusion technique is not bad.” Shen Ping nodded and said calmly. He sized up the female cultivator of the An family in front of him. Her clothes were in tatters, and her skin was exposed. The other party had clearly disguised herself as a cat girl of the demon race to avoid the detection of the green flood dragon.
Seeming to have sensed the eyes wreaking havoc on her, An Yue’s face almost instinctively flushed red, but she did not dare to change her clothes. After all, this was a terrifying cultivator who could instantly kill the Green Flood Dragon.
“Senior, I used a treasure with a special illusion technique.” As she spoke, she hurriedly took it out. It was a bead emitting a blue light. “I’ll give this Illusory Magic Pearl to you as a thank you for saving my life.”
It was obvious that An Yue had misunderstood Shen Ping. However, Shen Ping did not explain. He put away the bead and said bluntly, “You’re a junior of the An family of Black Fiend Valley. I want to go to Black Fiend Valley, so you’ll lead the way.”
His voice carried a tone that could not be rejected. Since he had revealed a portion of his strength in front of her, Shen Ping did not want to discuss it with her humbly and kindly.
An Yue’s eyes lit up. She was just thinking about how to return to Black Fiend Valley. If she had this powerful cultivator by her side, the journey would definitely be much safer.
“Yes, Senior.” She cupped her hands and replied. Due to the clothes in front of her, when she raised her arm, her moist and fair skin had obvious curves.
Shen Ping glanced at him and said indifferently, “Change your clothes first.”
An Yue’s face immediately turned red. She quickly turned around and used her magic power to cover her fair skin. After a few breaths, she changed into a light blue robe and bowed again. “Senior, can you wait here for a few days? To be honest, when we fled the market, my sister and I were forced to split up. However, the cultivation technique we cultivate is relatively special. We can sense each other. As long as my sister is safe, she will definitely be able to find this place.”
Shen Ping thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”
With that, he closed his eyes and cultivated.
Meanwhile, An Yue sat cross-legged not far away. However, she secretly sized up Shen Ping from the corner of her eye, still feeling incredulous.
Six Shield Talisman. Lightning Snake Puppet. And the divine power that he used at the end… Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, she still found it unbelievable.
Golden Core cultivators. Even if one’s divine sense was powerful, it was definitely difficult to contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator of the demon race.
It was truly not easy to be able to safely escape from the hands of such an expert, yet the other party had actually annihilated the Green Flood Dragon. If news of this were to spread, it would absolutely cause an extremely great commotion in the Black Fiend Valley.
Ever since the Myriad Spirit Ranking spread, An Yue did not know if there were such powerful Golden Core cultivators in the prosperous places of the human Immortal Dao, but she knew very well that there were definitely no such terrifying Golden Core cultivators at the edge of the Black Mist Direlands.
A few days later, An Yue’s sister still had not arrived. Shen Ping did not intend to stay here for long. He stood up and said, “Let’s go!”
“S-Senior, can you wait a few more days?” An Yue whispered timidly.
Shen Ping shook his head. “No, quickly lead the way. Your sister is a good person and will definitely be fine. Alright, don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Not long after, the beam of light quickly flew into the sky from the cliff. After disappearing for a moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the cliff. She looked in the direction where Shen Ping and An Yue had left, and her eyes revealed worry. “This person is actually able to kill the Green Flood Dragon. His strength is really terrifying. I wonder if Sister can escape from him when they reach Black Fiend Valley..”
