I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

The red-haired male grimaced when he heard An Lin shamelessly say this.

“Sh*t! You’re such a wuss!” The red-haired male really wanted to beat him up.

“Gundam One, Gundam Two, attack!” An Lin bellowed.

Hearing this command, Gundam One and Gundam Two leaped at the red-haired male.

The red-haired male stamped his feet and hundreds of red fire dragons materialized in the air. They were blazing with an insanely high temperature as they crashed toward Gundam One and Gundam Two.

Gundam One and Gundam Two were extremely nimble, and they became flashes of silver afterimages as they dodged past the pouncing attacks of these fire dragons.

After nearing the red-haired male, one of the Gundams immediately released a purple light halo which enveloped him. A powerful gravity field was unleashed within this halo.

Boom!

The ground instantly caved in.

An overwhelming power crushed down toward the red-haired male. It was as if he were fighting against the crushing might of a gigantic mountain.

“This is… a gravity field?!” The male’s expression suddenly changed.

Just as he was feeling slightly flustered, the other Gundam had already swung its light sword toward his face.

The male roared angrily, and the power of his domain spread outward at a great speed. The red flames surrounding him billowed like furious waves, and they enveloped around his body. Then, these flames formed into the shape of an armored giant.

This flaming armor was extremely condensed, and it looked as if it were a real, physical armor.

The flaming armored giant didn’t dodge or evade the Gundam’s light sword. Instead, it swung its fist toward it.

Boom!

Flames erupted as the fist and light sword collided. The Gundam’s particle sword tore through the armored giant’s fist. However, the Gundam was also sent tumbling back by the powerful explosion of flames.

“What material is that sword made out of? It can even cut through the armor formed by my domain…” The red-haired male was astonished by the powers wielded by these two silver mechanical puppets.

Xiao Chou seized the opportunity which opened up in the instant that the Gundam was sent tumbling back. In a flash, he had arrived beside the red-haired male.

“Now’s the time!” An Lin roared loudly, “Strike his knee!” An Lin had activated his Divine Inspection Technique.

Xiao Chou drew upon all his power and viciously swung his staff toward the armored giant’s knee.

As the crushing power of the staff smashed into the armored giant, a loud boom erupted and shockwaves surged into the surroundings.

Crack…

The armor covering the armored giant’s knee shattered.

The armored giant’s knee crumpled, and it fell to the side as if it had lost its balance.

Seeing this, a cold chill shot through the red-haired male’s heart. He hadn’t focused much of his attention on Xiao Chou and Da Bai, as they were merely spirit beasts who hadn’t even reached the Soul Formation Stage yet. This allowed Xiao Chou to find an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, he never would’ve imagined that Xiao Chou’s surprise attack would strike at a critical part of his armored giant.

Impossible! How can he possibly be aware of the flaws in my armor domain…? Coincidence?

As his mind whirred, a white mist suddenly drifted up and enveloped the entire palace.

“Blue Wolf’s Clouds!” Da Bai cast a view-obstructing immortal spell.

As the red-haired male’s flaming armored giant collapsed, the gravity field suddenly became even more crushing.

Before, this gravity field simply hindered his ability to battle. Now, however, it had become a pulverizing weight which rendered him immobile!

“Impossible!” The red-haired male cried in shock, “How does it still have so much energy remaining?”

The power of these mechanical puppets had already far exceeded his expectations.

He resolutely crippled one of the armored giant’s arms and transformed it into a gigantic flaming sword instead. He launched this sword toward the Gundam which was controlling the gravity field.

Although his vision was impeded, he could still locate his enemies using his divine senses.

His gigantic flaming sword whizzed through the air at incredible speeds, and it didn’t deviate a single bit as it pierced into the gravity field controlling Gundam.

This devastating strike blasted the Gundam back thousands of feet, sending it flying out of the vicinity of the Palace of Yellow.

At the exact same instance, however, the Gundam which was wielding the light sword had already flown next to the armored giant’s uninjured knee, and its sword slashed toward this good knee.

Boom!

There was a deafening explosion.

The armored giant’s other knee crumpled, and it crashed into a kneeling position on the floor.

The red-haired male within the armored giant received a backlash from his own domain. His body swayed violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Xiao Chou’s silver staff ferociously struck toward the flaming armored giant’s head.

This was a weak point that An Lin had found using his Divine Inspection Technique. If the silver staff struck the giant’s head at this moment, then the red-haired male’s armor domain would completely collapse!

“I’m truly being looked down upon. I’m being bullied by a monkey who’s merely at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage…”

The red-haired male had a fierce expression on his face as flames flickered in his eyes.

In this instant, he chose to have his armor self-destruct.

“Boom!” The flaming armor exploded, and it transformed into fiery flames which blasted out into the surroundings. This was a full-power attack of a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator. The power contained within the curls of flames was extremely fearsome.

These flames melted through the earth and swallowed the palace. It transformed the entire floating boulder into a blazing inferno.

Xiao Chou was severely injured, and he was sent crashing back by the explosion of flames. Even An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, who were standing far away, were swept off their feet by the violent firestorm. They were thrown a long distance through the air before collapsing back to the ground.

The red-haired male stepped out from the sea of flames. He walked toward An Lin slowly. Even though there was blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his footsteps still remained extremely steady. His towering rage made him appear like a demonic god, with a bloodthirsty expression stretched across his face.

“Very well. You even managed to have me to disperse my own domain…

“However, your true strength is far too weak. You’re so weak that you don’t even have the courage to face me head-on.

“Without those two mechanical puppets, I can fight one hundred of you!”

The male walked before An Lin. The red flames dancing around his body possessed a bloodthirsty and violent aura.

“Since you chose to battle, you should realize that the cost of defeat is your life.” Looking toward the collapsed An Lin, the fingers of the red-haired male formed into a sword and pierced toward his heart. “Now, it’s time for me to take your life.”

A white laser streaked over from afar.

Boom! The laser struck the red-haired male’s chest and sent him flying back.

Pfff…

The male’s chest was badly mutilated by the laser beam, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The other Gundam’s Dark Purple Dragon Flames hurtled over from behind him and enveloped his entire body.

This overwhelming flame attacked his body relentlessly.

The male started howling in agony. Even though he was a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, his defenses would still weaken if he overexerted himself and used too much energy. Right now, the Dark Purple Dragon Flames were clearly doing significant amounts of damage to him.

An Lin seemed prepared for this. His eyes were snowy white, and a pair of wind wings unfurled behind his back. Traveling at a speed that was indiscernible by the naked eye, he appeared before the red-haired male in a flash.

So fast! The red-haired male’s pupils constricted. A feeling of imminent death enveloped his body.

His reaction was insanely quick, and his fist instinctively swung out toward the nearing An Lin.

However, An Lin’s reaction was even quicker. He turned his head and dodged the red-haired male’s punch.

Streams of wind enshrouded his Evil-Slaying Sword as it stabbed toward the red-haired male. It didn’t stab toward his heart, nor did it stab toward his head. Instead, it stabbed toward the red-haired male’s navel.

In that instant, the red-haired male finally realized that he had underestimated his enemy.

The power that the male before him was able to instantaneously unleash was far beyond what he had anticipated. More frightening though, was the unexpected fact that An Lin clearly knew of his fatal weak point…

The black sword penetrated through the red-haired male’s navel.

As if he had been shackled, the red-haired male couldn’t move at all. White smoke started rising from his body.

“I underestimated you…” the male said slowly.

An Lin smile faintly. He tossed his hair and said, “Remember, don’t speak so much when you’re fighting. If you want to flex, flex after you’ve won the battle.”

The red-haired male’s face twitched. I like to flex when I fight. What on earth are you going to do about it?

“You actually died a long time ago, am I right?” An Lin suddenly said.

The red-haired male shuddered slightly. He looked toward the male before him and didn’t say anything.

“The beast pet in my pocket told me this,” An Lin continued. “She said that your life essence has already disappeared, and you’re relying on the Fire Spirit Vital Bead to live on.”

“Your beast pet is pretty impressive…”

The red-haired male’s body started to slowly melt away. His skin turned into lava and flowed onto the floor.

Seeing that he was already starting to melt away, An Lin hurriedly asked, “Are the next three tomb keepers also like you?”

“Heh… Why don’t you guess?” The red-haired male melted away even faster. However, he wore a smile of relief and deliverance on his face.

Crash!

His entire body turned into blazing lava and crashed onto the floor of the palace.

An Lin: “…”

Gundam One and Gundam Two ran back over. They had exhausted much of their energy, thus An Lin placed them back into his storage ring to absorb spirit stones.

Xiao Chou and Da Bai also walked over. They were both injured as well. Xiao Chou was injured more severely, with his fur scorched black from the explosion of flames.

An Lin handed Blood Spirit Pills to both of them. He had prepared quite a lot of these energy and vitality restoring spirit pills.

After this intense battle, his wish was fulfilled, and he received the spoils of battle.

The Fire Spirit Vital Bead was emitting a crimson glow as it hovered in mid-air.

Xu Xiaolan walked over and held this Fire Spirit Vital Bead in her hand. She curiously investigated the aura flowing within it.

“Such rich fire essence energy. It’s almost as rich as the divine bead in my sect. No wonder it could become the power core for a Soul Formation Final Stage cultivator. Be careful when you use it. If you don’t control it well, it’ll explode…” Xu Xiaolan handed the Fire Spirit Vital Bead to An Lin and also gave him a word of warning.

“It’ll explode?”

It would’ve been fine if she didn’t say anything. After hearing this, An Lin instantly became panicked.

Gripping the Fire Spirit Vital Bead, he said anxiously, “Then stay further away from me. Also, prepare a healing spell while you’re at it…”

“What are going to do?” Xu Xiaolan felt a bit uneasy about this.

“I’m going to absorb all the fire essence energy contained within this Fire Spirit Vital Bead,” An Lin said solemnly.

Xu Xiaolan’s beautiful eyes widened. “Absorb it just like this?”

An Lin nodded. “What’s wrong?”

Xu Xiaolan grimaced. “I’m telling you, you’re playing with fire. You’ll die.

“I think it’s more practical if I prepare a coffin for you…”
