Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 252 - 157: Slaying! Gu Muyuan’s Despair

However, unexpectedly, what shattered was not the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield but the small, light-golden flying sword in front of it, which exploded into countless golden fragments with a "bang".

"Hahaha! Sir! It seems your Top Grade Spiritual Artifact isn’t so impressive! Such a bluff, yet still successfully blocked by me!"

From within the silver-blue Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield came the loud laughter of Gu Muyuan.

Apparently, though the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield, seemingly solidified, blocked Gu Muyuan’s figure and face, as the master of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Pressing Armor, he could still easily perceive changes outside.

In fact, inside the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield, Gu Muyuan was indeed extremely smug, laughing heartily, yet inwardly, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Simply because his guess was correct, the opponent’s strength seemed extremely strong, giving him a feeling of a half-realm higher, yet there was a significant essence.

Though he didn’t know why the opponent’s Top Grade Spiritual Artifact was shattered by his Profound Turtle Mountain-Pressing Armor, it ultimately broke.

Without the Top Grade Spiritual Artifact, even if the opponent’s strength was initially strong, he wouldn’t be able to completely crush him, who was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage; up next, he’s likely to fall into an enduring hard-fought battle.

He wasn’t afraid of a hard-fought battle.

Because, in such battles, both sides would exhaust their mana greatly, and if the advantage isn’t clear, either side could have a decent chance of escaping successfully.

In other words, the moment the opponent’s Top Grade Spiritual Artifact shattered, it basically meant Gu Muyuan was already safe.

"Is that so?"

However, just as Gu Muyuan laughed and relaxed inwardly, Qi Chuan’s calm voice rang out.

In the void, wrapped by the light-golden Sword Gang, Qi Chuan gazed at the small light-golden flying sword shattered in front of the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield, his eyes without the slightest ripple.

As if what shattered was not his Top Grade Flying Sword at all.

"Use whatever means you have left, I admit you are indeed strong, but we are ultimately evenly matched...," Qi Chuan’s calm tone slightly tightened Gu Muyuan’s heart, causing some unease, though the voice from within the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield remained steady.

Clearly, Gu Muyuan didn’t believe Qi Chuan still retained extraordinarily strong means.

After all, within the Foundation Establishment Late Stage realm, under Foundation Establishment Perfection, what means could compare to a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact?

In the void, Qi Chuan looked at the silver-blue Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield protecting Gu Muyuan, noticing that some of the shell fragments on it now had numerous cracks, though under Gu Muyuan’s subtle mana stimulation, they were rapidly recovering, the cracks closing.

"Sigh!"

Upon seeing this, Qi Chuan sighed.

"It seems that twenty percent of the power of the Vibrating Annihilation Sword is a bit weak after all, unable to completely shatter an Upper Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact?"

Qi Chuan’s tone appeared somewhat melancholic.

But on second thought, he felt relieved, "But not necessarily, after all, it previously broke through those talisman attacks, even with Sword Gang Transformation, its power was ultimately weakened a bit..."

"...What, what did you say?" Something in Qi Chuan’s words seemed to deeply unsettle Gu Muyuan, prompting a slightly trembling and hoarse voice from within the silver-blue Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield.

"I’m saying, after playing with you for so long, you... should die now." Qi Chuan said with a faint smile, his voice plain, yet to some sounded icy-cold, like eternal mysterious ice.

Pop~

Nonetheless, Qi Chuan paid no mind to what Gu Muyuan thought, slowly opening his mouth, and in the next moment, a light hissing sound emerged as another small light-golden flying sword emerged from his mouth, shaking slightly before piercing through space, slicing at the Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield, still bearing some cracks.

Bang!

Surprisingly, instead of hearing the sound of expanding cracks, the entire Turtle Shell Light Pattern Shield directly exploded in an instant, transforming into countless silver-blue light points.

Swoosh!

Amidst the scattered silver-blue light points, a small light-golden flying sword elegantly glided by, its trajectory beautiful, its glow noble.

In stark contrast, reflected in Gu Muyuan’s twisted face, seeming like a crying smile, were the countless silver-blue light points and the comet-like light-golden sword glow trajectory.

"Do you have to be this outrageous... Can I surrender?"

In that moment, Gu Muyuan’s spirit collapsed.

Although he didn’t fully understand what Qi Chuan had said, as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, his hearing was fine and his understanding strong.

If his guess was correct, previously, after he summoned numerous High Tier Talisman attacks to weaken its power and even the Profound Turtle Mountain-Pressing Armor had some cracks, what barely shattered was not the opponent’s Top Grade Spiritual Artifact itself but merely a split-body with only twenty percent of its power?

This! How is that possible! How is that possible!

"Go."

Qi Chuan looked at Gu Muyuan’s distorted face with a calm expression, uttering only two words.

"Roar..."

Though fear of death overwhelmed him, and Gu Muyuan felt utterly hopeless, he instinctively performed hand signs at lightning speed, his voice incanting loudly, summoning defensive magic lights around him in these brief moments, enveloping and shielding him.

Sizzle!

However, as the Profound Turtle Mountain-Pressing Armor had shattered, these ordinary defensive spells were naturally ineffective against the Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword Vibrating Annihilation Sword, as they were instantly ripped apart like cloth upon slight contact.

Whish!

Finally, the Vibrating Annihilation Sword sliced unimpeded into the center of Gu Muyuan’s pale forehead. A flash of light-golden brilliance followed, and then Gu Muyuan’s entire body was vertically split from the forehead into two halves, with copious amounts of blood spurting out, but under Qi Chuan’s mana control, were all gathered into the void beside him and discarded.

"It seems, after upgrading to a Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword, the Vibrating Annihilation Sword is indeed formidable. Even with Sword Gang Division, the sword shadow with mere twenty percent power can considerably impact an Upper Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact, just not completely break it."

"As for the Vibrating Annihilation Sword’s true form, against artifacts below Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts, it is devastating."

Observing the scene before him, Qi Chuan nodded slightly, assessing the gains of this battle, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Then, Qi Chuan proceeded to inspect the spoils of this fight.

A Qiankun Bag used by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, with a space of about a zhang.

There are also numerous resources and items.

Some peculiar items were either burned or discarded by Qi Chuan without much mention.

For instance, the cultivation method from the Celestial Soul Hall, Blood Refining Technique.

Several tokens from the Celestial Soul Hall.

Some strange and sinister elixirs, indecent talismans.

Even some jade bottles containing infant blood...

The usual items for cultivators from such demon-cultivator-like forces as the Celestial Soul Hall, though as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage member, the variety and quantity were particularly abundant.

Approximately fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Don’t let the large number fool you, as a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones exchange for one Middle Grade Spirit Stone, and a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones for one Upper Grade Spirit Stone, so it equates to about five Upper Grade Spirit Stones.

Possibly, this Celestial Soul Hall Foundation Establishment Late Stage Elder used many Spirit Stones and didn’t save much.

A few Tier Two metal materials, but not at the Top Grade Level; Qi Chuan’s flying sword is already at the Tier Two Top Grade Flying Sword level, and to continue advancing, it at least needs Tier Two Top Grade metal materials or perhaps Tier Three Level, thus it’s unusable.

In fact, most of the items in this Qiankun Bag, stored before entering the Langya Spirit Realm, didn’t impress Qi Chuan, and he decided to sell them off and convert them to Spirit Stones or other resources after leaving the Langya Spirit Realm.

The key is the new acquisitions this person made within the Langya Spirit Realm.

Qi Chuan was somewhat pleasantly surprised to find quite a few spirit grass materials related to the Small Rejuvenation Pill.

And unexpectedly, even found a piece of Tier Two Top Grade metal material in the corner!
