I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 80: Must Die as Well

Body Cultivators, with their invincible physiques.

Take him for example, at the Fifth-Layer Body Refining stage, his strength rivals that of a Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioner. In terms of physical defense, he is nearly as tough as a Tier One Mid-Tier Demon Beast. Some basic techniques falling on him would not pose much threat at all.

He had even once faced a direct attack from a Third-layer Qi Cultivation practitioner’s magical artifact without a scratch.

Thus, when facing the three Geng Metal Finger spells cast by Zhou Changwang, he merely let out a low roar, took a step forward, and threw his fist out.

Thud~!

A muffled sound rang out.

The Defense Spirit Talisman on him instantly turned to ash as a beam of Geng Metal light landed on his chest like a spear through bamboo, leaving no resistance as it pierced through him and out the other side.

Leaving a deep bloody hole on his body.

Thud!

Following that, the second Geng Metal Finger directly followed his hardened fist, shattering his entire arm.

The third Geng Metal Finger pierced through his heart.

The fourth went straight through his head.

He didn’t even have time to utter a scream before his life was snuffed out, collapsing to the ground as blood pooled around him.

Dead.

Boss Wei is dead?

Liu Erhu was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the incredibly powerful Boss Wei would be killed by the other person before he could even unleash his power?

What kind of technique was that? Geng Metal Finger?

When did the Geng Metal Finger become so powerful?

Boundless fear enveloped his heart.

What kind of monster have they provoked?

Xu Jiang’s face was also pale, his body stiffened, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Isn’t Zhou Changwang just like his grandfather, a Spirit Farmer?

Since when did Spirit Farmers become so strong? And isn’t he only at the Third-layer Qi Cultivation stage? How could he so easily kill even Boss Wei?

They were stunned, but Zhou Changwang was not.

Seeing that his Geng Metal Finger, having formed into a Dharma Seed, effectively killed the opposing leader, he finally relaxed completely. He quickly controlled his Dharma Artifact Flying Sword to swiftly chase after the two.

How fast was the flying sword? Especially under the boost of his Small Success level Sword Control Technique, its speed surpassed the attacks of ordinary cultivators.

In an instant, the flying sword approached Liu Erhu, whose face turned terrified as he frantically patted defense talismans onto himself while shouting, "Spare me, fellow cultivator..."

Zhou Changwang remained unmoved. With a thrust of the flying sword, it shattered the opponent’s defense talisman. Then the sword twisted, slicing off his head.

The Small Success Level Sword Control Technique allowed him to freely control the flying sword, making it dance and spin, using simple sword techniques like a martial artist.

Slicing off the opponent’s head was a breeze.

"Brother Zhou, spare me for the sake of my grandfather Xu Fugui... I’m Xu Jiang, Xu Fugui’s grandson..."

Seeing Boss Wei and Liu Erhu getting slain one after another by Zhou Changwang, Xu Jiang could no longer hold back. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down, desperately begging for his life.

"You are Xu Fugui’s grandson?"

Zhou Changwang was taken aback.

It dawned on him why this boy seemed familiar: they had indeed met before.

The opponent had previously looked down on him, boasting about wanting to join the Qingyuan Sect.

"Yes, yes... Brother Zhou, I’m Xu Fugui’s grandson! Please, for my grandfather’s sake..."

Xu Jiang shouted, a glimmer of hope finally appearing on his face. But soon, his face froze as the hope vanished, for his head was pierced by the flying sword, his voice abruptly ceasing.

"Xu Fugui’s grandson must die as well."

Zhou Changwang let out a cold hum, of course not sparing him.

He had just been wondering why such a low-key person as himself, who left home a handful of times in months, always hurriedly bought his needs and never lingered, was still being targeted.

Turns out it was this boy’s doing.

As for the fact that he was Xu Fugui’s grandson?

He did have some acquaintance with Old Xu Xu Fugui, but it wasn’t deep, merely having some connection from renting adjacent Spirit Fields over time.

The opponent had never done him any favors.

Killing Xu Jiang was done without any hesitation.

They were intending for his life, he’d be crazy to hold back.

Even after swiftly eliminating the three, Zhou Changwang didn’t lower his guard.

He was still in the fog, indicating that the surrounding array was still active. He dared not assume there weren’t any strong opponents waiting for him to lower his guard to launch a sneak attack.

Thus, after reinforcing himself with the Protective Body Technique, he began casting spells again.

This time, he used the Derivation Technique.

The Derivation Technique was a method he had learned to avoid misfortune.

During the chaotic night before, he relied on this Derivation Technique to evade countless tumult and dangers, enabling him to escape from the depths of the outskirts into the wilderness, avoiding that catastrophe.

At this moment, the danger hadn’t dissipated, so he naturally needed to rely on this magic to make some judgments.

One breath, two breaths.

After two breaths, the magic formed.

Derivation Technique +1

Silently, specks of spiritual light began to scatter in all directions.

"Is there really still danger?"

Zhou Changwang’s gaze flickered. Through the Derivation Technique, he inexplicably sensed a faint red light moving rapidly from the side direction. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Changwang immediately controlled the flying sword to shoot towards it, and his whole body quickly followed. In just the blink of an eye, he saw a vague figure sprinting madly a few zhang away.

The opponent seemed to sense Zhou Changwang’s actions and hurriedly shouted, "Fellow cultivator, don’t misunderstand, this has nothing to do with me. I was just brought over by Wei Yong to set up the array, I know nothing..."

Seeing that a few more steps would take him out of the array’s range, his heart was pounding wildly. But seeing the flying sword rushing at high speed, he could only stop for the moment and pull out a handkerchief from his chest, pointing forward.

The handkerchief immediately expanded, transforming into a defensive spiritual light.

Thunk!

The flying sword struck the handkerchief hard, halting slightly, as if blocked and returning useless.

However, the defensive spiritual light on the handkerchief quickly dimmed, shrinking back to its original size before falling back into the cultivator’s hand.

Zhou Changwang paid no mind, and with a slight thought, a golden light flashed and disappeared.

"No..."

The person was terrified. As the one who set up the array, the fog inside did not affect him, not to mention he had mastered a Spiritual Eye Technique, so he had clearly seen the battle situation before.

He naturally knew how formidable Zhou Changwang’s Golden Light Technique was.

However, although he reacted and desperately tried to evade, his speed was no match for the flash of gold light.

Thud!

And when he tried to trigger the handkerchief again to block, the golden light had already descended, directly piercing through his head.

"Finally, they’re all dead."

Zhou Changwang used the Derivation Technique again to ensure there was no more danger around before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked up at the battlefield.

Four corpses lay across the street, with blood flowing everywhere.

Zhou Changwang’s expression was complicated. This battle, though it seemed complex, was actually very brief.

From the rise of the grand array, the attack by Wei Yong and others, to Zhou Changwang’s counterattack, and finally the pursuit of the cultivator surnamed Li, the entire process lasted only ten breaths.

In such a short-time battle, Zhou Changwang felt more exhausted than after a whole day of farming. During the fight, his blood boiled and his mind was focused, but now that it was over, an endless fatigue overwhelmed him, making his whole body feel like it was collapsing.

However, he knew he couldn’t rest yet.

This was South Street.

Many middle-high tier cultivators lived nearby.

Although the array protected him, it might not be discovered for a short while, but the longer he waited, the more likely someone would come to investigate.

If he didn’t want to be discovered and cause trouble, he definitely needed to clean up the battlefield.

So, he quickly scavenged the bodies, finding a black cloth bag from Sun Erhu and Xu Jiang, and a beast hide bag from the Li cultivator, which seemed to be made from some snake demon’s hide. Of course, the handkerchief he held and a disk in his left hand looked like an array device?

As for the body cultivator Wei Yong, being a middle-tier fifth-layer body refining cultivator, he indeed had a storage bag, which Zhou Changwang collected without hesitation, then used the Fireball Technique to incinerate their bodies to ashes.

Zhou Changwang had long cultivated the Fireball Technique to the Great Success Realm. Its power was not weak, particularly its astonishingly high temperature. Under his control, the bodies quickly turned to ash.

Lastly, Zhou Changwang used the Cleaning Technique to swiftly clean the battlefield.

After more than a dozen Cleaning Techniques, all bloodstains and traces vanished completely.

Even the intense magic fluctuations left from the battle quickly calmed down under the effect of the Cleaning Technique, becoming smooth and undisturbed.

Normally, the residual mana fluctuations from such a battle would take at least a day or two to subside. During this time, even cultivators slightly sensitive to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi could easily detect that a battle occurred here...

"I didn’t expect the Cleaning Technique to have such an effect?"

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but express surprise, though it made sense.

Any technique, after reaching Small Success or Great Success, always undergoes changes.

For example, his Geng Metal Finger, originally just an insect extermination technique in the Spirit Field, now trained to the Realm of Perfection, with a condensed Dharma Seed, exhibited earth-shaking changes, even able to kill fifth-layer body refining cultivators.

And the Cleaning Technique, though a basic one, also enhances significantly after reaching Great Success, making it unmatched in battlefield cleanup.

However, the matter wasn’t over yet.

The array surrounding the area hadn’t dissipated.

He was clueless about arrays.

Luckily, he had some basic knowledge, knowing that setting up an array requires an array flag and array hub.

Undoubtedly, the array hub must have been in the hands of the array setter. Thinking of the round tray he took from the person, he hurriedly grasped it and lightly moved his spiritual power.

Buzz~!

The array scattered.

The mist dissipated, and the eight array flags in the corners appeared before him.

Without hesitation, he collected the array flags, then observed his surroundings. Seeing that no one seemed to notice his situation, he promptly opened his courtyard gate and went inside.
