Chapter 286: Chapter 285: Intense Magical Battle!

“Since you’ve chosen to seek death, then go and die!”

With a cold snort from Gu Yuan, cries of agony started echoing around.

The cultivators fixed their gaze, only to see a cyan butterfly appearing with exceptional agility among the crowd, its wings flapping and releasing strands of exceptionally sharp cyan Sword Qi.

The Alchemy Room was not large, and there were quite a few cultivators here, making it impossible to evade.

As such, many were hit by the Sword Qi, their bodies bursting into bloody holes, leading to instant death or severe injury, even having their hearts or heads pierced through.

Even though these people had some tricks up their sleeves, they were unable to withstand the sharpness of the cyan Sword Qi.

Apart from the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, there was also the Silver-backed Centipede, now transforming into a streak of silver lightning, darting back and forth like a ferocious and agile Flying Sword.

Wherever it passed, neither Protective True Qi nor Protective Magical Artifacts or Divine Techniques could withstand it, being easily pierced and torn apart.

Along with it, the flesh and blood of the cultivators were also shredded.

As for the Purple Sky Thunder Spider and the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python, although both were Golden Tier spirit pets, one had just recently hatched and the other had just leveled up. Consequently, they possessed great potential but weren’t very powerful yet.

These treasured darlings couldn’t be risked.

Nevertheless, with the help of Little Cyan and Ah Wu, descendants of powerful Ancient Exotic Insects,

along with Gu Yuan himself wielding the Silver Flood Dragon Sword to sweep across the area, these cultivators sustained heavy losses, leaving behind limbless bodies and viscera and blood in every direction.

For a moment, the environment was filled with shouts of anger, screams, cries for mercy, and the sound of Flying Swords shattering Magical Artifacts and slicing through flesh.

The entire scene was nothing short of a bloodbath, shocking and terrifying!

Clang!!!

Gu Yuan’s Silver Flood Dragon Sword roared like a silver flood dragon, advancing with unmatched prowess.

Suddenly, as the Sword Light swept by a certain spot, a crisp and loud sound erupted, reminiscent of the metallic vibration produced by the clash of swords.

What the Silver Flood Dragon Sword had struck was a blue short blade, appearing refined and compact as a Magical Artifact, but emanating formidable Spiritual Pressure.

In the instant it appeared, an astonishing heat spread, and its surface ignited with a layer of light blue flame.

This light blue flame burned at an exceptionally high temperature, causing even the void to appear distorted.

Faintly visible within the light blue flame was a peculiar Firebird soaring.

This short blade was indeed a top-tier Magical Artifact, its quality comparable to Gu Yuan’s Silver Flood Dragon Sword, and it was the Lifebound Magical Artifact of that elder with the surname Ji.

Gu Yuan spun his fingers, making the Silver Flood Dragon Sword slash, cut, thrust, and parry, silver light twinkling, like a flood dragon with claws dancing wildly, entangled in battle with the short blade, producing a series of clashing “ding ding dang dang” sounds.

Admittedly, this elder Ji was a seasoned Golden Core Great Cultivator; though not of a high Pill Grade, his Cultivation was deep, and his experience rich.

He managed to fight Gu Yuan to a standstill using this Lifebound Magical Artifact.

Whoosh!

Suddenly,

a rusty Iron Spear Magical Artifact flew in, its tip gleaming with a chilling light, fiercely jabbing towards Gu Yuan’s chest.

This attack was rather cunning and vicious, emitting a terrifying and sinister aura.

Even Gu Yuan sensed a trace of danger.

Faced with this sudden strike, Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and caught it.

Then, using both hands, his forearm muscles bulged, knots of muscle emerged.

Crack!

The Iron Spear was directly snapped in two.

Witnessing this scene, the few surviving individuals showed expressions of shock.

Everyone knew Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship was exceptional, but who would have thought that he had also cultivated Body Cultivation Divine Techniques, attaining considerable mastery?

Thump!

At the moment the Iron Spear broke, a cultivator nearby spewed out a mouthful of blood.

He bore a bowl-sized wound in his right abdomen, penetrating through, and emitting a chilling Sword Intent, clearly from being hit by the Sword Qi of the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.

With his Magical Artifact destroyed, his injuries worsened, yet he didn’t seem to care, his eyes glowing red as he charged over, his body emitting a bright light tinged with a scarlet hue.

“Something’s wrong!”

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes, realizing something amiss, and immediately activated the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Technique, with a black light emerging around him.

Even Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling were shielded by him.

Then, this person suddenly exploded, his flesh and energy rapidly combusting, transforming into a scarlet astral thunder, carrying a sinister and bizarre aura, striking Gu Yuan.

However, when the scarlet astral thunder hit the black light, it was silently devoured by eighty percent, with the remaining twenty percent grasped by Gu Yuan and clenched, dissipating into nothingness.

Then, Gu Yuan’s hands mimed gripping action, as a purple-gold Thunder Light began to flicker.

Sizzle sizzle!

The purple-gold Thunder Light shimmered, exuding an overwhelmingly dominant aura that nothing could resist, as Gu Yuan gathered a Thunder Ball in his hands.

“Scatter!”

With Gu Yuan spreading his arms, the Thunder Ball suddenly burst open, transforming into a Purple Sky Divine Thunder Net, enveloping the entire Alchemy Room.

Apart from Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling, as well as the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, whom Gu Yuan deliberately spared, all other cultivators perished, except for the old man Ji.

The few remaining ended up scorched by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

The elder Ji was cunningly shrewd, and seeing things going south, he used his Magical Artifact to carve a path, narrowly escaping disaster, but Gu Yuan wasn’t planning to let him go easily.

Since the enmity had formed, there had to be a resolution, in other words, it would not end until death!

The elder Ji instigated so many people to attack Gu Yuan; Gu Yuan would have to be a fool to let him go.

Upon exiting the Alchemy Room, the elder Ji tried to flee, but no matter how fast he was, he was only one person.

The Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, under Gu Yuan’s command, quickly caught up, using various means to hold him back.

If the elder Ji focused solely on escaping, disregarding everything else, he would inevitably have a few holes opened on his back by Little Cyan and Ah Wu.

“Damn it! Just a mere Celestial Human… how is this brat so troublesome!”

The elder Ji gritted his teeth, feeling a mix of frustration and anger but helpless, as he stopped, controlling his Lifebound Magical Artifact flying saber to fend off the attacks of the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede.

The flying saber Magical Artifact collided with the Sword Qi and the Silver-backed Centipede, producing a string of piercing metallic reverberations, deafening all around.

Just after dealing with one wave of attacks, a thread of silver light, thin as a strand of hair but with unmatched sharpness, came streaking through.

Hiss hiss—

Where it passed, the void shimmered with light, and even the hard lapis lazuli on the ground was sliced with deep gashes.
