Chapter 80: Chapter 10: Another Round Wheel Magical Artifact!

Zhou Xun crawled on the ground.

At the moment the three cold-faced men charged out, he suddenly exploded into action, activating the Armor-Piercing Cone.

The Armor-Piercing Cone was refined from the claws of a Tier One Peak Profound Armor Armadillo and had armor-piercing capabilities.

The Armor-Piercing Cone transformed into a streak of black lightning, directly charging at the cold-faced middle-aged man.

The three cold-faced men were unprepared, startled by Zhou Xun’s sudden outbreak.

Then a strong wave of spiritual power surged straight towards the three.

The place where Zhou Xun had ambushed was just over thirty feet from the middle-aged man, far too close to activate any defense spiritual artifacts in time.

Before the battle with the Law Enforcement Team, the cold-faced middle-aged man’s magic robe had an innate defense light shield, able to block some attacks.

But after that great battle, not only was he severely injured, but most of his spiritual artifacts were damaged.

The cold-faced middle-aged man, without hesitation, grabbed the monkey-faced youth beside him and threw him in the direction of the Armor-Piercing Cone.

Using this thrust, he retreated violently towards the slope on one side.

The monkey-faced youth had just discovered the spiritual power fluctuation of the Armor-Piercing Cone and was about to warn.

Suddenly, his body was sent flying, smashing towards the Armor-Piercing Cone.

The youth showed a look of bewilderment, watching helplessly as he collided with the Armor-Piercing Cone.

He desperately formed a hand seal, trying to summon a magic shield to block it, but it was too late.

“Pu-chii—”

The Armor-Piercing Cone instantly pierced through the youth’s inner armor.

The inner armor was a middle-grade spiritual artifact bought at great cost.

Yet it was like paper before the Armor-Piercing Cone.

The Armor-Piercing Cone penetrated the youth’s body, creating a hole the size of a basin.

Most of the chest cavity vanished without a trace.

The youth’s body plunged from the air, and in his last conscious moments, he cast his gaze towards the distant cold-faced middle-aged man, showing extreme resentment, then his vision went dark, no longer moving.

The Armor-Piercing Cone killed one, its momentum weakened, with no chance of sneaking up on the middle-aged man anymore.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun silently regretted it.

At the same time, he admired the cold-faced middle-aged man’s ruthlessness and decisiveness.

As the cold-faced middle-aged man landed, he took out several defense talismans and activated them around him.

Several light shields enveloped him completely.

At the same time, he summoned a middle-grade defense shield, blocking himself in front.

“Fellow Daoist, we have no grievance or enmity, why do you act like a Tribulation Cultivator!” The middle-aged man felt the aura of Peak Qi Refining mana emanating from Zhou Xun and shouted angrily.

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but admire this man’s shamelessness upon hearing that.

If it weren’t for his Thousand Faces Mask capable of simulating the aura as Peak Qi Refining, making this man wary, he would probably have attacked long ago.

He sneered, immediately taking several high-grade talismans from his storage bag, and activated them all towards the cold-face.

In an instant.

A golden saber over a yard long, ice spikes, and dozens of basin-sized fireballs hurtled towards the middle-aged man.

As soon as Zhou Xun made his move, the middle-aged man threw out several Golden Shield Talismans, transforming into three or four golden shields.

Blocking Zhou Xun’s attacks.

Those talismans were merely feints from Zhou Xun.

While activating the talismans, Zhou Xun sprinted forward, charging towards the middle-aged man.

At the same time, he activated the round wheel in his hand.

At this moment, the fireball ice spikes and golden shield simultaneously dissipated, and Zhou Xun reached the middle-aged man, over a dozen feet away.

With a Divine Thought, the round wheel attacked the middle-aged man from the left, while the Armor-Piercing Cone struck from the right.

Attacking from both sides, pinching him in between.

“Bright Moon Wheel, how could you have this spiritual artifact!” The cold-faced middle-aged man was shocked when he saw the round wheel.

“Did you kill my junior brother?”

He immediately maneuvered his own round wheel spiritual artifact to collide with Zhou Xun’s round wheel.

“Bang—”

The two spiritual artifacts were equally matched.

Meanwhile, the Armor-Piercing Cone shattered the middle-grade defense shield and struck the defense light shield in front of him.

The middle-aged man was horrified:

“How…how can you control two high-grade spiritual artifacts!”

Zhou Xun sneered and charged forward.

He activated the Body Refining Technique, and his skin turned a bronze color, emitting an aura like a giant beast.

A punch was delivered to the light shield, shattering several layers instantly.

Finally stopping before a pale golden light shield.

“Tier Two Low-Grade Vajra Talisman?”

Zhou Xun said faintly.

Then he maneuvered the Armor-Piercing Cone to strike fiercely at the light shield of the Vajra Talisman,

producing a “ding ding” sound.

At the same time, Zhou Xun activated the Body Refining Technique and struck hard at the Vajra Light Shield.

Under the combined attack, the light shield began to dim.

“A Body Cultivator!” The middle-aged man was greatly shocked, his face turned pale, and he said urgently:

“Friend, spare me! I have a great secret concerning Foundation Establishment!”

The middle-aged man was already severely depleted in vitality after the battle with the Law Enforcement Team, and now in a great struggle with Zhou Xun, he was even more powerless.

Zhou Xun turned a deaf ear, and soon, the Vajra Talisman could not withstand Zhou Xun’s attack. The light dimmed and began to crack.

In despair, the middle-aged man activated a protective light shield with his mana once more.

However, a Tier Two Low-Grade defense talisman couldn’t hold up, much less his protective light shield.

The middle-aged man showed an expression of despair.

His rampant life, why did it end here?

If it weren’t for his severe injuries, he would never have met such a fate.

With a brittle sound, the Vajra Talisman shattered.

In the next moment, the Armor-Piercing Cone broke through, instantly piercing the middle-aged man’s protective light shield and pinning his body to the ground.

Zhou Xun stepped forward, summoned a long blade spiritual artifact, and brutally chopped it, severing his head.

The middle-aged man was instantly killed!

The round wheel spiritual artifact, which was engaged in a fight in the distance, fell to the ground.

Zhou Xun went up, wrapped the head in a piece of cloth from the middle-aged man, and then put it into his Storage Bag.

He wanted to use this man’s head to honor the deceased soul of Shi Jingfeng and to comfort his spirit in heaven.

Then Zhou Xun waved his hand and took the Storage Bag at the middle-aged man’s waist and the fallen round wheel spiritual artifact.

He then threw out a Fireball Talisman, burning the middle-aged man’s headless corpse to ashes.

Just as Zhou Xun turned to leave, he noticed a pair of boots left on the ground, unharmed by the Fireball Technique.

Zhou Xun was moved.

Recalling his previous assault, the middle-aged man’s movement was significantly faster than that of a typical Peak Qi Refining cultivator.

Originally, he thought it was because the middle-aged man had cultivated some Secret Technique.

For example, Zhou Xun himself, with the Body Refinement Technique, could explode with speed for a short time, which is why he could keep pace with this middle-aged man.

It seems the middle-aged man’s speed was due to these boots.

With a wave of his hand, he put them into his Storage Bag, not bothering to check them yet, and then stepped onto the Cyan Light Shuttle, chasing into the distance.

During the great battle between Zhou Xun and the cold-faced middle-aged man, the square-faced big man turned and fled without hesitation.

He showed no attachment to the cold-faced middle-aged leader.

Very soon, Zhou Xun caught up with the square-faced big man.

Seeing how quickly Zhou Xun had disposed of his leader and pursued him, the man’s face changed drastically.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he knelt down.

“Spare me, senior! I hold a great secret related to Foundation Establishment!”

“Is that true?” Zhou Xun’s ’eyes lit up,’ showing great interest. He stepped forward quickly to inquire,

The man, seeing this, immediately stood up, his left hand clenched a little more tightly, showing a trace of reluctance, but was soon replaced by a ruthless determination,

“Of course it’s true, this item is right…” As he raised his left hand slightly, as if to take something out,

“Pfft—”

A Flying Blade pierced through his head, killing him instantly.

“Trivial tricks, trying to deceive me!”

Zhou Xun sneered, then bent down and pried open his left hand!

“Let’s see what tricks you have!”

In the man’s hand was clasped a jet-black short nail, and upon seeing it, Zhou Xun broke out in a cold sweat!

“It’s the Breaking Strength Nail!”

This is a kind of ancient one-time-use magical artifact, extremely powerful, capable of killing even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator if struck once.

It is said that a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator once fell due to this nail.

Unfortunately, the refining of this nail goes against the harmony of the heavens. Each Breaking Strength Nail requires the third vertebra of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators,

and therefore, it was banned by the great sect Cloud Light Sect in Xui Country. For nearly a hundred years, it has not appeared in the world.

Unexpectedly, this man actually had one!

“This Cultivation Realm is indeed treacherous; even the most unremarkable person may have extremely sharp finales in their hands!”

Zhou Xun sighed in his heart,

Then, after putting away the Breaking Strength Nail and the man’s Storage Bag, Zhou Xun maneuvered the Cyan Light Shuttle and took to the sky, speeding towards Qingyue Square.
