Chapter 116 The Wrath of Foundation Establishment

"Gulp!"

Li Luomao wiped his mouth, and bright red blood dripped down the corner of his lips.

The ground was covered with withered bones devoid of flesh and blood. Li Luomao sat on the corpses without a care and looked around.

"Hehe, the more fresh cultivators like this, the better, if we want to heal our injuries."

Li Luomao was a genius of the Li family. Unlike Li Luojing, no one knew of his existence when he was young. In order to prevent other families from taking action, before he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was only accompanied by the cold jade slip of inheritance and his family elders.

"I want to achieve the Golden Core, so that my family can stand like the Cao family and become a hegemon for ten thousand years."

No one laughed at him; for a cultivator who could establish his foundation at such a young age, such confidence was only natural.

"Longevity cultivation techniques? Who wants such things? No matter how long an old tortoise lives, it will never become a dragon. I don't need such things. I just need to achieve the Golden Core before my time is up."

He arrogantly pushed away the cultivation method his family had prepared for him.

"hehe……"

He laughed heartily, his voice filled with bitterness and sorrow. Just then, a red beam of light suddenly crashed down from afar.

"Um?"

There was a strange power within the pillar of light, which caused his expression to change drastically. With a wave of his hand, a magical barrier instantly flew out.

"Sizzle!"

The beam of light shattered instantly upon impacting the barrier, turning into countless fragments like sparks scattered across the sky, drifting and flying in all directions.

Li Luomao, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, almost immediately sensed a sense of crisis from these fragments.

"not good!"

His reaction was extremely fast; all his magic immediately gathered around him in an attempt to defend himself again. However, he had already lost the initiative. The light from the sparks converged in one place first, and then turned into a torrent that slammed into Li Luomao's back.

"Bang!"

Li Luomao spat out a mouthful of demonic power, and a tremendous force struck. Before he could react, his body was already three zhang away.

The person who launched the sneak attack was naturally Xu Yuanlang. He didn't expect this person to be so bold as to dare to stay in the area, so he naturally wouldn't be polite.

"Again!"

Upon seeing this, the lark couldn't help but let out a joyful low growl.

"wrong!"

Xu Yuanlang was stronger and could see the problem almost immediately. Although his opponent was in a sorry state, his momentum had not diminished at all.

It's like trying to propel a massive iron ox out of a small hose into a river hundreds of feet away with a tiny hose—it's pure fantasy.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

"This guy is severely injured yet still possesses such terrifying strength. If he weren't injured, wouldn't he be even stronger? Could this guy be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"hey-hey!"

Just as he was lost in thought, Li Luomao used his only arm to press his upper body up on the ground, turned his head and stared at the two of them.

"Two ants!"

Xu Yuanlang felt as if he were a frog being watched by a python, a chill suddenly spreading from his heart to his limbs and bones.

"go!"

Li Luomao sneered, picked up a stone from the ground, and flicked it lightly at Xu Yuanlang.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the surrounding air was instantly torn apart, and a stone the size of a fingernail transformed into a streak of white light, hurtling towards Xu Yuanlang's head.

"Bluestone - Amidst a Thousand Peaks!"

In the final moments, he desperately unleashed his defensive magic weapon, only to hear a loud bang as it was pierced through.

Fortunately, the stone's trajectory was altered, almost scraping away his flesh and blood, piercing through several mountains, and then disappearing into the ground to an unknown depth.

"A natal defensive artifact? Not bad, not bad. It's more fun when people struggle."

Li Luomao laughed heartily, picked up a few pebbles from the ground, tossed them around, and glanced at them amidst their terrified gazes.

He toyed with the two of them like an old cat playing with mice, making them struggle for his own amusement.

"Yuen Long, I'll go try to create an opportunity, you better run!"

Yun Que gritted her teeth, her expression filled with a death wish, ready to sacrifice herself. Xu Yuanlang quickly grabbed her and whispered words of persuasion.

"Don't move!"

"My sister is dead, and I don't want to live alone! Let me do something in my last moments."

Xu Yuanlang looked down at Yun Que, whose eyes were filled with tears.

"good!"

Xu Yuanlang lowered his voice and spoke quietly, pointing to the woods on the right.

"Wait a minute, you run to the left, and I'll run to the right."

Li Luomao's expression held a hint of disdain. They were actually discussing their escape right in front of him. Did they think he couldn't hear them? But then again, a mere Qi Refining cultivator probably thought that keeping his voice down would solve everything.

He remained calm, his gaze fixed on Xu Yuanlang. He could see clearly that this young man possessed profound spiritual power and abundant blood and qi. If he were to perform a blood sacrifice on him, he could recover a significant amount of his strength.

"Click!"

He gently flicked the pebbles with his thumb, then quietly aimed at the woods on his right. Now all he had to do was wait quietly for the two of them to dart out like wild rabbits.

"run!"

Xu Yuanlang suddenly shouted, and Yun Que immediately darted out. She wasn't very fast, and Li Luomao could kill her at any time if he wanted to, but he didn't even look at her.

"come out!"

Li Luomao muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he couldn't wait to see the scene of brains splattering.

"roar!"

The next moment, a one-horned dragon suddenly roared. Even he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, felt his scalp tingle in that instant, as a pressure originating from his bloodline descended upon him.

With a slight exertion, the pebble instantly turned to dust. It was quite a coincidence that if he were stronger, he could ignore the pressure emanating from the phantom of the dragon, and if he were weaker, he wouldn't feel this intimidation. But he was stuck in the middle, and his body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

The next moment, an invisible wave slammed into his body. His internal defenses were now extremely weak, and with a crack, countless cracks spread outwards from the previous wound.

"Damn it!"

As expected of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Luomao reacted extremely quickly. He bit his tongue and suddenly woke up, immediately circulating his magic power to block the invisible fluctuation.

Although the Water Dragon's Roar attack could ignore ordinary spiritual energy shields, Li Luomao was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his strength was vastly different from his. No matter how miraculous the invisible fluctuations were, they could not penetrate his magic defense.

However, Li Luomao was not doing well either. At this moment, he was in excruciating pain all over his body, and clumps of demonic energy were flowing out of his body. The blood sacrifice of more than a month was almost wasted.

"White Jade - Blood in the Box!"

A white light flashed past, and Li Luomao immediately reached out to block it, but two of his fingers were severed.

"boom!"
