Chapter 137 Like a Dragon

"The Star-Chasing, Moon-Chasing Sword!"

Just as he was about to succeed, a sword light a hundred feet long suddenly fell from Wuliang Mountain like a star chasing the moon.

"Damn it..."

Ma Benxin, who was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, changed his expression upon seeing the sword light, hurriedly put away his magic weapon, and turned around to dodge the sword light.

"That old bastard deserves to die!"

Looking at the vast sword light, he couldn't help but curse. It was no surprise that this attack was launched by Xu Xuanting, who was stationed at Wuliang Mountain, through an array.

Although Xu Xuanting is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage, he is now in control of a second-tier mid-grade formation, and with the support of spiritual veins, his attack power is not to be underestimated.

"Haha, clan leader, you can focus on your breakthrough. I will protect you."

Inside Wuliang Mountain, Xu Xuanting laughed as he manipulated the formation, his eyes fixed on the people outside. His face was full of smiles. If his clan leader could successfully break through, he wouldn't be inferior to the Li family in the future because they didn't have a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This is troublesome. Ma Benxin frowned. One of the demonic cultivators was almost vertically cut in half. Although the demonic cultivator was not dead yet, he could only prolong his life for a few more hours.

"Fellow Daoist, let's attack from both sides simultaneously..."

Another demonic cultivator offered a suggestion, but received no response. Realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly turned around and discovered that Ma Benxin had already vanished.

"These bastards call themselves righteous, but they're all incredibly fast runners."

This demonic cultivator was seething with hatred, but seeing Xu Zhenqie's imposing aura and Xu Xuanting's menacing control of the formation, he couldn't help but have second thoughts.

"Damn it, I have no reason to risk my life for the Li family. What's the point of a mere spirit creature compared to saving my own life?"

The demonic cultivator turned to leave, but a hundred-foot-long, sharp sword light fell down and blocked him for a moment. He hurriedly dodged, and just then, he suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood in his nose, and a white light flashed before his eyes.

"What is it?"

He was terrified. He turned his head sharply and heard a snap. It felt like his bones were breaking. Then his vision blurred.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, his head bounced twice on the ground. He looked at the upside-down world, with only one thought in his mind.

"How did my head get chopped off?"

No one answered. Then a muffled thud came from the side, and a headless corpse fell next to the head. Although the head was gone, the body was still twitching.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. As long as the head is reattached quickly, and then I use my Blood Demon Technique, there's still a chance for the severed head to regenerate."

He blinked frantically, trying to control the corpse with his soul, but then he saw a large foot rapidly enlarging in front of him.

"Bang!"

The demonic cultivator's head exploded, sending countless fragments flying everywhere. The headless corpse that had been struggling collapsed instantly, its blood and demonic power converging in one place.

"call!"

After doing everything, Xu Zhenqie suddenly quieted down, as if the last kick had released all the pent-up frustration in his body.

"Ha ha!"

His hearty laughter echoed through the nearby mountains. His previously fluctuating aura suddenly surged, and his previously overwhelming presence instantly stabilized. The chirping of insects returned to the surrounding area.

"This is the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. I have been trapped at this level for more than 30 years. Finally, the bitterness has come to an end, and I have taken another step forward."

Xu Zhenqie stood in the air, silently feeling the surging spiritual power within her body. She had just broken through, and the limit of her dantian's capacity had increased more than threefold. If she continued to cultivate, it would definitely increase even more.

Furthermore, as he listened to the chirping of insects around him, he reached out and casually grabbed something, and the surroundings instantly fell silent as countless insects fell from the trees, dead beyond any doubt.

"Seventh level of Foundation Establishment!"

……

Inside the secret chamber, Xu Yuanlang listened to the sounds outside gradually fade away. He calmed down and realized that the clan leader and the others had successfully eliminated the enemy. He then prepared to make his third breakthrough with peace of mind.

"I have spiritual power, mental state, and a bit of luck. There's no reason why I can't break through."

Upon realizing this, Xu Yuanlang's expression hardened, and he began to circulate his internal energy again.

At the summit, the vortex of spiritual energy reappeared, and the Grand Elder stared at it with a look of utter bewilderment in his eyes.

"Once is good luck, twice is extremely lucky, and this is the third time."

The Grand Elder shook his head helplessly; he felt he couldn't see through Xu Yuanlang's Foundation Establishment at all.

"Forget it, Elder, everyone has their little secrets."

The clan chief descended from the sky with a triumphant smile on his face.

"If word gets out that he broke through, some people with ulterior motives might spread it as him possessing a treasure, and then..."

"Haha, now that I've broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, I can handle most troubles."

The clan leader patted his chest with immense confidence, and the Grand Elder, deciding not to say anything more, instead asked a question.

"Who attacked us this time? Does the chieftain have a plan?"

"The two demonic cultivators are completely unfamiliar, they must be from out of town. But I know the first two guys. Although they concealed their identities, the aura that emanated from their very bones couldn't fool my nose. The Grand Elder should know that, right?"

The elder nodded, his expression showing a hint of anger.

"Those two bastards from the Ma family."

"The Li family must be behind us. The two families together have six Foundation Establishment cultivators, while we and the Dian family only have four. Even if Yuan Lang breaks through, there will only be five of us."

We're still at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the Li family has been restrained recently and doesn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise we'd be in a very passive position.

The Grand Elder did not deny this, but he was also very clear about one thing.

"Chieftain, don't worry, we'll have our chance."

"Let's hope so!"

As the two were discussing, streaks of light slowly appeared in the distance, like golden swords piercing through the darkness.

"It's dawn!"

Just as the two were watching the sunrise, turmoil broke out in the far north.

First, groups of early-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts, resembling rats, crawled out from underground. Their eyes were bloodshot as they frantically devoured all the surrounding shrubs, grass, bark, and fallen leaves.

Soon, one mountain after another was completely devoured, and many demonic beasts that guarded the area and protected the spiritual flowers and herbs directly engaged in a great battle with them.

However, there were too many of these monsters, densely packed like a tide. Even a late-stage first-tier monster felt its scalp tingle when faced with these creatures that could normally crush dozens with a single stomp, and could only helplessly flee.

The herd of beasts carried them southward, a vast and mighty tide.
