Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Snatching the Kill (Part 1)

“`plaintext

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen locked onto a high-order Golden Core.

Under his control, the Dragon Abyss Sword transformed into a streak of light, striking towards the enemy’s back with the swiftness of thunder that doesn’t allow one to cover one’s ears in time.

As the Flying Sword swept through the sky, it even brought forth the rolling thunder!

There were a total of fourteen thieves cultivators, but only six Golden Cores posed a real threat.

Before taking action, Huangfu Yongchun and Wang Chen’s group of five had already through Divine Sense Communication, assigned their tasks.

This high-order Golden Core was his target!

However, the thieves cultivators reacted extremely fast. Once they sensed the arrival of reinforcements, they immediately scattered in all directions to escape.

Some soared with Sword Light, some reinforced Talismans, others casted Spells—within the blink of an eye, the group of thieves cultivators dispersed as if they were slipperier than loaches.

The high-order Golden Core that Wang Chen locked onto was no exception. Before the Dragon Abyss Flying Sword could come close, he suddenly leapt up, summoning back his Flying Sword which was attacking True Person Sun and others, then wrapped in Sword Light, he shot straight towards the Firmament.

A series of actions flowed as smoothly and rapidly as Moving Clouds upon the water.

Wang Chen’s sure-kill strike ended up missing its mark!

“Pursue!”

Huangfu Yongchun and the other three Golden Cores also failed to strike their foes and saw a multitude of thieves cultivators scatter like birds and beasts under their watch. This peak Golden Core couldn’t help but feel he lost face, thus he angrily energized his qi and bellowed.

Without taking down one or two True Persons’ heads, how could the Qijue Club’s prowess be demonstrated?

And at this very moment, Wang Chen, chasing after the fleeing high-order Golden Core, had already flown several miles away!

The opponent’s Sword Control speed was top-notch; had it been an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, they would have been thrown off long ago.

But Wang Chen had also put in great effort in this area. Merging with the sword, he was as fast as a shooting star. Not only did he not get thrown off by the opponent, but he also closed the distance in just a few breaths.

Feeling Wang Chen’s tenacity, the high-order Golden Core immediately dove towards the mountain forest below.

Wang Chen remained fearless, closely following in pursuit.

The moment the high-order Golden Core touched the ground, he suddenly spun around, his eyes blazing fiercely from behind the mask, and looking up, he thrust Sword Qi towards the pursuing Wang Chen.

“Dare!”

The Sword Light swirling around him shot towards Wang Chen in an instant.

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp resonance, the two Flying Swords violently collided in mid-air, sparking off swathes of light.

They were both repelled back.

Huh?

Wang Chen was secretly alarmed.

The adversary’s cultivation and strength were higher than he had anticipated, and their swordsmanship was profoundly deep—undoubtedly a formidable enemy.

But precisely because of this, Wang Chen instead felt a trace of excitement.

Battle spirit surged!

The stronger the enemy, the stronger he becomes in battle; bullying the weak is meaningless. It’s by sparring with a true strong foe that one can better improve oneself.

Most importantly, the higher the realm of the enemy, the more Heavenly Merit one gains from slaying them!

Keep in mind that Wang Chen is now completely out of Heavenly Merit.

Before his opponent could land, his right palm already shot out in the air: “Tuo!”

The next moment, a translucent faint golden giant palm suddenly appeared out of thin air, its five fingers spreading wide to press down towards the high-order Golden Core like a crushing mountain.

Innate Great Capture!

Although Wang Chen hadn’t spent too much effort on this Golden Core tier Spell, he had still cultivated it to Great Achievement. The giant palm formed by Pill Force extended over thirty feet across and instantly locked the space around his opponent.

This Third Order Spell could be used not just to capture the enemy, but also exerted strong control effects.

Under the might of Innate Great Capture, it would be very difficult for the adversary to successfully cast escape Spells like the Wanli Free or use Magic Treasures or Talismans to flee, which would be greatly constrained.

“`

The high-order Golden Core recognized the danger and was greatly alarmed in his heart.

He never expected that the young-looking Wang Chen could not only match him in swordsmanship but had also cultivated the Innate Great Capture to such an extent, an infamous and difficult technique to master.

This high-order Golden Core immediately felt immense pressure.

He instantly summoned a small shield of an antique design.

The shield expanded against the wind, just managing to block the Great Capture Palm that descended from the sky.

Not just stopping there, it split into seven identical shields in a flash, spinning rapidly to surround the high-order Golden Core, forming an extremely tight defense.

“Junior!”

Now feeling reassured, the high-order Golden Core said sinisterly, “Since you seek death, this old man shall grant it!”

The eight shields he had just summoned were top-tier defensive magical treasures and had been refined over a hundred years. They were already connected with his Divine Soul and intertwined with his life, hardly inferior to a Lifebound Magic Treasure.

Its defensive capability was high enough to withstand a full blow from a primary-tier Nascent Soul!

Even if Wang Chen’s strength was formidable, he was only at the Golden Core level, and the eight magical shields could place him in an utterly invincible position.

Originally, this high-order Golden Core did not want to take out this treasure hidden at the bottom of his box, because shields as magical treasures are the most likely to be damaged in battle and are costly to repair.

But seeing how fierce Wang Chen was, where could he dare to hold back!

Thinking that his attempted sneak attack not only failed but forced him into an embarrassing escape and compelled him to use the eight magical shields, this high-order Golden Core hated Wang Chen to the bone.

He reached out to call back his Flying Sword, his gaze at Wang Chen turning extremely fierce.

Murderous intent was fully disclosed!

Wang Chen, whose Innate Great Capture Palm was blocked by the opponent’s magical treasure, immediately realized the formidable strength of the eight magical shields.

His thoughts flashed like lightning, and he immediately withdrew his right palm.

In the next moment, Wang Chen was holding a pure white, jade-like Five Feather Fan.

The Five Elements Primordial Fan!

With the fan in hand, he swung it vigorously towards the opponent twice.

The five quills of this Fourth Order Spiritual Treasure simultaneously emitted five different colored divine lights, instantly turning into a rainbow of flowing light that struck the high-order Golden Core’s shield.

It was silent and as fast as lightning.

What’s this?

The high-order Golden Core was stunned for a moment.

However, his complexion changed drastically in an instant.

Because under the wash of the Five Elements Primordial Fan’s five-colored divine light, the light from the eight magical shields rapidly dimmed and extinguished, and the power they had been emitting also dissipated simultaneously.

Then they merged back into one small shield, which clattered to the ground with a snap!

At that moment, the high-order Golden Core was dumbstruck!

In just the blink of an eye, he had lost control of the eight magical shields, as if the utensils he used to eat had been forcibly taken by the opponent, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Due to the lengthy refinement, the eight magical shields had almost become a part of his body, so the sudden loss was unbearably uncomfortable and even caused a powerful shock to his Divine Soul.

At that very moment, the Dragon Abyss Sword that had been hovering above Wang Chen burst forth in brilliance, roaring down towards the high-order Golden Core’s head, its Sword Qi sweeping across in all directions!

Simultaneously, Wang Chen performed Shrinking Ground into Inches, and struck towards the opponent’s chest with a palm.

Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

The high-order Golden Core, his spirit seized, was too late to dodge and was heavily slashed on the head by the Dragon Abyss Sword.

A Jade Pendant at his waist exploded in an instant.

But Wang Chen’s left palm had already hit his chest!
