Chapter 143: Chapter 95 This is called Foundation Establishment!_2

Of course, his decision was nothing short of a gamble.

If this genius were ungrateful or heartlessly cruel, his gamble would undoubtedly result in a complete loss.

The two of them were flying through the cave.

"Who dares to intrude into the Six Caverns?"

Just then, a cold shout echoed from up ahead.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators armed with magical instruments stood in the path of Qi Yuan and Old Man Liu.

The leader had a fierce expression on his face, cloaked in an intense aura of bloodshed; he was no stranger to killing.

At that moment, his eyes expressed a look of profound surprise.

Seeing this, Old Man Liu did not interfere but observed Qi Yuan’s reaction.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was nothing to worry about for a Foundation Establishment genius like Qi Yuan.

He could not steal this genius’s thunder.

Qi Yuan took a step forward and bellowed, "Step aside!"

He sent a punch their way, empty-handed. Within a single strike, before the three Foundation Establishment cultivators could react, all of them were crushed to dust.

Qi Yuan acted swiftly without wasting words with them.

Old Man Liu watched with wide eyes in surprise.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Instantly killed with a single punch?

Even a mid-Golden Core cultivator like him may not be able to achieve this with ease, right?

This was not just a genius; this was a peerless talent!

Perhaps, not even the esteemed geniuses would be this strong.

Old Man Liu’s heart pounded heavily.

His gamble was correct; this individual was undoubtedly a peerless talent.

"Your strength is truly horrifying, fellow Daoist. Even this old man feels humbled in your presence!" Old Man Liu praised extravagantly.

His words were modest. The strongest cultivator in the Golden Core Stage was indeed the Golden Core.

To unleash the Golden Core, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance.

Qi Yuan sighed and replied, "It’s really not that impressive. I know a girl in the Foundation Establishment Stage that’s far more powerful than I am."

The person Qi Yuan was talking about was the Ice Mountain Dominator.

She was a real powerhouse.

Hearing Qi Yuan’s words, Old Man Liu felt somewhat perplexed.

If this wasn’t impressive, then what would the entirety of the foundation establishment cultivators, including the esteemed geniuses in the entire empire, amount to?

He was filled with inexplicable emotions and didn’t know how to describe Qi Yuan.

He continued with his adulation, "The friends you keep must certainly be peerless talents as well."

After killing off the Foundation Establishment cultivators and quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Old Man Liu said, "Now that the people here have been killed, the cultivators inside must already know what’s going on. We need to get inside quickly before they have time to prepare."

The two of them hurried on.

Suddenly, Old Man Liu stopped and looked at the cages up ahead, a look of regret on his face.

"The Black Chicken Monster truly deserves to die!"

In cages up ahead, the left was filled with hundreds of naked young women and the right with hundreds of naked young men.

These men and women were locked up here, their eyes vacant and lifeless, having suffered unspeakable horrors.

Even at the arrival of Qi Yuan and Old Man Liu, they did not react, their glances filled with lost hope in life.

Qi Yuan’s expression became indescribable.

Just then, Old Man Liu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something important. Fear washed over him, "Not good, this cavern is guarded by the disciple of the Black Chicken Monster, Master Zuyuan!"

"Master Zuyuan has no qualms about capturing men and women alike, it must be him!"

"Master Zuyuan is in the late Golden Core stage and is the most beloved disciple of the Black Chicken Monster. He is highly skilled and possesses astonishing combat power!"

Old Man Liu was overcome with a sense of impending doom.

Master Zuyuan presiding over this cavern meant they needed to leave at once.

"Fellow Daoist, we must hurry!"

At times like this, escaping was the priority.

Except for god-infants stepping forward, Master Zuyuan was nearly invincible.

"Hehe, quite knowledgeable. It’s a pity it’s too late." A scornful voice echoed as Master Zuyuan appeared in a green robe, appearing sagely.

The men and women in the cages, who initially appeared lifeless, suddenly revealed terror in their eyes, shivering as if they were seeing a demon.

Old Man Liu looked at Master Zuyuan, his face was extremely grim.

Escape... It was too late to escape.

He gritted his teeth and said to Qi Yuan, "I’ll hold him off, you run!"

"I’m Liu Guan, a cultivator from the Bloodless City."

There might still be a chance for one of them to survive this way.

If he were to escape, Master Zuyuan would definitely chase after him.

Qi Yuan, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, could not fend off Master Zuyuan.

So, before his imminent death, he revealed his name in hopes that if Qi Yuan managed to escape, he might take care of his family in gratitude for his noble sacrifice.

As for revealing his identity.

Once he was dead, Master Zuyuan would be able to discern his identity anyway.

Liu Guan gritted his teeth and, ready to sacrifice himself, charged towards Master Zuyuan.

Pity was apparent in Master Zuyuan’s eyes as he sneered at Liu Guan. Without hesitation, he sacrificed his Golden Core.

Given the sudden turn of events, he needed to act swiftly.

When Qi Yuan witnessed this, he became anxious.

"Old Liu is being unjust; he’s trying to steal my kill!"

Lord Withered Wood had instructed him to kill a Golden Core cultivator.

Currently, Master Zuyuan was the only one present; he certainly couldn’t let Liu Guan have him.

He pulled out a vegetable cutter and said, "Kill!"

Qi Yuan’s speed far exceeded Liu Guan’s.

Before Liu Guan even heard Qi Yuan’s battle cry, Qi Yuan had already landed beside Master Zuyuan.

Liu Guan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator be so quick?

However, on seeing Master Zuyuan’s Golden Core, he cried out urgently, "Don’t touch the Golden Core!"

The major difference between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators is the former’s possession of a Golden Core.

The Golden Core represents a cultivator’s mana condensed into corporeal form, with spiritual objects serving as the basis.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator has mana too, but in essence, it’s still a liquid stored in the Dantian.

In contrast, the Golden Core, represents mana converted into a solid form, suspended over spiritual objects.
