Chapter 258: The Rules of the Purple Qi Space! Xuanming Illusion Blade! The Powerful Barbarian God Shield! The Ghostly Shadow Stab
No one expected that someone could break through their cultivation limits to reach the Golden Core stage within the Purple Qi Space.
This kind of behavior violates the rules of the Purple Qi Space and will inevitably lead to suppression and extermination by the space itself!
Boom!!!!!!
As the guardian ignited his own life force and unleashed a momentum beyond the False Core stage, the previously calm Purple Qi Space began to grow turbulent.
Purple clouds appeared in the sky, with purple lightning flickering within them.
At the same time, the guardian felt that he had been locked onto by the Purple Qi Space. Even if he retracted his power and returned to the False Core stage, it would be futile.
For the Purple Qi Space, the consequence of challenging its rules is death!
However, the Purple Qi Space needed time to unleash its thunder.
Given the current situation, it would take at least a quarter of an hour.
That should be enough.
The guardian was confident that he could kill Qin Wang within that quarter of an hour.
A mere False Core cultivator, combined with five ghost cultivators—what's there to fear?
The guardian, having recovered his Golden Core strength, was confident.
"Kid! You're dead!"
The guardian stared intensely at Qin Wang, already planning to torment him thoroughly. Otherwise, the price he paid with his life would be too cheap for Qin Wang.
Boom!!!!!! The vast power spread out, creating a whirlwind centered around the guardian.
Even Helian Xianyun and the others below could not withstand this terrifying pressure and had to retreat a distance.
"Is this the power of a Golden Core cultivator?"
"So strong, truly too strong."
"Is the Golden Core cultivator really this powerful? Why haven't I felt it before?"
"Of course, your own guardian wouldn’t use his full strength against you."
"Looks like Qin Tiedan is done for."
"Even if he can trade a False Core cultivator's life for a Golden Core cultivator’s, he can be proud."
The crowd murmured.
Helian Xianyun's eyes sparkled with a strange light.
In her view, Qin Wang shouldn’t die so easily.
Perhaps Qin Wang would sacrifice his ghost cultivators, allowing them to also break the rules of the Purple Qi Space and then defeat the guardian?
Not just Helian Xianyun, but some of the more astute cultivators from Central Continent also considered this possibility.
Since the guardian of Xiao Chunan could sacrifice himself to break through to Golden Core strength, why couldn’t Qin Wang’s ghost cultivators?
"Are you so confident?"
Qin Wang chuckled lightly, looking at the guardian with interest.
"Perhaps you want your ghost cultivators to also unleash their original strength, but I tell you, that's courting death. Challenging the rules of the Purple Qi Space will inevitably bring down terrifying lightning. The mere aura of a Golden Core cultivator has already angered the Purple Qi Space. If another one comes, the lightning will strike instantly and kill you all!"
The guardian sneered.
With this statement, everyone understood.
No wonder this guardian was so arrogant.
What they didn't know was that previously, Elder Wang, the Nascent Soul guardian of Xiao Chunan, had tested this in the Purple Qi Space. Just forcibly emitting a Nascent Soul aura immediately provoked the wrath of the Purple Qi Space.
If Elder Wang hadn’t reacted swiftly and expended tremendous cost to forcefully exit the Purple Qi Space, he might have perished within it.
That’s why Xiao Chunan's guardian was so reckless.
Because at this moment, he was the only Golden Core cultivator and could annihilate anyone!
Qin Wang shook his head with a smile.
"Why waste my ghost cultivators on you?"
Qin Wang shrugged and withdrew the five ghosts.
This sudden action left everyone stunned.
Was he giving up resistance and surrendering?
The guardian frowned upon seeing Qin Wang’s action.
Could there be a trap?
But!
Even if there were a trap, so what!
In the Purple Qi Space, he was the only Golden Core cultivator, making him the strongest in the space at this moment!
"Die!"
The guardian wasted no time and launched a full-force attack.
"Xuanming Illusion Blade!"
The guardian formed a seal with his hands and struck towards Qin Wang.
Whoosh! A semi-transparent black blade materialized and flew towards Qin Wang.
This blade seemed capable of slicing through space.
In an instant, it reached Qin Wang.
At that moment, a shield appeared in front of Qin Wang, seemingly to block the attack.
"Useless! You’re definitely dead!"
The guardian roared in excitement.
Having violated the rules of the Purple Qi Space, he would be exterminated by it, and Qin Wang was the main culprit.
So he harbored deep hatred towards Qin Wang.
Boom!!!!!! The black blade struck the shield in front of Qin Wang.
The terrifying shockwave spread out, forcing the onlookers below to raise their defenses to withstand the impact.
Soon, the steam from the intense explosion dissipated.
Everyone could see Qin Wang hovering in the air, unscathed.
In front of Qin Wang was a shield with ancient patterns, obviously an extraordinary item.
Indeed, being able to block a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator, it could not be ordinary.
Qin Wang was very satisfied with the Barbarian God Shield’s defensive capability.
The black blade was completely unable to move the Barbarian God Shield and was easily blocked.
The guardian was stunned. He never expected that Qin Wang could withstand his full-force attack.
This was the power of a Golden Core cultivator, a qualitative leap from the False Core stage.
No matter how talented one was, overcoming the gap between the False Core and Golden Core stages was impossible.
Yet now, Qin Wang had easily blocked his full-force attack—how could this be?
Xiao Chunan and the other two were also dumbfounded.
They never expected Qin Wang to be unharmed.
Not only Xiao Chunan but even Helian Xianyun and the others were completely in shock.
How could this be?
Could it be because of the shield in front of Qin Wang?
Helian Xianyun thought of something and scrutinized the shield in front of Qin Wang.
The ancient patterns seemed to carry an ancient aura.
It must be an ancient treasure.
But this treasure was too powerful.
Able to block the full-force attack of a Golden Core cultivator with just a False Core cultivator.
It was truly terrifying.
"No!!! I don’t believe it!!!!"
The guardian roared angrily, his eyes turning red.
He unleashed all his power in an attempt to break through Qin Wang's defense.
However, all his attacks were easily blocked by the Barbarian God Shield and could not harm Qin Wang.
The onlookers shook their heads and sighed at the sight of the frenzied guardian.
What a pity, a Golden Core cultivator driven mad like this.
But!
No one noticed that beneath the guardian's frenzied exterior, his eyes were sharp and calm.
The guardian knew that these magical attacks could not penetrate Qin Wang’s defense.
Beneath the apparent madness was the final trump card.
"You’re dead!!!"
The guardian stared intensely at Qin Wang, his hatred reaching its peak.
At that moment, the guardian sensed the right opportunity.
Ghostly Shadow Stab!
The guardian suddenly released the attack, stealthily.
No one knew that the Ghostly Shadow Stab had mixed into the many magical attacks.
Whoosh! Qin Wang suddenly felt a hint of danger.
But this hint of danger came and went quickly, before Qin Wang could react, he felt the Barbarian God Shield take a heavy hit.
This attack completely surpassed all previous ones, reaching a higher level.
It was a full-force strike of the late Golden Core stage!
Boom!!!!!! The Barbarian God Shield was on the verge of breaking into many fragments under this attack.
Qin Wang immediately activated the Barbarian God’s Left Hand.
A blood-red giant hand grasped the Barbarian God Shield, halting its imminent destruction.
The onlookers below immediately noticed a pitch-black spear piercing the center of the Barbarian God Shield, with both sides in a battle of power.
A False Core cultivator actually engaging in a power struggle with a Golden Core cultivator?
How could this be?
But this scene was indeed unfolding before everyone’s eyes.
"Die for me!!!"
The guardian roared, his eyes red.
He never expected that even the Ghostly Shadow Stab could not break through Qin Wang’s defense, and Qin Wang was merely a False Core cultivator!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The guardian erupted with all his strength.
Boom! A burst of blood mist exploded.
The guardian had initiated the Blood Sacrifice Technique, willing to destroy his soul and ensure Qin Wang’s death.
Qin Wang immediately felt increased pressure.
However, it was still within his tolerance.
Because of the system's proficiency explanations, Qin Wang had always focused on collecting and practicing various techniques.
As a result, his spiritual power was several times more robust than an ordinary False Core cultivator.
With the Barbarian God’s Left Hand and the Barbarian God Shield as his artifacts, the guardian’s attacks were destined to be useless.
All he needed to do was wait for the Purple Qi Space to unleash its lightning or for the guardian’s Blood Sacrifice Technique to reach its limit.
But!
Xiao Chunan would not give Qin Wang this opportunity!
He had not expected Qin Wang to be so strong that even his guardian’s desperate fight could not harm Qin Wang and was now in a stalemate.
However, this was also an opportunity for Xiao Chunan.
Xiao Chunan immediately ordered the other two guardians.
"Attack! Quickly attack! Kill him!"
Xiao Chunan shouted.
The other two guardians immediately responded.
Although they couldn't break through the limitations of the Purple Qi Space to regain Golden Core strength, their current False Core peak power was still enough to influence Qin Wang.
The two guardians attacked simultaneously.
However, Qin Wang summoned the five ghosts again.
Even if the two remaining guardians fought with their lives, they could barely survive under the assault of the five ghosts.
After a while, the Blood Sacrifice Technique reached its limit.
The Ghostly Shadow Stab lost its sustaining power and fell from the air, while the guardian who forcibly broke through to Golden Core was obliterated.
In the end, Qin Wang emerged victorious in this battle.
The remaining two guardians were left to be toyed with by the five ghosts.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Chunan finally made a decision.
He gritted his teeth and directly knelt before Qin Wang.
"Iron-Hearted Brother, please, have mercy and spare me."
Xiao Chunan pleaded with Qin Wang.
Everyone below was silent at this sight.
After all, Xiao Chunan was considered a top talent from Central Continent, and the leader among them.
Now that Xiao Chunan was kneeling and begging for mercy from Qin Wang, it was a slap in the face to everyone else and made them lose face.
But when it came to life and death, people couldn't complain.
Putting themselves in Xiao Chunan’s position, if kneeling could buy a chance at survival, they would do the same.
Cultivators seek longevity.
A moment of disgrace meant nothing to them.
Of course, sincere and righteous individuals were not non-existent, but they were rare.
Helian Xianyun's eyes sparkled with new thoughts.
Qin Wang looked at Xiao Chunan and sighed.
"If I had known it would come to this, why bother at the beginning?"
Qin Wang said.
"I was blind, and I underestimated you. Iron-Hearted Brother, please…"
Xiao Chunan’s face was full of despair.
"You’re such a person that doesn’t deserve to remain in this world."
Qin Wang said, then took out the Blue Ghost Sword.
Whoosh!
Twelve Blue Ghost Swords flew towards Xiao Chunan.
"No!!!"
Xiao Chunan hurriedly threw out a jade slip.
Inside was a protective spell given by a Nascent Soul ancestor, a life-saving item.
Bang!
The jade slip shattered, and a golden light emerged, forming a golden shield around Xiao Chunan.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
The twelve Blue Ghost Swords struck the golden shield, bouncing off one by one.
Xiao Chunan, seeing this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up, glaring fiercely at Qin Wang.
"You forced me to use the life-saving artifact given by the ancestor. You’re doomed! The ancestor will come for you! You’re dead! Hahaha!"
Xiao Chunan laughed maniacally.
"This shield can only be broken by a Divine Transformation expert. Moreover, it will last for twelve hours. Qin Tiedan, you made a grave mistake by trying to kill me."
After laughing for a while, Xiao Chunan spoke coldly.
His hatred was intense, as using this life-saving artifact meant his family would abandon him, and they would train a more powerful successor.
This effectively ruined his future.
How could Xiao Chunan not hate?
"Since that’s the case, we shall wait."
Qin Wang said, then looked at the five ghosts.
The five ghosts were ordered to finish off the two remaining guardians.
And Qin Wang did not leave, calmly watching the golden shield containing Xiao Chunan.
Soon, Qin Wang thought of something and looked towards the crowd below.
"Shouldn't you all hand over the Condensed Dan Purple Qi now?"
