NOVEL WEB Chapter 274 Accelerate, Accelerate!
Hong Yunzi felt an unparalleled amazement; this sword was simply too beautiful. If it were another Golden Core, it might not withstand it, but he...
It was at this moment that his head suddenly ached!
That was the Shocking Spirit Stab. Meng Yu had finally launched such a strike at the most crucial moment.
In a battle between masters, any negligence is fatal!
The next moment, Hong Yunzi could no longer focus on Meng Yu. Not only did his figure flee outward, but his long sword sealed the waning moon, and his left hand suddenly turned pitch black, all to grasp that flicker!
He finally managed to block it, but three fingers flew up into the air and turned into powder before they could reach the ground.
He was lucky because Meng Yu was in a rush to leave and did not continue his attack; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Divine Refinement?"
Three companions flew to Hong Yunzi's side, looking at their brother in shock.
"Everyone, be careful. This guy is a Soul Refining Master!"
Hong Yunzi took a deep breath. He had seen mental attacks and corresponding Magical Treasures, but someone like Meng Yu who would pick the most critical moment to strike, refining movements to the peak without halting his form, was truly terrifying.
However, everything was not over yet!
On the third day, Meng Yu rushed near a Golden Core of the Eternal Night Palace and engaged in a series of sword battles. This time, neither side won, but the Golden Core later told his juniors that if they hadn't sent him so many videos of Meng Yu's battles and analyses, plus he had a Superior Spirit Sword, he would have lost!
On the fifth day, Meng Yu still challenged a Golden Core of the Eternal Night Palace. After a hundred rounds, Meng Yu injured the opponent's shoulder with a sword, then turned and ran, avoiding the entrapment of the Eternal Night Palace.
On the tenth day, a Golden Core from the Eternal Night Palace was returning to the sect to report, but encountered Meng Yu on the way and after a fierce battle, the Golden Core started to retreat and escaped to a nearby market for safety.
In just ten days, four major battles: Meng Yu challenging the Golden Cores resulted in one draw and three victories!
And with each, Meng Yu's swordsmanship improved!
Everyone was utterly creeped out!
They weren't afraid of a strong opponent, but this matter wasn't fun at all.
To them, it was as if he could have killed you but didn't, playing with you like a cat with a mouse!
The positions of the eight Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace were secretive, and even with possessions like the Invisibility Talisman and the Pei Leaf among others, everyone was more cautious after the death of True Sage Puyi, never appearing too openly, yet Meng Yu found their locations time after time!

Also, Meng Yu had a companion, Hua Miaochai, a Middle-Stage Golden Core skilled in Formation, making her an excellent aide perfectly suited for Meng Yu.
Since Meng Yu could find the isolated Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace time after time, he could have easily taken Hua Miaochai with him to kill them. However, this madman chose to challenge them alone repeatedly!
What's more, he didn't even seek to kill; in the last two encounters, he didn't use the Shocking Spirit Stab, but simply fought ordinarily, as relentless as a mad dog.
What does this imply? He was using everyone to enhance his own combat strength!
Look, that's Meng Yu's current level of combat prowess.
First, an incredibly powerful Divine Sense that allowed him to detect everyone's presence time and again, though many people believed that Meng Yu probably relied on Magical Treasures. However, the Shocking Spirit Stab he executed proved he possessed mental cultivation techniques!
You should know that the third Golden Core not only cultivated spiritual Cultivation Techniques but also possessed a Third Grade Magical Instrument, the Seven Slaughter Soul-Devouring Bell. When he battled with Meng Yu, the formidable Seven Slaughter Soul-Devouring Bell couldn't shake Meng Yu's Divine Soul. However, it confirmed that Meng Yu's spiritual strength was even stronger than his.
Soul Refining Master!
Second, the Four Great Sword Intents.
A thirty-year-old youth had mastered four different Sword Intents during his Foundation Establishment. Although these Sword Intents originated from basic Swordsmanship, it was as if someone had combined the Arhat Fist and the Pipa Hand—a robust and a gentle cultivation technique combined to dominate the Martial World. Meng Yu's combination was impressive too. Moreover, if he displayed another technique, no one would be surprised. Take his "Sticky Clothes Eighteen Falls," for example—a simple technique, yet he practised it so well that many times people thought they had hit him, only to miss.
Third, his speed of escape. Everyone guessed he had a Magical Treasure for that, but what if he was just relying on his flying ability?
As for the fourth point, the Burning Lamp Technique, Meng Yu never used it again, but everyone shuddered at the memory of a Blood Demon Sect Elder who was burned for ten days and nights before death ensued.
Furthermore, some conclusions were slowly drawn—solid Spiritual Energy, proficient in Formation, extremely strong combat will, never cowering in a life-and-death fight, and so forth!
Right, up till now in the battle, the Eternal Night Palace had not seen Meng Yu use his own Magical Treasure!
Even his weapon was just an ordinary Fiery Rock-solid Sword, yet he chose to combat everyone with it!
The upper echelons of the Eternal Night Palace were also tremendously vexed, the Nascent Soul True Monarch had yet to speak.
Quite normal, how would a Nascent Soul True Monarch react if he made a move against someone in Foundation Establishment? Just guess how Meng Yu's Divinity Transformation father would respond?
The siege by Golden Cores was actually already overstepping the boundaries!
On the sixteenth day, the seven Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace learned their lesson and prepared traps close by for Meng Yu, but who would have thought that on that day, Meng Yu would travel a thousand miles away to a marketplace and kill a False Core of the Eternal Night Palace!
You all send eight Golden Cores to besiege him, yet expect him to engage in a head-on war with you?
On the twentieth day, Meng Yu broke into a crucial sub-branch of the Eternal Night Palace, throwing the place into chaos once more.
On the thirtieth day, Meng Yu sneaked into a Second-Order Minor World!
The worst fear of the Eternal Night Palace had come to pass—this shameless Foundation Establishment practitioner dared to do that!
Central Plains and the Immortal Sect were no different, under the large sects there were also many Minor Worlds.
These Minor Worlds, some under the protection of laws existing alongside Central Plains, some completely settled in some semi-planes, possessed sizable resources. And the Minor World that Meng Yu broke into had vast mineral veins!
Meng Yu discarded his battered Fiery Rock-solid Sword and charged directly into this Minor World. The Golden Cores pursuing him stopped in their tracks because if they entered, it would mean certain death!
Outside, they could suppress Meng Yu with their Golden Core Cultivation, but inside the Second-Order Minor World, ten Golden Cores wouldn't be enough for Meng Yu to kill. There, in that world, he was the most formidable entity!
This Minor World, due to remaining laws, only allowed people below Second Order to enter. Previously, the Eternal Night Palace wasn't worried at all; if any other Foundation Establishment intruders came in, they had more Foundation Establishment practitioners inside and could still eliminate the enemy. But who could have expected that now, this shameless Meng Yu would rush in.
What to do, what to do?
This is a Foundation Establishment expert who could stand his ground against eight Golden Cores!
Who could ensure, in a fight with him, that they wouldn't receive a sword strike? Or say, could only trade blow for blow! But inside there, once injured, that would be a death sentence!
A bone-chilling dread surged into the hearts of the Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace.
