Chapter 494 -293 Enchantment_2

Without using her defense treasure, the power of the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun” was more than enough.

With a loud “boom,” the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun” emitted a dazzling light.

Even though Fang Lu was acutely aware of the danger, she was surrounded by Jue Tu, the Iron Corpse, as well as a large number of Three-headed and Six-armed Iron Corpses—particularly influenced by the murderous intent of Jue Tu, she reacted a fraction too slowly. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

That split second delay was the difference between life and death.

In the confined space, it was a disadvantage for both Li Shiming and Fang Lu, and who would live or die depended on whose techniques were more fierce and swifter.

The Third Grade Sword Base turned into a bomb and struck Fang Lu’s body, breaking through her Spiritual Power Pattern defense and penetrating into her body, entering through the ribs, and hitting her heart.

At such a close distance and with the assistance of IBMz15, how could Li Shiming possibly miss—especially when IBMz15 had calculated the attack route numerous times beforehand?

The Third Grade Sword Base Bomb also contained Thunder Sword Intent; after being struck in the heart, Fang Lu managed to break free from the murderous assault, but it was all too late.

She looked incredulously at the wound appearing on her lofty chest, feeling a sense of helplessness that should not be present in a Golden Core cultivator, drained of all strength. She tried to mobilize the last of her Spiritual Power, but the destruction of her heart, coupled with the paralyzing Sword Intent, rendered her unable to unleash even a final strike.

At that moment, the entire cave shook—this was caused by a powerful cultivator attacking the defense of the cave from outside.

The astonishing fluctuation of Spiritual Power that erupted within the cave must have been detected by the cultivators outside, hence such an action.

Li Shiming casually put away the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun”; he didn’t retrieve the Corpse-Refining, for with his current status, who would dare to comment on his refining such corpses?

A moment after he put away the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun,” the Array of the cave was forcibly broken.

A figure rushed in through the breached door and caught sight of Li Shiming surrounded by a pile of refined corpses.

This person was none other than Elder Zhao, who, although some distance from Li Shiming’s cave, had been attentively monitoring the situation at Li Shiming’s abode.

Upon noticing that there was a visitor at Li Shiming’s place, he followed to the outside of the cave.

Invited by Elder Su and Elder Ma to protect Li Shiming’s safety, he naturally did not take it lightly.

Upon sensing the intense Spiritual Power fluctuations from within the cave, he did not hesitate to forcibly break the Formation of the cave.

Seeing that Li Shiming was unharmed, Elder Zhao’s worry subsided. Then, upon seeing the twelve Iron Corpses surrounding Li Shiming, he shook his head, abandoning the idea of persuading Li Shiming to switch to the Sword Cultivator path.

His gaze finally rested on Fang Lu, who still stood, although her life force had vanished.

The reason she could still remain upright was due to the Corpse-Refining surrounding her, their arms holding onto Fang Lu without release.

“Did you kill her?” Elder Zhao, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, asked incredulously.

Even though Fang Lu was dead, her body’s residual aura was enough for Elder Zhao to discern her cultivation level when she was alive.

Fang Lu, like Elder Zhao, was a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator.

And Li Shiming was only at Half-step Golden Core, yet he managed to slay a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator head-on.

Such acts of slaying enemies beyond one’s own cultivation realm are extremely rare in the Cultivation World.

Usually, such deeds of slaying an enemy from a higher realm are achieved by lower-level cultivators holding powerful talismans or peculiar treasures that can unleash a lethal blow.

But a talisman or peculiar treasure capable of killing a Golden Core cultivator in a single blow could only be made by a Nascent Soul ancestor; they are Fourth Grade Spirit Items, how could they fall into the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator so easily.

“She ambushed me, and I killed her in self-defense!” Li Shiming didn’t want to elaborate too much; the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun” was his trump card, and until he found a weapon of greater power, he had no intention of revealing it.

“Did you take her space ring and see if there’s anything inside that could prove her identity?” Elder Zhao pondered briefly. He did not ask any more questions but pointed to the space ring on Fang Lu’s finger.

The spoils of the fight naturally belonged to Li Shiming, the one who had slain her.

In this regard, Elder Zhao would not intervene. He could not afford the reputation of snatching the belongings of the younger generation.

“She said her name was Fang Lu and that she’s from the Skywalk Trading Company!” Li Shiming spoke to Elder Zhao while using divine thought to retrieve the space ring.

At this time, the master of the place, Alchemy Master Tong Yun, also rushed over. The formation here had been forcefully broken, and the incident had been reported to him.

“What has happened here?” Master Tong Yun asked in shock as he walked in. Upon seeing the corpse of Fang Lu, he asked in horror: “Has Fang, a fellow from the Skywalk Trading Company, been killed?”

“Master Tong, I was about to ask you, how could Fang Lu, a member of the Skywalk Trading Company, gain access to Fire Cloud Valley?” Elder Zhao asked bluntly, upset because Li Shiming had almost been harmed.

Though Master Tong Yun’s status was indeed noble, Elder Zhao would not hesitate to slay him on the spot if something had happened to Li Shiming here.

Fire Cloud Valley had invited Li Shiming; if Li Shiming encountered trouble within Fire Cloud Valley, it naturally pointed to an issue with Fire Cloud Valley.

It was only because Li Shiming was still alive that Elder Zhao was merely questioning him.

“Fang Lu is the daoist couple of the Supervisor Feng Yi from the Skywalk Trading Company, and there’s a cooperative relationship between Skywalk Trading Company and Fire Cloud Valley!” Master Tong Yun hurriedly explained, having guessed what had happened based on the state of the dwelling.

He wasn’t considering Fang Lu’s death; instead, he was more concerned about Li Shiming being attacked.

However noble Fang Lu’s identity was, it didn’t compare to Li Shiming’s current standing.

“Fang Lu, the Fang Lu from the Yin Yang Sect? You actually allowed a devil cultivator to enter Fire Cloud Valley and attack an alchemy master who was attending the Alchemy Conference?” Elder Zhao also remembered who Fang Lu was and nearly roared his words.

He finally understood why Fang Lu had attacked Li Shiming. Such devil cultivators were extremely radical in their actions, and they might act on a whim if something displeased them.

Fang Lu was a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, and in facing Li Shiming, a Half-step Golden Core cultivator, she must have been confident that she could control him.

“This matter has nothing to do with Fire Cloud Valley; we also had no idea that Fang Lu would do such a thing. The fact that Fang Lu is a devil cultivator of the Yin Yang Sect is also news to me!” Master Tong Yun certainly knew he couldn’t admit to this matter and repeatedly denied any responsibility.

“Uncle Zhao, it was my carelessness. Fang Lu said she was from the Skywalk Trading Company and wanted to discuss business with me. I thought since we were in Fire Cloud Valley and it was the time of the Alchemy Conference, nothing would happen. But I didn’t expect Fang Lu to use enchanting techniques on me after I refused to join the Skywalk Trading Company,” Li Shiming interrupted Elder Zhao’s interrogation, then explained.

“Devil cultivators have peculiar temperaments; it’s normal that you lacked experience!” Elder Zhao said, shaking his head.

He looked at Fang Lu’s corpse again and glanced at the Corpse Refining in the hall, realizing that Fang Lu probably wouldn’t rest in peace even in death.

After all, Fang Lu had encountered Li Shiming, who took great interest in refining corpses; she would likely become one among the many he refined.

He wasn’t concerned with Li Shiming refining corpses, considering the esteemed status of an alchemy master and their typically weaker combat capabilities, having additional means of self-protection was justified.

Of course, when Elder Zhao looked at Fang Lu’s corpse again, his judgment of Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master’s combat capabilities being weak, wavered.

“It’s fortunate that Elder Zhao took action, or else if something had truly happened to Master Li, Fire Cloud Valley would have committed an unforgivable error!” Master Tong Yun assumed that Fang Lu had been killed by Elder Zhao and spoke with lingering fear. He thought of another matter and quickly reminded them, “Elder Zhao, Master Li, that Supervisor Feng Yi has a False Infant cultivation. He’s one to hold grudges, and I fear trouble may follow!”

“No need to wait for him to come; the Shushan Sect is not to be trifled with. I will report back to the sect, and surely our sect will confront the Skywalk Trading Company!” Elder Zhao was not too worried about the False Infant Supervisor Feng Yi of the Skywalk Trading Company and spoke in a grave tone.

Forget about a False Infant; even a Nascent Soul Ancestor wouldn’t be a concern, as several Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Shushan Sect could easily suppress the Skywalk Trading Company.

Besides, Li Shiming was the Guest Elder of the Beishu Trading Company. Now that he had made enemies with the Skywalk Trading Company for not joining them, if the Beishu Trading Company did not intervene, how would they continue to operate in the future?
