Chapter 1410 - 137: The Taste of the Golden Core
"Heh heh, truly a fool overestimating his abilities. Did he really think he could act with impunity just because he killed Long Kui?"
"Third Young Master never allows anyone to disturb him while he sleeps. If someone disturbs him, they’re as good as dead!"
"Alright, let’s just enjoy the show. No matter how strong that kid is, Third Young Master will definitely kill him with ease given his skills!"
"That’s right, it seems that kid has a storage ring on him. Who knows, maybe we’ll get to share some good stuff later."
For these human cultivators, even their fellow humans can be used to their advantage.
Although their relations with the barbarians and the evil people are very tense.
But that doesn’t stop them from seizing opportunities to strengthen themselves.
According to their thinking, it’s the survival of the fittest.
The ones who die are the weak, leaving resources for the strong is only natural.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a loud collision sounded.
Immediately after, two figures flew out from inside.
One was Ye Guichen, looking somewhat disheveled.
The other had a fierce grin on his lips, it was Third Young Master.
A sword-inflicted gash lay across Third Young Master’s chest. Though it was shallow and posed no harm to him, it was nonetheless a humiliation.
For a Golden Core cultivator to be wounded by someone at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
An utter disgrace!
"Kid, I never imagined you had so many tricks up your sleeve. Those swords of yours are quite impressive, they seem to surpass spiritual artifacts, don’t they? Heh, hand over those ten swords obediently, and I might spare your life!"
Third Young Master brandished an ominous grin, waving his hands to reveal two curved blades in each hand.
Both curved blades were Mid Grade spiritual artifacts.
"Damn, Third Young Master has drawn his blades!"
"I never expected that little brat to have such skills, to actually manage to wound Third Young Master?"
"Damn it, we really underestimated him before."
The crowd broke into a clamor, but no one still believed Ye Guichen could win.
Qin Muge clenched his fists, tense to the extreme.
The battle earlier was extremely brief.
But the clash of experts shook Qin Muge to his core.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Ye Guichen’s cultivation to have grown to such a level.
How long had it even been?
And this place seemed far more perilous than he had imagined.
Qin Muge had initially thought that by coming to a place like this, he merely had to guard against the barbarians and evil people.
But now he realized, his greatest concern should be these fellow human cultivators.
Those barbarians and evil people would fight openly with swords, but these human cultivators used secretive attacks, leaving him defenseless.
"Please, let nothing happen!" Qin Muge silently prayed.
There was no way; he couldn’t get involved.
If Ye Guichen were to die now, escaping would be nearly impossible for him.
Count on the State Preceptor and the Supervisor to rescue him?
By then, even the boiled cabbages would have gone cold.
Meanwhile, Third Young Master was clearly enraged.
He swung his left hand, the curved blade slicing down, as if cleaving the air in two.
The slash from a Golden Core Great Power was like the Yellow River spilling over, making one feel utterly powerless to dodge.
Ye Guichen knew that this was his chance to break through.
Over the years, it had been tough to encounter any true masters.
Now being able to spar with a Golden Core Great Power could do nothing but benefit his cultivation.
Therefore, in this moment, Ye Guichen had no intention of using spells, only desiring to confront Third Young Master head-on with his Sword Dao.
"Ten Sword Formation!"
Ye Guichen barely arranged the Ten Sword Formation in front of him.
However, the strike of a Golden Core cultivator was leagues above any Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even if the opponent were a Foundation Establishment Peak expert, Ye Guichen was confident that this Ten Sword Formation could block them.
But, with Third Young Master’s single slash, the Ten Sword Formation was shattered.
Fierce blade energy swept toward Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen felt a tremendous pressure, and as the Ten Sword Formation crumbled, a gash was torn open on his chest.
Subsequently, Ye Guichen was sent flying.
"With such skills, you dare to act arrogantly in front of me? Ha, utterly clueless!" Third Young Master laughed wildly, stepping forward right up to Ye Guichen.
Then, another blade came slashing down.
This slash was intended to cut Ye Guichen in half.
"Roar!"
The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, seeing Ye Guichen in danger, let out a roar and lunged at Third Young Master from behind.
Third Young Master, as if he had eyes on his back, swept his palm outward.
The massive Four-eyed Dragon Tomb Wolf was also knocked back, it didn’t even get back up.
Seizing the moment, Ye Guichen wiped the blood from his lips, swallowed a healing pill, rapidly channeled his blood and Qi, and slowly stood up.
"Third Young Master, I’ve learned my lesson. Now, is it my turn to strike?"
With those words, Ye Guichen suddenly waved both hands and shouted, "Hundred Swords Resonate!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
In a sound akin to a swarm of bees, over a hundred treasured swords appeared behind Ye Guichen.
Each of these swords was a rare gem, easily surpassing the level of spiritual artifacts at first glance.
Every eye present was glued to the sight.
Originally, the ten swords exceeding spiritual artifacts had already incited envy, but now, with over a hundred flying out, it was enough to make their jaws drop with greed.
Qin Muge was dumbfounded.
He thought it was already quite difficult for Ye Guichen to have ten Spiritual Artifact-level swords, but now, what are ten swords?
Even Third Young Master was stunned for a moment.
Soon after, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, kid, who would have thought you have so many treasures! It looks like I’m going to profit big time today. With all these swords, I can exchange for many good things!"
Third Young Master now had no intention of letting Ye Guichen stay alive; he just wanted to kill him and take his treasures.
With a wave of his right hand: "Yin Yang One Slash!"
A slash came down!
The air in front of Ye Guichen seemed to be split in two, transformed into yin and yang.
The yin side was filled with rolling black mist, akin to a gathering of a hundred ghosts.
The yang side was full of shimmering blade shadows, directly slashing towards Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen’s face was stern, though it was his first attempt at controlling a hundred swords, through that strike just now, Ye Guichen’s realm seemed to show signs of loosening.
Breaking is making!
This is the profound meaning of Sword Dao.
Though Ye Guichen is still unfamiliar with controlling a hundred swords, he is confident he can kill Third Young Master.
"Hundred Swords Cry!"
Ye Guichen waved his hand.
Over a hundred swords directly slashed towards the boundary between yin and yang.
The few dozen swords in the lead instantly shattered that boundary.
The remaining swords, like dense arrow feathers, shot towards Third Young Master.
Third Young Master’s face slightly darkened: "Good lad, never thought you had such methods, but do you think you can kill me with this? Haha, you’ve greatly underestimated the power of a Golden Core cultivator!"
Third Young Master opened his mouth.
A Golden Core was spat out from Third Young Master’s mouth.
This Golden Core is the essence of a Golden Core cultivator, incredibly hard.
As soon as it rushed out, it was like a high-speed bullet, flying through the hundred sword formation with ease, directly shooting towards Ye Guichen’s brow.
Ye Guichen sensed an unprecedented crisis instinctively.
The Golden Core cultivator truly lives up to their reputation!
Ye Guichen’s face darkened, and he no longer cared about killing Third Young Master, instead, he waved his hand again to recall the hundred swords, hoping to block the Golden Core’s fatal blow.
But, the Golden Core was too fast.
Just as those swords were returning, the Golden Core arrived at Ye Guichen’s brow, with a squelching sound, directly piercing through his brow.
The hundred swords spun in mid-air, seemingly out of control, soon crashing to the ground.
Ye Guichen’s body fell stiffly.
Everyone’s mouths gaped wide.
They stared at Ye Guichen, who had a small hole in his brow, nearly frozen.
Too terrifying!
Although they had seen Third Young Master in action before, they had never seen him use the Golden Core to kill.
This Golden Core was a supreme killing weapon.
No matter your myriad of techniques, the Golden Core crushes all, capable of killing with just one move.
No wonder Golden Core cultivators are said to be terrifying.
It’s said that as long as the Golden Core isn’t shattered, a person won’t die.
"Dead, that kid, was quite a talent, to die just like that, what a pity!" someone sighed softly.
Qin Muge was even more dumbfounded.
His eyes turned red, he never expected Ye Guichen to die just like that.
"Brother Ye, you, you..."
They had only been at the Barbarian Demon Arena for less than an hour.
Yet death by misfortune.
"I’ll fight you!" Qin Muge’s eyes turned crimson as he charged at Third Young Master with his sword.
But in front of Third Young Master, Qin Muge was like a chick, utterly unable to withstand.
"Ignorant wretches!" Third Young Master laughed arrogantly, with just a light wave of his hand, he sent Qin Muge flying.
After Qin Muge fell, he tried to struggle up, but his body was already extremely weak.
The gap between realms left Qin Muge with no ability to retaliate.
Third Young Master couldn’t be bothered with Qin Muge, so he summoned his Golden Core back with a wave.
However, after this summons, he found the Golden Core hadn’t flown out from Ye Guichen’s brow.
"What’s going on?"
Third Young Master frowned, his face slightly tense, and with a move of his feet, he was in front of Ye Guichen, reaching out to grab Ye Guichen’s head, trying to twist it off and retrieve his Golden Core.
However, with this grab, Ye Guichen’s head tilted back.
Third Young Master grasped at nothing.
"What’s going on?" Third Young Master felt something amiss, he focused his gaze and saw Ye Guichen smiling at him.
"I heard the most precious thing for a Golden Core cultivator is the Golden Core, and now it seems, it truly lives up to its name!" Ye Guichen’s voice slowly sounded.
Then, under the astonished eyes of everyone, Ye Guichen’s brow was slowly healing.
Before long, the wound on Ye Guichen’s brow was no longer visible.
And that Golden Core, was held in Ye Guichen’s hand, and swallowed it into his stomach.
"The taste of the Golden Core, actually has a bit of bitterness." Ye Guichen raised his head, his smile making Third Young Master shiver.
"How, how are you not dead?" Third Young Master asked in a trembling voice.
Ye Guichen also laughed: "Indeed, if it were someone else, they’d be dead by now. Fortunately, I cultivated the Green Wood Everlasting Technique, which allows me to repair my body in an extremely short time. Haha, your Golden Core was indeed very fast, almost killed me, but I’m still alive, sorry about that!"
With that, Ye Guichen waved.
A hundred swords rose.
Directly stabbed towards Third Young Master’s back.
