Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 100: This Is the Surprise?
Chapter 100: This Is the Surprise?
At the crash site of the flying vessel, smoke and dust permeated the air. Branch Leader Chu’s mask had shattered, and he couldn’t even maintain his shapeshifting technique, revealing his real appearance, which was none other than Commandery Governor Li’s! His left arm was dripping with blood and trembling uncontrollably; it was clearly useless now.
Meng Jingzhou landed, dissatisfied with the outcome. “If only we had another flying vessel.”
Branch Leader Chu heaved in a deep breath of air, wanting to make a few relevant remarks, but he suddenly coughed violently, and wisps of blood crawled to the corners of his eyes. “This smoke is poisonous!” He hurriedly held his breath, rage swelling his heart.
Truly the collaboration between the Innate Diabolic Spawn and Descended Dao Diabolic. First, they trapped me with the Spirit-Energy Disabling Array, then crashed a flying vessel filled with explosives sufficient to open a mine onto me, and even the smoke after the explosion was poisonous! You two are like old female pigs wearing bras—scheme after scheme! [1]
Branch Leader Chu had originally suspected that Lu Yang was a spy sent by the righteous path, prompting the latter to destroy the Lifespan-Reversal Array because it harmed others at the expense of personal gain; he thought that the creed leader had misjudged Lu Yang. But seeing this intricate chain of schemes now, I wouldn’t believe it even if Lu Yang claims to be a spy from the righteous path!
As the flying vessel had damaged the Spirit-Energy Disabling Array, Branch Leader Chu regained his spirit energy. However, he now had to divert part of his spirit energy to suppress the poison seeping into his body! Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to expel the toxins in just a few breaths, but Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou certainly weren’t giving him the chance!
Meng Jingzhou activated his cultivation technique, turning his body into a bronze color, becoming like a ferocious tiger with a roar that reverberated through the forest. “
“Heaven-Shaking Six Forms!” This was Third Elder’s unique art, though Meng Jingzhou had only scratched its surface.
His qi and blood surged, and every punch he hurled was brimming with bursts of force. Each strike lined up seamlessly with the previous one, waves of power booming repeatedly, as all of it greeted Branch Leader Chu’s face.
Despite Branch Leader Chu’s injuries, he was at the Advanced Golden Core Stage, after all. With just one hand, he blocked both of Meng Jingzhou’s fists.
On the other hand, Lu Yang moved like an assassin while holding his Qingfeng Sword, appearing behind Branch Leader Chu without a sound. However, Branch Leader Chu’s reactions were incredibly sharp. Deftly kicking with his right foot, he sent Lu Yang flying again.
Man Gu appeared in the direction Lu Yang was flung and grabbed his legs, spinning on the spot before hurling him back. Lu Yang was like a sharp sword, cutting through the air with his Qingfeng Sword and thrusting it toward Branch Leader Chu’s neck!
Branch Leader Chu swatted Meng Jingzhou away with one palm and nimbly turned around, catching the unstoppable Qingfeng Sword between his elbow and knee!
The trace of the Ancient Barbarian Bloodline in Man Gu was stimulated, causing his body to grow a full size larger. His muscles and bones cracked with strength and his flesh became coarse. He charged forward like a savage elephant that was ready to topple the mountains and overturn the seas!
Branch Leader Chu sneered. No matter how strong you are, do you honestly think you can surpass me, an Advanced Golden Core cultivator?
To his surprise, when Man Gu was about to collide into Branch Leader Chu, Man Gu flipped his palm, shooting out several sharp bamboo skewers toward Branch Leader Chu’s eyes. Branch Leader Chu immediately closed his eyes and dodged the bamboo skewers.
When another group of bamboo skewers emerged behind him, Branch Leader Chu could hear them. He channeled the power of his Golden Core and formed a golden membrane on the surface of his body, blocking out the ambush from the bamboo skewers. Turning around, he saw that the bamboo skewers hadn’t been thrown by anyone—they had been fired automatically by an array.
It was none other than the Automatic Skewering Array invented by Lan Ting, cranked up to maximum power. Lu Yang had arranged for Lan Ting to assist from the shadows to exert both psychological and physical pressure on Branch Leader Chu.
“All of you will die!” Branch Leader Chu pulled out a big scarlet flag from his storage ring; it seemed to have been soaked in fresh blood and exuded a sinister aura. As soon as the blood-red flag appeared, the temperature around them dropped by several degrees.
Branch Leader Chu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood-red flag absorbed its master’s blood, becoming even more eerie. The four of them could vaguely hear the cries of ghosts!
“Can’t you use a proper weapon for once? Why do you always come up with such bizarre and creepy items all the time?!” Lu Yang spat out a mixture of blood and phlegm. With his sword light leaping like a dragon returning to the sea, he sped through the earth with Shrinking Earth and suddenly darted out from beneath Branch Leader Chu!

Branch Leader Chu retreated by a step as the big flag and sharp sword clashed, producing a sonorous metallic sound. Lu Yang danced with his sword, unleashing a flurry of movements that resembled the pattern of a flower, alternating between speeds in a mesmerizing display.
The Heaven-Shaking Six Forms emerged once again as Meng Jingzhou rushed over to provide support. His fist seals thundered, and he landed a series of punches on the flagpole, nearly throwing Branch Leader Chu into disarray.
A massive tree descended from above. With a furious roar, Man Gu smashed the gigantic tree toward Branch Leader Chu!
“Fire Dragon Talisman!” A voice rang from within the forest as Lan Ting swiftly used her blood as ink to draw a talisman.
A crimson fire dragon bellowed and brandished its claws threateningly, its fiery presence scorching the air and alleviating the eerie atmosphere brought about by the blood-red flag.
“There’s a fourth person!” Branch Leader Chu’s eyes bulged in fury as he gnashed his teeth. This traitor Lu Yang! He has really made ample preparations.
“Wind-Control Wave!” Branch Leader Chu gripped the flagpole tightly and suddenly slammed it into the ground with a shout. Shockwaves of sound and energy rolled forth, knocking over the three of them and dispersing the fire dragon!
Branch Leader Chu had gone mad, his eyes bloodshot. If I hadn’t been struck by the flying vessel right at the beginning and didn’t have to allocate some of my spirit energy to suppress the poison, how could I have been put at such a disadvantage?!
He suddenly jumped, thrusting the flagpole at Man Gu, who was lying on the ground. Man Gu hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. He had only managed to move half of his body when the flagpole pierced through his shoulder blade.
Blood flowed from between Man Gu’s teeth, but he did not utter a single cry of pain. The Ancient Barbarian Tribe fears no pain and death!
Branch Leader Chu was relentless, wanting to add another kick to trample Man Gu’s brain into a mush mixture. However, Meng Jingzhou seized the opportunity to toss out a magical artifact with an incensed yell. The magical artifact exploded, throwing Branch Leader Chu off balance and blasting him away. On the other hand, since Man Gu was impaled to the ground, he was unharmed.
Meng Jingzhou had many treasures with him, but they were of too high a grade, so he couldn’t activate or self-detonate them.
Branch Leader Chu kicked a boulder into smithereens, using the force to propel himself back. He retrieved the flag on his way, preparing to swipe it at Meng Jingzhou. Before he could do that, however, the Qingfeng Sword appeared right in front of him, deflecting the big flag. Lu Yang once again engaged in a fierce battle with Branch Leader Chu.
Lu Yang had already mastered the spell Shrinking Earth to perfection. Whenever Branch Leader Chu’s hits were about to strike him, he would shrink himself and evade the attack, enraging Branch Leader Chu so much that he ground his teeth.
Meanwhile, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu regrouped after their setbacks, launching yet another attack. At the same time, Lan Ting drew talismans with both hands. One water and one fire dragon soared into the sky, intertwining as they pounced toward Branch Leader Chu.
Having had enough of such humiliation, Branch Leader Chu planted the flagpole into the ground. The flag flapped in the wind like waves in the sea. Wails and howls of ghosts echoed from within, disrupting the minds of those nearby.
“Ghosts’ Mind Disruption!”
The sounds of the ghosts seemed to possess an indescribable enchanted power that froze the four of them in place. They all felt as if ghosts had entangled themselves around their bodies, preventing them from budging an inch.
Meng Jingzhou’s heart tightened. He wanted to scream and warn everyone that it was just an illusion, but not only was he unable to move, but he also couldn’t even speak.
Branch Leader Chu laughed maniacally. This was his trump card. He initially didn’t want to use it as he found it beneath him. These four brats have pushed me too far! I can’t be bothered about holding back my trump card anymore. I must kill all of them to wipe away my humiliation!
“Break.”
The Qingfeng Sword descended from the sky, as swift as lightning. Before Branch Leader Chu could react, it had already pierced through his head.
Branch Leader Chu stared at Lu Yang in disbelief. He saw Lu Yang’s clear eyes and the mocking smile tugging at his lips. He’s completely unaffected by the illusion!
“Why can you still move... How is this possible...” Branch Leader Chu collapsed backward to the ground, blood streaming from his seven orifices.
Lu Yang thrust his sword into Branch Leader Chu’s dantian and shattered his golden core. Only then could he be assured that Branch Leader Chu was truly dead.
I have no interest in telling a dead person that I had created my own technique, Clear Heart and True Nature Mantra, under Big Senior Sister’s guidance. It allows one to stay true to themselves and see through the essence of things.
He had just begun cultivating with it and still couldn’t discern the essence of things, but resisting the effects of illusionary domains and dreamscapes from cultivators a level higher was still manageable.
Meanwhile, the inspecting officer had been delayed by various matters and had just arrived from a neighboring commandery. He recalled Branch Leader Chu saying that he had a surprise for him and that the new recruit Lu Yang was a rare talent who would definitely shine during the Spring Harvest Festival.
“...This is the surprise Little Chu was talking about?”
Despite having lived for a hundred years, it was the inspecting officer’s first time encountering such a surprise.
