Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 464 - 386: Well, Looks Like I Have to Piece It Together Myself!
"It’s me, I’ve come back from the sea to find you."
Chen Nuoyi’s voice had not a shred of emotion.
She was currently trying hard to suppress all the anger in her heart, lest she accidentally kill Wu Sheng outright.
Su Yuan was watching nervously from the side.
It wasn’t that he was worried about Chen Nuoyi getting into trouble, but worried that the girl might strike too hard, causing Feng Xuanxiang’s name to not be spread before Wu Sheng was beaten to death.
Su Yuan had no doubt that Chen Nuoyi could take down a Golden Core.
This girl was a human-shaped Dragon King, and though she had only reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage, she had already maxed out in other areas.
Especially after joining the Mai Gou plan, she underwent nearly two months of painstaking cultivation, during which she not only mastered the divine techniques of the Dragon Race, but also practiced one of the complete Divinity Transformation inheritances of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect—the Blessing of Star Shattering.
Wu Sheng may have reached the Golden Core Third Layer in cultivation, but whether it was in divine techniques or the strength of his body, he was completely overpowered by Chen Nuoyi.
"Feng Xuanxiang! Ten years ago, your parents and those friends and relatives of yours perished in the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, and you dare to appear ten years later as if hurriedly rushing to meet your parents again!"
"Don’t worry, Uncle Wu will fulfill your wish!"
Wu Sheng pressed a hand to his head, cackling maniacally, as if about to launch an assault at any moment.
Then, just as everyone expected him to go all out and assert the might of a Golden Core master, his figure suddenly dashed sideways, smashing through the entrance of the Cloud Whale Tavern, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
He ran away...
A Golden Core was beaten by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and fled without any semblance of dignity.
This sight left Chen Nuoyi momentarily stunned, then the girl’s gaze shifted back to the pirates.
The pirates of the Cloud Whale Pirate Gang shivered all over, instinctively wanting to flee, but Long Wei had already locked onto them.
The girl casually raised her slender hand, sweeping it across the tavern before her.
Invisible bubbles appeared around the pirates, each one encasing them individually.
In the next second, with a mere thought from the girl, all the bubbles burst.
Boom—
Over a hundred explosions, almost merging into one, erupted, sending waves of relentless force crashing into each pirate’s body.
These pirates, most of whom weren’t even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, didn’t have a chance to utter a sound, turning into blood mist in an instant.
In a flash, the once somewhat clean Cloud Whale Tavern was enveloped in a heavy blood mist.
The women, waiters, and tavern owner inside were all splattered head-to-toe with blood, while only Chen Nuoyi remained pristine, emitting a faintly divine radiance amidst the crimson.
Of course, it was a kind of evil divinity.
Chen Nuoyi wasn’t worried about killing so many pirate gang members affecting the spread of Feng Xuanxiang’s name since there were still numerous witnesses alive in the tavern.
As she walked away and people outside the tavern came in to understand the situation, Feng Xuanxiang’s name would spread across Blood Mist Island like the wind.
From this perspective, Wu Sheng no longer had any reason to live.
Chen Nuoyi stepped out from the wall Wu Sheng had crashed through, her steps swift and unsettlingly quiet as she followed the trail of the Golden Core Master.
Su Yuan did not hurry to follow but instead spread his palm in the shadows, manifesting a Corruption Spore, throwing it onto the ground.
Simultaneously, the blood mist inside the Cloud Whale Tavern dispersed at an abnormal speed, seemingly absorbed by some force and merging into it.
High above Blood Mist Island, Wu Sheng was trying to ascend as fast as possible to reach a height no Foundation Establishment Cultivator could ever match, in hopes of leisurely escaping thereafter.
But he had just risen to over two thousand meters, barely reaching the blood mist, when a figure standing on a golden radiance swiftly closed in.
Wu Sheng turned his head in fear, only to see Chen Nuoyi calmly standing behind him, foot on a golden flying sword.
The Golden Core master instantly widened his eyes, incredulous as he said:
"How... how did you manage to catch up to me? You’re just a Foundation Establishment, being stronger than me is one thing, but how can you be faster?"
Chen Nuoyi calmly pointed to the golden flying sword beneath her, saying blandly:
"The power of technology."
As she spoke, the girl’s delicate hand pointed at Wu Sheng, activating the Blessing of Star Shattering.
Wu Sheng, along with the space around him, suddenly froze, his terrified and bewildered gaze solidified on his face.
...
When the scene inside the Cloud Whale Tavern unfolded before the islanders, the entire Blood Mist Island erupted in commotion.
The near annihilation of the Yaksha Pirate Gang, with only Sea Yaksha Wu Sheng escaping pathetically, and the fact that the killer was Feng Xuanxiang, the daughter of the Feng Clan Leader murdered ten years ago, quickly spread.
Though the information they received only included her name, Feng Xuanxiang, and her origins, many people, driven by vivid imaginations, began to piece together a story akin to the "Princess’s Revenge."
A story of jumping off cliffs to meet a wise old man, of training under anonymity, overcoming countless dangers and ultimately avenging her family after ten years.
Such a plot was classic... or at least in the Celestial Law World, where stories like this remained ever-relevant.
"But Wu Sheng escaped. Feng Xuanxiang is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s unlikely she can catch up to him," someone voiced their opinion.
"Of course, even a wreck of a ship has three pounds of nails. Wu Sheng, who has sailed the seas for years, won’t fall easily, even if chased off by a junior," a middle-aged man with Foundation Establishment cultivation replied without hesitation.
But before his words could fade, a droplet suddenly fell from the sky, landing on his bald head.
"Is it raining?"
The middle-aged man instinctively touched the top of his head, bringing his hand before his eyes for a look, and his expression drastically changed.
It was blood!
Pure, spiritual energy-rich blood!
The blood of a Golden Core Cultivator!
He looked up incredulously, witnessing a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.
A torrent of blood descended from the sky like a heavy, refreshing downpour, soaking the people on the streets of Blood Mist Island.
It was followed closely by chunks of mangled limbs, organs, and bits of flesh.
These pieces of flesh fell like hail on the ground, sending people dodging in all directions and quickly clearing a large open space.
On the open ground, the mountain of flesh and debris gradually piled up, and a girl descending from the sky appeared among them, her expression cold but her eyes shining brilliantly golden.
In her hand, she held the terrified head of Wu Sheng, suspending it above the mound of flesh and calmly declared:
"Wu Sheng is dead, the Yaksha Pirate Gang is annihilated, and the Phoenix Soaring Pirate Gang is hereby established."
"From now on, I will stay aboard the flagship of the Yaksha Pirate Gang for thirty-six hours, recruiting crew members. Interested individuals are welcome to come aboard and meet me."
With that, the girl flew towards the port of Blood Mist Island, leaving behind a crowd of stunned onlookers.
Among the crowd, Su Yuan, hidden in stealth, watched the girl’s departing figure and let out a somewhat helpless sigh.
To see the corpse of a Golden Core Cultivator chopped into pieces like this, what a waste.
He had initially planned to create a Golden Core puppet.
Now, he’d have to do it himself, piecing it together bit by bit.
After some thought, however, Su Yuan gave up on attempting to solve the "puzzle."
Given Wu Sheng’s lackluster abilities, turning him into a walking corpse wasn’t very useful. Instead, he could offer the remains as nourishment for the Corruption Spores.
Once the Corruption Spores silently took over all of Blood Mist Island, they might prove to offer unexpected advantages in the future.
