Chapter 409 The Astute Heartless Monk
Just as the fist was about to strike, Lao Cao summoned a high-grade third-tier Bloodthirst Cauldron, enveloping himself within it.
With a muffled thud.
The Blood Cauldron, along with Old Cao, was instantly blasted out of the sea and soared into the sky.
"No! Wait!"
I'm wrong!
Please spare my life!
I'd do anything for you!
Old Cao's skull was cracked open, and his brains splattered everywhere, yet he still endured the immense pain and begged for mercy.
Zhang Xuanchen, who had been waiting for a long time, was not going to listen to his nonsense.
"Go to hell and repent!"
"A hurricane rises from the heavens, a sword presses down on ten thousand mountains!"
A towering cliff reaching to the heavens!
Zhang Xuanchen's fiery body had long since disappeared, replaced by extremely sharp wind-attribute spiritual power.
Waaah—!
The weather, which was originally sunny and calm, suddenly turned into a strong wind!
Countless wind blades attacked Old Cao.
Old Cao burned his lifespan, achieving the ultimate sublimation.
Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and the wind blades were endless.
It was too late to reverse the situation.
Pfft!
His right arm was severed by a wind blade, and the falling snow stained the sea surface with crimson.
"No! Spare my life!"
I don't want to die!
*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*
……
As the wind blades continued to cut, Lao Cao's body was sliced into pieces.
He was trying to escape with his soul.
But Zhang Xuanchen grabbed him.
He also grabbed a black storage ring.
The Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire surged forth from his hand.
"No! Please..."
Old Cao's voice had barely escaped when he was reduced to ashes by the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire.
After killing the two, Zhang Xuanchen flashed to Luo Lingshuang's side.
The Great Sage also burst forth from the deep sea.
The seawater on my body evaporated instantly.
He said, "Xuan Chen, if you ask me, you and Ling Shuang shouldn't have made a move."
I also wanted to use these two heretical cultivators to hone my innate skills.
Looking down at the pale red seawater beneath him, the Great Sage pouted, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled lightly: "Don't be angry."
Evil cultivators are treacherous and cunning; we must not give them a chance to react, otherwise unexpected things may happen.
The wise thing to do is to kill him with swift and decisive action.
Moreover, if you want to hone your innate skills, Shuang'er and I can do it too.
It will take another half month to reach the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.
"For the next two weeks, we won't practice magic; we'll just help you hone your innate skills, okay?"
Now that he has reached the late stage of the third rank, the Great Sage's strength far surpasses that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
He was even stronger than Zhang Chongxian, who had cultivated a seventh-level technique.
Zhang Xuanchen alone was no match for him; he could only fight Luo Lingshuang together.
As expected, the Great Sage was overjoyed upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words:
"Excellent! Excellent!"
During this period of travel, you are either cultivating or on the path of cultivation.
I'm so bored.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang joked, "I think your honing of your talent skills is just a pretense."
It's really boring.
"Hehehe, we have them all, we have them all."
"Hahaha!"
……
In the distance, the monk Wuxin watched the two people and the monkey chatting and laughing.
He couldn't help but swallow.
Cold sweat streamed down my forehead.
It was as if I had seen something incredible.
My body was trembling.
He thought to himself:
Zhang... Zhang Xuanchen!
How could that be?
How is that possible!
Two years ago, I went to the Zhang family to attend their wedding banquet with my master. Zhang Xuanchen was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
"How come you've already reached the Golden Core stage?!"
The monk Wuxin's lips trembled incessantly.
I just can't figure it out.
The CPU is almost overheating.
Perhaps he had already figured out the reason.
That is, Zhang Xuanchen has been hiding his cultivation level and talent.
He doesn't have dual spiritual roots, but rather... the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root!
Only someone with such talent could break through to the Golden Core stage before the age of thirty!
He just didn't want to believe it.
"What to do? What to do?"
We've stumbled upon such an earth-shattering secret!
Will I be killed to silence me?
What to do? What to do?
surrender!
Yes! Surrender!
You can't go wrong by recognizing Zhang Xuanchen as your boss!
A prodigy with a celestial spiritual root!
In the future, it will surely take me across the endless sea to the Immortal Continent of the Central Plains!
No wonder Luo Ling Shuang took a liking to him!
pass!
Everything works now!
Xuanjing observed the change in Wuxin's expression and said, "Brother Chen, Lingshuang."
That monk was present at your wedding.
He is a Buddhist disciple of Tianluo Temple.
The number one among the younger generation, he is not even a hundred years old, yet he already has the cultivation level of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next abbot of Tianluo Temple.
He has already recognized you.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen frowned slightly.
Tianluo Temple is located in the westernmost part of the Tianlong Sea, bordering the Western Wilderness Gobi and the Xuanwu Sea.
It's quite far from Zhangjia.
In over four hundred years, the Zhang family has had no more than three interactions with Tianluo Temple.
There was no enmity between them.
He nodded to Luo Ling Shuang and the Great Sage, then flashed behind the monk Wu Xin.
Seeing Wuxin still in a daze, Zhang Xuanchen's heart stirred.
It seems the news that I am a Golden Core cultivator has really shocked this guy.
He reached out and placed his hand on Wuxin's shoulder.
The latter was so frightened that his body stiffened.
He immediately distanced himself from the two.
Before Zhang Xuanchen could speak, she opened her storage ring, held a golden relic, and knelt before Zhang Xuanchen.
"Boss! Don't kill me!"
I'm a good person!
This is an ancient relic that I obtained in a secret realm in the western Gobi Desert.
Unfortunately, my strength is limited, and I am unable to unravel the mystery within!
Now I offer it to the boss as a way of thanking him for saving my life!
Of course, a small relic cannot repay the elder brother's life-saving grace.
Today, I have no intention of acknowledging the Zhang family head as my superior.
From now on, I will obey the boss's every command!
As he spoke, he turned and looked up at the sky, making a solemn oath to the heavens:
"I have no intention of making another oath. From this day forward, I, Wuxin, am the younger brother of Zhang Xuanchen, the patriarch of the Zhang family of Xuanxiao Mountain."
Never harm the interests of the Zhang family, obey Zhang Xuanchen's orders, and never expose Zhang Xuanchen's secrets.
I am willing to dedicate myself to the Zhang family until my dying breath!
If anyone disobeys, their soul will be destroyed, and they will never be reincarnated!
Heaven will bear witness!
Ok?
The monk Wuxin's series of bizarre actions left Zhang Xuanchen somewhat bewildered.
But in an instant, I realized the reason.
This person has discovered their secret and is afraid they will kill someone to cover it up.
Only then did he take the initiative to swear an oath to Heaven.
He's a smart person, though.
Looking at the ancient Buddha relic in Wuxin's hand, Zhang Xuanchen showed no politeness whatsoever.
He waved.
The relic instantly appeared in his palm.
His goal is the relics; there's nothing to hide.
He put the relic into his Myriad Spirits Ring, looked at Wuxin kneeling on the ground, and said expressionlessly:
"Oh? You are a Buddhist disciple of Tianluo Temple."
The future abbot.
Are you really willing to be my subordinate?
"If it were anyone else, I would rather die than do it!"
"But if I were to become the subordinate of two monstrous geniuses with celestial spiritual roots, I would be willing!" Wuxin paused after saying this.
He met Zhang Xuanchen's deep eyes.
He took a deep breath and continued, "To be honest..."
The reason I acknowledge you as my boss is twofold: firstly, because I'm afraid of dying.
Secondly, we want to go further.
Go and see a wider world.
At Tianluo Temple, unless a great opportunity comes along...
"Becoming a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator is the limit of my life!"
