Chapter 386 It is impolite not to reciprocate.
Chapter 386 It is impolite not to reciprocate.
The four Golden Core cultivators from the Hundred Swords Pavilion had retreated hundreds of miles away, yet they could still sense the destructive power contained within the lightning.
The shock on their faces deepened, for the sea of lightning churned endlessly, each bolt of lightning containing a terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and rivers and shattering the universe.
"Terrifying!" A real person's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
They had heard of the terror of Nascent Soul experts, but only after witnessing the devastating power of this "divine punishment" level lightning did they truly understand the despairing gap between them.
The lightning seemed to possess a spirit, dancing according to the woman's will, sometimes transforming into a giant dragon coiling, sometimes condensing into a lightning ball that exploded, each change accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the entire world was trembling.
This scene will be unforgettable for everyone present.
They're not stupid. If someone can fight the Hundred Swords Pavilion's leader, who's at the late Nascent Soul stage, to a standstill, then this mysterious female cultivator who wields lightning is probably also at the late Nascent Soul stage.
After being dumbfounded, Manager Hu cried out in despair. Even if he managed to save his life, he would definitely be taken back by the Hundred Swords Pavilion for rigorous interrogation.
Regardless of whether they believe it or not, he has no connection with her. If he were in her shoes, even he, the steward, wouldn't believe it.
No wonder she's always so generous and acts alone; her strength is terrifying, and she's not afraid of any tricks he might use.
Fortunately, he did business honestly, never cheated his seniors, and never had any crooked thoughts; otherwise, he would probably have lost his head long ago.
……
The sect leader's offensive was like a raging storm, each sword strike containing the power to split mountains and cleave seas, relentlessly attacking Chu Lengyu.
However, Chu Lengyu responded calmly, without making any unnecessary movements.
Her eyes were extremely calm.
Today's sparring with the sect leader has yielded considerable gains. This battle cannot be delayed any longer. The Blood Illusion Pearl is merely a disguise; the more she attacks, the easier it will be to expose her weaknesses.
Moreover, the commotion from the battle here is too great, and other Nascent Soul cultivators will likely arrive soon. Although she is at the Divine Transformation stage, she is still injured, so it is not advisable for her to stay here for long.
Thinking of this, her body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, and a powerful spatial force surged out from within her.
This force not only withstood the sect leader's attack, but also distorted the surrounding space.
The sect leader's expression changed slightly. He sensed the spatial power emanating from Chu Lengyu, something he had never anticipated.
The power of space is profound and mysterious, and only those in the Nascent Soul stage can grasp a little bit of it, but the sect leader is focused on the sword path and has not spared any energy to study it.
There were no experts around Jing Honghai who studied the Dao of Space. Not only was his attack interrupted, but he was also somewhat at a loss.
But the sect leader, a veteran of countless battles, quickly regained his composure, and his swordplay became even more ferocious.
However, just as the sect leader was pressing closer, Chu Lengyu suddenly did something that surprised everyone.
Her figure suddenly became blurry, and then she used spatial teleportation to break through the sect leader's blockade.
Everyone present was shocked. They never expected that Chu Lengyu could escape calmly under the sect leader's full-force attack.
It was as if she had foreseen everything and made thorough preparations.
What shocked them even more was that, the moment Chu Lengyu left, she struck back with an invisible sword aura that directly hit the sect leader's chest.
The sect leader's body jolted violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. A deep wound appeared on his chest, and blood flowed freely, staining his clothes red.
Her figure vanished, leaving everyone in the market and the disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion in a state of deep shock.
They couldn't believe that a mysterious female cultivator of unknown origin could gain the upper hand in a duel with the leader of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, and even injure the leader.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Jinghonghai.
All the cultivators were discussing this mysterious female cultivator; her strength and identity became the focus of everyone's attention.
They didn't know where this female cultivator came from, nor what her purpose was, but one thing was certain: this female cultivator's strength was enough to shake the entire cultivation world of Jinghonghai.
Chu Lengyu's figure disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind chaos and countless questions.
She herself had quietly returned to her cave in Xiandu Mountain.
At this time, the Xiandu Cave had been reduced to the size of sand grains and was hidden in the sea outside Mixia Island, making it difficult for outsiders to find.
After making sure she wasn't being followed, she breathed a sigh of relief and began checking her status.
Although she did not suffer any real damage in the battle, the confrontation with the sect leader still cost her a lot of spiritual energy.
In the secret chamber of the cave, Chu Lengyu sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing to recover.
As the spiritual energy circulated, her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.
After confirming that she had fully recovered, she took out the Blood Illusion Bead from her storage bag. This bead could absorb the blood of others, transform into their appearance, and even mimic some of their abilities.
In her final counterattack, she obtained a drop of the sect leader's blood, which she then dripped onto the Blood Illusion Pearl.
The Blood Illusion Pearl immediately emitted a faint red light, and blood seemed to flow inside the pearl. Slowly, the face of the sect leader appeared on the surface of the pearl.
As Chu Lengyu poured in her spiritual power, the Blood Illusion Pearl shone brightly red, enveloping her. Her face and figure gradually became blurred, and then gradually transformed into the appearance of the Hundred Swords Pavilion Sect Leader.
She meticulously adjusted every detail until there was absolutely no flaw to be seen.
After the transformation was completed, Chu Lengyu began to recall the sect leader's sword intent and moves.
She closed her eyes, replaying in her mind every attack and every movement of the sect leader.
Then, she opened her eyes, picked up a long sword, and began to imitate the sect leader's swordsmanship.
Although her swordsmanship was not as refined as the sect leader's, it had already captured some of the essence of the art.
She nodded in satisfaction; having an additional swordsman disguise would make it easier for her to move around.
Chu Lengyu sheathed her longsword, a sly glint in her eyes.
Sect Leader, I'm sorry.
