Chapter 45 Killing Two People
On the spirit boat, three male cultivators stood in a triangular formation.
The leading cultivator was broad and stout, his body resembling a mountain of flesh. Just standing at the bow of the ship, he seemed to be able to crush the entire spirit ship.
"Brother Shan, that kid seems to have realized we're following him. He didn't even have time to put away the boat before disappearing into the woods."
Behind Zhao Shan, a horse-faced male cultivator glanced at the spirit boat Chen Ye had left on the shore and spoke to Zhao Shan.
"Hmph, with my precious spirit bees around, that brat won't get far!"
Zhao Shan smiled confidently, his fat face jiggling. Then he patted the spirit insect pouch hanging at his waist, and a ferocious poisonous bee covered in fine black lines and longer than an adult's finger flew out.
"Wow! Brother Shan's Devouring Pattern Bee has already grown six wings? That's a late-stage Tier 1 spirit insect!" another person couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhao Shan was extremely pleased by this flattery, narrowed his eyes, and hummed in response.
"Besides its highly venomous stinger, this bee is extremely sensitive to the scent of locust flower pollen. That kid accepted my older brother's invitation, little did he know he'd already fallen victim to its trap!"
As they spoke, the spirit ship docked at the shore. As soon as they stepped onto the island, Zhao Shan immediately sent a tracking order to the Spirit-Devouring Bees.
The Soul-Eating Bees flapped their wings rapidly, making a buzzing sound, and then flew straight into the depths of the dense forest.
"Hurry up and keep up!"
Zhao Shan gave a soft shout and led two of his men to follow closely behind the Soul-Devouring Bees.
However, the three of them traversed the entire forest but still could not find any trace of Chen Ye.
"Hmph! That kid's pretty fast!"
Zhao Shan wiped the sweat that was faintly appearing on his forehead. Although cultivators have physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, his fat body was indeed causing him a lot of trouble in his movements.
"This island is only fifty miles in circumference, which is right within the olfactory range of the striped bees. I don't believe you can hide anywhere."
Zhao Shan snorted coldly and continued to fly forward with the Soul-Devouring Bee.
Before they knew it, the three of them arrived at a place full of jagged rocks. This place was located at a pass between two mountain peaks, where the sea wind howled and became even stronger through the narrow pass!
Although the Soul-Devouring Bee was a late-stage first-tier spirit insect, its wings were thin and flimsy, making it unstable in the gale. Just as it was forced to lower its flight altitude.
puff!
A powerful beam of energy suddenly shot out from behind a boulder several feet away, the timing was extremely precise, just as the Soul-Devouring Bee had barely managed to steady itself.
"squeak--!"
With a piercing screech, the Soul-Devouring Bee's two thin wings on one side were severed by the aura, and its body suddenly lost its balance, blown away by the howling wind.
"My precious little bee!"
Zhao Shan was heartbroken, and immediately roared, "Kill him!"
The two men following Zhao Shan were skilled raiders who reacted quickly the moment the Soul-Devouring Bees were attacked, unleashing their respective magical weapons and rushing towards the boulder.
But before they could get close, Chen Ye suddenly appeared.
Puff puff!
Several beams of energy pierced through the air. The horse-faced male cultivator at the front had just witnessed the power of these beams, so he naturally dared not be careless and quickly activated the talisman he had already held in his palm.
hum~~
A layer of colorless spiritual light instantly enveloped his entire body. This talisman was a mid-grade first-level talisman spirit shield talisman. Although its defensive capabilities were not as strong as those of a high-grade golden body talisman, it could withstand the attacks of a late-stage Spirit Condensation cultivator.
However, the aura emanating from the young man opposite him was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and his cultivation level was one level lower than his own. Even if the spell he unleashed was powerful, it would be impossible for him to break through his defenses in a short period of time.
With this thought in mind, the horse-faced male cultivator, relying on the strength of his spiritual shield, accelerated and pounced towards Chen Ye!
Once you get close, you can sever this person's head with a single sword stroke!
However, when the first beam of energy landed on the spiritual shield, the horse-faced male cultivator was immediately horrified.
The protective spiritual barrier in front of him rippled violently as if a huge rock had been thrown into a deep pool!
Click!
The second burst of energy arrived in quick succession, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the spiritual shield.
The third burst of energy!
boom!
Unsurprisingly, the seemingly unbreakable spiritual barrier only managed to block three attacks before being completely shattered by the Spirit Annihilation Finger. Its remaining power was undiminished, piercing through the chest of the horse-faced male cultivator.
"you……"
The horse-faced man spat out a mouthful of blood, his lifeless eyes filled with confusion.
He simply couldn't understand how a cultivator at the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering stage could unleash such a powerful spell.
But what he got in return was Chen Ye pointing a finger.
boom!
His skull exploded!
Chen Ye's skill level was indeed inferior to his, and even the Spirit Annihilation Finger was not a top-tier spell. However, the problem was that not everyone had the time to master a spell to such a high degree.
Over the past six months, Chen Ye has not only improved his cultivation level, but also his various spells. Among them, the Spirit Annihilation Finger, as one of his attack methods, is naturally of paramount importance.
The other cultivator, seeing his companion rush forward, thought he could quickly end the battle. After all, he knew the strength of the horse-faced man. His swordsmanship was superb, and in close combat, even a cultivator at the seventh level of the Spirit Gathering stage would easily suffer losses!
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Ye didn't give him a chance to use his sword at all, and killed him directly from several feet away.
Red and white brain matter splattered all over his face. In the blur, the cultivator seemed to vaguely see a flash of crimson before his vision spun around.
boom!
The severed head lay on the ground, and the wound on the neck emitted plumes of white smoke from the burns, as if it had been scorched by fire.
Chen Ye sheathed his Crimson Feather Sword, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
He found this high-grade magic weapon very suitable for his hand, and even with his mid-stage Spirit Gathering cultivation, activating it wasn't too difficult.
It happened quickly, though it was said so late.
From the moment Chen Ye made his move until he had eliminated two enemies, only a single breath had passed.
Zhao Shan originally planned to have his two subordinates deal with Chen Ye directly, while he would go and retrieve the spirit insect that he had spent a lot of resources to cultivate.
But who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, his two subordinates would be dealt with, while the boy he thought was doomed would be staring at him from afar with a crimson longsword in hand.
"A superior-grade magic sword? No wonder you dared to come to our Thousand Camphor Island with only the strength of the fifth level of Spirit Gathering; you had something to rely on!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Zhao Shan's face. Without even glancing at the corpses of his two subordinates, he strode toward Chen Ye.
"However, from this moment on, your superior-grade magic sword and that cluster of first-tier spirit fire are both mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding golden light suddenly shone from his body, and his mountain-like body seemed to be covered with a layer of metal armor. His speed also suddenly increased, like a mad beast charging straight at Chen Ye.
"Body cultivation?"
Chen Ye was slightly surprised, not expecting to encounter a body-tempering cultivator in such a place.
Unlike sword cultivators whose attacks are all on their swords, body cultivators use their own bodies as weapons. The strength of powerful individuals can even rival that of spiritual weapons!
However, the spiritual strength of a body cultivator is no different from that of an ordinary cultivator...
