Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Bloody Battle Against the Demonic Cultivators (Part 4)

Guo Xingyue said with a smile, "I am just an insignificant person. This is a cultivation planet. Why did you, a devil cultivator, come here?" The leading devil cultivator was momentarily speechless due to Guo Xingyue's words. His already pale face became even paler by several degrees, and anger surged in his eyes. However, seeing the corpses of devil cultivators all over the ground and being unable to determine exactly how powerful Guo Xingyue's cultivation was, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to a devil cultivator at the initial stage of the combined body realm, "Junior Brother Hao, go and test the opponent's skills."

Guo Xingyue calmly watched "Junior Brother Hao" approaching steadily. His mind was constantly calculating: This "Junior Brother Hao" has reached the later stage of the combined body realm, two levels higher than himself. Although he has a magic treasure and the energy of lightning, it is impossible to defeat the opponent in a frontal confrontation. At most, he can only maintain a draw. If he wants to escape, with his spiritual sense ability, the opponent cannot lock onto his figure. As long as he teleports away, the opponent will definitely not be able to find his whereabouts. Escaping is not a problem for him at all. Although the maze where the people of the Yixin Sect are hiding is ingenious, it definitely cannot escape the search of so many experts. Everyone will surely die. If he lures "Junior Brother Hao" into the formation and activates the formation in advance, although he can kill "Junior Brother Hao", as long as others guard outside the formation, although this Kanli killing formation is powerful, it cannot move to attack the experts outside the formation. As long as the opponent continuously attacks the formation with magic treasures, there will always be a time when the formation is breached. His side still has no way out. In fact, as long as there are two or more experts above the combined body realm who are not trapped by the formation, his side still has nowhere to escape. He must find a way to deceive all the experts into the formation for it to be the safest.

The ground was full of corpses and severed limbs everywhere. "Junior Brother Hao" was also extremely uneasy. He walked extremely slowly and carefully. The short distance of twenty feet took him a while to walk. When he reached ten feet in front of Guo Xingyue, he stopped and stood still. Looking at Guo Xingyue, he said, "I am Hao Chiping. I have come to seek your advice on your superior skills."

Guo Xingyue released the flying sword within his body and let the flying sword circle around him. He did not speak but just looked at Hao Chiping coldly. Guo Xingyue knew that the opponent could not see through his cultivation at all, so he was in no hurry to make a move. Although Hao Chiping is a devil cultivator and not good at refining artifacts, as an expert at the initial stage of the combined body realm, he can still distinguish the quality of artifacts. As soon as he saw the flying sword released by Guo Xingyue was a magic treasure-level artifact, his heart became somewhat uneasy. According to his understanding, only the sect leaders or grand elders of major cultivation sects can afford to use magic treasures. Although Guo Xingyue looks young in appearance, for cultivators, appearance has no connection with cultivation or even the length of cultivation time. Hao Chiping secretly muttered to himself: Could this person in front of him be the sect leader or elder of a major sect? If so, then his cultivation must be above the combined body realm. Since he cannot see through this person's cultivation at all, it is better to be cautious. Hao Chiping also released his own artifact, which was a medium-grade demonic artifact in the shape of a knife. He looked at Guo Xingyue warily and also adopted a defensive posture.

Guo Xingyue did not want to expose his cultivation level too early and did not plan to take the initiative to attack. And Hao Chiping could not figure out Guo Xingyue's background and did not dare to take the initiative to attack. The two stood in confrontation on the battlefield full of devil cultivator corpses,In a stalemate for a long time. The leading devil cultivator at the back became impatient and shouted in a low voice, "Junior Brother Hao, what are you waiting for? Attack quickly!" Hao Chiping has always been cautious. Sending him to fight was originally intended to use his caution to probe Guo Xingyue's background. Unexpectedly, as soon as Hao Chiping saw Guo Xingyue's magic treasure-level flying sword, he was overly cautious and only took a defensive stance without attacking. This made his senior brother extremely angry and had to order Hao Chiping to attack.

Forced by helplessness, Hao Chiping had to brace himself and launch an attack on Guo Xingyue. The knife-shaped demonic artifact turned into a black light and shot towards Guo Xingyue. Devil cultivators often have strong physical bodies. The strength of their combat power does not lie in the use of magic treasures but in their close combat and devouring abilities. Generally, when devil cultivators deal with cultivators, they adopt a close combat strategy. But the prerequisite is that the cultivation of devil cultivators must be at least at the same level as that of cultivators. Otherwise, the devil cultivators who rush forward will be injured by the cultivators' magic treasures before they even reach the cultivators. That would be suicidal. Hao Chiping could not figure out exactly how powerful Guo Xingyue's cultivation was. Although he released the demonic artifact to attack, he did not take the opportunity to rush forward. Instead, he retreated a certain distance.

As soon as Guo Xingyue saw Hao Chiping release the magic treasure and attack him, he did not dare to be negligent. He fully activated the spiral true essence within his body. With a flip of his hand seal, he released the flying sword. The flying sword turned into a golden light and met the incoming demonic artifact. This attack by Guo Xingyue was a full-force strike, aiming to overwhelm the opponent in one go. But his expression was extremely relaxed and nonchalant, in order to prevent the opponent from seeing his cultivation level.

Guo Xingyue's cultivation was two levels lower than his opponent's. However, the quality of Guo Xingyue's true essence was much higher than that of cultivators of the same level. Although the depth of his true essence was still a certain gap compared to Hao Chiping's, it was not an insurmountable gap. The magic treasure Guo Xingyue used was a top-level magic treasure, much higher than Hao Chiping's medium-grade demonic artifact. Guo Xingyue was attacking with full force, while Hao Chiping was holding back. As a result, the gap in cultivation between the two was narrowed to an extremely small extent. The golden light and the black light collided fiercely in the air. With a loud bang, the black light and the golden light were both repelled. The huge shock wave generated by the collision blasted a pit several feet in diameter and more than three feet deep on the ground. The impact tore the corpses of the dead devil cultivators into pieces, blood and flesh flew everywhere. The broken body parts, along with the sand and stones, splashed into the air and then fell down in a flurry. The entire battlefield was as terrifying as a purgatory.

The people of the Yixin Sect hiding in the maze saw this bloody scene. Although they were all cultivators and their spirits were much stronger than ordinary people, they still couldn't help but feel a desire to vomit. Guo Xingyue was already accustomed to mountains of corpses and seas of blood on Pangu Star and was completely unfazed by the current scene. The devil cultivators on the other side were also people accustomed to killing. They were also used to such scenes. The two sides still stood in silent confrontation on the field.

In that previous hard collision, Guo Xingyue used the wonderful effect of spiral true essence. At the moment of collision, he remove a lot of demonic essence attached to the demonic artifact. He also used the energy of lightning to disrupt the distribution of demonic essence in the opponent's magic treasure. Although Guo Xingyue's true essence was not as deep as the opponent's, he did not suffer a loss. Instead, he gained a slight upper hand. Coupled with Guo Xingyue's relaxed expression as if he had not exerted his full strength, it made the devil cultivators even more unable to figure out Guo Xingyue's background.
