Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 336 - 200. From Bowing Head Taoist to Exploding Head Taoist_3

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Liu Xun suddenly felt something was amiss; a warning sign emerged in his heart, as if he was being targeted by someone.

Mount Shu’s Flying Swords?

Having just tricked two Descendants of Mount Shu, his first thought naturally went to the swordsmen of Mount Shu.

But whether it was the Taoist Sect’s Mount Shu Flying Swords or the Confucian Divine Archery, the sword and arrow themselves might not make much noise. However, when a Cultivator used their spiritual sense to lock onto a target, the one being targeted would often have a quite evident feeling.

Such a vague sensation typically only occurred when there was a significant difference in cultivation realms between the two parties.

What is the situation now?

Numerous thoughts flashed through Liu Xun’s mind, but his body reacted faster than his thoughts. He immediately attempted to dodge.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Just as he had become aware and vigilant, a faint streak of lightning had already flashed before his eyes.

BANG!!

The first sound was Liu Xun’s protective charm, which always stayed close to him, being struck. This protective charm, which seemed as fierce as a monster but had always shielded Liu Xun, was instantaneously pierced through by an attack from an unknown source.

The sudden attack did not stop there. It struck right at Liu Xun’s forehead!

BANG!!

The first and second sounds were nearly consecutive.

Yang Chengjun, who had been in despair just a moment ago, stared dumbfounded as Liu Xun—so confident a second earlier—instantly became a headless corpse!

It was as if a rain of blood had exploded before her eyes.

And as if lightning and fire, accompanying this blood rain, burned it to ash in midair.

The Demon Lord who had deceived her, used her, and harmed her mentor, was dead just like that?

For a moment, Yang Chengjun was at a loss.

Fortunately, with Liu Xun’s death, Yang Chengjun was finally freed from her restraints as the shadows that bound her dissipated. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Startled, she hurriedly went to embrace her mentor, Jiang Dongyu.

Jiang Dongyu, extremely weak, asked, "Who has come?"

Yang Chengjun was confused. "Disciple doesn’t know. It seemed like a senior from Our Sect with a Flying Sword, or perhaps an expert from the Confucian Divine Archery Lineage, but they never showed themselves."

"We cannot stay here for long. Let’s leave immediately to help me recuperate. We can express our thanks later. Let’s go now, right away!" Jiang Dongyu said with difficulty, then passed out.

Yang Chengjun dared not hesitate and immediately took Jiang Dongyu away from the Ox Soul Mountain area.

After the mentor-disciple pair disappeared, Lei Jun revealed himself.

He beckoned, and with a sweep of the Breathing Soil Banner, he first collected the ephemeral stream of Counterflow Essence.

Lei Jun did not rush to inspect the treasures he had acquired. Instead, he first used the Divine Eye Mirror Stone to scan his surroundings, focusing on the direction where Elder Gu from Gepo Mountain had been chasing Chen Yi.

As expected, he soon detected Elder Gu returning.

Lei Jun held the Divine Eye Mirror Stone in front of his eyes with his left hand, while his right hand produced a metal tube.

One end of the metal tube was aimed forward by Lei Jun.

Within the hollow tube, there was a faint sound of electricity.

A Fine Gold Sword Pellet was suspended inside the tube.

The internal diameter of the tube was larger than the Sword Pellet. It floated in the middle without touching the metal walls, yet immense Primordial Magnet Force surged within.

As Lei Jun pointed the metal tube forward, the extendable tube stretched out even further.

With the aid of the metal tube, the Sword Pellet’s initial velocity was greater. If he chose to adjust it, the initial velocity wouldn’t be as high, but the Mana consumption was, at least, significantly reduced. Lei Jun nodded in satisfaction.

There was no need to mention its power.

Back when Lei Jun was in the Fifth Heaven Layer, fighting Li Xuan of the Sixth Heavenly Layer, if his shot had been accurate enough, he might have had a chance to end the fight with the first strike.

Now that he was in the Sixth Heavenly Layer, facing Liu Xun and Elder Gu—whose strengths were inferior to Li Xuan’s—unless he missed, it was bound to be ’one shot, one little friend.’

...It’s just that my style, from knocking someone out cold to making a sneak attack, still feels different from what I expected. I am, after all, such an honest and straightforward guy.

Lei Jun watched Elder Gu in the Divine Eye Mirror Stone and sighed.

Then, amidst a crackle of electricity, the second Sword Pellet flew out, instantly tearing through the air between them.

Elder Gu, as shown in the Divine Eye Mirror Stone, had his head blown off, just like Liu Xun!
