Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 378 - 219. Offended a Taoist and still think you can run away?
In the distant forests, Lei Jun exhaled a long breath.
Above his head, the Tao Seal shone brilliantly, with the Yin Yang Dual Qi swirling around it ceaselessly.
Ever since he began using metal rails to boost the speed of his Fine Gold Sword Pellet, Lei Jun no longer drained his Mana as he used to when "firing" to greet friends. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
However, today’s target was Tu Dong, at the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm.
Even though the other was wounded, he was a genuine opponent with Upper Three Heavens Cultivation.
Therefore, Lei Jun specifically enhanced the concentration and output of the Primordial Magnet Force.
The metal rail in his hand was burning hot at this moment, even slightly twisted and deformed.
Lei Jun himself felt a brief shortage of Mana.
However, with the circulation of the Yin Yang Sacred Body, his Mana recovered quickly.
The Breathing Soil Banner was used to create a concealed environment, to prevent the approach of other enemies and the possibility of someone seizing the opportunity to strike from behind.
Perhaps he should be thankful that Yang Tai’s chosen escape route was extremely hidden.
Whether it was Tu Dong intercepting Yang Tai or Lei Jun sending Tu Dong to his doom, no one else came to disturb them.
In just a few breaths, Lei Jun’s Mana had mostly recovered.
While remaining vigilant for other enemies, Lei Jun headed to the forest where Tu Dong had met his demise.
The other party had wanted to use Blood Sea Nirvana to cheat death and achieve rebirth, but in this state, taking another "cannon shot" from Lei Jun would only result in a death beyond death.
In the scorched forest, burned by lightning fire, nothing remained but a few scattered fragments of Magic Artifacts.
Among the several cultivation paths within the Blood River Sect’s Taoist Heritage, Tu Dong had chosen the path of the expanding Blood Sea, aiming to create a Blood World. His primary strategy involved engulfing opponents through widespread blood contamination. In terms of self-preservation and versatile trickery, this path was inferior to those of the Blood Shadow and Blood Divine Child.
However, the Blood River Lineage excelled in researching the paths of slaughter and life-and-death. Thus, after Tu Dong achieved the great Divine Skill of Blood Sea Nirvana, his means of self-preservation were also excellent.
It wasn’t certain he could achieve Blood Rebirth, but if some flesh and blood remained, he might have had a chance to save his life.
Even if he couldn’t help himself, he could still hope for assistance from other Blood River experts.
However, Blood River experts at the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm could not yet preserve their flesh in advance for revival. Once flesh was separated from the body, maintaining its vitality was difficult.
Thus, after his Blood Sea Nirvana was shattered by Lei Jun, this Elder of the Blood River Sect could only die filled with resentment.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, this should be the first Upper Three Heavens Cultivator that I’ve personally finished off," Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly. It feels... no different than usual. Just like most of the opponents he had taken down before. If it’s a scourge, then eliminate it.
Before today, Upper Three Heavens Cultivators had died because of Lei Jun.
The first was Elder Li Ziyang of the Celestial Master Mansion, a fellow member beloved by countless junior disciples.
Back when Tang Xiaotang prioritized pursuing Li Song, whether Li Ziyang could escape was still uncertain.
But Li Ziyang had some attachment to the Celestial Master Robe.
Although Li Ziyang was later expelled from the Celestial Master Mansion, there were still some lingering old ties, so Lei Jun did a small, inconsequential favor.
In the end, Li Ziyang went to "exchange feelings" with Elder Qi Shuo of the Yellow Sky Sect and Elder Cao Chu from the Golden City Stronghold.
Perhaps Qi Shuo and Cao Chu were too "enthusiastic," as Li Ziyang ultimately did not leave the vicinity of Dragon Tiger Mountain alive.
Fortunately, after the battle at Great Southern Mountain, Elder Cao Chu of Golden City Stronghold went down to join Li Ziyang.
She was accompanied by Ye Lingxi, the pride of the Jinzhou Ye Clan’s younger generation.
Thanks to Wei Ancheng, the Sect Leader of the Blood River Sect, besides the deaths of Cao Chu and Ye Lingxi, Ye Han of the Eightfold Heaven Realm and Elder Gao Pu from Golden City Stronghold also suffered severe injuries.
Gao Pu had essentially lost half a lifetime’s worth of painstakingly accumulated Evil Souls and Walking Corpses.
It wasn’t easy for the older generation to accumulate such a fortune, and Lei Jun deeply empathized.
He thought General Shangguan Peng was a good sort, someone who could help Gao Pu recover some losses.
And coincidentally, Gao Pu thought the same.
By now, Lei Jun had bid farewell to four experts of the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm—literally just bid farewell. The ancestral masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain could testify that when they departed, Disciple Lei Jun hadn’t even exchanged a word with them. Until today, however, he had personally seen off a cultivator of the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm.
This was the first, and he hoped, the last. After all, I am a seeker of the Tao, at peace with the world, disinclined to fight, and kind to all, a true man of the Way... Lei Jun remained calm.
As he performed his Breathing Skills, the Yin Yang Dual Qi swirled out, hovering around him. Presently, specks of strange brilliance began to reconverge.
It was the glow that had been intercepted by Tu Dong after Yang Tai had escaped using the Star-changing Lodestone.
Seeing this, Lei Jun finally let go of his lingering concern.
He had been concerned that his own drastic actions might have obliterated these clues as well.
However, he was facing an Elder of the Blood River Sect at the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Even though his opponent was injured, Lei Jun still needed to prevent any chance of a counterattack or escape, so he had chosen to strike with full force.
Fortunately, what he desired still remained.
As for other items possibly left behind by Blood River Sect members, Lei Jun ignored them entirely. This was to avoid the Ninth Heavenly Layer Lord of Blood River potentially tracing them back to him later.
He left the forest with the remnants of the glow.
After leaving the area that severely interfered with the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, Lei Jun began to study the glow while simultaneously contacting his master.
During the recent upheaval at Zhu’an Mountain, Yuan Mobai had not made an appearance.
Perhaps his friends had not encountered mortal danger, thus negating the need for Yuan Mobai’s assistance.
However, it was only after contacting Yuan Mobai that Lei Jun felt completely at ease.
"We are all unharmed, Chongyun need not worry," Yuan Mobai’s voice remained as gentle as ever.
