I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 52: Killed Three with a Finger

"They’ve finally made a move."

Zhou Changwang’s expression changed slightly.

Such a large commotion clearly indicated a sizable group taking action.

"What is going on?"

"Not good, is someone attacking the marketplace?"

At this moment, someone shouted loudly.

Immediately after, the entire outer area became tumultuous.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by a series of huge booming sounds.

These sounds were alarmingly close.

Clearly, someone had broken through the protective array of the outer area’s buildings, triggering the alarms within the array, causing the massive alert sounds.

Normally, whenever someone attacked the protective array of a building, it would surely provoke a collective counterattack from the surrounding cultivators. Yet now, the sounds of breaking protective arrays echoed continuously.

"It’s the Tribulation Cultivators, all of them have mobilized.

They’re openly murdering.

Run quickly..."

One person shouted quickly, accompanied by the sounds of heart-wrenching screams, causing the entire outer area of the marketplace to become frenzied and unbelievably noisy.

Zhou Changwang’s heart beat fiercely, and he became extremely nervous. One hand grasped a stack of talismans, while the other clutched his long sword tightly. He also hung the Dharma Artifact Flying Sword at his waist, ready to activate it at any moment with a single thought.

Then he approached the window and looked outside.

From afar, the direction of the marketplace glowed with endless light, almost like daylight; occasionally flickering between brightness and darkness, along with the continuous booming of muffled thunder.

Looking closer, there were people running everywhere. Some people ran in panic without direction, while others chased and killed along the streets. Seeing the tightly closed doors of houses, each attack would break the protective array, and they would rush in to kill...

Chaos, slaughter...

Zhou Changwang never realized so many people lived around him.

In the chaos, even those who were once good neighbors might suddenly turn brutal and become Tribulation Cultivators.

Zhou Changwang personally witnessed two people fleeing together, one suddenly attacking and killing the other, then robbing their valuables.

Bang!

Suddenly, Zhou Changwang saw the house opposite him being attacked—it was Qian Xiaoyue’s house.

In the next instant, it was blasted apart.

Then he saw two or three cultivators file in.

"What should I do?

My house has been broken into."

Qian Xiaoyue, naturally hearing the nearby loud noise, asked in a panic.

"What’s in your room?"

Zhou Changwang quickly asked.

"Just some materials and some talisman paper, worth about a dozen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Qian Xiaoyue said, showing no sign of distress.

Most cultivators trusted themselves the most, so they kept most valuable things on them, like Zhang Fenghua and Wang Chang before.

"Then prepare for battle. If they find nothing in your room, they won’t spare mine either."

Zhou Changwang shouted in a low voice and began quickly casting spells.

As the Spiritual Power surged within him, he rapidly formed rune structures.

A breath, two breaths.

In less than two breaths, the magic took shape.

The next moment, a Spiritual Light Shield appeared around him.

It was the Protective Body Technique.

Then he used the Light Body Skill.

Under the effect of the spiritual light, he felt as light as a swallow, a gentle leap taking him a yard away.

Meanwhile, Qian Xiaoyue also cast a defense spell, though her casting speed was noticeably slower than Zhou Changwang’s. Only when he had finished both spells did hers take form.

She cast a Fire Attribute Defense Technique, the Fire Cloak.

As expected, the cultivators quickly ransacked Qian Xiaoyue’s house and then headed straight for Zhou Changwang.

"Fellow cultivators, this is my abode, please refrain from disturbance."

Seeing the three approaching, Zhou Changwang quickly spoke, calmly saying.

Momentarily, they paused slightly.

All three were at the Third Layer of Qi Refining. Though not low-tier in the outer regions, they feared encountering someone truly powerful.

They could afford some robbing but dared not engage in true combat.

"No worries, I know this house belongs to a Spirit Farmer with very limited strength."

At this moment, one of them suddenly spoke, sneering.

Hearing this, they relaxed their guard.

Everyone knew Spirit Farmers were notorious for low combat power, especially after the recent autumn harvest, they were ripe... The people didn’t hesitate any longer, and one directly threw a Spirit Talisman.

Bang!

An Ice Arrow instantly formed, hitting the door fiercely.

The protective array above the door was shattered.

Along with a massive booming sound.

But at this chaotic night, such warning sounds were too common.

Covered by the waves of booming, this sound was insignificant.

"Go!"

At this timing, Zhou Changwang acted.

When someone revealed his identity, Zhou Changwang knew things couldn’t end peacefully.

Indeed, he saw someone triggering the Ice Arrow Talisman, attacking his door.

Thus, he immediately activated his stack of Spirit Talismans.

This stack was Fireball Talismans.

It was the fruit of his recent intensive training.

He finally began mastering Talisman Making, successfully crafting Fireball Spirit Talismans.

A stack of Fireball Talismans was activated by him.

In an instant, over ten fireballs, like raindrops, flew directly towards the Tribulation Cultivators.

Then, with a thought and a flick of his finger.

Shh~!

A Geng Metal Finger was unleashed by him.

The moment the cultivators rushed forward, they saw the fireballs coming at them.

Though startled, they remained composed. They all had Defense Spirit Talismans, making it easy to withstand the fireballs, preparing to charge forward.

Bang!

Suddenly, one person’s defensive spiritual light trembled, shattering violently.

Followed by a splash of blood from atop that person’s head.

After the first Geng Metal Finger, Zhou Changwang paused not, swiftly unleashing a second.

Then a third!

Shh! Shh!

Two consecutive Geng Metal Fingers struck the heads of the other two cultivators.

The silent Geng Metal Finger transformed into a reaper’s scythe.

Despite their Defense Shields, upon seeing their comrade fall, they tried to flee, activating their Spirit Talismans again. But how could they outpace those lightning-fast fingers?

Two spiritual lights shattered their Defense Shields, instantly piercing their heads.

In the blink of an eye, the three cultivators, eager to intrude a moment ago, were finger-killed by him in succession.

At the side, Qian Xiaoyue just finished casting the Driving Technique, preparing to use the Dharma Flying Knife against the enemies. Witnessing this, she stared at Zhou Changwang in disbelief.

This... this was too fast, too terrifying?

First using a stack of Fireball Talismans to obscure vision, then picking them off one by one with a single point—he killed three Qi Refining Third Layer cultivators...

Clean and swift.

Incredibly fast.
