Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1491 - 1487: Deserve to Die

The old wind-candle ghost had never expected that there might be a female cultivator inside the cave he was about to enter.

Just as he prepared to indulge himself, a sudden domineering aura overwhelmed him. As he attempted to react, Shen Yan had already dispersed the spiritual energy from his body, destroying his nascent soul. Now, with only a nascent soul at the initial stage, the old wind-candle ghost was left to await death.

The old ghost’s screams attracted the attention of many outside. A group rushed in, only to find him lying on the ground, whimpering. The loss of spiritual energy caused him unspeakable psychological and physical pain.

"Who are you?" The group came in, focusing on the female cultivator inside. When they used their spiritual senses to probe the female cultivator’s level, they were shocked to find Shen Yan’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage.

Most of the cultivators present were at late Golden Core Stage or initial Nascent Soul Stage. They couldn’t have imagined that the old wind-candle ghost would be hurt by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, nor did they detect the presence of a female disciple inside the cave earlier.

In her fury, Shen Yan had inadvertently wounded the old wind-candle ghost. She wasn’t clear about her own cultivation level; she only knew that now there was a group of cultivators in front of her, surrounding her.

In the past, Shen Yan was just an ordinary human girl. Even with some achievements in her singing career, she had never experienced fighting or brawling, thus when faced with the scene before her, she instinctively felt fear.

The cultivators hesitated to act rashly. The young man who spoke earlier wanted to intervene, but old monster Xu warned: "The cultivation world is unified now, all under the command of Alliance Hierarch Ye. Let’s first figure out who they are, and besides, the old wind-candle ghost isn’t dead yet!"

None of them wanted to be the scapegoat for others; whether the old ghost died or not was of no concern to them.

Immediately, someone picked the old wind-candle ghost up from the ground. Others sealed his acupoints, but due to the excessive leakage of spiritual energy earlier, he remained very weak. His cultivation regressed by at least ten years. Now, with his nascent soul injured, he wasn’t going to die, but surviving was not going to be easy.

"You two brats, dare attack me? See if I don’t skin you alive!" The old ghost crawled up from the ground. Though weakened, he still threatened Shen Yan and the girl across from him.

The human girl had woken up and was hiding behind Shen Yan. In her view, only Shen Yan could protect her from harm at this moment.

"Don’t come any closer!" Shen Yan randomly took out a magical artifact from her bracelet. She had used this artifact before, given to her by Ye Fan, and it stored some spiritual energy. According to Ye Fan, it has a suppressive effect on cultivators.

At this moment, Shen Yan appeared soft and fragile. She had no idea where she was, nor who the people before her were. Just moments ago, she had acted out of righteousness, not expecting to injure the old ghost so severely.

The faces of several cultivators were filled with condescension. Shen Yan’s behavior proved she was just an ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator, presenting no threat in their eyes.

Someone beside asked: "Which sect does this girl belong to? Could she be from the seven major sects?"

The old monster Xu shook his head: "Doesn’t look like a disciple from a major sect. Her cultivation is messy and disordered, seems to be a loose cultivator!"

"Loose cultivator? Ha, that’s really blind. Just when I was looking for someone to practice with!" The young disciple who spoke earlier now seemed arrogant, smirking coldly as if planning something against Shen Yan.

The old wind-candle ghost angrily shouted: "This damned girl ambushed me, I must kill her. Do you intend to make her your alchemy furnace?"

"I can kill her after making her the furnace, can’t I? Even if she were to be given to you, you’d also turn her into a furnace. Since she’s a loose cultivator, we needn’t be polite. With such damned rain outside now, it’s impossible to leave for a while, why not enjoy ourselves here?"

The young man spoke, taking steps toward Shen Yan. He had reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Among the cultivators present, he shared the same level with old monster Xu.

Someone looked at old monster Xu and asked: "Old monster Xu, is it alright for us to deal with this girl?"

Old monster Xu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "In the cultivation world, there’s one basic rule: the weak are prey to the strong. It was this girl who made the first move and intended to kill. Now she’s outmatched, even if she’s tortured to death, it’s her own fault. We can explain to Alliance Hierarch Ye! Go ahead."

"I’ll do it!" The young man attempted to advance but was preempted by the old wind-candle ghost, who lunged at Shen Yan but was swiftly bounced back by a strong spiritual energy barrier in the air.

"Ah!"

The person was thrown back, collapsing on the ground, motionless.

If earlier he suffered a severe injury, this time he purely sought his own death. Old monster Xu glanced down, furrowed his brows, and said: "Dead!"

"Ah?"

The cultivators present hadn’t imagined the nascent soul-stage old ghost would die like this. They couldn’t comprehend how someone at the Golden Core Stage could deliver such a powerful blow, even if it was an ambush.

Old monster Xu looked at the young man, saying: "Weren’t you about to go up? It’s your turn!"

The young man sneered: "The old ghost couldn’t handle it himself, dying by her hands. I’ll just take revenge for him!"

With that said, the young man strode toward Shen Yan, who had previously only been defending herself with techniques taught by Ye Fan. She didn’t realize that her current defensive abilities were such that even a Mahayana realm cultivator couldn’t break through. Instinctively, she believed her cultivation level was low, needing to retreat to avoid harm.

"We’ll help you!" Some nearby were eyeing Shen Yan’s cultivation. Previously, finding a suitable alchemy furnace was difficult, especially a Golden Core Stage female cultivator, let alone one with beauty and grace. Before, even old crones wouldn’t get a chance to become furnaces for them.

A Golden Core Stage female cultivator would generally seek a male cultivator in the late Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation Stage for co-cultivation, not considering someone of the same Golden Core Stage.

This time, it was rare to have many bullying few, especially with such a beauty as Shen Yan. How could their hearts endure impatience?

"Don’t run, just obediently yield to us, perhaps we’ll spare your life!" A fat man said with a grin, but before his voice faded, his body suddenly felt as if it was punched with a hole.

The fat man was only at the Golden Core Stage, but at that moment, his golden core completely shattered. He watched helplessly as it cracked, then collapsed, dead.

To his end, he never saw who attacked him.

"Who’s shooting from the shadows?" To instantly kill a golden core-stage cultivator and remain unseen meant a high level of cultivation, making the present cultivators tense, their eyes darting around.

A young male voice was heard saying: "To offend my woman, you are all damned!"
