Chapter 266: One Strike
e, Lu Xia Tian could be sure that the elixir produced was at least of high grade. 。Even a junior alchemist, if they could refine one furnace of pills in several furnaces, it would definitely not be th...Seeing the black-faced youth’s emotionless, icy gaze, even Cheng Tao, who was usually bold, felt a sudden surge of panic. This person was coming for him, and at their current distance, wanting to retreat without fighting had become a fantasy.

Although the battle just now lasted only a breath, this person broke out of the encirclement of so many people and killed so many. He looked mighty and extraordinary. He must have consumed a lot of mana, right Cheng Tao comforted himself like this. Two strong meet, the brave wins. Cheng Tao's face was ferocious, and he also stuffed a pill into his mouth. It was also a Huitian Pill. For most foundation-building cultivators, Huitian Pills were extremely rare, but for those who relied on Jindan cultivators, they could always get some.
Cheng Tao swallowed the pill and let out a cry, unleashing the full power of the Bi Jiao Zhu. All his mana was channeled into it, causing the Bi Jiao Zhu to hover above his head, trembling slightly. Within it, one could hear faint roars. Countless emerald pythons surged forth from its depths. If Cheng Tao had just a little more time, as these pythons coalesced, their combined power would be formidable. However, like other cultivators, he was preoccupied with the possibility of others stealing Lu Xiaottian and Su Qing's storage bags. He had already been closing the distance to Lu Xiaottian, but now Lu Xiaottian retaliated. At such close range, ordinary cultivators paled in comparison to a body cultivator renowned for their prowess in melee combat. Lu Xiaottian's body cultivation had reached the sixth rank, its power unable to be unleashed at a distance due to his inability to reach the opponent. But now, with such proximity, he could unleash it without reservation.
Faced with the onslaught of Bi Jiao from all directions, Lu Xia Tian ignored it, letting it crash into him. In a short period of time, he couldn't do much damage to it. Lu Xia Tian let out a long roar, borrowing the momentum of the charge, and all his strength and mana were mixed together. The cracked earth knife in his hand flew towards Cheng Tao like lightning. This blade moved as fast as a meteor chasing the moon, its momentum as if splitting the sky and cracking the earth.

Cheng Tao stared in horror as the golden blade grew larger and larger in his pupils. A chilling thought surged through his mind, one he couldn't escape—this strike was equivalent to the combined power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator and another mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Furthermore, because Lu Xiaottian was a physical cultivator, at close range, it was even more formidable.The sharpness of the Earth Splitting Blade concentrated into a single point, while the Jade Azure Jiao Pearls were dispersed among numerous Azure Jiao. The power of the Jade Azure Jiao Pearls was neutralized by the Earth Splitting Blade, leaving only a contest of strength between the two.
Under the grip of fear, Cheng Tao activated the Bi Jiao Pearl, summoning all the Bi Jiao to form a shield of blue light in front of him. Even cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage couldn't break through this blue light shield, yet it shattered piece by piece under the onslaught of the golden blade. Some shields hadn't even fully formed before being broken apart.
"Second Young Master!" Of Cheng Tao's entourage, the few who had been killed by Lu Xia Tian just now left six remaining. Seeing Cheng Tao's perilous situation, they couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
He couldn't hold back anymore, run! With his defense being crushed without a shred of suspense and his life under threat, Cheng Tao no longer had the arrogance of yesterday. There was only fear on his face. Regardless of the speed of the Crack-Earth Saber, he turned around and fled. However, even with the speed of a cultivator, it couldn't keep up with the attack speed of the Dan Yuan artifact. Especially at this time, the Crack-Earth Saber was at its peak sharpness. Even before Cheng Tao could turn around, that golden blade that seemed to cleave the heavens had arrived. The chilling sword energy and the threat of death left Cheng Tao unable to suppress his fear, letting out a terrified cry.
The golden blade pierced through Cheng Tao's body. While Cheng Tao had a decent piece of soft armor, it couldn't withstand such a powerful attack. The Cleaving Earth Blade merely paused slightly before passing straight through, with a flash of blade energy. Cheng Tao let out a pained cry as he was split in two from his chest by the sword, becoming two unequal halves. A cloud of blood mist exploded in the air, centered around the Cleaving Earth Blade, and splattered onto the ground on both sides, turning into a pile of dead flesh. The Cleaving Earth Blade, still brimming with power, shot into the rock of a nearby hill until it was fully embedded up to its hilt.
Lu XiaTian shot out of the blood mist, landing on the edge of a rock. He punched the rock, shattering it and pulling the Splitting Earth Blade from within. Looking down at the over twenty remaining cultivators who had placed their bets, he said coldly, "Who else wants to come forward and die!"
Su Qing was being carried by the clay puppet, weakly watching the scene before her. That young man, who wasn't particularly tall or muscular, stood upright like a spear, as if the sky were to fall, he would not bend. In that single stance, with cold and calm eyes, a man and a blade, already congealed like a mountain, making people look up in awe. Watching the domineering aura hidden beneath the black-faced youth's calmness, revealed without reservation, Su Qing couldn't help but be captivated.
Over twenty treasure hunters present fell into an eerie silence. A pin could be heard dropping to the ground. Even the second cat, which had slightly recovered its strength, stared in astonishment at Lu Xia Tian covered in blood, radiating a terrifying aura. It couldn't understand how this ordinary cultivator from before had suddenly become like a killing god. The chilling air of slaughter even made the cat feel a vague sense of threat. The cat was intelligent; the other party's body seemed impervious to blades and arrows. Even with its claws, it probably wouldn't be able to pierce the shimmering red scales covering his body.
Seeing the black-faced youth wield his golden sword, the treasure hunters present involuntarily took a step back in fear. The dozen or so people attacking him at once were instantly pierced through by this man's swordsmanship. He didn't even need his two sixth-rank peak defensive puppets; with just one person and one blade, he had inflicted heavy casualties among those who attacked him. Bi Jiaozhu, a renowned cultivator in Xuan Ye City, was present at the scene. Cheng Tao, who possessed Bi Jiaozhu, held a prominent position among the foundation establishment cultivators in Xuan Ye City. At this moment, he had been cleaved in two by a single strike. Under this man's power, there was no time to even make a move! Even his soul essence was shattered by this single blow. His physical form and spirit were completely destroyed. Those who had miraculously survived under the golden blade became crippled. Even if they recovered, their cultivation would likely be significantly diminished. In this situation, who else dared to step forward
The middle-aged fat man saw Cheng Tao's mutilated corpse, taking a step forward. He was about to touch Lu Xiaitian's eyes but as if struck by lightning, he withdrew his foot.
Lu Xia Tian looked at the many people present who didn't dare to move. He rose into the air with a blank expression, flying towards Su Qing. He put away the golden puppet and summoned the Blue Wind Sail. The palm-sized blue sail suddenly enlarged, large enough to accommodate several people.
"Come up!" Lu Xia Tian shouted to Luo Qian, placing Su Qing inside the Blue Wind Sail.
At this time, the two Qicat had already reacted one after another, feeling that they had been ignored by Lu Xiaoteng. The other party had snatched so many golden condensing fruits from them, and they were suddenly furious and chased towards Lu Xiaoteng's Qingfeng Sail rapidly.e were led by the young man with silver hair. He secretly thought that he had actually considered making a move against this person before, and it seemed that his luck in surviving until now was alrea...
