Chapter 345 - Killing A Heavenly Dipper Realm

With a point of Liu Wuxi’s finger, the Heretic Blade began flying around within the cultivation chamber, and he could control it as he wished, relying on his divine power.

"I can fly with the Heretic Blade in the future, no longer needing to travel on foot." Liu Wuxie sighed. He had finally completed a major task after half a month.

He allowed the Heretic Blade to fly around and closed his eyes to comprehend his cultivation in the seventh level of the True Core Realm.

This was because Liu Wuxie\'s foundation was somewhat unstable. He had used the heavenly artifact\'s spiritual runes to make a breakthrough and had to temper his foundation.

Another half-day later, Hou Chi had become anxious because he had not received any news about Liu Wuxie, which made him come over personally.

The three-day deadline was approaching, and Liu Wuxie\'s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the seventh-level True Core Realm. He was over a hundred times stronger than before entering the cultivation chamber.

If Hou Chi stood before him again, he could kill the former with a slap. This was the seventh level of the True Core Realm, and he was one step away from the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

When he stood up, crackling sounds came from within his body, and there was a faint lightning rune on every joint. These lightning runes made Liu Wuxie\'s bones incredibly tough. Even cultivators in the Heavenly Dipper Realm would have difficulty destroying his body.

"It feels comfortable!" Impurities were being expelled from his body through his pores. Using lightning to temper his body was like a cleansing process.

"Time to adapt to my new cultivation!" When Liu Wuxie came out of the cultivation chamber, he didn\'t leave and stayed in the courtyard to practice his martial techniques.

He needed to adapt to his current strength, as each advancement in cultivation brought a significant increase in power. Even taking a single step might propel him several meters forward if he didn\'t acclimate.

A basic fist technique was perfect for him to hone his cultivation. After he finished, his coordination improved significantly, and he adapted to the changes brought by his cultivation.

"Blade!" Liu Wuxie roared, and the Heretic Blade flew over. It hovered before him and gave out an affectionate feeling.

He felt a connection with the blade when he grabbed onto the hilt. This meant the Heretic Blade could understand his intention with a single thought.

Similarly, Liu Wuxie could sense the changes in the Heretic Blade. He stood on the blade, which slowly lifted him off the ground. But he didn\'t fly out of the courtyard and stayed roughly five meters off the ground.

He was somewhat unaccustomed to it in the beginning. This differed from his battle with Yu Tianyi because he only had to focus on flying back then.

To control the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie had to reach unity with it. This requirement was high because he couldn\'t afford any mistakes in each detail.

After flying for roughly two hours, Liu Wuxie dismounted from the Heretic Blade once he had grown accustomed to it. The Heretic Blade returned to his interspatial pouch, as a tacit understanding had formed between them.

"Not bad. This trip to Fan City was a fruitful one!" Liu Wuxie smiled and had to accelerate the completion of the missions in the next ten-odd days.

His breakthrough and the advancement of the Heretic Blade were successful, making the subsequent missions easier. He looked at the time and noticed that it was getting late. He left Fan City before nightfall and headed to the Abyssal Underground World.

When he stepped out of the cultivation chamber, he headed straight to the counter to return the key, completing the transaction.

"I look forward to your next visit!" The deacon in charge personally sent Liu Wuxie out and only returned after the latter left.

When Liu Wuxie left the Profound Spirit Pavilion, he quickened his pace. Although the auction had ended three days ago, and most people had quickly forgotten about him, Hou Chi had not.

"Young Master, that brat has appeared!" Hou Chi was having tea with a few friends in a teahouse nearby, and he jumped upon hearing his subordinate\'s report.

"He finally dared to come out. Let\'s go!" Hou Chi dashed out of the teahouse without further ado, heading in Liu Wuxie\'s direction. As there were scouts along the way, this made their pursuit easy.

Two friends were worried for Hou Chi\'s safety and followed behind. They were all in the Heavenly Dipper Realm and weren\'t afraid of Liu Wuxie, who was merely in the True Core Realm.

The pursuit lasted for an hour, and Liu Wuxie had already left Fan City. Once he left the city, he could go wherever he wanted because flying was forbidden in the nine major cities.

Rustling sounds could be heard from behind, and Liu Wuxie turned around and smiled cruelly.

"Since you all are courting death, come and catch up!" Liu Wuxie was cautious about killing Hou Chi inside Fan City because of the Hou Clan, but it was another story outside Fan City.

As night fell, Fan City disappeared from view two hours later. Liu Wuxie had already entered the mountain range and came to a stop.

The rustling sounds rapidly approached from behind, and Liu Wuxie faintly saw four figures approaching, relying on the dim light.

Within a few moments, Hou Chi\'s group arrived and positioned themselves in a square formation, taking up the four corners to trap Liu Wuxie.

"Brat, why aren\'t you running anymore?" Hou Chi\'s face flushed from the exertion of consuming much of his true essence in the rush over. The other three weren’t faring well either, as their true essence was less potent than Liu Wuxie\'s.

"Waiting for you guys!" Liu Wuxie said honestly. He would\'ve fled by now if he wanted.

"Brother Hou, this brat is the one who angered you? Let me take revenge for you!" The young man on the right was a ruthless individual who wielded a longsword and swung it down at Liu Wuxie, not allowing the latter to finish his words.

The sword was aimed at Liu Wuxie\'s neck, proving that this person\'s cultivation wasn\'t any weaker than Hou Chi.

However, Liu Wuxie remained unmoved, allowing the sword to approach him with a trace of disdain in his eyes. The Heretic Blade appeared in his hand, drawing a beautiful arc without warning. Though no elaborate technique was behind this strike, it was nearly impossible to defend against, as the surroundings were sealed with blade intent.

"Shit!" The attacker instantly sensed something was amiss, but it was too late to retreat as the Heretic Blade was already at his neck.

"Die!" The Heretic Blade sliced through the man\'s neck, and his blood began gushing out of the wound. Even someone in the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm couldn\'t withstand Liu Wuxie’s attack and was decapitated.

The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured the energies in the corpse as the rich Heavenly Dipper Realm\'s law filled the world in his dantian. This instantly caused the world in his dantian to start expanding.

The Heavenly Dao Book opened, and there was an extra Heavenly Dipper Realm\'s law.

This scene left Hou Chi dumbfounded, watching helplessly as his friend died. The other three screamed in horror, "H-How are you so powerful?"

Hou Chi was speechless because he wasn\'t much stronger than his friend. Since his friend was killed in one strike, this meant he could only meet the same fate.

"I spared your life outside the Yu Clan a few days ago, but you didn\'t appreciate it and kept sending people to follow me. I will kill you today." Each word Liu Wuxie spoke was filled with terrifying, murderous intent.

Liu Wuxie couldn\'t quell the hatred in his heart without killing Hou Chi. After all, Hou Chi had forced him to spend more spirit stones than he had originally planned; he could have obtained the Earth Essence for 350,000 spirit stones.

"Brother Hou, let\'s attack together!" urged the remaining friend and the scout as they drew their weapons, knowing their only chance at victory lay in combining their efforts.

"Okay!" Hou Chi gritted his teeth, and his longsword exuded a powerful sword ray. They attacked from three directions, and each was an expert.

That was especially the case for Hou Chi. Not only was he the prodigy of the Hou Clan, but he was also an inner disciple of the Azure Crimson Gate. This was a testament to his exceptional talent.

His friend wasn\'t simple either; only the scout was relatively weaker. Even so, he still couldn\'t be underestimated.

"Do you three think that trash like you can kill me? What a joke!" Having reached the seventh level of the True Core Realm and upgraded the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie\'s strength had reached a new height.

With the world in his dantian expanding, the true essence Liu Wuxie could contain became even more terrifying. He swung the Heretic Blade down, causing a strong vibration to spread in the air.

He didn\'t intend to kill them in one strike and planned to use them to hone his combat skills. When the weapons clashed, Liu Wuxie dodged and occasionally unleashed a strike to neutralize the incoming attacks.

Hou Chi\'s face became more severe as the battle progressed, and a foreboding filled his heart. How could he not tell that Liu Wuxie was toying with him like a cat toying with mice? If he wanted to kill them, he would\'ve done so already.

In about fifteen minutes, they exchanged over a few hundred blows, leveling the area within a few kilometers. This resulted in a series of powerful shockwaves destroying all the surrounding trees. Even the surrounding rocks exploded, unable to withstand the power of cultivators in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

"How is this possible? You\'re only in the True Core Realm, and how can you fight us to a standstill?" Hou Chi yelled angrily, and the longsword in his hand accelerated.

Liu Wuxie naturally wouldn\'t answer Hou Chi, and he accelerated his attacks. This placed the three in danger as they narrowly escaped death several times.

"Hou Chi, find a way! You should have some life-saving items on you, right?" Hou Chi\'s friend panicked because they would die if this carried on. Thoughts of escaping rose in their minds because they didn\'t want to die.

Hou Chi gritted his teeth and took out a strange talisman from his breast pocket.

"A seventh-grade talisman!" Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes. He didn\'t expect Hou Chi to carry a seventh-grade talisman with him, which was equivalent to a strike from the Heavenly Phase Realm. This was most likely given to Hou Chi by his grandfather for protection.

This was because eighth-grade talismans were useless. After all, Hou Chi couldn\'t activate it with his true essence. Thus, a seventh-grade talisman was just right.

Hou Chi would be helpless if he faced someone in the Astral River Realm, even with an eighth-grade talisman.

Hou Chi endured the pain and injected his true essence into the seventh-grade talisman. A brilliance of light exploded like a blazing sun, illuminated the entire mountain range, and lit up the night with a sudden brightness that could be seen from hundreds of miles away.

All of Hou Chi\'s true essence was depleted as he infused it into the seventh-grade talisman.

"Brat, I want you dead!" Hou Chi\'s heart felt heavy when someone in the True Core Realm had forced him to waste a seventh-grade talisman. But he could only go all out to survive, and losing a seventh-grade talisman was nothing compared to killing Liu Wuxie.

In the market, the price of a seventh-grade talisman was no less than that of xiantian treasures. Consuming a seventh-grade talisman was equivalent to throwing out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and it was no wonder Hou Chi felt heartache.

"Do you think the seventh-grade talisman can kill me? What a joke!" Liu Wuxie had anticipated this and vanished, stepping on the Heretic Blade and distancing himself from the battlefield.
