Ninth in The World - Chapter 146

Chapter 146

Di Jiu’s fifth Split-Wave Saber Move finally exploded completely within the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator .

When the fifth Split-Wave Saber Move’s saber wave collided with the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator’s body, the cultivator was shocked by the density of Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence . His twin cymbals had not completely blocked Di Jiu’s saber ripple earlier .

Like most cultivators who encountered the Split-Wave Saber Move for the first time, he had not paid much attention to the remaining saber move wave that landed on his body . He thought that it would only cause minor injuries that would be insignificant to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator .

No one would expect that the true killing intent of this saber move would explode after the saber ripple landed on his body . Boundless saber waves rushed into his body and exploded within it like waves that slammed against reefs and burst into numerous water drops…

A splitting pain and a deadly aura emanated as the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator stretched a finger out and pointed at Di Jiu as if he wanted to say something . However, a bloody mist suddenly exploded from his body, so he died before he could say anything .

Di Jiu did not care about this cultivator . He had sustained some injuries, so if he failed to kill off the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator, he would have to flee . Hence, he had been determined to kill the cultivator .

The moment the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator was killed, Di Jiu did not care about his waist injury anymore . The saber flare transformed into a saber screen, creating waves of killing intent .

It looked like waterfalls falling from empty air and descending 3,000 feet .

A fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator was sucked into the saber screen as soon as he shattered one of Di Jiu’s Gathering Peaks . As an oppressing space aura emanated, the fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator had no chance of resisting . He was immediately split in two by Di Jiu’s saber screen .

The area around them went silent, but the three remaining Golden Core cultivators did not attack . They just looked at Di Jiu in shock .

The strength Di Jiu had shown was akin to that of a powerful perfected ninth-stage Golden Core cultivator . Although five of them had surrounded and attacked him, after a short exchange of blows, Di Jiu had killed a seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator and a fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator despite sustaining some injuries .

The eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator sucked in a breath . Their attacks had seemed few, even though they had exchanged many blows in the process . The truth was that all this had happened in an extremely short time . After he had injured Di Jiu, his long spear had condensed another spear technique and he had gotten ready to use this opportunity to kill Di Jiu .

However, before the condensation of his spear technique was complete, Di Jiu had killed a seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator and a fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator . The frequency at which he took out a Dharma treasure and attacked was much faster than his speed . This implied that Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was more condensed than his, so Di Jiu’s amount of Quintessential Essence was on par with his .

Therefore, Di Jiu would kill him easily if they ever engaged in a one-on-one battle . He probably would not have been able to escape death if Di Jiu had chosen him instead of the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator .

When he sensed Di Jiu’s formidability, the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator did not attack immediately .

The two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators looked at Di Jiu in fear . Despite the combined force of the five Golden Core cultivators, Di Jiu had killed a seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator and a fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator while only receiving a spear injury . There was only three of them left now . It was not hard to imagine that, even if they killed Di Jiu, they would not be better off . Probably two or more of them would be killed in the process .

When a condensed Spiritual Force was used, the changes between magic techniques occured in an instant . This fact alone baffled them all . How could they seize this man’s items successfully?

The two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators were having second thoughts . However, the eyes of the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator, who had forced Little Tree to enter this place and was currently cultivating inside the blue lake, lit up .

Although Di Jiu was indeed very powerful, he had been injured while he had been attacked from all sides by the five Golden Core cultivators . Thus, he was certain that Di Jiu would have a hard time if more people attacked him .

No one else knew what Di Jiu had taken, yet this seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator had clearly seen Di Jiu take a blue spirit meridian . When he had taken the spirit meridian, the Spirit Qi of the blue lake water had clearly become less dense . After cultivating in the lake for a few days, he was about to reach the eighth-stage Golden Core Realm . He actually knew that the Golden Core cultivator who had given Di Jiu a jade slip and entered the blue lake had already attained the seventh-stage Golden Core Realm .

He would not have dared entertain this thought if Di Jiu had not sustained these injuries after killing the two Cultivators . However, now that Di Jiu was injured, he was uncontrollably excited . He knew very well that when these five people had attacked Di Jiu earlier, they had not used their full strength .

Before the two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators could withdraw, the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator shouted, “This man did not obtain one Soul Origin Fruit Tree, but three . There are at least nine Soul Origin Fruits . Other than the three Soul Origin Fruit Trees, he also obtained a blue spirit meridian . The Spirit Qi of this lake is less than one 10th of its original amount . This is because this man extracted a 100-foot long blue spirit meridian from the lake . Quality items should be shared . Even if one obtained 50-foot of this blue spirit meridian, it would be sufficient for us to attain the Essence Soul Realm . Why is everyone hesitating? Let’s all attack him together…”

As soon as he spoke, the peak seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator rushed out of the lake . The two Golden Core cultivators with the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator followed him without hesitation .

They knew very well that the density of the lake’s Spirit Qi had indeed decreased multi-fold .

When they heard that Di Jiu possessed a 100-foot long blue spirit meridian and the Spirit Qi density of the lake was less than one 10th of the original amount, everyone got jealous .

The eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator was also envious that Di Jiu still had so many good-quality items . Besides the blue spirit meridian Di Jiu had taken, the Dharma treasure used to store the 100-foot blue spirit meridian was also a priceless treasure .

“Let’s work together and kill him . We will split the spirit meridian equally amongst ourselves . Anyone who attacks him will get a share!” bellowed the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator as he led the masses towards Di Jiu .

Di Jiu’s heart sank . Before he could flee, numerous Dharma treasures struck at him .

Meanwhile, someone sealed the cave entrance . Even though the seal did not pose a challenge for Di Jiu, he would die many times before he was able to open it .

Inside the blue lake, Little Tree and Qin Yin were also disheartened . Di Jiu might be formidable, but there was a limit to the number of cultivators he could kill .

Even Zhong Xun started to slowly move over when he saw so many cultivators rush at Di Jiu .

He also knew that the density of the Spirit Qi of the lake had decreased . Although he did not know how long the spirit meridian Di Jiu had taken was, he was certain that Di Jiu had taken an entire spirit meridian . After cultivating in this spirit lake for a few days, he had already perfected the sixth-stage Golden Core Realm . If he acquired a portion of this spirit meridian, he would get a chance to attain the Essence Soul Realm .

When he saw Di Jiu get ambushed by countless people, Zhong Xun rushed out with the crowd without a care .

No matter how formidable he was, Di Jiu would surely die . Hence, he would no longer have any reason to be afraid of him . It was rumored that Di Jiu had used a confinement array to kill the Qi Family’s Golden Core cultivators on the third floor of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building . That day, Di Jiu had not had the opportunity to set up any confinement arrays . Plus, he had witnessed the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator’s spear pierce through Di Jiu’s waist . It seemed like Di Jiu was not as formidable as people said .

Even though he was wearing a spirit armor, several attacks struck him quickly, causing blood to splatter out of his body .

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed that the cave entrance was being sealed by someone with an array formation restriction . Thus, he had no other choice but to fight these people head-on .

When Di Jiu whipped out his long saber, rays of saber screens spread out like crazy .

Di Jiu dared not just casually cast the Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves right now, as this technique consumed too much of his Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force .

Boom! Boom! Boom! As soon as the chaotic battle started, many Cultivators died . Meanwhile, Di Jiu was continuously attacked by various Dharma treasures .

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed that the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator who had exaggerated the size of the spirit meridian and encouraged everyone to attack him was hiding at the back . He instantly realized that a lot of people there wanted to reap benefits without making an effort .

If everyone worked together, he would only be able to survive for 15 minutes .

As he thought of this, Di Jiu started to wander around and secretly set up several array flags .

Every time he set up some strangulation array flags, he would kill several cultivators . However, he also attained a few more wounds in the process .

Boom! A stone pearl suddenly slammed into Di Jiu’s saber . The stone fragments scattered all around, repressing the saber intent Di Jiu had just stimulated .

Before Di Jiu could put away the long saber and take it out again, the spear of the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator, who had been waiting aside for a long time, leaped at Di Jiu like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark . The spear intent created by the spear broke through Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence barrier and spirit armor and pierced his chest .

As the spear was retracted, a fountain of blood spurted out of Di Jiu’s chest . Di Jiu felt his whole body suddenly go weak .

I can’t die here… As Di Jiu’s consciousness got a little blurry, the saber in his hand struck out again using the sixth Saber Move, called the Sky Screen .

This Sky Screen was different from the original Sky Screen, so it did not fall from empty space . Instead, it swept across from afar . Nearly all the cultivators were right below the sweeping Sky Screen .
