CHAPTER 566: CHAPTER 444: NO LOSS_2

Lv Butong’s mana surged rapidly around him, with the Golden Core in his sea of consciousness flashing with divine light.

As he urged the giant sword, there was also an invisible giant sword slashing directly at Gao Xuan.

The Profound Night Sword appeared wide and fierce, yet its changes were extremely mysterious. Who knows how many people had been tricked by the Profound Night Sword?

Under the cover of the Profound Night Sword Realm, the divided swords were even harder to detect.

But in Gao Xuan’s eyes, every movement and expression of his opponent was extremely clear.

Although both were at the Golden Core stage, his Golden Core level was much higher than the opponent’s. According to the grades of this world, the Golden Core he formed was at least Tier Nine, possibly even Super Tier.

The difference in the Golden Core level meant Gao Xuan could wield stronger mana and had a stronger divine sense, with more detailed observation of changes in primordial qi.

Though the changes of the Profound Night Sword were mysterious, they couldn’t fool Gao Xuan. He had to admit, the couple’s attack and defense coordination was very skilled, quite impressive.

However, the power gap between the two sides was too large. All of their tactics and strategies became a joke.

The Profound Gold Giant Palm that descended from the sky burst forth with power, shattering the giant Profound Night Sword into pieces, and with the force of the Profound Gold Giant Palm, it was as if the heavens collapsed and the mountains crumbled.

The rapidly spinning Seven-Colored Celestial Rainbow Wheel shattered silently under the Profound Gold Giant Palm like a colorful bubble.

The entire mountain peak collapsed with a bang, wiping out half of its several hundred feet height in an instant.

The magnificent, mighty power spread downward from the mountain, causing the whole peak to tremble and shake, with countless sand and rocks rolling down. The momentum was tremendous.

The Lv couple who escaped didn’t dare to look back, they used substitute puppets to escape at the last moment.

The opponent’s mana was too strong, the Nine Peaks Heaven-Flipping Hand they launched indeed had the power to overturn the heavens.

The couple could now confirm that the opponent was a remnant of the escaped Five Elements Sect. They just didn’t know what kind of spiritual medicine he had taken to advance to the Golden Core stage within just a dozen days, and even learned the secrets of the Celestial Water Sect.

Even if they couldn’t figure it out, it didn’t matter, they’d report back to Li Buyi when they returned. Once they catch this kid, extract his divine soul, and all secrets could be unraveled.

The Lv couple dared not linger, and were about to use the Golden Light Earth-Surging Technique to flee, when they saw a Profound Gold Giant Palm already coming towards them.

The gigantic Profound Gold Giant Palm enveloped them from all directions, completely sealing their way forward.

With no choice, the Lv couple tried to evade using Vertical Earth Golden Light, but as soon as they turned around, another Profound Gold Giant Palm had already arrived.

The two Golden Cores were terrified, urgently unleashing sword light and the celestial rainbow wheel.

The two Profound Gold Giant Palms clapped together with a giant slap, and despite the Lv couple having spiritual light swirling and divine light overflowing around them, they were directly blasted into two blood lights under the Profound Gold Giant Palms.

The tough divine souls of the Lv couple were crushed into pieces by the unmatched palm force, without even having time to scream.

The two Profound Gold Giant Palms paused briefly, slowly dissipating, leaving only specks of red fragments fluttering in the air.

Gao Xuan waved towards the sky: "Take care, you two."

The annihilated Lv couple didn’t respond to Gao Xuan; only the collapsing mountain peak’s rumble echoed, with waves of echoes following in the mountains, creating a riotous commotion in the heavens and the earth.

Li Xingyu and others were also rolled down by the tumbling stones, many already falling into pieces.

Gao Xuan had long since casually seized the Qiankun Bags from Li Xingyu and others, unconcerned about their fates.

He was about to leave using the Geomagnetic Flame Wheel, when he suddenly felt a sensation. He submerged into the collapsing mountain and disappeared instantly.

A few breaths later, a flash of spiritual light appeared in the sky, and a middle-aged daoist appeared out of thin air.

The daoist had inverted-eight-shaped eyebrows, with a black-yellow skin tone, looking impoverished. His black daoist robe seemed to be made of coarse linen, appearing quite rough. He wore straw shoes with bare feet and no socks.

Just like a wandering daoist drifting in Jianghu, carrying a sense of desolation. Even the black mark on his brow looked like an ugly birthmark.

The only thing striking about the daoist was the mottled ancient sword on his back, which exuded an ancient, distant aura, seemingly of extraordinary origin.

The daoist’s gaze shifted, and he suddenly pointed his hand, causing the collapsed mountain to freeze in place.

Then, the rolling stones rolled backward, and the collapsed mountain quickly assembled back to its original shape. Those like Li Xingyu, buried by the fallen stones, were also revealed.

The daoist reached out and pulled Li Xingyu to his eyes.

Faced with the frozen disciple Li Xingyu, the daoist was at a loss. The divine soul had completely perished, even an immortal might not be able to save him.

Although this disciple wasn’t his favorite, seeing him die so tragically stirred a wave of anger in the daoist’s heart.

At this moment, his fame was at its peak, yet someone dared to provoke him actively.

The daoist made a gesture, tapping Li Xingyu’s brow, causing a ball of light to form in front of Li Xingyu and turn into a large water mirror.

The water mirror showed Gao Xuan, their conversation, and the scenes of their battle.

The last image in the water mirror was the Profound Gold Giant Palm smashing the mountain top with a mighty slam.

The daoist looked around, the mountain he had barely reassembled with his spell had collapsed again.

In the air, the faint trace of a Golden Core shattering lingered, likely from the killed Lv Butong and Lv Jinlian.

A closer look revealed fragments of the Profound Night Sword and Celestial Rainbow Wheel.

The two top-grade magical artifacts were thus shattered and destroyed, with the remaining fragments of no value.

Though the daoist didn’t witness the battle scene, from the fragments he could tell just how fierce the Nine Peaks Heaven-Flipping Hand strike had been.

Two combined Golden Cores couldn’t withstand even one hit!

Unfortunately, he was a step too late to capture the boy’s aura. Otherwise, he would’ve wiped out the threat entirely to prevent future disaster.
