at Su Qing standing with her hands clasped in the distance. Faced with the current situation, she remained unfazed, and a feeling of emotion arose in his heart. After so many years, having gone throu...The man in black slaughtered Golden Core Stage cultivators who were at the same level as him with ease. As for those at the early stage of Golden Core, they weren't even a threat.

Even powerful late-stage experts like Doushong Hu were defeated so mercilessly by the cloaked figures, their Dan Yuan artifacts destroyed and left gravely wounded. 。Three consecutive Golden Core cultivators were defeated by the black-clothed cultivator. Even if they still coveted the abnormal celestial phenomenon that appeared in the Zhenwei Hou Mansion, they didn't dare to stay any longer, only hating that they hadn't been born with an extra leg to escape faster. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoteng only stopped at the edge of the Zhenwei Hou Mansion and didn't intend to pursue further. A few Golden Core cultivators slowed down their pace, their hearts still pounding as they glanced back in fear, thankful that the black-clothed man hadn't followed up.Cao Kun rode his eighth-ranked Di You dog behind the black-clothed man, looking at him with both respect and awe. This wasn't the first time the black-clothed man had made a move, but compared to the last time when he wounded Yinlan the Great Thief, causing him to retreat injured, it was just a small skirmish. This time, his actions were simply earth-shattering. So many Golden Core cultivators coveted the Zhenwei Hou Mansion and intended to destroy it, yet the mysterious black-clothed man made a bold move under the watchful eyes of all the Golden Core cultivators. Even when the late stage Golden Core cultivators tried to leave, the black-clothed man was even more domineering and proactively challenged them. Even Dou Fenghu, whose fame spread throughout the Golden Core cultivators, was completely defeated, further demonstrating the extraordinary strength and confidence of the black-clothed man. What supported this confidence was power that reached its extreme. Even if Zhenwei Hou Cao Sheng arrived himself, he might not be able to achieve this.Unconsciously, Cao Sheng even compared the Marquis with the black-clothed man in front of him. He racked his brains and couldn't remember if there had ever been such a powerful expert in the Zhenwei Hou Mansion. If the other party wasn't from the mansion, why would an ordinary person make a move at such a dangerous timeCao Kun was completely bewildered. But he didn't dare to ask directly. Even though his current strength was only comparable to the Foundation Establishment period, and even in his prime, he was only in the mid-Golden Core stage, even with his eighth-ranked Di You dog, he wouldn't be a match for the black-clothed man. Moreover, judging from the black-clothed man's previous move, he couldn't even last a moment."Clean up the mess. As for the inside of the mansion, I doubt any of those with ill intentions would dare to stay. If there really are such courageous ones, they wouldn't be something you could handle. So let them be." After speaking, before Cao Kun could reply, Lu Xiaoteng rose into the air and disappeared into the night sky with a few leaps on the treetops."I will definitely follow your orders." Cao Kun pondered his words for a moment. Even though the black-clothed man had already vanished, he still bowed towards Lu Xiaoteng's direction. Since the other party didn't want to reveal their identity, and his strength was limited, he didn't bother to ask further. If they wanted to tell him, they would have done so already. If not, asking would only be humiliating. He glanced back at the dilapidated mansion that had been ravaged by battle. At this moment, Cao Kun felt a surge of joy. Regardless, after this battle, the reputation of the mysterious black-clothed man was sure to spread throughout Wujiang City. Those who dared to plot against the Zhenwei Hou Mansion in the future would have to weigh their own strength carefully.Although the mansion looked somewhat dilapidated after the battle, it would only take some spirit stones to repair it. However, the scattered hearts of the people had gathered once more. Soon, Cao Kun called those who had rested and organized them to begin repairs throughout the night. The Cao Mansion was large and wealthy, with many servants. Even though it was nighttime, their morale was high, a stark contrast to their previous anxiety. After all, with such a top expert backing them up, their spirits were naturally lifted. No one even mentioned the two Golden Core cultivator heads still hanging above.However, during the work, these servants couldn't stop discussing the mysterious expert in the mansion. Cao Dacaiguan, the steward, pretended not to hear, and they didn't dare to ask further. "Puf!" Returning to his room, Lu Xiaoteng even forgot to remove his black mask before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. The previously calm eyes with a hint of sharpness now dimmed suddenly.Recalling the brief but perilous battle against Dou Fenghu, although it was short, it was incredibly dangerous. He wasn't as relaxed as he appeared on the surface. In reality, besides the extremely limited killing clamp that he rarely used in his daily life, he had no other means to further harm Dou Fenghu. 。That was the remaining half of the Nine-Layered Pinnacle Giant Jiao's essence, also completely consumed. 。And that Dou Fenghu's Ziyan Skull Hammer was indeed very powerful, at least a notch stronger than the Xiongba he had fought before. He seemed to easily deflect Dou Fenghu's attacks, but in reality, it was far from so. Dou Fenghu's magical power was profound and boundless, a few strikes had already shaken him with rather serious internal injuries. If not for the legal beads accumulating magical power within him to use the cold ice healing technique to repair most of his injuries, he would have been unable to hold on>>> 。This is still the effect of the Demon Suppression Pagoda against the demonic energy, and the Purple Winged Skull Hammer has an extremely powerful restraining effect. Even if someone with the same strength as Dou Feng Hu fought, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to win either. 。Even if you manage to fight until the very end, even with injuries holding you back, at best, you'll only achieve a draw. There's a high chance you could still be defeated by your opponent. 。Even if it were Dou Feng Hu, if he hadn't been forced to go all out by the pressure from the city guards at the start, but had instead taken a defensive stance, Lu Xiaotian would have been much more passive. 。Of course, Lu Xia Tian's strength improvement is also visible to the naked eye. Even he himself didn't realize that if it were in the past, even if he used all nine levels of Yuan Shen Essence, facing a cultivator at the late stage of Jindan, even with all his tricks, he would at most be able to achieve a draw, or only be able to stalemate with the other party for a short period of time. After some time, he would still reveal his weakness. But this time, he still had trump cards that hadn't been used. If he really fought against a Jindan late-stage cultivator, the outcome would be unpredictable in the end, and he would also have a certain chance of winning. 。Lu Xia Tian was still heavily reliant on the combat power boost provided by the Devouring Souls Art, but the consumption of his primordial spirit and essence was astonishingly high, especially when dueling with a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Over time, his inherent disadvantage in cultivation realm would become increasingly apparent. 。More experienced cultivators often make targeted adjustments. 。It can only be said that Dou Fenghu chose the wrong place and the wrong way to duel. 。The demonic energy he relied on heavily came into contact with the suppressing power of Vairocana’s spiritual fire. 。It's just his/her bad luck. 。It seems I still need to improve my cultivation. Although the Demon Suppression Tower is powerful, it also needs mana to be activated. If my own cultivation level is not high enough, no matter how powerful the Demon Suppression Tower is, it won't be able to exert its full power. If my cultivation level improves a bit more, Dou Fenghu might really fall here this time. 。With such feelings, Lu Xia Tian swallowed a pill and began to heal himself with all his might. 。Aim to recover from injuries as quickly as possible. 。For several days, Lu XiaTian stayed indoors, recuperating in his room. He used pills to heal some of his injuries, but most relied on the healing power of the ice within him. 。The duels between cultivators at the Golden Core stage are formidable. Most would try their best to avoid fighting those with equal or higher cultivation levels. Once injured, the time it takes to recover can range from several months to even years. For Golden Core cultivators, this is a common occurrence. 。Therefore, those from wealthy families, able to purchase better medicinal pills for healing, often recover more quickly. 。Besides Lu Xia Tian or a very small number like Dou Feng Hu, most casual cultivators are still quite poor. 。Like Cao Sheng, or other cultivators within the city of Wushang who establish themselves or affiliate with a power, is often a better choice. 。y, the sword mark was slowly disappearing and beginning to recover as before. 。And as the sword marks kept disappearing, Lu Xia Tian felt as if he had been recognized by the Buddha images within these...
