Chapter 870 - 352: Is This Still a Golden Core Cultivator? (3)

Accompanied by a cold laugh, the bald man waved his hand, and a blood-red light, along with a nauseating bloody aura, directly slashed towards the bone boat.

At this moment, Chu Ning was right behind the bone boat, so he couldn’t dodge. He casually patted his storage bag and took out a turtle shell, placing it directly in front of him for defense.

Seeing Chu Ning, a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, using a turtle shell, which wasn’t even a magical treasure, for defense, the bald man couldn’t help but sneer coldly.

But contrary to his expectations, when the blood-red light struck the turtle shell,

the scene of the turtle shell shattering and the person being knocked away did not appear.

On the contrary, the blood-red light dissipated upon contact, melting into invisibility, leaving only a faint bloody aura lingering in the air.

"Hmm, what is that thing?"

The bald man now showed an expression of surprise.

Cen Zijin also showed a look of surprise at this moment, finally understanding why Chu Ning had given her this turtle shell back in Chaotic Beast Mountain.

This item could actually withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Though surprised, Cen Zijin didn’t hesitate at all, and directed Cheng Qinghui, who had already taken control of the bone boat:

"Senior Sister, go quickly!"

Cheng Qinghui also didn’t hesitate in the slightest, immediately using the bone boat to escape.

Cen Zijin turned her head, her gaze filled with worry as she looked back.

At that moment, the bald man shouted furiously:

"Where do you think you’re going!"

At the same time, his figure flashed as he was about to give chase.

But just then, Chu Ning raised his hand, and five strands of ice blue sword aura appeared, blocking the bald man’s way.

Even though the bald man was an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, feeling the power of the ice blue sword aura, he dared not be careless and halted his momentum.

At the same time, he slashed out several strands of blood red arcs.

The ice blue sword aura and the blood arcs clashed, both dispersing into nothingness.

Immediately, both of their expressions turned somewhat serious.

At this moment, the bald man no longer cared about the bone boat which had flown far, looking at Chu Ning with a gaze full of surprise.

"You are just a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, how can you produce such powerful spell?"

The Ice Shadow Sword Talisman, integrated into the talisman ring, when activated by Chu Ning, was like performing an instantaneous technique.

This naturally astonished the bald man greatly.

Chu Ning’s expression also became more solemn.

In fact, this was his first real confrontation with a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Previously, he had indeed killed Nascent Soul cultivators,

but that was when Shang Song and the other three were suppressed by the Power of Origin, unable to use magical power and divine sense.

And Qiu Qijun, who had lost his physical body, leaving only his Nascent Soul.

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator is a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Even those who have broken through in the recent decades can easily withstand the sword aura from the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman without relying on magical treasures."

This bald man was indeed one of those Yin Demon Sect cultivators who came to rob the Wood Spirit Seed back when Chu Ning was at Cyan Creek Sect.

Chu Ning had only glanced at him once outside the Wood Spirit Species Spirit Realm, and afterward got trapped by the ghostly mist, not witnessing the attack on the sect personally.

But from what Qiu Shunyi, who entered the sect with him, said, he learned that the man was the leader of the Yin Demon Sect group.

At that time, neither Chu Ning nor Qiu Shunyi could discern this man’s true cultivation, but they thought he must have been at the Golden Core Late Stage Peak.

He had even been possessed by the Yin Demon Old Monster using a Demonic Secret Technique Possession Technique.

Unbeknownst to Chu Ning, this man had somehow advanced to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator at this time.

When faced with the bald man’s question, Chu Ning did not respond, but directly reached into his storage bag and took out an ancient small seal.

Yellow Court Seal!

This seal was supposedly a life-saving treasure given by the Sect Leader of the Illusion Spirit Sect to his beloved son.

Since obtaining it, Chu Ning had been worried about being detected by the Illusion Spirit Sect, so he never used it.

But now, upon arriving at East Saint Continent, naturally, he had no such concerns anymore.

The opponent was a genuine Nascent Soul Cultivator, and Chu Ning wasn’t planning to hold anything back.

Seeing the ancient small seal in Chu Ning’s hand, a trace of suspicion and astonishment flashed across the bald man’s face.

The next moment, he exclaimed with some uncertainty.

"Ancient treasure?"

As he said this, a trace of greed flashed in the fierce gaze of the bald man.

Ancient treasures on East Saint Continent are extremely rare, even the Yin Demon Sect Leader, the Yin Demon Old Monster, didn’t have one.

And now he saw one.

"If I kill this boy, this ancient treasure will be mine!"

With this thought flashing in his mind, the bald man looked at Chu Ning, who was visibly activating the power of the treasure, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Then his body turned into a blood light, charging straight toward Chu Ning.

At the same time, a claw-shaped magical treasure appeared in each of his hands.

With a wave of his hands, two blood-red claw shadows directly grabbed at Chu Ning.

However, as the claw shadows passed through, there was only a faint white shadow dispersing.

It turned out that Chu Ning had already put on the white magic robe on the bone boat and had dodged away using Phantom Escape.

The bald man’s attack struck empty air, and his face turned extremely grim.

"Is this still a Golden Core cultivator? Easily casting spells on par with a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s.

Carrying an ancient treasure, even his escape technique is no less than mine.

If it weren’t for the aura around him clearly being that of a Golden Core cultivator, I’d suspect he’s a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

With this thought slipping through his mind, the bald man swung his claws towards Chu Ning again.

And once more struck empty air.

After the third time, the bald man’s expression was getting more and more unsightly.

He casually took a blood-red pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

"I never thought I would have to use a top-level Blood Evil Pill to deal with a Golden Core cultivator, but as long as I can get this ancient treasure, it’ll all be worth it!"

At this moment, a bloody mist surged around the bald man, greatly boosting his momentum as he prepared to attack Chu Ning again.

But at that very moment, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted.

The bald man’s expression changed slightly, and he looked up.

Just in front of Chu Ning, the ancient seal had grown to three zhang in size.

It was surrounded by yellow rays of light.

The power radiating from it was so intense that even he felt a pang of fear!

By then, Chu Ning had finished injecting magical power into the Yellow Court Seal.

Stopping the injection, Chu Ning muttered an obscure spell.

At the same time, he pointed his hand.

The Yellow Court Seal immediately shot towards the bald man!
