Chapter 492 - 433: Three Days Apart, A Whole New Man

The gigantic bone dragon was cut into two segments by a single sword strike.

The spirit sword naturally aimed for the Bone Spirit Ancestor standing on the dragon’s head as well.

The Golden Core Stage cultivator, now blind, immediately fled into the air.

The few techniques that Chu Huaixu displayed earlier had already terrified him to the point of breaking his courage; there was no room for confrontation.

The Kunlun practice is as such: when encountering lower cultivators, they burn, kill, and plunder, while they flee when encountering upper cultivators.

Life is singular, and some risks cannot be taken.

If you constantly want to give it a try, it’s a case where trying leads to demise.

The Bone Spirit Ancestor used the technique to fly, moving at remarkable speed.

As he fled forward, he continuously summoned one magical treasure after another, attempting to stop Chu Huaixu.

Yet the young man behind him, with one person and one sword, seemed to easily break ten thousand techniques with a single wave!

"Why!"

"Why is he so strong!"

Bone Spirit Ancestor could perceive that the opponent’s cultivation was clearly below his own, estimating to just have entered the Fifth Realm by Profound Yellow Realm standards.

Logically speaking, he should be easily captured.

But what about reality?

He seemed to possess a formidable strength!

"Is this the Profound Yellow Realm’s Lord of the World’s Spirit Swords?"

Bone Spirit Ancestor felt a chill down his spine.

At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

"What are you thinking?"

Without knowing when, Chu Huaixu had appeared beside him!

The Bone Spirit Ancestor’s hair stood on end.

He simply couldn’t understand, not only was he frantically executing the air traversal technique, but also using the breath concealment technique and hiding with immortal techniques.

In theory, he should have blended into the night.

But all this seemed to be ineffective before his opponent.

In fact, Chu Huaixu didn’t even need to use the power of the Heart Sword to slash through illusions or track.

Simply because it was dark, and that was enough.

This is Night Venerable!

A dazzlingly bright sword light suddenly flashed through the night.

-- Six Out of Seven!

The Bone Spirit Ancestor of late Golden Core Stage was immediately cut off an arm.

Although Chu Huaixu was also harmed by the backlash of the sword technique, his flesh rapidly healed.

He felt no pain; on the contrary, he thought, "Now that’s intense!"

After closing himself off for so long, he realized why he had been feeling weird.

It turned out this time he hadn’t "injured himself" during the fight.

In Boyang Town, Liu Chengqi and others had their mouths agape in disbelief, gazing into the sky.

At this point, Xu Ziqing and Han Shuangjiang finally arrived, albeit late.

They had realized along the way that Chu Huaixu displayed an absurd combat desire.

Towards Kunlun Cave Heaven individuals, he harbored intense hatred and wouldn’t allow interference.

"Does he hate Kunlun Cave Heaven people that much?" Han Shuangjiang pondered.

"Senior brother truly possesses great righteousness and concern for the world," Xu Ziqing fantasized.

Given that Chu Huaixu’s realm might be lower than theirs currently, his overall strength was exceptionally formidable; hence they didn’t intervene and simply let him proceed.

Upon seeing them, Liu Chengqi promptly stood and saluted.

"Greetings, Direct Disciple Han and Direct Disciple Xu."

Due to past grievances, he didn’t dare to directly look at Han Shuangjiang.

The Big Ice Cube cast a glance at him, sensing that Liu Chengqi had truly changed.

However, drastic changes in personality always have reasons.

Or perhaps...

There is a cost.

Mo Mei and others, upon seeing Liu Chengqi greet, also immediately cupped their fists: "Direct Disciple Han, Direct Disciple Xu, pleasure to meet you."

Everyone instantly felt relieved.

With three true disciples from the Daoist Sect here, especially the strongest of the younger generation, their sense of security was overwhelming.

After Han Shuangjiang responded to each, he immediately asked, "Are there any other situations around?"

Liu Chengqi shook his head, still avoiding direct eye contact, and said with a slight inclination, "There should be no other issues; earlier, the Bailong Daoist only mentioned this troublesome Bone Spirit Ancestor."

After saying that, he looked towards the sky, adding, "Does Direct Disciple Chu really not need any assistance?"

Before his voice ended, he immediately appended, "I’m not underestimating Direct Disciple Chu. I’m merely thinking if we can directly crush the enemy, it’s far more prudent, ensuring no mishaps."

Xu Ziqing sighed upon hearing it.

He adjusted the massive sword box behind him and stated, "No, senior brother would be angry."

This puzzled Liu Chengqi and others.

"Why be angry?"

....

....

High above, Chu Huaixu felt sheer delight in his heart.

Damn it; not having hordes of players contesting for a wild map boss was truly refreshing!

Under normal circumstances, a wild monster like Bone Spirit Ancestor, which is at least elite level, wouldn’t escape being contested by high-level players or even professional ones.

This was usually a banquet for large guilds.

Would they let a "loose cultivator" like Chu Huaixu take it?

Previously, his utmost effort was to get some orders and join groups as labor.

Real benefits were basically unattainable.

But there was nothing to be done about it.

At this moment, he swung another sword, severing Bone Spirit Ancestor’s left leg.

A piercing scream resounded, full of agony.

"You’ve lived for centuries, right?"

"Can’t endure such little pain?" Chu Huaixu sneered.

In keeping with respecting the elderly and loving the young, let’s spare him some suffering.

He flickered, and the spirit sword slashed ahead, sending a head flying into the sky.

"Ding! You have successfully killed the Kunlun cultivator Bone Spirit, gaining 3,198,211 experience points."

Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but let out a little joyful hum.

But to maintain his usual image, he still held his sword with one hand, returning with an air of calmness.

The townspeople of Boyang immediately surrounded him.

"Thank you, Chu Leader, for saving us!"

"Your great kindness and virtue!"

"Thank goodness for Chu Leader."

"Indeed."

Hearing these words, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but frown slightly.

People can be strange sometimes.

They only see results.

Perhaps they mean no harm, simply celebrating their survival, yet seem to forget the contributions some made during the process.

Chu Huaixu immediately said, "Don’t thank only me, if not for Liu Chengqi and others, you wouldn’t have lasted until I arrived."

Liu Chengqi, hearing this, couldn’t help but be stunned.

Currently, he had hidden in a corner.

The reason was simple—his attire matched Chu Huaixu’s, almost identically in black-gold robes.

Normally, wearing such attire was no issue, as countless "Young Heroes" in the Cultivation Realm dressed like this.

But today he met the real article, especially one with past "grudges," which made him slightly embarrassed, awkward.

In fact, hearing the townspeople thanking Chu Huaixu, Liu Chengqi didn’t find it unsettling.

Yet, when Chu Huaixu mentioned this, he genuinely froze.

"Why are you standing around? Come over here!" Chu Huaixu frowned, waving him over.

Liu Chengqi hesitated for a moment before jogging forward.

Chu Huaixu gently patted his shoulder, commending:

"After three days apart, one must look at others with fresh eyes."

"If your father..." he stopped halfway.

"Anyway, you haven’t tarnished the Daoist sect’s prestige!" he continued.

Afterwards, everyone didn’t immediately leave Boyang Town.

Having slain all along the way, Chu Huaixu needed a brief respite.

Upon opening his eyes, a flash of surprise appeared.

The reason was simple, as time passed, he could distinctly feel the power of the Black Jade Lotus Platform within him strengthening gradually.

"Why?" Chu Huaixu pondered.
