Chapter 103 - 73: Robbing Cultivator_2
But they didn’t know that the Robbing Cultivators around White Dragon Island, in order to adapt to the competition and to establish a footing within the Robbing Cultivator realm of White Dragon Island, had all diligently practiced the Technique of Water Battle and Water Escape, with each being a master of water combat.
Entering the water in front of them was not just making a fool of oneself by displaying one’s slight skill before an expert, it was seeking one’s own death!
Such amateurish behavior was definitely that of an Immortal fate Man.
With the last of his doubts cast aside, the burly man with streaks of muscle picked up his harpoon and plunged into the water like a black fish, chasing straight after his target.
Two others converged from either side, one a round-shaped, golden-skinned fatty and the other a skinny youth, akin to a stick of bamboo.
“Big brother, third brother, that kid is just bluffing. Let’s move quickly and not let the fat sheep escape.”
With a kick, the big man activated his mana, and in an instant, the water surged, wrapping around him as he chased after him hastily.
The two companions also employed their methods.
The fatty’s body suddenly swelled, moving through water like a Golden Toad, his speed astonishingly fast.
The bamboo pole-like youth spat out a black sword, merging man and sword, rapidly escaping through the water, equally lightning-fast.
The three were none other than the notoriously infamous Robbing Cultivators around White Dragon Lake—the Three Scourges of White Dragon!
Each had reached the tenth level of Qi Cultivation and had also practiced Body Training Skill, achieving ‘Perfect Qi Refinement’ with a body fully refined.
Together, they could even hold their own against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and possibly even escape unscathed.
How else could they have the ability to be Robbing Cultivators?
“Haha, you stinking kid, swim all you like, but can you be faster than the Five
Elements Escape Technique?”
“Let me show you the methods of a Cultivator!”
The second of the Three Scourges, the burly man, laughed wildly and employed the Water Escape technique, catching up to Xu Yang in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Xu Yang, who’d been darting away like a fish, suddenly turned around, countering with a palm strike.
“Hmm!”
The big man’s eyes focused sharply, his harpoon piercing forward, carrying the power of the water, colliding with the opponent’s palm strike, resulting in a stalemate.
Immediately thereafter, the other two arrived at the battlefield, forming a siege that quickly encircled Xu Yang.
“Big brother, third brother, this kid has some skill. Seems like he’s encountered great fortune, be careful.”
The palm exchange just now had given the big man a hint that something was wrong, prompting him to immediately warn his companions.
“Kill!
The fatty, resembling a Golden Toad and bizarre in appearance, didn’t waste words and spat out a beam of golden light, launching an attack towards Xu Yang.
The bamboo pole-like youth likewise pushed his black sword forward, like a venomous snake biting from behind.
The burly man threw his harpoon, which turned into a sharp black light, accompanied by the mighty force of the rushing water, heading straight for Xu
Yang.
Each employed their own methods.
But…
Amidst the water, Xu Yang raised his hand, instantaneously utilizing Tai Chi, with the Fighting Scroll’s ultimate move emerging once again.
“Qi Three Thousand!”
In a flash, a pair of black and white fish chasing each other’s tail appeared, influencing the surrounding currents to form whirlpools.
Within the whirlpool, Tai Chi rotated, the yin and yang energies embodying the lore of the three thousand, causing the three magic artifacts’ brilliance to collapse instantly, revealing their true forms. A golden bead, a harpoon, and a black sword.
“What…!!!”
Seeing the other side wield Tai Chi, instantly retracting their magic artifacts, all three were stupefied on the spot.
What kind of spell was this?
A moment of doubt was followed by shock.
“Something’s not right!” “This is trouble!”
“Run quickly!”
The trio suddenly came to their senses, not bothered about their magic artifacts, they spurred their mana and turned to flee. What is most important for a Robbing Cultivator?
It’s perceptive ability!
A Robbing Cultivator with poor insight not only dies quickly but also miserably.
Although they had misjudged their opponent this time, it wasn’t too late to mend the fold after a sheep is lost; as long as there is life, there’s hope…
Flee! Flee! Flee!
Fear and panic fueled their flight.
But how could a fisherman possibly let go of a fish that had taken the bait so easily?
Within the depths, Xu Yang stepped forward and submerged while unleashing Divine Intent, connecting heaven and earth, the surrounding water pulled into forming a tornado whirlpool.
Muddy Water Jiao Dragon!
Unity of Heaven and Man!
Along with the Martial Path Yuan Skill, the strength of divinity!
In an instant, the tornado formed, the whirlpool raging and spiraling violently, clenching onto the movements of the three.
“This is bad!”
“Big brother!”
The trio cried out in alarm, exerting their full strength into their escape techniques, but the water-spirit energy, once so compliant to their commands, now seemed like a different entity, not just refusing to respond to them but also opposing them, pushing them away, forcibly dragging their bodies inch by inch toward the tornado whirlpool.
“What is this…?”
“Divine will guiding mana, controlling Yuan Qi!”
“He’s at the Perfect Qi Refinement level, he’s a Perfect Qi Refinement Cultivator specializing in spells!”
“We must work together to activate the Golden Toad, otherwise we’ll all die under his spells!”
Realizing the truth, they were more horrified than ever.
The leader of the Three Scourges, the middle-aged fatty, let out an angry shout and then spat out a beam of golden light. It was a completely golden Golden Toad.
All three urged their mana into the Golden Toad.
“Arrrgghh!!!”
Mana surged, and the Golden Toad bellowed, swelling a hundredfold in an instant to become a thirty-foot behemoth that swallowed the trio in one gulp.
The very next moment, a tornado struck, the vortex expanding; the Golden Toad was too slow to evade and got swept up in it.
“Gurgle gurgle!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The violent rotation of the deep-water tornado shattered beams of golden light.
Meanwhile, above the lake… “What’s going on?”
“This commotion…”
“Doesn’t seem like the work of those three.”
“It looks like the Three Scourges of White Dragon have met their match this time.”
“A match? This ruckus, it’s not just a match;, it’s like an iron bastion!” “I knew it; in this day and age, where can you find a true novice?” “They’re all old demons pretending to be novices, tricking and trapping!”
“Could it be that some Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t stand it anymore and took matters into their hands to deal with those three scoundrels?”
Watching the violently churning hundred -yard-wide tornado vortex, everyone peering both openly and in secret couldn’t help but be astonished.
Such uproar, such a spectacle, wasn’t this what you’d expect when a Foundation Establishment Cultivator makes a move?
Lucky for us, it was the White Dragon’s Three Scourges who stepped on this landmine, otherwise…
At this thought, many felt a secret chill, filled with lingering fears.
At that moment…
“Boom!!!”
A massive explosion occurred: the vortex burst, and the tornado spewed out an angry torrent in which a glint of gold could be seen.
It was the Golden Toad!
“It’s that fatso’s Golden Toad!”
“A supreme grade defensive magic artifact! ”
“To be ruined to such an extent…”
The spectators’ pupils contracted, their eyes revealing horror.
Only to see the Golden Toad tumble out from the raging torrent, cove wounds, its body riddled with cracks, not knowing what sort of devas blows it had suffered that brought this defense-oriented supreme gra artifact to the brink of destruction.
As the onlookers were still in shock, with the Golden Toad still in mid-air, another angry wave exploded from within the vortex.
“Boom!”
As the wave exploded, a figure flew out, stepping into the sky in pursuit of the Golden Toad, fists flashing like lightning as they furiously bombarded it.
Thunder-Driving Lightning-Lifting skill!
Lightning Thunderbolt Fist! “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Boom!!!”
With thunder and lightning roaring, punches raining down wildly, under the continuous heavy strikes, the already severely damaged Golden Toad, pushed to its limits, finally couldn’t withstand any more and exploded thunderously into pieces.
The Golden Toad burst apart; the three men were flung out, faces pale and spitting blood. “Senior, please spare us!”
“We are willing to submit!”
Their magic artifact broken, sharing its fate, heavily injured, the three could only beg for mercy in hopes of survival.
However, the newcomer paid them no heed; fists flashing like lightning, they thundered out, bolts of electric light like dragons fleeing in terror, striking the bodies of the three men.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three explosive sounds were heard, akin to a splendid fireworks display bursting open in the sky.
Struck by lightning, their flesh blown to pieces, three Qi Cultivation tenth level, body-perfected Robbing Cultivators didn’t even get to leave last words before they were struck by lightning through their bodies; their internal organs became charred mush, while their heads and orifices emitted wisps of blue smoke.
The Three Scourges of White Dragon—dead!
The bodies of the three fell, sinking into the water.
Xu Yang leaped high, akin to an Ascendant Dragon Returning to the Sea, plunging into the roiling waters and vanishing in the blink of an eye.
In the end, the battlefield fell silent, leaving behind only a myriad of astounded spectators.
Staring at the lake still turbulent, yet empty of any figure, it took a long while for people to snap back to reality.
“This senior…”
“Really acts in an unconventional manner!”
“Punishing the wicked and evil without leaving a name, such high righteousness!”
“What high righteousness, isn’t this just smashing and grabbing then making a getaway…”
“You shout louder and call him back; see who’s making a getaway then.”
“Exactly, with incidents like robbing cultivators, can you even call it robbery?
That’s called Demon-Exterminating and Guard of The Dao!”
“This senior cultivates the Thunder Series, so fearsome, so fearsome!”
“Thunder and lighting are the key elements between heaven and earth; they can command everything in the Three Realms and the nine regions, subjugating all spells, all Divine Skills, all bodily abilities. As such, those who cultivate thunder techniques are called the kings of spell cultivators, their combat power even surpassing that of Sword Cultivators!”
“Among combat practitioners, the Sword Dao is supreme!”
“Among spell practitioners, thunder and lightning reign supreme!”
“We Cultivators traverse against the heavens, fearing nothing, the only dread being thunder and the Heavenly Tribulation. Those who cultivate the Thunder Series command the forces of heaven and earth with human might, every single one an invincible battle-strong figure.”
“Meeting such an end at the hands of such a person, the three fiends didn’t die unjustly, not even in the slightest!”
