Chapter 48 - 46 Because I Have More Spirit Stones Than You
Chapter 48: Chapter 46 Because I Have More Spirit Stones Than You
“What?!”
“What do you mean!?”
Xiang Pichi looked at the two unmoved low-ranking cultivators, not understanding why his heart suddenly panicked.
His spiritual sense was shocked, and he looked up at the sky.
From atop a giant tree, Hu Zi threw down 10 linked Array Stones.
Jiang Xiaobai’s hands emitted a white light, activating the Array Stones.
“Spirit Prohibition Array!”
Buzz!
The 10 Array Stones, carrying a massive spiritual pressure, descended from the sky, firmly enveloping Xiang Pichi and his gigantic puppet.
Boom!
Xiang Pichi’s two Earth Arms helplessly fell beside him, and the giant combined Earth Puppet also knelt on the ground, its eye sockets dimming as it lost the support of spiritual power.
“You actually have a Spirit Prohibition Array!”
Xiang Pichi now felt every bit of spiritual power inside his body unbearably heavy, each movement tremendously unsmooth; the two spells that required massive support of spiritual power had lost their effect.
The corner of Yang Shi’s mouth slightly lifted, with the reminder from his ancestors, he had long known all the spells of Xiang Pichi and naturally knew what his killer moves feared.
High-destructive power, defensive and offensive capabilities, long-lasting… but extremely exhausting to spiritual power!
Thus, his most precious possession was the Earth Essence Stone on his chest, which could store twice the Earth Spiritual Power of his own body and was as convenient as his own spiritual power when operating.
And this Spirit Prohibition Array, bought with those 35 Spirit Stones, was prepared just for him!
It could suppress a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator for the time it takes an incense stick to burn!
Now, the Divine Arm behind him lost enough spiritual power support, unable to move effectively, and in turn became Xiang Pichi’s greatest burden.
“Who exactly are you! Why do you understand my cultivation techniques so well!”
Xiang Pichi felt like someone stripped bare, watching Yang Shi approach, he shouted:
“I, Xiang someone, acknowledge few enemies. Who exactly are you, sir? Can you state your reasons?”
Yang Shi sneered, “Still want to delay time? Hu Zi, kill!”
From the towering tree, Hu Zi jumped down, brandishing a large blade towards Xiang Pichi.
“Gale Blade Technique!”
The great sword whipped up a fierce blade wind, ruthlessly slashing towards the movement-impaired Xiang Pichi.
Bang!
Xiang Pichi decisively abandoned the Divine Arm behind him, his left hand conjuring a bit of Earth Spiritual Power into a shield to block Hu Zi’s attack, sparks flying at the point of impact.
He took the opportunity to try to escape.
With a flick of Xiaobai’s fingers, the Spirit Prohibition Array raised a barrier, preventing Xiang Pichi from escaping, forcing him to engage in a man-to-man duel with Hu Zi.
“Level Eight Gale!”
Hu Zi unleashed his ultimate move, the Domineering Technique’s talent causing his muscles to swell, each strike stirring up a gust, eight gusts layering together, carrying the power of a tornado toward Xiang Pichi.
This mortal blade technique, had it not been for the prohibition before Xiang Pichi, a simple magic spell could have easily countered it.
Even an Earth Puppet could break through countless spells with brute force.
But now… with most of his spiritual power locked away, losing more than 90% of his power, he could only struggle awkwardly.
Although the Earth Essence Stone was also suppressed, it still constantly emitted small streams of Earth Spiritual Power to replenish Xiang Pichi.
“Earth Armor Technique!”
This plain yet effective technique protected Xiang Pichi’s entire body, resisting the Gale Sword Energy.
Xiang Pichi’s right hand reached to his waist and pulled out a White Bone Disc.
Clang!
A streak of dark light erupted from the disc, sending Hu Zi flying back, landing heavily and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Demon Device!”
On the bone-made disc, strands of black souls twined and struggled, faintly emitting piercing cries of agony.
Unless facing a life and death crisis, Xiang Pichi never revealed his Demon Device.
This White Bone Disc was refined from the bones taken from a cultivator while still alive.
Further refining different cultivator’s souls into it bolstered the might of the Demon Device.
Deeply sinister!
Any righteous cultivator would exterminate it on sight!
Xiang Pichi cackled, “Now that you have seen my trump card, today… you will become one of the members in my White Bone Disc.”
He was confident, this disc could protect him until the Array ended.
“Xiaobai, destroy his Demon Device!”
Xiaobai nodded, reaching into his robe and pulling out a red Talisman, intricately painted with runes, completely different from the ones thrown before.
The instant Xiang Pichi saw it, his face filled with horror!
“No!”
“Heavenly Thunder Slash!”
Boom!
A red thunderous blade cleaved from Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, its terrifying might making Xiang Pichi’s scalp go numb.
He barely lifted the White Bone Disc above his head, both impacting with a burst of dazzling light.
Ah!
Strands of black souls purified in the light of thunder, emitting sounds of liberation.
Crack!
The red thunder blade disappeared, and the White Bone Disc shattered into pieces.
Xiang Pichi, with disheveled hair, his face turned from horror to panic.
“High Rank… Qi Cultivation Talisman!”
It was still the Thunder Talisman, most restraining to Demon Devices!
He couldn’t believe that the opponent possessed such a high-level item.
This single talisman alone was worth hundreds of Spirit Stones!
“Die!”
“Traceless Sword Technique!”
After shattering the Magic Artifact, Yang Shi also rushed into the Spirit Prohibition Array, and together with Hu Zi, they attacked from both sides, leaving Xiang Pichi in a sorry state, devoid of any means to resist.
Xiang Pichi, relying on the Earth Spiritual Power of the Earth Essence Stone, continuously fortified his Earth Armor and consumed two Healing Pills, desperately holding on.
“Wooden Spear Technique!”
Jiang Xiaobai threw out talismans carelessly, and successive wooden spears shattered Xiang Pichi’s Earth Armor.
“You cannot kill me! The Xiang Family won’t let you go! Blood Soul Valley won’t let you go!” Xiang Pichi shouted wildly, his eyes filled with terror and fear.
“Wild Geese Crossing the Sky!”
Yang Shi seized the opportunity, his Flowing Water Sword like an agile wild goose, traced a beautiful arc through the air, piercing Xiang Pichi’s heart.
Xiang Pichi clutched his chest, falling down with a face full of reluctance.
“Why… why… why!”
Yang Shi, standing mercilessly on his bleeding body, replied coldly,
“Because I have more Spirit Stones than you.”
Xiang Pichi, dead.
“Phew… finally can catch my breath.”
Yang Genshuo, watching the entire battle unfold, unconsciously held his breath for so long he nearly suffocated.
This battle, except for the preparation phase, he had not intervened from beginning to end; Yang Shi successfully led this team to take down the Earth Element cultivator Xiang Pichi at the Qi Refinement Realm.
If Yang Genshuo were asked to summarize this battle, he could only say eight words:
“Steady and methodical, every step beset with killing intent!”
From start to finish, every move of Xiang Pichi was anticipated by them.
Even… the Iron-spined Grey Wolf and Xiao Huo, who were ambushed on Xiang Pichi’s retreat path, didn’t have a chance to strike.
Should Xiang Pichi have managed to escape from the Spirit Prohibition Array, the two Spirit Beasts would have delivered the fatal blow as he tried to flee!
Inside the frame, the three Yang Shi members also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Qi Cultivators… really hard to kill, even at just Qi Refinement first level, their means are far beyond ours; without the help of our ancestor, it would have been impossible to kill Xiang Pichi.”
Yang Shi felt somewhat emotional, as their ancestor had scouted out Xiang Pichi’s cultivation techniques and weaknesses. They had specifically bought the necessary talismans and Array Stones to keep him under pressure throughout.
“Lucky we had the attack talismans given by senior sister Murong; otherwise, all our preparations would have been in vain…”
Jiang Xiaobai used the Heavenly Thunder Slash Talisman to break the Demon Device, the coolest moment of the entire battle.
Hu Zi sat on the ground laughing happily.
“I never thought I could kill an Immortal… it’s like a dream.”
He felt this battle was something he could brag about for a lifetime.
Meanwhile, the trembling Slaves in hiding nervously returned.
They had witnessed the entire fight, already terrified to the extreme; at this moment, they had no spirit to resist Yang Shi’s trio, only hoping to survive themselves.
The only Slave with a Spirit Root, Ha Shi, amidst his fear, felt a hidden excitement.
“Is… this what Immortals are? Could I possibly become an Immortal too?”
Trembling, he walked a few steps forward and knelt on the ground.
“Master! Ha Shi wishes to lead his tribe to follow you throughout the ages!”
Yang Shi surveyed the Slave Tribe regally, and no one dared meet his gaze.
“From today onwards, you shall cultivate the Spirit Fields for me, understood?”
The Slaves hurriedly agreed.
Yang Shi then addressed Ha Shi, “Ha Shi, you manage this Spirit Field for me. If next year’s harvest is bountiful, I will impart to you the Immortal Cultivation Techniques; if there is the slightest mistake… you will end like that cultivator.”
“Yes, Master!”
Ha Shi trembled in response.
Yang Shi looked over the lake, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
A Spirit Lake, six acres of Spirit Fields, and some Spirit Fruits would henceforth be under the control of the Yang Family.
“No need to use the Spiritual Rain Skill with this Spirit Lake…. It’ll be much more convenient, and Xiaobai won’t need to shuttle through the dangerous Devil Wind Forest.”
“If we plant all six acres with Spiritual Grain, we’ll increase the yield by 3000 kilograms annually, resulting in 9000 more Grain Avoidance Cakes. If the Xuan Stone Sect purchases them, that would be… 1800 Low Grade Spirit Stones!”
“Sss~ struck it rich.”
While Yang Genshuo calculated the profits of the land, Hu Zi had already adeptly finished looting the bodies.
“Brother Shi, come over, there are good items!”
