Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 529 - 527: A Hint of Sword Intent in Qiyun Tower

"These despicable robbery cultivators, daring to bully my Shuiyun Pavilion..."

The shopkeeper, also a vibrant Golden Core Early Stage, waved his sleeve dramatically and declared sternly, "Do not panic. All protecting cultivators, follow me to face the enemy, quickly!"

In flickers of tunneling light, over a dozen figures dashed toward the store entrance.

Ning Daoran frowned; he wanted no part in this conflict, and he knew nothing of these robbery cultivators’ identities or origins. It was even less appropriate to act rashly now.

"Boom~~~"

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from outside the store; the protection array of Shuiyun Pavilion shattered amidst a buzzing noise, with a gigantic purple flying shuttle flashing across the sky and directly breaking the array! frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Not good!"

Only then did the shopkeeper of Shuiyun Pavilion realize the gravity of the situation!

With such a tactic, the opposition was no ordinary group of robbery cultivators. The leader, possessing the fighting strength of Golden Core Middle Stage, was an old man in green robe, with an aura of a great power playing the role of a robbery cultivator!

In an instant, several sword lights slashed from all directions, with multiple Golden Core Early Stage sword cultivators striking together!

The shopkeeper of Shuiyun Pavilion turned pale with fright, hesitating briefly before activating a magical treasure to block several streaks of sword qi. But as the magical treasure emitted trembling sounds, the Green Robe Old Man surged forward, placing a hand on the shopkeeper’s forehead.

"Puff!"

A splash of fresh blood erupted, leading to direct extermination!

"Shopkeeper!"

A group of attendant cultivators stood agape.

"Kill!"

With a shout, the Green Robe Old Man swiftly spun into the store. Flicks of green sword light swept across, instantly dismembering five Foundation Establishment follower cultivators.

"Hmm?"

The Green Robe Old Man glanced over and noticed Ji Ning.

The next moment, his gaze intensified, a wave of Golden Core Middle Stage spiritual pressure enveloped the area, followed by surging sword intent. A series of indigo sword qi, like serpents, came from all directions intending to kill Ji Ning in an instant!

"Ah?!"

Ji Ning slightly trembled.

She was extremely shocked; as soon as these robbery cultivators appeared, Ji Ning had guessed their identities.

This street’s shops all belonged to the Beast Taming Sect, and given the Sect was joining forces with the Martial God Pavilion to reclaim Liuyun Mountain, it was very likely that these numerous robbery cultivators attacking the shops were instigated by Qiyun Tower.

But Qingfu Square was also property of Qiyun Tower. These old robbery cultivators began the assault without a word—are they not recognizing their own, like a big flood washing over Dragon King Temple?

"Seeking death!"

During Ji Ning’s shock, a figure stood before her.

Ning Daoran waved his hand, producing a loud "slap" sound as the Dragon Demon Power howled, instantly extinguishing the Green Robe Old Robbery Cultivator’s sword qi. He then swiftly drew his sword and cleaved towards the old man from a distance.

"What?!"

The old man was taken aback, hurriedly pouring a vast amount of mana into his inner armor. Suddenly, the glow of a Third-tier Low-Grade Treasure Armor surged, tightly shielding his body.

"Whoosh!"

Beyond the old man’s imagination, Ning Daoran’s sword intent still penetrated the treasure armor, instantaneously slashing into his body and embedding a mark within his Divine Soul.

"Not good!"

The robbery cultivator reeled back dozens of paces, extremely shaken: "There’s a master here, quick, retreat!"

"Master, how is it?"

Many robbery cultivators hastily gathered around the old man, preparing to leave.

"Humph..."

Ning Daoran’s gaze was indifferent, he did not pursue. There was no need for that; the old man was struck by his Dragon Demon Sword Intent and his fate was sealed, not even a Daluo Immortal could save him.

"Ji Ning, we should return to Liuyun Mountain Cave Mansion. This place is not suitable to linger."

"Okay, Senior Ning..."

Ji Ning looked shocked, hastily following Ning Daoran as they flew from Shuiyun Pavilion.

However, outside was a total chaos, with at least several hundred robbery cultivators having invaded the street, attacking nearly every shop, and engaging in ruthless killing and looting without leaving any survivors.

For a moment, Ji Ning’s brows were slightly furrowed.

Even though Qiyun Tower used the robbery cultivators to counteract the Beast Taming Sect, did they really need to go this far?

"There are two more over there!"

Below, several robbery cultivators looked up and saw Ning Daoran and Ji Ning.

"Kill!"

Several people ascended into the air.

Ning Daoran waved his sleeve, from which streams of blood-red sword light flew out, instantly turning those seven or eight robbery cultivators into mangled corpses.

"Not good!"

A robbery cultivator stationed in an upstairs pavilion gravely spoke: "This senior is a Nascent Soul, no one should attack this Nascent Soul senior..."

He hastily cupped his fists: "Senior, our targets are only the shops, we mean no offense to you!"

Ning Daoran, with an indifferent gaze, glanced at him. It was only because he did not care to meddle further, otherwise none of these robbery cultivators would have a chance to live!

While being swept by Ning Daoran’s indifferent gaze, the Golden Core elder felt a chill surge from his tailbone to the top of his skull, utterly terrifying. For a split second, it felt like he had walked through Ghost Gate!

...

Dongming City, ancient land of Qiyun Tower.

A towering building stood, reaching into the clouds.

Above the top floor, an elder dressed in a grayish-white robe, emitting the aura of a Mid-stage Nascent Soul, sat tranquilly on an armchair, his gaze indifferently towards the direction of the distant shops.

Beside him, on his left lay a giant turtle covered with green patterns, radiating the aura of an Early Stage Nascent Soul, while on the dead wood on his right coiled a bamboo stick insect, almost imperceptible, also emitting the aura of an Early Stage Nascent Soul.

Jing Long, Ancestor of Qiyun Tower, a Great Cultivator whose might shook the region.

And the ransacking of a street of shops owned by the Beast Taming Sect was the doing of Jing Long.

Qiyun Tower dominated the region, firmly entrenched. Now, Lu Yunzhou, through deceptive means, conspired with the State Preceptor aspiring to uproot Qiyun Tower from Hun State, so naturally, Qiyun Tower would not sit idly by.

When experts clashed, every move aimed straight for the vital points!

The Beast Taming Sect wanted the foundation of Qiyun Tower’s Liuyun Mountain, so Qiyun Tower annihilated a thousand of the Beast Taming Sect’s shops!

"Shua shua shua~~~"

Among the clouds, figures broke through the wind and descended onto the eaves outside Qiyun Tower; leading them was an old Robbery Cultivator in the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, followed by several of his Golden Core Early Stage disciples.

"Hm?"

Jing Long frowned slightly, sneering: "Fellow Taoist Nange, what is this about?"

The Robbery Cultivator known as "Master Nange," was originally a great cultivator who mingled around the Star Fallen Mountain Range.

"Please save me, Ancestor of Qiyun Tower..."

Master Nange actually kneeled outside, his face streaming with sweat as he said: "I, by senior’s order, led my disciples into the streets of shops, but unexpectedly, we were attacked by a Nascent Soul Cultivator; I am already on the brink of death, begging the ancestor to save me..."

Saying so, Master Nange ’spurt’ out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Master!"

Several disciples exclaimed in shock.

"A Nascent Soul stage attack?"

Old Ancestor Jing, with a chillingly sharp gaze, said: "Could it be the Fire Element True Monarch residing on Liuyun Mountain?"

"Very likely!"

Master Nange pained, "That person wore a red robe, accompanied by a lady; she somewhat resembles Guild Leader Ji of Qingfu Square..."

"Hmph!"

Old Ancestor Jing indifferently replied: "In that case, it must be him indeed. I had already learned from intelligence that this Fire Element True Monarch had acquaintances with Guild Leader Ji. They do have some relations. But Guild Leader Ji is the master of Qingfu Square, essentially one of our own from Qiyun Tower. Why would the Fire Element True Monarch attack you?"

"Ancestor sees clearly..."

Master Nange dared not tell the truth; he originally planned to capture Ji Ning sneakily and bring her back as a concubine, but he didn’t expect a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator to be hiding by her side, and the aura of that Fire Element True Monarch was not even revealed!

"I know Guild Leader Ji is one of our own, but that Fire Element True Monarch attacked without distinguishing friend from foe. Please save me, ancestor; I can hardly hold on..."

Saying so, Master Nange kneeled on the eave, sweat dripping, all his meridians tensed, his skin cracked, his whole body about to burst open.

"Hmph!"

Jing Long’s gaze turned icy: "Fine, let’s see what this Fire Element True Monarch has up his sleeve!"

Saying so, Jing Long directly released his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, starting to examine Master Nange’s body and Divine Soul.

It wasn’t just that the insides of his body were filled with chaotic, densely packed Sword Qi, but when Jing Long’s Divine Sense entered Master Nange’s Divine Soul World, he was instantly startled!

"Hum—"

Master Nange’s Divine Soul World was ragged, like a mountain range about to collapse, and there in the middle of that mountain range stood a blood-colored long sword that crossed thousands of miles!

Around the long sword, wisps of blood-colored Dragon Energy spread out, as if a True Dragon was coiled within, sending a chill to the bone!

A strand of Sword Intent, and moreover, a particularly thick strand of Dragon Demon Sword Intent.

"This..."

Jing Long’s look turned frosty, his divine sense transformed into a body moving forward, raised a hand and conjured a green palm, attempting to touch this Dragon Demon Sword Intent.

"Roar!"

Unexpectedly, a Dragon Roar thundered forth suddenly, the Dragon Demon Sword Intent humming incessantly, the blood-colored True Dragon raised its hand, biting towards Jing Long’s strand of Divine Sense!

"Not good!"

Jing Long was alarmed and hastily retreated, but it was already too late.

Along with a "crack", a large part of his Divine Sense was devoured by the Dragon Demon Sword Intent, and this strand of Dragon Demon Sword Intent seemed to rage against Jing Long similarly, the giant sword inserted on the mountain waist buzzing loudly, nearly leaving this Divine Soul World to attack Jing Long directly!

"Trouble!"

Jing Long hastily pulled his Divine Sense from Master Nange’s Divine Soul World.

And immediately unleashed a Prohibition, sealing Master Nange’s physical body, preventing that Dragon Demon Sword Intent from exiting and harming others.

Master Nange knelt on the ground, head hung low, silent.

"Old Ancestor Jing!"

His few disciples were shocked: "How is my master... my master doing?"

"Not so bad, he’s dead."

Jing Long stated blandly.

"Ah?! How is that possible?"

Several disciples were dumbfounded.

The next second, the Sword Qi within Master Nange burst forth, the Dragon Demon Sword Intent finally exploded, "Peng" sounded as a several-zhang-wide massive blood-colored Sword Intent blew up, not only Master Nange’s body was devoured and turned into fragments, but even the few disciples nearby were also caught in the crossfire, together turning into several clumps of blood rain in the midair!

"Vumm vumm~~~"

Qiyun Tower hummed, the Prohibitions laid within the building radiating rosy light, completely blocking the killing power of the Sword Intent on the outside!

...

Jing Long’s gaze turned piercing, drifting into deep thought.

A mere strand of Sword Intent was terrifyingly strong to this extent; just who on earth is this Fire Element True Monarch?
