Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 699: 782 Strike first to gain the upper hand

Besides these attacks of True Qi,

there was also a rain of arrows condensed from True Qi, dense like a swarm of locusts, rushing forward. The piercing power of the arrows was extremely strong, seemingly wanting to tear apart everyone’s bodies.

"Stay behind me," Chen Mo said to Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing and the other women.

"Bind!"

When the rain of arrows was still ten zhang away from everyone, Zuoqiu Yiren appeared riding a gourd in the void. She pointed her finger, and an invisible barrier blocked in front of the disciples, intercepting all the arrows, which then dissipated into True Qi into the sky and earth.

But soon, a huge White Bone Hand emerged from the void, slamming harshly onto the invisible barrier.

The barrier shattered at the sound, falling like broken glass.

The evil cultivators blocked by the barrier continued to pounce towards the disciples.

Chen Mo directly summoned the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Spear, and it spun into a thunderous spear flower, protecting himself and the women behind him, intercepting all the incoming attacks one by one.

Seeing the evil cultivators pouncing forward, Chen Mo knew the real training had begun. Turning back, he said to the women, "Be careful, don’t stray too far from me. If there’s danger, I can still protect you somewhat."

After speaking, he charged towards the evil cultivators.

With a sweep of the spear, thousands of thunderbolts paved the way, knocking several evil cultivators from the sky. With a casual strike, he beheaded one of the evil cultivators and put it in the Qiankun Ring as evidence of mission completion.

Soon, a large group of evil cultivators was engaged in a chaotic battle with the disciples.

"Hmph, even with one arm severed by me, you still dare to appear."

Zuoqiu Yiren lazily sat up, looking towards the void where the White Bone Hand had appeared.

From the void, a skeleton shrouded in a blood-red robe emerged, devoid of any flesh, all just bones. It appeared fragile yet emitted an extremely cold and terrifying aura.

"Venerable White Bone, it truly is you," Zuoqiu Yiren raised an eyebrow and said, "Is your Blood Demon Technique not well-practised? Five hundred years ago, you were in the Void Realm; five hundred years later, you’re still in the Void Realm. If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to show my face."

The gourd beneath her feet shrunk, and Zuoqiu Yiren stood in the void, taking a gulp of wine while holding the gourd, completely dismissing the presence of Venerable White Bone.

Such a contemptuous attitude infuriated Venerable White Bone as he coldly said, "Once I refine you, I can naturally break through."

"Hic..."

Zuoqiu Yiren set down the gourd, burped, and gave Venerable White Bone a sidelong glance, saying, "Five hundred years ago, you were alright; now, you’re no match for me."

With that, she moved her finger. Amidst a flickering purple light, the Merak Sword shot out from her body, transforming into a purple ray, stabbing towards Venerable White Bone.

"Arrogant."

Venerable White Bone roared, forming seals rapidly with his hands, chanting incantations. In a flash, his body grew enormous. His blood robe, seemingly a treasure, enlarged along with his body without getting torn, then it swatted the incoming Merak Sword away.

"Interesting."

Zuoqiu Yiren grew slightly intrigued, stowing the gourd back into her body and began confronting Venerable White Bone.

...

On another side.

Puchi!

Chen Mo’s spear pierced through an evil cultivator’s magical robe, stabbing a hole in his heart. He pulled him over, stripped off the space ornaments he was wearing, then incinerated him to ashes with Taiyi Divine Fire.

Killing!

Looting!

Arson!

And killing again...

The entire process was extremely swift and efficient.

Chen Mo charged among the evil cultivators, his body as slippery as an eel, his spear shooting forward like a meteor with a vigorous aura. With the Fighting Saint Body, the longer he fought, the stronger he became.

Encountering evil cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm, Chen Mo would immediately retreat, leaving them to the Inner Sect disciples of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Chen Mo was fine, but other Inner Sect and Outer Sect disciples found themselves overwhelmed.

Some disciples led the evil cultivators into the dense forest below, hoping to use the terrain to defeat them.

Chen Mo’s gaze swept over, noticing that Suzhou Ze and Liu Jingchun were both confronting evil cultivators but not giving their all, occasionally casting glances towards his direction.

"Looking for a chance to kill me? Fine, I’ll oblige you."

When a mid-Golden Core Realm evil cultivator charged at him, Chen Mo flew into the forest below.

Suzhou Ze and Liu Jingchun naturally noticed, finally stopped hiding their strength, and quickly followed up after killing the entangled evil cultivators, even calling out, "Junior Brother Chen Mo, we’re coming to help you."

The other disciples were too busy to notice, even if they did, they wouldn’t suspect anything.

After all, both had been quite close to Chen Mo recently, so offering a hand now wasn’t surprising.

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

In the dense forest, with the branches and leaves covering the view from above.

Chen Mo executed the Profound Celestial Dragon Control Fifth Technique—Flying Dragon in the Sky, resolving the pursuing mid-Golden Core Realm evil cultivator with a single move.

When Suzhou Ze and Liu Jingchun arrived, Chen Mo was looting the bodies.

"There’s a gold belt for killing and setting fires, even a Golden Core Realm evil cultivator is so fat, deserving to be killed." Chen Mo said while pocketing the belt-style space ornament.

"Junior Brother Chen Mo, are you alright?" The two approached Chen Mo with concern, looking entirely kind-hearted.

Not knowing, one might think they had encountered warm-hearted senior brothers.

"I’m fine. Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Liu, come take a look, what’s this in my hand?" Chen Mo took out a piece of upper-grade Treasure Medicine, pretending not to understand as he waved it in front of the two, looking for advice.

"Yin Yang Green Spirit Grass!"

Upon seeing the Treasure Medicine in Chen Mo’s hand, the two were shocked. Seeing his earnest appearance, both approached with ulterior motives, yet without any defense toward him.

Just a step away from Chen Mo, as they were ready to act,

"Heaven and Earth Lose Color!"

"Red Dragon Demon Arm Opening!"

"Galaxy Constellations Fist..."

Chen Mo moved swiftly. Firstly, he shrouded the two with Heaven and Earth Lose Color, then fully opened the four Profound Gates of the Red Dragon Demon Arm. Gathered all the True Qi in his fists, during their caution, he fiercely punched out, hitting their chests, blasting the two away. They smashed into a large tree and only then stopped, spitting blood.

The two were indeed late-Golden Core Realm cultivators, not dying immediately from such a heavy blow from Chen Mo, yet losing all ability to fight, like lambs to the slaughter.

The two spat blood, faces pale, "Chen... Junior Brother Chen Mo, what... are you doing?"

Seeing Chen Mo approaching step by step, even summoning the Top Grade Magical Artifact, their voices trembled slightly.

"Stop pretending, dear Senior Brothers, I already know you were sent by the Dragon Xiaoyao faction to kill me." Chen Mo said calmly.

The two were shocked, cold sweat dripping down their backs—how did he find out?
