Chapter 555: Fighting a Peak Earthly Core Realm Expert!
Rumble!
Just then, the phantom of the middle-aged man in golden robes waved his hand, and the gate of the Life-Death Pass rumbled shut once more. After that, his figure merged back into the ancient bronze mirror and disappeared in a flash of golden light.
The next time he appeared would be when another batch of cultivators arrived and the gate opened again.
"Kid, hand over the Mansa Flower."
"Treasures of heaven and earth belong to those capable of keeping them. Little fellow, you are only at the 7th level of Mortal Core Realm, so this Mansa Flower is wasted on you. I advise you to give it to me. If you do, I can guarantee your safety."
"Why waste so many words? In my opinion, we should just kill this kid and take the Mansa Flower."
As soon as the phantom of the middle-aged man in golden robes disappeared, the eyes of a dozen cultivators flickered with greed. They exchanged glances, then stepped forward at the same time.
These dozen or so cultivators were all at the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm. Greed flashed in their eyes as they surrounded Li Yun in an instant.
"Hand over the Mansa Flower?"
Surrounded by more than a dozen cultivators, Li Yun remained completely fearless. His expression was calm as he said indifferently, "What if I am unwilling?"
"If you are unwilling, then die."
A large man in yellow robes gave a cruel laugh and became the first to strike. He flipped his palm, formed it into a hand blade, and chopped down fiercely toward Li Yun.
"Kill!"
At the same time, the other cultivators seemed afraid that the large man in yellow robes would seize the treasure first. They all rushed to attack at once. For a moment, essence qi surged wildly, and whistling force drowned Li Yun like a violent tide.
"Supreme Hegemony Fist!"
Li Yun’s face remained calm as he suddenly threw a punch, unleashing the full strength of Supreme Hegemony Fist.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, the dozen or so cultivators were all sent flying by the vast fist imprint. As for the large man in yellow robes who had attacked first, he was killed on the spot.
"What?"
"With just one punch, he sent more than a dozen 8th level Earthly Core Realm cultivators flying. Is he really only in the Mortal Core Realm?"
"I could not have seen that wrong."
This scene shocked all the surrounding cultivators. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Normally, a cultivator at the 7th level of Mortal Core Realm would be killed by an Earthly Core Realm cultivator with a casual flip of the hand. Yet Li Yun had instead sent more than a dozen 8th level Earthly Core Realm cultivators flying with a single punch. This scene nearly shattered their understanding of common sense.
"So he is a body cultivator."
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
A pale-faced middle-aged man in brocade robes stepped forward with a faint smile that did not reach his eyes. He looked at Li Yun indifferently and said, "A physical body equivalent to the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm is not bad. No wonder you could cross the Lost Great Desert. However, since you are a body cultivator, this Mansa Flower is useless to you. Kid, you should hand it over to me."
"Hm?"
As soon as the pale-faced man finished speaking, many people turned their gazes toward him.
A short and stocky middle-aged man frowned and said, "Bai Han, you are a peak Earthly Core Realm cultivator after all. The Mansa Flower is already completely useless to you. Are you truly not ashamed to rob a junior of something you cannot even use?"
"What I do is none of your business."
The pale-faced man narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Do not think that just because we are both at the peak of Earthly Core Realm, you have the right to speak in front of me. If you truly make me unhappy, believe it or not, I will kill you as well."
"You!"
The stocky man’s expression froze, and his face immediately turned ugly.
Even among those at the peak of Earthly Core Realm, there was a significant gap in strength. He had only just entered this level, while Bai Han had stayed there for five full years. Even among peak Earthly Core Realm cultivators, Bai Han was considered outstanding.
If he truly fought Bai Han, although he was confident he could preserve his life, he would certainly suffer serious injuries. For a stranger like Li Yun, it was not worth tearing apart all pretenses with a madman like Bai Han.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and shut his mouth, saying nothing more.
"That is more like it."
Bai Han smiled arrogantly, then looked at Li Yun and said indifferently, "Kid, you saw it too. Even this peak Earthly Core Realm fellow does not dare to defy me, let alone a mere body cultivator like you. Alright, hand over the Mansa Flower. I am in a hurry to reach the next pass."
"I said that I will not hand over the Mansa Flower."
Li Yun’s face remained calm as he looked at Bai Han and said indifferently, "And you do not have the qualifications to make me hand it over."
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Han’s face instantly changed. He sneered and said, "Kid, do you really think that just because you are a body cultivator, you have the right to act arrogantly in front of me? Let me tell you this. Even inside this secret realm, and even if you are a body cultivator, a peak Earthly Core Realm expert is still not someone you can afford to offend."
"White Devil Fan!"
As he spoke, a fan suddenly appeared in Bai Han’s hand.
The fan was cyan in color, and its surface was covered with extremely delicate yet strange patterns. When those patterns gathered together, they formed the image of a white-faced devil head.
Bai Han held the fan and waved it fiercely. Amid the whistling gale, clouds of cyan qi diffused outward and condensed into the white-faced devil head depicted on the fan. The devil head let out a sharp, piercing shriek, then roared as it pounced toward Li Yun.
"Die, you useless body cultivator."
A sinister smile appeared on Bai Han’s face, as if he could already see Li Yun’s body being torn to pieces by the white-faced devil head.
"Who told you that I am a body cultivator?"
At that moment, Li Yun gave a cold laugh. He flipped his palm, and his sword appeared in his hand. Then, he swung out a single strike.
"Heaven-Intent Sword Art!"
Whoosh!
A streak of Sword Qi shot out instantly, reaching a terrifying speed of fifteen times the speed of sound. It was like a silver river hanging across the sky. With a flash of cold light, before anyone could react, the silver Sword Qi had already torn the white-faced devil head apart.
"What?"
This sword strike gave the pale-faced middle-aged man a massive shock. He had never expected Li Yun to neutralize his attack with a single strike.
Was this kid not a body cultivator?
Was he not only at the 7th level of Mortal Core Realm?
How could the power of this sword strike actually contend with his own attack?
Although Bai Han’s essence qi was being suppressed by an entire realm, he still should not have been unable to deal with a cultivator at the 7th level of Mortal Core Realm.
