Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 684 - 325: The Death of Yun Qing

"This puppet array is truly astonishing. This young man is absolutely not a being confined within a pond!" the cultivator in the moon-white robe transmitted his voice, filled with apprehension.

Carefully observing Xu Ping’s condition, he stood at the center of the array with a composed face, his eyes bright and full of spirit, his breath as enduring as the sea, showing no sign of panic.

That lively appearance, calm demeanor, clearly indicated he could persist for a long time.

If this stalemate continues, it may attract more changes.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

This task was a failure.

They had already prepared thoroughly.

But who could have thought that a Golden Core Cultivator would have such means? This was practically a Nascent Soul elder in Golden Core disguise.

The only choice now is to retreat and execute the second plan.

"Retreat!"

The cultivator in the black robe waved his hand, issuing the retreat order.

Following the command, the Golden Core Cultivators attacking the Purple Essence Ore vein swiftly retreated to the quasi-fourth-rank spirit ship, instantly changing the battlefield situation.

The previously overwhelming crisis was immediately alleviated, and the defenders of the Purple Essence Ore vein finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Hmph!"

However, at this moment, Xu Ping sneered, "Do you think my Purple Essence Ore vein is a place you can come and go as you please?"

Although with his current puppet array he could indeed suppress the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, killing them was basically impossible.

However—if he couldn’t deal with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, can he not handle those Golden Core Cultivators?

A glint of coldness flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes, like a breath of chilly autumn wind.

His Divine Sense moved, controlling the puppet array, first repelling the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, then like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain, pouncing on the retreating Golden Core Cultivators.

The puppet array exploded with ten thousand rays of light, covering from all sides, like a giant net enveloping those fleeing Golden Core Cultivators.

"Ah—"

Mournful screams echoed incessantly.

In just a breath’s time, at least seven or eight Golden Core Cultivators were massacred by this terrifying puppet array, transforming into nothingness.

Those cultivators had no power to resist, as fragile as paper in face of the puppet array, collapsing with a single blow.

"Stop—"

Seeing this, the cultivator in the black robe was furious and panic-stricken, roaring in anger.

These Golden Core Cultivators were all painstakingly nurtured elites, each cultivated at great resource expense, the backbone of their forces.

Such instant casualties, how could they not feel heartbroken?

But Xu Ping wouldn’t care about these.

The opponents were clearly aiming to kill him. Without his trump puppet array, he might have already been destroyed.

He naturally couldn’t be lenient.

A fierce slaughter unfolded in the void.

The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs tried to stop Xu Ping, but the puppet array’s power was too formidable, every strike they made was mercilessly blocked by the puppet array.

Under Xu Ping’s ferocious offense, the Golden Core Cultivators were almost entirely slaughtered.

Only a few managed to flee back to the quasi-fourth-rank spirit ship under the protection of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Go!"

The two Nascent Soul True Monarchs shouted in unison, their bodies brimming with killing intent, glaring hatefully at Xu Ping, covering the retreat of the quasi-fourth-rank spirit ship from the battlefield.

Xu Ping watched from afar but did not pursue.

Though the puppet array was immensely powerful, almost unbreakable, its strength lay in positional warfare. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

If transformed into pursuit or skirmish warfare, not only would it fail to exert its proper power, but it would also easily expose weaknesses, yielding little advantage.

However, through brief engagement, Xu Ping already had a rough guess at the identities of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Emperor family of the Tu clan, Red Sand Sect!"

A sharp killing intent flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

With his current strength, he indeed struggled to fight against either of these forces, let alone both simultaneously.

But once he fully achieved Nascent Soul, things would be different.

Moreover, True Monarch Yun Qing, although he hadn’t appeared or directly acted.

Xu Ping had concluded—he must have been involved too.

"Since you choose to make a move against me, don’t blame me!"

Considering True Monarch Lan Ling’s position, Xu Ping had originally intended to let them off, allowing some grievances to rest.

But the opponent was seeking death.

Yet, now was clearly not the time to act, still requiring patience!

"Elder Yan!"

"Hurray!"

At this moment, witnessing Xu Ping’s mighty prowess, single-handedly battling two Nascent Soul Cultivators, the disciples of Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in the Purple Essence Ore vein were ecstatic, shouting aloud, their eyes filled with reverence and fervor.

They could hardly believe this Elder Yan, usually reclusive, was so formidable, facing two Nascent Soul True Monarchs with ease, even achieving a major victory.

With Elder Yan present, the Purple Essence Ore vein was definitely impregnable!

....

Half an hour later.

Forbidden area of the Purple Essence Ore vein.

In the center of the secret chamber, on a sandalwood table, lay more than twenty Storage Rings.

The owners of these rings were the Golden Core Cultivators slain by Xu Ping.

After easily dispelling the Divine Sense inscriptions on them, Xu Ping directly invaded them with his Divine Sense, beginning the search.

A moment later.

Xu Ping showed a hint of surprise on his face, his brows slightly raised: "Why do these cultivators have so much Purple Essence Ore?"

"Also, there are actually three pieces of Fourth Rank Purple Essence Ore motherstone?"

A flicker of astonishment passed through Xu Ping’s eyes, followed by understanding.

Considering these cultivators had plundered the ore vein, having Purple Essence Ore was indeed normal.

But now he benefited from it.
