Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 672: Chunjiang City—Teeming With Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers

Chapter 672: Chunjiang City—Teeming With Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers

The civilians near the dungeon were scared out of their wits when they saw the assassins swarming out.

These assassins all possessed cultivation; killing the commoners would be as easy as flipping one’s hand!

But what these civilians didn’t know was that while they were afraid, the assassins were even more afraid.

Although the Dark Night Pavilion had many assassins, none were a match for Lu Yang’s trio. Even Nascent Soul assassins couldn’t withstand one move, much less the Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Training assassins below them. A single strike could kill several assassins at once.

“Split up and run!”

The assassins were horrified. They liked killing people, but they didn’t like killing themselves. These three were simply not opponents they could handle.

Anyone with eyes could see that surviving this battle meant they could latch onto a half-immortal’s thigh to achieve a meteoric rise, commanding the winds and rain and getting whatever they wanted in the future. Their prospects would be boundless.

They absolutely couldn’t fall into these three’s hands!

“Trying to run?” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou exchanged a glance and acted simultaneously, circling the assassins.

“Draw Underground Prison!”

“Draw Ground as Prison!”

Before most assassins could react, they were trapped in cages—either above ground or below ground!

“What move is this?!”

The assassins panicked. The cage below ground was indestructible; daggers broke upon contact. The one above ground was not a cage but a luminous circle; no one could leave the circle’s range!

Some quick-witted assassins recognized they couldn’t win against Lu Yang and the others and fled early.

“Split up and chase!”

Shi Chan retracted his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. His feet seemed to grow wings as he strode through the air, covering a hundred zhang with each step, almost like it was teleportation.

One of Buddhism’s Six Divine Abilities—Divine Foot Ability.

As a physique cultivator, Meng Jingzhou wasn’t known for flying speed, but relying on the explosive power of his legs, he was many times faster than flying.

He just couldn’t match Shi Chan’s speed.

“This won’t do. It’s still too slow.” Meng Jingzhou hesitated. I originally didn’t want to use this move, but lives are at stake here. It’s not the time to care about my image.

“Very well. I’ll let the world witness the might of the Double Infants Stage!” He withdrew his Three Heads Six Arms and fused his twin nascent souls again, growing six legs from his lower body.

I can’t perform the Six Divine Abilities, but I can grow six legs!

“Stop there, don’t run!” Meng Jingzhou targeted one assassin, all six legs propelling forward as he charged toward him.

The assassin glanced back, and his soul nearly left his body out of fright.

A six-legged monster was rapidly closing in. Then, a fist the size of a sandbag smashed toward him, killing him in one strike.

Meng Jingzhou was brimming with lethal intent. Any assassin who sees me in this form today, every single one of them shall not live to see another day!

Lu Yang controlled his clone to intercept the assassins while he piloted the Sword-Cleansing Pond, the Qingfeng and Mingyue swords flanking him like protectors as he moved.

The moment he spotted an assassin, the two swords would instantly fly forth and claim their heads, or he would simply ram them with the Sword-Cleansing Pond, crushing them into a bloody pulp.

~~~

An assassin realized escape was impossible if things continued like this; they had to find hostages.

He flew into a wealthy household. People living in such places were either rich or noble—perfect candidates for hostages.

“Don't move! I’ll kill whoever moves!” he threatened harshly. Bursting into the room, he stared fixedly at the master of the house.

Four pairs of eyes filled with killing intent stared back at him eerily.

“You dare threaten my hubby?”

Four figures surrounded the assassin, making him break out in a cold sweat. He could sense that each figure’s cultivation surpassed his own.

Before he could react, a massive snake tail swept across, smashing him until not a single bone remained intact, extinguishing his life instantly.

“What exactly is happening?” Liu Xiangyu’s brows were tightly knitted.

Everything had occurred too suddenly. They had no idea about the specifics in Chunjiang City, except that immense energy fluctuations were overhead, far beyond their cultivation levels. It was a battle they couldn’t interfere at all. A single energy wave could crush them countless times over.

“Little Qiu, you have defensive capabilities. Stay here and protect hubby. The three of us will go out to assess the situation and see if we can help.”

“Alright, Mistress.”

~~~

A smarter assassin chose a shop.

“Nobody moves!”

The assassin released the oppressive aura of the Basic Golden Core Stage, which was catastrophic for mortals. Based on experience, once he did so, mortals would tremble and couldn’t even stand.

But reality was completely different.

The shop attendants seemed unaffected by the oppressive pressure. They looked up simultaneously, staring at the assassin with odd expressions.

“Oh ho, you have quite the guts, don’t you? Daring to even threaten us!”

“Close the door. Don’t let him escape!”

“Damn it! Even running an honest business attracts assassins. It’s tough being an honest person.”

The assassin stumbled back two steps, a sense of foreboding seeping into his heart.

He turned to flee, but the shop’s door slammed shut by itself, fitting tightly. No one could see the situation inside through the cracks.

“Help...”

“Gag him!”

Bang!

The assassin burst the door open. He lay on the ground, crawling out arduously.

The shop’s interior was pitch black. Countless hands reached out from the darkness, grabbing the assassin’s ankles and dragging him back in.

The assassin desperately scraped the ground with his nails, yet he could only leave white scratches.

The door closed again, and after that, there was no more noise.

Perhaps the door was shut too forcefully; the signboard reading “One More Time Barbeque Shop: Chunjiang City Branch” swayed twice.

~~~

There were also beggars who suddenly turned violent, grappling with the assassins.

Witnessing such a scene, Lu Yang recalled what Yun Zhi had once said. Real beggars were rare nowadays; the ones seen nowadays were cultivators training in the mundane realm.

Although these cultivators weren’t as powerful as Lu Yang and the others, they were more than enough to deal with the assassins.

The One-Qi Venerable Lord laughed heartily upon seeing Lu Yang’s trio rout the assassins until they pissed their pants. “This is the assassin organization you wanted to preserve?”

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was a major figure who had experienced the struggle for dominion in the late Great Yu era; such matters wouldn’t disrupt his mental state.

Without a word, he conjured countless magical treasures out of thin air: sabers, spears, swords, halberds, precious cauldrons, divine pagodas, jade vases, cattail-leaf fans—all at the Transcendent Tribulation level.

The Void Realm was his home ground. He could create anything below the level of immortals. If he attained an immortal Dao Fruit, he could even turn illusion into reality, making the Void Realm a brand new world—not a small world like a cave domain, but an enormous cosmic world.

At that time, he would be the bona fide leader of that world.

The Transcendent Tribulation-grade treasures fell like rain, but were all blocked by the purple qi that stretched thirty thousand li. The Innate Purple Qi was riddled with holes after this onslaught of attacks.

“I’d like to see how many attacks your purple qi can block.”

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord conjured another batch of numerous Transcendent Tribulation magical treasures suspended in the air. He hurled them toward City Lord Liu and the others, forcing the One-Qi Venerable Lord to bear the brunt of the attacks.

He had imprisoned City Lord Liu and the others instead of killing them precisely for the aim of tying down the One-Qi Venerable Lord!

“Void Emptiness Supreme Lord!” the One-Qi Venerable Lord bellowed in rage.

“What, you want to beg for mercy...” The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord sneered, but before he could finish, a boundless force sucked him into a gourd.

The One-Qi Venerable Lord hurriedly covered the gourd’s opening.

The precious gourd had a purple base adorned with golden patterns. If one answered when their name was called, they could be sucked inside.

This was the Purple-Gold Gourd.
