Ye Qiu saw it clearly. After that beam of golden light burst out from the crown of Jiang Feng’s head, it quickly transformed into a golden illusory little figure the size of a fist, with features identical to Jiang Feng’s.
Especially those eyes, filled with venomous resentment, as if they wanted to swallow Ye Qiu alive.
At the same time, Ye Qiu noticed that Jiang Feng’s head had fallen into a very strange state, as if his soul had vanished in an instant.
“If we meet again someday, this city lord will surely tear you to pieces.”
The golden little figure spoke with a human voice. After saying that, it whooshed and fled into the distance.
“This is… the primordial spirit leaving the body?”
Ye Qiu had heard from the Hundred Flowers Fairy that after a cultivator breaks through to the Cave Heaven Realm, they can cultivate a primordial spirit. As long as the primordial spirit does not perish, they can recast their physical body.
“Where are you going!”
Ye Qiu shouted loudly, leaped out, then blinked his left eye. The Xuanyuan Sword shot out swiftly, slicing through the long sky with one strike.
In an instant, majestic qi permeated the firmament.
“A divine artefact! This kid has another divine artefact!”
Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit was greatly alarmed. It hurriedly changed direction, dodging the Xuanyuan Sword, and fled in another direction.
The primordial spirit was his last resort. If it were destroyed, he would truly have to swallow his hatred in death.
“You cannot escape.”
Ye Qiu grasped the Xuanyuan Sword with one hand, then swiftly took nine steps in the void. His battle intent reached an unprecedented peak. Then, with the long sword pointing to the sky, he slashed out with one strike.
“Immortal-Slaying Sword!”
Boom.
In an instant, terrifying sword intent covered the sky and earth, like lightning, appearing above Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit in a blink.
“Not good.”
Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit sensed an intense crisis. Immediately, beams of dragon qi shot up from the crown of its head.
Fully over two hundred beams.
Each beam of dragon qi was about several dozen zhang long, like real dragons, weaving in the air into a sky-covering great net that protected Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit below, attempting to block the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
However, he underestimated the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword.
“Pu!”
One sword fell, and all the dragon qi were destroyed.
“Ah… stop!” At the moment of life and death, Jiang Feng shouted to stop, trying to buy a slim chance of survival for himself.
However, Ye Qiu showed no mercy and split Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit with one sword.
“Ah…”
Jiang Feng’s primordial spirit was cleaved in two, its shrill scream echoing through the long sky, sending shivers down the spine.
Strangely, after the primordial spirit was split, no blood appeared, nor was there any brain matter.
Ye Qiu was about to strike again when he saw Jiang Feng’s shattered primordial spirit pu and disintegrate, dissipating into heaven and earth.
“Is he dead just like that?”
Ye Qiu did not dare to be careless. He turned and went to Jiang Feng’s corpse, discovering that Jiang Feng had completely breathed his last.
Still a bit uneasy, he raised his hand and sent a beam of sword qi, leaving a bloody hole in the centre of Jiang Feng’s brow.
After doing all this, Ye Qiu was utterly exhausted, nearly unable to stand steady. He hurriedly used his sword to prop up his body and panted heavily.
He had just used the Immortal-Slaying Sword, nearly depleting all his power. If an enemy came to kill him at this moment, he would be in danger.
In urgency.
Ye Qiu quickly plucked a leaf from the Golden Sacred Tree and put it in his mouth, then sat cross-legged and circulated the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Art. In just a short while, his physical strength recovered to its original state.
Looking around, the City Lord’s Mansion had been razed to flat ground, with corpses piled like mountains and blood flowing like rivers.
Ye Qiu, with his own power, had taken down fully several thousand people from the City Lord’s Mansion!
“Strange, where has that old thing gone? Why hasn’t he appeared even now?”
“He hasn’t run into some accident, has he?”
Ye Qiu had just stood up when he saw the Long-Browed Real Person suddenly burst out from a pile of ruined walls and debris, covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely dishevelled.
But his eyes were filled with excitement.
“Little brat, let me tell you some good news. This poor Daoist has discovered the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasury.” The Long-Browed Real Person ran over and said happily.
Ye Qiu asked, “While I was killing the enemy, you went to search for the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasury?”
“Yes!” The Long-Browed Real Person said, “This poor Daoist thought that as the city lord, Jiang Feng must have plenty of treasures, so while you were drawing down the heavenly tribulation to deal with him, I went to search for the treasury.”
“Efforts pay off for the dedicated. This poor Daoist finally found it.”
“Let me tell you, there are many good things in the treasury.”
Ye Qiu suppressed his anger and asked, “Did you hear me calling you earlier?”
“I heard.” The Long-Browed Real Person said, “But at that time, this poor Daoist was busy clearing out the things in the treasury…”
Pa!
Before the Long-Browed Real Person could finish, he was whipped flying by Ye Qiu, crashing more than ten metres away, with his head broken and bleeding.
“Little brat, why did you hit me?” The Long-Browed Real Person roared in anger. “Do you have any conscience?”
Ye Qiu said irritably, “If not for our past friendship, this lord would have beaten you into a cripple.”
“Before coming, we agreed to deal with Jiang Feng together, but you went off alone to search for the treasury, leaving this lord by himself.”
“Do you know that if not for me having the God-Subduing Whip, I would have died at Jiang Feng’s hands today.”
The Long-Browed Real Person muttered, “Little brat, didn’t you already take down Jiang Feng?”
Ye Qiu said, “That is because I am lucky.”
The Long-Browed Real Person said, “Actually, this poor Daoist knew long ago that you would not die, so I went to search for the treasury.”
“You have thick destiny on you. Jiang Feng is just a small city lord; he cannot kill you.”
“We two have just arrived in the cultivation world, penniless. There will be many places to spend money in the future, so this poor Daoist went to find treasures…”
Ye Qiu was somewhat impatient and asked, “What did you find?”
“Come with me quickly.” The Long-Browed Real Person pulled Ye Qiu to a pile of ruined walls and debris, then钻 into a ground cave.
This was an underground treasury.
It was very spacious.
First to enter Ye Qiu’s eyes were over a thousand weapons, with sabres, spears, swords, halberds, all complete, and particularly sharp.
Ye Qiu glanced at them, utterly uninterested.
He had the Xuanyuan Sword, Qiankun Cauldron, God-Subduing Whip; these weapons were just scrap metal in his eyes.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu saw several wooden boxes.
The Long-Browed Real Person ran over and quickly opened the wooden boxes.
Immediately, Ye Qiu felt a dazzling brightness before his eyes.
Spirit stones!
The wooden boxes were full of spirit stones.
“This poor Daoist counted earlier; there are fully thirty thousand spirit stones here.”
The Long-Browed Real Person’s words made Ye Qiu angry again. In his heart, he cursed darkly, “This bastard, he didn’t appear for so long earlier because he was counting spirit stones here, damn it.”
Without another word, Ye Qiu directly used his Qiankun bag to collect all the spirit stones.
After Ye Qiu collected the spirit stones, he discovered that the Long-Browed Real Person surprisingly did not complain, which made him feel somewhat incredulous.
Given the Long-Browed Real Person’s greedy nature for money, the spirit stones were discovered by him. In the past, he would definitely discuss with Ye Qiu how to divide them, but now, Ye Qiu took all the spirit stones, yet the Long-Browed Real Person remained silent. This simply did not match his character.
Something unusual must indicate a demon.
Ye Qiu stared at the Long-Browed Real Person, lost in thought.
