Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2670: Chapter 867: Captured in Battle, Reinforcements Arrive

The cultivators of Red Peak Immortal City were fleeing in mad collapse.

Yet facing the Fourth Rank Beast Kings, the Demon Path army, and the overseeing, commanding Nether Moon Saintess, they simply could not escape from the Immortal City.

A Purple Light Sect cultivator at the Late Stage of Core Formation activated a Blood Burning Secret Technique, intending to use a Teleportation Talisman to flee.

Standing tall above the Immortal City, the Nether Moon Saintess, with her slender figure, wore a cold expression as her figure suddenly appeared before him.

Her fair, crystalline, power-filled beautiful leg lashed forward.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”

Like a crazed dragon surging out of the abyss, like an eternal volcano erupting, the air exploded segment by segment, stirring up layer upon layer of ripples, squeezing the void until it burst.

The Core Formation cultivator fleeing with a Teleportation Talisman spat blood, the bones all over his body shattered, and he flew sideways like a kite with its string cut, crashing down.

The gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul was like an unbridgeable chasm.

Even though the Nether Moon Saintess had only recently broken through to Nascent Soul, and her Divine Skills had yet to reach Great Success.

Yet relying solely on her Mana, Suppression, and the initial grasp of the Power of the Void, she could utterly crush such Core Formation cultivators.

The fact that he was not killed in one strike was because the Nether Moon Saintess had stayed her hand.

After all, a living Core Formation cultivator was far more valuable than a dead one.

They could not only be interrogated for news of Yue Country, used as prisoners to exchange for resources, but also be taken as slaves and forced labor.

Especially at the Core Formation Level, most carried fortuitous encounters and secrets.

If those could be extracted under torture, one could sometimes gain quite a good harvest.

”The might of a Nascent Soul... so terrifying...”

The Jiang Country and Yue Country cultivators of Red Peak Immortal City, seeing this scene, all felt their hearts chill, terror surging within.

After all, this Mirror Shadow True Man, with Late Stage Core Formation Cultivation, was already an existence they normally could only look up to.

Yet now, before the Nether Moon Saintess, he was like an ant, unable to withstand a single blow.

Even after using Secret Techniques and Teleportation Talismans, he still could not escape.

”So this is the gap between Core Formation and Nascent Soul...”

Lu Qingxuan looked at the Nether Moon Saintess—her tall, lithe figure, long hair of ghostly violet whipping wildly, like a peerless war maiden descended from the heavens—and his heart was filled with despair.

As an Early Stage Core Formation Cultivator, in front of such a Nascent Soul True Lord, he could not raise even the slightest will to resist.

There was only deep, endless despair!

Yet seeing the Fourth Rank Beast Kings and Demon Path army that had breached the city, he still grit his teeth and tried to flee with Lu Xingyang, Lu Ziyun, and the others.

However, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, relying on Teleportation Talismans and life-saving Secret Treasures, still had a chance to slip away amidst the chaos and escape the Immortal City.

Core Formation cultivators were key targets, and had no way to escape.

”Buzz!”

Just as Lu Qingxuan, mixed within the crowd, was about to rush out of the Immortal City, a bone-deep chill crawled over him.

He felt as though some primordial Fierce Beast was fixing its gaze upon him, his entire body’s Mana sluggish, hard to circulate.

”Thunder Fire Nine Arts!”

He hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique, the Exorcism Golden Thunder and Thunder Gang Flame within his body surging out, intertwining and roiling as he clutched two Third Rank Talismans in his hands.

Nurtured by the Thunderstrike Fosang Wood, his Thunder Fire Body was but half a step away from advancing to an Upper Class Spirit Body.

Possessing the Thunder Fire Body, Exorcism Golden Thunder, Thunder Gang Flame, and a Superior Grade Gold Core, his strength, among those at the Initial Stage of Core Formation, could be considered a top-tier existence.

Even when facing some Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivators, he could hold his own and contend.

However...

He was now facing a Nascent Soul True Lord!
