Killing God - Chapter 172
Chapter 172 Kill
Outside the Gray Lizard Forest, at the entrance of the nameless
Xuanjian Sect’s Geng Cheng, Fu Jun, Ding, and the three disciples stood there. Although the weather was high and refreshing on this day, the three of them looked extremely irritated, mixed with anxiety. Especially Geng Cheng, who occasionally raised his head to look into the distance, as if he was waiting for something, and the direction he looked towards was towards Broken Moon City.
As the sun gradually rose and time passed, Ding He, who was beside him, seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He took the first step and said, “Senior Brother, why hasn’t Junior Sister Nangong come yet?”
Geng Cheng impatiently waved his hand and said, “We just sent the message back this morning. Even if Junior Sister Nangong arrives immediately after receiving it, it will still take some time. Just wait quietly.”
Ding He curled his lips, his face filled with impatience. He muttered twice in a low voice. He didn’t know if he was complaining about the arrogance of Tianjian Palace’s Heavenly Pride. Fu Junzi, who was standing beside him, was calmer than him. He whispered, “Alright, Senior Brother Geng is also very upset. Don’t provoke him. Besides, it’s not like you didn’t notice that the eldest young miss didn’t like Qian Yiben very much. Now that you suddenly told her to come all the way here to find someone, Junior Sister Nangong is naturally upset.”
Ding He said angrily, “But aren’t we all from the same sect after all? It’s just a simple matter of raising our hands. How can there be so much delicacy?”
Geng Cheng turned his head and glared at her with a hint of anger. “Nonsense, what kind of delicate person is this? Shut your mouth tightly!” He said.
Ding He rolled his eyes. Shut up, However, it seemed that he was still very unconvinced, Geng Cheng has always been on good terms with these two junior brothers. At this moment, he glared at Ding He and finally sighed, “Although our Profound Sword Sect and Heavenly Sword Palace are connected, there is still a difference between them. I don’t want to tell you guys how big the difference is, so don’t think too much about some things.”
Ding He and Fu Jun were both silent. After a while, Fu Jun suddenly became somewhat angry and said angrily, “In the end, it was Qian Yi who caused trouble all day long. Even dragging us down, he had to spend so many days in this desolate mountain range.”
Geng Cheng sighed again. Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, He felt as if he had sighed more and more these past few days, Moments later, he smiled bitterly and said, “We’ve been looking for him for so long. We haven’t seen anyone die yet. We’ve only found those strange things in the forest … Anyway, when we return to the sect, we have to give Master an explanation. We can’t just say that a living person will disappear without a corpse.”
Before he could finish speaking, Ding He, who was beside him, suddenly raised his head and looked into the distant sky, saying, “Coming.”
Geng Cheng and Fu Jun were both shocked. Turning around, they saw a bright sword light flash across the blue sky like a white rainbow that was as beautiful as a dragon. It was only then that they slowly slowed down and landed in the sky. A figure appeared. It was the young and beautiful Nangong Ying.
Although Ding He and Fu Jun complained, However, at this moment, Nangong Ying was really here. However, neither of them revealed any strange expressions. Following Geng Cheng, he hurriedly walked over. From afar, only Geng Cheng and Nangong Ying spoke a few words. Nangong Ying seemed to be slightly surprised and asked a few more questions. Geng Cheng turned around and pointed at the forest, as if explaining something to Nangong Ying. After a while, only the three disciples of Xuanjian Sect surrounded Nangong Ying and walked into the vast Grey Lizard Forest.

At the same time, outside Silvermoon Lake, in the depths of the plains.
The little black pig rolled on the grass and sat up lazily. Then, it seemed to feel an itch on its forehead, so it stretched out a little pig’s hoof and rubbed its head a few times, yawning.
Not far away from him, the two figures faintly confronted each other. The atmosphere was completely different. They looked extremely solemn and stiff. The cultivator with a withered face and a murderous expression looked at Shen Shi as if he was looking at a fat sheep. He laughed sinisterly and said with a cold smile,
“So what if I want to kill you? I’m just unlucky to meet your grandfather.”
Looking at his appearance, killing and looting in the wilderness outside the city shouldn’t be the first time he did it. Even speaking was so natural. It was unknown how many rogue cultivators had died in the past by his hands.
Shen Shi didn’t say anything more. He just looked at him coldly. His hands naturally hung down by his side, but his right foot slowly took a step back. Intentionally or unintentionally, he drew a distance from this cultivator.
The yellow-faced cultivator immediately noticed that this young fellow was cowardly. Wasn’t he prepared to flee before starting a fight? He had seen so many young rookies. Regardless of how talented you were, if you really had to face a life-and-death battle with a real saber and a real gun, wouldn’t you just be a coward crying for your mother and father and could only be slaughtered?
On the path of cultivation, everyone thought that their prospects were limitless, and that they had limitless possibilities for the future. But in the end, could there really be anyone who could become an immortal and become a Buddha from ancient times to modern times?
He laughed sinisterly, The cultivator brandished his blood-dripping blade. Rubbing his body, he could already see the scene of him searching for property on this young man’s corpse not long after. The path of cultivation was extremely rough, and it was extremely difficult for rogue cultivators to cultivate. Without such extraordinary wealth, how could he have cultivated all the way to the current high level of the Qi Refining Realm, only a step away from the legendary Origin Condensation Realm? He was afraid that every day, if he wanted to earn the most basic cultivation spirit crystals, he would have to worry about his brain and not be able to obtain them.
As long as he took another step forward and grabbed more resources and spirit materials, as long as he rushed into the Origin Condensation Realm one last time, then the world would definitely be completely different from what it is now.
The moment Withered Yellow Cultivator rushed over, what flashed through his mind was his yearning and expectation for a better day in the future. For that expectation and the powerful strength he was about to obtain, what was it worth killing a few of these rogue cultivators to plunder some things?
The blood on the blade was blown away by the strong wind. The sharp blade was revealed once again. He chopped towards Shen Shi, Due to the limitations of their cultivation realm and spiritual power, cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm were unable to cultivate any Dao Art divine abilities without opening up their Jade Palace Dantian. Apart from occasionally cultivating one or two low-level Five Elements Techniques to defend themselves, most cultivators in this lowest realm relied on their bodies that had been tempered by spiritual power if they fought.
The stronger one’s physical body was, the richer one’s fighting experience was, the greater the chances of winning. In a sense, this was not much different from ordinary mortals. Perhaps the difference was that Qi Refining Realm cultivators had cultivated before, and their physical bodies were far stronger than mortals.
Before the blade of the saber arrived, the wind of the saber arrived. A strand of hair even floated slightly. However, Shen Shi’s face did not reveal the horrified expression that the yellow cultivator had expected. His expression was still calm and silent. For some reason, when the yellow-faced cultivator saw Shen Shi’s appearance, he felt a burst of discomfort in his heart.
However, the speed of the blade was so fast that it was impossible for him to withdraw it in a hurry once he swung it out. Moreover, perhaps this young rookie was just scared silly?
However, at this moment, the corner of the withered yellow cultivator’s eyes seemed to see that Shen Shi’s right hand seemed to suddenly move.
Nothing seemed to have happened? In that moment of lightning and flint?
Shen Shi withdrew. His figure was swift and skilled, allowing the withered yellow cultivator to move away. This caused the withered yellow cultivator’s pupils to shrink slightly, and a bad feeling surged in his heart. This young man did not look like a newborn bird. He did not seem to have the slightest hint of panic at this critical moment of life and death?
This saber strike did not injure Shen Shi, nor did it close the distance between him and Shen Shi. Although the Withered Yellow Cultivator was vigilant earlier, he did not feel timid just because of this. Just as he was thinking of chasing after Shen Shi again, a faint light suddenly flashed in front of him, and a stream of water suddenly appeared in midair.
“Water archery!”
The Withered Yellow Cultivator suddenly shouted and immediately retreated. His words were filled with panic and even a trace of panic. Normally, even though the First Grade Five Elements Technique would pose a certain threat to Qi Refining Realm cultivators, as long as they were careful to resist it, a single technique would not be enough to kill them.
However, this water archery was too sinister, Unexpectedly, other than the movement of his right hand, Withered Yellow Cultivator didn’t see any other movements of Shen Shi’s spell casting. He didn’t expect such a spell to suddenly appear. Moreover, how could a Qi Refining Realm cultivator cast a Five Elements Spell so quickly? It was simply unheard of!
However, the reality in front of him could not be changed. The Withered Yellow Cultivator was caught off guard and forced back by the water archery. Although he tried his best to dodge, the transparent water archery was already very close to him when he discovered it. In the end, he was still unable to dodge it completely. Fortunately, he still had a blade in his hand.
At this critical juncture, Withered Yellow Cultivator’s years of killing experience seemed to have saved his life. He laid the blade horizontally in front of him at a critical juncture and narrowly blocked this sinister and almost invisible water archery.
“Pa!” With a crisp sound, the stream of water collided with the blade.
The Withered Yellow Cultivator heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He fiercely raised his head and looked forward. He thought that he would definitely cut this vicious brat a few more times before killing him. However, just as this thought came to his mind, his hand suddenly trembled. A shocking and abundant force instantly surged from the blade, from his fingers to his wrists, from his wrists to his arms, like a surging tide.
“Pa!” The crisp voice sounded again. Then, the withered yellow cultivator felt his hand suddenly lighten. A moment later, under his stunned and incredulous gaze, traces of cracks appeared on the hard saber. Then, it broke and fell to the ground.
“Pa pa pa pa pa!” A strange yet somewhat soul-stirring voice came from his right arm that was holding the saber. For a moment, he felt as if his entire right hand had lost consciousness. It was unknown if it had been shocked by that powerful force to injure his meridians.
At this moment, how could this withered yellow cultivator not understand? He had hit an iron plate. This young man in front of him was not an inexperienced rookie rogue cultivator. He was clearly a fiend star that was hidden very deeply. Almost at this moment, in the corner of his eyes, he was shocked to see another burning flame in Shen Shi’s palm.
Fireball Technique. A withered yellow cultivator with rich killing experience and knowledge recognized this Five Elements Technique at the first glance. After shouting, he threw down his hand and interrupted his saber. He ran backwards in horror. At the same time, he was filled with incomparable fear. When would a Qi Refining Realm cultivator be able to cast such a technique so quickly? This was simply impossible! Could it be that they used talismans, but according to the consensus of the cultivation world under the heavens, even if they used talismans, wouldn’t it take at least three or four breaths of time?
And what exactly was going on with that power that far surpassed that of an ordinary First Grade Five Elements Technique?
Why was there such an unbelievable thing happening to this young man?
All these shocked and terrified thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but the most important thing he still hadn’t forgotten was that he was fleeing for his life. A water archery technique was actually so powerful. If that fireball technique was hit again, he would probably really die here.
The withered yellow cultivator rushed forward desperately. He could vaguely feel a trace of scorching heat sweeping over him. Rumbling sounds could be heard in the air. It felt as if it was no ordinary First Grade Five Elements Spell. The power and momentum of this spell was almost the same as the Second Grade Fire Spell that he had seen an expert at the Origin Condensation Realm cast on a lucky occasion a long time ago-the Blazing Flame Spell.
Is this person really a Qi Refining Realm cultivator? Could he be an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator?
A trace of despair flashed through the withered yellow cultivator’s heart. But instinctively, Because his right arm was injured and he lost consciousness, he looked like he was staggered when he ran away. When the scorching heat behind him quickly approached, he shouted out in fear. Just as he was about to try his best to dodge, he suddenly felt a pain on his foot. It was as if he was hit by something and he fell backwards.
In his panic, he lowered his head and took a glance. He vaguely saw a Little Hei pig with a shiny black body appear beside him and crash into him. Its strength was astonishing. It directly knocked his forward body back. It felt like he had crashed into an incomparably hard rock that flew towards him.
What kind of pig is this? It’s actually so hard …
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the burning fireball directly struck the withered yellow cultivator’s body. Along with that miserable scream of despair, the cultivator who was still filled with killing intent was sent flying by the fireball. The last thought flashed through his mind amidst the raging flames in front of him, as if it was still an unbelievable and unwilling roar.
How could I die? Why would I die here? Origin Condensation Realm, Origin Condensation Realm is only one step away!
These decades of cultivation, why, why did it suddenly become empty …
The sky was vast, white clouds floating past, and the world was completely silent. It was the last scene he had ever seen before. It was beautiful, peaceful, yet cold, as if this world had never changed in the slightest.
Then he died, carrying the dream of one step condensing but suddenly stopping, silently dying in the depths of this wilderness, just like those rogue cultivators who had died under his hands in the past.
Shen Shi slowly walked over. He looked at the cultivator expressionlessly. Then, his gaze landed on the Little Hei pig beside him. Pig Little Hei snorted at him twice. He seemed to be very proud of the fact that his sneak attack had helped his master just now. Then, he lowered his head and approached the corpse of the withered yellow cultivator. He smelled and sniffed twice. Very quickly, he found the spirit herb that caused the dispute and bit into his mouth. Then, he ran back to Shen Shi’s feet and began to chew proudly.
Shen Shi looked at the little pig speechlessly. After a moment, he squatted down and touched the head of the Little Hei pig. He felt that the momentum had knocked the cultivator’s entire body backwards. The fur on the Little Hei pig’s head was actually completely unharmed. Could this be some kind of innate talent of the “stone-skinned pig” in its bloodline?
Shen Shi stared at the Little Hei pig for a while, then shook his head and said,
“You pig, why are you so sinister?”
