Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Five Suns Qian Thunder was a high-tier spell for Qi Cultivation, and was even considered a high-tier among high-tiers, with significant difficulty in mastery. He had expended over a thousand points of Human Virtue to fully level it up.

Its power was naturally also very strong.

This spell could be imbued into magic artifacts or cast independently to strike one or multiple targets.

When Wang Chen acted, he did so with all his might!

Streaks of lightning containing destructive energy mercilessly struck the unprepared cultivators from Guard Hall.

Those without body protection magic artifacts, or who were too slow to activate their Spirit Light Shield Armor, suffered greatly first; some were instantly charred, while others fell from the sky with agonizing screams.

Wang Chen snapped his fingers and harvested a wave of Heavenly Merit!

However, a Great Perfection level Five Suns Qian Thunder consumed a vast amount of mana, and this strike had depleted a third of his mana reserves, allowing for only two more such casts at most.

But the results were remarkable.

The bombing of the Five Suns Qian Thunder injured if not killed over a dozen Guard Hall cultivators, wiping out nearly half of their combat power in one fell swoop.

The cultivator suspected to be the Golden Snake Gentleman was struck by the lightning at that instant, a Golden Bell Dharma Aspect suddenly appeared above his head, and he forcefully withstood this deadly strike.

He let out a strange yell, fiercely raised his wrist to slap his forehead, and spat out a smooth silver pill from his mouth.

Sword Pill!

Wang Chen recognized the origin of this silver pill at a glance.

He was very surprised in his heart.

Sword Pills were condensed from Sword Qi or Sword Intent, different from conventional magic artifacts, and belonged to the category of rare wonders.

Essentially, a Sword Pill was also a Flying Sword; once activated it would become a hilt-less blade edge, its lethality no less than a real Flying Warship, and even faster in speed.

A Sword Pill could integrate Fine Gold Qi and could also be absorbed into the body for nourishment, making it incredibly precious and rare.

That the Golden Snake Gentleman, a ninth-tier Qi Cultivator, possessed a Sword Pill suggested that his identity was extraordinary!

But to Wang Chen, his identity was only one thing.

That was an enemy!

Hiss!

Without a second thought, Wang Chen thrust out his sword finger, and a fierce Geng Metal Qi streaked over a distance of ten yards, hitting the just ejected Sword Pill with pinpoint accuracy.

Ding!

Accompanied by a crisp collision sound, the yet-to-expand Sword Pill was knocked flying.

The most powerful part of Wang Chen\'s strike was its precision, his Geng Metal Finger striking a target the size of a dragon\'s eye through the air— something ordinary cultivators, unless fluking like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, simply could not achieve.

And the Sword Pill, true to its reputation as a rare wonder, suffered almost no damage after being hit by the Great Perfection level Geng Metal Finger.

Only, the Golden Snake Gentleman had for an instant lost control over it.

And that was the opportunity Wang Chen needed.

He swung his sleeve fiercely, and the Wind Thunder Sword soared out, carrying with it a thunderous rumble as it attacked the surviving Guard Hall cultivators.

These cultivators could be considered quite brave; even after more than half of their companions were injured or killed, they did not collapse on the spot and even launched a counterattack against Wang Chen.

However, when the Wind Thunder Sword easily pierced through a cultivator who had activated his Spiritual Light Shield, tearing a bloody hole in his chest area,

the other cultivators unanimously chose to flee.

Although Wang Chen wanted to keep all of these people, he was well aware of who his real opponent was.

The Wind Thunder Sword swerved back and aimed straight at the Golden Snake Gentleman!

By this time, the Golden Snake Gentleman had regained control of his Sword Pill, his eyes were completely bloodshot from the relentless attacks, and he put all his energy into the blade edge that had already been unsheathed, clashing with Wang Chen.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Wind Thunder Sword and the Sword Pill collided three times, sending out sparks of golden light.

The Golden Snake Gentleman\'s Sword Pill proved to be no less inferior to the second-tier Wind Thunder Sword, matching it evenly!

"Thunder Come!"

Wang Chen immediately shouted, and a Five Suns Qian Thunder struck down on the Golden Snake Gentleman\'s head.

Golden Bell Dharma Aspect above the Golden Snake Gentleman\'s head shattered instantaneously, his figure swayed, and blood spilled from his mouth and nose.

Clang!

The Sword Pill had been struck away by the Wind Thunder Sword!

This young and ruthless cultivator finally panicked.

He immediately retreated, flying backward to widen the distance between himself and Wang Chen, while simultaneously pulling out two talismans from his storage bag.

Thinking of running away.

But how could Wang Chen possibly allow his opponent to escape right before his eyes!

The Wind Thunder Sword traced a long arc in the sky, its blade wrapped in thunderous light, catching up with Golden Snake Gentleman in the blink of an eye.

The sword\'s tip aimed straight at his heart!

The Golden Snake Gentleman was instantly terrified and screamed, "I am..."

Spuft!

The Wind Thunder Sword pierced through the Golden Snake Gentleman\'s spiritual light shield, severing his left arm.

That strike was meant to pierce through the Golden Snake Gentleman\'s heart, but the latter had managed to shift his body at the critical moment, using his left arm to block Wang Chen\'s fatal blow.

Under Wang Chen\'s relentless assault, the Golden Snake Gentleman couldn\'t even control his flying artifact, helplessly tumbling downward.

The Wind Thunder Sword that flew back circled around Wang Chen once, its somewhat dimmed thunder light surging once again.

Then it shot towards the Golden Snake Gentleman, who was about to hit the ground!

At this moment, the Golden Snake Gentleman had completely lost his composure, unable to recall his Sword Pill, he could only watch as the Wind Thunder Sword approached, his mind shrouded by the shadow of death.

"Spare a life under your sword!"

Just then, a seductive and moving voice reached Wang Chen\'s ears.

Filled with a potent allure.

However, Wang Chen was not swayed in the slightest; a fierce light flashed in his dark pupils.

Spuft!

The head of the Golden Snake Gentleman soared into the sky.

[Heavenly Merit +9]

Wang Chen reached out to grab the storage bag tied around the opponent\'s waist, and with his left hand, he seized the Wind Thunder Sword that had just flown back.

He turned around, leisurely facing a female cultivator who had just arrived.

She appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with features as beautiful as a painting and a captivating allure. Her graceful and slender figure was hidden under a long dress, and she stepped on Cloud Lotus with an air of grace.

Xin Han\'s new maidservant, a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, the behind-the-scenes controller of Dongwu Stockade...

There was no need for introductions, Wang Chen had already guessed her identity.

Hu Meiniang!

Somehow, despite looking delicate and gentle, Hu Meiniang gave him a strong sense of threat.

Wang Chen wasn\'t in a hurry to make a move, and instead began to absorb the pure spiritual power contained within the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

Swiftly recovering his mana!

And Hu Meiniang did not attack either, gazing at the headless body that had fallen to the ground, she sighed, "Why do you always disobey?"

She lifted her head, her eyes brimming with light as she looked at Wang Chen, "Taoist Friend Wang, my younger brother has been impolite. Please forgive his offense."

Wang Chen was at a loss for words.

He had already chopped off the head of the Golden Snake Gentleman, yet Hu Meiniang was indifferent, even shifting the blame onto her own brother\'s head.

So what exactly did this female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect want?

Thoughts racing, Wang Chen asked nonchalantly, "You know me?"

Hu Meiniang gave a slight smile, "Your reputation precedes you."

Her smile was utterly enchanting!
