Chapter 1254: Chapter 525: Dividing Treasures, Whipping Corpses [Request Subscription]
[Moon Toad Pearl] truly deserves to be a spiritual treasure coveted even by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Although Zhou Chun was limited by his cultivation level and couldnât unleash its full power, even just a fraction of its might was stronger than ordinary high-grade magical treasures.
When he had just formed his core and came out of seclusion, he easily killed a Fourth Order Demon Beast and a Great Mage from the Multi-Winged Clan using this treasure.
The long-planned âGreater Yin Annihilation Divine Lightâ was no exception, piercing through the defenses of Yu Jinghua, this Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, turning him into an ice sculpture!
However, Yu Jinghua was still a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, with mana and cultivation far superior to the Golden Elixir Early Phase.
Despite being frozen into an ice sculpture, Zhou Chun felt his life aura hadnât dispersed immediately; evidently, the all-consuming icy energy hadnât completely frozen his Golden Elixir Primordial Spirit, leaving him a chance to survive.
Yet even so, Yu Jinghuaâs entire mind and strength were focused on resisting the extremely cold energy, unable to pay any attention to the outside world!
And Zhou Chun naturally wouldnât just stand by idly.
Relying on his lifebound divine skill [Primordial Golden Mist] and the body of the Fourth Order Thunder Flood Dragon to withstand a strike from the [Taibai Slice Flood Dragon Sword], he quickly separated from the flood dragon form and then unleashed the golden sword created by the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], slashing towards the ice sculpture.
At this time, although Yu Jinghua sensed the situation outside, he was powerless to break free from the restraints. In the end, he could only watch in horror as the giant golden sword sliced him in half!
This brutal punishment was Zhou Chunâs reprisal for his betrayal of the Zhou Family!
Even with the formidable vitality of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Yu Jinghua wouldnât die immediately after being cut in half.
This was also deliberately done by Zhou Chun, as he wanted to wait for Zhou Mingde to come over and personally decapitate him to vent his wrath.
Yu Jinghua seemed to understand Zhou Chunâs intentions, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Zhou Chun, yet deep within, he couldnât hide his fear.
Unfortunately, he was a man fearful of death; even knowing Zhou Chunâs intentions and that he wouldnât escape death today, his instinct to survive still fiercely resisted the force of the âGreater Yin Annihilation Divine Light,â unwilling to give up his life.
After waiting for less than a moment, Zhou Mingde and the others arrived at the scene.
Upon seeing the already halved Yu Jinghua on the ground, Zhou Mingde immediately understood Zhou Chunâs intention.
His face instantly showed a look of delight.
Raising his hand, he summoned his lifebound dharma treasure [Scarlet Flame Heaven Scorching Blade] into his hand, laughing heartily as he approached Yu Jinghua.
âHahaha, Yu Jinghua, you shameless traitor! Did you ever think this day would come when you betrayed the Zhou Family?â
Standing in front of Yu Jinghua, Zhou Mingde pointed the blade at his head, feeling immensely satisfied and thrilled.
Yet at this moment, Yu Jinghua could utter no words, a look of shame and anger in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingde regretfully lamented, âWhat a pity, what a pity that we canât capture you alive and take you back to the Zhou Family. Otherwise, I would invite guests from all directions, gathering the cultivators of the clan to witness your traitorous demise! In front of everyone and the ancestors, slay you with my own hands!â
As his words fell, he activated the dharma treasure in his hand, swiftly slicing Yu Jinghuaâs neck.
Zhou Chun timely withdrew the icy cold energy from the area.
Spurt!
With a gush of blood, Yu Jinghuaâs head immediately separated from his body, turning into three parts.
With only his head remaining, he could no longer withstand the force of the âGreater Yin Annihilation Divine Light,â his soul utterly destroyed!
Once confirming Yu Jinghuaâs soul was truly dispersed, Zhou Chun immediately congratulated Zhou Mingde, âCongratulations to the Supreme Elder for fulfilling your wishes, avenging your great vendetta, and executing the traitor to uphold our familyâs honor!â
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde laughed heartily, âHahaha, actually, I should be the one thanking you. If not for Zhengchun and Taoist Friend Su and othersâ help, I wouldnât have been able to fulfill this wish!â
He then bowed respectfully to the Ancestor of the Su Family, Lin Hongyu, and the others, saying, âI express my sincere gratitude to all Taoist friends here!â
âHehehe, Taoist Friend Zhou is too courteous. Given the relationship between our two families, such courtesy is unnecessary.â
The Ancestor of the Su Family chuckled without taking credit.
He then glanced at Zhou Chun with a peculiar look, his eyes flashing with contemplation.
No one saw the moment Zhou Chun used [Moon Toad Pearl] to ice-seal Yu Jinghua.
But witnessing Yu Jinghua, a dignified Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator frozen and immobile, the Ancestor of the Su Family knew without a doubt that Zhou Chun must possess an immensely powerful treasure that he didnât wish to reveal.
Of course, a spiritual treasure is too shocking, and the Ancestor of the Su Family couldnât believe Zhou Chun could refine such a treasure, speculating it might be a strong high-grade magical treasure, or even a peerless dharma treasure!
But being old and wise, since Zhou Chun did not wish to publicly reveal this treasure and didnât mention it beforehand, he was not foolish enough to ask Zhou Chun how he accomplished the feat.
Afterwards, the group didnât linger at the scene, swiftly collecting the remains of Yu Jinghua and his disciples before hurriedly leaving, heading directly back to Jingguo Country.
It can be anticipated that Yu Jinghua must have left a âLifebound Soul Plaqueâ at Commanding Spirit Sect, and with his death, itâs certain that the sect will soon discover this situation.
It wonât take long before the cultivators from Commanding Spirit Sect find their way here.
