Chapter 226 Three Corpses Chaotic Soul Incense Array
Above the desolate and dead wilderness, a gale howled, kicking up dust that filled the sky.
Three figures were circling a meat mass emitting a strange, faint fragrance, fighting crazily.
Their eyes were crimson, their sanity completely lost, and their Moves were without any pattern, leaving only the most primitive instinct for slaughter, like three beasts tearing at each other to compete for food.
Claw shadows, sword light, and spells intertwined across the sky, and every collision erupted with astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations, causing the already barren earth to crack.
These three Cultivators were all at Qi Refining Sixth Layer, their strengths matched, and after entangling for so long, none of them could truly take the meat mass away.
Whenever someone luckily succeeded, the other two would immediately turn their spears and jointly launch the fiercest siege against him, until the meat mass changed hands again.
However, right in the midst of this chaotic stalemate, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The person who arrived was none other than Liu Zhenzhen.
Her posture was as agile as lightning; in the instant before the three had reacted, she had easily passed through the chaotic battle circle, her slender jade hand reached out, and she directly grabbed the constantly wriggling blood-colored meat mass into her hand.
"Roar—!"
Seeing their prey snatched away, the three simultaneously let out roars unlike humans, abandoning the fight between themselves without hesitation, and instead, locked their murderous gazes onto Liu Zhenzhen!
The next moment, three attacks containing violent Spiritual Qi pounced towards Liu Zhenzhen from three different directions in a pincer formation!
Although Liu Zhenzhen had anticipated this, she did not expect the three's reactions to be so swift; she turned her body sharply, attempting to dodge, but under this seamless joint siege, she was ultimately a step too slow.
Rip—!
A sharp sword light cut through the sky, leaving a wound deep enough to see bone on her arm, and fresh blood instantly dyed her clothes red.
The intense pain made her frown slightly, but those three Cultivators did not give her half a chance to catch her breath, and even crazier attacks swept in like a tide.
They seemed to have completely forgotten the sect rules strictly prohibiting private fighting, with every Move being fatal, determined to put her to death!
Liu Zhenzhen was overwhelmed, her figure dodging clumsily amidst the storm-like attacks, and the wounds on her body continuously increased.
It looked like she was about to perish and die right here.
However, right at this moment of life and death, a strange glint flashed in her cold, clear eyes.
"Go!"
She parted her red lips slightly, and several Talismans flickering with various Spiritual Qi lights flew quietly from her sleeves, striking after being launched later, and with an extremely tricky angle, they were stuck precisely onto the bodies of the three Cultivators!
Boom! Boom! Boom—!
The violent torrent of Spiritual Qi exploded, and the brilliant light instantly swallowed the three figures!
Those three Cultivators, who were originally aggressive, could not even let out a scream before flying backward like kites with broken strings, their bodies charred black, flesh blurred, and they fell heavily to the ground.
Liu Zhenzhen's face showed no shred of pity; she dragged her wounded body, walked step by step to the three, Spiritual Qi flashing in her hand, and mercilessly ended their lives.
After finishing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, standing quietly in place, waiting.
Sure enough, as time passed second by second, the spatial fluctuation that represented the Sect, which she had anticipated, did not appear.
The Sect Emissary did not come.
A hint of joy finally appeared on Liu Zhenzhen's cold face.
But the next moment, the joy on her face instantly faded; her expression changed, and she hurriedly found a flat place and sat cross-legged.
In an instant, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to be under an invisible pull, turning into visible Qi swirls, crazily converging into her body!
The Bottleneck in her body, under the impact of this massive Spiritual Qi, shattered in response!
I do not know how much time passed; when she opened her eyes again, a sharp light flashed and vanished from her eyes, and the Spiritual Qi Aura on her body had become more solid.
Qi Refining Level Seven!
"Finally—succeeded."
Liu Zhenzhen let out a long breath.
She had finally reached the Late Stage Qi Refining, and furthermore, she had relied entirely on her own strength, without borrowing a single bit from Liu Meng!
After all, she and Liu Meng had long since become enemies on the surface, like fire and water.
Even though the initiator "Jin Wancai" was already dead, she could completely continue to play this act, letting everyone else in the Sect believe it deeply.
In this way, if she wanted to break through the Bottleneck, she could only rely on herself.
The harsh condition of "killing three Cultivators of the same rank" required to break through to Late Stage Qi Refiningbecame her biggest obstacle.
In the current environment with strict sect rules, wanting to find three Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivators and kill them all without attracting attention was an almost impossible task.
But Liu Meng had thought of a brilliant method for her—that was the "Three Corpses Chaotic Soul Incense Array" that Jin Wancai had once used to ambush her!
This array was composed of three Magical Artifacts: the "dragon binding banner", "spirit confusing orb", and "blood guiding plate", which could affect the minds of the Cultivators in the array, making them regard the person holding the source of the strange fragrance as a mortal enemy and actively launch attacks.
According to the sect rules, as long as the other party initiates the attack, then if she counterattacks, even if she accidentally kills them, it is not considered a violation!
She could completely use this array to create a legitimate opportunity for herself to kill fellow Disciples!
These three Magical Artifacts were all sold in the Sancai Workshop, but most Cultivators only knew their individual functions and did not know that they could be combined into an array with even more treacherous power.
Of course, even after setting up the array, the most difficult step was still how to find three Cultivators whose cultivation was exactly at Qi Refining Sixth Layer and lure them here at the same time.
For this, she spent a lot of time and effort, and even paid a significant amount of Spirit Stones, before finally gaining the trust of those three.
Finally, she managed to lure these three people here at the same time, letting them start a competition.
"As expected of things from the Sancai Workshop, they are indeed the best at finding loopholes in the sect rules." Liu Zhenzhencould not help but sigh in her heart.
She stood up and took out an exquisite Medicinal Pill bottle from her bosom; this was obtained from Liu Meng before she and Liu Meng "broke off relations".
She did not hesitate at all, poured out a blood coagulation yuan return pill overflowing with medicinal fragrance, and swallowed it into her abdomen.
The next moment, her cultivation, which had already surged due to the Breakthrough, once again climbed crazily at an unbelievable speed!
Climbing!
Taking pills!
Climbing!
Taking pills!
She did not know how many Medicinal Pills she had swallowed; she only knew that whenever the momentum of that Spiritual Qi growth in her body slowed slightly, she would swallow another one without hesitation, keeping her cultivation in a state of high-speed growth!
Qi Refining Level Seven—
Qi Refining Level Eight—
Qi Refining Level Nine—
Until—Qi Refining Perfection!
Liu Zhenzhen felt the unprecedented massive power in her body, feeling exhilarated in her heart.
She forgot to calculate how much time she had spent to reach this Realm, but she could be sure that this speed was definitely far beyond the vast majority of Disciples in the Sect.
Ordinary Cultivators did not have such a massive amount of Medicinal Pills to squander at will; and noble people who could take out so many Medicinal Pills would not drain the pond to catch the fish like her; they would value gradual progress more than anyone else and cherish their own potential and Foundation more.
Only a "tool person" like Liu Zhenzhen, who possessed inexhaustible Medicinal Pills and did not care at all about her own potential, would make such a crazy Move.
However, just as she was immersed in the joy of the surge in power, a slightly surprised and frivolous voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Eh? I didn't expect to meet a Qi Refining Perfection Disciple in this godforsaken place."
"Little sister, do you want to—Foundation Establishment? I actually have a method that can let you easily step into the Realm you dream of."
