Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 97: Chapter 95 Ouyang Kun

“Why be panicked?”

Fang Ye’s gaze was firm as he coldly watched the Flash Thunder Leopard in front of him, “A mere puppet without spiritual wisdom, even if it has the strength of a Golden Core Early Stage, so what? Attack it together, and destroy it!”

As he spoke, Fang Ye lightly patted his storage bag.

“Shua Shua—”

Two dark figures appeared on either side of him.

Surprisingly, they were two towering refining corpses, clad in black cloaks with hats over their heads, each gripping a long spear.

...

What’s more, both of the refined corpses were at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage!

“Roar!”

The Flash Thunder Leopard felt provoked and, after a roar, its body turned into a bolt of lightning and charged forth, its claws tearing through the air, aiming straight for the instigator, Fang Ye!

“Bring it on!”

Amidst Fang Ye’s wild laughter, he produced a silver round shield, and in an instant, the Flash Thunder Leopard’s huge gaping maw could only frantically bite at the edge of the shield, failing to penetrate the defense in a short period.

Through the wind, the two refining corpses swooped in, their iron spears ruthlessly slamming into the back of the Flash Thunder Leopard.

But a puppet doesn’t feel pain. The Flash Thunder Leopard, its body flickering with lightning, kept up the fierce attack on Fang Ye as if it wouldn’t cease until it killed him.

The burly man with sparse eyebrows and the green-clothed elder each brought out their spiritual artifacts and launched a pincer attack from both sides.

Fang Ye, still not satisfied, raised his hand and drew forth a ghost banner from his storage bag. With a wave, three evil ghosts flew out, accompanied by their shrill screams, continuously assaulting the Third-tier Puppet in front of them!

In a moment, the Flash Thunder Leopard was besieged, its roars unceasing.

…

“Damn…”

Ning Daoran, who was hiding within an ancient mulberry tree thanks to the Wood Escape Technique, was utterly dumbfounded.

He had suspected Fang Ye, who was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, might be no simple character, but he did not anticipate him being this formidable.

It was already shocking enough that he had two refined corpses at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage level, but he also raised three fierce ghosts comparable to Foundation Establishment early-stage level!

No wonder Fang Ye dared to challenge a Third-tier Early-stage Puppet; he truly had the strength to do so.

“Damn…”

Ning Daoran suddenly felt fortunate that he hadn’t acted rashly. With the capabilities that Fang Ye, the burly man with sparse eyebrows, and the green-clothed elder had, his chances of winning were at most only eighty percent. Wasn’t acting with such odds akin to courting death?

“Old Lu, look how treacherous this world is…”

He communicated to Big Stupid Deer, who was watching the show from within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, “Who would have thought that a trip to Yinsha Land would encounter such a thorny situation? Fortunately, we’re steady, otherwise, we would have likely suffered a big loss.”

“Ao~~~”

Big Stupid Deer agreed profoundly, feeling that his elder brother was truly wise.

In the distance.

A figure concealed within the clouds was doing his best to restrain his aura, it was the heavily injured Independent Practitioner Jinguang.

“This person is not simple…”

Watching Fang Ye’s figure from afar, Independent Practitioner Jinguang felt a chill down his spine.

Being an enemy of such a person was exceedingly unwise!

“Fellow Daoist Ning, I’m sorry, I truly have no ability to help you avenge…”

He quietly turned around, vanishing into the night within the secret realm.

…

In the Green Stone Hall, the battle continued.

“Bang!”

The Flash Thunder Leopard spun quickly, its claws sweeping across and leaving a frightful wound on the chest of a refining corpse, almost bisecting it at the waist.

But the refining corpse felt no pain. With a sweep of its spear, it shattered a piece of armor beneath the Flash Thunder Leopard’s neck.

Several fierce ghosts howled, constantly tearing at the puppet’s body.

With the addition of Fang Ye, the burly man with sparse eyebrows, and the green-clothed elder’s harrying, the Flash Thunder Leopard was suddenly at a disadvantage. Besides injuring two refining corpses, it had no more achievements.

On the contrary, its own injuries multiplied, half of its body was charred, and a large section of its waist was cut off by Fang Ye’s short sword, revealing the inner mechanisms.

Ning Daoran watched with a hint of envy.

A Third-tier Puppet was a treasure in the outside Cultivation World. If a Cultivation Family could possess one, its deterrent power was essentially the same as having a Golden Core Early Stage Ancestor.

Moreover, most of the materials for crafting a Third-tier Puppet were Third-tier materials, especially some of the main materials, which could be the same as those used in Third-tier Arrays. This left Ning Daoran, a cultivator who was particularly skilled at living a settled life, exceedingly envious!

“It’s about time…”

Ning Daoran’s gaze was icy as he awaited an opportunity to act.

Once he did, he intended to leave the three cultivators, the refining corpses, and the fierce ghosts with little chance to counterattack.

…

Before long, an hour passed.

After a fierce battle, the Flash Thunder Leopard wobbled, its core components severely damaged.

“Die!”

Amidst a deep blue flame, that short sword blossomed with a brilliant radiance. In the flash of a moment, the Flash Thunder Leopard’s huge head slowly rolled off its neck.

Until its final moments, the ferocious puppet was still pressing down on the two refining corpses with each claw.

“Young Master’s skill is remarkable!”

The burly man with sparse eyebrows praised heartily.

But at the very moment of his praise, suddenly a wisp of emerald light shone from between his eyebrows. Soon after, his body was bisected by a jade-colored short knife. It was the handiwork of Ning Daoran’s Second-tier top-grade spiritual artifact, the Jade Saber!

“`

“Huff—”

As soon as he appeared, Ning Daoran unleashed the Green Ghost Flag, and instantly, shadows of ghosts multiplied. The formidable figure of the Green-clothed Lady swept by, entangling Fang Ye with her combat strength comparable to that of a Quasi Golden Core!

“You!”

The green-clothed elder was dumbfounded, “You… You didn’t die?!”

Ning Daoran’s body sank, and he vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind his opponent, and his Azure Dragon Spear swept across!

Blood rained in all directions as a single thrust of the spear smashed the elder’s head, who bore the strength of an early-stage Foundation Establishment, splattering brain matter and blood everywhere!

“You cur!”

Fang Ye roared with fury, while simultaneously countering the entanglement of the Green-clothed Lady with Demon Techniques and looking toward the skeletons of his two subordinates, “Who exactly are you? The Chaotic Sect definitely doesn’t have an early-stage Foundation Establishment with your kind of combat strength… You’re not a person from Chaotic Sect at all!”

“In life, I am a man of Chaotic Sect, in death a ghost of Chaotic Sect!”

Ning Daoran shouted words that would make Senior Sister Jiang Yu ecstatic.

With a flash in his hand, the Azure Dragon Spear disappeared, replaced by a True Feather Fan. A fierce flame full of Transformation Realm Level True Yang Furnace Technique blazed out from the fan!

“Roar roar roar~~~”

In the sky, three early-stage Foundation Establishment Ghosts emitted unbearably shrill screams, and in the blink of an eye were burned by the True Yang Intense Flame, their bodies disintegrating and bones turning to ash.

Such a level of True Yang Power could not even be resisted by a Golden Core Level Green-clothed Lady, let alone these Foundation Establishment Ghosts.

“You…”

Fang Ye erupted in anger, “Who exactly are you? Chaotic Sect doesn’t have someone like you!!!”

In the midst of speaking, Fang Ye pointed his hand, and instantly, numerous eerie Array Flags flew out from his Storage Bag, and in a moment, dozens of ghosts appeared around him, each possessing the combat ability of a Perfect Qi Refining.

“Outnumbering me with your forces?”

Ning Daoran’s eyes turned cold, and he threw out dozens of Paper Substitutes made from the sap of the Mystic Frost Tree.

“Pop pop pop…”

With each expansion, the paper figures transformed into men and women. Although they were not infused with Divine Souls, they still had roughly ten percent of Ning Daoran’s combat strength.

With Ning Daoran’s foundation, his ten percent strength was much more formidable than that of Perfect Qi Refining!

“Kill them all!”

He lightly lifted his hand, and a group of Paperfolk pursued and brutally attacked a group of fierce ghosts.

“You…”

Fang Ye finally understood why this youngster had not been killed by his Spiritual Artifact; it was likely due to these kinds of paper substitutes.

“You think you can kill me off like this?”

A sinister smile crept over his mouth.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly and said to Old Lu behind him, “He thinks I can’t kill him?”

At once, the corners of both the man’s and the deer’s mouths slowly curled up, emitting a cackling laugh.

The next moment, Ning Daoran clapped his Storage Bag, and instantly six Array Flags and six Array Plates flew out. After a string of spells were cast, a Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array soared into the air, engulfing an area dozens of meters across in an instant.

To be able to set up a Second-Order Middle-Grade Array so quickly, ordinary people simply did not possess this capability, only an Array Master of the same rank could!

“You… You’re an Array Master?”

Fang Ye was shocked to the core.

“Why say so much?”

After initiating the array, Ning Daoran, wielding the Azure Dragon Spear, approached Fang Ye.

Amidst the wild wind inside the Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array, the Spear Radiance surged, blood blades danced chaotically in the air, and Fang Ye’s screams and groans could be heard. A Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, whether in strength or Mana, was being utterly crushed by Ning Daoran.

Soon after.

Ning Daoran casually stepped out of the Blood Transformation Soul Chasing Array, holding the bloodstained Azure Dragon Spear in his right hand and the body of Fang Ye in his left.@@novelbin@@

First, he seized the other’s Storage Bag, and then performed a Soul Search.

‘Fuck…’

The result of the Soul Search surprised Ning Daoran!

This Fang Ye was actually the Young Master of Heavenly Slaughter Sect within the Demon Path!

His real name was Ouyang Kun, a disciple of the Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator and Supreme Elder of Heavenly Slaughter Sect—Ouyang Po!

Being a direct descendant of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Kun was favorably nurtured by Ouyang Po, hence he possessed two Foundation Establishment refining corpses and three Foundation Establishment Ghosts—assets other Heavenly Slaughter Sect disciples wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

There was one thing Ning Daoran didn’t quite understand.

The Heavenly Slaughter Sect was clearly a Demon Sect from Northern Qingzhou. Why would the Young Master of Heavenly Slaughter Sect come to Shanyang County seeking opportunities, and so brazenly exterminate Chaotic Sect’s Foundation Establishments?

Unfortunately, he kicked an iron board and was effortlessly eliminated by Ning Daoran.

…

After collecting the Storage Bag, Ning Daoran released several threads of Samadhi True Fire, reducing Fang Ye, the bald man, and the others’ bodies to a pile of ash.

Moreover, he also collected the body of the Third-tier Puppet Flash Thunder Leopard into his Storage Bag. These could potentially be useful items; although unrecognized at the moment, they may come in handy later.

Subsequently, he collected the Secret Treasure Boxes from the Green Stone Hall into his Storage Bag as well.

Having finished all this, Ning Daoran retraced his steps, interweaving Earth Escape and Wood Escape Techniques to avoid attracting any further unnecessary trouble.

Before long, the Mana fluctuations of an Array appeared within the scope of his Divine Sense.

It was the one-way Array mentioned by Fang Ye.

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows but did not interfere and instead continued on his way back, dispersing the Yin Qi Mist with the True Yang Furnace Technique, and alongside Big Stupid Deer, returned to Chaotic Sect as a streak of light.

In the courtyard shielded by the Small Cloud Mist Array.

He brewed a cup of Spiritual Tea and took a sip. Refreshed and clear-headed, as for the recent events in the Yinsha Land… he might as well consider them as having never happened!
