Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 142: Chapter 124: Finally Killing the Damned Zong, Magical Treasure Explodes! (First Update)
“Damned Zong didn’t want to tangle with you. He knew that although the portable paradise was precious, one had to be alive to use it.”

“For him, having already obtained dozens of Gathering Spirit Flowers, such a quantity was sufficient for him to break through to the Return to Void Realm within several decades.”

“Therefore, all he wanted now was to leave as quickly as possible and escape that terrifying presence that was rapidly approaching.”

“But how could you let him do as he wished? At the risk of sustaining serious injuries, you desperately activated your Spiritual Power, using your own body to hold back Damned Zong.”

“In just tens of seconds, your body was severely damaged yet again.”

“But at this moment, Luo Shuying finally arrived!”

“Luo Shuying suddenly appeared from a shadowy area, and without a word, she attacked Damned Zong.”

“Damned Zong was initially delighted to see Luo Shuying, and was just about to say something, but when he saw Luo Shuying coming at him, he quickly mobilized his bone sword to defend himself.”

“Obviously, Damned Zong hadn’t expected that you had already allied with Luo Shuying with the intention of taking his life.”

“After all, in his view, Luo Shuying had been an old-time protector of the Descending Sect for more than a dozen years, and you had only joined three years ago. How could she have been turned by you?”

“But things had come to this, and Damned Zong couldn’t think too much, only able to fight back with all his might.”

“The two of them clashed like flashes of blades and shadows of swords in the high sky for dozens of rounds.”

“However, compared to you, Legendary Level Luo Shuying obviously had much higher strength, dominating Damned Zong the entire time!”

“And Damned Zong was also using all his trump cards, barely managing to hold up against Luo Shuying’s offensive.”

Su Xing let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

“Luckily, Luo Shuying arrived just in time… This Damned Zong’s strength really cannot be underestimated. Even though I’m at the Divine Strength Realm, there’s still such a huge gap between him and me…”

“Even so, this old dog is actually able to exchange dozens of moves with a Legendary Level fighter, clearly indicating that his strength is nearly Legendary…”

Su Xing wasn’t too worried about whether Luo Shuying could defeat Damned Zong.

After all, Luo Shuying had been able to dominate Damned Zong when she was at the peak of the Martial Emperor Level.

Now that she had broken through to Legendary Level, it was obviously even less of a concern.

However, Su Xing was somewhat worried that this old dog, with his many tricks and expertise in surviving, might be able to escape from Luo Shuying’s attacks.”

“Sss~ It’s really hard to say… Luo Shuying chased him for several days and nights without being able to kill him before. This old dog definitely has too many trump cards, and we absolutely cannot take him lightly!”

Su Xing silently reminded himself, his gaze turning toward the simulation panel.

“While Luo Shuying and Damned Zong were locked in battle, you hurriedly activated the Spiritual Power in your body, attempting to purge the black qi that Damned Zong had implanted into you.”

“But this black qi was like a bone-perforating maggot; as soon as your Spiritual Power touches it, it was quickly consumed, instead strengthening the black qi a bit.”

“You were even more alarmed in your heart, realizing that this black qi was extremely malicious, definitely the bane of Qi Cultivation Cultivators. Had you not been practicing Body Refinement as well, you would have fallen at Damned Zong’s feet long ago.”

“You tried using the Li Fire Technique to expel the black qi, and sure enough, derived from the ancient Vermilion Bird’s fire, the Li Fire Technique had a good restraining effect on the black qi.”

“However, the Li Fire Technique consumed a lot, and the process of purging the black qi was extremely painful. You consumed a lot of Spirit Stones, just barely getting rid of most of the black qi in your body, with the remaining qi having penetrated too deep to be eliminated in a short time.”

“But at this moment, having recovered your fighting strength and after swallowing a few Wound Healing Pills, you were ready to join the battle.”

“Damned Zong, fighting Luo Shuying alone, was already struggling. Now seeing you regain your fighting power, he was immediately filled with fear, knowing that if he did not flee, he might truly end up dead here today.”

“Damned Zong, with his rich combat experience, was not thrown into disarray by your addition. He knew that to break through, he had to find an opportunity in the gaps, which meant first seriously injuring you. Then, Luo Shuying would surely be too busy to notice, giving him a great chance to escape.”

“But you knew this as well, so you didn’t join the fight directly. Instead, you just controlled the Li Fire Technique from a distance to harass Damned Zong.”

“As expected, Damned Zong, while counteracting Luo Shuying, had to be careful of your surprise Li Fire attacks. Soon, he could barely cope, being hit by Luo Shuying multiple times and being burned by your Li Fire Technique, suffering intensely.”

“Seeing that you wouldn’t take the bait, Damned Zong resorted to cunning, starting to taunt Luo Shuying. He directly claimed that you were Luo Shuying’s kept pretty boy, and stated that the Descending Sect had not treated her poorly. If she was truly loyal, in the future, she might not lack the opportunity to join the main clan (Foreign Race). All the while, he kept trying to disturb Luo Shuying’s emotions, hoping to find an opening.”

“However, Luo Shuying was not at all disturbed by Damned Zong’s words. She had no loyalty towards the Foreign Race to begin with, nor did she care about others’ slanders, and instead increased the force of her attacks on Damned Zong even further.”

“Seeing himself being driven to a corner multiple times, Damned Zong grimaced and stimulated a secret technique. An innumerable amount of black qi surged into his body, his eyes turning pitch black as if he had been possessed.”

“Under the influence of the Demonic Qi, Damned Zong was clearly much stronger, gradually being able to withstand the offensive of the two of you, but you could feel the instability of his energy and knew that he couldn’t maintain this state for long.”

“Sure enough, after only a minute, Damned Zong thought of escaping, darting away into the distance.”

[But you and Luo Shuying closely followed, and the damned Zong quickly exited the state of Demonic Qi entering his body, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood tainted with black poison, his eyes filled with resentful fury.]

Su Xing looked on somewhat dumbstruck, murmuring to himself:

“This damned Zong’s techniques are even more numerous than I imagined! To think he still had the Demonic Qi invasion up his sleeve, had he used that from the start, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand it…”

“But he didn’t use it then, which goes to show the cost of this accursed secret technique must be enormous!”

“Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage really are unfathomable, especially these old monsters who have lived for a thousand years… Defeating them is easy, but killing them is too difficult!”

Su Xing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

“But it’s precisely for this reason that I must kill you! The path of cultivation is about struggling against heaven, struggling against others… Besides, this damned Zong is cruel and ruthless. If I don’t kill him, he will eventually come to kill me… I might as well strike first!”

Su Xing looked again at the simulation panel.

[The damned Zong shot you a piercing look and then roared, seemingly wanting to pounce on you in a desperate one-for-one exchange. Seeing his reckless appearance, you immediately became cautious, quickly mustering your Origin Force to parry.]

[Unexpectedly, the damned Zong dashed halfway and then stepped out, leaping hundreds of feet like performing Spatial Teleportation, escaping from the encirclement of you and Luo Shuying in the blink of an eye.]

[You quickly marshaled your Spiritual Power, chasing after the damned Zong, but Luo Shuying was even faster than you, relentlessly pursuing right behind him.]

[The damned Zong continually activated his Mana, his footsteps appearing mysterious; with each light step, he would appear hundreds of feet away the next second. Even Luo Shuying could only see his silhouette from a distance with such speed.]

[But you knew that such life-saving Divine Skills must consume tremendously and wouldn’t last long, so you quickly informed Luo Shuying, asking her not to give up the chase.]

[Luo Shuying nodded gravely, unrelentingly pursuing the damned Zong, maintaining a distance of several hundred meters between them.]

[The damned Zong glanced back at you and seeing that you were not giving up, cursed under his breath and sped up his run.]

[You saw him taking out one or two Spirit Stones from his Storage Magical Artifact from time to time to replenish his strength, his face showing a pained expression.]

[But the life-saving Divine Skill could not be activated indefinitely, and after chasing him for hundreds of kilometers, the damned Zong finally stopped.]

[He turned his gaze toward you, his eyes carrying a hint of pleading. He stated that it was not uncommon for Cultivators to kill for treasure, and he was willing to hand over the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng to you, just asking you to spare his life.]

[But you snorted coldly, pretending to agree, while exchanging a glance with Luo Shuying, who immediately understood your intention.]

[You saw the damned Zong throw out a Storage Bag, tossing it far away to the ground, then he turned and continued to flee relentlessly.]

[You and Luo Shuying did not look at the Storage Bag but mentally noted its location, continuing your pursuit of the damned Zong.]

[After chasing him for a day and a night, you finally wore the damned Zong down to the brink of exhaustion.]

[At this moment, the Spiritual Power within the damned Zong was extremely unstable, and even you were gasping for air, feeling exhausted throughout your body.]

[Only the Legendary Level Luo Shuying seemed fairly stable, just slightly out of breath.]

[Seeing that the damned Zong was no longer fleeing, Luo Shuying did not hesitate to attack him once more.]

[The damned Zong sneered, and before his death, he looked deeply at you, then took out his Storage Magical Artifact, as if he wanted to destroy it then and there.]

[You wanted to stop him but were too late, only able to watch as the Storage Magical Artifact exploded on the spot, falling to the ground from high above.]

[Meanwhile, Luo Shuying struck the damned Zong’s head, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.]

[A black light shot out from the damned Zong’s body, flying straight toward the distance.]

[You knew that it was the damned Zong’s Primordial Spirit, and you naturally could not just watch him escape, so you activated the Li Fire Technique, attacking the damned Zong’s Primordial Spirit.]

[Scorched by the high temperatures of the Li Fire Technique, the damned Zong let out a wretched scream, begging you to show mercy and not to be utterly ruthless.]

[You just looked at him coldly, asking about the whereabouts of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng. The damned Zong said that the seeds of the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng were in the Storage Bag he had just thrown out, begging you to spare his life.]

[Of course, you wouldn’t easily believe him, but you didn’t have a technique to imprison the Primordial Spirit and could only threaten the damned Zong with the Li Fire Technique.]

[You first utilized your Divine Sense to locate each piece of the shattered Storage Magical Artifact left by the damned Zong upon his death.]

[This damned Zong proved to be cruel and ruthless in his thoughts, wishing to leave no treasures for you even in his final moments, with most Magic Artifacts in the Storage Bag reduced to shreds, leaving behind only a few badly damaged Magic Artifacts and Jade Slips.]

[You picked up one of the Jade Slips and probed it with your Divine Sense, and then your heart shook violently, for it was a secret technique of Cultivators!]
