Chapter 61

"There's something strange about his cultivation technique!" Su Shier stared at the opponent, and the silver light sword given by the Grand Elder immediately appeared in his hand.

In one leap, he jumped out of the window, his feet moving with the invisible phantom steps as he advanced toward the opponent.

His body moved like a shadow, and in the dim night, only a streak of silver sword light could be seen.

True essence surged within his body but never dissipated.

The breath-holding technique was miraculous, but it would fail once true essence was used.

The person before him was also at the Seventh Level of Qi Condensation. If they were to clash head-on, Su Shier was confident of victory, but it would take considerable effort. He intended to conceal his cultivation and catch the opponent off guard.

"Hmph, a mere Third Level of Qi Condensation, and you dare to act so recklessly in front of me!"

The pale-faced cultivator sneered, and a dull gray blade appeared in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, a gray cold light shot out to meet the charging Su Shier.

His face showed disdain, but in his heart, he was secretly on guard.

This kid is only at the Third Level of Qi Condensation, yet he dares to attack me. There must be more to it!

In the next second, the two figures met, and their weapons clashed with a crisp sound.

"Clang!"

A shocking burst of energy erupted. Feeling the aura emanating from Su Shier, the pale-faced man was taken aback.

"What! You are... at the Seventh Level of Qi Condensation?!"

He had considered many possibilities, but never imagined that the person before him was a cultivator of the same realm.

In this case, all his precautions were rendered useless.

Realizing the situation was dire, the pale-faced man decisively retreated, trying to create distance from Su Shier.

"Do you think it's too late to run now?" Su Shier coldly snorted.

He held the sword in one hand and formed a seal with the other.

The Wind Summoning Technique was instantly cast, and true essence transformed into a whirlwind, carrying him around the pale-faced man in a half-circle.

A flash of silver light, and the silver light sword, driven by his true essence, emitted a more brilliant silver glow, piercing through the opponent's back.

"Ugh..."

The pale-faced man gasped, and blood immediately flowed from his chest.

But the thin layer of black mist around him surged toward Su Shier like a living thing.

"Hmm?"

Su Shier remained unperturbed, and with a wave of his hand, the Fire Control Technique enveloped his entire arm in flames.

The black mist met its match in the flames.

The Eighth-Level Bagua Fist was unleashed, and the fist, surrounded by flames, struck out, engulfing the black mist in fire.

"Ahh..."

Under the flames, the pale-faced man let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground, barely alive.

The current Su Shier was battle-hardened. His movements were swift and fluid, like a flowing stream.

The pale-faced man's strength had barely been unleashed when he was severely defeated.

"Who are you? Why did you attack us?!" Su Shier stared at the man on the ground and demanded.

"Kid, you dare to hurt me? My master won't let you off!" The pale-faced man gritted his teeth and glared at Su Shier.

"Hmph!" Su Shier's eyes turned cold, and with a swift sword movement, the silver light sword cut through the man's legs.

"Answering irrelevantly! The next strike will sever your head!"

In agony, the pale-faced man's face contorted. He wanted to faint, but seeing Su Shier raise his sword again, he hurriedly shouted, "I am a disciple of White Bone Mountain, a disciple of White Bone Senior. I attacked because my cultivation technique can absorb others' cultivation, rapidly enhancing my own strength!"

White Bone Mountain? White Bone Senior?

Su Shier muttered to himself. He didn't know much about other sects.

However, what he was more concerned about was the situation at Seven Mystic Sect, so he immediately asked, "What is your relationship with Lin Qiao'er of Seven Mystic Sect?"

"She is my junior sister and the chosen furnace by my master, White Bone Senior."

The pale-faced man, lying on the ground, answered every question.

Furnace?

Su Shier was somewhat surprised by this answer.

He didn't know how a furnace worked, but he had read partial descriptions in some miscellaneous records.

He knew it was a low-level method of cultivation, using women to cultivate yin energy, then absorbing it to enhance one's own cultivation.

This method treated female cultivators as tools and was despised by all cultivators.

Thinking of this, Su Shier's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

On the ground, the pale-faced man, seeing Su Shier's silence and increasingly cold gaze, shivered and hurriedly shouted, "Kid, I advise you to let me go. Otherwise, when my master returns, you're finished!"

"Threatening me? You've picked the wrong person!"

Su Shier coldly snorted and struck again with his sword.

No matter what, he wouldn't let this person leave alive.

"You..." The pale-faced man's eyes widened in fear.

Before he could speak, he felt a chill at his neck, and his head was severed from his body, ending his life.

"Brother Shier, wait!"

At the same time, Zhu Hanwei's voice called out from inside the room.

However, when he came out, he saw only the three segments of the pale-faced man's body, and his face turned as white as snow.

"Is there a problem?" Su Shier looked at Zhu Hanwei calmly.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, White Bone Senior is a very troublesome late-stage Foundation Establishment scattered cultivator and a malevolent cultivator."

"He is cruel and lacks the demeanor of a senior cultivator. If any sect offends him, he targets the younger disciples. He is notorious in the Cangshan Mountains."

"I heard that two years ago, our Yun Ge Sect had a conflict with him. At that time, all seven peak leaders joined forces to kill him. I didn't expect him to still be alive."

Zhu Hanwei spoke hurriedly, his face full of fear, which he couldn't hide.

Su Shier was prepared, knowing this person had some background. But hearing Zhu Hanwei's words, he was still startled.

However, he didn't show it and said calmly,

"Why are you panicking? Since he only appeared after a year, he must have been severely injured in that battle, even if he didn't die."

"However, to be safe, we should leave immediately and report back to the sect!"

As he spoke, he used the Object Control Technique to pick up all the usable treasures from the pale-faced man's body. Then, with a Fireball Technique, he skillfully destroyed the body and evidence.

After doing this, he turned and left without hesitation.

Although he didn't get the tribute from Seven Mystic Sect, this information was enough to complete the mission and earn the reward.

Zhu Hanwei nodded in agreement, fully concurring.

The two had just left the courtyard and were heading toward the main gate.

Suddenly, three beams of light flashed in the sky, rapidly approaching.

"Bad! White Bone Senior is back!" Zhu Hanwei cried out in alarm, his face drained of color.
