Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 129 Rescue
The battle between Elder Zhao and Wang Guling almost flattened the central area of ​​the town.

The damage caused by a casual attack from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was so severe that even though the houses in the center of the town were made of stone which were many times stronger than wooden houses, they were still unable to withstand the attack from the two men.

In other words, Li Zhen’s wooden house was quite far away and was not affected by the aftermath of the battle.

At this moment, Li Zhen was staring blankly at the life-and-death battle between two Foundation Establishment cultivators on the surveillance camera. The two Foundation Establishment cultivators had put in all their strength.

On the other side, a group of Cuihong Sect monks were chasing the flying boat. Due to the Cuihong Sect having arranged a formation in advance, the flying boat was unable to leave the market area and was trapped.

The ten disciples of Shifang Valley were inferior to the Cuihong Sect disciples who were well prepared, both in terms of number and cultivation, which made it impossible for the Shifang Valley disciples to slow down the flying boat.

The flying boat kept circling in the sky above the market town, while also dodging the attacks from the Cuihong Sect's disciples.

The more Elder Zhao fought, the more frustrated he felt. As a sword cultivator, and one who had cultivated the way of the sword to the second stage, 'Sword Light Differentiation', he was generally invincible among those of the same level.

But the Wang Guling he met today not only had the same cultivation level as him, but the spiritual weapon seal he used just happened to restrain the "Sword Light Differentiation", which made him gradually fall into a disadvantage in the battle.

What made him even more headache was that ten of his own disciples were being hunted down and he had no time to take care of them.

With a loud bang, a fireball transformed from a talisman hit the flying boat.

This was the sixteenth time that the flying boat had been attacked in succession. The flying boat's shield could finally no longer hold on, and its outer shield disappeared.

Before the Shifang Valley disciples in the flying boat could make any move, another talisman hit the flying boat.

This attack caused a charred area on the hull of the flying boat. Although this attack did not damage the hull of the flying boat, it destroyed part of the runes on the surface.

The runes on the boat's hull were destroyed, greatly affecting its speed.

"Everyone run for your lives!" the leader of the disciples of Shifang Valley announced helplessly in a deep voice.

He took the lead in jumping out of the flying boat, cast several spells on his body, and rushed towards the most complex group of wooden houses in the market town.

The other disciples also understood the current situation, and they decisively followed the leading disciple and jumped out of the flying boat.

Two disciples from the Shifang Valley were very unlucky. They were hit by the attacks of the Cuihong Sect disciples just as they jumped out of the flying boat and lost their lives on the spot.

Gu Zhun's luck was pretty good as he followed the leading disciple out. Due to their quick movements, Cuihong Sect did not expect them to be so decisive, and therefore their attacks could not keep up.

He successfully jumped to the ground, then took out the talisman to increase his speed.

Then he rushed into the wooden houses. Before entering, he looked back and saw that the last two disciples of Shifang Valley were killed on the spot. The disciples of Shifang Valley behind him were also targeted.

Gu Zhun had no time to care about his fellow disciples. He only wanted to go faster.

Even though he had the upper hand, he could still sense the pursuit from behind.

His scalp was tingling. The disciples of Cuihong Sect behind him were getting closer and closer. The aura he revealed was that of a late stage of Qi training. Once the disciples of Cuihong Sect got within attack range, he would either be killed or captured.

His only advantage at the moment is that the group of wooden houses is very messy. He can keep changing directions in front and use this little advantage to save his life.

But this advantage cannot last long, as the gap in cultivation cannot be made up by this advantage.

Gu Zhun changed direction again. He could sense that the Cuihong Sect disciples behind him would be able to see him soon. Once he fell into their sight, no matter how fast he ran, it would be in vain.

Just as he was trying hard to squeeze out his potential and increase his speed to save his life, a big hand grabbed his right shoulder.

He was already on high alert, and when he was grabbed by the big hand, he instinctively wanted to attack.

But the power from the big hand was too terrifying. When the big hand touched his right shoulder, his body lost the power to resist.

Only then did he realize that the big hand was stretched out from behind a wooden door, and then he was led behind the door, and the wooden door closed.

Just after the wooden door closed, a disciple of Cuihong Sect appeared from the corner. He did not see the wooden door close, but rushed past it.

Gu Zhun was carried weakly into a passage, and then the entrance to the passage was closed.

"Don't make a sound, are you hurt?" A familiar voice came, and then he saw Li Zhen. "Li Zhen!" Gu Zhun didn't expect to see Li Zhen at the most dangerous moment. He called out Li Zhen's name in great joy, and then he thought of Li Zhen's reminder.

He quickly covered his mouth with his hands and pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds outside.

"I have set up a formation, but the quality of this formation is too low. Don't use your spiritual power recklessly and don't talk loudly!" Li Zhen pointed to the formation plate on the ground in the middle of the basement and said softly.

If all the people coming here are Qigong cultivators, there is no need to worry about the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Formation', as it is sufficient to hide them.

But since there were people practicing foundation building outside, he had no confidence and could only remain quiet as much as possible.

"Thank you!" Gu Zhun looked at Li Zhen in surprise and said.

What amazed him was Li Zhen’s growth. It had been almost a year since he last saw Li Zhen, and at that time Li Zhen was only at the second level of Qi training.

And this time when they met, Li Zhen made him lose the power to resist with just one hand, even though his cultivation level was the fourth level of Qi training.

"It's too early to thank you now. I hope we can get through this!" Li Zhen replied with a wry smile.

Saving Gu Zhun was indeed a big risk. Although he had a trump card that could teleport him to the fairyland world, rescuing Gu Zhun would most likely prevent him from being able to teleport to the ancient cultivation world for a long time.

But Li Zhen still saved Gu Zhun. He even had a plan that if he was discovered by the Cuihong Sect disciples, he would kill them in the shortest possible time.

The basement was used for Li Zhen's teleportation. The area was not very large and there was only a futon.

Fortunately, Gu Zhun was not a particularly particular person, so he just sat on the ground.

"What is your current cultivation level?" Gu Zhun asked softly with great curiosity.

"Fifth level of Qi training!" Li Zhen did not hide it.

"I didn't expect that your cultivation level has surpassed mine in such a short time. Your talent is really enviable!" Gu Zhun exclaimed in amazement. However, he immediately thought of one thing. He didn't even have the strength to resist in Li Zhen's hands. How could he be only at the fifth level of Qi training?

"I have also practiced a physical training technique and have made some achievements!" Li Zhen saw his confusion and explained.

"You had a better time in the market town this year than I did in the sect!" Gu Zhun exclaimed.

"I have learned how to make talismans. Now I can draw first-grade, mid-quality talismans. This gives me enough resources to practice!" Li Zhen explained why he had achieved such results.

Gu Zhun finally understood why Li Zhen's cultivation level improved so quickly. With his talent and mastering a skill that could earn spirit stones, his cultivation level would naturally improve quickly.

Of course, this is just what he thought, Li Zhen concealed too many facts.

After chasing for several hundred meters, the Cuihong Sect disciple discovered something was wrong.

The disciple of Shifang Valley who was at the fourth level of Qi training that he was chasing, no matter how fast he was, could not escape the pursuit of him, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

But now he had completely lost sight of Gu Zhun, which made him wonder if Gu Zhun had hidden himself.

He turned around and looked back the way he came. He walked past a wooden house and sensed the presence of a monk in the house.

He waved his hand, and the flying sword cut through the wooden house. The wooden house had no defensive formation, it was just a warning formation to alert the market town management.

Under the current circumstances, how could the Tiejian Gang and the Zhao family, the management of the market, dare to intervene in a conflict of this level?

After a fierce battle between two foundation-building cultivators from the Shifang Valley and the Cuihong Sect, the leader of the Tiejian Gang and the head of the Zhao family managed to escape with their lives and found a place to hide.

Logically speaking, the leader of the Iron Sword Gang and the head of the Zhao family should stand on the side of the Shifang Valley, but it also depends on who the opponent is.

The Cuihong Sect is a sect of the same level as the Shifang Valley. Without the Shifang Valley's mandatory request, the Tiejian Gang Leader and the Zhao Family Head will not take the initiative to help the Shifang Valley.

It was simply because the Iron Sword Gang and the Zhao family were too weak to withstand Cuihong Sect's revenge.

The flying sword cut open the wooden house, and a wandering cultivator curled up and trembled with his legs hugged. He had been frightened by the terrifying aura of the Cuihong Sect's late-stage Qi training disciple.
