Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 465 has no numerical values, only hard work and sweat.

"Bomb them to death!"

As he cast a spell, the chariot, resembling a white jade lotus platform, instantly changed direction! A blinding white light shone from the cannon in the center of the chariot, and a terrifying, cold, heavy energy, seemingly capable of freezing space, rapidly gathered! This was the military's trump card, the "Jade Pool Chariot"! A single shot could annihilate both body and soul!
A chill ran down Duan Huaige's spine! While this white jade chariot wasn't as grand as the bronze chariots that had appeared at Longhu Mountain, its killing intent was equally terrifying. Being locked onto by this Xuan Guang Cannon, he felt as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, his hair standing on end!

To withstand it head-on?! Even with the Golden Light Mantra and the Crimson Lotus Body Tempering Technique combined, one would still suffer injuries! This is definitely not a long-term solution!
In a flash, many thoughts raced through Duan Huaige's mind. Qiu Zhenren, who possessed the Kunlun Ruins' magical artifact, could no longer be easily killed. The only option now was to lure the enemy deep into their territory!

He turned and gave Yan Qiuxi and Xiao Jiang a look, then resolutely met the heavy cannon of the Yaochi chariot! He withstood the attack with all his might, then spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura instantly became weak and listless, and his body staggered backward, as if he had been seriously injured by the attack!
"Xiao Duan!"

Jiang Xiyu gasped in shock. Seeing Duan Huaige cough up blood, her heart shattered. She rushed forward without hesitation, her voice icy: "Bastard, I'll kill you!"

Where's my main account? Let me use my main account! If I don't beat him to a pulp, then all my training for this witch main account was for nothing!
Seeing this, Yan Qiuxi felt equally distressed, but the look Duan Huaige had given them just now seemed to be full of profound meaning, which was why Yan Qiuxi did not lose her composure immediately.

It seems like Duan Huaige deliberately got hit?
"Hahaha! At his last gasp! Still thinking of defying the imperial court! Wishful thinking!" Master Qiu was overjoyed at the sight! He thought Duan Huaige was truly seriously injured and exhausted! The divine tree was within reach, easily obtained!
Just as he was about to press his advantage, Duan Huaige swiftly returned to the base of the Spirit-Nourishing Tree, and Qiu Youji hurriedly withdrew his chariot to attack. He absolutely could not allow the aftershocks of the Yaochi Mystic Light Cannon to reach the Divine Tree!

But when he was about to personally capture Duan Huaige, he suddenly hesitated for a moment. Having reached the Golden Core realm, how could he be a fool? If he hadn't been alert, he would have perished long ago.

Although this kid took a hit, he only looks seriously injured. If he hides under the tree and waits for me to come over so I can kill him, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

The safest approach is to simply wait it out with Duan Huaige, regardless of whether he is seriously injured or on the verge of death. As long as they wait, he will definitely have the upper hand.
The key issue is that he can't afford to wait. Master Qiu had deliberately sent the squad away, wanting to claim all the credit for himself. If the military's squad catches up, his hopes will be dashed.

He was not stupid, but he was also very greedy. The temptation of the treasure was within reach. If he got the Spirit Wood first and then "accidentally" made contact with this treasure, even if Commander Zhang was angry, he would be helpless against him and would even have to beg him in the future!
Fortune favors the bold! I'll risk it all! I refuse to believe that a Golden Core cultivator could survive a cannon blast from the Jade Pool Chariot!
His figure moved like lightning, transforming into a streak of light that instantly swept across the chaotic battlefield. His eyes were fixed on the Spirit Tree that emitted an alluring aura, and Duan Huaige, who was "severely injured and dying" beside him!
"The sacred tree is mine!" Master Qiu grinned maliciously, his calloused hands wreathed in powerful grappling light as he fiercely grabbed at the trunk of the Spirit Tree! His other hand struck at Duan Huaige's crown, intending to cripple him completely!

Just as his palm was about to touch the Spirit Wood, and his fingertips even felt the strange fluctuations of life and death!
Duan Huaige, who was originally critically injured, curled up a cold smile!

The landscape painting in his arms unfolded, suddenly unleashing unprecedented spatial fluctuations!
An invisible spatial ripple instantly spread out, completely enveloping Master Qiu and the area within several feet around him! The sinister smile on Master Qiu's face froze instantly as he felt an irresistible, immense suction force! The scene before him instantly blurred and distorted!
"No—! A spatial magic weapon?!" Master Qiu roared in despair, frantically activating his golden core to try and break free, but being pulled in by this powerful spatial force at such close range, his resistance was like an ant trying to shake a tree!

A flash of light! Master Qiu's figure, along with the rock beneath his feet, vanished instantly! A disheveled figure appeared out of thin air, crashing heavily onto the cracked black earth—it was none other than the still-shaken Master Qiu!

"Where...where is this?!" Master Qiu scrambled to his feet, looking around in horror at the unfamiliar space. He immediately sensed that the connection between this place and the outside world had been completely severed! What terrified him even more was the repulsive and suppressive force emanating from the entire space, like invisible shackles, firmly binding him!
"Welcome to...my territory." Duan Huaige's figure appeared before Master Qiu like a ghost, standing in mid-air. At this moment, in this small grotto-heaven, he was like the master!
"Playing tricks! Do you think I'm really afraid of you?!"

Master Qiu was filled with shock and rage, but his peak Golden Core cultivation allowed him to forcefully calm down. He formed hand seals, his Golden Core spinning wildly within him, and his immense spiritual power transformed into a gigantic phantom of a mountain-splitting axe, slashing fiercely at Duan Huaige with the power to cleave through everything, while simultaneously attempting to tear apart this fragile space! However, facing this strike capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, Duan Huaige merely extended a single finger.

"This place...is devoid of spiritual energy!"

As his indifferent voice fell, Master Qiu was horrified to discover that the golden core within his body, which had been circulating wildly, had been instantly drained of its fuel! The sparse spiritual energy in the surrounding space receded from him like a receding tide!
The phantom image of the giant axe that he had conjured, having lost the support of spiritual power, instantly became illusory and transparent, and then... silently dissipated into the air!
"What?!" Master Qiu was terrified, feeling his power rapidly draining away like a rootless duckweed!
"Here... gravity is ten thousand times stronger."

Duan Huaige's voice was like a divine decree! Master Qiu felt an unimaginable, terrifying gravity suddenly descend upon him! It was as if a colossal mountain of ten thousand jun was pressing down on him! His Golden Core stage body barely withstood the immense pressure and was almost crushed into dust.

He quickly activated his divine soul technique, extracting his still-developing nascent soul, and transformed into a soul body, fleeing in a sorry state.

"Here, the wind rises! The rain comes!"

A violent, raging wind swept over, and Master Qiu felt as if his soul was being battered by a storm. Large raindrops pelted his soul, threatening to extinguish the fire within it.

"No... spare me... young friend Duan... no, senior Duan." Master Qiu used his last strength to weakly beg for mercy.

Duan Huaige remained expressionless as he gently pressed his palm downwards.

The cracked earth beneath Master Qiu suddenly collapsed, forming a pitch-black vortex! Terrifying chaotic currents surged forth from it, instantly engulfing Master Qiu's physical body and soul!
Before he could even utter a scream, this peak Golden Core expert, an important military advisor, was completely torn apart and annihilated by the chaotic currents within this mountain and river space belonging to Duan Huaige, leaving not even a trace behind!

There are no numerical values, only hard work and sweat! This is the terrifying aspect of the later stages of combat for cultivators of the Mountain and River Dao. Even a peak Golden Core cultivator will become a lamb to the slaughter once they enter the Mountain and River Diagram.

Duan Huaige didn't even glance at the vanished vortex; he immediately sensed the outside world. The Spirit-Breathing Tree remained rooted in the rock strata of Kunlun Ruins, its gray-green light pillar reaching the sky. The Yaochi Chariot above the rift valley seemed to have fallen into brief chaos due to Qiu Zhenren's disappearance.

He wants to steal this chariot and go to the deeper Kunlun Ruins!
