Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 449 Slaying a Second-Rank Golden Core Cultivator!

He even knows how to refine thunder pearls after he has mastered the Five Elements Thunder Technique, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, and the Chaos Divine Thunder.

However, refining thunder beads is often not easy. It requires a lot of true energy, and although the thunder beads that are refined are quite powerful, they often lose many of their magical transformations.

Unless one finds a place with abundant thunder energy and uses the energy of heaven and earth to refine thunder pearls, it would be much more convenient and save a lot of effort.

What Su Qiuyue is using now is clearly a kind of demonic lightning bead.

These demonic lightning beads were filled with a cold, bloody, and filthy aura, and even Gu Yuan sensed a trace of danger. They were clearly lightning beads condensed from a top-tier divine power level lightning technique.

Furthermore, the person who condensed these thunder beads must have been a Golden Core cultivator who practiced the Demonic Thunder Technique; otherwise, these thunder beads would never have posed any threat to Gu Yuan.

That radiant light should be some kind of flying magic weapon similar to Gu Yuan's Blazing Carp Shuttle. However, judging from its quality, it is clearly not a magic weapon, but a top-tier magic artifact.

The forty-nine thunder orbs appeared at just the right moment, catching the treasure light completely off guard. It had no way to dodge them and could only burst out with a bright light, trying its best to block the power of the thunder orbs.

boom! boom! boom!
As the forty-nine thunder orbs exploded simultaneously, streams of black and red lightning rapidly spread and shattered everything in the surrounding tangible and intangible objects.

A burst of intense black and red light spread and covered everything within a radius of dozens of miles.

As for the precious light, it was hit squarely by the blast.

"Damn it, who is it?!"

"Be careful, son!"

"Gongsun Li, hurry up and capture the thief!"

"Young master, please calm down."

……

Faintly, some noisy shouts could be heard.

Not long after, a flash of green light appeared, and the remaining lightning was completely extinguished and disappeared.

The situation then became clear.

The original radiant light was now tattered and broken, resembling a dilapidated stone boat riddled with holes and covered in twisted, charred marks. Most of the protective barriers on it had collapsed.

Clearly, this top-tier magical artifact is now essentially useless.

As for the three cultivators inside, they have now appeared on the sea surface, and all three of them look somewhat disheveled.

Zheng Changlong was alright, only his clothes were a bit disheveled and his hair was a little messy. As for the other two Golden Core cultivators behind him...

The young cultivator was similar to Zheng Changlong, but the gaunt old man was not only disheveled and tattered, but also had several charred wounds on his body, and one of his arms was broken off.

Blood was still flowing from the corner of the old man's mouth, and he looked miserable, as if he had been seriously injured.

The man in the lead, Zheng Changlong, was so angry that his chest heaved. He looked around furiously and said, "Damn it, who is it? Show yourself right now!"

As for the other two, they acted as guards, cautiously observing their surroundings.

What just happened was clearly not an accident, but rather deliberate. Therefore, the two were on guard against any potential attack.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, it's been a long time."

Just as Zheng Changlong finished speaking, Su Qiuyue appeared in front of the three of them, smiling and saying.

"Su Qiuyue, it was you!"

Upon seeing Su Qiuyue, Zheng Changlong's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly surprised, but then he suddenly realized: "No wonder, you wanted to kill me, could it be that you were unwilling to become my Daoist partner?" "When I wanted to become your Daoist partner before, you were not very willing. If my father had not tempted you with benefits, your Taixu Temple's abbot might not have agreed to this matter."

"It seems you intend to kill me to resolve this matter at its root."

Seeing that Su Qiuyue remained silent, Zheng Changlong sneered, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. With those thunder beads you just used, you couldn't kill me."

At this point, Zheng Changlong's gaze suddenly turned cold, staring at Su Qiuyue with murderous intent:
"However, I have changed my mind now. I do not intend to become your Daoist partner, because you are not worthy at all. I will capture you and use demonic secret techniques to refine you into a puppet, sealing your soul within it. You will kneel before my cave, suffering torment day and night, making you wish you were dead!"

"Unable to live, unable to die?!"

Su Qiuyue chuckled: "Young Master Zheng is quite the show-off. I wonder if you'll still be able to say such things if you can't even save your own life next."

Zheng Changlong sneered, about to say something, when a sharp sword light emerged from the sea and struck the young cultivator behind Zheng Changlong with extreme speed.

This sword strike was devoid of any fancy moves; it was simply extremely fast, extremely sharp, and domineering!

The sword light flashed, leaving only a long trail in the void.

The speed was so fast that the three of them didn't even have time to react.

Especially the young cultivators behind Zheng Changlong.

This person is a genuine Golden Core cultivator. Not only is his cultivation profound, but he is also one of the disciples of the Old Man of Hun Tian. He is a cultivation genius who has achieved the second rank of Golden Core and possesses the potential for Yang Spirit and even Primordial Spirit.

Even with a second-grade elixir, he had no time to react to Gu Yuan's imminent sword strike.

The protective magic artifact on his body only passively activated its spiritual light to protect him.

However, it was completely unable to stop Gu Yuan from unleashing his natal flying sword, the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword, at full power.

The young cultivator was swept past by the sword light.

The sword flashed and then pierced through the clouds high in the sky.

"who?!"

Zheng Changlong's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked towards the spot where the sword light had just flown out.

Although the sword light he just saw was restrained in its power, it still made him feel a chilling killing intent and sharp aura.

Then, Zheng Changlong noticed that the young cultivator beside him, who was his father's disciple, was frozen in place, motionless.

At the same time, a thin red line appeared between his eyebrows and spread down along his philtrum, splitting his entire body in two.

Then, the person split into two pieces and fell downwards.

That sword strike had completely extinguished his life force, and even his soul had been killed in one blow.

Zheng Changlong felt ice-cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and was stunned by this scene.

The person who was killed was a disciple his father had taken in more than 30 years ago. He was extremely talented and had even mastered two top-tier supernatural abilities. Many people once believed that he had the talent to achieve the first rank of alchemy.

Although he later achieved only a second-grade elixir due to various reasons, he was still a remarkably talented individual.

He is also a very outstanding figure among the younger generation of cultivators in the East China Sea.

He accompanied Zheng Changlong this time, also acting as a bodyguard, responsible for protecting Zheng Changlong's safety.
