The black-clad cultivator screamed and collapsed limply to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"what?"
The other two black-clad cultivators were shocked. They hadn't expected this seemingly unremarkable woman to be so powerful.
"This idea is tricky, let's retreat."
One of the black-clad monks made a snap decision and turned to flee.
"Want to leave? Too late."
Su Chun snorted coldly, and with a wave of his Blood Shadow Sword, several sword energies shot out simultaneously, like a large net, enveloping the two black-clad cultivators.
Upon seeing this, the two black-clad cultivators quickly used their movement techniques to try and dodge.
However, Su Chun's sword energy was extremely fast, and they were struck by it as soon as they turned around.
"what."
Two more screams rang out as the two black-clad cultivators were simultaneously pierced by the sword energy.
After dealing with the three black-clad cultivators, Su Chun raised his hand and grabbed their corpses. Their souls floated out of their bodies.
They looked at Su Chun with terrified eyes, but Su Chun did not hesitate to use the Concentration Technique. The souls of the three were immediately enveloped by her divine sense and then transformed into pure power that Su Chun devoured.
Looking at the two injured female cultivators, Su Chun helped them mainly because those people were from the demonic path, and she had no good feelings towards the demonic path.
The two women knew from watching Su Chun devour souls that he was definitely not a kind person, and might even be a demonic cultivator.
But after all, the other party saved them.
"Fellow Daoists, are you alright?"
When the two female cultivators saw Su Chun, their faces showed gratitude, and they struggled to get up and pay their respects.
"Thank you for saving us, fellow Daoist. My sister and I are extremely grateful."
Su Chun waved her hand.
"It was nothing, just a small favor. Your injuries are serious, and you shouldn't stay here any longer. Please leave quickly."
The two women immediately helped each other up and flew away.
After they left, Su Chun was excited.
"This Concentration Technique is indeed profound. After absorbing the souls of just three cultivators, I have already felt a slight increase in my spiritual sense. But these are only three early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. If I were to absorb another mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, my spiritual sense would probably reach the early Core Formation stage."
Su Chun felt a surge of joy as she sensed the changes within her sea of consciousness.
In the days that followed, Su Chun began a period of intense cultivation within the inner perimeter of Tianyao Ridge.
She specifically seeks out rogue and evil cultivators who commit numerous evil deeds, kills them, and absorbs their souls to cultivate her mind-concentration technique.
At the same time, she did not slack off in cultivating her magical powers.
The spiritual energy within the inner perimeter of Tianyao Ridge is abundant, and coupled with the large number of pills she brought from her sect, her cultivation level is steadily improving.
After devouring the souls of six early Foundation Establishment cultivators, Su Chun's spiritual consciousness entered the Core Formation stage.
Her spiritual sense at the Core Formation stage was several times stronger than her previous spiritual sense, and its coverage area was also much larger.
The fog also reduced its interference with her consciousness considerably.
Chapter 108 Demon Flame Gate
The moment his divine sense broke through to the Core Formation stage, Su Chun felt that the whole world had become different.
The divine sense that could only vaguely perceive a range of ten meters in Tianyao Ridge now spread out like a tide, clearly illuminating every blade of grass and tree within a radius of several hundred meters.
The mist was no longer an obstacle in her consciousness; instead, it became excellent cover.
She could even see a rat digging a hole three feet underground, and a venomous snake lurking in the treetops in the distance.
"Is this the power of a Core Formation stage divine sense? It is indeed extraordinary."
Su Chun sighed inwardly, for the remnant souls of the six early Foundation Establishment cultivators she had absorbed earlier had now completely merged into her consciousness.
She composed herself and continued to venture deeper into the inner perimeter.
Now that her spiritual sense has greatly increased, she is confident that she can deal with even stronger demonic beasts and cultivators.
Soon, a low roar came from ahead. Su Chun's eyes narrowed, and she quietly crept over.
On an open ground, a steel-armored bear the size of a buffalo was going berserk. Its body was covered with thick black scales, and its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light. It was clearly a demon beast at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.
Opposite the armored bear was a herb emitting a faint blue light.
"The Frost Grass is at least 500 years old and has miraculous effects on cultivating water-based techniques or refining ice-based pills."
The armored bear appears to be guarding the Ice Grass.
Su Chun observed for a moment and saw that although the armored bear had a strong defense, its movements were slightly slow. She took a deep breath and darted out like a ghost.
"Starfire Sword Qi".
The fiery red sword energy, carrying a scorching aura, pierced straight for the armored bear's eyes. The armored bear roared and raised its massive claws to block.
"clang!"
The sword energy collided with the scales, sparks flew everywhere, but only a shallow white mark was left on the scales.
Su Chun had anticipated this, and using the momentum, she spun around to avoid the armored bear's attack. At the same time, she summoned the Moonlit Silk, which transformed into a white ribbon and wrapped around the armored bear's hind legs.
The armored bear, in pain, became even more ferocious and turned to strike Su Chun with its paw.
Su Chun didn't fight it head-on. Instead, she used the Lingxu Step, moving like a willow catkin in the wind, weaving through the gaps in the armored bear's attacks while constantly harassing it with her sword energy.
After several rounds, the armored bear had several wounds on its body. Although they were not deep, they made it even more frenzied.
Su Chun seized an opening, channeled all his mana into the Blood Shadow Sword, and slashed fiercely at the neck joint of the Ironclad Bear, where the scales were relatively weak.
"Pfft!"
As the sword flashed, the armored bear let out a mournful howl before its massive body crashed to the ground.
Su Chun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to collect the demon cores of the Frost Grass and the Ironclad Bear when he heard several malicious laughs coming from behind him.
"Hehe, good skills. You took care of the Ironclad Bear so quickly. This Ice Grass is ours now."
Su Chun turned around abruptly and saw three cultivators dressed in dark red robes walking slowly towards him. Their sleeves were embroidered with a burning black flame, and their eyes were greedily fixed on the ice grass and the armored bear corpse on the ground.
"The Demon Flame Gate?"
Su Chun felt a chill run down her spine. The Demon Flame Sect was a major sect in the demonic path, known for its ruthless actions and expertise in fire and poison techniques. It was infamous throughout the Tiannan Continent. Although it was not as powerful as the six major sects of the demonic path, it was not far behind.
The leader was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with triangular eyes, a flat nose, and a hideous scar on his face. His name was Li Tian.
Two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators followed behind him.
"Little girl, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Frost Grass and the Ironclad Bear Demon Crystal, and then cripple your cultivation, we might spare your life."
Li Tian said in a sinister tone, a black flame burning in his hand, emitting a pungent, poisonous smoke.
Su Chun sneered inwardly. Her spiritual sense had now reached the Core Formation stage. Although these three were not weak in cultivation, she was confident that she could fight them with her various methods.
"If you want something, you have to earn it through your own abilities."
Su Chun's tone was icy as she slowly raised the Blood Shadow Sword, its blade shrouded in a bloody aura.
"You fools who don't know what's good for them, get them!"
Li Tian roared and made the first move.
The black, fiery blade energy, carrying a deadly poison, slashed down towards Su Chun's head.
The other two Demon Flame Sect cultivators also unleashed their magic weapons, attacking Su Chun from the left and right.
Su Chun neither dodged nor evaded, but instead fully activated her divine sense, clearly seeing the trajectory of the three attackers' attacks.
She first sidestepped, narrowly avoiding Li Tian's blade aura, and at the same time, she swung her Blood Shadow Sword, creating a blazing wall of fire that blocked the attacks of the other two.
"Hmm? This is interesting."
When Li Tian saw that Su Chun was able to dodge his attack, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he attacked even more fiercely.
Su Chun held nothing back, unleashing the Lingxu Step to its fullest potential, her figure weaving between the three like a ghost.
Her goal was clear: to deal with the two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators first.
"A meteorite has fallen."
Su Chun let out a low shout, and the Blood Shadow Sword burst forth with dazzling light. Several sword energies shot out like meteors, attacking the two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators respectively.
The two hadn't expected Su Chun to be so fast, and hastily used their magic weapons to defend themselves.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
With two muffled thuds, two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators were struck by the sword energy, their magic weapons shattered, and they were sent flying backward, spitting out blood.
"what?"
Li Tian was shocked. He hadn't expected this unassuming black-clad cultivator to be so powerful, instantly dispatching his two subordinates.
"who are you?"
Li Tian looked at Su Chun warily, no longer daring to underestimate her.
Su Chun did not answer, but moved again.
She appeared behind Li Tian in a flash, her Blood Shadow Sword, imbued with a strong aura of blood, aimed straight at Li Tian's back.
Li Tian reacted quickly, turning around abruptly. The black flames on his ghost-head blade surged, forming a fire shield.
"clang!"
The Blood Shadow Sword pierced the shield with a loud bang, causing the shield to shake violently and nearly shatter.
Li Tian was so shocked that he staggered backward, his face showing horror.
"Your power... is that even possible!"
Li Tian couldn't believe that a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess such power.
Su Chun didn't give him much time to think. She pressed forward again, attacking with the Blood Shadow Sword in alternating strikes, the sword energy crisscrossing, each move deadly.
Although Li Tian was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under Su Chun's fierce and relentless attacks.
