Chapter 251 Part 1: Members of the Qiao Family Use Martial Arts to Defeat Immortals (1)

A golden core cultivator died in battle!

Dao Fei is not an ordinary person. He has reached the second level of the Golden Core stage and is the second-ranked disciple under Elder Qingzhuo.

However, he still met his end at the hands of Qiao Mu, even in front of many onlookers!

Fear swept through their hearts, and one by one, cultivators decisively controlled their treasures to rise into the sky.

However, the Sky Boat was still suspended in the air, and Elder Qingzhuo was watching, so these cultivators didn’t dare to escape.

Elder Qingzhuo has a bad temper. If even facing ordinary martial artists, he would escape in the face of danger, the consequences could be dire…

……….

In the shadows.

Martial Saint and Wu Qiankun watched silently, feeling ripples in their hearts.

"Did the golden core cultivator really die?" Wu Qiankun was quite surprised.

"Under the sky, there really exist martial artists who can kill a Golden Core cultivator. Is it because Qiao Miao is exceptionally strong and skilled?" Wu Qiankun wondered.

If it was Martial Saint who killed the Golden Core cultivator, Wu Qiankun would not be surprised.

But the one who killed was a previously unheard-of Qiao family member named Qiao Miao, which puzzled him.

"Qiankun, do you think if it were you, could you have killed that golden core cultivator just now?" Martial Saint asked.

Among the Wuji Association, there naturally existed superb martial artists, including Little Martial Saint Wu Qiankun himself.

"I don’t know. I have to fight to find out." In front of Martial Saint, Wu Qiankun naturally didn’t lose his spirit.

Martial Saint despised the weak. If Wu Qiankun lacked fighting spirit, how could he be called "Little Martial Saint" and lead the Wuji Association?

But whether he can defeat a powerful cultivator with a golden core, it’s hard to say. Although he is confident, he has never fought against a golden core cultivator before.

Superb martial artists are very rare in this world.

In the ancient martial arts world, each era had around ten superb martial artists, with variations but not too different.

Cultivators interfering in worldly matters has been happening for about forty years. Before that, cultivators were very mysterious, and only a few superb martial artists had experience fighting against high-level cultivators.

Moreover, the paths of immortality and martial arts are different. The path to becoming a superb martial artist is not clearly defined, and it doesn’t directly correspond to the realm of immortal cultivators.

This is not a pay-to-win game, why focus on balancing professions?

Moreover, when it comes to spending money on cultivation, immortal cultivators spend much more than martial artists.

Even a Martial Saint must admit that cultivators are the main characters in this world. They have dominated this realm for countless years and controlled numerous resources and treasures.

For example, Dao Zhen and Dao Fei are both golden core cultivators, but the difference in their treasures at the same level is quite obvious.

Poor golden core cultivators use talismans mostly made of Cloud Patterns Mountain Copper.

However, Dao Fei, as an elder disciple, had different tools.

A Great Tao Golden Pill cultivator like Dao Zhen, valued by Immortal Gate seniors, was given precious protective items.

"Strength and power combined… " Martial Saint frowned.

"It seems not that simple."

"Qiao Miao’s brute force can rival the great demons."

Martial Saint thought King Qin was a pioneer in exploring Superb Martial Arts, but he was deceived. He wasn’t even a true martial artist.

Therefore, he didn’t have high hopes for Qiao Miao. But who knew that despite checking him out in person, he couldn’t see through his true ability?

Upon hearing these words, Wu Qiankun felt a stir in his heart and quickly said:

"Does ‘adoptive father’ mean that this Qiao Miao from the Qiao family has demon blood and is a half-demon?"

"If we look at it this way, is his exceptional bloodline strength actually because of his demon ancestry?"

The demon clan in this world was once very powerful, at its peak able to rival human cultivators.

But eventually, they were defeated by the cultivators, and now they are no longer as glorious.

Some descendants of Great Demons and Demon Kings who are half-demon mixed blood, are born with powerful bodies that can compete with superb martial artists.

"Did you not see clearly? Qiao Miao’s internal strength is quite robust… While there may be the influence of forbidden techniques, his martial arts skills alone likely exceed two hundred years."

"Most half-demons, while having strong bodies, find it difficult to cultivate internal strength," the Martial Saint shook his head.

The demon clan’s cultivation methods differ from the martial arts and immortal ways of the human clan.

Half-demons with bodies rivaling superb martial artists are actually hard to classify as part of the "human clan."

The stronger the body of a half-demon becomes, the more influenced by the demon’s bloodline it is, the closer it gets to being a pure-blood demon, and the harder it is to practice both human martial arts at the same time.

"If not a half-demon, could it be a special physique? Jiuyang body? Nine Yin body? Pure body?" Wu Qiankun wondered.

If someone is at the third rank in spiritual refining, they possess some divine qualities as a human.

Then, a superb martial artist starts to show signs of a complete transformation.

However, the exploration of Superb Martial Arts is still unclear, far from being able to compete with the path of immortals.

"Stop guessing." Martial Saint waved his hand.

In fact, he had been pondering a question:

What will Martial Saint eat today?

His gaze occasionally passed over Qiao Miao, occasionally over Dao Zhen who had formed the Great Tao Golden Pill, but mostly rested on the Sky Boat in the sky.

After forty years of brutal war, Martial Saint remained hidden for another forty years.

The Elder of the Nascent Soul Stage was a great cultivator whom he could only admire from afar in the past.

As for Elder Qingzhuo, he was actually one of the initiators of the ancient formation in the City of Zhong Province.

……………………

As the golden core cultivators fell in battle.

The few surviving foundation building cultivators quickly unleashed their treasures and soared into the sky, attempting to keep a safe distance from the martial arts of the Qiao family.

However, they dared not stray too far, as the Sky Boat was still watching over them.

Yet, a big question lingered in their minds at that moment.

"Why is Elder Qingzhuo just standing by and watching?"

"Senior Brother Dao Fei is a student of Elder Qingzhuo, how can he remain indifferent?"

If the golden core cultivator Dao Fei dies, it is because Qiao Mu is extremely fast in battle, life and death are decided in an instant, even Elder Qingzhuo may not be able to protect Dao Fei in time.

After Dao Fei’s death, there was no movement on the Sky Boat, no response at all, which is quite puzzling.

"Elder Qingzhuo, what are you considering?" the cultivators were puzzled.

But Elder Qingzhuo is not a kind elder, he has a bit of a temper, so even though they had questions, they dared not ask.

On the Sky Boat.

Elder Qingzhuo frowned, looking down at the battlefield below.

He’s not blind, how could he not notice Dao Fei’s death.

The more aggressive Qiao Miao behaved, breaking the rules, the more cautious Elder Qingzhuo became.

Because he learned from the recent battle that the martial artist below was named Qiao Miao.

Even though the previous Qiao family’s martial artists he dealt with had all died, it still caused Elder Qingzhuo some trouble and injured his Dao foundation.

Mortals often have a saying that if a snake bites them once, they will be scared of the well rope for ten years.

As a Nascent Soul Elder who has cultivated as an immortal for over a thousand years, how could he risk his life against a mortal who lives and dies in a day?

"Just now he was surrounded by many cultivators and he was not unharmed either. This Qiao Miao used a powerful forbidden technique, although he seemed fierce just now, perhaps he is nearing his last breath…"

Elder Qingzhuo sneered.

If it was an inexperienced cultivator, they would probably take advantage of his weakness and try to end his life.

But Elder Qingzhuo was different, he no longer underestimated martial artists.

Last time in the Hundred-mile Desert, the Qiao family member seemed to have fought bravely, exhausted their energy and blood… and then what happened?

Then the next Qiao family member jumped out from between the rocks. If it wasn’t for Elder Qingzhuo’s sharp awareness, even though getting injured, he reacted quickly, might really have got hurt there.

So.

When Dao Fei and the others were fighting just now, Elder Qingzhuo used his awareness to scan the entire city, to see if there were any Qiao family members hiding in secret.

It’s one thing not to scan, but once this awareness sweeps through, he really sensed something unusual.

"There really is a Qiao family’s martial artist hiding among them… two of them? Ha, the Qiao family member is well-known in the worldly realm, appearing to like fighting alone, but actually deceitful and cunning, hiding in secret." Elder Qingzhuo snorted coldly.

But just after he snorted coldly, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
