Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2335  Attacked

Pearl stood alone before the gang of Immortals that had infiltrated into their courtyard. He scanned through them, recognizing the young man that had escaped from last time. Suffice it to say, they were here for revenge. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"How did you get in here?" Pearl asked. The young man had already pointed to Pearl by this point and told them who he was.

A woman walked to the front, her hair dark blue with weird rectangular pupils, as though part of her came from a ram or a goat. Her cultivation base was strong, in the Immortal Ascendant realm. And she wasn't even the strongest.

She looked at Pearl from head to toe and shook her head. "Such a waste. With a face like yours, we could put you to so much use," she said. "But you had to go and kill our young master."

A large barrier appeared around Pearl and rest, cutting him off from any path of escape. Pearl looked back and saw that the barriers had not included the rooms where Momo and Yuren were staying.

That was one good thing. 'I need to get out of here immediately,' he thought. 'They shouldn't be able to chase me very far away.'

At that very moment, two men dashed out from either side of the woman, charging toward him.

Pearl quickly defended himself against the attacks that came from the two and even managed to land a hit on one of them. While that one was thrown away, he focused his attention on the other one.

The other one was surprised as well. With their cultivation difference, Pearl shouldn't have been able to defend himself, and yet he had. He moved back to think things through and assess the situation with a more critical eye.

But Pearl didn't let him. His body lowered in stance as his spear began spinning with golden energy. As it gathered, the world seemed to shrink around Pearl until the man was no more than a hand's reach before him.

Then he attacked.

Five Heavenly Forms of Spear - Fourth Form: Heaven Revolving Spear Strike.

Like a tidal wave that had come out of nowhere, the attack swept away the man, leaving him in tatters. When the bright golden light vanished, the rest of the people who stood around could see that the man did not have a hole where his chest was before. And even the spot where his dantian was had been torn away by the attack.

Despite being many cultivation realms higher than Pearl, the man had died.

That stunned the group as they focused back on Pearl.

"Be careful, he is hiding his power," the woman said. "Don't bother fighting him one at a time. Everyone, attack him and kill him."

A shower of attacks came for Pearl, and Pearl teleported. He arrived next to one of the men who was the closest to him and attacked. His spear, filled with Spear aura, stabbed the weak man through the skull, spraying his gray matter onto the others that were there.

He hadn't managed to hurt his soul, but his body was unusable now. The soul could only escape away.

This attack had come as a surprise to others as well, as they had been caught off guard again.

Pearl teleported again, arriving next to another weak man. He tried to attack this one too, but he suddenly saw a small illusory golden shield appearing behind one of the men in the distance who had noticed him.

At the same time, the man he was attacking had his body glow bright and Pearl's attack failed to do much harm to him.

Pearl teleported again, both frowning and confused. It took him a bit of a moment to realize that the man had used his Spirit at the last moment to save the other man.

He grunted in frustration, realizing that he was going to have to deal with someone like that. An Immortal Spirit realm cultivator was not someone he could ever hope to beat.

Pearl felt something else attack him at the same time. He noticed something else illusory appearing behind a woman in the back. He tried teleporting, but it didn't help. The attack continued regardless of where he was. The attack only needed to know where he was for it to land on him. It was a bit too strong in that regard. At the last moment, Pearl used the Spirit Reversal technique to defend against it.

He could tell the attack was a Spirit being used on him, and that was what this technique was for. To protect himself from other Spirits, aura, and Creations.

Pearl managed to stop the attack, but that also forced him to constantly use it. He couldn't do much else while he was using the technique. At least not without disrupting it for himself.

Pearl thought of ways to run away, even thinking of using another one of his White Tiger's Blood Essence to defend himself. But that had to be used in the worst-case scenario. He had only used it a decade or so ago.

He couldn't use it again so freely.

With Pearl being forced to defend against the incoming attacks, he couldn't fight back as well. He managed to kill just one more person before he found himself overwhelmed on all sides. The only thing he could do was run away at this point, but that would put the two kids in danger, and he couldn't do that.

Pearl feared there was no other way left for him to get out of this situation but to—

A deafening explosion took away Pearl's thought momentarily as he felt the force of incomparable might whip him around like a twig in a storm. He was pushed away by the force that came.

It wasn't painful, but it was very disorienting.

He wasn't the only one caught in it. Everyone else was as well. And as Pearl slowly got back up, he saw the source of the explosion standing by himself in the distance.

It was Aethersage's disciple, Yuren.
