Chapter 1162 - Chaos
From the start, the guard never considered Liu Wuxie and He Yingwu a threat.
However, the sudden attack caught him entirely off guard, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late. A fierce blade aura tore through the astral wind and slashed toward him with unstoppable force.
He raised his sword in a desperate attempt to block, relying on his advantage as a sixth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator.
The instant the Heretic Blade met his sword, however, his expression changed. In that brief moment, he realized that he had gravely underestimated Liu Wuxie's combat strength and the terrifying quality of the Heretic Blade.
With a sharp crack, the sword in his hand shattered into a spray of fragments. The blade aura did not slow; it continued its descent, cleaving through his neck in a clean, merciless stroke. Blood sprayed into the air as his body collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
One strike had ended him. Few believed someone at the sixth-level Heaven Profound Realm could decisively slay a sixth-level Transcendent Realm expert.
He Yingwu stood frozen in shock. He had always known Liu Wuxie was strong, but this display proved that his strength was already comparable to the higher levels of the Transcendent Realm in both true essence and mastery of laws.
"We're going to the warehouse," Liu Wuxie said calmly, stripping the guard's body of energy and laws as it shriveled into a pile of skin.
They took the key and the interspatial ring, moving without hurry toward the warehouse where they stored the raw stones.
Yu Wentai usually sent men each month to collect the stones, but with the beast horde approaching, no one had been coming here. As a result, nearly ten thousand raw stones filled the building.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Wuxie swept them all into his ring. Once cut, they would yield over a hundred thousand astral stones, a fortune even in the Astral Domain.
With their spoils secured, the two left for the surface. The beast horde was about to begin.
