The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217: How long do you intend to hide?

Boom, boom, boom!

The battle among the four Nascent Soul cultivators was truly earth-shattering. The aftermath of their fight alone was enough to alter the landscape. The noise and fury of their battle soon caught the attention of some bandit cultivators in the vicinity.

As word spread, it drew more attention from other wandering bandit cultivators. Their gazes locked onto Shangguan Hao and the others like hyenas watching a group of lions, ready to pounce at any sign of weakness. To these cultivators, Nascent Soul ancestors were usually lofty figures.

Yet, should these elders be gravely injured in battle, they too would face nothing but death if confronted by bandit cultivators.

The bandit cultivators waited patiently. They awaited the fall of the mighty lion so they could swarm and feast on the remains.

Among them, Wan Wuying and his companions, also bandit cultivators, had also noticed the battle among the four Nascent Soul cultivators from a distance. Huang Yuanwu was tempted to join and claim his share of the spoils.

However, Wan Wuying cautioned him, "The strife of Nascent Soul cultivators is not something we can meddle in. If you wish to take a share, first assess if you have the means to do so."

After some deliberation, Huang Yuanwu and Zhao Wuya nodded repeatedly, suppressing their restless thoughts.

Chu Xuan, unlike most bandit cultivators who were drawn close to the Thousand Caverns, kept himself well hidden. He could see that Shangguan Hao was no ordinary cultivator.

Throughout the confrontation, Shangguan Hao had remained silent amidst the Reincarnation Divine Sect cultivators' roars and curses, possibly holding back a trump card—perhaps reinforcements or a strategic formation. Thus, Chu Xuan refrained from indulging in the fantasy that the others might wound each other grievously.

As expected, the fight among the Nascent Souls had barely lasted a moment when an agent from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect, dressed in black, seized an opportunity. With a fierce punch, he penetrated the skull of the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Reincarnation Divine Sect. His Nascent Soul barely escaped the body before the black-clothed man casually captured it and tossed it into a bag.

During the battle, this agent had not revealed his cultivation in bodily refinement. Instead, he struck in an instant when a flaw was exposed, demonstrating admirable judgment and timing.

In the blink of an eye, the situation shifted to two against one, encircling the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Reincarnation Divine Sect.

Shangguan Hao spoke indifferently, "Don't bother trying to send the information out. Around these Thousand Caverns, I've already laid out a formation well in advance. Once inside, no one can leave. As for the transmission jade, it's equally incapable of sending out even the slightest bit of information. Ming Rui, you might as well surrender here!" With that, he took out a formation disk and suddenly activated it.

Ming Rui's gaze sharpened as he immediately surveyed his surroundings. As expected, a protective barrier had risen around the Thousand Caverns.

Sword qi surged endlessly around them, attacking anyone attempting to leave the area. The bandit cultivators showed signs of fear and desperately tried to escape, only to be sliced into countless pieces by the fierce sword qi in an instant.

Chu Xuan noticed the soaring sword qi as well and raised an eyebrow in response. Shangguan Hao had set a deep trap for Ming Rui to fall into, inadvertently ensnaring the marauding bandit cultivators who plagued the vicinity of Heavenly Sword City as well.

Fortunately, Chu Xuan had remained cautious and kept a significant distance from the Thousand Caverns, thus he was outside the range of the formation. A quick glance was enough for him to recognize the formation as one of the Nascent Soul level, with the controlling disk still in Shangguan Hao's hands.

Had he been too greedy and ventured closer, he might have been caught inside the formation. With his current strength, even though he might have been able to break free, it would have forced him to reveal many of his hidden capabilities.

Praising himself for his cautious nature, Chu Xuan continued to watch the unfolding events from beyond the formation.

Meanwhile, the black-clothed man from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect let out a sinister chuckle, "Hehehe, you must be a disciple of True Master Tiancang, right? Today, another one dies by my hand."

Ming Rui's pupils contracted, "Senior Brother Yun Zhongyu was killed by you?"
