Chapter 50 Scaring Away a Golden Core Master

Chapter Fifty: Scaring Away a Golden Core Master

Yuan Chen refused to give up the pursuit easily. He put away his longsword early and chased after the enemy to the stairwell with a gloomy face.

Zhuo Yang has disappeared again!

"Damn it, all you can do is run away?" Yuan Chen cursed, gritting his teeth as he went upstairs, feeling like he was about to explode with anger.

This floor is all women's clothing; looking around, you see nothing but women.

Yuan Chen closed his eyes and activated his true essence perception, finally locking onto a special aura amidst the chaotic auras.

"Kid, you can't get away!"

He turned around, jumped onto the escalator, and headed straight for the third floor.

The third floor is the men's clothing department, and there are far fewer customers. There are brand stores, and only sales clerks are standing at the door.

Yuan Chen couldn't find Zhuo Yang, but he noticed something unusual in the eyes of several sales clerks.

"A pretty handsome young man just ran up here, didn't he, beautiful?" he asked a saleswoman provocatively.

The sales clerk's eyes immediately looked confused, and she raised her hand to point to a brand store at the deepest part of the mall.

"Thank you!"

Yuan Chen grinned maliciously and strode away.

The saleswoman's eyes returned to normal. She scratched her head, wondering what had just happened to her. Was she daydreaming?

"Zhuo Yang, you little thief, where do you think you're going to run this time?"

Arriving at the entrance of the innermost brand store, Yuan Chen drew his longsword and growled menacingly.

The sales clerk was so frightened that she turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Yuan Chen chased the sales clerk away, his cold gaze sweeping across the room before settling on the fitting room.

There is only one place where people can hide.

"Aren't you going to come out?"

Yuan Chen walked to the fitting room, and after speaking, he thrust out his sword.

With a thud, the fitting room door was pierced by the longsword and immediately turned into fragments on the ground. The entire door was shattered by the powerful true energy.

However, there was no one inside.

"Where is he?" Yuan Chen was taken aback.

In that instant, a sword light descended from above his head, moving with incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning.

"Bah!"

Yuan Chen roared and swung his sword towards the top of his head.

The sound of metal clashing was like thunder, and a powerful shockwave erupted simultaneously, blowing Yuan Chen close to the ground directly into the corridor outside the store.

Zhuo Yang jumped down from the roof, holding his sword behind his back, his gaze cold and stern.

"Kid, you ambushed me!" Yuan Chen scrambled to his feet, his face full of shock.

He never expected that Zhuo Yang's sword strike would be so powerful, causing him to suffer a hidden loss.

Especially the moment he looked up and saw the sword light, it was as if he was locked in by an incomparably powerful force, making it almost impossible for him to swing his sword to resist.

"You've been hiding your strength all along!" Yuan Chen finally realized, and he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. "Your cultivation is clearly not bad, yet you made me chase you all this way. Why don't you dare to fight me?"

In his view, even if Zhuo Yang was not at the Golden Core stage, he was a master who was about to form a Golden Core, and was capable of confronting him head-on.

Zhuo Yang sneered: "Why should I reveal all my assets?"

Yuan Chen was speechless. Any cultivator with a modicum of sense would hide their cultivation level, fearing that others would discover it and then attack them. Zhuo Yang's actions were perfectly understandable.

"Alright, you're good with words, kid. I can't argue with you." Yuan Chen turned his head indifferently, pointing his longsword at Zhuo Yang. "Since you've already been exposed, how about we have a fair fight?"

"Exactly what I want!"

Zhuo Yang smiled coldly and thrust out his dragon-patterned sword.

The sword strike was so powerful that it seemed as if only the sword existed between heaven and earth. Its immense pressure made it impossible for anyone to even muster the will to resist.

Yuan Chen's eyes widened, and he roared, "Well done!"

As a disciple of the Moyun Sword Sect, meeting a true master of swordsmanship was a blessing he could never have imagined.

Facing Zhuo Yang's sword, he also thrust his sword forward.

The two swords met in mid-air, and the surging true energy formed obvious wave marks.

The next moment, Zhuo Yang sneered: "You've been tricked!"

A large amount of lightning suddenly appeared on the dragon-patterned sword and quickly wrapped around Yuan Chen's sword.

"what!"

Yuan Chen was electrocuted and instinctively let go.

To his utter surprise, Zhuo Yang resorted to underhanded tactics, infuriating him to no end.

Zhuo Yang snatched the sword and immediately threw it like a javelin.

A bolt of lightning flashed by, and Yuan Chen barely managed to dodge it by using all his strength and agility.

The longsword transformed into a streak of cold light, piercing through the entire shopping mall and bursting through the wall...

Yuan Chen was, after all, a master in the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Even without a weapon, he still possessed powerful magical energy.

He pulled out five small jade swords from his pocket, and with a forceful scattering, the five swords seemed to come alive, transforming into five flying swords that pounced towards Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang swung his sword and attacked. After a series of metallic clanging sounds, several broken jade swords lay on the ground.

"Your sword is quite good!"

All five magical jade swords were severed, and Yuan Chen's face twitched with heartache.

He then pulled out a jade pendant from his pocket, held it up in his hand, and said fiercely, "Zhuo Yang, this is what forced me to use my ultimate move!"

Zhuo Yang's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the jade pendant.

Now that things have come to this, we have to fight!

When the true essence is circulated to its extreme, the thunder and fire true essence in the meridians surges like a fierce flood.

Slowly raising his head, his eyes turned bloodshot as the Demon Lord's primordial spirit was released!

"what are you doing?"

Yuan Chen's body stiffened, his face filled with shock.

He had the illusion that he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast, as if the guy in front of him was a prehistoric beast that was about to devour him alive.

"Just how much have you been hiding?!" Yuan Chen was both shocked and angry; his resolve to kill Zhuo Yang had long since crumbled.

Before Zhuo Yang could prepare to unleash his ultimate move, he turned and ran.

Zhuo Yang let out a heavy snort, and then a burst of lightning instantly filled the entire floor space, rushing in like a tsunami, trying to engulf Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen sensed something was wrong, turned his head and was so frightened that he ran away with all his might from the terrifying lightning.

"That kid is at least at the Golden Core stage, and might even have reached the Nascent Soul stage!"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly fled the mall and disappeared into the crowd.

Deep inside the third floor of the mall, the floor was a mess, and half of the brand stores on the floor were affected. Zhuo Yang had to lean on his sword to keep himself from falling.

The power of the Demon Lord's primordial spirit is extremely strong. Even if he only reclaimed a wisp of his primordial spirit, the lightning magic he released could make even a Golden Core stage expert run for their life.

However, the downsides were also significant, as it completely drained Zhuo Yang's true energy. If the enemy were to return now, Zhuo Yang would have no choice but to surrender.

Of course, there were also gains. When he used his primordial spirit to release lightning magic, he gained special insights into lightning magic.

Thunder magic... is essentially electricity!

Simply put, it's a kind of insight that can only be understood intuitively, an understanding of the Way of Heaven, which is what it means to be moved.

In an instant, Zhuo Yang broke through the shackles and advanced to the Heartbeat Stage. His Thunderfire True Essence surged and roared, flowing through his meridians like a mighty river, endless and continuous.

"It feels so good to break through!"

Zhuo Yang smiled. His immediate priority was to find more fragments of the Demon Lord's primordial spirit and make himself stronger.

The next moment his face fell. The police appeared, not only confiscating the dragon-patterned sword but also giving him a pair of silver bracelets. He couldn't even keep his Qiankun bag...

Upon arriving at the police station, Zhuo Yang immediately called Dongfang Jiye to confirm that they had only fainted and then breathed a sigh of relief. The losses caused by the shopping mall were too great, so he let Dongfang Jiye handle it.

Then, Zhuo Yang waited quietly in the interrogation room for his turn. Finally, the door opened, but instead of police officers, two men in black trench coats entered.

"Who are you?" Zhuo Yang looked at them in surprise.

One of them, wearing a black trench coat, stood by the door, while the other walked to the table opposite Zhuo Yang and sat down, a helpless smile on his somewhat lazy face.

"Dude, you've really stirred up a fuss this time!"
