Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 43

The two men had see-through bodies. In the area where the dantian would be, which would be a few inches below the belly button, was a light hazy fog the size of a fist swirling mysteriously. The fog contains specks of lights that shined like stars.

Ji Xian immediately noticed that the one standing to the right, with the short, spiky hair, had a smaller size fog and fewer specks of lights compared to the one standing to the left.

While their bodies were translucent, their figure are outlined and their frame was defined, so they were still quite visible. The same can be said for their facial features, so it still allowed for one to read their expression.

After the duo emerged from the chaos tunnel, the spiky-haired man looked around, seemingly in search of something. With the size of the platform they were on, it only took him a glance to scan the area.

After taking a look around and not finding anything out of the ordinary, he said, Yazhu, whats going on? The security measure we left behind was broken, yet theres nothing here.

Standing a hundred feet away from the duo was Ji Xian, He was calmly observing the two beings with a smile. After hearing the voice of the spiky-haired man, he couldnt help but lift an eyebrow.

The voice contained something unique, a special quality to it, although the man spoke quietly, Ji Xian felt a mild discomfort upon hearing it and couldnt quite explain the feeling, but overall it was negligible and didnt affect him.

Oh? Ji Xian switched his focus to the one standing to the left after noticing something.

Interesting...

Seeing that he didnt get any reply, the spiky-haired man turned to ask, What is it?

The one with his hair tied up, named Yazhu, remained silent and instead was focused on one particular direction with some uncertainty.

Without any warning, a pulse that looked like a halo burst out from his body. It expanded around him in an instant, engulfing the entire platform. As it neared the formation, the pulse passed through it, meeting no obstruction, and appeared outside in the ocean.

It passed through a few sea beasts that were swimming within the vicinity. The sea beasts that were hit with the pulse shook, becoming briefly stunned before swimming away in a hurry.

-

Outside the formation, away from the range of the pulse, were Xia Lihua and Xiao Yueyin, who immediately noticed this.

Thats..!

Oh..no, theyre here! Xiao Yueyin exclaimed.

What was that? Xia Lihua turned and asked, unsure of what she just saw.

With a frown, Xiao Yueyin said, If Im not mistaken, thats a soul pulse. Its similar to our spiritual sense, except its more specialized. It can sense souls. Ive only read about it in the books back at the Arcane Mountain, I never thought there will be a day Ill see it in person.

A soul pulse can only mean one thing, Ji Xian mustve been discovered. We need to find a way to get in there and help him!

Seeing Xiao Yueyin slowly losing her composure, Xia Lihua shook her head and said confidently, Thats not necessary, its not him you should worry about.

-

After the first pulse, another four pulses burst out from Yazhu while the spiky-haired man looked on with confusion.

Feeling as though he mightve missed something, he also used his soul pulse to search the area but he failed to find anything.

After a few minutes, Yazhu finally opened his mouth, I know youre here so why bother hiding, human?

His gaze was focused on one area, and that area was where Ji Xian was standing!

Noticing the silence, he sneered and held out his hand. A weapon that look similar to a sickle suddenly appeared and he held it in his grip.

The sickle had a handle that was approximately a meter long and looks to be made from some sort of wood. A long curved blade that was completely black was attached to it, glowing with an eerie green light.

Let's see how long you can hide.

He waved his hand, sending out a light foggy beam at lightning speed. It warped the space and disappeared into it almost immediately the moment it appeared. A weird uncomfortable noise sounded out from the void and it reverberated through the area.

The next moment, the beam appeared once more and struck out at the spot where Ji Xian was standing. Surprisingly, the attack didnt hit anything causing Yazhu to frown.

The beam didnt stop and It continued to fly, passing through the formation and appearing outside in the ocean. The weird sound follows it as well, stunning the sea beasts in the surrounding when they hear it, some even instantly flopped over, dead. Finally, the beam struck an innocent sea beast.

The sea beast shuddered and the light in its eyes fade before becoming motionless. No signs of life can be felt from it.

Upon seeing his attack missed, Yazhu looked hesitant, Was I mistaken?

Turning towards the spiky-haired man, he asked, Yahui, did you sense anything?

The one named Yahui shook his head and just as he opened his mouth preparing to speak, he noticed Yazhus sudden change in facial expression.

Yazhu swiftly turned around and he also subconsciously turned as well.

His eyes widened in shock.

Just ten feet away from them, was a man with a lean figure wearing a black robe floating three feet in the air, his long black hair was brushed forward in a strange style, covering his eyes, and combined with the veil covering his face, he looked haunting.

Seeing this person, Yazhu instantly became serious. The man in front of them didnt emit any aura and seemingly appeared out of thin air without him even noticing, causing him to be vigilant. Theres also the fact that this person was just ten feet away. To Holy realm cultivators, the speed to travel ten feet is close to instantaneous. It was a very dangerous distance and no one in their right mind would allow an enemy to be this close to them.

Who are you? Yazhu asked cautiously.

A tourist.

Ji Xian casually smiled, his eyes sparkling with delight like a kid who just found something new to play with.

Say your bodies are quite fascinating. Is it tangible, I wonder?

Yazhu and Yahui were stunned, as they process how to answer the question, Ji Xian suddenly appeared before Yazhu, and before he can even react, a silver flash was thrust into his chest.

Ji Xian held an ordinary sword by the handle. When he struck out, there was no obstruction whatsoever, it was just like stabbing the air.

Huh, so physical attack doesnt work. Not surprising, I guess.

Ji Xian sent out a few more stabs in different areas like the head, arm, neck, and even the area between the leg. None of which did anything.

It was only then that Yazhu realized what happened. He roared in anger, feeling humiliated as he saw the sword pierce his private area, although he was unaffected, he still felt degraded.

He slashed out at Ji Xian with the sickle in hand!

Yahui also reacted as well, he held a sword with a wooden handle and a black blade and slashed vertically from top to bottom.

The uncomfortable sound rang out once more followed by a huge explosion!

Inside the formation, the area became clouded by dust caused by the duos attack. A huge crater had appeared and numerous snake-like cracks emerged, stretching to every corner of the platform.

The fact that the platform wasnt immediately destroyed after taking two attacks from two peak Holy realm experts was a statement in itself that the material it was made from was far from ordinary.

Yazhu and Yahui remained vigilant and kept their guard up while continuously using their soul pulse.

Why cant we find him!? Yahui exclaimed.

This was the first time he met someone that can elude his soul pulse.

Yazhu also didnt understand, he glanced at his brother and said, Dont change your form.

Yahui nodded, I know

Just as he was speaking, he noticed a blade sticking out of his stomach. This time, the blade was infused with a small amount of True Essence, causing him to feel a bit of discomfort.

He turned and looked behind him with wide eyes, only to see Ji Xian standing there like a ghost with a sword in hand.

Yahui tightened the grip on his sword while his mouth twitched with anger.

Son of a...

Stop.. appearing behind us!!
