Banshee Family Training Record

As he spoke, he stepped forward, carrying his machete. Gongsun Yong's eyes gleamed with satisfaction; he looked at the two men before him as if they were already dead.

Over here, Yun Chu'an activated his internal energy and leaped backward. Bright electric light also appeared on his body, and his hair stood on end.

He glanced at the three people in front of him using his Qi Observation Technique and discovered that the one who had just ambushed him, the one who was killed by Hua Caiyan after the ambush failed, and the one who was now poisoned were all at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The one in the middle, dressed in black and still in good condition, was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Clearly, Hua Caiyan had also recognized his extraordinary abilities, which was why she didn't ambush him but chose to target the weakest link first.

He stared coldly at the three people in front of him, and they stared back at him. The man in the middle couldn't help but speak up, "Looks like they're tough guys. No wonder. Heh, that's right. Without some skills, it's not good to walk around in these mountains."

Yun Chu'an asked in a deep voice, "May I ask who you are? I, Yun, do not think I have offended anyone. I don't know why I have brought this deadly disaster upon myself?"

The tallest man in black, who was leading the group, grinned and said, "You haven't offended us, but a commoner is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Since you've earned so many spirit stones, our Yellow Python Clan will definitely get a share!"

He said this, but Yun Chu'an did not believe him at all.

Listening to his bluffing, he rolled his eyes and already had a guess.

"You are from the Gongsun family, aren't you?" he suddenly asked, and the three people in front of him visibly paused in their breathing.

Then, the cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining roared, "What are you waiting for? Attack!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them charged forward, wanting to take him down first.

But then, a flash of light appeared in the shadows, and all three of them paled, scrambling to dodge. Almost simultaneously, a throwing knife suddenly struck, embedding itself in a nearby tree trunk without releasing any force.

That was another strike from Hua Caiyan. She missed this strike, but the intimidating power it brought made the three of them break out in a cold sweat. With someone lurking in the shadows, they simply couldn't fight with their full strength!

I'm afraid only the one at the ninth level of Qi Refining has any confidence; the other two are both injured!

Yun Chu'an looked at the three people in front of him, his heart filled with excitement. After so long, his cultivation had finally caught up with Hua Caiyan, and he was now at the same level as her, not to mention he had a brand new and powerful cultivation technique.

Chapter 215 Facing the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Yun Chuan is also looking forward to testing the limits of his combat power, to see how far he can go, and whether he can take on three people in front of him, including an enemy at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

He was lost in thought when he heard a male voice behind him say, "You all, step back."

Then, a burly man, also dressed in black and carrying a large sword, walked out from behind at a leisurely pace. He concealed his spiritual power, but Yun Chu'an, who had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, could still see through his cultivation level with just a glance.

His expression changed drastically immediately.

Foundation building period!

That is an existence that has cultivated everything in the Qi Refining stage to its peak, with no room for further advancement, thus undergoing a qualitative change from the most fundamental level, stepping onto a completely new stage, and entering a completely new world!

This transformative change is something that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage simply cannot comprehend. Foundation Establishment cultivators looking back at their Qi Refining selves are like Qi Refining cultivators looking at ordinary mortals with no cultivation whatsoever!

They wouldn't think there was anything to be wary of about these guys who were a whole realm lower than them; they would only think how naive they had been back then, and how absurd and ridiculous many of their ideas about the Foundation Establishment stage were!

The difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining is so vast that when Gongsun Chong appeared here, the three assassins dressed in black had already tacitly accepted their victory.

In their view, even if the one who died were to be resurrected on the spot, and they joined forces with Yun Chu'an, the six of them together would not have any chance of winning!

Even at this moment, the leader, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, felt no relief, but rather a sense of shame: "Sir, why did you have to personally intervene? We could have handled this guy!"

If he can't even kill an enemy of lower rank than himself, what face does he have to continue being a ruthless bandit?

Gongsun Chong's face was covered, so no one could see his expression: "Yes, you can handle it, but what's the price? Do you expect me to just watch one or two more of you die from that woman's sneak attack?"

The man was speechless for a moment, then heard Gongsun Chong shout angrily, "Useless trash, get out of here! Go find that woman who's hiding and capture her!"

The assassin, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was filled with grief and indignation, but dared not refute. He lowered his head and retreated, leaving only Yun Chuan and Gongsun Chong in the woods, facing each other from afar.

However, this standoff was completely unfair. One of them was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the other was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Let alone the eighth level of Qi Refining, even the ninth level of Qi Refining would not be much more threatening to the former than a child!

Gongsun Chong didn't think the person in front of him could pose any threat. He was quite leisurely and walked forward slowly, even having the mood to comment on Yun Chuan: "I must say, your cultivation is indeed quite good. You have keen senses and quick reactions, and you were able to detect their ambush and counterattack in time."

“Your lightning is powerful enough. If it weren’t for the fact that Guan Dao’s swordsmanship is so crude, it wouldn’t be impossible for one of them to die and the other to be injured on the spot.”

As he spoke, he took another step. His aura was building up, and this step seemed to step on Yun Chu'an's heart, making his heart almost stop beating: "A Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator can injure a Level 9 cultivator, and even once gained the upper hand on the field. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely take you under my command and carefully cultivate you."

"Unfortunately, today you will surely lose your life here—"

As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his cleaver upwards. Although he was still walking, he was in front of Yun Chuan in the blink of an eye. The cleaver was flicked from under Yun Chuan's crotch, as if he wanted to split him in two from bottom to top!

Yun Chu'an suddenly felt his hair stand on end. He had been completely focused on circulating his internal energy, but upon seeing the commotion, he immediately disregarded everything and dashed to the side—

brush--

His body made almost no rolling, jumping, or dodging movements; he moved to the side as if shifting horizontally, leaving behind an afterimage that was exactly the same as his own.

Gongsun Zhong raised his cleaver, cleaving his afterimage in two. Immediately afterward, the endless lightning remaining in that afterimage erupted, traveling along the cleaver to his body, instantly numbing him!

"snort--!"

He snorted coldly, turned to look at Yun Chu'an, his face showing surprise, and surprisingly, he was not in a hurry to make another move.

Yun Chu'an leaped backward, creating distance. His face was deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, and he was panting heavily.

That was incredibly close! If his reaction had been even a fraction slower, he would have been dead on the spot!

From afar, it seemed that Yan Shuiyi could slaughter opponents in the Foundation Establishment stage with ease, killing them one by one as easily as killing chicks.

When it was his turn to take action and face the opponent personally, he felt the pressure from the other party was as immense as a mountain.

That was an almost complete and utter crushing defeat of himself!

"Wow, not bad."

His planned strike missed, and he was even electrocuted, leaving him numb and tingling all over. But Gongsun Zhong was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "That move is really good. If you could become my subordinate, I might humbly learn from you and ask you to teach me this move."

"pity……"

He shook his head and sighed, slowly placing his hand on his chest and pinching something that looked like a name tag through his clothes.

hum-

An invisible surge of spiritual energy enveloped his entire body, forming a protective barrier.

Gongsun Chong looked up and stared at Yun Chu'an again: "If I activate my defensive magic weapon, what will you do then?"

Yun Chu'an remained silent, while the man chuckled softly: "You weak, pathetic creature. A Foundation Establishment cultivator is not just someone whose cultivation level is Foundation Establishment. My weapons, my magic treasures, and my protective spells are all prepared for Foundation Establishment enemies—even if I stand here and let you hit me, you mere Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, can you break through my defenses?"

He grinned, unhurriedly continuing to step forward: "Not to mention, my strength is considered top-notch among Foundation Establishment cultivators. Countless fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators have met their end under my greatsword. Your resistance is even more laughable than a mouse cornered by a cat!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward, raised his knife, and the sharp blade, carrying an unparalleled power, slashed head-on at Yun Chu'an!

He no longer wanted to play games; all he wanted to do was crush his target with his overwhelming strength, in terms of power, speed, and defense!

Yun Chu'an's heart pounded like thunder. When he saw him coming, his pupils immediately shrank to the size of pinholes.

Admittedly, as Gongsun Zhong said, his strength completely overwhelmed Yun Chu'an, but this does not mean that Yun Chu'an had no chance of winning!

In his left hand, he already held his highest quality Vajra Talisman, and without hesitation, he immediately crushed it!

His body suddenly became indestructible, standing still in place. Gongsun Zhong rushed in front of him, but stopped abruptly just before striking, sheathed his sword, turned around and kicked him in the chest, using his thigh to send him flying!

"snort--!"

Yun Chu'an's indestructible body flew backward, crashing through several large trees. Then the talisman lost its effect, and he reverted to his original form, falling uncontrollably to the ground. He then saw Gongsun Chong leap up, his large cleaver slashing down at him: "Don't think I'll fall for your tricks!"

He was a veteran of countless battles, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators had died at his hands. He had seen through the trick of the Vajra Talisman after only one glance. Not to mention that his cultivation was higher, and his speed, reaction and change of moves were even faster. He could completely break through the Vajra Talisman's counterattack!

This sudden change of tactics caught Yun Chu'an off guard, and what followed was his real killing move!

Yun Chu'an's pupils constricted, his heart stopped, and in this life-or-death moment, he could only grip the long sword in his hand tightly!

Chapter 216 The Ultimate Thunder

He can't rely on anyone now; he can only rely on himself!

With a desperate surge of energy, Yun Chu'an pushed his cultivation technique to its limit. Golden lightning burst forth from his body, its radiance almost surpassing that of the sun!

Just as Gongsun Chong was about to be beheaded, his expression suddenly changed drastically. The unparalleled golden divine lightning made him feel a deadly threat. His instinct for death made him dare not fight it head-on. He used his strength in mid-air to turn around and land back where he started!

This dangerous intuition saved his life once again, but only temporarily. Where Yun Chu'an had just been lying, a golden figure was slowly rising!

That was Yun Chu'an. Golden lightning formed a semi-transparent skeleton around him, more than three meters tall, like armor, completely enveloping him.

He held a massive guandao (a type of halberd) in his hand, its golden lightning making him appear almost divine. He kept chanting incantations, spells inherent in his cultivation technique, specifically designed for military campaigns and warfare:

"The Divine Firmament Thunder Palace commands all thunderbolts, sweeping away filth and cleansing away all evil!"

He suddenly looked up and opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and fixed on Gongsun Zhong, instantly making the latter's hair stand on end.

He came to hunt down Yun Chu'an, but at this moment, the relationship between hunter and prey seems to have been reversed!

What a joke!

How could I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, have my life threatened by this guy who's only at the eighth level of Qi Refining?!

The moment this sense of danger arose, a tremendous sense of absurdity and shame welled up in Gongsun Chong's heart, instantly turning his eyes red.

Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators have died at his hands. As the executioner of the family, he believes he has no rivals among his peers and no one can defeat him!

How could he possibly be challenged by a cultivator whose cultivation level is lower than his own?

"court death!"

With a sinister grin, he gripped the machete tightly with both hands, channeling his spiritual energy to its maximum as he charged straight forward: "Today I'll show you just how insurmountable the gap is between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage!"

He charged forward, his heavy footsteps leaving a deep chasm behind him. Yun Chu'an followed suit, his golden lightning-infused exoskeleton armor illuminating the entire forest. The three-meter-tall giant charged, his boundless power causing the towering trees on both sides to fight, falling one by one to the ground!

No sooner said than done, in the blink of an eye, the two had already clashed. Yun Chu'an swung his Guan Dao, and with the added boost of lightning, his speed actually matched that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, colliding head-on with Gongsun Zhong's blade—

clang--

A piercing sound capable of tearing one's mind apart rang out, and the shockwave from the collision snapped towering trees within a radius of dozens of meters in half. The immense power dissipated, and then, Gongsun Chong actually took a half-step back!

The terrifying lightning pierced through his protective magic treasure, numbing his muscles and bones and making his eyes widen like copper bells, unable to believe his own feelings!

How can it be? !

You, a mere eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, dare to clash with me!

And I lost?!

He opened his mouth as if to chant something, to utter some incantation, but the lightning penetrated his body, shocking his lungs and internal organs, so that all he could do after opening his mouth was to cough violently!

"Cough-cough-!"

The violent cough almost broke his own ribs. Knowing that the longer he stayed in contact with Yun Chuan, the more electric shocks he would get, he dared not delay. He had no choice but to jump back and try to create distance!

He not only lost the fight, but now he's run away!

"what--!"

Compared to his disheveled state, Yun Chu'an was extremely exhilarated at this moment. The sun was shining brightly, and with his long, black hair turned away from the golden sun, the boundless, powerful, and yang energy of the sun poured into his body, making him feel indescribably refreshed and full of inexhaustible strength!

Ignoring the enormous consumption, he pushed the "Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Technique" to its maximum, to its limit, unleashing the golden thunderous power that could repel even enemies a whole realm higher than himself!

"Trying to run away?!"

Seeing Gongsun Chong retreat, Yun Chuan sneered and rode the lightning to give chase!

"you--"

The word "escape" pierced Gongsun Zhong's nerves, turning his eyes bloodshot and causing his emotions to surge uncontrollably: "I will kill you, take this!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly twisted his waist and spun around as if dancing, causing his cleaver to spin. With a flip, he dodged Yun Chuan's cleaver!

He's not some reckless brute who only knows how to fight head-on; otherwise, he would never have survived this long, having lived a life of constant danger!

He had completely abandoned his arrogance and was now hunting down Yun Chu'an as a true Foundation Establishment stage enemy. After turning the tables, he immediately circled behind Yun Chu'an, swung his sword horizontally, pierced through the enormous aura, and slashed at Yun Chu'an's waist!

Even if you have some unorthodox methods, you can only suffer defeat in the face of my rich combat experience!

Gongsun Chong, his eyes red, endured the lightning from Weiling, his mind nearly driven mad. However, just as his blade touched Yun Chu'an's waist, the latter's body suddenly became indestructible!

He still has the Vajra Talisman, which can block attacks from Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

clang--!

Gongsun Zhong's painstakingly planned attack not only failed to achieve any effect, but also brought a huge backlash that shattered and dispersed his spiritual energy, leaving him wide open and defenseless!

"Varied--!"

His eyes widened, and he cried out in regret, annoyed that he had forgotten he had this trick up his sleeve.

But now, it's all over. The enormous spirit immediately turned around, and Yun Chu'an's halberd slashed down, aiming straight for Gongsun Zhong's chest!

This time, the bandit's pride and joy—his cultivation, magical artifacts, and protective spells—failed to offer him any protection. The blade of the guan dao instantly pierced his chest cavity, and endless lightning surged in, instantly destroying his internal organs, turning them into charred remains without a trace!

"Well--!"
