Their eyes met.
Both were stunned.
Guo Feilong was surprised because he hadn't expected that someone could so quickly create an opening in the defensive formation he had set up.
The opponent's skill in formations was undoubtedly at the threshold of a Grandmaster Formation Master.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to break through so swiftly.
Wei Wuya, a mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator, was surprised because he hadn't expected to encounter anyone at this time and place.
Moreover, he had seen portraits of Guo Feilong, the high-level alchemist of the Spirit Creek Sect.
To run into his target right after entering—who wouldn't be surprised?
"Ha ha ha, I thought capturing you would be a challenge, but here you are," Wei Wuya laughed, raising his hand to grab at Guo Feilong from twenty meters away.
Wei Wuya, a Golden Elixir disciple of the Nine Yin Sect, specialized in ghost and spirit manipulation, with yin-attributed mystic power.
As he made a grasping motion, a massive black hand of mystic power materialized, reaching for Guo Feilong.
In Wei Wuya's mind, dealing with a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was as easy as an adult catching a newborn baby, with no resistance possible.
However, he hadn't anticipated that Guo Feilong's skin would glow with a golden light. Raising his hand, Guo Feilong swung a palm at the incoming black hand.
Bang!
The collision of the two palms produced a deafening sound.
Guo Feilong was pushed back dozens of meters by the black hand of mystic power.
The opponent was a mid-Golden Elixir stage cultivator, while he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
The gap between them was more than an entire major stage.
Being pushed back dozens of meters was normal.
If not for his Golden Body Technique, making his body as tough as a medium-quality sacred treasure, that slap would have easily captured any Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Even a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator at Great Perfection wouldn't stand a chance.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
The gap between cultivation stages was like an insurmountable chasm.
Moreover, the opponent was not just at the early Golden Elixir stage but at the mid-stage, with twice the mystic power.
"You've trained your body to the level of a sacred treasure," Wei Wuya remarked in surprise, muttering to himself, "The information I received might have mentioned this. It seems capturing you will require some effort."
As he spoke, Wei Wuya's body emitted a cold, dark aura, transforming into a demon-like form.
In this form, his body was covered in silver scales, and his head was bald with silver scales.
His hands turned into talon-like claws, with sharp nails akin to red knives, terrifying to behold.
He had a pair of wings covered in silver scales, and his mouth protruded like a wolf's, filled with interlocking fangs.
His eyes glowed crimson, enough to scare any timid ordinary person to death on the spot.
Swish!
Wei Wuya's figure flashed, moving as fast as lightning, appearing directly in front of Guo Feilong and punching at his chest.
Guo Feilong, considering himself a Grandmaster in martial arts, raised a hand to block the punch.
An ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would have been shattered to pieces by such a punch from a demon-transformed Golden Elixir stage cultivator.
But Guo Feilong's body, at this moment, was as hard as a medium-quality sacred treasure.
And Wei Wuya, in his demon form, had a body equally tough.
Thus, Guo Feilong could block the punch without suffering any damage.
However, Wei Wuya, being a mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator, had a strength in his punches that Guo Feilong couldn't match.
After taking the punch, Guo Feilong was sent flying like a sandstorm, his mystic power slightly depleted.
"I advise you to surrender immediately and spare me the trouble," Wei Wuya said. "Otherwise, when your mystic power can no longer sustain your sacred treasure-like body, I have a hundred ways to torment you."
As Guo Feilong retreated quickly into the Guo family's Heavenly Abode, he replied, "You sure talk a lot."
With that, he threw a talisman that transformed into a fiery serpent, charging at Wei Wuya.
Bang!
Wei Wuya casually slapped the fiery serpent, shattering it into countless fiery sparks.
Such was the power of a Golden Elixir stage cultivator—terrifyingly strong.
Of course, Wei Wuya could easily shatter a fiery serpent equivalent to a full-power strike from a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
This was because Guo Feilong hadn't infused it with auspicious clouds.
Otherwise, the talisman's power could have been elevated to match a normal strike from an early Golden Elixir stage cultivator.
But a normal spell attack from an early Golden Elixir stage cultivator was useless against a demon-transformed Wei Wuya, whose body was as tough as a sacred treasure.
Mid-Foundation Establishment stage spell talismans couldn't harm Wei Wuya, but they could slightly slow his advance.
Guo Feilong threw talismans like they cost nothing, aiming to retreat into the Guo family's Heavenly Abode as quickly as possible.
He planned, "Once I deal with this mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator, I'll set up formations at the entrance of this Heavenly Abode to avoid being so passive next time."
In an instant, both of them dashed out of the passage and entered the Guo family's Heavenly Abode.
Without a word, Guo Feilong infused his formation disk with mystic power.
Buzz!
The entire Heavenly Abode trembled slightly.
In the next moment, the formation Guo Feilong had set up activated.
Not to mention mid-Golden Elixir stage cultivators—even Elemental Infant stage cultivators would struggle to leave unscathed once the formation was activated.
Golden Elixir stage cultivators in this formation were doomed.
"Roar!"
A white tiger, formed from the power of the formation, appeared between Guo Feilong and Wei Wuya.
The aura of this formation-created white tiger was comparable to an early Golden Elixir stage.
"Is a formation-created Golden Elixir stage tiger your trump card?" Wei Wuya charged at the tiger, engaging it in battle.
The formation-created tiger, equivalent to a normal early Golden Elixir stage, was quickly shattered by Wei Wuya, who was at the mid-Golden Elixir stage.
"Husband, let me help you," came a voice as Wu Yumeng, at the early Golden Elixir stage, flew over.
With the formation token of the Heavenly Abode, she moved unimpeded through the formation and quickly reached Guo Feilong's side.
The activation of the Heavenly Abode's formation was sensed not only by Wu Yumeng but by all cultivators present.
"A Golden Elixir stage cultivator in this Heavenly Abode," Wei Wuya frowned slightly, but relaxed upon sensing Wu Yumeng's early Golden Elixir stage aura.
In a one-on-one, a mid-Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator could easily kill a normal early Golden Elixir stage cultivator. Without special means, an early Golden Elixir stage cultivator couldn't even escape.
"I'll deal with you, an early Golden Elixir stage cultivator, first, then capture him," Wei Wuya said, flashing towards Wu Yumeng.
Wu Yumeng was about to summon her flying sword when Guo Feilong placed a confident hand on hers, saying, "No need to act. The formation can easily kill him."
In the next moment, the formation's power condensed ten white tiger shadows, each at the early Golden Elixir stage, in front of them.
