Cultivation Begins From The Desert Chapter 596 - 581: Surprise or Not, Unexpected? 【3 more upda

"Three Talents Immortal Slaying Sword Array" is a joint sword array technique of the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect. It can rge the strength of three sword cultivators into one, unleashing an attack power far beyond that of a single cultivator.

At this mont, the golden-red-blue three-colored sword light, gathered from three Golden Core Stage sword cultivators, pierced through the sky. Instantly, Zhouyang’s body surges with goosebumps as his powerful physique sensed danger and issued an alert.

A shout!

He uttered a low shout and lifted his hand to point at the "Flaming Dragon Shield" in front of him. The shield, shaped like dragon scales, suddenly enlarged several tis, completely shielding him.

Simultaneously, a flash of cyan-golden spiritual light covered his body, abruptly revealing a layer of cyan-golden dragon scales exuding a tallic sheen.

A mont later, with a "clang" that resonated aloud, the shield shaped like dragon scales was directly struck by the three-colored magic sword and flew out while the sword light paused slightly, then continued to slash at Zhouyang, who was completely defenseless.

Zhouyang swung his fists, smashing his fist covered with tiny dragon scales fiercely onto the sword light.

In an instant, those tiny dragon scales on his fists flew off, his ten fingers were directly cut off by the sword light, crushed into bone powder mingling with blood and mud, instantly becoming of soone with broken hands.

However, the three-colored magic sword under his punches directly exhausted its power and returned to its original three different attribute flying swords, wailing as they flew back to their respective owners.

Hmm!

Not far away, the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect groaned simultaneously, their faces suddenly paled, and streams of fresh blood began to seep from the corners of their mouths.

It was because their lifebound flying swords, connected to their lives, encountered a heavy blow and suffered so internal injuries.

This is the dilemma for sword cultivators.

Using flying swords as lifebound spiritual artifacts, they can erupt with powerful offensive strength but also place their lives in danger.

If the lifebound flying sword is damaged, they imdiately suffer collateral damage and get injured.

If the lifebound flying sword is broken or destroyed, even if they don’t fall on the spot, they would be heavily injured, losing the power to continue fighting.

Fortunately, these three originate from such major sects like the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect. The materials used to refine the lifebound flying sword are extrely rare, unless they provoke a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator or soone of equivalent level, there’s no need to worry about their lifebound flying sword being destroyed.

"A powerful physique! Didn’t expect this person to be a deeply hidden high-tier Body Cultivator. Our intelligence is incorrect; we need to reevaluate this person’s true strength!"

The leading sword cultivator deeply looked at the figure covered in cyan-golden dragon scales in the distance, his eyes flashed with deep apprehension.

A powerful Body Cultivator is precisely the nesis of such sword cultivators.

If they can’t kill such physically powerful Body Cultivators with one blow, sword cultivators who focus on offense and lack defensive asures are easily counterattacked by enemies.

The life-and-death duel between sword cultivators and Body Cultivators is either the Body Cultivator dies or the sword cultivator’s sword breaks and dies; a third situation rarely appears.

"In this case, we can’t let him go! The Body Cultivator must die!"

The Golden Core Stage sword cultivator from the fifth layer similarly fixed his gaze on Zhouyang, spoke his opinion with viciousness in his voice.

"Kill him!"

The weakest Golden Core Stage sword cultivator from the third layer similarly expressed his thoughts succinctly.

Upon hearing his two fellow disciples’ words, the leading sword cultivator’s complexion instantly condensed, then he let out a long breath and said: "Alright, since both junior brothers say so, let’s use that move!"

After saying this, he beckoned his golden flying sword into his hand, then lightly flicked the sword body, and uttered in a low voice: "I’ll go first!"

Before the words fell, his palm had already gripped the sword body, allowing the sharp blade to cut through his palm, saring his own blood onto the sword’s body.

Then he muttered incantations and cast sword techniques onto the flying sword. The blood sared on the sword’s body instantly transford into blood-colored runes, deeply engraved onto the sword.

From afar, Zhouyang saw the action of the leading sword cultivator, and his face suddenly changed, realizing sothing.

Then he glanced at the Golden Core Stage cultivator from An Country being besieged by his several magical artifacts, his expression turned fierce, as if he didn’t see the three sword cultivators, he urged his mind, and spat out a faint golden treasure pearl.

This faint golden treasure pearl was naturally not the "Qianyang Treasure Pearl," but the "Soul Capturing Treasure Pearl" artifact that he had rarely used after mastering the "Silent Extinction Soul-Burning Divine Light."

The treasure pearl flew from his mouth, spun around, and shot out a golden light towards the Golden Core Stage cultivator from An Country.

At the sa ti, with a "clang," the sound of a gong rang out, as Zhouyang struck the previously summoned "Heaven-shaking Copper Gong" once more.

As the gong sounded, that Golden Core Stage Cultivator of An Country imdiately felt a rush of heat through his blood, inevitably affected, and was no longer able to evade the incoming "Soul-Devouring Golden Light."

Having been hit by the "Soul-Devouring Golden Light," this person was as good as dead.

He was quickly slain when the "Taiyin Soul-cutting Saber" broke through his defenses with one slash.

But with this, the leading Sword Cultivator from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect also completed the secret technique.

He ford a Dharma Seal with his hands and uttered a low shout. The Rune Blood Sword in front of him, covered with countless blood-red runes, let out a mournful whistle and flew towards Zhouyang in an instant.

Boom!

Golden flas surged from in front of Zhouyang, quickly forming a Golden Fla Shield that protected him within.

However, this ti, the "Qianyang Celestial Fire Shield," known for its strong defense, was imdiately broken through by the Rune Blood Sword, which then continued with unstoppable montum, fiercely striking Zhouyang’s raised arms.

Mmmph.

A muffled groan filled with pain sounded from Zhouyang’s mouth, and blood gushed like a fountain from his arms, which were suddenly severed and spewed large streams of crimson blood.

Moreover, the tip of the Rune Blood Sword pierced deeply into his chest, with half the blade completely embedded!

Fortunately, it was his right chest, not where the heart is located.

"Ha!"

With a ferocious shout, Zhouyang pushed his body forward, forcibly driving the sword embedded in him out. It quickly transford into a streak of Sword Light and flew back to its owner.

His figure moved swiftly as he retracted various Magical Artifacts and retreated back towards Chongxuan Mountain, showing no intention of staying for revenge.

"Leave your life!"

"Where do you think you’re going!"

The remaining two Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect shouted angrily, and a red and a green streak of Sword Light swiftly pursued the heavily injured Zhouyang to kill him.

This ti, without the protection of the Flaming Dragon Shield and other Defensive Spiritual Artifacts, Zhouyang was quickly covered in blood, his dragon scales flying under their Sword Light attacks.

But just when they thought they could take down Zhouyang, a blue lotus flower suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Zhouyang, while a green Spiritual Light filled with Vitality swiftly followed, healing his bloody wounds at a rapid pace.

Although the two Sword Lights soon shattered the blue lotus flower, Zhouyang was aided by this help and quickly let out a long roar, crashing into the five-colored clouds on Chongxuan Mountain, disappearing completely from their sight.

"Damn! I didn’t expect him to escape!"

Seeing this scene, the two Sword Cultivators from Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect trembled all over, seething with rage.

On the contrary, the leading Sword Cultivator, who had severely wounded Zhouyang with one strike, was not very angry, as if he had anticipated this result.

At this mont, he imdiately said to the two furious junior brothers, "Even though he escaped, he’s badly injured, and it will be difficult for him to recover in a short ti. Quickly attack the Grand Array together; once it’s broken, if he tries to escape again, he will have to see if our swords will allow it!"

Hearing this, the two Sword Cultivators glanced at the leading Sword Cultivator, whose pallor had waned from using the Secret Sword Skill, straightened up after paying a deep bow, and responded in unison, "Senior Brother is absolutely right. Please rest and recuperate while we break the array and slay the enemies."

With that, the two Sword Cultivators imdiately gathered the An Country Golden Core Cultivators, who had been taking turns resting, along with other resting cultivators, and launched a final, fierce assault on the Mountain Protection Array of Chongxuan Mountain.

The previous three Sword Cultivators did not join the attack on the Mountain Protection Array to prevent Zhouyang from launching a surprise attack from within.

Now that Zhouyang is severely injured and almost powerless in the short term, they naturally had no more concerns and could join the attack array without restraint.

Therefore, even though Li Boyang and another Golden Core Stage Cultivator died, the attacking cultivators’ power not only did not weaken but beca stronger with the addition of the two Sword Cultivators as new forces.

But could it really be as simple as the leading Sword Cultivator said?

Clearly not!

Though Xiao Ying briefly intervened to save Zhouyang, the few Sword Cultivators did not seem to pay much attention, nor did they realize she was practicing the "Qinghua Calamity Crossing Scripture," a once glorious cultivation technique.

If they had known this, they certainly would not have been so reckless in launching this final offensive.

But there are no ifs in the world; a single misstep can lead to further mistakes until the error becos irreparable.

"Good, good, good. Well, then, I’m not afraid of you attacking. I’m only worried if you don’t attack."

"If you don’t attack and hold back your strength, it would be hard for to keep you all here."

"But now, attack with all your might. When you’ve exhausted your energy and break the array, it will be the ti for , Zhou, to start a massacre and reap your lives!"

On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhouyang, who was receiving treatnt from Xiao Ying, couldn’t help but laugh out loud with a sinister grin when he saw this scene.

His laughter was full of pride, coupled with his twisted and ferocious expression, making him look like a psychopathic demon.

But in reality, it was rely a way for him to vent the pain from his body.

Because as soon as he returned to the mountain, he took the only remaining drop of "Rejuvenating Immortal Dew" and then repeatedly received treatnt from his Dao companion, Xiao Ying, through the "Qinghua Tribulation Crossing Immortal Light."

During this treatnt, his broken arm and fingers, shattered bones, and missing flesh and skin all began to visibly regenerate.

The extre pain of instant regrowth of bones and flesh was enough to make even the toughest man cry out in pain. Zhouyang simply replaced the cries of pain with laughter amidst suffering.

However, in the eyes of those disciples on the mountain, this master, who had just displayed his might by slaying two Golden Core Stage cultivators in succession and who now faced the pain of regrowing bones and flesh with laughter, beca a figure as tall as a deity, worthy of their utmost admiration and reverence.

"Master truly is a model for our generation! Being able to take Master as my teacher is the best decision King has ever made!"

Wang Yanzhang, with eyes full of admiration, whispered in awe as he looked at the laughing figure.

In the past, while wandering the Cultivation Realm, he supported the weak and upheld justice, considering himself a heroic hero.

But today, witnessing Zhouyang fight in the skies outside the mountain and kill a Golden Core Stage cultivator effortlessly as if slaughtering dogs, and command hundreds of cultivators into silence with a shout, he realized how insignificant his previous actions were.

At this mont, he found a new goal, a role model, a source of motivation to cultivate diligently, aspiring to beco such an existence.

His future cultivation was not just to improve his cultivation realm and extend his lifespan, but to beco a powerful heroic figure like his master.

The other registered disciples also nodded in agreent with Wang Yanzhang’s admiration. anwhile, Zhou Shengyu and other Zhou Clan mbers all displayed looks of pride.

Only they knew that Zhouyang was not just their nominal master but also a Zhou family mber with whom they shared the sa bloodline. He was the most revered patriarch of the Zhou family.

To be able to follow this family patriarch and witness this legendary patriarch’s mighty power firsthand, they were genuinely happy and proud.

If they hadn’t been cautious about Zhouyang’s current identity, these Zhou family juniors would have likely already knelt on the ground, shouting "Patriarch’s mighty power."

Zhouyang naturally heard Wang Yanzhang’s admiration, but similar words had been heard many tis from other Zhou family junior disciples over the years. Hearing them again no longer brought him the sa excitent and satisfaction as when he first heard them.

This ti, he just glanced at the disciple for a mont, then turned his gaze to his Dao companion Xiao Ying, instructing, "Ying’er, you must listen this ti. After the array is broken, imdiately enter the small array to guard. No matter what happens, do not leave the array."

Hearing his words, Xiao Ying’s delicate face tightened, and after glancing at those registered disciples, she gently nodded and said, "Husband, rest assured, I understand what to do. I will definitely not cause trouble for you!"

Seeing this, Zhouyang couldn’t help but take a deep look at her and then shifted his gaze to the Seven-Colored Peacock and Golden-winged Thunder Eagle lying on the ground, saying, "Cai’Er, Golden Roc, let reiterate your tasks. After the array is broken, join forces to kill the Purple Mansion Stage and Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, then restrain two Golden Core Stage cultivators while assisting Ying’er."

After speaking, he paused, his gaze fierce as he sternly warned, "Rember, you can kill, but absolutely do not eat people in public, or I will personally roast you both for others to eat!"

"Caw caw caw, rest assured, Master, Golden Roc will definitely kill many enemies, at least a hundred! Besides, human flesh doesn’t taste good; Golden Roc isn’t interested. Flood Dragon at is better!"

The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle laughed strangely, its voice full of arrogance, causing Zhouyang to frown slightly.

He glared at the big bird, slightly nodded, and said, "As long as you perform well, there will be no shortage of Flood Dragon at after the battle."

The Seven-Colored Peacock’s eyes lit up upon hearing about the Flood Dragon at and imdiately chid in, "Cai’Er also wants Flood Dragon at. Master, you can’t be biased. Anything Zhou Jinpeng can do, Cai’Er can do better. It will kill a hundred and one enemies, no less than him!"

As its voice fell, it flicked its beautiful seven-colored tail, its eyes flashing with cunning intent, and looked at the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle maliciously, saying, "Zhou Jinpeng, how do you know human flesh doesn’t taste good? Did you secretly eat people before?"

Having been by Zhouyang’s side all along, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle’s history of eating humans was no secret to him.

But the Seven-Colored Peacock’s malicious words still filled it with rage, its eyes glaring fiercely at the peacock as it shouted, "Jiang Cai’Er, you can curse , but never slander . Say that again, and I’ll pluck all your feathers and taste Phoenix at!"

Upon hearing this, the Seven-Colored Peacock’s lovely head feathers stood up, its wings spreading as it defiantly cried out, "You want to eat my at? I want to taste yours. Do you think I’m afraid of you?"

Witnessing this scene, Zhouyang’s forehead veins bulged, and he shouted angrily, "Enough, both of you, shut up!"

As soon as he spoke, both spirit birds shrank their heads and glared at each other, indeed not daring to say another word.

Then he looked at the two spirit birds with a sinister gaze and said, gritting his teeth, word by word: "I will pretend I didn’t hear what you said earlier. But if I find you two daring to fight amongst yourselves again on the battlefield, I will cook you both together with Flood Dragon at and make a pot of Dragon and Phoenix soup!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle’s large golden eyes lit up suddenly, and it excitedly chirped, "Good, good! Didn’t Jiang Cai’Er always claim she was a descendant of the Phoenix? Master, if you’re making Dragon and Phoenix soup, she’s just the ready material! If you give Golden Roc just a sip of soup then, Golden Roc will rember your kindness for life!"

Bang!

Just as Zhouyang’s hand had fully recovered, he swung it into a punch, sending the foul-mouthed big bird flying away.

"Do you think I was just blathering nonsense?"

Zhouyang gazed coldly and terrifyingly at the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, which he had punched. Its eyes were now starry.

At this mont, not only the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle but also the Seven-Colored Peacock was scared, shrinking its head and trembling on the ground in submission.

The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle was also frightened, hurriedly spreading its wings to hide its head inside them, its voice trembling as it begged for rcy repeatedly, "Master, spare ! Golden Roc will never dare again! Golden Roc knows it’s wrong!"

"Calm down, husband. Your hand injury has just healed, and now you’re using it again."

Xiao Ying quickly moved forward to grab Zhouyang’s arm, gently advising, "You know how it is, that child Golden Roc just has a bit of a foul mouth, truly, if anyone dared to harm Cai’Er, it would be the first to rush in to protect her!"

"Rest assured, Ying’Er, I know what’s in my heart. This wretched bird just needed a beating; I’ve been tolerating it for too long. Today, I must teach it a good lesson so it’ll know who truly is the master!"

Zhouyang pushed away his Dao companion’s hand, looking sinisterly at the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle and speaking, his words causing all the feathers on the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle to stand up.

It covered its head desperately while retreating, screaming hoarsely, "Master, I’m wrong! I promise I won’t dare to speak foully in front of you again. In the future, if you say go east, I’ll never go south. If you want to shut up and I say another word, all my feathers should fall off and deep fry !"

"Such sharp wit!"

Zhouyang sneered coldly and then slowly approached, speaking as he walked, "I’m curious about one thing; you’ve been by my side all the ti, and logically speaking, even if you’re intelligent by nature, there’s nowhere to learn this foul-mouthed habit. Could you satisfy your master’s curiosity and tell why?"

After saying this, he waved his hand and set up a Sound Insulation Barrier to isolate himself alone with the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, to prevent any registered disciples from hearing things they shouldn’t.

"I’ll speak, I’ll speak, Master, take it easy, I’ll confess all. It was the Eagle Lion Beast and the Zhou Family boys who taught . Wasn’t there a ti when you went to the Land of the Far West and left to Lu Xuewei to oversee the Zhou Family? At that ti, I had nothing to do without your restraint, so I wandered around with the Eagle Lion Beast, accepting food offerings from so Zhou Family boys and also learned their curse words!"

Faced with Zhouyang’s large fist, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle decisively sold out its buddy, the Eagle Lion Beast, sharply confessing the origin of its foul-mouthed behavior.

Upon hearing its explanation, Zhouyang’s face imdiately beca filled with surprise.

"Just like that?"

He looked at the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle incredulously, highly suspecting that this wretched bird was still playing tricks on him.

"Really, I swear, Master, you must believe ; I couldn’t possibly deceive you!"

The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle stared at Zhouyang with tears in its eyes, full of grievance.

"Hmm, let this suffice for now; you’d better not want to taste the consequences next ti if you dare disobey my orders!"

With a cold snort, Zhouyang warned the wretched bird again, then waved his hand to disperse the Sound Insulation Barrier and withdrew his fist.

The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, which narrowly escaped disaster, breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing this, quickly following behind, looking like a dogleg loyal to its master, making people want to laugh.

Of course, the only one who dared to laugh out loud was Xiao Ying.

Even the Seven-Colored Peacock hadn’t yet recovered from Zhouyang’s sudden change of face and attack, completely devoid of any desire to mock its rival, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle.

Having put these two troublemakers in their place, Zhouyang then stayed on the mountain to peacefully heal and recover his injuries and magical powers in preparation for the final battle.

Three days passed like this, and after fourteen days of continuous assault, the Tier Five Top Grade Mountain Protection Array, the "Five Elents Returning to Origin Array" on Chongxuan Mountain, was finally broken through from the outside.

Thus, the entire Chongxuan Mountain was fully exposed to the attacking cultivators’ sight.

However, what appeared before their eyes shocked the attacking cultivators, initially full of excitent, and made their hearts sink instantly.

On the mountain top, Zhouyang stood, looking fresh and vigorous as if fully recovered, with the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle on his left and the Seven-Colored Peacock on his right, gazing at them with a laugh of sarcasm in a tone filled with playful triumph, "Hahaha, well, seeing like this now, is it unexpected? Do you have many questions in your hearts?"
