I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Xiao Ze suddenly opened his eyes atop the city wall. His eyes adopted a golden hue and boundless dragon might swept outward in a frenzy.

Everyone was greatly startled by this outburst of power, and they were just about to inquire about the reason for this when Xiao Ze explained to everyone, “Protect yourselves, everyone. There is an extremely powerful enemy on his way here. I’m no match for him!”

An enemy that even Xiao Ze, a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, was no match for? Just how powerful was this enemy!?

“Call for reinforcements!” An Lin was greatly startled upon hearing this as he yelled and woke up the sleeping Tina.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao immediately crushed a Heavenly Court emergency jade seal in his hand.

The jade seal was purple, which indicated the highest level of danger!

“Roar!” an earth-shattering dragon roar erupted.

Xiao Ze transformed into a black dragon over ten thousand feet in length before taking to the skies and staring into the distance with a grave expression.

He had to get further away from Huang Quan City. Otherwise, there was a very good chance that the shockwaves from his battle against the intruder would raze the entire city to the ground.

At the same time, the city-protection spell formation was also instantly activated. None of the soldiers standing guard chose to run away as there were hundreds of thousands of city residents behind them! Even all the students were pouring forth all their vital energy into the spell formation.

A green barrier materialized to envelop the entirety of Huang Quan City while creating a seemingly indestructive suit of armor for the city from which an extremely vast aura emanated.

The red-robed man unleashed a disdainful palm toward the barrier around Huang Quan City.

If killing the Primordial Dragon Tribe cultivator served as vengeance for the Dark Poison Lord, then crushing this city would serve as vengeance for the fourteen Blood Tribe cities that were razed to the ground! Even the most powerful cultivators lending their powers to the spell formation were only at the Soul Formation Stage, so there was no way the barrier could stand up against one of his palms.

Heaven and earth tremored violently.

A crimson palm, which seemed to have obscured the entire sky, descended upon Huang Quan City.

All the inhabitants of the city fell to the ground in horror and despair at the sight of the gargantuan crimson palm.

They had a feeling that if this crimson palm was to fall upon them, the entire Huang Quan City would be reduced to dust and completely cease to exist in this world.

Xiao Ze didn’t expect the intruder to ignore him and attack Huang Quan City instead. His expression shifted as his body twisted to create a black tornado that swept toward the crimson palm.

Boom!

An earth-shattering collision took place and shockwaves swept through the air within a radius of close to ten kilometers as the city-protection spell formation began to tremor and quake.

The crimson palm managed to vanquish the black tornado in the end, and although it had been significantly blunted in the process, the power imbued within the attack was still equivalent to an attack from a Return to Void Stage mighty figure! Their first clash instantly indicated the power gap between Xiao Ze and Laden.

“Fool!” Laden flashed through the air to instantly appear before Xiao Ze at this moment.

One of the cardinal sins of battle was to allow oneself to be distracted. In particular, doing so against a more powerful opponent was akin to suicide.

Laden had unleashed an attack on Huang Quan City because there was still a bit of distance between himself in Xiao Ze. As such, he would have time to formulate a defense against Xiao Ze even after he unleashed his palm.

However, Xiao Ze had completely lost the initiative after choosing to try and defend Huang Quan City.

To lose the initiative against an enemy more powerful than oneself would often prove to be lethal!

Laden didn’t even look at all those ants in the city that would surely be reduced to dust by his palm. His only target now was Xiao Ze, and an expression of single-minded ferocity appeared on his face.

“Blood Star Finger!” He extended two fingers toward Xiao Ze’s head.

Heaven and earth instantly dimmed as the moon and stars were obscured. A red streak of light descended like a meteorite, which had the power to pulverize everything in this world, before striking Xiao Ze’s head.

This was one of Laden’s favorite techniques, and it was perfectly infused with his dao of the blood star.

This attack was powerful enough to instantly kill a Return to Void Intermediate Stage mighty figure!

Boom!

Countless spatial cracks appeared in the air as the entire night sky was colored crimson.

“Howl!” Xiao Ze howled in pain upon being struck by the Blood Star Finger, and his massive body was forced back several kilometers.

A peculiar expression appeared on Laden’s face as he looked at the retreating black dragon. “What happened? Not even a Return to Void Final Stage mighty figure should have been able to defend themselves against that attack, so how could he remain completely unscathed?”

Laden turned in another direction, and his expression faltered slightly again upon seeing the green barrier around Huang Quan City, which was still intact.

Was there something wrong? Could it be that there was a problem with him?

Even a bunch of ants were able to conjure up a spell formation that could stand up against one of his palms?

Even though the palm had been blunted by the black dragon, it still possessed power equivalent to an attack from a Return to Void Stage mighty figure, which was not something the people down below should have been able to stand up against…

“Howl!”

Right at this moment, Xiao Ze began to summon divine lightning in the sky.

Bolts of monstrous black lightning crashed down with devastating power toward Laden’s head, leaving countless spatial cracks in their paths.

Laden raised a single palm to defend himself. He was confident that a single palm was enough to brush aside the full-force strike of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage!

However, right at this moment, the monstrous power imbued within the bolts of lightning suddenly soared to the Return to Void Final Stage level. Streaks of gold began to appear on the bolts of black lightning, giving off a sense of destructive beauty.

Boom!

The bolts of lightning struck Laden’s palm, charring it black in the process.

“How could this be? Is this really a dragon at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage?” Laden stared at his charred palm with incredulity on his face.

He had thought that he would be able to end the battle within ten minutes, but never would he have thought that the first person to be injured in this battle would be himself.

Within Huang Quan City, An Lin’s fingertips were flashing with lightning.

He had just enhanced his disciple’s lightning with his Lightning Amplification Technique, and he felt like the effects were quite good.

Perhaps it was because he had signed a disciple contract with Xiao Ze. Anyway, he felt quite a strong connection with Xiao Ze’s lightning, and as such, his Lightning Amplification Technique worked effectively, thus boosting the strength of Xiao Ze’s lightning and making it equivalent to the strength of a Return to Void Final Stage cultivator.

“Are you alright, Tina?” An Lin turned to the beautiful fairy beside him.

Tina shook her head with a smile. “No problem. I can take a hundred more of those attacks with ease!”

With Tina at the core of the spell formation, and Sword Immortal Ling Xiao, Cheng Fei, Xiao Chou, Xuanyuan Cheng, Xu Xiaolan, Su Qianyun, and all the cultivators in the city contributing their vital energy to the spell formation, it had been strengthened to the point that it would be able to stand up against a full-force strike from a mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage!

However, a grave expression still lingered on An Lin’s face as he knew that their enemy was a powerful being at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Final Stage!

This was a powerful being on par with the likes of the Dark Night Monarch, Palace Leader Qing Li, and War God Xing Tian. He was extremely familiar with just how fearsome cultivators of this level were. They had taken their dao to the extreme and were on the brink of progressing to the Dao Integration Stage! It was impossible to tell how many trump cards they had up their sleeves.

It was exactly because of this that even though his body of the War God had reached the initial success stage, thereby making his defensive abilities extremely formidable, he still did not dare to join the battle against the intruder.

He was afraid that he would be insta-killed by one of the Blood Tribe intruder’s trump cards.

The other reason for An Lin’s excessive caution was that he had discovered a pattern; each time he was forced to use the power, which necessitated a lifespan sacrifice to activate, he was faced with enemies at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.

He was determined to buck this trend this time!

He refused to waste any more of his lifespan. He had to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements from the Heavenly Court!
