Chapter 336: Chapter 197: Successfully Crossing the Tribulation, Gaining a Seventh-Grade Opportunity
Whoosh!
In no time, three unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivators rapidly arrived at the residence where Jiang Fan was located.
It was clear that their purpose was very explicit, which was to assassinate this Honored Guest Elder of Red Whale Island.
Moreover, they intended to strike ruthlessly while the opponent was completely unresponsive.
In doing so, they could seize this island without shedding a drop of blood and acquire the wealth here.
Boom~~
Just as they approached the peak of the mountain, an invisible force crushed down upon them, enveloping the trio and causing their expressions to change dramatically.
"Damn, we’ve already been discovered by the Honored Guest Elder of Red Whale Island."
A bald Foundation Establishment cultivator’s face turned grim.
To be honest, their operation this time had already been discreet enough.
They hadn’t brought any subordinates along.
It was purely the three of them making a move themselves to decapitate the Island Master of Fire Copper Island.
But who could have imagined that merely approaching the peak would get them discovered by the enemy.
Their whereabouts were completely exposed.
This caused their plan to suffer a huge setback.
"How could it be so fast? It seems the Island Master of Fire Copper Island is no simple figure. It’s rumored he previously killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Sun Hao and Xie Chang, earning Red Whale Island’s recognition, and indeed, he is not easy to assassinate."
A black-clad Foundation Establishment cultivator’s face grew serious.
Instinctively, he realized that this time the opponent was tricky, and a slight negligence might lead to disaster.
But on second thought, there were now three Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side.
No matter how formidable the opponent was, it was merely one Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even if they couldn’t defeat the opponent, it wouldn’t be so easy for the opponent to eliminate the three of them.
"Heh, what the hell are you afraid of?"
"The opponent is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, nothing more."
"Since assassination is impossible, we’ll face him head-on."
"I refuse to believe this brat has three heads and six arms."
The remaining grey-robed cultivator said murderously, having been a Tribulation Cultivator for many years, the cultivators fallen by his hands were countless, even among those of the same realm.
Even if their cover was blown now, so what? Even in a direct confrontation, they were ninety percent sure of victory.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Jiang Fan flew out from within the residence, standing in mid-air, looking down at the three uninvited guests, an invisible aura of pressure emanating from him.
"To dare to cause trouble on my Fire Copper Island, it seems you are seeking death."
Jiang Fan looked at the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, his tone was exceedingly calm.
Although the other party had strength in numbers, compared to himself, they were still far behind.
He did not feel any threat at all.
Even when he was only at the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment, he wouldn’t have regarded these three people.
Not to mention that he had now ascended to the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment Realm, with a significant increase in cultivation.
So, he was even less afraid.
"Seeking death, huh?"
"A little brat, dare to boast in front of me."
"Die for me."
The bald Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted angrily, wielding a Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact—the Wind Spirit Staff.
Relying on this Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact, even when facing same-realm cultivators, he was unafraid.
If struck by it, one would be beaten to death, perishing on the spot.
A single swing carried the power of opening mountains and splitting stones.
"Brat, you’re really unlucky this time."
"Red Whale Island is in great difficulty, even if you want to ask for help, it’s too late."
"Today, obediently become a ghost under my blade."
The black-clad Foundation Establishment cultivator also took out a black saber, the Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact Ghost Tiger Saber, which unleashed the might of a Demon Tiger, alongside fearsome Ghost Qi and Evil Qi.
This Spiritual Artifact was exceptionally sharp, capable of splitting a Tier Two Demon Beast in half with one strike.
He too charged at Jiang Fan, his blade flashing with deadly sharpness.
"Being able to make the three of us join forces, you could consider it an honor, brat."
The grey-robed cultivator’s eyes gleamed with a hint of malice, taking out several poison needles, his Spiritual Artifact—the Five Poison Needles, which contained the Five Poison Liquid.
Once it infiltrates a cultivator’s body, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would die of poisoning.
With this Spiritual Artifact, he had poisoned countless cultivators.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Numerous black poison needles flew out, sharp and fierce, locking onto Jiang Fan’s life force.
Evidently, the three great Foundation Establishment cultivators launching an attack was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could rival.
But unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong opponent.
"Profound Turtle Talisman."
With just a thought, Jiang Fan immediately activated his Life Talisman—Profound Turtle Talisman.
Instantly, his entire body was enveloped by a Profound Turtle Shell condensed from spiritual power, with intricate shell patterns appearing all around, forming a sturdy spiritual barrier.
It was as if hiding behind a fortress wall, providing an immense sense of security.
Rumble~~
In an instant, the combined power of the three great Foundation Establishment cultivators struck the Profound Turtle Barrier, unleashing terrifying spiritual vibrations and causing devastating waves of destruction.
The surrounding ground became riddled with cracks, resembling a dense spider web.
The giant rocks in the distance were shattered by the shockwave.
Even a mountain showed slight fissures, seemingly on the brink of collapse.
Nonetheless, Jiang Fan’s body remained unfazed.
All of the attacks were blocked by the Profound Turtle Talisman.
Meanwhile, the attack force was redirected into the depths of the earth.
Evidently, after advancing to the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment, the defensive power of the Profound Turtle Talisman had become even more terrifying.
