I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

A cold color emerged on his face, and murderous intent surged in Han Yi’s heart.

The three Gold Core cultivators that appeared all looked middle-aged. They shared some resemblance, which could be seen on their faces. The cultivator in the middle had a blue longsword on his back, the one on the left held a golden sphere, and the one on the right carried a black machete.

It was no coincidence that these three Gold Core cultivators had come from Daqian to Daqin. They were three of the Tuoba brothers that Yu Xi had mentioned.

What did this mean? It meant that the people on the other side might have gone to Daqian to wait for them but bumped into them out of caution. At some point, they had directly shaken off the trio and were forced to return to Tian Nan Immortal City to wait for their chance.

However, there was one more problem. Where had Huo Ming gone? Where had the oldest of the Tuoba brothers, Tuoba Tu, gone?

Could it be that Huo Ming had been killed by Tuoba Tu?

This thought burst into Han Yi’s mind, and his murderous intent surged instantly.

On the other hand, the three Tuoba brothers had already taken positions a hundred meters apart, blocking the path of Han Yi and Yu Xi back to the Yu family. If the duo didn’t dare to break through, they could only escape in the opposite direction. However, escaping would also lead them to certain death.

Of course.

The Tuoba brothers wouldn’t do anything to Yu Xi as the young master had ordered. The young master wanted to force the Yu family to submit, not to kill them. If they killed the members of the Yu family, it would ruin the young master’s plans.

But this stranger must be killed by them. After killing him, they could also gain some benefits. Over the past few years, they had done many similar things and were well-versed in this routine.

“Kill him,” Tuoba Li coldly shouted. Tuoba Di and Tuoba An, who were a hundred meters away from him, sneered as they moved to surround Han Yi.

The position they were in was carefully chosen. It was less than ten miles away from the Yu family. The fighting noise here would surely be heard by the Golden Core members of the Yu family, but they would never make it here in time to save Han Yi.

Furthermore, their best-case scenario was that they would kill the cultivator who dared help the Yu family and have the Golden Core cultivators of the Yu family witness his inevitable death while they were only halfway through their journey. Then, once the battle was over, they could leave at their leisure before the Yu family’s Golden Core cultivators arrived.

This way, they could achieve their goal.

To kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

They had used this tactic before, though not as openly and brazenly, rather subtle and sneaky.

Now that Tuoba Tu was away, Tuoba Li was in charge. Both Tuoba An and Tuoba Di had always been indecisive, always obeying their brother or their second brother. With Tuoba Tu not around, they would naturally follow Tuoba Li’s orders.

As they revealed their killing intent, two figures soared up from the courtyard of the Yu family and rushed towards them at a fast pace, just as they had hoped.

But ten miles was a vast distance for early-stage Golden Core cultivators. By the time they arrived, the battle would have long been decided.

“It’s Second Grandfather and Second Uncle. Master Huo Ming, hold on. When they arrive, we can turn the tables and besiege them,” said Han Yi, glancing at Yu Xi. In this tense moment, Yu Xi let it slip, not using Han Yi’s fake name Wang Lin’, but instead calling him Huo Ming. It seemed that they had mistaken him for Master Huo Ming.

After a moment’s thought, Han Yi understood. Since they dared to do business with Profound Immortal Pavilion, they must have some understanding of the Xuandan Sect and Profound Immortal Pavilion. Master Huo Ming’s presence in Qian Du Profound Immortal Pavilion was no secret, so it was normal for them to know about it.

Han Yi turned his head and saw that Tuoba An on the left had already thrown the golden sphere forward. The golden sphere instantly transformed into a golden net. Despite its small appearance, the net expanded upon encountering wind. In an instant, it was shimmering with Spirit Light and descended towards Han Yi.

This net was called the Thousand Mechanism Soul Capturing Net. Once it entrapped someone, even the most vigorous spiritual power would be suppressed and forced back into the Spirit Sea, rendering Gold Core cultivators unable to stay afloat and leaving them at the mercy of their captors.

The golden sphere was just a condensed version of the Thousand Mechanism Soul Capturing Net, making it easier to store and facilitating a sudden attack. With this low-grade magical weapon, Tuoba An had once trapped and easily killed a loose cultivator at the Golden Core Early Stage.

On the right, Tuoba Di was already wielding his black machete, charging at Han Yi. If Han Yi got trapped by the Thousand Mechanism Soul Capturing Net, Tuoba Di could behead him with a single slash. If Han Yi retreats, Tuoba Di could block his escape route.

The duo attacked from both sides, leaving the cultivator from Xuandan Sect with nowhere to run, leading to certain death.

As for Tuoba Li, he extended his spiritual sense, partly focusing on Han Yi and Yu Xi, and partly on the two approaching Golden Core cultivators from the Yu family.

He had to ensure that he killed the cultivator before the cultivators of the Yu family arrived.

But in the next instant, his pupils shrank, and a mixture of surprise and fury suddenly emerged on his face.

In his line of sight, in just three short moments, the cultivator had managed to kill both Tuoba An and Tuoba Di.

This unreal scene caused his emotions to be filled with shock and rage.

The shock was instinctual, a reflexive reaction to the scene before him, while the rage was due to the death of his two fellow clansmen, causing his emotions to escalate rapidly.

However, as the murderous intent approached him, his facial expression froze.

“It’s…”

Time went back to three moments before.

Han Yi glanced at Yu Xi and then turned his gaze back to the Tuoba brothers who were attacking him from the left and right..
