chapter 242: a scheme that boomerangs liu dajin, whose entire focus was on meng zhang, was caught off guard and successfully ambushed by the deep earthspirit general. after the second rank magic tool stonebreaker hammer was refined by the deep earthspirit general, its power became formidable. with a single strike, it shattered liu dajin's protective true qi, causing him to feel a sweet sensation in his throat, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. although the injuries on his body were minor, the crucial issue was that the cold energy suppressed within him, which liu dajin had been keeping under control, suddenly surged. he felt an icy chill spreading through his body, leaving his limbs numb. he hastily circulated his true qi to forcefully dispel the cold and suppress the frigid energy within him. taking advantage of this opportunity, meng zhang swiftly maneuvered his body, avoiding liu dajin's attacks. he retrieved a small jade bottle from his storage bag and drank all the stored stalactite fluid within it. long ago, when meng zhang and jue ying explored the ancient cave of a senior from the purple gold sect, they discovered stalactite fluid produced by the spiritual vein present in the cave's divine eye. stalactite fluid was the best natural spiritual item for replenishing true qi. over the years, taiyi sect had accumulated a considerable amount of stalactite fluid, and now it finally proved its great use. with the stalactite fluid in his stomach, meng zhang's nearly depleted true qi rapidly recovered. at this moment, liu dajin suppressed the cold energy within him and turned around to launch a fierce attack on the deep earthspirit general. meng zhang took a brief moment to recover and then rushed forward, joining forces with the deep earthspirit general to confront liu dajin together. holding the golden crow lantern, the might of the solar true flame significantly increased meng zhang's resistance to the icy attacks, enabling him to firmly withstand liu dajin's cold true qi. the tangling silk soft sword danced in the air, displaying the essence of the flowing willow sword technique to its fullest extent. although the deep earthspirit general's cultivation base had temporarily only restored to the foundation building initial stage, he had once possessed the combat strength of the gold core level. his battle experience and various techniques far exceeded those of an ordinary foundation building cultivator. with meng zhang and the deep earthspirit general working together, they unexpectedly blocked liu dajin's attacks. meng zhang clearly sensed that liu dajin's cultivation base seemed to have weakened significantly, and occasionally, a trace of pain would appear on his face. at this moment, liu dajin was not faring well; profound changes were occurring within his body. the cold energy accumulated within him had been entwined for many years, and now it was causing turmoil once again. to suppress the cold energy, liu dajin had exhausted a great deal of his energy, and now he couldn't even utilize most of his true qi. both meng zhang and the deep earthspirit general were seasoned fighters and realized that liu dajin's actions were not a ruse; something was seriously affecting his cultivation base. after making this observation, their spirits rose, and their attacks became more potent, as if they were about to reverse the situation. the battle continued fiercely. as time passed, the impact of the cold energy on liu dajin grew stronger, and he was on the verge of losing control. constant waves of chilling aura assaulted his body, slowing down his movements, and he was almost frozen stiff. liu dajin knew he was reaching his limit. the icy energy within him was becoming uncontrollable. once it erupted completely, it would be the end of him. originally, liu dajin had been pursuing meng zhang with a mindset of being prepared to die; he was willing to sacrifice his life for this cause. however, when faced with the actual situation, he started to hesitate. in the face of life and death, liu dajin revealed his instinct to cling to life and fear death. the desire to survive emerged in his heart, and he no longer wished to entangle with meng zhang and the others but wanted to quickly withdraw from the battle and return to liu family. there, he could utilize the warmth of the jade bed to suppress the cold energy within him. meng zhang and deep earthspirit general keenly sensed the change in liu dajin and noticed the enemy's spirit gradually waning. at this moment, it was meng zhang's turn not to spare liu dajin. liu family's patriarch, liu dahai, arrived at the front of the mountain gate and noticed liu dajin's lifeless body being held by meng zhang. liu dahai's face turned ashen, and he called for liu dajin's disciples. after sternly interrogating them, liu dahai understood the hidden actions of liu dajin. liu dajin had undoubtedly attempted to assassinate meng zhang covertly, but he was killed in retaliation by meng zhang, and his body fell into meng zhang's hands. "liu dajin, that idiot, trying to assassinate a foundation building early-stage cultivator and ending up being killed instead," liu dahai fumed with anger, continuously cursing the deceased liu dajin. liu dajin was dead, but he left behind a huge mess for liu family to deal with. seeing that no cultivator from liu family came forward, and with only himself and deep earthspirit general, meng zhang realized they lacked the certainty to breach the liu family's mountain gate. after some consideration, meng zhang used a messaging talisman to notify the other sects' high-level cultivators. guang hongdaoist was the first to arrive, and upon receiving meng zhang's message, his face turned ashen with an overwhelming fury, far from his usual amiable demeanor. cultivators from qiaoshou sect and forest mountain school gradually arrived. aunt jin, xu yishan, and the others were also filled with anger. the actions of liu family were a severe violation of the rules. while everyone was dealing with the sand monsters, liu family stabbed them in the back, which would inevitably incur the wrath of the entire endless sea of sand cultivation world. golden blade sect's flying ship arrived, but ruan dadao was conspicuously absent.
