Chapter 213 - Stone Golem
Ace didn't think there would be different kinds of Golems besides Speed Golem, and this one didn't have apparent weakness like Speed Golem.
But there was indefinitely a weakness because with his heavenly sense he can feel the same peculiar Qi as Speed Golem coursing through this Golem as well.
With some more observance, Ace finally found a focal point where this Qi was resonating. It was right at the center of this Golem's chest.
After making sure there wasn't any loophole remains, he dashed toward the Golem. He leaped toward the Golem's chest and stabled his long sword right at the area which was probably the weak spot!
The Black Blade Long Sword pass through the Golem's chest like butter, and Ace suddenly felt something crashing. But he still quickly retracted the long sword and quickly put some distance between Golem.
If this Golem didn't die, it would also prove it has no weakness like Speed Golem and Ace would escape the very next moment.
Suddenly, the sound of stone shattering rang in the area and the five meters tall Golem turn into a pile of rocks the very next moment.

'So, this one was a Stone Golem. I have to admit; these golems are too easy to kill once you know their weakness.' Ace thought with a huge grin on his face.
He didn't expect it would be this easy to kill a Qi river depth stage being.
It's just that Ace didn't know he has over powerful Grade-1 weapons like Black Blade Swords or this Stone Golem's body was on par with a 7-star shield and that gemstone inside his chest was like an 8-star ore!
As for the empty river speed golem, its skull was like a 6-star shield, while those two gems were like 7-star ore. Even those peak Qi river cultivators can't deal with it easily because of its speed.
But Ace has absurd skills and treasures he could easily kill these hard-to-deal-with golems, and he even dares to call them weak. If all those people died in those golem hands heard this, they would probably die again out of anger.
Ace move on toward the next golem since he could deal with even powerful Golems easily, he became more fearless. This was a golem opportunity to farm a hundred million EXP, and he won't be missing it.

While Ace was hunting down the golem in the depth of the inner circle, the thief hunting group also reached the boundary of the inner circle.
But these Kings and Queens didn't just charge right inside because everyone knows the inner circle can affect peak Qi river cultivators like them if they made even a tiny mistake.
Hesitance was all over everyone's face. Even though they wanted to end this thief, it didn't mean they were willing to pay with their lives.
"I think we should leave since that thief dares to enter the inner circle he'll die." The Earth King suggests at this moment.
"I'm with Earth King on this. All those seniors in the Qi river core realm probably entered the inner circle already. If they need us, they would've waited for us, right?" The Warren King nodded in agreement.
"But we can't just leave, right?" The Blue Queen frowned. She also has the same thoughts as both Kings.
"You cowards!" The Leap King yell at this moment, "Just stay here if you want, but I'm going!"
"Heh, it's your grudge, there is no need to be angry with us." The Golden King sneered at this moment, "If anyone wants to go they can go, but those staying here can also not leave. We should encampment, what if that thievish bastard came out?"
"Golden King is right. We should encampment here and guard this region." The Luminous King also agreed.
In the end, out of 9 reaming rules, only the Leap King was hellbent on, going, and no one, stop him either. The reaming eight stay to guard the place.

Inside the inner circle,
Three caped figures appeared in front of a puddle of mud, this was the first speed-golem Ace killed.
There was a strange white compass in one of these figures' hands.
"There was a fight here." Marc's calm voice rang at this moment.
"Yes, Sister Leana's myriad rhythm compass is also trembling, which means one fighter was a human." Rina nodded.
"Hmph, it seemed that scoundrel thief finally met misfortune." Leana was thrilled after hearing this because she was very frustrated after not finding that thief even after putting in so much effort.
"Heh, it won't be long before that would fall in our h…"
Before Marc could finish his words, he suddenly felt grave danger from behind.
"You're courting death!"
A gloomy gray barrier instantly formed around the three of them.
'Bang…'
The attacker was naturally a Speed Golem and the very moment it touched the barrier it instantly turned into ashes!
"Your majesty!"
The two sword maids finally come to their senses and instantly cry in alarm.
Marc's face was pale, it seemed he had to use a large amount of Qi to form that barrier.
"I'm fine. What was that thing?" Marc gravely looked at the ashes, "It was only an Empty Qi River stage, but its speed was on par with a peak Qi river cultivator. If I didn't use my art in time, one of us would be gravely injured."
"I think these things are unique demonic beasts of this forest." Rina reckoned with a gloomy face.
"This damn forest is too bizarre!" Leana grumbled.
"Ready for batter there are more coming and call those old men after this battle it would be wise to travel with them in this part!" Marc yelled abruptly.
He had a special method to sense danger, and right now he could tell there were over ten same kinds of beings rushing toward them.
Marc never would've thought he would force in this kind of situation, in this barren place!

While Marc's team was facing a group of speed golem, those in the Qi river core realm were already deep in the inner circle.
These golems didn't pose any threat to them at all, and now and then they would find a puddle of mud or a pile of rocks. They were hundreds of them!
They knew this was the doing of that thief, and they all thought they were very close to capturing him. But they didn't know all these remnants were half a day old, and they were left there on purpose.
The more they would follow these clues, the closer they would be to the Mysterious circle. But all they wanted was to capture him, even if they had their doubts they would simply suppress them and keep following the trails.

Ace was miles away from the group of pursuers, he had killed 110 Speed Golems and 112 Stone Golems while moving toward the mysterious circle.
However, as he was moving deeper in the inner circle, the speed golems were becoming scarcer. Only the Stone Golems were still plenty, and Ace was elated about it nonetheless.

Ace had just killed a Stone Golem when his heart palpitated, and he sensed a deadly threat approaching. He quickly used the breathless stealth and leap on a tree ten meters away.
A six-meter tall Speed Golem suddenly stopped right beside the pile of stones and looked around with its gemstone eyes.
Ace's heart sank because this was a Qi River Source Stage Speed Golem and its speed was with no doubt faster than his.
Furthermore, this speed golem also seemed to be drawn here because of the commotion Stone Golem made while breaking.
'This is a chance!' Ace's eyes turn cold while he looked at the new Speed Golem.
It can't sense him, and it was still looking around like an idiot, and he would not miss this chance.
With both long and short swords in his hand, Ace flashed toward the Speed Golem like an arrow.
The speed golem also sensed something as it twisted around and looked upward. But alas, it was too late and the moment it turned its head upward, two pointy black edges directly pierce through its eye's sockets.
It didn't even resist and turned into a puddle of mud.
Ace's eyes shone with ecstasy when he killed the Qi river source speed golem in one move.

Ace nodded in satisfaction when he got 100k all at once. The higher level the being he killed from his cultivation, the more EXP he'll get.
'I'm probably halfway inside the inner circle, I wonder just how many people are following my traces.' Ace smiled slyly as he moved toward his next target!
