Chapter 1815

Smack!

The whip disintegrated the craftsman's attack, but Gu Chen did not plan to stop there. The attribute of the mysterious rope in his hand changed. It became like a spring, or like a vicious poisonous snake, and instantly shot toward the craftsman!

The craftsman did not see anything approaching him, but he felt the airflow. His heart skipped a beat, and the Dao energy in his body exploded!

The wooden armor he wore glowed, and instantly formed dozens of barriers on the surface of his body!

Splat!

However, the dozens of barriers only slowed down the mysterious rope for a moment. It pierced through the barriers in the blink of an eye, and firmly bound the craftsman!

All of a sudden, the craftsman could not move. No matter how the Dao energy in his body flowed, it was like it was flowing into a bottomless pit!

The entire process was actually very short. Everyone's vision blurred, and the craftsman was already under someone else's control!

"Fellow Cultivator Chen, spare me!"

The craftsman, who realized that he could no longer resist, felt a chill run down his spine. He no longer cared about his grudge and blurted out, afraid that Gu Chen would kill him the next moment.

Everyone came back to their senses. Tu Xiong's beheading sword was unsheathed with a clang, and he slashed at the void!

He could not see the mysterious rope, but he could feel that something had bound the craftsman, and he had slashed out with his instincts.

Although the mysterious rope was made of pure energy, the slash had dissipated the energy, and the rope was equivalent to breaking. The craftsman's body had regained its mobility!

"What? You want to join in the fun too? "Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at Tu Xiong.

"The outcome has been decided. Brother Chen, please let the craftsman go for my sake." Tu Xiong grinned.

"If I remember correctly, you agreed to let him and I fight to the death," Gu Chen replied coldly.

"Brother Chen, you've remembered wrongly. I support your fight, but I don't want anyone to die. The mission is more important," Tu Xiong explained shamelessly.

If the craftsman won, he would not step forward to stop it. However, he did not want the craftsman to die when something unexpected happened, because the two of them had some friendship and cooperation.

"I think you're mistaken about something." Gu Chen looked at him coldly.

"What?" Tu Xiong was stunned.

"You and I aren't close at all. Who do you think you are to give me face?" Gu Chen mocked, the corners of his mouth were full of disdain.

Tu Xiong's expression darkened. "Chen, watch your mouth. You don't want to offend all of us at once."

"Everyone? You want to stop me from killing people just like him? "

Gu Chen turned his head to look at Lady Storm, the Whisperer, and the Peach Blossom Householder with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"To deal with that Golden Godly Crocodile, the craftsman's puppetry technique should come in handy," Lady Storm said. Her words had undoubtedly expressed her stance. She did not wish for the craftsman to die.

Whisperer nodded in agreement, while Householder Peach Blossom sighed.

It was clear that the three of them were taking sides. They did not stop the blacksmith earlier, but instead chose to stop the blacksmith after he had suffered a loss. It was likely that Gu Chen would not be willing to accept this loss.

He didn't know when the four of them had banded together or what their own thoughts were, but he didn't want anyone to die, so he could only advise them.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, how about this? I'll let the craftsman apologize to you, and we'll let this matter rest. I believe that he won't dare to make things difficult for you again. "

His body could move again, and with everyone protecting him, the craftsman felt a lot more at ease. He followed Householder Peach Blossom's words and said, "I've offended fellow Daoist Chen before, it's my fault. I hope that fellow Daoist Chen will forgive me!"

He apologized very straightforwardly, not feeling embarrassed at all.

The reason was simple. It seemed like he had lost this situation, but he was not hurt at all. On the other hand, the other party had been isolated and suffered a loss.

If the other party were to swallow this loss, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. If he were not willing to swallow it, he would become everyone's enemy.

To be honest, he was a little hoping that the other party would not swallow it. If that was the case, he would still have a chance to kill the other party!

The strange power that Gu Chen displayed just now had already made him very wary. He did not want to leave this trouble alive.

"You guys are quite united." Gu Chen glanced at everyone coldly and said sarcastically.

"Fellow Daoist, please think of the bigger picture." Householder Peach Blossom smiled bitterly. He had really offended the other party this time.

"Consider yourself lucky today. I'll spare your life."

Gu Chen said to the craftsman. Everyone was relieved when they heard that. It seemed like the other party was still sensible.

That was right. Even if he was stronger than the craftsman, he could not fight so many of them at the same time. If he persisted, he would only embarrass himself.

Just as everyone was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, Gu Chen turned around and left.

Everyone was stunned. Householder Peach Blossom hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, where are you going?"

"Since you're on the same side as him, I have nothing else to say. Let's go our separate ways." Gu Chen did not even look back. He walked into the dense forest and his voice drifted over.

"We're still in the middle of the mission. Brother Chen, are you giving up?" Tu Xiong asked loudly. A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.

Previously, he had boasted that no one could stop him if he wanted to kill the craftsman. In the end, as soon as they tried to stop him, he immediately chickened out.

It was fine if he chickened out, but he could not accept reality. He had to endure the humiliation and wanted to leave the group on impulse.

After all, this was the Great Desolate Swamp. It was foolish to act alone.

"I can complete the mission myself. I don't need you guys."

As if in a fit of pique, Gu Chen left these words and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Householder Peach Blossom, leaving the group during the mission is against the rules of Modest Pavilion. According to the rules, we can execute Chen Yi for doing this!" The craftsman suggested with a venomous look.

He did not want to let go of such a powerful enemy, lest he caused endless trouble in the future.

With everyone's strength, they could make Chen Yi stay in the swamp forever!

"Do you want to fail the mission because of your personal grudge?" Householder Peach Blossom's eyes suddenly flashed with cold lightning. He looked at the craftsman with a murderous look.

The craftsman's expression changed. He knew that the other party was angry, so he quickly shut his mouth.

"Actually, the craftsman is right. We forced him to leave, so he must harbor a grudge. If he hides in the dark and tries to harm us, that won't be good." Tu Xiong's eyes flashed.

"Do you know how much damage we'll suffer if we fight him? We need to focus our energy on the target. We can't fight among ourselves! "

Householder Peach Blossom was in a terrible mood. The current situation had deviated from the plan. Without Gu Chen, it would be much more difficult for them to deal with that Godly Golden Crocodile.

However, he could not blame Chen Yi. In reality, they had teamed up to force him to leave. There was no point in chasing after him to stop him.

"Let's go. Let's continue forward!"

Householder Peach Blossom sighed heavily. What kind of nonsense was this? The mission was more important, so he could only put this matter to the back of his mind for now.

Without Gu Chen, the group continued forward. However, Gu Chen, who had left the group, did not really go far.

He stood on a treetop and looked at the group's path. He murmured, "We can move freely now. I want to see what secrets this place has!"
