Chapter 83

"Despicable!"

Seeing that even his companion was dead, Shi Cong was both shocked and furious. He frantically raised his bow and aimed at Gu Chen.

Slap!

Gu Chen had been watching him for a long time. The moment he moved, Gu Chen's slap was as fast as lightning.

At such a close distance, it was impossible for a bow and arrow to be used properly. This slap landed directly on his cheek.

If it wasn't for the Qi barrier protecting his body from his robe, Gu Chen's slap would have killed Shi Cong.

Even though he was fine, he was still stunned by the slap. He felt dizzy and dizzy. Gu Chen stepped forward and kicked him!

Bam.

The energy shield once again helped him block the attack, but his body staggered and directly rolled down the hillside.

Gu Chen jumped up and down. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Gu Chen and punched and kicked him mercilessly!

Poor Shi Cong was just a pure archer. Once he was closed in, he didn't have much room to fight back.

He originally thought that Gu Chen was also an archer and should be similar to him. But at this moment, he clearly realized that was not the case.

Waves of pain came from his body. Gu Chen's simple punches and kicks made him feel pain all over his body through the Qi barrier. He felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

"How dare you hit me, you bastard …"

He cursed again and again. Relying on the fact that his Qi barrier was temporarily fine, he tried to draw his bow and fight back against Gu Chen.

Clatter!

With a flip of his hand, Gu Chen snatched the purple longbow from his hand, causing his face to turn red.

"Give me back my bow!"

He shouted angrily. He took out several talismans from his storage ring and threw them forward.

They were several Yellow Inferior Grade Fire Talismans. They spontaneously combusted in the wind and turned into a huge fireball, shrouding Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was expressionless. He curled his finger and used the Five Fingers Fire Catching Technique. The fireball immediately flowed into his palm like rivers flowing into the ocean, condensing to the size of a meter.

Spirit Talismans were commonly used by cultivators. They could combine the power of heaven and earth and display a certain amount of magical power. However, the shortcoming was that they could not be used as freely as spells.

As soon as he made a move, he controlled the ball of fire. He raised his palm, and a huge fireball fell on Shi Cong.

"Ahhh —"

The robe on Shi Cong's body continued to glow and protect him, but the high temperature of the flames still made him cry out in pain.

"Die!"

Gu Chen flipped his hand, and the Flame Astral Blade that he obtained from Qian Fengbao appeared in his hand, while the purple longbow was stored in his Storage Ring.

Clang!

When he slashed out with his saber, Shi Cong's protective energy shield shook unsteadily. It was clearly weaker than before.

"Wait, let's talk this through!"

Sensing a life-and-death crisis, Shi Cong finally panicked. He frantically tried to escape, looking extremely wretched.

Gu Chen followed behind him, slashing out with his saber again and again. The energy shield gradually weakened.

The Flame Astral Blade was a Middle-Grade Yellow Grade magical weapon. Gu Chen used the Wind Chant Saber Technique, but he could not immediately break through Shi Cong's defense. This meant that the robe on Shi Cong's body was at least a High-Grade Yellow Grade magical weapon.

"Chen Gu, don't worry about him! Let's go! "

At this time, Xu Huahua suddenly said. Her face was full of fear as she looked in a direction.

Gu Chen followed her gaze and saw that Qian Jue Granny had already killed all the enemies around her and was walking in their direction.

Gu Chen's expression changed slightly. The strength of the old woman was obvious to all. More than half of the people present were killed by her. If she targeted them, it would be bad!

In comparison, Shi Cong, who could only die if he failed to complete the mission, was not worth the risk!

Bang!

With one slash, Gu Chen sent Shi Cong flying. The Wings of Wind appeared on his back, and he quickly flew up into the sky!

A glowing ribbon appeared under Xu Huahua's feet and carried her up into the sky.

"Did you get the item?"

Gu Chen asked with concern.

"Yes."

Xu Huahua nodded with a proud look on her face.

The item that Gu Chen wanted, along with the Low-Grade Black Grade Revival Pill, was snatched by Shi Cong's companions. That was why they decided to attack them.

Relying on Xu Huahua's puppet to secretly control the whole situation, they took Shi Cong's companions by surprise and successfully obtained the item!

This cooperation was flawless. Both of them successfully completed the mission and even exceeded the quota. At this moment, they were very happy.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A long rainbow flew over from the distant sky and landed rapidly on the ruins of the black market's auction hall.

"It should be the reinforcements from the Whale Alliance. Fortunately, we retreated quickly. Otherwise, whether it was that old woman or the reinforcements, they would have been more than enough to deal with. "

Xu Huahua patted her small chest with a face full of joy.

"It seems that there are not many people who can successfully pass the test."

Gu Chen shook his head. There were too many casualties, and more than half of them were killed by Qianjue Granny.

Cultivators with perfect magical powers were really terrifying.

"That nouveau riche is dead for sure. Who asked him to be so rude to me."

Xu Huahua said gloatingly.

This little girl was calculative. If Shi Cong had not offended her and been targeted by her, he might not have been defeated so thoroughly.

"It's a pity that we only got his bow and not the arrows."

Gu Chen said regretfully. Shi Cong's bow and arrows were a set. He had snatched the bow, but he did not have time to snatch the arrows.

"Alright, our harvest is not small. Before we go back to find the Celestial Court examiner, let's split the loot first!"

The two landed in a forest and hid.

Xu Huahua flipped her hand and took out eight storage rings.

"So many?" Gu Chen was a little surprised.

"They were all taken by my Earth Element Puppet. Apart from our targets, it also took the storage rings from a few corpses."

"It's a pity that it's too dangerous to stay. Otherwise, the harvest would have been greater."

Xu Huahua still felt a little regretful.

"Your puppet's contribution cannot go unnoticed. I only want my share. The rest is yours."

Gu Chen said.

Because of Xu Huahua's help, he did not have to spend much effort in this test. He did not want to take advantage of her.

"No, since we agreed to cooperate, we should share the benefits. Besides, your archery skills are much better than I thought. We might have a chance to cooperate in the future. I'll let you earn more this time. You can pay me back next time. "

This little girl was very generous. She divided the spoils of war equally. Gu Chen did as she said and did as she said without any pretense.

Eight storage rings. The storage ring with the white whale's fossil tooth belonged to Xu Huahua. The storage ring with the Revival Pill and Gu Chen's target belonged to him.

The rest would be split according to their value.

The two quickly finished splitting the loot and were satisfied with each other.

"If we hand in the white whale's fossil tooth and the Revival Pill, both of us will definitely be able to join the Celestial Court. Hehe."

Xu Huahua beamed. At this moment, she was like a girl her age, lively and cute.

"I don't intend to hand in the Revival Pill."

Gu Chen said in a low voice.

"Huh? Are you going to hand in the black cauldron of unknown origin? "

Xu Huahua's eyes widened.

When she heard that Gu Chen's target was such an inconspicuous auction item, she was surprised enough. She did not expect him to be so obsessed with it.

Gu Chen nodded. "That's right. I have confidence in that cauldron. Its value should not be low."

"What if it's actually not worth much? Don't forget that the test is only for the top five. Don't fail miserably." Xu Huahua reminded.
