Chapter 1421
Chapter 1421
Beside a small waterfall formed by a stream, an emerald green spirit fruit was growing among the vines on the mountain wall. Suddenly, an emerald green shadow flew out of the forest and approached the spirit fruit in the blink of an eye.
When the shadow stopped, it turned out to be a thumb-sized robin.
The robin seemed to have been disturbed a lot this day and night. It no longer dared to go forward and suck the juice of the spirit fruit as if it was familiar with the way it used to. Instead, it stopped about a foot away from the spirit fruit and stayed still.
After a moment, seeing that there was no movement in the surroundings, the robin was relieved. It flapped its wings and was about to pierce its beak into the emerald fruit when a ten feet wide net suddenly shot out from the stone wall between the vines beside the emerald fruit, trapping both the emerald fruit and the robin within!
"Hahaha!" A wild laugh came from above the stone wall where the waterfall was. It was Cheng Ming who had set up the ambush!
Behind him, Le Chongqi also revealed his figure with a smile. However, the Cheng Clan disciples who had been following behind them were nowhere to be seen. They must have lost their lives in the hunt last night!
Cheng Ming's face was full of wild laughter. He gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Fellow Daoist Le is wise. Instead of looking for the robin, you only looked for the rare Emerald Juice Fruit and set up an ambush next to the fruit to lure the robin into the trap!
Fellow Daoist Le is really smart! "
"Fellow Daoist Cheng is too kind. It was only when I saw Fellow Daoist Cheng's death last night that I had the idea. This is also Fellow Daoist Cheng's blessing!" Le Chongqi cupped his hands and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Le, please put away this Net Spirit Talisman. If you didn't have this spirit talisman … I'm afraid even if the robin fell into the trap, I wouldn't be able to deal with it!" Cheng Ming laughed.
"Yes, I will put it away right away!"
As Le Chongqi spoke, he had already flown into the air. He slapped a yellow talisman on his forehead. Then, he made a gesture. The net covering the robin flashed with a red brilliance and gradually shrank. It slowly turned into a net of one foot in size and flew into Le Chongqi's hand …
At this moment, a figure like a flying sword rushed out of the waterfall, splashing water everywhere. Looking at the fluttering Daoist robe and black hair like clouds, it was Cai Zhuoxia who had been lying in ambush for a long time!
Cai Zhuoxia had used the Spirit Seeking Talisman three times yesterday, but all of them had failed. She had been snatched away by others, so like Le Chongqi, she thought of other ways to find the Emerald Juice Fruit beside the waterfall. Unfortunately, she did not have a Net Spirit Talisman, so she could only lie in ambush and wait for the Emerald Juice Fruit to come to her.
She was aware of Cheng Ming and Le Chongqi's arrangements, but her cultivation was far inferior to theirs, so she didn't dare to make a move. She waited for them to succeed before she dared to take the risk and charge out!
"Who is it!"
Upon seeing Cai Zhuoxia's figure fly out, Cheng Ming, who had long been prepared, sneered. He held a large number of yellow talismans in his hand and smashed them down like hailstones!
Of course, Cai Zhuoxia was well prepared to take advantage of the situation. She also threw out several yellow talismans to block Cheng Ming's attack. Her other hand reached out to grab the net that was close at hand …
"Hehe …" There was another sneer. A sword light flew out from under Cai Zhuoxia's body. At the same time, a cultivator covered in earthy yellow brilliance emerged from the ground!
"Ah ~" Cai Zhuoxia was shocked. She thought she was the first to arrive. She didn't see anyone here except for Cheng Ming and Le Chongqi, so she didn't have any defense against the ground. The Flying Sword Talisman was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it pierced Cai Zhuoxia's abdomen, forcing her to stop reaching out to grab the net. She could only roll herself up and fly to the side!
The Flying Sword Talisman brushed past Cai Zhuoxia's Daoist robe, shattering the Iron Cloak Talisman and flying straight into the air!
"That was close!"
Cai Zhuoxia's back was covered in cold sweat. She was just about to stabilize her unbalanced body when Le Chongqi, who was in midair, revealed a sinister smile. With a wave of his hand, an extremely fine brilliance quietly flew toward Cai Zhuoxia's glabella!
"Black Iron Needle???" Cai Zhuoxia's heart sank!
This Black Iron Needle was a low-level magic tool driven by Foundation Establishment cultivators using their divine thoughts. It was extremely sharp and could break through defenses. With Cai Zhuoxia's cultivation, not to mention that the Iron Cloak Talisman was broken, even if her defenses were intact, it wouldn't be easy for her to dodge it!
En, not to mention that she was now leaning in midair!
"Sigh ~" Cai Zhuoxia let out a sigh from the bottom of her heart. She slightly urged her transcendence energy and activated the transmission yellow talisman in her hand!
A ray of light emitted from her hand, and Cai Zhuoxia's figure disappeared in midair!
However, what happened next was completely out of Cai Zhuoxia's expectations. Just as Cai Zhuoxia's figure disappeared, the Black Iron Needle that was flying towards Cai Zhuoxia suddenly changed its direction. With a sharp turn, it rapidly pierced towards the cultivator who used the Earth Escape Talisman!
Le Chongqi's Black Iron Needle … was actually attacking this cultivator, and not … Cai Zhuoxia!!!
Not only was Cai Zhuoxia fooled, that cultivator was also fooled. He was prepared to use one hand to grab the net and the other to attack Le Chongqi!!
Unfortunately … that Black Iron Needle suddenly changed its direction and he had no time to dodge. With a "Chi" sound, the Black Iron Needle pierced through his defensive yellow talisman and directly pierced through his Daoist robe, piercing right into his heart!
"Ah!!!"
A wave of unbearable pain came from this cultivator's body. The cultivator cried out in grief and his entire body went limp. He fell from midair and couldn't be more dead!
"Hmph ~" Le Chongqi let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, the Black Iron Needle flew out of the cultivator's corpse, flashed through the air, and landed in his hand!
"Great magical power!" Cheng Ming also flew over at this time with a look of horror on his face and praised again.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Le Chongqi's face regained its smile. He made a hand seal with his other hand and the net floating in midair flew into his hand. Le Chongqi didn't even look at it. He only looked around as if he was guarding against other people's sneak attacks!
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Le, don't look. Just based on the Black Iron Needle that Fellow Daoist can control as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who would dare to come forward?" Cheng Ming laughed and said, "Quickly take out the robin. I will stick a Spirit Suppression Talisman on it!"
"Yes, that's exactly what I should do!" Le Chongqi said and put away the net, revealing the motionless robin inside.
However, he didn't directly hand the robin to Cheng Ming. Instead, he took out a yellow talisman from his storage bag and stuck it on the robin …
Cheng Ming saw this and said, "Fellow Daoist Le is really meticulous!
Thank you very much. Quickly give the robin to I! "
Unexpectedly, Le Chongqi bared his teeth and laughed. He put the robin into his arms and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, you're wrong. This robin was captured by I. Why should I give it to Fellow Daoist?"
"You???" Cheng Ming flew into a rage and jumped up. "You … you're going back on your word!
Didn't we already make an oath?
The first robin is I's and the second is Fellow Daoist's? "
Le Chongqi wasn't nervous at all and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, you're wrong. Fellow Daoist, please take a look. It was I who came up with the idea to search for the Jade Fruit, right?
This Net Spirit Talisman is I's, right?
It was also I who killed one of the two cultivators who coveted the robin and repelled the other, right?
Tell me … what right do you have to want this robin? "
"But … but the spirit used to find this jade fruit is my Cheng Clan's, right?"
Cheng Ming's face turned red and he said anxiously, "Besides … you also made an oath with I. My Cheng Clan's disciple protected you last night and even lost his life!"
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Cheng, do you believe such a childish trick like making an oath?"
Le Chongqi sneered and pointed his finger. The black iron needle spun in the air and stopped in front of Cheng Ming's forehead. He said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, although your cultivation is at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, I'm afraid you don't have any power to resist this black iron needle. I won't take your life for the sake of your Cheng Clan's disciple's life last night. Consider yesterday's oath worthy!"
"Haha ~" Cheng Ming was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at the black iron needle and said, "You're only a fifth level Qi Refinement itinerant cultivator. Even if you have some secret skill to control the black iron needle … can you sneak attack a seventh level Qi Refinement cultivator? Can you kill a seventh level cultivator who's already prepared?"
"If Fellow Daoist Cheng doesn't believe me, you can try!" Le Chongqi sneered.
"Hahahaha ~" At this time, Cheng Ming actually raised his head and laughed. He shook his head slightly and said, "Itinerant cultivators, oh itinerant cultivators. As expected, they're all foolishly arrogant itinerant cultivators!
Don't think you're invincible just because you can use the black iron needle!
Right, Fellow Daoist Le, do you still remember the oath you made yesterday? "
Seeing Cheng Ming's abnormal behavior, Le Chongqi was stunned and his heart trembled. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I've long forgotten. If Fellow Daoist wants to know, think about it yourself!"
Then, he looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I have to stay away for a while and wait for the Huanhua Sect disciples. Fellow Daoist Cheng, farewell!"
"If you violate this oath, your spirit will no longer be at the mercy of others. You'll have to work like an ox or a horse for a hundred years!
Fellow Daoist Le, do you still remember? "
Cheng Ming sneered and slapped his hand. He took out a fist-sized, strange-looking bell from his storage bag!
"You …" Cheng Ming was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Ming activate his magic power and shake the bell slightly. "Ding, ding, ding." There was a soft sound. It was very ordinary, but the sound of the bell was like a bolt from the blue in Le Chongqi's ears. His heart was about to swell!
What made Le Chongqi the most nervous was that with the sound of the bell, he felt like his body was about to float!
"This …" Le Chongqi knew that this was definitely not his body floating. When he thought of Cheng Ming's oath, he suddenly realized that this feeling of floating … was probably the precursor to his soul leaving his body!
"You … When did you do this?" Le Chongqi calmed down in horror and asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, there's no time at all. I'll just strike Fellow Daoist Le's palm when I'm making the vow!"
Cheng Ming was obviously confident and said with a smile, "Of course, if Fellow Daoist Le keeps your oath, this Puppet Talisman will lose its effect after noon and won't affect you in the slightest!"
