210: Human hearts are really dirty
Subsequently, Li Mu simply decided not to make a move and just watched them.
Given their escape speed, they were bound to be caught by the two Yao Beasts, and if they didn't join forces, it was likely that none of them would escape in the end!
Although these individuals embarked on the path of cultivation because of Li Mu.
However, the path to immortality is not always smooth sailing; Cultivators trained in such a way would not possess much combat power!
It still requires some extreme battles like these to fully unleash their abilities.
Now, their cultivation has improved significantly, and the Yao Beasts in the Small World of trials in the East Sea no longer provide much training benefit for them.
Moreover, those were things specially created to train combat skills, and the combat power of the Yao Beasts refreshed daily within them was not high.
If they trained there for too long and mistakenly believed that the Yao Beasts outside were the same as those in the Small World of trials, they would likely suffer a great loss.
Soon!
Hu Bingbing, Wang Cao, and Weng Qinghua were caught up by the two Yao Beasts from behind.
At this moment, the two Yao Beasts, one in front and one behind, blocked the trio's escape route.
Hu Bingbing looked at the enormous eagle-shaped Yao Beast blocking her path and instinctively tightened her grip on the fishing rod in her hand.
Wang Cao also, at this moment, summoned his "Divine Artifact."
With the bamboo strip in his hand, Wang Cao's Aura instantly changed.
From being utterly timid at first, he instantly transformed into a peerless swordsman, with an arrogant expression and a cold demeanor.
"Heh, must we fight? If so, then let's go! Let this Lord's Divine Artifact teach you two a lesson."
Wang Cao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and a crazed smile appeared on his face: "This Lord's blood is already boiling!"
"Indeed, only challenging those of higher cultivation can pique this Lord's interest slightly, hahaha..."
After speaking, Wang Cao charged towards the eagle in front of him.
He wielded the bamboo strip in his hand, bringing out streaks of Sword Qi that pierced towards the Yao Beast.
Seeing Wang Cao go, Weng Qinghua also quickly took out his dagger.
Are you kidding? His arch-rival has gone, how could he be timid? What right would he have to be Celestial Honored One Wang's lifelong enemy then!
Weng Qinghua, holding his dagger, also charged towards the eagle Yao Beast.
His Insight Eye instantly activated, and he saw the eagle Yao Beast's death line, so he unhesitatingly slashed towards it.
At this moment, Hu Bingbing, standing rooted to the spot, was utterly bewildered.
Looking at the two suddenly courageous chuunibyous, she still hadn't figured out what was going on with them.
Just now, when they were running for their lives together, each of them was as timid as she was, so why did they become even braver after being surrounded by Yao Beasts?
And...
Although Wang Cao's words were a bit chuunibyou-ish, as she listened, she felt her heart stir?
Hmm, this was her first time not debunking Wang Cao.
Then, she gritted her teeth.
Forget it, if I die, I die...
Then, with a wave of the fishing rod in her hand, Spiritual Qi poured into the rod through her palm, and the next second, the tip of the rod formed a fishing line and hook made entirely of Spiritual Qi.
At this moment, Li Mu, who was observing their situation, saw the fishing rod in Hu Bingbing's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Just now, he was only focused on checking their situation and hadn't noticed that Hu Bingbing's fishing rod was actually a Spiritual Root!
A Spiritual Bamboo of not low grade, likely found on the Mythical Continent, had already barely reached the level of a Medium Grade Spiritual Root.
It's probably because of this fishing rod that she met Wang Cao; that fellow Wang Cao is currently obsessed with finding bamboo Spiritual Roots.
Hu Bingbing's mind is quite flexible; she's learned to use wind to form a fishing line with extremely strong cutting ability and a fishing hook with the strength of Wind Blade.
When Hu Bingbing uses her full strength to activate her abilities, if she were to give the Yao Beast opposite her a full set, it would be cut into several pieces.
However, Li Mu then thought about it.
Rather than saying this was developed by Hu Bingbing herself, it's more accurate to say that the researchers, catering to Hu Bingbing's hobby, provided methods for using her abilities that could both satisfy her love for fishing and incorporate powerful lethality.
Hu Bingbing might just be using them according to the methods provided by those researchers.
However, it must be said that these techniques are all very practical.
When Hu Bingbing engaged in battle with the Yao Beast, she surprisingly found herself quite at ease for a time.
Hu Bingbing was facing another Yao Beast, a giant squirrel-shaped one.
When Hu Bingbing faced this Yao Beast alone, at first, this Yao Beast greatly looked down on Hu Bingbing, a human whose cultivation was weaker than its own.
But when it accidentally got one of its ears entangled by Hu Bingbing's fishing line, and Hu Bingbing pulled, directly tearing off its ear, a large amount of blood gushed out, making it bare its fangs in pain.
At this point, the Yao Beast began to shed its contempt for Hu Bingbing and also became very wary of the Spiritual Bamboo in Hu Bingbing's hand.
It became even more vigilant...
For a time, Hu Bingbing alone managed to hold off a Yao Beast, which bought Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua a lot of time.
Compared to the struggle on Hu Bingbing's side, the battle on Wang Cao's side was much more intense.
Various Sword Qi flew everywhere!
Wang Cao even used that unique move he had specially developed to deal with Weng Qinghua back then.
At the same time, Weng Qinghua was also coordinating.
Although Weng Qinghua was only at the Refining Qi Transformation, still a little short of the Middle Stage.
But Weng Qinghua's ability was simply too bizarre!
Every time he got close, he could make the eagle-shaped Yao Beast sense the threat of death.
However, every time it dodged Weng Qinghua's attack, the next second, a new wound from Wang Cao's Sword Qi would appear on its body.
A large amount of blood gushed from the wound, making the Yao Beast cry out in pain, yet it was helpless.
It never expected that these two humans, whose cultivation was even weaker than its own, would be so powerful when working together!
This made the eagle-shaped Yao Beast feel a burst of frustration internally.
You tell me, if you're all so powerful, why did you run before? It made this Yao Beast think you were very weak and wanted to bully you a bit.
Damn it!
Unexpectedly, you were actually setting a trap.
You led them to this place where no other Yao Beasts were present, and then you killed them all!
Human hearts are truly too dirty...
The eagle Yao Beast glanced at its companion and found that its companion was still being restrained by Hu Bingbing.
Moreover, one of its companion's ears on its head was missing, and blood was sizzling from the wound.
The eagle let out an angry cry, then spread its wings and flew high, intending to escape the battlefield.
As a result...
Seeing its movement, Wang Cao's face revealed a confident smile: "Heh heh, I've been waiting for you!"
After speaking, a large amount of Sword Qi instantly appeared in the sky.
With a wave of Wang Cao's hand, these Sword Qi suspended in the air instantly flew towards the eagle Yao Beast.
Because the distance was too close, coupled with its rapid flight towards the direction of these Sword Qi, it was completely unable to change direction in time.
The next second, it was pierced through by these Sword Qi.
Finally, it let out a mournful cry and then fell from the sky.
