119: Kill three people in a row and escape from danger (Part 1)
Chen Cuo knew that the Ziyang Sect was also one of the fifteen forces involved in the Jueling Realm, but he didn't know Mr. Luo Chuan. He probably thought he was the person the Ziyang Sect sent to guide people in the Extreme West Land this time!
However, he was alone, with no one by his side. What had happened?
Regardless, seeing the other party's disheveled and poor state, Bai Tang had no intention of dealing with him. She directly pretended not to see him, frantically piloting the flying shuttle, changing direction, and fleeing.
But the other party seemed to have used some secret technique, and his escape speed was extremely fast. The gray-white escape light also changed direction, with a clear target, rushing straight towards them.
"He's not coming with good intentions!" Chen Cuo muttered softly, a strange feeling rising in his heart, and he rubbed his palms together, feeling a bit excited.
Chen Cuo's Divine Sense was powerful, but his eyesight had only been trained with some Martial Skills and he didn't have any Spirit Eye Spells. However, he could still detect two other extremely fast figures further away, who clearly seemed to be chasing Mr. Luo Chuan.
Under Mr. Luo Chuan's desperate acceleration, he had managed to open up a large gap, but they still followed relentlessly, like tigers pursuing their prey, slowly chasing Mr. Luo Chuan, waiting for him to expose a weakness before delivering a fatal blow.
Seeing Mr. Luo Chuan still approaching her side, Bai Tang felt gloomy, but she wasn't flustered. With her Great Perfection Qi Cultivation, she might not be unable to fight a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator. However, she had to protect White Egret and the three Immortal Seeds, so she dared not be careless.
She pushed the flying shuttle to its maximum speed, initially not wanting to deal with Mr. Luo Chuan, but since he was relentless, she could only take action.
After pondering in her mind, she no longer held back. While simultaneously controlling the flying shuttle, a fiery red Talisman was thrown into the air. The faint magical light burst forth, transforming into raging flames. Within the flames, a cry suddenly appeared, long and melodious, resounding from the air, as a flying bird burning with crimson flames emerged.
"Crimson Fire Bird, this is a Beast Soul Talisman!" Chen Cuo, who studied Talismans, also knew that besides Talisman Treasures, there was a special type of Talisman in the cultivation world called a Beast Soul Talisman, which could only be refined by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This type of Talisman required at least the capture of a first-order Yao Beast. Its skin was used to make the Talisman paper, its blood to draw the runes, and its soul was sealed within, to be used by others. It could almost preserve the power of a Yao Beast of the same order, though, of course, a portion of its power would inevitably be weakened.
But it also had many benefits. For example, Qi Cultivators could buy one to save their lives, and it could be controlled. If one had a second-order Beast Soul Talisman, it would be equivalent to possessing Foundation Establishment combat power.
This Talisman was given by White Jade Orchid to Bai Tang for self-preservation.
The Crimson Fire Bird was a second-order Early Stage Yao Beast, naturally possessing powerful fire control abilities. However, since it appeared in the form of a Beast Soul, it seemed a bit sluggish, and its strongest aspect, its Physical Body, no longer existed.
But this Talisman was cast instantly, surprising Mr. Luo Chuan, who was hot on their heels. Before he could react, a scorching line of fire shot towards his head and face.
The Crimson Fire Bird didn't give him time to react and had already lunged at him. The opponent's speed momentarily slowed, but Mr. Luo Chuan's reaction was also swift. He dodged a fire attack and pulled out a brocade fabric radiating a shimmering light, covering himself with it, rendering the Crimson Fire Bird's flames useless.
Then he took out a brilliant golden bowl, which instantly enveloped the entire Crimson Fire Bird. As he activated the bowl, chanting sounds resonated around it, clearly a Buddhist Magic Treasure.
The Crimson Fire Bird's physical form was gone, only its soul remained, and it was being suppressed by the bowl. In less than two breaths, it transformed back into a fiery red Talisman, its spiritual light dim.
"What do you mean, young friend? I merely wanted to hitch a ride on your flying shuttle. Why resort to attacking me with blades and swords!"
The sound transmission technique carried his voice far.
While Mr. Luo Chuan said this, his heart was filled with resentment. He truly hadn't expected this Bai Family girl to be so decisive, daring to attack him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, before he even got close.
The momentary delay allowed the pursuers behind him to get closer, while he moved further away from the flying shuttle.
"Damn it, I originally planned to give you a quick death, but now, I want you to die a horrible one!"
Mr. Luo Chuan grumbled angrily, exhaled a long breath, put away the shrunken Talisman and Magical Artifact, and his speed increased by several points.
Bai Tang paid no attention to Mr. Luo Chuan's words. Did he think she was a three-year-old child? No one would believe such words!
Originally, the distance between them was quite significant, but unexpectedly, Mr. Luo Chuan managed to burst forth with power, and the distance actually closed significantly.
Mr. Luo Chuan no longer concealed himself and roared directly, "Stay here!"
The shimmering brocade suddenly expanded, like the legendary Hun Tian Ling, and violently wrapped around the flying shuttle. Bai Tang turned around, activating two fire Spells, which struck the brocade but were like mud oxen entering the sea, having no effect whatsoever.
"Fire resistance?" Bai Tang muttered, realizing the situation was bad. This brocade, made of an unknown material, was actually impervious to flames.
Chen Cuo watched the two exchange blows without any sign of urgency. Instead, he was intrigued, his eyes filled with amusement as he observed their methods of manipulating magical power.
When Bai Tang first saw him, she practically had malice written all over her face. It was fine to let her suffer a bit!
Mr. Luo Chuan had been famous for a long time, and his attacks were seasoned and vicious. The direction of the brocade's entanglement invariably caused the flying shuttle's speed to plummet, yet he quickly closed in, and the situation became increasingly critical.
Just then, Bai Tang swallowed a Medicinal Pill, and her Aura suddenly surged, increasing dramatically. She pulled out a jade hairpin that had been tucked into her hair, and her magical power poured out, frantically injecting into it. The jade hairpin glowed with boundless green light, growing with the wind, instantly transforming into a small emerald sword.
A second-order High Grade Magical Artifact, the Emerald Sword Hairpin. As Disciples of Lingbao Mountain, each of them was wealthy, especially Foundation Establishment Seeds from Families like Bai Tang, who were always generously nurtured.
"You motherfucker!" Mr. Luo Chuan cursed. To think that he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, only had two second-order Medium Grade Magical Artifacts, the golden bowl and the brocade.
A Family Disciple who hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment actually had three second-order treasures on her, and even a High Grade Magical Artifact. Lingbao Mountain Disciples were indeed rolling in wealth.
The Emerald Sword Hairpin ignored his anger and instead, with extreme speed, cut through the brocade, continuing to slash towards Mr. Luo Chuan. Even if he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, taking that blow head-on would result in either death or severe injury.
Mr. Luo Chuan's face showed pain. He put away the brocade and used the bowl to forcefully resist the attack of the Emerald Sword Hairpin. The golden bowl, made of an unknown material, was extremely sturdy.
The magical green light on the sword hairpin, capable of cutting iron like mud, was unable to penetrate the thick golden shadow on the golden bowl.
Ultimately, it was still lacking in sustained power. After all, Bai Tang had not yet reached Foundation Establishment. If she were to contend with Mr. Luo Chuan, she would certainly suffer a disadvantage.
Bai Tang voluntarily withdrew her hand, and the sword hairpin flew back. She said, "Mr. Luo Chuan, why must you be so aggressive? With pursuers behind you, wouldn't it be better if we went our separate ways?"
Bai Tang tried to maintain her composure, but her face had already turned pale. Even White Egret could tell that Bai Tang was in a bad situation at the moment.
"Heh, if you had voluntarily offered your flying shuttle just now, perhaps I could have spared you. But now, you've wasted five years of my life, and all of you must die!"
Mr. Luo Chuan instantly advanced another two li, wrapping his hand in the brocade and striking the flying shuttle. The lives of several people were within his grasp. Bai Tang immediately reached into her embrace, preparing to use her final resort.
But before he could act, a crimson streak of light suddenly ignited towards Mr. Luo Chuan's body. Mr. Luo Chuan hadn't expected that the seemingly ordinary martial artist beside Bai Tang would dare to attack him.
It's just, why is he so stupid...?
"That brocade has fire resistance, are you trying to die?!" Bai Tang cursed Chen Cuo in her heart for being foolish. The shimmering brocade had blocked the flames twice just now. What was the use of activating flames again? It would be better to save her magical power for other attacks, which might even buy her a little time.
Chen Cuo ignored her. The crimson streak of light landed on the brocade and instantly ignited fiercely.
"What's going on?!"
Mr. Luo Chuan was shocked and incredulous. "What kind of fire is this? Is it a Heavenly Spirit Fire?!"
His brocade was not afraid of magical true fire, and its fire resistance gave him a natural advantage when dealing with fire-attributed Cultivators. However, this brocade was ultimately a second-order Magical Artifact, not a third-order Magic Treasure.
No matter how powerful it was, it had its limits. The magical true fire was not very powerful, and he could defend against it, but if it were a Heavenly Spirit Fire, it would be difficult to guard against!
The flames emitted by Chen Cuo ignited upon contact, and when they landed on the brocade, they had a tenacious quality, as if they were determined to completely incinerate his brocade.
Chen Cuo's magical true fire was not a Heavenly Spirit Fire, but it had the power of a Spirit Fire. When his magical power transformation was complete, the primordial magical power in his body was already far superior to Qi Cultivators of the same stage. And with the blessing of the innate Five Elements circulation, the magical true fire, layered with the intent of circulation, had a hint of Five Elements True Fire, burning everything.
Mr. Luo Chuan's mind was horrified. In an instant, more than half of the brocade was scorched. He was extremely pained and hastily put it into his Storage Pouch at his waist.
After all, it wasn't true Five Elements True Fire. Once it left the external space, Chen Cuo's magical true fire extinguished.
Mr. Luo Chuan recovered and looked at Chen Cuo. Only then did he realize that this martial artist was actually a Qi Cultivator of the eleventh layer, and he also possessed such terrifying Spirit Fire. His heart tightened, and he immediately decided to escape. Both of them were extremely difficult to deal with.
But the moment he turned around, his heart suddenly jolted, and a sense of unease came over him!
He seemed to have been in a daze for a moment, his expression blank for a second, as if he saw countless Yao Beasts and demons, accompanied by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, charging towards him.
The next moment, without any warning, a large hole had burst open in his chest. A Flying Sword, as if not of this world, without a trace of light, passed through his chest.
Xiao Bai used her innate Illusion Skill. White Egret couldn't bear it and had completely fainted, while Bai Tang was completely stunned. That was Mr. Luo Chuan, a battle-hardened Foundation Establishment big shot. How could he be pierced through the heart by this martial artist beside her?
"How is that possible?" She seemed to doubt her own eyes until Mr. Luo Chuan fell to the ground unwillingly, bringing her back to reality.
Chen Cuo showed no surprise, only muttering in his heart, "Five Elements circulation enhances the power of the Slaughter Heart Sword. How can it not be strong!"
