Chapter 1019: Critical Moment
Chapter 1019: Critical Moment
Zheng-Fu had expected that the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity would speak to him like this. So, he had already thought and prepared words to deal with the situation. His words seemed to be sympathetic, but it was more like the words of a thief in a luxurious uniform.
"It's not that I don't want to give you more. All I have left in this world is some of my energy and the Emerald Shell Armor. But my Emerald Shell Armor is going to be taken away soon. If you want it, you must use your abilities to snatch it back. And to go out, you've to answer my question first!"
Emerald Turtle Monster Deity would like to give Zheng-Fu more items as well. But his magic item was secretly connected by someone. And now that person was about to steal it from him. Zheng-Fu had to take it back, but he had to get out of this place first by answering the question correctly.
"Please ask me now!" Zheng-Fu nodded and listened seriously.
"My question is neither difficult nor easy. 'Who can be trusted and who can't be trusted?' Just answer me, you'll pass my test!" Emerald Turtle Monster Deity immediately questioned Zheng-Fu.
Who can be trusted and who can't be trusted!?
Erm...
"This question can be answered in many ways. But for me, I'd like to answer that it is 'myself'. Because I can trust myself. And at the same time, I cannot be trusted. That's because our minds are often fickle, or think one thing and do another!" Zheng-Fu did not waste long thinking about the answer. Because to him, he was both the most trustworthy and unreliable at the same time.
Umm!
"Your answer is very simple. But it's correct. Only we can be trusted, and we cannot be trusted at the same time. Because everyone has secrets and fickleness. Therefore, this answer is correct!"
Emerald Turtle Monster Deity had already thought that Zheng-Fu would give him a satisfactory answer. And it really was. So, when Zheng-Fu was able to answer his question, it was considered that he passed the test.
"I'll send you back outside to meet your comrades. And remember, you must take back the Emerald Shell Armor. Because my will is in it!"
Groooaaan!!!
Hah!
When the Emerald Turtle Monster Deity finished speaking, he immediately sent Zheng-Fu back out to the same location that had brought him in in the first place.
Thump!
Hah!?
As soon as Zheng-Fu came back out, he felt a fierce battle not far away. He sensed that Jin-Tian and Guo-Dong's group were also there. But what made him feel uneasy was that someone in the group was seriously injured.
Whoosh!
Zheng-Fu, therefore, did not hesitate to head to the clashing point at his highest speed.
At the area where the collision occurred...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Really crazy!
"I didn't think that this crazy boy would be this strong. Although we use tactical formation, we still can't fight him. If the Group Leader were here too, we would have defeated him!" A middle-aged man in the mysterious group said worriedly. Because his side had already lost many people.
"Be patient a little longer! Now the Group Leader is coming back. We have to hold on. As for the rest, go deal with the weak ones first!" The elder, who was previously waiting outside, also joined the battle now. Because the first group of great skilled masters could not fight Jin-Tian. So, they had to give their all to help get rid of Jin-Tian. But even then, they still could not defeat him.
As for Jin-Tian, although he was much stronger than the enemies, because he had to take care of others at the same time, he could not concentrate on dealing with them well enough.
"Master Guo-Dong, quickly take everyone away first. I'll handle here myself!" Jin-Tian saw that the situation was getting worse. His side was starting to be at a disadvantage to the enemies. He, therefore, quickly cleared the way for Guo-Dong and the group to flee first.
"We understand. But Boon-Leng and Qiu-Zhen were seriously injured. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!" Guo-Dong also thought as Jin-Tian said. They should flee. But Boon-Leng and Qiu-Zhen were seriously injured because they had brought themselves in to block the attack to protect Xi-Dian, the weakest in the group.
Huh!
Jin-Tian was very annoyed at not being able to do anything more. And if he still can't destroy the enemies' tactical formation, other people may not survive because he would not be able to help them in time.
Groooaaan!!!
"Don't even dream of escaping, you dirty rats! Today, you all will die here!" But suddenly, a great skilled master from the mysterious group shouted and unleashed an energy wave to attack Guo-Dong's group, who were thinking of escaping from there.
Yaaaaaaa!!!
"As long as I'm here, don't think that anyone can hurt them!"
[White Tiger Monster Deity Spear Skill: First Stance; Tiger Penetrates Ten Directions]
Groan!!!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jin-Tian's first stance of White Tiger Monster Deity Spear Skill blocked the middle-aged great skilled master's attack in time. But he had to waste a lot of energy to increase the power of this stance.
Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whooooosh!
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
Hah!?
Leader!!!
Immediately, the surrounding atmosphere changed and became heavier, along with a figure slowly approaching. And when everyone turned to look at the mysterious newcomer, all the great skilled masters of the mystery group let out a shout of joy. Because this person was the group leader they were waiting for.
"I never thought there would be a great skilled master this strong here. Looking at your energy, you must be at the sixth or seventh level of the Deity Stage, right?" The middle-aged newcomer walked over and stopped beside the elder before asking Jin-Tian with an evil smile.
..................................?
But Jin-Tian did not answer. He could feel that the middle-aged demon monster's strength was not inferior to his own. So he had to concentrate and focus on him.
"Aren't you answering? Ha ha ha! Never mind! But it's such a pity that you have to die today. If possible, I'd like to have you as my subordinate. But looking at your expression, you probably won't give in easily. So..."
[White Tiger Monster Deity Spear Skill: First Stance; Tiger Penetrates Ten Directions]
But before the middle-aged demon monster could finish speaking, Jin-Tian attacked him first. Because he knew that it would not be good for him to delay further.
Hah!?
Huh!
Seeing that Jin-Tian attacked first, the middle-aged demon monster only felt slightly shocked before a smile curled his lips. It was as if he did not see Jin-Tian's attack in his sight. So, he stood still and did not dodge.
Whoosh!!!
Leader!
Bong!!!
Ah!
But his subordinates could not remain calm. Everyone knew how powerful Jin-Tian's attack was. They were worried about their group leader, who refused to dodge. But before the tip of Jin-Tian's spear reached the middle-aged demon monster's body, it suddenly stopped as if it had collided with something. And that caused a loud sound that echoed throughout the entire cave.
Qi armor!?
Jin-Tian instantly realized that the other party was using some kind of Qi armor skill. In front of the middle-aged demon monster, an emerald green tortoiseshell-shaped Qi armor appeared, blocking Jin-Tian's White Tiger Spear.
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
How wonderful!
Really awesome!
The middle-aged demon monster suddenly laughed out loud with satisfaction like a madman. Before he praised the Qi armor that he used to block Jin-Tian's attacks.
"Leader! Or is that armor..." The elder exclaimed, before asking.
"Yes! Deity Treasure must be like this. Not only will I receive the Deity Treasure. My energy level also increased. With these, I won't have to be afraid of that idiot who claims himself to be the Great Master anymore. Ha ha ha!" The middle-aged demon monster nodded to the elder and spoke proudly of what he had received. Before he talked displeasedly about the demon monster who had everyone call himself Great Master.
"Congratulations, Leader! We'll follow you forever!" The elder hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged demon monster and said humbly.
"So do we, sir!"
Good! Good! Good!
The appearance of this middle-aged demon monster caused Jin-Tian to feel extremely overwhelmed. Just facing this group of great skilled masters was difficult for him to deal with. Moreover, there was also a demon monster with the same energy level as him and possessing Deity Treasure, it was even more difficult for him. Even though his spear was also a Deity Treasure, it could not do anything to the other party.
"Master Guo-Dong, you quickly take this opportunity to take everyone away. I'll hold out here for as long as possible!" Jin-Tian saw that there was a chance for Guo-Dong's group to escape, so he secretly sent a message to Guo-Dong via telepathy.
Ah!
Guo-Dong only nodded lightly in response and did not ask anything. Before he turned to tell Lu-Qun and his sister that they had to leave from there, moreover, they had to carry Boon-Leng and Qiu-Zhen together.
Huh!
"Are you thinking of running away? Dream on!" The middle-aged demon monster saw Guo-Dong signaling with the group, he did not hesitate to raise his hand and launch an attack at them.
[Hand of the Sea Devours Everything Skill]
Whooooosh!!!
"Go over my corpse first!" Of course, Jin-Tian himself would not allow such a thing to happen. He quickly rushed out to block the middle-aged man's attack.
[White Tiger Monster Deity Spear Skill: First Stance; Tiger Penetrates Ten Directions]
Groan!!!
Swooosh! Swooosh! Swooosh!
Booooom!!!
Groooaaan!!!
Both skills were high-level skills. Therefore, when they collided with each other, a shock wave was so strong and violent that the cave walls would not stop shaking. Besides Jin-Tian and the middle-aged demon monster, the others bounced away.
"Hurry up! This is the opportunity!"
Of course, the impact of this collision helped Guo-Dong's group increase their distance from the point of collision. So, Jin-Tian shouted to Guo-Dong to hurry up.
Umm!
Although Guo-Dong, Lu-Qun, and Xi-Dian still would not be able to balance well, the three of them forced themselves to carry Boon-Leng and Qiu-Zhen away.
"Deal with them!"
Yes, sir, Leader!!!
The middle-aged demon monster also did not miss the opportunity. He immediately ordered his subordinates to kill Guo-Dong's group. Because right now, Jin-Tian was fighting against him, he would not be able to leave to help them.
Damn it!
Jin-Tian wanted to go help them. But he was blocked by a middle-aged demon monster, and he could not dodge or move anywhere.
Ha ha ha!
Die!!!
Just die, you worthless trash!!!
The great skilled masters who were responsible for hunting and killing Guo-Dong and his group were very energetic and invigorated. They all aimed for the vital points of the five. However, someone also looked at Xi-Dian with lustful eyes. Because if Xi-Dian were human, she would have been known as one of the most beautiful women in the city.
FLOOF!!!
But at that moment, some energy suddenly rushed through the group of the great skilled masters who were hunting them.
What's that... Auuugh!
Auuuuugh!!!
Ah!
Aaaaaah! Aaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaah!
The great skilled masters immediately let out painful screams along with a large amount of blood gushing out from their bodies, until the surrounding area turned red. Before their arms and legs, which were severed from their bodies, floated along the water.
Hah!?
"Who are you?!"
Master!
Le-Fu!!!
