Chapter 86 : Let Me Show You Something Interesting
It was impossible for Third Senior Brother, currently in prison, to come retrieve it himself. Chu Sang thought for a moment and brought out Xiao Bai, "Senior, why don't you take a look at this one?"
"Awoo awoo~"
Xiao Bai had drunk Mu Changqing's blood, so it would carry some of his aura to some extent.
"A Devouring Beast......" the man marveled, "This is quite a rare spirit beast. I didn't expect you to be able to subdue a proud Devouring Beast as your spirit pet. You do have some skill indeed."
"This little beast does carry that blood's scent, but even so, it doesn't prove anything."
"How do I know this blood was given to you willingly, rather than you killing him to take it?" He snorted coldly, his face mocking, "The last fellow who came also swore up and down, but I discovered he was from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan."
"They're quite eager for the previous Demon Emperor's lineage's demon bone and blood. The previous Demon Emperor died at their hands. How can you guarantee this blood wasn't taken from the previous Demon Emperor's corpse?"
"Then how would Senior be willing to give the bone?" Ling Yu asked gently.
The man paid more attention to him, frowning slightly. After a moment, he said indifferently, "Whether you're truly sent by someone or harboring evil intentions makes no difference to me."
"There's only one way to take the bone—unless you defeat me."
As his words fell, he poured his Divine Transformation stage pressure fully onto the four. The terrifying pressure weighed down on their spines like a mountain. The four's faces suddenly turned pale, cold sweat breaking out. Their knees buckled, and they involuntarily fell to their knees.
"Clang!" Chu Sang thrust her long sword fiercely into the ground behind her, swallowing the sweetness in her throat. Make her kneel? In the next life!
"Second Senior Brother!"
The blade intent instantly attacked from behind the man. Chu Sang had previously given everyone a stack of weight-reducing talismans, which could reduce the suppression of Divine Transformation stage pressure on them.
The white-robed man sneered. To still have the mind for a sneak attack in this situation, truly... bold enough!
He didn't even turn to look, waving his hand to send a spiritual energy attack that heavily collided with the blade. The blade intent instantly crumbled. Ling Yu's eyes widened for a moment. He hurriedly threw out a defense, barely withstanding the residual spiritual energy wave. Otherwise, even his Nascent Soul could have been shattered.
Without another word, Chu Sang released Hong Niang. Thousands upon thousands of silver-white silk threads interwove in the air, causing the man's movements to pause for a moment. She seized the opportunity swiftly, attacking with Tantai Ming from left and right.
Both were at the Golden Core stage, but with the enhancement of sharp Sword Intent, this attack could be comparable to a Nascent Soul stage strike.
It wouldn't severely injure the man, but causing some flesh wounds was no problem.
The moment after the two were sent flying by the man's sleeve, Ling Yu followed closely. The blade intent in his hand, full of killing aura, was in stark contrast to his personal appearance. Although most of the attacks were neutralized by the man's protective spiritual energy, they still left several bloodstains on his white robe.
Wen Renyue also summoned several demon beasts to harass him from time to time along with Hong Niang.
"...How annoying." The white-robed man looked irritated.
Defeating a few juniors was no more than lifting a finger for him, but too many ants could be quite bothersome.
Chu Sang wanted to wear him down with a rotation battle, but after the previous two sneak attacks, the man was clearly taking it seriously this time. The moment her attack fell, the opponent's figure suddenly vanished, appearing in mid-air. A huge palm formed of condensed spiritual energy appeared in the air, heavily slapping down towards the people and beasts below.
"Quick, dodge!" The Golden Armor Talismans on their bodies didn't even have a moment to take effect before turning to dust in the blink of an eye.
Chu Sang swiftly stuck a speed talisman on herself. The moment the attack fell, her figure vanished, appearing dozens of meters away. The next second, their previous position was smashed into a crater several meters deep.
Dust flew everywhere. Before she could react, she felt a chill behind her. A golden giant palm slapped towards her.
Chu Sang gritted her teeth. Why was this senior so unsportsmanlike, always targeting her? She was clearly the weakest among them.
Chu Sang's intuition wasn't wrong. The man indeed paid extra attention to this crafty little girl. After all, he had the fortune to watch several of her battles. He really couldn't let his guard down around her!
After several rounds, Chu Sang was jumping up and down, getting beaten quite miserably.
No matter how tricky she was, she was still just a small Golden Core stage. The opponent was a Divine Transformation stage powerhouse.
She couldn't fight him. There was no way to fight!
If the opponent was only one realm higher than her, she could indeed try her luck with some small tricks and cleverness. But with two major realms between them, the gap was like a vast chasm. Any technique seemed so laughable and powerless in the face of absolute strength.
"Little Junior Sister, I'll help you!" Tantai Ming raised his sword to charge, but after being slapped away, he struggled to get up from the ground, "Little Junior Sister, let's surrender!"
"......" Chu Sang lowered her gaze, ignoring this idiot. She turned and pulled out a machine gun, shouldering it and firing hundreds of shots at the man.
The other side seemed to have never seen such a novel magical treasure. He was stunned for a moment, finally allowing her to succeed in a sneak attack. Hundreds of spiritual energy bombs fell on his shoulder, as brilliant and beautiful as fireworks, exploding violently.
...Did it work?!
Before she could rejoice, the next second, the man walked out of the dust unscathed. Apart from his chest clothes being slightly disheveled, he was unharmed.
Damn, she had even brought out her life-saving Gatling gun, but the other side was too uncooperative.
The white-robed man wore a smile of having everything under control. His seemingly unhurried steps actually covered great distances instantly. In a moment, he blocked her path, his palm condensing vast spiritual power, "I know you have many tricks. I can see everything you've done in the secret realm... but these little tricks are useless against me. Don't waste your efforts."
He hadn't conversed with living people for many years. He did hold back a bit during the battle, playing with them for a while.
But now, he was also bored. It was time to deal with these jumping ants.
"There's one more you definitely haven't seen." She stopped running, confidently reaching for the storage bag at her waist.
The man's heart unexpectedly felt a rare sense of foreboding. Seeming to recall something, he sneered, "You mean your little Devouring Beast's domain?"
"I'm just a wisp of remnant soul, long merged with the secret realm. Your domain is useless against me."
"No, let me show you something more interesting." Without another word, she pulled out a black flag from her storage bag and unfurled it.
The moment the Hundred Ghosts Banner appeared, thick black qi and poisonous miasma filled the entire space.
Cultivators hate this kind of heterodox demonic aura the most. What surprised the man most was that several dozen Nascent Soul stage Ghost Kings appeared, frantically attacking him.
Damn it!
How did this stinky girl still have this move??!
The man's face suddenly sank. He really hadn't expected her to have this trump card up her sleeve. Chu Sang hadn't used the Hundred Ghosts Banner in the secret realm before. A trump card, of course, is used when one is at the end of their rope.
It's not difficult for a Divine Transformation stage to deal with Nascent Soul stage, but these Ghost Kings were quite troublesome. No matter how he hit them, they wouldn't die.
Every time he dispersed them with spiritual energy, these Ghost Kings would quickly reassemble after a few breaths. No matter how he fought, he couldn't kill them. Instead, they seemed to multiply the more he fought.
The man was extremely frustrated. Weren't these little fellows cultivators? Didn't we cultivators always pride ourselves on being upright and righteous? How could they use such treacherous and cunning things?
"Is this all you've got?" He tried to mock a few words to save face.
"Fun, isn't it?"
Chu Sang grinned, "Uncle, want to see something even bigger?"
