Chapter 691: Chapter 618: Fishing with a Broken Hook (Combined Chapter)_2
A steaming white mist rose from the copper coins, which clearly carried considerable buoyancy, about to carry Xu Chuan away from Lou Yi.
He knew the other party was a Body Cultivator.
And according to the acquired information, his strength was formidable enough to kill demons that underwent a second bloodline transformation, absolutely not someone that his own First Level of the Spirit Platform could get close to and block.
’I must quickly spread the news; there might be a traitor in the team…’
As this thought flashed through Xu Chuan’s mind.
He was horrified to discover that his speed did not increase as expected but was crawling in the air like a snail.
The surrounding heavens and earth suddenly surged with an incomparable pressure, the air around him soared instantly to an unimaginable level by ordinary standards.
Some of the air around him burned like flames, some became flowing liquid, and even the light was significantly distorted.
His bones creaked all over, his skin began to concave, oozing a large amount of blood, making breathing somewhat difficult.
If it weren’t for the Protective Spirit Essence and the protective mana armor from the copper coins, he might have been directly crushed by this sudden pressure on the spot!
“How is this possible… Only a Master can control the heavens and earth…” Xu Chuan’s eyes showed immense horror.
Immediately afterward, a black shadow flashed before him.
“No!” A despairing roar resounded.
’Bang!’
Then, this genius of the Copper Coin sect was punched into a burst of bloody fireworks, his Divine Soul didn’t even get a chance to escape.
“Trying to ambush me?” Lou Yi shook his head.
It would be hard to find anyone capable of successfully setting an ambush for him in the entire First Layer of the abyss.
After all, he possessed an extraordinarily perverse divination ability, capable of predicting good and bad fortune and concealing heavenly secrets.
And as his contact with the abyss deepened, the effect of his divination ability had become very close to that of the primary world.
As for who was targeting him, Lou Yi already had an inkling of the answer in his heart.
“However, Lu Yun and his team acted as accomplices, and they already have a way of courting death.” Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in Lou Yi’s eyes.
He looked at the Attribute Panel before him where notifications were constantly flashing, opened the prompt:
’Discovered pickable items, you may select one of the following three options:
points of Energy
Cultivation Technique: Copper Coin Technique
Slight enhancement of Gold Element Affinity
Would you like to select?’
Clearly, the Copper Coin Technique was a unique cultivation technique of the Copper Coin sect.
Although the Five Elements Magic did not greatly enhance Lou Yi’s current strength, he was not lacking in energy now, choosing the magic was undoubtedly the most cost-effective.
He casually upgraded the Copper Coin Technique to the proficient realm, and the string of copper coins in Xu Chuan’s Storage Bag started to skillfully rotate around the shoulders of Lou Yi.
’Whizz,’ a copper coin flew out.
It shattered a hard piece of rock beneath his feet, exhausting a tiny bit of Lou Yi’s Spiritual Power.
’Better than nothing,’ Lou Yi thought, then turned to leave the scene.
As for the remains of Xu Chuan’s body, even his clothes and other traces disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.
Forty-three miles from that spot, several black shadows were quietly ambushed on a brown-red small hill.
After a long time, a black shadow said impatiently, “Why haven’t he come yet, it’s been so long…”
“I just now seemed to hear a slight explosion… in the area a few dozen miles ahead, like the sound made during a confrontation.”
“Damn monkey, you should have said earlier!”
“It was too far away, not very clear, I’m just not very certain either.” That voice said somewhat sheepishly.
“Oh, quickly go inform Lu Yun, let him send someone else to handle things!”
“Yes, sir!”
…
After killing Xu Chuan, Lou Yi returned to the team.
“How come Ah Shu returned so quickly?” Elder Gui said puzzled.
“That fat man had ill intentions; he tried to lure me to another place to harm, was killed by me casually.” Lou Yi did not hide, speaking truthfully.
Upon hearing this, the others in the team were startled.
“That scoundrel Lu Yun, I always said he had ulterior motives!
Offering diligence for no reason, either treacherous or thieving!” Elder Gui said furiously.
“Why did he only target Liu Shu?” He Uncle fell into doubt.
“No matter the reason, anyone trying to harm our team is unacceptable!” The yellow-faced man Qin Dong said coldly.
“Next, there might be more people trying to lure me over,” Lou Yi said with a smile, “You can pretend you don’t know.
Right now, our team’s strength is still inferior to Lu Yun’s team, it’s not advisable to put conflicts in the open.”
Sure enough, before long, another person from Lu Yun’s team came to invite Lou Yi.
The reason was the same as Xu Chuan’s, calling him to attend that ridiculous ’Enlightenment Assembly.’
This was a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with a long and narrow face, his eyes looked as sharp as those of a falcon.
The aura appeared noticeably much stronger than Xu Chuan, almost not inferior to Elder Gui and Qin Dong.
Lou Yi heard Elder Gui’s voice: “That fellow is Chu Sa, a Wind Element Cultivator, Third Level of the Spirit Platform.”
Third Level of the Spirit Platform, Lou Yi, at present, could hardly cope, this time he didn’t take the bait, directly refusing the invitation.
Chu Sa was not surprised, knowing that the first failure made the other party vigilant, then asked: “Did Xu Chuan come over earlier?”
“Didn’t see him.” Lou Yi lied with wide-eyed innocence, causing Chu Sa’s eyes to become much darker.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, really not considering attending the Enlightenment Assembly? This time there is a Body Cultivator of the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Platform passing on knowledge.” Chu Sa was reluctant, continuing to invite,
“This matter the Golden Evil Child folks also know about, considering it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“Thank Fellow Daoist Lu on my behalf for his kindness, I’ll surely express my gratitude in the future.” Lou Yi shook his head refusing.
“Alright, hope Fellow Daoist Liu won’t regret it later.” Chu Sa nodded, turned, and returned to the gray mist.
After walking ten miles, another figure approached.
“How was it?”
“He’s vigilant now, won’t take the bait easily.”
“Now it’s difficult, that master is still waiting, can’t make him wait too long…”
“No big deal, we will watch from the side. Once Liu Shu separates from their team, I’ll cast a Silent Annihilation Wind on this boy…” Chu Sa said with a cold laugh,
“It’s a rare opportunity that neither the Golden Evil Child nor the Sun-devouring Demon Concubine is around, Fellow Daoist Lu is still trying hard to delay time, this is the best opportunity to capture this boy.”
“Your famous spell Silent Annihilation Wind, can corrode souls, dismantle bones, even a Third Level of the Spirit Platform Body Cultivator can’t resist, once hit can’t help but be captured.
Let alone this boy whose combat power is at most Second Layer Spirit Platform.” The shadow praised, then hesitatingly said, “Why doesn’t that master take action personally?”
“If it stir up too much commotion, the Demon Clan’s aggressive act of capturing people on the Human Race’s Su District territory spreads, it could cause a huge uproar.
Not only it, even the Trench Patrol Guest wouldn’t come out well.
Unless there’s an assurance to kill all of Golden Evil Child’s team instantly, it’s still safer relying on us to lure…”
For the next few hours, these two shadows concealed their aura, lurking beside, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
At some moment, they saw the Body Cultivator somewhat separated from the rest of the team.
The distance between several people exceeded the visible range within the gray mist.
’Great opportunity!’ Chu Sa’s eyes brightened, beginning to brew magic.
’Wooosh!’
A chilling, soul-corrosive gray-blue storm unexpectedly appeared in mid-air, swiftly enveloping the unguarded Body Cultivator.
The Body Cultivator froze, his eyes instantly became dazed, standing motionless.
“Hit by my Silent Annihilation Wind, even Golden Core would feel a bit dizzy.” Chu Sa said with confidence, smiling.
Then with a flick of his sleeve, a breeze easily swept the Body Cultivator to his and his companion’s side, about to take him away.
Suddenly, he saw the Body Cultivator who should be bound and motionless turn to look at him, his eyes deep and cold.
“Not good!” Chu Sa exclaimed.
’Boom!’
A thunderous sound resounded across the four directions.
Large amounts of gray mist in the sky were pushed to the distance by spiraling newly emerged red whirlwinds, briefly forming a vacuum.
“Not good, they are moving against Ah Shu!”
The whereabout team not far away, including Elder Gui and others, heard the loud noise, were startled and angry.
Rushed desperately toward the source of the commotion.
