Fei Qianqiong couldn’t help but sigh. The Blood-Toothed Cricket had always been his main fey. However, its Willpower Rune had been stripped away, and it had dropped from Fantasy III to a regular fey. Even if he still had the Diamond II/Fantasy II Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu, he couldn’t even reach 30% of his previous battle prowess.
Fei Qianqiong hurriedly channeled a large amount of spiritual power from his body into the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu, causing a red-gold luster to quickly light up on its body.
The silky and dazzling red-gold silk threads quickly shot out of the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu’s body and then tightly entwined, forming three red-gold ribbons covered with dark-red spots.
“Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu, use one strand of Mind Wall Ribbon in front of me and two in front of Listen!”
The Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu obviously hesitated a little when it heard its owner’s words. It didn’t understand why its contractor wanted to protect one of those people who had made a move on itself and the Blood-Toothed Cricket during the day.
However, due to its absolute obedience to Fei Qianqiong in a battle, the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu didn’t hesitate to do as it was told.
At that moment, the dark energy ripple approached and sent Fei Qianqiong and Listen flying.
Thanks to the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu’s Mind Wall Ribbon’s double protection, Listen felt that his blood energy was surging.
Since Fei Qianqiong had a layer less of protection from the Mind Wall Ribbon, crimson blood flowed out of his nose, staining his white beard due to the erosion of this dark energy ripple.
Fei Qianqiong stood up and said softly to Listen, “I’m ready to give it my all. I wouldn’t dare to guarantee how long I can hold this off. Summon your feys out and smash through the wall to escape.”
When Listen heard Fei Qianqiong’s words, he also looked at him deeply, just like how Fei Qianqiong had looked at him earlier.
However, Listen didn’t intend to escape. The king-class expert opposite of Fei Qianqiong was clearly much stronger than him.
Fei Qianqiong could barely handle the dark energy ripples created from the hunchbacked old man’s fey’s roar.
Even if he ran, how could he escape?
The appearance of this hunchbacked old man was different from Fei Qianqiong’s. The Mother of Bloodbath had discovered Fei Qianqiong’s traces, and he had shown up because its words had enraged him.
However, this old man had shown up after hearing the conversation between himself and Fei Qianqiong. The purpose of his appearance on behalf of the Zheng family should be to reap Listen’s life.
Although Listen wasn’t planning to run away, he still summoned his two feys. One of them was the Pain Illusory Fox that he had previously exchanged with Lin Yuan for source-type items and the Day and Night Spirit Silver, while the other was a three-tailed crimson fox with a very beautiful fur color. Its three fluffy tails at the back were like a blooming three-petaled crabapple.
At that moment, the hunchbacked old man said regretfully, “A Silver VII/Fantasy I Pain Illusory Fox and a Silver III/Fantasy I Three-Tailed Crimson Fox. It seems you did spend many resources on yourself during your time in control of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
“The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is such a small chamber of commerce. It should have taken a lot of effort to nurture a fey like yours!”
Listen’s expression remained the same, but he recalled his dead relatives. The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was now a small chamber of commerce, but not in the past.
He had been able to get a high-quality fey such as the Three-Tailed Crimson Fox because of his family’s unreserved devotion and care.
Listen also understood the importance of his strength for the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s development.
Therefore, after Listen had seen Lin Yuan’s trade message, he had been willing to take out source-type items in exchange for suitable high-quality Bronze feys.
Listen took a step forward toward the hunchbacked old man standing on the back of the Dark-Eyed Scorpion Tiger and said, “You came supposedly to kill me. Why don’t I give you the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, and you let Fei Qianqiong go?”
Fei Qianqiong widened his eyes and looked at Listen in confusion. Listen faintly raised his eyes at Fei Qianqiong and then at the Diamond II/Fantasy II Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu. He took a step forward and looked at the hunchbacked old man.
Fei Qianqiong understood what Listen meant. He was Listen’s servant. When he had sworn with the Willpower Rune, he had sworn a death contract for loyalty. If Listen died, Fei Qianqiong would also lose his life because of the Willpower Rune’s backlash.
Based on Listen’s instructions, Fei Qianqiong secretly channeled all the spirit qi in his body into the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu’s body without a trace, ready to wait for Listen’s next instructions.
The corners of Elder Niu’s mouth suddenly formed a smile as if he was mocking. His gaze at Listen also carried scrutiny and playfulness.
“Are you showing your master-servant relationship in front of me? It’s my first time seeing a master who would say something like being willing to die for his dog.
“Hehe, you guys don’t need such cheap tricks. The flow of spiritual power is as conspicuous as a splendid ribbon in front of my eyes.”
After saying that, Elder Niu threw his walking stick up, which changed its shape in mid-air and turned into a strange tadpole that was not even half the size of a palm. There were seven or eight nerve ducts at its sides, with compound eyes growing on each of them.
“With this Dark Spirit Eye Tadpole, not even the slightest change in spiritual power cannot escape my perception.
“Dark Spirit Eye Tadpole, use Dark Spirit Confinement.”
Just as this old man standing on the Dark-Eyed Scorpion Tiger spoke, the compound eyes on the Dark Spirit Eye Tadpole’s nerve ducts flickered, and the light in the entire room went dark.
Listen and Fei Qianqiong, who was channeling spiritual power into the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu, found that the spiritual power in their bodies seemed to have been confined.
Listen felt as if the spiritual power in his body had turned into a crystalline substance that simply couldn’t be used. Fei Qianqiong also felt that although the confined spiritual power in his body was not as difficult to use as crystals, it was no different than sticky asphalt.
At the same time, the flow of spiritual power in the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu’s body was so slow that the use of its previous instantaneous abilities now required a few seconds of preparation time.
Upon sensing this situation, Fei Qianqiong couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. It’s another fey that’s about to reach Suzerain.
How can this battle still be fought?
There’s simply no way!
