“He Qun!”
Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but frown.
So, Lu Shu didn’t lie to him, this guy was indeed a problem.
“You’re biting the hand that feeds you!”
The Loose Cultivator brothers’ expressions changed dramatically upon laying eyes on He Qun and his two companions. It was clear they hadn’t anticipated He Qun daring to tail them.
But when they saw the two people emerging from behind He Qun, they understood his motivations.
“You South Mountain Thieves are still not completely wiped out in Yun Meng Ze!”
Chen Mobai recognized the three men He Qun was with, even though he didn’t know the names of the other two, he had seen them before.
They were the advanced Qi Cultivators invited aboard the Liu family’s Ice Breaking Ship to deal with the Demonic Beasts.
He didn’t know the exact relationship these two Loose Cultivators had with the trio of He Qun, but after hearing their conversation, he had a rough idea in mind.
It seems he exposed himself to He Qun and the others by using this brass ring on the Liu family’s Ice Breaking Ship, which triggered today’s situation.
In the end, it was because he had not been careful enough.
“Lei Da, Wang Liu, there are only three of you South Mountain Thieves left today. I’m afraid seizing both us brothers and this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect simultaneously won’t be an easy task.”
Chen Mobai didn’t say a word, he simply quietly put his brass ring back on his hand.
Meanwhile, the Loose Cultivator brothers started signalling him with their eyes, intending to form an alliance.
“Kan Xiu, Kan Ping, you both might have mastered sword techniques, but without a Flying Sword, you are no match for me.”
He Qun remained silent and made way for the young man nicknamed Lei Da to step forward.
“Let’s stick to the rules. Once we get hold of the Casting Sword Ring, you will naturally receive your share.”
Upon seeing Lei Da stepping up, Kan Xiu spoke up, seemingly indicating weakness as if acknowledging he was not an opponent.
“That works.”
Lei Da appeared to ponder for a while, then nodded his head and pointed at Chen Mobai.
“Then, start by killing him.”
“We just need to get our hands on the goods, whether we kill him or not, does it really matter?”
Kan Xiu furrowed his brows. He knew that if they killed Chen Mobai today, a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect with an outstanding Spiritual Root Talent, they would be forever held hostage by these South Mountain Thieves, even if they did manage to join Golden Cliff.
“You won’t have a say in that. If you don’t kill him, we’ll kill you first, then kill him.”
During the conversation, Lei Da took out a magic artifact shaped like a drum.
“Thunder Drum!”
Upon seeing this artifact, Kan Xiu’s brow furrowed.
Chen Mobai felt that the tide of battle was starting to tilt in favor of He Qun’s party.
This situation was not sustainable. If the opposing party reached a consensus, his death would certainly follow.
“Gentlemen, if we three join forces, we may not win, but escaping with our lives should be a breeze.”
Chen Mobai immediately spoke up.
“Brother, I follow your lead.”
Kan Ping nodded at Kan Xiu and after sighing, he pointed his sword at Chen Mobai.
“Die!”
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai, who had been prepared, did not hesitate to take out his trump card.
It was a sealed green talisman.
A lower-grade Rank-2 “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman”.
He had already experienced the abilities of the two Loose Cultivators. If dragged into a lengthy battle, he undoubtedly couldn’t triumph over two opponents.
Moreover, even if he did manage to achieve victory, there were still the three watchful men at his side.
If he wanted to survive, he had to defeat his opponents as quickly as possible to reduce their number, and ideally wipe them out all in one swoop.
He had been prepared to risk his life the moment He Qun’s party appeared. Using the energy absorption technique, he clutched the talisman in his palm and infused it with his spiritual power.
Now that the talks had broken down and the Kan brothers drew their swords on him, he did not hesitate or feel any regret.
He directly unleashed his most potent talisman!
Boom!
Without a doubt, it was a Rank-2 talisman. Even though it was only lower-grade, its power equated to a fully-focused spell of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The moment Chen Mobai threw the talisman, strands of green lightning sprung forth, transforming into a sky full of wildly dancing streams of green current in the blink of an eye. It appeared like an Azure Dragon sweeping through the Kan brothers, reducing them to charred remains.
At this point, the power of this talisman was only one-tenth unleashed!
Chen Mobai could feel his divine sense being severely drained amidst the rapid consumption of his spiritual power. He started feeling dizzy after only a brief moment, but he still mustered his energy, controlling the remaining power of this talisman and aimed it at the position of He Qun’s group.
Rumble!
The green electric current danced wildly, bringing with it an immensely destructive power capable of leveling a hill, and descended upon Lei Da.
Lei Da’s face changed dramatically, but he clung onto the Thunder Drum with both hands, putting all his strength into striking it.
A loud thunderous noise echoed as a bolt of blue thunderbolt burst forth like a silver serpent, colliding with Chen Mobai’s “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman”!
After a burst of intense light, the Water Elemental Shield of He Qun and the Heart Protecting Mirror of Wang Liu both erupted with incredible spiritual light, trying their best to neutralize the power of the Divine Thunder Talisman.
After almost two minutes of the fierce havoc wreaked by the Azure Dragon electric current and the silver serpent thunderbolt, the deserted hill finally quieted down.
Lei Da violently coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But he still managed to survive, relying on his Rank-2 magic artifact.
However, when he turned his head, his eyes turned red with rage.
He Qun was lying down, barely breathing, while Wang Liu’s Heart Protecting Mirror was shattered, its fragments scattered all over the ground.
Turning to look at Chen Mobai’s former position, Lei Da realized it was already empty.
The latter had already fled in a random direction while the Yi Wood Divine Thunder talisman wreaked havoc.
“Damn it, kid, I’ll grind him to dust.”
Directing Wang Liu to carry He Qun, Lei Da lit a piece of Tracking Incense, fixed the direction where Chen Mobai had fled, and angrily gave chase.
Just as they began their pursuit, a tall man dressed in black suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
“Who goes there?”
Despite his fury, Lei Da hadn’t lost his cool. He sensed that the man in front of him was likely a peak Qi Cultivator similar to himself.
If it were a normal situation, he would not fear any peer, especially given his possession of a Rank-2 Magic Artifact.
But after barely surviving a “Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman”, and with his strength reduced by almost one-third, he had to proceed with caution.
“I didn’t want to interfere originally in the fights and fights between you Loose Cultivators.”
The man in the black robe lifted his head, revealing an ordinary face with unusually bright eyes.
Lei Da thought of a person.
“My name is E Yun, and you guys shouldn’t be laying hands on a disciple of my Divine Wood Sect.”
This isn’t good!
Just as Lei Da was about to flee, E Yun stretched out his hand towards him..
