Chapter 310: After a fierce battle of 260, he was killed _1
It was a sword light!
Finally, the Daoist Flying Spirit reacted.
However, at this time it was already too late. Even for a zombie, being beheaded was a fatal injury.
However, before he died, there was at least one more thing he had to do.
After Chen Mobai had killed Daoist Flying Spirit with all his might, he was about to burn this silver armored corpse using the Qingyang Fire Seed. However, he spotted a golden pearl emerging from the neck of the headless corpse like a dazzling, dark golden sun.
“Not good!”
Chen Mobai, who felt the intense fluctuation of the spiritual power, immediately realized that this was the opponent’s final struggle before his death.
Without daring to take risks, he unleashed all his defensive methods and quickly retreated.
Chixia’s Red Misty Cloud Silk cloaked his whole body, lifting him rapidly with a faint red light, like a cloud.
Then, dark green scales flew out from his right hand sleeve, forming a shield covered in scales, protecting him from the Chixia.
Even after these two defensive measures, Chen Mobai was still a little uneasy.
He bit his left finger and painted a symbol in the air, setting up a ‘Spirit Leaf Technique’.
Although he could not initiate the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Formation in time, it was still the most potent defensive magic he currently knew and could perform.
Finally, he took out a defensive talisman from his storage bag. If the three layers of defenses in front of him couldn’t withstand the terrifying force of the golden pearl’s explosion, this talisman would provide him a fraction of time to recede further.
Of course, before retreating, Chen Mobai didn’t forget to retrieve his ‘Flying Sparrow Hairpin’.
It was the most valuable thing he owned now.
A Rank-2 high-grade attack magic artifact, it was worth over a thousand spirit stones in value.
Moreover, it was a fire attribute flying sword, which is most suitable for Chen Mobai to execute the Red Flame Sword Jue.
Since Chen Mobai obtained the artifact, he had used it twice. Coupled with the Qingyang fireseed boosted by the Sun Raising Technique, he killed two laymen who were in the Foundation Establishment Phase with just a single shot. It is indispensable for him.
The Flying Sparrow Hairpin, already in sync with his divine sense, burst into a pure purple flame as soon as the golden pearl emerged from the headless corpse. It deflected its direction akin to a dexterous sparrow.
However, at this moment, Chen Mobai’s Void Spirit Eye noticed the multicolored lotus lamp that the headless corpse was holding.
His divine sense directed the Flying Sparrow Hairpin’s tail fire to elongate and transform into a chain of fire. It pulled the Lotus Lamp and the separated hand towards Chen Mobai, who had retreated to the entrance of the cave, right when the explosion was about to occur.
However, Chen Mobai, who had already fled, didn’t notice that a small, pure and quintessential spirit had flown out from the wick of the Lotus Lamp as he took it.
Boom!
The terrifying spiritual force that erupted from the golden pearl swept across the entire underground cave like a tsunami in a snap.
Despite retreating at his fastest speed, Chen Mobai still felt the overwhelming spiritual energy fluctuations mixed with the cold, evil corpse energy. They struck his triple-layer defense like a tempest.
The external green scale shield disintegrated first, scattering into fragments.
It was deprived of all its spiritual power during the airborne shuffle and was subsequently sucked back by the chitin armguard worn on his right hand.
At this moment, a touch of deep purple light flew towards Chen Mobai from afar. He took out his storage bag and accepted the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Lotus Lamp.
In the midst of the vibrating and thunderous explosion, the faint red glow from the Red Misty Cloud Silk started to warp and fade.
Chen Mobai, however, had already ascended to a considerable height with the help of his Divine Wood Sword. He was expending his spiritual power lavishly to break the rocks and make his way.
The attack that Daoist Flying Spirit had inflicted before his death was rather easy to fend off after withstanding the initial turbulence and maintaining a safe distance.
Chen Mobai halted his actions, waited for the aftermath to fade while simultaneously crushing the falling rock debris.
About the time it took to brew a pot of tea later, the terrifying surge of spiritual energy finally started to dissipate.
The earthquake ceased.
After waiting for a while, Chen Mobai took out the Flying Sparrow Hairpin and the Five-colored Lotus Lamp from his storage bag, confirming there was no danger.
He placed the jade-green hairpin back into his hair before looking at his gains: an exquisite Five-colored Lamp.
The only eyesore was the severed hand attached to it.
Without any hesitation, Chen Mobai used the Qingyang Fire Seed to burn it into ashes. He then reached out and took the Lotus Lamp, which was obviously not an ordinary magic artifact.
While Chen Mobai did not dare to hastily inject his spiritual power into it, he felt that this artifact might rank above two.
However, it appeared incomplete, and he didn’t know how to ignite it.
It seemed he needed to return to the Celestial Gate and ask his dear friend to identify it.
Thinking so, Chen Mobai put the Five-colored Lotus Lamp back into his storage bag and continued to dig with his flying sword.
He had nearly hundreds of intermediate-grade spirit stones, enough to keep the flying sword running and to hollow out the entire Lonely Spirit Ridge.
However, two days later, when Chen Mobai had tunneled through a mountain wall and thought he had struck an undamaged tunnel, he found the scene in front of him extremely familiar.
This was the cave where he had killed Daoist Flying Spirit, wasn’t it?
