Chapter 837 - 837 289 Battle 2 in 1

Chapter 837: Chapter 289: Battle [2 in 1] Chapter 837: Chapter 289: Battle [2 in 1] Peng Wanli also sensed something fishy; he stepped forward and said indifferently, “You come to rob, knowing that the Cat Emperor is here. Do you then know who I am?”

The leader with the gold mask honestly nodded and said, “To tell the truth, I don’t.”

“Oh? Then you really have some guts, to make a move without fully understanding your target. How do you know it isn’t akin to seeking your own death?”

Peng Wanli stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently.

“We can naturally see that the senior is not a subordinate of His Majesty Cat Emperor. Perhaps you are a powerful senior from the demon clan; naturally, we wouldn’t dare to underestimate you.”

The leader with the gold mask spoke lightly, “Indeed, the senior’s presence is formidable, but your combat strength seems incomplete. You must be suffering from a hidden injury, incapable of going all out. Given this, we can’t help but look down upon you a little. We hope the senior can forgive us.”

Peng Wanli let out a faint smile and sternly rebuked, “Nonsense!”

A powerful aura burst forth.

Feeling the impact of Peng Wanli’s aura, the eyes of the leader with the gold mask flickered warily. He slowly took half a step back with his right foot and readjusted his body’s center of gravity. Suddenly, a towering and profound aura surged skyward.

Ready to attack as well as to defend, a perfect balance between offense and defense.

Only then did he reply, still with the same calm and indifferent tone, “Junior merely spoke his thoughts; I don’t understand why the senior would reproach me.”

Peng Wanli coldly said, “Even your ancestors might not be able to discern my fundamental injury! Do you think, with your superficial cultivation that has just achieved Origin Transformation, you can see that I’m not at my full capacity?”

The man with the gold mask’s pupils contracted, “But it is a fact that the senior is injured.”

He was somewhat astonished in his heart.

This old man’s aura is quite frightening.

Peng Wanli smiled faintly, then suddenly shouted fiercely, “You’ve come here with a purpose, but there’s a fatal flaw in your plan, and you’re facing imminent death without even realizing it! Who instructed you? What is your true purpose? Speak the truth at once!”

This shout changed the color of the heavens and earth atop the mountain, causing the mist to rise!

Feng Yin felt dizzy and unsteady, and the opposite man with the gold mask, who bore the brunt of the impact, also changed color in his eyes.

He felt his heart thump violently, as if seized by palpitations.

Feng Yin communicated with Dong Xiaoyan through a secret transmission, “What is Origin Transformation?”

Dong Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, “If your little brain can understand, it means… it means reaching the cultivation of a Nine Colors Supreme.”

Feng Yin glared at her fiercely and angrily said, “You are mocking me again, and only because I can’t beat you…”

Dong Xiaoyan loved hearing this the most, her face breaking into a smile, “And if you could beat me, what then?”

Feng Yin angrily said, “I would spank you hard, a hundred times a day, without missing a single day!”

“Goose, goose, goose, goose…”

Dong Xiaoyan burst into irrepressible laughter.

The pair were speaking through secret transmission, which was supposed to be just between the two of them, without any noticeable sign, but Dong Xiaoyan’s laughter broke through the secret transmission.

While the standoff was happening on the other side, they suddenly heard this strange goose laughter coming from here, naturally prompting them to turn their heads in unison to look.

They saw the girl bent over in laughter, exceedingly happy.

The leader with the gold mask felt the face behind his mask flush with heat.

Dammit, I’m in the middle of a robbery here!

Yet, the people I am robbing are laughing as if they’ve just won the lottery, seriously injuring my pride!

“If the senior wishes to find out the truth, we have to speak with our actions!”

The man with the gold mask smiled faintly, and then, with a flourish, a sheathed longsword appeared in his hand. His thumb forcefully pressed down on the spring, and with a clink,

a streak of blue light shot out.

In that instant, all the snow atop the mountain and the clouds in the sky were reflected in a shade of blue!

“You two, don’t move.”

The Cat Emperor instructed Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan, “The opponent certainly has more tricks up their sleeve! Be careful!”

“Understood!”

This was something Feng Yin and the other were already aware of, even without the Cat Emperor’s warning.

The aggressors knew very well that the presence of two unparalleled masters on our side meant their group of five might not be a match, yet they still chose to rob us without giving ground, so the actual situation was quite evident.

The most conservative estimate Feng Yin now had was this: they definitely weren’t really after those 300,000 top-grade spirit crystals!

In fact, Feng Yin had a suspicion… Could these people be sent by Illusory Silkworm?

Although he felt this guess was far-fetched, the current situation had far too many inconsistencies!

Firstly, his group had just come out of the Three Realms Trade Fair and immediately encountered an ambush, with the attackers knowing all the details about them, even listing almost exactly what they had gained. This couldn’t be done without having a strong foundation and background inside the Three Realms Trade Fair.

And Illusory Silkworm just happened to have this strength.

Secondly, the attackers knew they had two super masters with them and still insisted on robbing them, using such an overt method. They spouted so many superfluous words, yet were in a hurry to start the attack. What was really their intention? All of it was quite unreasonable.

And Illusory Silkworm just happened to be capable of such deeds.

Third, the cultivation, strength, and combat power of Illusory Silkworm were beyond imagination, and even the Cat Emperor and Elder Peng could not suppress him together. Who knows what the true state of affairs was?

What if he was actually a shape-shifter, or perhaps the Three Realms Trade Fair was even his power…?
