Chapter 973 - Chapter 973 Chapter 973 Suicide

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Suicide Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Suicide For Hua Hua, the talismans of the Earth Plane were even more annoying than those of the Mobile Phone Plane.

The Mobile Phone Plane had a vast variety of talismans, and Thunder Talismans were not considered a major category. In fact, ordinary Thunder Talismans were even more expensive than other talismans–partially because their attack speed was fast, but also because there were too few cultivators specializing in thunder.

But the Earth Realm was different; many talismans were Thunder Talismans, or at least related to thunder!

Hua Hua used to think this was normal, until it took a tour in the Otherworld and discovered this was what made Earth annoying.

It even considered whether this was because the Spiritual Energy on Earth was too scarce, and only thunder and lightning were somewhat convenient to use.

Whenever it thought about this, a vague sadness would arise in its heart: This is the tragedy of a declining magical realm…

Anyway, Hua Hua was chasing tail-to-mouth, cautious and sharp-eyed, and immediately noticed that the other party had spotted it.

Hua Hua absolutely did not want to be struck by lightning, so it continued to maintain its speed and fly forward. When it was about two hundred meters away from the opponent, it suddenly accelerated and darted to the right.

Its estimation of the distance was a bit far, as Daoist Hu was only a High-Rank mortal, and he felt that the appropriate distance to activate a Thunder Talisman was between one hundred to one hundred fifty meters. He hadn’t expected the other party to accelerate in advance.

But Mr. White was much more experienced. Seeing it dart forward suddenly, Mr. White put down the knife in his hand, pulled out a cylindrical object, and pressed a button fiercely–a muffled “bang” sounded, and a mass of air shot towards Hua Hua.

–Strictly speaking, it wasn’t air, but a transparent net.

This was one of Mr. White’s trump cards, quite effective in ambushing others. However, in the previous fight, they were outnumbered, and even if they trapped one, it would not have much effect as the enemies could slowly break free. Now it was many against one, and the net came in handy.

But Hua Hua’s speed was so astonishing that even Feng Jun would be amazed; it quickly dashed diagonally downwards, avoiding the large net.

Since the battle had already started, it didn’t hesitate to pull out three Thunderclap Talismans and quickly activated them.

You want to strike me with lightning? I’ll use lightning to strike you instead!

Its reaction was indeed correct. Just as Daoist Hu was about to activate the talisman in his hand, he was struck by lightning, immediately emitting blue smoke and falling to the ground.

The others, Xiao Qi and Mr. White, didn’t fare much better and also collapsed to the ground.

These Thunderclap Talismans were given to Hua Hua by Feng Jun, for it was the second strongest combatant in Luohua Manor and had signed a contract. Thus Feng Jun was more generous to it than to others–Hua Hua could freely pick any Magic Artifact.

After knocking down three people, Hua Hua flew over, still holding three Thunderclap Talismans in its claws–with six legs, it definitely had enough to spare.

When it saw the talisman in Daoist Hu’s hand, it couldn’t help but burst into rage, “You sneaky little… I almost fell for it!”

Actually, it was wronging Daoist Hu, who had prepared not a Thunder Talisman but his trump-card Sword Qi Talisman this time.

This was the only talisman he had that might pose a threat to a Qi-Refining Practitioner–He did have Thunder Talismans, but the ones usable during his cultivation realm were mediocre at best and unlikely to harm someone in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Of course, if he had realized how fearful Hua Hua was of Thunder Talismans, he might have chosen differently.

However, none of that mattered now. When Hua Hua saw the talisman in his hand, it was truly enraged and impulsively pulled out the Sword Qi Gourd–something it had never used on anyone before.

But just as it was about to activate it, it remembered Feng Jun’s warning–Do not kill indiscriminately!

So it forcefully restrained itself from activating the gourd and instead spit out two streams of saliva, piercing through the opponent’s arms–I’ll stop you from using talismans!

Its saliva was similar to sharp arrows and also corrosive, severely damaging the opponent’s arms.

Then, it turned its head to look at the person who had shot the flying net–He’s no good either!

Thus, it spat out two more streams, piercing Mr. White’s legs.

Mr. White was still paralyzed from the lightning strike–knowing that even Qi-Refining Practitioners would struggle against the Thunder Talismans Feng Jun gave to Hua Hua.

He saw the two streams of saliva coming out, was terribly frightened, and wanted to dodge by rolling over, but his body couldn’t keep up with his mind, and he ended up with two transparent holes in his thighs.

Mr. White screamed in immense pain, “I am a Miami-American of Huaxia descent, how dare you hurt me?”

Hua Hua didn’t understand what “Miami-American of Huaxia descent” meant; it simply ignored him and shifted its gaze to Xiao Qi.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi panicked. His body was still paralyzed, so he decisively lay down on the ground, flipping his limbs skyward and exposing his soft belly–I surrender!

Surrendering as a human to an animal felt disgraceful, but as someone from the Kunlun Outskirts and knowing that even the Kunlun Three Elegants had been defeated by Luohua Manor, he didn’t feel ashamed of his actions.

Hua Hua actually understood this gesture, pausing for a moment: I’m just a Butterfly, how could you treat me like a cat or a dog?

The next moment, it spat out another mouthful of saliva, barely missing the opponent’s scalp and shaving a groove into their hair.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that he dared not move, not knowing that Hua Hua did not continue attacking simply because… it had used too much saliva.

The three of them were still alive! Hua Hua secretly gave itself a thumbs-up, then gathered the three people into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Then it gracefully flew back to the cave, shook the Spirit Beast Bag, and released the three men.

Zhuang Haoyun and his three cousins looked at each other, momentarily forgetting their terror, filled with deep guilt: Damn, the seven of us, even armed with two guns, had less combat strength… than a butterfly?

Down the mountain, the severely injured had been rescued, and people were still heading up the mountain, but for Zhuang Haoyun and the others, with the three culprits captured, they could also descend the mountain.

However, it might be better to station some people in the cave for the near future.

Just then, Mr. White spoke weakly, “I am a Huaxia-born Merrick citizen, I demand immediate contact with the Miami-American Consulate… You will pay for your rudeness!”

He knew he couldn’t communicate with Hua Hua and inevitably resorted to threatening the Zhuang Family members–a beast doesn’t understand human speech, but I don’t believe you don’t either.

Zhuang Haoyun became furious upon hearing this. After being captured, the most ruthless interrogators were Mr. White and Xiao Qi. Zhuang Haoyun stepped forward and delivered a kick that sent the man tumbling several times.

He spoke angrily, “Damn it, think you Merrick folks are impressive? I am still a Huaxia citizen, kidnapped by you for no reason… Let me tell you, the Great Qing is long gone!”

Fresh blood seeped from Mr. White’s mouth as he uttered with a bitter smile, “Then brace yourselves for Merrick’s wrath!”

At that moment, he produced a small knife, unknown when, and plunged it directly into his own heart.

Hua Hua, ever alert, had never expected the man to contemplate suicide.

It was a bit too late for rescue at this point. Zhuang Haoyun’s murderous intent surged, and he coldly glanced at Daoist Hu and Xiao Qi–should he eliminate them all?

This cave was a major secret of the Zhuang Family, and foreigners dying here would inevitably attract the police.

And Zhuang Haoyun being a businessman, rising to prominence not by sheer kindness.

Xiao Qi was terrified by his glance and subconsciously begged for mercy, “Director Zhuang, I apologize for any previous offenses, but… it was unintentional, please be magnanimous.”

With his mood slightly calmed, Zhuang Haoyun reached to check Mr. White’s breath, only exhaling air, no intake.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then raised his head to look at Hua Hua, “I respectfully ask Immortal Hua for advice.”

Zhuang Haoyun had originally planned to hand the three men over to the police for a thorough questioning to vent his frustrations. But knowing one was a Merrick-born Huaxia citizen who had committed suicide, he became wary.

Hua Hua took out a mobile phone, shook it at him, and he immediately understood, nodding with a smile, “Yes, we need to contact the master.”

Hua Hua dialed Feng Jun’s WeChat. After a brief explanation, Feng Jun issued instructions, “Alright, Hua Hua, wait there. I’ll come over tonight. Tell Zhuang Haoyun to keep this quiet.”

Where would Zhuang Haoyun dare speak out? An international friend had died, especially in his family’s secret cave.

So, hesitating, he suggested, “These two… may leak information.”

That’s your miserly nature, Feng Jun pondered before speaking, “Don’t worry, you were initially a victim. Have your wife withdraw the missing person report first.”

Zhuang Haoyun thought it over; regardless of future suspicions, it was first prudent to withdraw the missing person report. Otherwise, the police constantly searching for him might lead to complications.

Then he didn’t continue to wait in the cave but asked Hua Hua for help to move him and the three men to a valley ten miles away, leaving a map for Feng Jun.

That evening, Feng Jun arrived with Yang Yuxin, Smith, and Xu Mansha, using the Time Shuttle.

Xu Mansha and Smith had heard of the Flying Artifact, but it was their first time aboard. Their faces weren’t looking good when the Time Shuttle landed–such a defiance of common knowledge was too provocative for anyone’s understanding.

Smith was slightly better, looking only bewildered, but Xu Mansha’s face was ashen.

Zhuang Haoyun, in a crevice, lit a fire, guiding Feng Jun while shielding against the biting mountain wind.

The Time Shuttle landed in front of the crevice, Hua Hua flew out first, landing on Feng Jun’s shoulder, “I’ve healed Zhuang Haoyun’s injuries!”

“Okay, I’ll replenish some elixirs for you later,” Feng Jun replied offhandedly, clear about separating personal matters from business. Although Zhuang Haoyun’s hardship was a tribulation for the Zhuang Family, it was related to Luohua.

If not for his involvement, Zhuang Haoyun might not have been drawn into this matter, so he wouldn’t speak of treatment fees, being a meticulous person all matters should be handled appropriately, “But next time you heal someone, you must inform me first… What do you mean by this, Xu Mansha?”

His last words carried a hint of sternness, as Xu Mansha had already knelt down there.
