Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 364 - 179: The Turtle Talisman Master is So Honest, He Won't Kill Anyone

The main reason that Liu Yonggang wanted to strike at Chen Yi was because he had his eyes on Chen Yi's pill refining method.

These days, he has been paying attention to Chen Yi selling pills and Talisman Scrolls in public, especially after the end of the Secret Realm, when Chen Yi's fame for pill refining skyrocketed.

Liu Yonggang had the fortune of obtaining a Golden Body Pill, and after his initial investigation, he was astonished for a long while.

From a certain point of view, Chen Yi's alchemy skills had far surpassed Liu Yonggang.

This was the most direct reason for him to target Chen Yi.

There was another reason. That day, he, the city lord, Yang Dan, and a few others had plotted against Chen Yi's Foundation Establishment Pill. They thought Chen Yi was just a lower-ranking cultivator and bullied him without caring about it.

However, now Chen Yi had grown into a powerful Alchemist, who was no weaker than him. If they allowed Chen Yi to continue to grow, it was inevitable that as a fellow Alchemist, he would learn some secret skills in pill refining.

Then they would become enemies.

Perhaps Yang Dan might not fear Chen Yi's retaliation, but as Chen Yi expanded his connections and Liu Yonggang aged, it was doubtful whether he could withstand Chen Yi's attack.

Chen Yi was famous for his defensive strategy. The opportunity to attack him was rare, especially after this Secret Realm.

After discussing it with the city lord, Yue Xiu, they prepared for the ambush. They even made clear the division ratio for the spoils after the murder.

Yue Xiu would take the larger share, and Liu Yonggang was only interested in pill refining materials and formulas.

As the two crossed paths,

Chen Yi also showed a faint smile, signaling "you go first, I need a short rest".

But in his heart, he was sneering at Alchemist Liu for his propensity to play the role of a bandit.

Let's see if you can still maintain that smile later.

Chen Yi pretended to be exhausted and stopped to meditate and recover. He stopped about 15 miles away from the narrow strait between the two islands.

All these years, Chen Yi had never forgotten the grudge against Alchemist Liu, Yang Dan, City Lord Yue Xiu, Tan Feng, and a few others who had plotted against him for his top quality Foundation Establishment Pill back in Wangyue City.

He just hadn't had the strength to completely suppress the Yang Family of Wangyue City yet, and didn't want to stir up any trouble just yet.

If he killed Liu Yonggang, Yue Xiu or Tan Feng, regardless of the reason, Yang Dan would figure out that Chen Yi was taking revenge for the past. Chen Yi would have difficulty dealing with the power of the Yang Family at that time.

But now, a golden opportunity was presented to him,

Chen Yi thought it was something he could work with.

Liu Yonggang and Yue Xiu were plotting to ambush Chen Yi, not knowing they were also being targeted.

It would be difficult for the two Foundation Establishment mid-phase cultivators to detect another bandit in the late-stage Foundation Establishment phase.

About the time it takes to make a pot of tea later,

When Liu Yonggang arrived at the narrow strait between the islands, he appeared to be exhausted as if he needed to sit down and recover his energy.

Just as he was planning to sneak around a giant rock, find a hidden location to stop, one on the right and another on the left, and wait for Chen Yi to fly past,

Bang!

The massive rock behind him suddenly burst open,

A brawny man with a malicious mask shot out at Liu Yonggang:

"Heh, heh, heh! You refuse the path to heaven and break into hell. Old man, leave your Storage Bag behind and I'll spare your life!"

Zhao Jingwu's Qi Cultivation level was average. Although he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his magic was rather mundane and he didn't have any particularly powerful Magical Instruments.

However, his fame among the Loose Cultivators was not small, thanks to his powerful Body Refining Strength.

At the same level, as long as he got close enough, almost no one was a match for him.

He come at Liu Yonggang with incredible speed, within a small range, His physical superiority as a Body Cultivator was on full display,

He took out the Vajra Hammer from behind and swung it. With a whipping wind, it created a vortex of spiritual power in the air.

"Zhao Jingwu! I just bought some stalactite milk from you, and now you're here to rob me!"

Liu Yonggang roared. The moment the stone exploded, he quickly grabbed his Storage Bag. An Inkstone Magical Instrument flew out, expanding in the wind.

By the time Zhao Jingwu had caught up, the Inkstone has grown to the size of a bullock cart, shining with a golden light, and smashed towards Zhao Jingwu.

"Mere spark dares to compete with the sun!"

Zhao Jingwu was a Loose Cultivator, a part-time bandit cultivator, and had a wealth of experience in magic battles. He had never seen anyone of the same level who could resist his physical attacks with magic.

"Die——"

Zhao Jingwu's muscles exploded with power, as he swung his Vajra Hammer at full strength, smashing it against the incoming Inkstone.

Boom!!

That top-notch Inkstone Magical Instrument was hit by the hammer and knocked back like it had been struck by a small mountain. It kept shrinking in mid-air,

By the time it returned to Liu Yonggang's hands, it was back to the size of a palm and missing a corner.

Liu Yonggang was almost choked by the magical backlash from his Magical Instrument,

Seeing that Zhao Jingwu still retained his momentum and was swinging his hammer towards him, Liu Yonggang's expression changed,

He quickly pulled out another Magical Instrument. It poured a curtain of water in front of him as it hung in the air. The curtain of water immediately grew to several feet thick and several feet wide, acting like a shield.

That still wasn't enough. Liu Yonggang quickly pulled out two top-tier Thunder Talisman Scrolls and activated them directly.

One of them hit the water curtain in front of him,

Instantly, flashes of electricty could be seen in the water curtain,

A top-tier defensive Magical Instrument, the Kui Shui Curtain, combined with a second-tier top-grade Water-Thunder Talisman, formed a formidable defense for Liu Yonggang.

It was designed specifically to deal with close-ranged Body Cultivators. Most Body Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't dare to attack recklessly,

Even Zhao Jingwu hesitated for a moment before he prepared to charge through the electric water curtain to test its strength,

But the very next moment,

Liu Yonggang's second Lightning Talisman was shot out. Amidst the thundering, a silver lightning bolt struck towards Zhao Jingwu.
