Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 365 - 179: The Turtle Talisman Master is So Honest, He Won't Kill Anyone_2

Zhao Jingwu raised his Vajra Hammer and smashed it forward. During the surge of mana, there were crackling sounds, and silver lightning exploded into innumerable sparks in the air,

Zhao Jingwu, too, was electrified and stiff for a moment. His face turned pale and it was clear he was a bit uncomfortable.

Luckily, he was a body cultivator and his robust body quickly recovered, but just as he prepared to launch another attack.

Liu Yonggang quickly swallowed a blood-red pill,

The next instant, his mana greatly increased, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment,

He also unleashed a bright red flame at the same time. With his full mana infusion, the flame blazed in response to the wind,

The airspace above the entire water surface suddenly roiled, clearly indicating how terrifying the temperature of the flame was.

Chen Yi, who was hiding in the distance, was slightly surprised. This was a lower third-tier spiritual fire, Red Maple Fire. Whether used for alchemy or combating enemies, its power was extremely strong, two or three levels higher than the Earth Flame Spiritual Fire Chen Yi bought at the auction!

Having been an alchemist for so many years, Liu Yonggang indeed had some good stuff up his sleeve. No wonder he dared to rob others; he had quite a few trump cards.

But that wasn't all,

Liu Yonggang, worried that he still couldn't handle Zhao Jingwu, shouted loudly:

"What are you waiting for? Take action!"

Liu Yonggang was calling City Lord Yue Xiu for help.

Upon hearing those words, Zhao Jingwu's expression shifted. It turned out that the cultivator at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment hiding on the other side was also part of their gang?

He immediately grew wary of the other side,

It was two against one. He wasn't afraid, even if the old man had third-tier spiritual fire. He was confident,

Spiritual fire was effective in alchemy and artifact refining, but when used against enemies, it was largely restrained for cultivators who rely on mana,

As for body cultivators, it was challenging to hit them hard; thus, it wasn't much of a threat,

At most, Zhao Jingwu would be a little bit cautious when attacking,

He still had unused trump cards.

But now, with one more person, Zhao Jingwu found it challenging to kill both at the same time, especially when that person had yet to respond despite being called multiple times,

If one of the two ran away, it would lead to endless troubles in the future,

At this moment, Zhao Jingwu had the idea of retreating. As much as he wanted to rob, he also had to consider the cost and risk.

Despite his intention to back off, he wouldn't lose face. He still wanted to try and see if they were just bluffing:

"Old man, your partner is even more cowardly than you. If he had the guts, he would've made his move early. Ask him if he dares to take a shot at me! Hahaha!"

Zhao Jingwu's voice was deep. When it was unleashed under his powerful body strength, it caused the surrounding water waves to ripple,

As expected, City Lord Yue Xiu, who hid behind a large rock on the other side, didn't move at all upon hearing his words.

Liu Yonggang cursed inwardly. He had agreed to work together with the City Lord to rob and kill Chen Yi. However, things didn't turn out as planned,

Having encountered the more formidable Zhao Jingwu, Yue Xiu hid and didn't come out,

"Young punk, you're incompetent!"

Angry, Liu Yonggang quickly surrounded himself with the spiritual fire as a defensive measure, then cast a talisman scroll from his sleeve with a fierce look:

"Zhao Jingwu! You forced me into this!!"

The talisman scroll was of an icy color, depicting a deep blue flying sword. As soon as it appeared, it immediately emanated a terrifying icy blade vibration, enough to deter the pseudo-core cultivator.

"Talisman Treasure!"

Zhao Jingwu's pupils constricted as he swiftly pulled back his Vajra Hammer. His whole figure turned into a shadow as he quickly retreated several miles away.

Even Chen Yi was startled. Did Liu Yonggang also possess a talisman treasure?

No wonder he dared to do the murderous business in the Demon Territory. So he had such a trump card.

Once the talisman treasure was out, ordinary fake pill cultivators would have to dread it. If it hit a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would result in severe injuries or even death,

Even if Zhao Jingwu was a late-stage body cultivator, with his rough skin and thick flesh, he wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from this thing,

Chen Yi, in Liu Yonggang's eyes, was just an ordinary middle-stage Cultivator. If he was hit by this, he would surely die.

"Alchemist Liu, stop! It's all a misunderstanding!"

As Zhao Jingwu cast his escape skill to quickly retreat, he shouted at the same time,

Had I known you owned a talisman treasure, I wouldn't have sold you anything. Now, not only did the robbery fail, but I could also only make one sale,

What bad luck!

"Hmph! Zhao Jingwu, next time be more discerning about who you pick on. Don't think everyone's easy prey!"

Liu Yonggang was also extremely vexed. Seeing that Zhao Jingwu had genuinely retreated far away, he gradually withdrew his mana. The deep blue glow on the Ice Blue Sword Talisman slowly faded until it returned to its calm state.

He had just set up two defenses – an Electric Light Water Curtain and a third-tier spiritual fire – just in case Zhao Jingwu couldn't rush into the array in a short period,

He only needed three breaths' worth of time to infuse mana into the talisman treasure to activate it,

Once the Deep Blue Flying Sword on the talisman treasure locked onto Zhao Jingwu and was shot out, it would either kill or seriously injure him,

At that time, Yue Xiu would probably not be an idle bystander. If two people ganged up to beat the weakened Zhao Jingwu, killing him would result in at least tens of thousands of spirit stones. That's how you become rich!

But now, the plan had gone awry. Zhao Jingwu had retreated far away, and Liu Yonggang didn't have full confidence that he could kill him outright.

Moreover, Yue Xiu, who was hiding on one side, didn't take any action. Chen Yi, who was hiding in the distance, was also watching the situation here,

The commotion here had attracted the attention of numerous Loose Cultivators within a few miles,

If he exhausted all his mana and ended up mutually damaging Zhao Jingwu,

The situation would become quite complicated. It was hard to tell who would reap the final benefits then.

Zhao Jingwu's appearance had disrupted his plan to rob and kill Chen Yi. Moreover, all his trump cards were revealed,

Liu Yonggang had shifted from covert to overt, now everyone would be wary of him, and even know that he had talisman treasures, third-tier spiritual fire, several top-grade magical tools, and many high-tier second-grade talisman scrolls.
