Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 406 - 198: Chen Yi Becomes the Last Straw_2

"Yuan Zhen, what nonsense are you spouting! We were just ordinary servants with a typical relationship back then, there was no talk of love.

Being with the young master was my own choice,

when the young master took me in, didn't you toast to it in congratulation,

Now you are nearly 300 years old, and you bring this up?"

"Pah! Toast? I toasted poison wine! Just a pity it didn't kill him!

He took you away from me, I have hated him my whole life!

Gui Qin, step aside, today I broke off all pretenses with the Yang Family, under no circumstances will I allow Yang Dan to successfully reach Core Formation,

otherwise, I would be left with no escape."

"Impossible. Xiao Dan is someone I watched grow up, she is the young master's heart's blood, as long as I am here, no one can prevent her from undergoing Core Formation.

Yuan Zhen, it's not too late for you to stop and apologize to the young master, don't you want us to return to how we used to be, to live out our final years peacefully?"

"I can't go back. Gui Qin, if you are determined to do this, don't blame me for not acknowledging our past relationship."

"Hmph, Daoist Shi, if you want to fight, then fight, do you think I'm scared of you!"

Very well! So you're now calling me Daoist Shi, huh?

Yuan Zhen's chest swells with anger. His face is ashen:

"Brother Zhao, make your move! No need to worry about my face, once the fight is over, the young girl inside is yours, and I'm taking this older one away!"

"Hahahaha! Fair enough, Zhao Jingwu will definitely help you fulfill your interest!"

Zhao Jingwu, with a satisfied expression, smiled and once again brandished his magic weapon, attacking Aunt Qin,

of course, he unconsciously lightened his move, not because he cherished beauty,

but mainly wanted to witness the following story of a mature beauty being captured by his old friend after a fierce fight,

what he just heard was wonderful, but the follow-up was more exciting.

At this moment, Yuan Zhen gritted his teeth, took out a long saber weapon, and attacked Aunt Qin from another side.

Aunt Qin's face is full of indignation. Her body is wrapped in the light, moving swiftly through the air with its special technique, as her arms flicker, releasing two ribbons, each dozens of feet long, to block the attacks of the two men's magic weapons.

Although the white ribbons look soft, they produce a metallic clink when they hit the men's metal weapons,

Despite its extreme flexibility, it manages to maintain its hardness.

"A magic weapon made of silver silk! He even helped you refine this treasure!"

Shi Yuanzhen blurted out in astonishment.

Back in the day, they had killed a third-tier demon beast called the Silver Moon Silkworm, which had a trace of ancient blood in its veins, and obtained this treasure,

He had vivid memories of the three of them joining forces to fight the Silver Moon Silkworm, and it left a deep impression,

Today, as soon as they had a falling out, Gui Qin took out this treasure to deal with him,

Shi Yuanzhen felt bitter inside.

"Brother Zhao be careful, don't get entangled in this silver silk. It's a substandard magic weapon that can freeze your spiritual power in a short time. Even if you are rescued in time, you will suffer a great loss of Yuanqi."

Zhao Jingwu's face changed slightly, no wonder when he exchanged a few blows just now, his big hammer was covered with a layer of frost, and its movement started to become sluggish,

"Brother Shi, this old flame of yours possesses such a treasure, you better not hold back and think of a plan."

Although Zhao Jingwu was a Body Cultivator at the Pseudo-core Level, he definitely didn't want to take a hit.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, this magic weapon is extremely exhausting to use. Gui Qin, also being at the Pseudo-core level, won't be able to hold out for long. We just need to drag on,

The young girl inside will take at least half a month to reach Core Formation, time is on our side."

Shi Yuanzhen switched to a graceful flying sword and began a fast-paced fight with the white ribbon.

Still, due to Aunt Qin's fast movements, it wasn't easy for the flying sword to hurt her,

this put the three of them back to the state of exhausting each other.

Inside the array, Chen Yi watched all this, silently estimating,

Although Aunt Qin's magic weapon is powerful, judging from her mana consumption, she clearly can't sustain it for long. Even with the support of pills, she probably can't withstand half a month,

Inside, Yang Dan would also need at least ten days to reach Core Formation even if she was quick,

Right now, Chen Yi was playing the role of Tan Feng, a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. In this battle, he could be the last straw that broke the camel's back,

If he went all out against the two ferocious attackers, Aunt Qin might have a chance to injure one and drive away another before her mana is exhausted, and Yang Dan's Core Formation would be certain.

However,

Even if Chen Yi chose not to go directly against Yang Dan, how could he possibly assist her instead?

'He who repays a deed of merit with resentment, who will repay my merit?'

In addition to this, Chen Yi could make a different choice, which was to leave directly and observe the situation from a distance, waiting for the aftermath of the battle. Then, using Tan Feng's identity, he could check if there were any advantages to be gained, or find an opportunity to abandon this identity altogether.

While Chen Yi was hesitating,

The voice of the woman from within the array reached his ears:

"Mr. Tan, Aunt Qin may not be able to maintain the consumption of the Magic Weapon for much longer. I have a Quasi-Third Tier puppet here, you use it first, and hope that you can assist Aunt Qin when the opportune moment arrives."

A wolf-shaped mechanical puppet flew out from the array, slowly shrinking to the size of a small dog, stopped in front of Chen Yi,

Accompanying it was a Jade Token used to control the puppet.

After Chen Yi received the Jade Token, he sensed the intricacy of this puppet and the energy it contained,

This was an offensive puppet, capable of emitting energy fluctuations equivalent to the Pseudo-core level; if used properly, it indeed could help Aunt Qin in the current situation.

"Yang Hui, keep this talisman. And also this top-grade magical tool is for you. Both of these items are for defensive purposes. If Aunt Qin is ever in danger, use them to help Aunt Qin fend off one or two attacks."

Yang Dan took out two more items and flew them over to her younger brother. There was a silver shield pattern on the talisman.

From afar, Chen Yi sensed its power and found it had the power equivalent to a Magic Weapon.

The other top-grade magical tool was a type of shield and looked extremely sturdy. It should be able to withstand one or two attacks from a Pseudo-core cultivator, and the magical tool even had a spiritual stone slot inside, apparently requiring the user not to consume too much mana.

As the successor of the Yang Clan Commerce, Yang Dan's wealth was indeed impressive.

The Quasi-Third Tier puppet was given to Chen Yi because the divine sense and mana at the peak level of Foundation Establishment were needed to drive it.

What Yang Dan had prepared for her brother were defensive tools with small consumption and large power, while what she gave Chen Yi was a puppet that had genuine lethality.

Her consideration was quite thorough.

Since Chen Yi didn't plan to leave immediately, he needed to temporarily maintain the persona of Tan Feng.

Since the person he cared for had made a request, by rights, Chen Yi should immediately carry it out and directly stand out to help Aunt Qin and fight against the two opponents.

However, Chen Yi was not particularly keen on participating in the battle,

So he dallied in activating the puppet,

Allowing it to slowly grow from the size of a small dog to that of a calf, its eyes were emitting red light, and it remotely locked onto the two Pseudo-core level attackers on the battlefield.

However, Chen Yi did not make a move.

Upon seeing this, the two Pseudo-core level attackers who were hardly able to counter Aunt Qin's Magic Weapon were taken aback,

At present, Aunt Qin's mana status was still acceptable, at least she could support it for one or two hours,

Originally, they planned to win once they could outlast Aunt Qin at her peak of mana usage,

But now, if Tan Feng were to join the battle with a Quasi-Third Tier puppet,

The balance of victory would become unpredictable.

"Mr. Tan, as a man, you can't just think with your lower half. Your master, True Person Chengji, has been strictly forbidden by the head of Qinglong Island from participating in this battle,

Right now, we, along with True Person Zhao, have arrived to attack. It's impossible for us to let her successfully form a Core."

"Your master and Yang Dingtian have refined a batch of Crystallisation Pills, you already have a pill in your hand. Although, it is substandard, but with your foundation there should be no problem in forming a true core.

If you do anything foolish right now, you could easily lose your life.

Think about it, is it worth sacrificing your promising future for a woman who is destined not to form a core?

Once you form a true core, won't the fairy daughters of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance are free for your choosing?"

While fighting with Aunt Qin's Magic Weapon on the battlefield, Shi Yuanzhen tried to persuade Tan Feng.

In fact, he knew that Tan Feng, as Yang Dan's lapdog, had followed Yang Dan for several decades and couldn't be persuaded by a few words to give up,

But, he could stall for a while if needed,

Little did he know that his few words could end up affecting the outcome of the battle.
