Chapter 68: Ambushed and Killed (New book's last day, seeking collection!)
Zi Lei let out a breath of relief after hearing what Big Beard had said, and his heart returned to its normal place.
Zhao Si is nothing but a swindler relying on the prestige of his school, talking big but actually being mediocre. He's the same kind as the "accountant" of the Xun Shou Sect. When it comes to real fighting, he becomes a useless coward, not worth worrying about.
Inadequate for success, but more than enough for failure!
This is his evaluation of Zhao Si, and he didn't take it seriously, putting it in the back of his mind instantly.
"Our small team may not have made much money, but we've met young heroes like Brother Qi. It's worth meeting each other once. Today we part ways, who knows when we'll meet again? Why don't we find a place to get drunk first?"
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Da Hu Zi had obtained three Qilei Sanling Dan, so it wouldn't be good to just pat his butt and leave. He still needed to save face a bit.
"Thank you all brothers, it's also my good fortune to meet you. Let's just get drunk and forget about it, we'll part ways for now, and there will be another chance in the future."
Zi Lei left Zi Tian Island for a long time, and had already cut off Yan Dao and avenged his hatred. At this moment, he didn't want to stay for a single moment, and was eager to return to his own island.
Before he became a human, he always felt that being with Bai Maohou Cang and San Zhao Liandie had no meaning. As soon as he had time, he would immerse himself in memories. But after coming out for a trip, he suddenly realized: it turned out that he had long regarded Qitian Island as his home, and Hou Cang, Lian Die, Niu Man, etc. as his relatives.
It's been a long time since I left home, and it's inevitable to have homesickness!
He raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind came, and it was the sound of clothes fluttering in mid-air.
Wow!
Wow!
Immediately afterwards, a hail of sharp arrows shot out, covering the sky and enveloping the nine of them.
These arrows are not something that ordinary people can use, each one is as thick as an arm, like a giant spear, shining with a dark and gloomy light, emitting a faint chill, especially the arrowhead, which shines with a red light in the blackness, extremely eerie. A killing aura emanates from them.
Hiss!
Hiss!
They tore through the sky, with a fierce momentum, and charged towards them "What's going on?"
Zi Lei was shocked and lost his color, his figure moved, and he hastily retreated backwards.
These arrows appeared too suddenly, killing him off guard, leaving him unable to react instantly, and had no choice but to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
At the same time, Da Hu Zi, Xia Jian and others also changed their faces, hastily retreating backwards.
They soon gathered together!
"Beware, these arrowheads are coated with a deadly poison of purple and red dan, once contaminated, there is no resistance under the golden dan. Who on earth would spend so much money to take our lives?"
It is known that those who cultivate the Tao are cleansed by the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and have always been immune to poison. The poisonous substances that can harm them are like the Purple Elixir and Red Dan, which are not ordinary goods, extremely precious and priceless, and cannot be exchanged even with the Aggregating Spirit Elixir.
Some people even used poisonous arrows dipped in cinnabar and red lead to shoot them dead, how deep must their hatred be!
And from the number of arrows, it can be seen that the incoming person is not one or two. Even if it's not hundreds, there are dozens of people, and each one's cultivation is no less than theirs.
"Not good, could it be the Beast Tamer Sect?"
Apart from offending the Beast Tamer Sect, they had not offended any other major powers.
However, even if it's the Beast Tamer Sect, they shouldn't have made such a big fuss just because of a few scattered cultivators!
Isn't there another hidden reason?
But this was no time for thinking. They gathered together, forming a circle, with radiance bursting from their hands, deflecting the incoming arrows that rained down on them.
For a moment, the crackling and crashing sounds were incessant.
Even if the arrow is coated with a highly toxic poison, it's still just a low-grade artifact and doesn't pose much of a threat to these Foundation Establishment cultivators.
As for influence, it's only in the mind and momentum, instantly suppressing them, making them tense up suddenly, nervous and flustered.
"Haha, really obedient, see or not, I said it, as soon as the Purple Dan Red Arrow comes out, they will immediately gather together, this is better, easier to catch them all at once, otherwise if there are any fish that slip through the net, wouldn't it be troublesome to find them?"
This was a tall and thin middle-aged man, with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, who did not look like a Taoist at all, but rather had the appearance of a rogue. However, he was now surrounded by the crowd in the center, looking extraordinary.
He is Zhao Si, Wanjiao Sect's notorious "Seeking Death" Daoist!
Next to him was a hunchbacked guy with a flattering smile, thumbs up and full of praise.
"No way, senior's cultivation is profound, and his clever calculations are godlike. As soon as this move is made, they can only surrender, it's really too high."
Hu Qingfeng couldn't help but look down on him.
What a capture, they were clearly well-prepared and clever, but what's the point of being clever, Zi Dan Hong isn't something to be wasted like that, emotions aren't things you can own, using them without knowing the heartache.
A gleam of contempt shot out from his eyes, but he quickly turned his head to look at Qi Lei and the others, and a fierce anger surged up in his heart.
"If it weren't for these scoundrels, would Purple Rose have been wasted like this?!"
He was filled with great hatred in his heart, gritting his teeth and glaring furiously, with a murderous aura like the sea.
"You collude with evil spirits, disrupting my Beast Tamer Clan. All righteous warriors want to kill you to rid the people of harm, left and right, kill!"
He had wanted to be more generous and enthusiastic, but thinking that this trip was just about taking Zhao Si to have fun, his excitement fell flat, and he didn't even feel like saying much, so he went straight to the point.
This made Big Beard and the others both shocked and frightened, suspicious and bewildered.
"Wait a minute, please ask Old Man Hu to clarify. Even if we die, don't let us become confused ghosts. What is meant by 'colluding with evil spirits'? When have we ever colluded with evil spirits?"
The big beard let out a loud roar, his hair standing on end, his eyes wide with anger, like a lion about to go wild, his momentum rising steadily, and in an instant he turned the tide of defeat.
His cultivation is by no means as simple as it looks!
Zi Lei's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly became interested.
"Haha, 'Colluding with evil spirits' was what I said. Since you don't believe me, I'll bring out the evidence. Behold, my Demon-Seeking Compass!"
Zhao Si didn't wait for Hu Qingfeng to speak and loudly said, his hand shaking as he took out a compass.
This compass is completely different from the demon-tracking compass of the Beast Tamer Sect, with only one black needle, yet emitting a fluctuation that makes people's hearts palpitate, as if a sharp sword is placed in it, with endless killing intent emanating from it.
Ding!
It shook violently and finally pointed directly at Da Hu Zi and others!
"Want to add crime what worry no words, damn it, still say a bird, fight!"
Xia Jian burst into rage, his hand raised the law instrument and pointed directly at Zhao Si!
Not to mention him, the big bearded man was also furious. The Seeking Demon Disc, this thing, is indeed extraordinary, but in the end it still listens to its master's words, and with a slight trick, it points wherever he wants it to point.
This doesn't count as evidence at all!
"I get it, they can't catch the demon, so they've lost face and now they want to use us as scapegoats to save their reputation!"
Zi Lei, however, was a man who knew his own affairs. As soon as the demon-seeking compass appeared, he felt a thud in his heart, and had a feeling of being stared at, which was exactly the same as the demon-seeking compass of the Xun Shou Sect. It seemed that in front of it, he couldn't hide anything.
The other side has a large crowd, not only Hu Qingfeng and Jin Dan cultivators, but also several fake Dan cultivators such as Zhao Si. The rest are mostly building foundation early and mid-term cultivators. Compared to them, it's like a tiger catching a rabbit, with an overwhelming advantage.
"We must break through together, otherwise I'm done for!"
At this moment, Zilei thought of this point. Although there is a suspicion of harming the innocent, at this time, if you don't die for your friends, you won't die for your poor brothers. There's no need to pretend to be kind or righteous.
"Brother Zhi's words make sense, let's join forces and break through!"
The big-bearded man's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he said in a low voice, "Let's go first."
Zi Lei was not to be outdone, and with a sudden burst of energy, he too leapt forward, charging ahead.
As a team, they had discussed tactics before, but at that time, Zile pretended to be of low cultivation and was assigned the position of "forward", but now it's come to the critical moment of life and death, Da Hu Zi has exerted his full strength, revealing his fake Dan cultivation, and he also took the lead.
"Huh? There are actually two fake Danxiu cultivators! This team of 250 is indeed not a team of 250!"
Hu Qingfeng was shocked, never expecting that there would be such a talented person among the scattered cultivators. However, no matter what kind of talent it was, offending the Beast Tamer Sect meant having only one fate - being strangled in the cradle. He had absolute confidence in this.
"Kill, without leaving a single one alive! I want to let the whole world know that offending the Beast Tamer Sect will only lead to a dead end!"
He sneered, revealing a sinister smile, his eyes narrowing suddenly, and his entire body bursting with murderous aura.
