"Hmph, the three of us worked hard to kill this ink python, but we didn't expect you to take advantage of the situation!" The young woman said coldly, implying that Zhao was a wicked person who snatched other people's treasures.
"Alas! The three of you are ultimately no match for the desire of greed. If you leave now, it would be best for everyone to part ways peacefully!" Zhao Di didn't bother to argue, his body wrapped in a thin layer of pale purple energy, he glanced at the three of them and pointed at Mo Jiao: "This demonic beast is useful to me and can't be given up, but I can offer two other sixth-grade demon pellets as compensation to each of you!"
"Less nonsense, if you're afraid of death, then leave the storage ring behind. The three of us can spare your life!" Yu Qing Lao Dao shouted, while making a signal to the two companions behind Zhao Di.
"Insatiable! Today, Zhao will send you all off with a gift!" As soon as he saw that the three of them had already made their move, Zhao took the lead and shook his sleeve, and under the flashing of various colored lights, more than ten human-shaped puppets fell to his side. Each puppet held a different type of spiritual tool in its hand, and on each tool was embedded a semi-transparent spiritual stone of a different color.
At this sight, all three of their faces showed extremely exaggerated shocked expressions!
"High-grade spirit stones! There are actually so many high-grade spirit stones!" Virtual Clear Old Dao's eyes emitted an unusual glow, shouting in a nearly frantic tone!
For an ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivator like Lao Dao, the market price of a high-grade spirit stone was almost his entire net worth. Suddenly seeing so many high-grade spirit stones appear before his eyes, the old man even forgot to be afraid for a moment!
The stout middle-aged man had been worried that the purple-clothed youth was not ordinary, and upon seeing his opponent's brilliant move, he felt a "thud" in his heart and turned to flee without looking back.
A loud crack of thunder, a flash of lightning, and an electric arc as thick as a finger suddenly fell from the top of his head. The middle-aged man's escaping light was forced to temporarily stop, and a defensive shield was triggered to block this sudden lightning attack.
At some point in time, this small island actually had two layers of protective light shields added to it, with a range so large that it was clearly completed relying on the power of the law array.
Judging from that seemingly casual lightning strike just now, this formation's power is still extremely strong and it's not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily break through.
The middle-aged man subconsciously turned his head to glance at Zhao Di, and suddenly two girls appeared beside him, each holding a delicate rice bowl in their hands, smiling lightly at him with identical faces.
After a moment of stunnedness, the young woman who had been thinking of escaping saw this scene and quickly flashed to where Lao Dao was. The middle-aged man also gave up his intention to escape when he saw that his path was blocked by a strong array, and similarly moved extremely fast to Xū Qīng's side.
These three were also quick-witted and agile, originally intending to surround and kill Zhao Di. However, upon seeing his puppet troops and large quantities of high-quality spiritual tools, they instantly judged the disparity in strength between the two sides, realizing that their own side was at a disadvantage. Thus, the trio swiftly formed a tight group, attempting to join forces to resist the opponent's fierce attack.
Zhao Di, who had made up his mind to kill, did not give these few people more time to think. He gave orders to the puppet troops and the two women, Youlan and Youruo.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder boomed, sword lights and shadows flew, flying stones and fierce flames all swept towards the three people!
The momentum is so fierce that even the Yuan Ying period cultivators are unwilling to face it head-on!
The three of them saw this and immediately dispersed and fled, where did they dare to stay in place and defend together!
The middle-aged man had just escaped a few meters away when a loud "dang" sound suddenly came from his ear, and his body involuntarily stumbled. In this brief delay, many attacks such as fire pillars, golden knives, and blue blades struck him, unavoidable! Fortunately, the master's primordial treasure, the Azure Dragon Pearl, was controlled by his heart, and with a mouthful of air, a blue, round bead flew out and immediately transformed into a several-meter-long blue evil python, desperately blocking the attacks.
However, the puppet's attack was too dense, and the blue python was busy and couldn't take care of everything. At this time, a white lightning bolt as thick as an arm suddenly descended from mid-air and heavily struck the middle-aged man's protective light shield, easily shattering it and striking the middle-aged man's body directly. The latter only had time to let out a miserable cry before turning into a charred corpse that fell to the ground. The blue python also disappeared immediately, transforming back into a transparent blue orb that fell to the ground, but suddenly burst open a moment later, turning into tiny blue lights that vanished.
At the same time, the young woman's blue silk handkerchief, although covering a considerable area and also having a pair of flying knives constantly swinging to cover her from the side, ultimately could not withstand this relentless fierce attack. She finally revealed an opening under the joint attack of the puppet and the law array, let out a shrill cry, and was cut into several segments by two or three golden lights.
All this happened almost in one or two breaths, and the two miserable cries were also only separated by a twinkling of an eye.
This young woman is just mediocre in terms of ability, if not for her somewhat good looks and clever thinking, she wouldn't be able to form a team with the other two.
That unremarkable short and stout middle-aged man was also a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but his actual strength was much stronger than that of the young woman at the same stage, and even surpassed that of the old Daoist in the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
He was so quickly destroyed by Zhao Di because the main cultivation method of his demon gate, "Dragon Summoning Technique", although powerful and mighty, required a short period of time to refine the dragon soul before casting. However, Zhao Di happened to be particularly ruthless towards him, launching intense and uninterrupted dense attacks from start to finish, leaving this person no chance to exert his strength.
In the past, when this trio teamed up to hunt demons or deal with other cultivators, it was always the old man who made the first move to entangle the opponent, the middle-aged man would cast his secret technique, and the young woman would provide cover from the side. After the middle-aged man finished casting his spell, he would join forces with the old man to attack the enemy together. As a result, even if their opponents were slightly stronger, they still had an extremely high win rate under the trio's coordinated teamwork.
Unfortunately, they never expected that Zhao Di, who seemed to be alone, would have so many helpers. The law array, the puppet, and the ghost slave turned them into the objects of attack instead.
After the first wave of attacks by the puppets and the formation, the originally formidable trio of killers who robbed treasures was left with only the old Taoist in the late stage of the Cong Dan still struggling!
This was not because the old Dao's magic weapon or strength were higher, but because Zhao Di intentionally concentrated most of his attacks on these two mid-term Jiedan cultivators, seeking a quick victory.
As expected, with a flicker of his eyes, he settled the other two, and Zhao Di ordered the puppets to lock their target onto Lao Dao's body.
The old man actually used a very rare copper coin-shaped magic treasure, this blue crystal-like, about one meter in diameter round magic treasure kept spinning around, covering the front of the old man's body, and there was a two-foot square hole in the middle, from which a large number of bowl-mouth thick and thin blue light columns continuously sprayed out, counterattacking Zhao Di, but were easily blocked by the puppet holding a shield in front of him.
This copper coin-like artifact was unexpectedly versatile in both offense and defense, with extraordinary power, allowing the old man to hold on for a moment.
"Spare the life of Qianji Gate's Daoist friend, I and your sect's Feng Changlao are old friends who have gone through thick and thin together!" When the puppet and formation attacks shifted their focus to the old man, he immediately showed a weak appearance and hastily begged for mercy.
He merely guessed from the foundation period puppet that the other party might be a practitioner of Qianji Gate, and therefore attached himself to seek a thread of life.
This kind of nonsense spoken for the sake of survival, Zhao Di would not easily believe. Moreover, even if the other party was telling the truth, Zhao Di would never leave behind such a potentially troublesome loose end!
He will definitely remember his high-ranking spirit stone with the same degree of greed he showed at first!
Mercy towards enemies is being irresponsible towards one's own life!
Zhao Di sneered and said sarcastically, "I've taken note of this sentence. If I have the chance in the future, perhaps I'll help you pass it on to Feng Changlao of Qianji Gate. I hope that by then, Feng Changlao won't be disheartened by your downfall!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Di suddenly let out a loud shout, and his body's purple aura instantly surged violently, rapidly gathering at his fingertips. Along with Zhao Di's sudden pointing gesture, a purple light beam about the thickness of a finger shot out, and in an instant it arrived before the old man.
The speed of the purple light was far above any other attack, and even if the old man wanted to escape, he didn't have such a fast escape!
This seemingly inconspicuous purple light easily broke through the blue light columns one by one, and without slowing down, shot into the four-square hole in the center of the copper coin treasure, directly piercing a hole as big as an inch on the old Taoist's back and his protective spiritual light.
This cave was right on Lao Dao's Dantian, he let out a muffled hum and fell to the ground.
From the three men's attempt to besiege Zhao Di, to Zhao Di taking action and killing the three men, it only took a few dozen breaths. After putting away his puppet and the golden bell on his head, Zhao Di easily and skillfully took all of their storage bags and treasures, then turned their corpses into ashes.
Afterwards, he ordered the two women to close the formation, and he himself calmly dealt with the ink python in front of him.
This dragon-like monster is all treasure!
The inner elixir doesn't need to be mentioned, it can refine the high-grade Huixiao Dan, which has a huge boost to the cultivation of Bingfeng Python. Even if it is swallowed directly, it can bring great benefits to it.
The demon soul of the Jiao class is also a must-have for the cultivation of some special secret methods by the Youmen Sheng, especially this sixth-level Jiao-class demon soul, which can be used to cast some extremely powerful Youmen spells.
In addition, the vertebrae, whiskers, tendons, horns, eyeballs, sharp claws and tail fins of Jiaolong are all excellent materials for refining instruments and making treasures. The soft but extremely hard scales on the body of Jiaolong are also the top material for making protective armor!
Such good things, Zhao Di will not let go either!
Anyway, there was plenty of time, he carefully collected all the materials, and then burned the remaining corpses, and ordered the two women to gather up the law array and leave this place.
In mid-air, Zhao Di transformed into a blue light and flew away, also taking the opportunity to investigate the storage bag that the three people had sent over.
After a burst of excitement, Zhao Di's expression changed dramatically as he stared at something, and couldn't help but mutter in admiration: "It's truly a case of 'breaking iron shoes without searching' - it's come to me effortlessly!"
