Chapter 169: All Killed, Inner Plans
The sword formation above was locked on Meng Er, as if it would fall at any moment. This scene filled him with immense fear, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
In fact, he had noticed the sword formation long ago, because it would take some time to seriously injure him in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the Soul-Devouring Bees had attracted most of his attention, and with the interference of the Soul-Binding Rope, he simply ignored it.
Even if they used the Blood Burning Secret Technique now, there wouldn't be much chance of survival.
"I hate it!"
Meng Er roared inwardly. Above his head, the sword energy intertwined into a net, and the silver torrent had transformed into an inverted galaxy, emitting a low "humming" sound.
The next second, it crashed into the talismans and numerous magical artifacts that he had prepared in advance.
The jade pendant on his chest, the small bronze cauldron at his waist, and the ancient jade mirror on his sleeve all lit up with spiritual light at the same time. These were all his protective magical artifacts, and they were all activated to their limits at this moment.
However, the sword formation's advance was not hindered in the slightest. With a slight pause, it tore apart all the various techniques.
Thousands of sword energies crisscrossed the heavens and earth. Meng Er's robes did not last long before turning into fragments and scattering. Although he himself had not yet perished, he had become a bloodied and swaying figure.
"Buzzing..."
At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Bees, arriving a little late, finally arrived. The strong smell of blood had already aroused their instincts, but with the queen bee in front, they dared not rush forward.
The queen bee had just swallowed Meng San, the first time it had ever eaten a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Now that another one was being offered to it, it was not about to let him go.
......
After a heart-wrenching scream, the Soul-Devouring Bees flew back to Zhang Lingyu's spirit beast pouch, satisfied, bringing with them the magical artifacts and storage bags left behind by the Meng brothers.
Zhang Lingyu took the storage bag without looking at it closely, and put it away on her own. Then she took out a few pills and put them in her mouth.
His face was pale at this moment. He had just used the Azure Lotus Sword Formation, which had consumed too much of his magic power. He had already used up some magic power while flying.
Fighting two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in succession, while simultaneously wielding the flying shuttle and the Spirit Binding Rope, is no easy feat. Without the assistance of the Spirit Devouring Bees, it would be difficult to predict who would win.
"I really can't be so reckless in the future."
This was the first time he had used the Azure Lotus Sword Formation in a group attack. Its power was a good thing, but if the attack missed or was blocked by someone else, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
After taking the pill, his complexion finally improved, and he then looked at Meng Da and the other man who were still arguing.
Although Meng Da was slightly stronger than the other, his mind was in turmoil due to the tragic deaths of his two younger brothers. In addition, the old man's desperate obstruction managed to stop him.
"This old man is actually quite capable."
Zhang Lingyu did not intend to go forward immediately. He had killed the other party's two younger brothers. If he got close, Meng Da would risk self-destruction, and he would be in big trouble.
So he simply stood there with his hands behind his back, observing.
Zhong Ziyu was overjoyed to see the young man kill two mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in succession. Now there was only Meng Da left. With a little more effort, he could kill them all.
At that time, I might even get a sip of soup.
To his surprise, Zhang Lingyu simply watched and did not offer any help.
Now that Meng Da was becoming increasingly deranged, and the time for him to use the Blood Burning Secret Technique was almost up, then it would truly be dangerous. He could only grit his teeth and shout:
"Young friend, please lend me a hand! I'm willing to offer half of the spiritual resources in my storage bag!"
"oh?"
Hearing the shouts, Zhang Lingyu was slightly surprised. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to rush into battle herself and instead sent the Soul-Devouring Bees to assist her.
However, considering Meng Da's formidable strength, he secretly controlled his flying sword to assist him from the side.
The swarm of bees, which blotted out the sky, instantly enveloped the two of them. The oppressive atmosphere made Zhong Ziyu feel a little suffocated, but fortunately, with the support of these spirit insects, the pressure on him was greatly reduced.
After the tragic deaths of his two younger brothers, Meng Da had long harbored a death wish. He frantically used magic and artifacts to attack the swarming bees, hoping to create an opening and rush towards Zhang Lingyu to take revenge.
Unfortunately, every time one swarm died, another fearless swarm would take its place. Coupled with the occasional sneak attacks from the queen bee and flying swords lurking in the shadows, he simply couldn't break through.
"A great opportunity!"
After taking a few pills, Zhong Ziyu's magical power had recovered somewhat. Taking advantage of the opponent's distraction, he threw out the small seal in his hand again, smashing the man to the ground and causing him to vomit blood.
With the help of this attack, Zhang Lingyu finally seized the opportunity and directly summoned a low-grade fourth-order talisman.
Meng Da, who already had little magical power, was severely injured and had no ability to fight back. Just as he was about to make up his mind to self-destruct, everything went black and he stopped breathing.
"This is..."
Zhong Ziyu saw it most clearly. In his perception, Meng Da's physical body hadn't suffered a fatal blow; rather, it was his soul that was damaged...
That's right, Meng Da's soul is not strong. Just now, Zhang Lingyu did not only use the flying sword, but also secretly hid a small needle targeting the soul in the bee swarm.
That's right, Meng Da's soul is not strong. Just now, Zhang Lingyu did not only use the flying sword, but also secretly hid a small needle targeting the soul in the bee swarm.
I got this from Li Heihu.
With the poison on the small needles targeting the soul and his own Soul-Destroying Thorn, Meng Da is now nothing but an empty shell.
As for why he wanted to preserve his physical body, it was because he obtained a secret technique for refining corpses from Li Heihu. This technique could be combined with many spiritual objects to allow the deceased cultivator to retain their cultivation level from their previous life.
Zhang Lingyu had intended to refine a body for his family, but the physical bodies of Foundation Establishment cultivators were rare, and now that he had finally seized the opportunity, how could he let it go?
"sharp..."
Zhong Ziyu trembled as he looked at the corpse in front of him, and awkwardly withdrew his hand that was about to reach for the storage bag.
In fact, Zhang Lingyu had already noticed this behavior. He vividly remembered the old man's previous attempt to use him as bait. If he were to have any wicked thoughts now...
Don't blame him for being impolite.
Now that Meng Da was dead, the Soul-Devouring Bees began dragging his corpse back to their master. Zhang Lingyu reached out and took the storage bag, then put the corpse away.
He didn't leave immediately, but quietly watched the old man opposite him.
"Young friend, you are truly skilled! I admire you greatly!"
Zhong Ziyu, disregarding his injuries and not daring to approach, merely bowed from a distance and said:
"I stopped you just now out of sheer desperation. I'm old and my eyesight is failing. Plus, the other party was dressed in the attire of the Tranquil Pavilion, which is why I was blinded by these three scoundrels."
"To repay your life-saving grace, young friend, I will not take any of their storage bags!"
Zhong Ziyu kept changing the subject, speaking in a grand and respectable manner, but never mentioning the agreed-upon compensation.
"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Zhang Lingyu said calmly:
"You used me as bait, so you shouldn't have been able to escape anyway. I've already let this matter go, so do you intend to renege on your debt?"
"How...how could I dare?"
Zhong Ziyu quickly said, "I was just afraid that you wouldn't like my things..."
"Heh, whether you like it or not, just bring it out first!"
