Chapter 189: Abode
This aura its at least at twelfth stage Ki Refinement! Li Xiuming eximed grimly.
Senior, what do we do? Chaoxianggong Nisheng, who appeared to becking in worldly experience, anxiously turned to Li Xiuming and asked.
Easy. Li Xiuming grabbed Chaoxianggong Nishengs arm. Run!
The two of them immediately dashed off.
Those disloyal things! Li Daoye retorted.
Meanwhile, Xia Yun and his two juniors had fled as well.
T-this The dumbfounded Li Daoye hurriedly looked around for Fang Chen, but thetters back was already more than three hundred meters away. Damn it! My father told me that the world of cultivation is a cold ce, and I should be selfish. I see now that his words are wise!
He quickly ran in Fang Chens direction while shouting, Wait for me, young master Fang!
Fifteen secondster, the two of them hid behind a lofty, old tree.
Xia Yun and his two juniors werent that lucky. The stone fae had set its eyes on them and began charging in their direction. From time to time, it would spew pirs of green mes that reached over three hundred meters away that scorched everything within reach.
Xia Yun and his two juniors quickly channeled their spirit ki to protect themselves from the devastating green mes.
However, they soon realized that their spirit ki was swiftly depleted from fending against the green mesthey wouldntst long at this rate!
Bloody hell! I would be well done if even a lick of that green me reaches me! Li Daoye spat.
More like burnt to cinders. Fang Chen chuckled.
Young master Fang, dont say such words! Argh, this ce is more dangerous than I thought. We actually encountered something like that as soon as we stepped in here. Do you think thats really a fae? Li Daoye murmured. Should we help them?
How can we help them? Li Xiuming said that stone thing is at least at twelfth stage Ki Refinement. Well just be additional snacks for it if we head over, Fang Chen calmly analyzed the situation for Li Daoye.
He wouldnt be a match for a twelfth stage Ki Refinement cultivator even if he used all of his trump cards. Unless the circumstances were all on his side, and he used the Moonsunk Dragon Truncheon and Purple Lightning Talismans aptly, he might stand a sliver of chance.
Lets go. Fang Chen decisively turned around and left.
Li Daoye quickly followed him. Are you really going to abandon them?
You can go and help them. I wont stop you. I just wonder how long youllst running from that stone fae. Fang Chen harrumphed impatiently.
Li Daoye sheepishlyughed. Haha, loyalty is for suckers. I bet an eighth stage Ki Refinement cultivator like Xia Yun can easily shake off that fae.
He paused for a brief moment before adding, Treasures first. We shouldnt lose sight of why were here. Itd be great if we can find some artifacts, ki stones, pills, or spirit herbs here.
Fang Chen eyed Li Daoye.
Li Daoye and the others goal was to go treasure hunting, whereas his goal was to figure out the reason Enlightenment Heaven Supreme had pointed him here.
In the days toe, Fang Chen and Li Daoye continued exploring this area. They bumped into a few ferocious beasts in the meantime, but none of them were as threatening as the stone fae. Some of the beasts they chose to subdue, whereas the stronger ones they avoided.
The two of them had been dignified when they entered the cavern, but within a few short days, their clothes had be tattered and unseemly.
Tsk! I should have bought a mystic robe, Li Daoye grumbled as he tore off his tattered clothes and wrapped it around his waist.
He looked exhausted. Not only had he not found anything beneficial to cultivation over the past few days, but he had also suffered relentless attacks from ferocious beasts.
Young master Fang, did those Nightmare Knights fool us? Even we are being cornered here. What good stuff could those martial artists find in here? Or could they have already taken all of the good stuff in there? Li Daoye pondered with a frown. Should we retreat first? Lets leave this ce as soon as ten days are up. It wont be worth it if we lose our lives here.
Youre already thinking of retreating despite not having found the powerful cultivators abode yet? Fang Chen asked with a smile.
I suspect this is a scam. I dont think theres any abode here at all. Otherwise, we should have already found it by now, Li Daoye said.
Look at whats that. Fang Chen pointed not too far away with a smile.
That Li Daoye rubbed his eyes and looked over.
To his surprise, a few kilometers away from them, there was a hill with some buildings on it!
Is that it?! Hahaha! This is fantastic! I bet Xia Yun and the others havent found this ce yet. Lets make haste and grab whatevers good first! The fatigued Li Daoye suddenly experienced a newfound surge of energy, and he quickly rushed toward the hill.
Fang Chen leisurely followed him.
Just then, a ck shadow suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed Li Daoye before attempting to rise back up into the sky.
Without any hesitation, Fang Chen tossed two Purple Lightning Talismans on that ck shadow.
Li Daoye plopped onto the floor with a miserable cry. His body was a little charred. Had it not been for him protecting himself with his spirit ki in time, the Purple Lightning Talisman could have electrocuted him to death.
The Purple Lightning Talismans Fang Chen had tossed out were mid-grade; their destructive prowess were equivalent to an all-out attack from an eighth rank Ki Refinement cultivator. Yet, the ck shadow didnt incur any injuries from that attack.
It began circling the sky while coldly eyeing Fang Chen.
I nearly died to your Purple Lightning Talisman! Li Daoye hurriedly crawled over to Fang Chens side while retorting.
You would have already been dead if not for my Purple Lightning Talismans, Fang Chen calmly replied.
Li Daoye looked at the sky, and his face turned pale. Whats that thing? A bat fae?!
The ck shadow circling the sky resembled a human, but its face was like a ferocious ck dog, its body was covered in short ck hair, and it had a pair of ck bat wings. However, it had long limbs like a human being.
I dont know what that is, but it can fly, Fang Chen grimly replied.
They had met their fair share of strong beasts over the past few days, but none of them was capable of flight. It was troublesome that this beast was both strong and able to fly.
The ck shadow swooped down once more toward them at an incredible speed.
Fang Chen and Li Daoye immediately tossed out a couple more Purple Lightning Talismans.
Purple lightning furiously crackled, and the ck shadow quickly wrapped its wings around its body to shield itself. By the time the ck shadow unfurled its wings once more, it realized that Fang Chen and Li Daoye were already flitting toward the buildings sprawled on the hill.
Grar! the ck shadow howled as it chased after them.
Fang Chen and Li Daoye unhesitatingly tossed out a couple more Purple Lightning Talismans.
This repeated a few more times till the two of them finally reached the hill. Surprisingly, the ck shadow stopped in mid-air, not daring to continue pursuing them.
Young master Fang, I dont think it is able to get in here?! Li Daoye eximed in a furiously beating heart.
Fang Chen thought about it and said, Its probably reared by the owner of this ce, so it dares not to step into its owners abode.
That makes sense. Li Daoye heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to the ck shadow and taunted it, You useless bat. Why dont you continue chasing us, huh? You made me waste a couple of Purple Lightning Talismans. Do you know how much each of them is worth?!
The ck shadow could only roar helplessly at them. It shot onest furious re at them before vanishing in the horizon.
Lucky we have the Purple Lightning Talismans to chase it off, or else we would have died there. That beast looks to be at least at ninth stage Ki Refinement. Li Daoye patted his chest in relief.
However, he felt regretful too.
He had nned to sell the twenty Purple Lightning Talismans he had acquired from Fang Chen in Infernoze and make a killing. Yet, he had already used ten Purple Lightning Talismans in here. Unless he found a treasure that was worth 200 low-grade ki stones here, he would have made a huge loss.
