Ch119 - The Melee Begins

The next day, Liu Mufeng set up the barrier and continued to refine the detoxification pills.

Seeing Liu Mufeng start to refine pills, Jiang Xu protected his lover with his sword in his arms. The third-level array mage who spoke yesterday and his three friends also came to Jiang Xu’s side, volunteering to help protect Liu Mufeng during refining.

“My name is Wang Yan. What do I call our Fellow Daoist?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the mage asked.

“Oh, my name is Jiang Xu.” Glancing at Wang Yan, Jiang Xu introduced himself.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Jiang. How did you and your partner get deceived by Tao Yu?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Wang Yan asked again.

So Jiang Xu narrated how the two of them got deceived by Tao Yu.

Hearing Jiang Xu’s speech, Wang Yan nodded. “It’s the same as our experience of being deceived. First, we started talking about finding people to form a team and find opportunities. Then he used the beauty tricks, and our wine was poisoned while we weren’t paying attention.” Speaking of this, Wang Yan gritted his teeth in anger and rage.

“When my partner and I were carried to the yard, I heard that Tao Yu had three Senior Brothers, and they each captured 100 people and would sacrifice a total of 400 people for the array.” Jiang Xu frowned when he said this.

“So many people.” Wang Yan couldn’t help frowning as well.

“Yeah, these crazy bastards. They want to sacrifice us all.” Jiang Xu was also full of resentment.

“Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Jiang’s Dao companion helped everyone in detoxifying the poison. Otherwise, we will still be good for nothing until death.”

“No, these bastards are going too far!”

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, everyone’s storage rings have been taken away. How did your Dao Companion refine pills?”

Hearing someone ask this, Jiang Xu smiled. “My partner has a storage necklace that hadn’t been taken away.”

In Lingwu Continent, the only storage props were storage rings and bags. However, the storage props in the Shengtian Continent were all-encompassing. There were not only storage rings but also storage earrings, storage necklaces, storage bracelets, storage belts, and even storage hairpins, etc., all kinds of storage props. Before, when they were in a small town, Mufeng bought a large storage necklace.

“Oh, that was fortunate.” Nodding, everyone expressed their understanding.

“Oh, so it’s a Firefly! It looks like a Fire Spirit Insect!” Having said this, Wang Yan smiled. These insects really looked like the Fire Spirit Insects, one of the ancient Five Elements Spirit Insects. However, upon closer inspection, there were no royal markings on them.

“Fellow Daoist Wang really knows how to joke. The Fire Spirit Insects have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. So, where could we see Fire Spirit Insects? The Fireflies and the Fire Spirit Insects are far different from each other.” Mufeng’s Primordial Spirit Insects, though it was not so easy to be completely reborn as a Five Elements Spirit Insects, were now quite close in their bloodlines.

“Yeah, the Fire Spirit Insects have long been extinct. So now not many Spirit Insects have the bloodlines of the Five Elements Spirit Insects.” Nodding, Wang Yan agreed.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, you said that we really couldn’t do anything about this array? If we can’t escape in advance, we can only wait until the time of sacrifice.” Looking at Wang Yan, Jiang Xu helplessly asked to divert the topic from the insects.

“There is no other way but to wait until they let us out.”

“However, I heard that Tao Yu and his Three Senior Martial Brothers also have a Master in the Spiritual King Realm. So even if there are a hundred of us, the chances of escaping are not high.” Jiang Xu frowned deeply.

Hearing this, everyone on Wang Yan’s side sighed. “If I knew how to get out, how could I not think of a way? It’s really impossible to get out!”

“Yeah, Wang Yan is not someone who doesn’t care about the life and death of others. Unfortunately, this time, he has no choice.”

“We have a hundred people now. Can’t we still deal with a Spiritual King Realm cultivator?”

“But Tao Yu and the others are quite a few in number.” This matter still made Jiang Xu a little worried.

“Are there many of them? What should we do then?”

“Yeah, more than 30 of us are in the Spiritual Realm. If we are really going to fight, I’m afraid we won’t have the advantage.” Thinking of this, Wang Yan frowned deeply.

Hearing Wang Yan’s words, everyone looked a little disappointed.

Liu Mufeng saved most people on the first day and the remaining small number the next day. Then, on the third day, Liu Mufeng took out a bunch of strangely shaped third-level magic tools, and everyone was shocked.

“These magic tools were made by my partner. Everyone can make do with one piece. They should be arriving at Phoenix Mountain soon.” Looking at the crowd, Liu Mufeng said.

Many eyes fell on Jiang Xu. At this moment, everyone was thinking,‘Fellow Daoist Jiang, you ah, the magic weapons you made are too ugly, right?’

“I.. I’m a crafting enthusiast, and I learned crafting by myself.” Jiang Xu felt a little embarrassed when everyone looked aghast. Looking at those instruments, he was embarrassed to say he was a craftsman. He complained in his heart, ‘Xiaoyuan, can’t you refine the magic weapon to look better? I’m ashamed to be the one carrying the blame!’

“Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Jiang.” Bowing his head, Wang Yan was the first to thank them and went with his three friends to choose the magic weapon.

Seeing that someone had chosen the magic weapon, the others immediately went to pick theirs. These magic tools were really ugly, but it was always better to have something than go empty handed, not to mention there would be a fierce fight in a while. One would be sure to just drop dead without a magic weapon.

After receiving the magic weapon, everyone was very grateful and stepped forward to thank Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

Touching a Y-shaped sword from among the many weapons,Rose thought,‘Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu are quite greedy. After taking everyone’s storage ring, each was given a detoxification pill and a hideous magic weapon. Moreover, this group of people are also grateful to them! But, alas, this deal is really not worth it!’

Not long after they got the magic weapon, everyone felt a whirlwind. Then, everyone was released from the array plate.

After Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu left the array, they saw an altar with corpses scattered everywhere. Tao Yu was the Fourth Martial Brother, and the other 300 people had already been killed after they were released from the array. Looks like they were the last wave of 100 people.

Looking at the bloody corpses lying on the altar, Liu Mufeng once again felt the cruelty of this world of self-cultivation. Three hundred people, that’s three hundred lives! Gone!

Jiang Xu’s eyes were stimulated by looking at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him. He also felt that Tao Yu and his group murdered many innocent cultivators for their selfishness. This method was too ruthless.

“What, what’s going on?” A cultivator with a white beard and white hair was shocked to see that none of the last hundred people were poisoned. The three Martial Brothers, Tao Yu and the men in black, were also shocked.

“Tao Yu, you are so bold. How dare you conspire with outsiders to deceive our Master?” Looking at Tao Yu, the Senior Brother was the first to attack him.

“No, I, I didn’t, and I don’t know how this could happen?” Tao Yu was also dumbfounded when he saw all the hundred people staring at him furiously.

“You evil creature.” With a loud shout, the old man slapped Tao Yu directly.

“No, Master, it was not me, not me!” Tao Yu helplessly explained as his body fell into a pool of blood.

“Come here, kill them all, hurry up!” The old man urged anxiously.

“Yes!” In response, the three Senior Disciples and more than fifty black-clothed cultivators fought with Liu Mufeng and the others.

The two groups of people fought endlessly in the sea of corpses and blood. Wang Yan and his three friends, holding swords, surrounded the white-haired old man. He entangled the cultivator of the Spiritual King Realm with a sword formation.

Liu Mufeng knew that even though the four could use sword formations to defeat the enemy, they still seemed weaker against the other side’s Spiritual King Realm. Therefore, without saying a word, he directly released his own Beast Fire to sneak attack.

The Flame Eagle flew mid-air, spitting out a fireball from time to time to attack the Spiritual King Realm cultivator, which significantly reduced the pressure on Wang Yan and the others.

Seeing Wang Yan was fighting very hard, Jiang Xu also released his Flame Bear to help.

The cultivator of the Spiritual King Realm, who was sneak attacked by two Beast Fires, was very annoyed. Being surrounded by a group of ants he despised, but he couldn’t kill them, made his teeth itch with hatred.

Luo Yuanjing’s side and Liu Mufeng’s side scuffled together for quite a while. As a result, many people died on both sides. Seeing Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng use Beast Fire to sneak up on their Master, the Senior and Second Senior Brothers quickly rushed and launched an attack on them.

Jiang Xu faced the Senior Brother. This Senior Brother also has the strength of the Nine Stars in the Spiritual Master Realm. Still, his swordsmanship was obviously not as good as Jiang Xu’s. Therefore, this Senior Brother did not have the advantage in the fight.

On the other side, the Second Senior Brother was facing Liu Mufeng. Liu Mufeng used his wood spiritual techniques directly in the first round. After that, green rays of light flew out from Liu Mufeng’s body. They turned into strips of purple vines as his woodQijoined the Wisteria Vines and attacked the Second Senior Brother.

Seeing the overwhelming violet vines attacking him, the Second Senior Brother immediately used his own spiritual techniques. He turned his spiritual power into blue knives. Then, he slashed directly at the violet vines that were gliding past him like spiritual snakes.

He rapidly cut off one vine after another of the Wisteria Vines. The Second Senior Brother suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left calf. He looked down and saw that a Wisteria Vine had pierced his calf.

“Damn it!” Gritting his teeth in pain, the Second Senior Brother directly slashed the vine with the magic knife.

“Qiang qiang!” The knife slashed on the vine, making a muffled sound, but the vine was not damaged.

He couldn’t believe his eyes, but he swung the knife again and continued to chase after the uncuttable Wisteria Vines. However, his hands and feet were entangled by other Wisteria Vines.
