Dao

Half a day later in a lush mountain forest, two lights flashed across one after another in a rather fast speed. They were just ten meters above the ground. Huge wind waves swept the forest as they went by.

Shiao Chen took several spirit-nourishing pills out from his storage bag again and swallowed them all at once. A bitter smile sprawled his face since apart from that had been used in the Desolate Mountains, he had run out of around a thousand pieces of low-grade talismans that he traded in the Small Cliff Market in such a short period. All he left were just few high-grade ones.

Sensing Xuan Zhen was getting ever closer, Shiao Chen got serious and managed a cold smile.

“Hmm, what’s wrong? How come the little bastard not throwing talismans?” When Xuan Zhen was just 60 meters away from Shiao Chen, he slowed down by instinct but unexpectedly no talismans came to him. He was just wondering what happened.

Along the way, talismans taken out by Shiao Chen never seemed to be run out of. The number of the talismans by a rough calculation would be no less than a thousand pieces. Though these were low-grade ones, they all together still costed a large sum of spirit stones. Xuan Zhen even guessed that Shiao Chen might be a core disciple of a huge Sect.

“This little bastard has so many low-grade talismans. There are definitely high-grade ones in his hands, but he didn’t use them. What’s his hidden intention?” With a second thought, Xuan Zhen gradually slowed down and didn’t go further.

“The old thing is indeed very cunning. However, despite his slyness, he is not going to be the winner as usual.” Having identified Xuan Zhen’s misgivings, Shiao Chen immediately got corresponding countermeasures.

After a while, Shiao Chen looked back frequently and seemed to be flurried. What was more, even his spirit flows were out of control.

“Could it be that the little bastard is actually helpless rather than playing dumb?” Xuan Zhen went further and observed Shiao Chen carefully.

Not surprisingly, he saw hidden happiness in Shiao Chen’s eyes. Though it was not evident, but Xuan Zhen still identified it.

“The little bastard really does plot something. However, this kind of plotting is not enough to deceive me.” Sneering at Shiao Chen in his heart, Xuan Zhen performed a hand-seal stealthily and gradually came to Shiao Chen.

“Haha, old thing, go to hell!” Shiao Chen kept looking back and suddenly threw three talismans backwards when Xuan Zhen was just 30 meters to him. Though the talismans hadn’t burnt yet, the hidden violent spirit flows did reveal the possible power.

Xuan Zhen suddenly concentrated and couldn’t help being scared. The power released by the three talismans was nearly the same as a full attack made by a cultivator at middle-stage of Foundation Establishment. Fortunately, these talismans were not exploded immediately, or else he would be definitely heavily damaged.

“What a cunning bastard! He first pretends to be driven into a corner to make me less cautious, but later he would heavily wound me unexpectedly. And then he could escape without a slight hesitancy! However, I’ve been travelling around for many years. The little bastard is no match for me in terms of experience and wisdom!” With a cold smile, Xuan Zhen practiced the completed hand-seals immediately and his torus appeared again and became a larger circle with a radius about one and a half meters. He himself was totally guarded by the circle.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The three talismans exploded and numerous water vapor were generated. However, the vapor suddenly changed into thin water needles about 3cm long. All these needles went backwards to Xuan Zhen.

High-level water needle talisman!

With sustained sounds of hits on the torus by water needles, the torus’s light flickered and it quaked.

Xuan Zhen hastily input his spirits in the torus and finally stabilized it.

“Little bastard, what else do you get!” After water needles vanished, Xuan Zhen held his torus in hands and said to Shiao Chen with a ferocious smile. He walked further step by step towards Shiao Chen, who stood still and seemed to be petrified.

Hearing this, Shiao Chen seemed to have just come to himself. His fear was so evident that you could see it from his face. And now he was caught fleeing.
