Chapter 46: Self-Destruction

  "You want to be a good person, yet why bother setting up that useless archway? If you're going to kill people and steal their goods, then why say so much nonsense? Hmph, it seems like you don't even qualify as evil people, you're just shameless petty individuals." Wén Tāo's voice echoed in the minds of Xuán Líng and the others, this time he didn't hold back, it was his true voice.

  "Who..." Xuan Ling was shocked, but he wasn't afraid of this matter being spread out. From the beginning, he had spoken with great eloquence. The key to the problem was that this person's tone was clearly malicious, and yet they hadn't discovered such a character existed.

  Wen Tao jumped down from a tree 100 meters away, and after several leaps, he arrived near the back of Xuan Ling and others. Wen Tao wasn't thinking about launching a sneak attack. He hadn't become so stubborn as to ignore those outdated rules when his life was on the line. At a distance of 100 meters, relying on his innate high-level skills, they focused their attention on Ling Lan, allowing Wen Tao to quietly follow behind them. If he wanted to sneak up and launch a surprise attack, unless Wen Tao had some kind of magical treasure, it would be impossible.

  Unfortunately, there were many good things in Wentai's storage ring, but he didn't have a real attack magic weapon that he could use.

  "Who are you?" Suddenly, someone appeared behind them, and the group of people including Xuán Líng were shocked and retreated to one side. The flying sword was still locked onto Líng Lán, afraid that she would escape, forming a three-way standoff with Líng Lán and Wén Tāo.

  When she saw him running away, Ling Lan was also very surprised. She was shocked by her own master, everything about him was so unexpected. How did he follow her? How did he know that she had been kidnapped and killed?

  "When things are not fair, someone will take care of it. When the road is not flat, someone will shovel it. I am the one who sees that the road is not flat." Wentao looked very righteous and proud, this kind of dialogue is really... enough to test one's shamelessness.

  Wen Tao said that, the clever nine-tailed celestial fox understood what was going on. She knew her master must have some plan, so she didn't make a sound to acknowledge him either, pretending to be completely unacquainted with him.

  Xuanling and his two companions did not expect Cheng Yaojin to suddenly appear halfway, Xuanjing and Xuanning both looked at Xuanling, he had the most experience and had been to Shu Mountain, and his cultivation was also the highest. Because of their gaze, the young man in front of them simply wasn't a cultivator.

  "I don't know which mountain gate you are from, but we are the walkers of the secular world of the He Shan Sect. Today, we encountered a demon fox and were about to get rid of it for the people, but I don't know why you stopped us." Xuan Ling was as cunning as they were, and he secretly instructed his two junior brothers to keep a close eye on this fox. If they could catch a yuan ying period fox, especially one from the Shu Shan realm, it would definitely allow their strength to increase.

  Wen Tao was now very close to Ling Lan, and while speaking, he continued to walk towards her: "What Crane Mountain Sect, I've never heard of it before. Don't think that just because you know a few evil techniques and have flying swords, you can fool people. I think you old Daoists have ulterior motives, seeing a beautiful woman and saying she's a demon. Do you think this is like watching the Legend of the Gods, with so many demons?"

  "Hmm... The three of them were all stunned by what Wén Tāo said, thinking to themselves: This guy... can't possibly not understand anything at all, right?"

  Xuan Ming Dao said: "Senior brother, don't waste your breath on him. This person is probably already under the fox demon's spell. Cut off the weeds and eliminate the roots, I'll take care of killing this person."

  No wonder they are brothers, Xuan Ming's words have struck a chord in Xuan Ling and Xuan Jing's hearts. The two of them exchanged a glance, already in agreement.

  Wen Tao practices external kung fu, not Tai Chi. He never emphasizes the concept of "after the enemy has made the first move". In his opinion, attacking is the best defense. The reason he does this is to lower their guard, and another reason is...

  "Next...!" Dragon Whip, Xuanwu Armor was thrown to Ling Lan.

  Ling Lan had long been prepared, her body moving in an instant. By the time Xuan Ling and the others wanted to stop her, it was already too late.

  Ling Lan was shocked after crossing the Linglan Boundary, and found that both the Jiaolong Whip and the Xuanwu Armor were unowned treasures. Moreover... the Jiaolong Whip was a high-grade spiritual artifact, while the Xuanwu Armor, although only a mid-grade spiritual artifact, was even more precious due to being a defensive treasure.

  These two pieces of artifacts, Ling Lan had heard of before. The Jiao Long Whip was said to be made from the tendons of a Jiao Dragon that was about to ascend, while the Xuan Wu Armor was said to be made from the shell of a thousand-year-old turtle. These two artifacts were among the top-notch in the spiritual artifact category, and they weren't much weaker than her own best ones originally.

  "Top-grade spiritual artifact......" Xuanling and the others didn't have Linglan's discerning eye, so they naturally couldn't recognize the Jiaolong whip and the Xuangwu armor. They only discovered that it was a top-grade spiritual artifact and their eyes had already turned red.

  Three people suddenly had a murderous intention. Just as they were attracted by the high-quality spiritual instrument, when Xuan Ming came back to his senses and thought of finding his target, that ordinary person was already gone.

  "Be careful......" Xuanling's consciousness was now fully dispersed, covering several hundred meters around him. Wentao suddenly flashed and rushed towards the side of Xuanning, Xuanling hastily reminded.

  Unfortunately, it was already too late. When Xuan Ming saw him, Wen Tao had already arrived in front of him, without any fancy moves, and punched Xuan Ming's face with a single fist. This was the first time Wen Tao fought against a cultivator, yet he showed no fear at all. Xuan Ming's flying sword returned in an instant, but unfortunately, before he could lock onto Wen Tao, Wen Tao's fist had already heavily smashed into his face again.

  A body that's only three to five times stronger than an ordinary person's, how could it withstand Wentai's fists that weighed thousands of kilograms? The entire facial bone emitted a cracking sound.

  "Junior brother..." Xuan Jing angrily shouted, driving his sword towards Wen Tao.

  Wen Tao's toes were fully powered and pointed at the heart of Xuan Ming, directly kicking it inward, shattering his heart. Wen Tao borrowed force to flash outward.

  Xuan Ming's flying sword lost control, fell, and Xuan Ming's eyes widened as he stared at the sky on the ground. He couldn't understand how he could die at the hands of an ordinary person. A Jindan period expert, even when facing a congenital sixth-level warrior, can easily kill him.

  Unless it's the kind of martial artist who has entered the Tao through martial arts, a congenital seventh-level warrior, breaking through the congenital seventh-level warrior, just barely reaching the early stage of Golden Elixir. Unfortunately, congenital seventh-level warriors have not appeared in the world for over 200 years.

  The strongest, but those few legendary innate sixth-grade warriors, how is that possible?

  Wen Tao couldn't help but think that Xuan Jing's flying sword was like a shadow, following his every move. The speed of the flying sword was incredibly fast. Wen Tao had already exerted all his strength to the limit, yet he was still in a precarious situation. This was still Xuan Jing being somewhat irrational with anger after Xuan Ming was killed.

  Although there was no time to refine it, with the top-grade spiritual artifact Dragon Whip, Ling Lan became a match for Xuan Ming, neither of them able to gain the upper hand. If given some time to refine the Dragon Whip and master more uses for it, its power would increase by at least three to five times, making him no longer afraid even if he were to face the three brothers of Xuan Ming alone again.

  His current body was very hard and ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate it, but Wentai knew that he absolutely couldn't withstand the impact of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

  It can't go on like this. Although Ling Lan is not at a disadvantage now, it's hard to end the battle in a short time. Consuming it obviously isn't a solution.

  It's all over

  "Ah……" Wēn Tāo's hands spun as an axis, his feet swept out in a circle, and the surrounding dozen meters were instantly shrouded in dust. He also instantly activated the Spirit Gathering Robe to increase his spiritual awareness, which reached the level of the early stages of Transcending Tribulations in an instant. Xuán Jìng had originally locked onto Wēn Tāo, but lost his target in that instant.

  He lost his target, and the massive dust suddenly increased. Although Ling Zhi couldn't find Wen Tao, Xuan Jing had learned from Xuan Ming's lesson earlier and knew that this dust was dangerous, so he flew up quickly.

  "Did you run away...... boom!" Wentao rushed out from under his feet and grabbed Xuanjing, who was about to fly up.

  "Get down for me"

  "Bang……" Heavily, Xuan Jing was slammed to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Wen Tao also rushed up, his fists pounding on Xuan Jing's body like a machine gun, bones shattering, and the parts of the body that were hit by the fists all caved in.

  "Ah......" Already knowing that it was hard to survive, Xuan Jing didn't react as slowly as Xuan Ming. In the end, he chose to perish together, and his golden elixir suddenly surged.

  "Be careful, master..."

  "Junior brother..."

  Ling Lan and Xuan Ling both gave up fighting and rushed over, but unfortunately, it was too late. The massive power of a Golden Core stage cultivator's self-destruction forced even Ling Lan and Xuan Ling, who were Nascent Soul stage cultivators, to dodge its edge.

  Brothers and friends, happy new year! If you have time to surf the internet and read books, don't forget to vote, now there are already few people, if everyone doesn't vote, the results will be bad.
