Chapter 27: Not everyone can be robbed

  "Alright, it's refreshing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask." said Shen, the repair master with a smile.

  "That day I went to the Xiuzhen town, how did you know? Besides you, who else knows about this matter. Also, how did you know today that I was leaving from here?" Ishikawa asked a series of questions he had been wanting to ask.

  "These two things are actually connected. The day you went to Xiu Zhen Town, I happened to run into you. At that time, I didn't know you were from Shui Ling Men. Lu Zhicong learned from a shopkeeper that you had bought a large amount of Dan medicine and contacted Feng Yun brothers, Qiu Yun, and me to ambush you together. However, at that time, I had something more important to do, so I didn't go, but your appearance, I did remember."

  As he spoke, the expression on Shen's face changed slightly: "I thought this matter was already settled. Unexpectedly, I saw you again that day in the tea room. After a thorough investigation, I found that you are different from other inner disciples. To be honest, we have been waiting for you here since this afternoon, and as expected, you really appeared. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

  "So, apart from you few people, no one else knows that I've been to Xiūzhēn Town?" Ishikawa's expression changed, seemingly considering something.

  "It can be said that way." Shen surname Sheng laughed loudly: "Shi Shidi, this sentence of yours seems to have a feeling of killing someone and silencing them!"

  "If that's really the case, I can take action with a clear conscience." Ishikawa waved his hand and four heavenly puppeteers appeared before the five people.

  Ishikawa drew a sword and charged at Shen, a Taoist priest.

  As soon as these five Heavenly Puppeteers appeared, those few cultivators immediately fell into disarray.

  "Brothers, these puppets are all at the first level of Qi Refining, as long as they don't attack us, it's fine. First, let me kill Ishikawa." The Shen surname cultivator saw Ishikawa rushing towards him, his face slightly changed. After all, he had seen Ishikawa's duel with Hua Xiong before, and with his strength, he was not much stronger than Hua Xiong. In order to be safe, he brought four people over, and also carried the Vajra talisman on him.

  These four Heavenly Yuan puppets are not the same as the first-level puppets of the past, after being repaired by Ishikawa, they are now all at the third level of Qi Refining stage, and with their entire bodies made of red copper casting, they are not afraid of these cultivators' Xuan Tie flying swords.

  "Shen Shixiong, my flying sword is broken. These puppets are too strong." a fourth-layer Qi Refining cultivator shouted.

  "What a waste." The Shen surname cultivator cursed loudly, but seeing Ishikawa rush towards him, he still threw out the Vajra Seal.

  Water arrow, ice thorn.

  Shen surname repairman looked at his own released spell hit on Ishikawa's body, and there was no effect at all. The thin layer of light shield outside Ishikawa's body protected him from any harm.

  "How is this possible?" As Ishikawa drew closer, a cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Shen surname cultivator. In his heart, he cursed: "What kind of background does this kid have? He's only at the first level of Qi Refining, how can he have so many treasures?"

  Pierce!

  Ishikawa's Xuan Tie sword was thrusting straight at the chest of Shen surname cultivator.

  Ishikawa's training in mystic arts didn't last long, so the number of earth-based techniques he could use was limited. The fastest way to settle a fight was with one sword strike to the throat.

  Shen surname repairman brandished the diamond shield, and with just a slight dodge, he also brought out the flying sword to engage in a fierce battle with Ishikawa. He wanted to try and see what this outer layer of light shield on Ishikawa was all about.

  "Pffft!"

  Ishikawa's Xuan Tie sword shone with a thread of golden light, easily piercing Shen's Vajra shield, and dug out a big hole in the Taoist robe on Shen's chest.

  "How is this possible!" The Shen surname cultivator threw out a talisman, instantly retreating over three zhang in distance, barely avoiding being stabbed by Ishikawa's xuan iron sword.

  And his Kamen Rider form was completely destroyed.

  "Practitioners below the fifth layer of Qi Refining period, how can you possibly break through my Golden Shield?" The Shen surname practitioner looked at Shi Chuan's Xuan Tie sword and shouted loudly: "You actually cultivated Earth-based techniques, no way, even if you have Earth-based techniques to enhance your strength, it is still impossible for you to pierce through my Golden Shield."

  "Go die!" A crazed Shen surname cultivator flung out a cyan-colored talisman.

  "Lei Fu?" Ishikawa's face changed, and he hastily used the Earth Escape Technique of the Earth System to escape a few feet away, barely avoiding the explosion range of the Lei Fu. However, his true shield still consumed a lot of spiritual power.

  To know, being attacked by Master Shen's water arrows for hundreds of times is far less damaging to one's spiritual energy than a single strike from Lei's talisman.

  This time, Ishikawa would not give the Shen surname cultivator any more chances. A spear over a zhang long suddenly emerged from the ground and shot towards him. Ishikawa leaped forward and added another sword to the cultivator's chest.

  The two blows were almost simultaneous, and the Shen surname monk was dead beyond all doubt.

  Ishikawa took a deep breath, having just used the Earth Spear technique, which had consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, and he needed to rest for a moment.

  Ishikawa grabbed his luggage with one hand and turned back to look at the other four monks.

  "Shen Shixiong!" The four of them had not expected that Shi Chen, who seemed to be only at the first level of Qi Refining, would be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, Shen, the strongest cultivator among them, had already been killed by Shi Chen.

  The four of them each dealt with a Tianyuan puppet, although it was a bit difficult, but they could still cope. It's just that this Tianyuan puppet was too sturdy, and no matter what magic weapon or spell, it was hard to break through the Tianyuan puppet's defense, which made the four people feel depressed.

  "This puppet is too sturdy, let's kill Ishikawa first. Without his control, this puppet will naturally become a pile of scrap metal." A cultivator at the fifth layer of Qi Refining shouted loudly.

  "Kill!" The four people's eyes turned red and they rushed towards Ishikawa's direction.

  "Think it's that easy?" Ishikawa unleashed a spell, and the four Tianyuan puppets immediately went into a frenzy.

  The method of creating puppets by Tianyuan Dao people is truly unparalleled in the world. These four puppets are not just simple meat shields, their movements are also extremely agile.

  Ishikawa controlled the four puppets to charge towards that strongest Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivator. He himself charged towards those three Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivators.

  "It's essential to get rid of these few people as soon as possible, otherwise if they find something amiss and want to escape, I won't be able to stop them." Ishikawa thought to himself, holding the Xuan Tie sword, and clashed with the three men.

  Several water system techniques were applied to Ishikawa's body, but they were repelled by the true shield and bounced back. While dodging, Ishikawa secretly cast a spell.

  Their magic and attacks were mere tickles to Ishikawa under the protection of the True Shield, but the spiritual energy on the True Shield was also being consumed at an extremely fast rate.

  If it weren't for the need to kill the four as soon as possible, Ishikawa wouldn't have been willing to waste so much spiritual power stored in his True Shield.

  "Rise!" Ishikawa let out a loud shout. Four earthen walls rose up in response, surrounding Ishikawa and three Qi-training fourth-layer cultivators together.

  These three people are like turtles in a jar, and Ishikawa is not afraid of them escaping.

  Earth spear, earth halberd, dark iron sword strikes.

  In almost three breaths, a cultivator in the fourth layer of Qi Refining fell under Ishikawa's consecutive attacks.

  "How is this possible?" The two cultivators at the fourth layer of Qi Refining looked at each other in shock.
