Chapter 859: Man Will Do Anything in His Means For Riches

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Dao Master Poison’s face was full of contempt, but greed was visibly flashing in his eyes as he stared at Light’s flying sword. He had sharp eyes and insight and had followed his Master when he was young, where he saw the scenes of powerful cultivators who controlled and manipulated swords to fly.

Unfortunately, his sect didn’t have the heritage to refine the flying sword, let alone the arts to control it. He felt vexed due to the numerous times that he, as a cultivator, found himself not having a magical weapon such as a flying sword.

“There’s no use in having such a sharp mouth, brat!”

Dao Master Poison reluctantly took his eyes off the flying sword and slightly flicked his finger.

Light, who had been vigilantly observing Dao Master Poison, was keenly aware of this finger flick. He immediately flashed back to the middle between Electrolady and Aquababe. His flying swords hovered and danced in a circle mid-air, while both of his hands grabbed the two women’s shoulders as he instantly flashed to step on his flying sword and flew northward towards Qingcheng Mountain.

“You want to run?”

Dao Master Poison never expected that Light was so alert and powerful that he was even able to find out that he had secretly released a poisonous mist. His figure instantly turned into shadow as he pursued, only to find with amazement that this guy turned out to be able to control his flying sword to fly very fast. Even though he towed two people with him, his speed was on par with his flying speed limit.

That was truly a treasure!

The greed he already had turned more intense and he pumped out his speed to the maximum and burst forward in the blink of an eye to pursue him. In just more than ten breaths, the pursuit had passed through the county town and continued to the top of the mountain at the outermost part of Qingcheng Mountain.

At the entrance of the Qinglin County Public Security Bureau.

Tang Xiu suddenly looked up as his sharp eyes suddenly shifted to the northeast sky. He clearly saw several figures moving lightning fast and flying to the north.

‘It’s Light with Electrolady and Aquababe, while the one who chases them is Dao Master Poison.’

Tang Xiu clenched his fists and handed over the Invisibility charm to the other three men. Then, he grabbed Wang Rui’s shoulder and instantly soared to fly toward that direction.

At the mountain peak around Qingcheng Mountain.

Light’s wholly smiling face drastically changed as he put down Electrolady and Aquababe. It was because Aquababe looked fine, though she didn’t lack her vigilance as she flashed dozens of meters backward with a dagger in her hand. On the other hand, Electrolady spaced out and stood still as she watched Light’s handsome face, seemingly bewitched and intoxicated by him.

The sight was, nonetheless, quite amusing to Light, so he reached out to pat Electrolady’s pretty face, and he said with a chuckle, “Hey, Beauty. Wake up!”

“Ah, what?”

Electrolady seemed to have been dragged from a dream. Conscious of how much of a love-struck fool she just looked like, her stunning face immediately blushed ear to ear as she staggered two steps backwards and bashfully twisted and pinched her clothes.

Dao Master Poison then landed ten meters away from the trio and took out black gloves from his sleeve pouch and quickly wore them. Light’s speed was too fast, and even though he was confident in his own strength, he still had to be careful at this moment.

“Hand over your flying sword, Brat! I can spare you your death..”

“Wow, you’re catching up very fast, old loach!” Light let out a pale smile and said, “Never thought that your cultivation is also at Golden Core stage, more so at mid-stage nonetheless. No wonder you can strike my Grand Master so badly with your poison when he was slightly careless. I gotta admit that I might be unable to beat you in combat alone. But rest your worries, though. It’s not me who must clean you up since Grand Master should be here soon if my guess is correct.”

His Grand Master?

Dao Master Poison’s countenance changed and looked surprised as he asked, “Who’s your Grand Master?”

“Tsk, tsk… you seem to have lived for too long; to think that your intellect has deteriorated this much.” Light shook his head and smilingly said, “You ambushed my Grand Master with your poison. You sneak attacked and even injured him in the Qingcheng Monastery not long ago, am I right?”

Dao Master Poison’s pupils shrunk and he shouted in a heavy voice, “That youngster? He’s… your Grand Master? Are you kidding me? His strength is just equal to yours at most, how could he possibly be your Grand Master?”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A few figures appeared in front of Dao Master Poison in a flash. Tang Xiu put Wang Rui down as his eyes flickered and he coldly said, “Why can’t I be his Grand Master, even if my strength is just equal to his?”

“It’s really you.” Dao Master Poison was surprised, yet amazed at the same time. “But you have obviously been poisoned; I even struck you hard. How come you’re now…”

“You wanna know why, as if nothing happened to me, huh?” Tang Xiu grimly sneered and said, “Hehe, if I didn’t have a trivial method to dispel your poison, how could I be worthy to be his Grand Master then? Dao Master Poison, you poisoned me and keep provoking me, and yet you actually dare to stay in Qingcheng Mountain. Do you really think that you’re invincible here?”

Dao Master Poison was secretly turning vigilant and on guard. He had observed them and discovered that of the three people brought by Tang Xiu, two of them were cultivators, though very weak, whereas the last one seemed to be an average person who has practiced some trivial martial arts.

However, two of them were strong enemies at Golden Core cultivation stage, regardless. One of whom had powerful magical spells, while the other one had a magical flying sword. If he were to really clash with them head-on, he might not be able to seize the upper hand.
