Chapter 860: Trapped Like A Turtle In The Jar

One-eyed Dragon was full of confidence and the pride of his was unintentionally shown in his speech and manner. Even his eyes when he looked at Tang Xiu contained some contempt and ridicule.
“Are you sure of it?” said Tang Xiu with a faint smile.
“This old man is certainly sure that those who can stop me in this world are very few, and you’re absolutely not one of them,” said One-eyed Dragon proudly. “It’s useless spitting out nonsensical things, kid. If you really have the means to keep this old man in check, how can you wait for me to appear then?”
Tang Xiu gently raised his hand and eight array disks appeared in his hands out of the blue. His body flickered, leaving afterimages behind in succession while he threw the eight array disks out in a flash. His hands danced in the air to inscribe the array diagram in the air as the Eight-Division Dragon Trap Array was successfully arranged in just over a second and completely activated, along with the injection of magical power.
Tang Xiu then returned to his original spot and gently stroked his chin with his finger as he smilingly said, “Now, I wanna see how will you escape. If you can break this array within ten minutes, I’ll spare your life, old blind man, but don’t blame me for being merciless when I erase your soul to never be able to be reincarnated again if you can’t do so.”
Array formation?
One-eyed Dragon and the badly scarred Dao Master Poison glanced at each other as they sweat out every pore. They were all cultivators, yet they knew utterly nothing about the array.
Even in regards to alchemy, they only had a rough knowledge of it and were only able to refine very ordinary medicinal pills.
They were literally ignorant about the two skills cultivators should usually excel with—alchemy and pill refining. Among the cultivators they were acquainted with, they knew none that were able to refine medicinal pills or weapons, let alone arrays which possessed mystical and magical effects.
“You… who exactly are you?” Trapped inside the array, One-eyed Dragon’s voice penetrated the golden-colored energy shield of the array as he asked aloud with a faint, pale complexion.
“If you want to know who I am, try to break through the array I just temporarily arranged if you have the ability,” replied Tang Xiu indifferently. “Of course, there will be more interesting things coming soon even if break through it, though. Shortly put, you can expect to end up very miserable today. And I promise you that it will be very tragic!”
With that said, he straightly ignored them and turned to look at Electrolady and Aquababe who were spacing out. He spoke to them with a smile, “Two ladies, have you been well since our last meeting?”
Aquababe’s lips twitched a few times and she replied with a wry smile, “If we knew that you were here, we wouldn’t have been required to come over, Mr. Tang. Besides, we didn’t know that these people were cultivators before we were sent here, and definitely didn’t know about their strength being this terrifying. It can be said that you’ve saved us yet again this time.”
“Speaking as a matter of fact, we can be said to be colleagues, so it’s proper to help each other in the first place.” Tang Xiu slightly smiled and said, “If anything, let me do the work here! You can take your leave first if you two have other things to tend to.”
“We can’t go back immediately without solving this first, Mr. Tang.” Aquababe looked hesitant when she replied, “Besides, I know that you don’t like troublesome matters, so we can wait for you to deal with them and we’ll take care of the aftermath.”
“Fine then!” Tang Xiu nodded.
From the moment Tang Xiu came here, Electrolady was completely lightheaded. She never thought that Tang Xiu would appear in this place, nor did she expect that he was in a group with that super-handsome guy who made her heartbeat beat faster without end—the very cause of her being in a complete mess.
As she came back to her senses, Electrolady pointed to Light and asked, “Mr. Tang, is he… your Grand Disciple?”
Tang Xiu glanced at the handsome and spirited, yet elegant and unconventional, Light in his white attire. Then he smiled and replied, “Yeah, he’s indeed my Grand Disciple according to the seniority of the generations. What’s up? Are you interested in my Grand Disciple now?”
Electrolady blushed and her pretty face reddened ear to ear. But she was still able to reply with all seriousness, “You’re teasing me, Mr. Tang. But he’s indeed really good, much to my liking. If you could help me match with him, you would be my benefactor in the future.”
“Hahaha…” Tang Xiu’s laughter burst aloud, while Light kept shaking his head and was at a loss to either laugh or cry.
“You see, everyone does have a heart for beauty and I know that my Grand Disciple is really satisfactory,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “It’s just, you still need to resolve your male and female issues between you and him, so I won’t meddle with you guys. Hey, Light! You make this belle’s heart a mess, so you must comfort her well, but do remember not to hurt her, alright? Hahaha…”
“Hehehe…”
The air a few meters from Tang Xiu swayed and rippled as Dark, clad in a black robe with elegant flowing black hair, appeared and approached Tang Xiu in a gentle manner. She pulled Tang Xiu’s hand and said with a pretty smile, “You’re right, Grand Master. It’s time for my brother to get a wife and have children. I’m sure he won’t dare to disobey you taking the role of a matchmaker for him.”
“Hey, Dark!” Light angrily shouted.
Tang Xiu glanced at Dark’s mask in surprise before he shook his head and couldn’t help but laugh, “Hahaha… you see, I’d like to be a matchmaker for him, but I don’t know what kind of woman he likes. But you, you can’t always live hiding in the dark all the time, Dark. A man should get married upon coming of age and so should a woman. You can tell me secretly if you have someone you like, though.”
Dark’s eyes spaced out and she angrily retorted, “What are you talking about, Grand Master? I won’t marry any man unless he’s as great as you.”
“Hahaha.” Tang Xiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter again and said, “There are not many men like me. Even in the Immortal World, a man like me is very rare, you know. You’re too demanding with that request, you should… slightly lower… the criteria. Hahaha…”
“Pfft… hehe…” Dark was similarly unable to hold her laughter and her body flashed and disappeared into the air.
