”Full output!”
The moment Chi Hou spat out blood, w.a.n.g Lu promptly made a judgment.
Liu Li took a deep breath. She could not attend her already depleted magical power after those several successive strikes. She simply, in accordance with w.a.n.g Lu’s instruction, gathered up her last strength, turned around and thrust her sword.
Then, the girl saw the humiliation and unwillingness that filled Chi Hou’s eyes
A genuine Jindan Stage Daoist Master was actually forced to a dead end… Chi Hou clenched his teeth and activated the talisman in his body.
Escape Talisman.
Before the fight, Chi Hou had already calculated how should he intercept if the opponent activated a similar prop. However, unexpectedly, after a shocking fight, it was him who was forced to use this escape talisman! A dignified Jindan Stage Elder actually had to flee in the face of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators! This was a humiliation that was probably too difficult to wash away in a lifetime.
However, no matter how humiliating it was, being alive was better than dead. After his successive loss of two spirit pets, Chi Hou’s strength has been reduced to its lowest point. Since he entered the Jindan Stage, he has never been this weak. That omnipotent Golden Core in the center of his Jade Mansion had turned bleak as it lost its light, even so much that it had a tendency to disintegrate into Void—that was cultivation base reversal, an indication that it would revert to Xudan Stage.
In this case, he didn’t need to consider what kind of recuperation method that he must undergo to restore his power… He couldn’t even withstand this last strike from Liu Li. Therefore, he decisively activated his escape talisman.
However, the next moment, in Chi Hou’s surprised eyes, he saw the two sword tips of Liu Li turn to blurry shadow, like a real illusion, and actually cut a point an inch in front of Chi Hou’s body, severing an invisible link in the middle.
It was the link between Chi Hou and that ancient beast skull! Liu Li’s sword could cut through everything. Taking advantage while the opposite party was unprepared, the sword actually severed the connection between Chi Hou and the skull!
Normally, the interruption of this connection wouldn’t have been a problem. Because, as its owner, as long there was some resting time, he would be able to reconnect the link. However, right now, Chi Hou didn’t have the time at all. After he activated his escape talisman, his huge figure instantly turned into a ray of light, flew to the sky, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared on the horizon.
And as soon as Chi Hou left, the huge skull lost its source of magical power, thus, it immediately shrunk to its original form. From mid-air, it dropped to the ground with a clattering sound.
w.a.n.g Lu then smoothly picked up the skull. This was the first valuable loot that he got on the experiential learning down the mountain. Though it wasn’t of high grade, just high-level magical treasure, it has a commemorating value. This was w.a.n.g Lu and Liu Li’s first ”spoil of war” on their fight with a genuine Jindan Stage Daoist Master while they were just Foundation Establishment.
However, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t have the time to appreciate it further as he pulled Liu Li in the direction of the stupid dog. Although he didn’t see the turn of event just now, he had correctly guessed that there must be a kind pa.s.sersby who had lent them a helping hand by directly killing White Teeth, which forced Chi Hou to flee in regret. Therefore, the first order of business was to meet this kind pa.s.sersby.
That person had shouted that it wanted to cook the big black dog into a dish. Clearly, it has a taste for the dog meat, and that Huahua, though stupid and small, its flesh...
Across several cl.u.s.ters of trees, next to a creek, w.a.n.g Lu saw that kind pa.s.serby.
Unexpectedly, he saw a young woman who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was tall, picturesque, dressed in luxurious purple clothes and exuded a n.o.ble and out of the world temperament, yet her smile was infinitely amiable. The magical power fluctuation around her body was completely restrained, which prevented him from seeing her true depth.
Seeing that the chivalrous person was unexpectedly a woman, w.a.n.g Lu was a bit taken aback. Especially seeing that woman single-handedly carried the rather large dog. Sizing her up and down, she was all smiles, which caused the feeling of out of place in him turned heavier.
However, thinking that the other side had just lent them a hand, w.a.n.g Lu, in accordance with the rules of etiquette from the Teng Cloud Hall, earnestly saluted. ”I am Yue Lu of Celestial Water Lake. This is my Junior Sister Yue Xian. Thank you heroine for helping us just now.”
That woman smiled and waved. ”Don’t mention it. I merely solved the dinner problem. Moreover, even without my help, your spirit pet would not lose.”
While talking, she took out a knife and began to cut open the stomach of that black dog ”White Teeth” and cleaned it with the creek water. Her action was skilled and swift.
”Hehehe, this black dog’s quality is not bad… Since fate has brought us to meet together, if you don’t mind, would you like to taste my craft? I may not have anything to boast, but solely on the skill of cooking dog meat alone, in the entire Cloud Region, few people could be compared to me.”
This woman was generous and hospitable. After sizing her for a long time, w.a.n.g Lu couldn’t find even a tiny bit of fakeness in her. He couldn’t help but smile. ”Then I am indebted to your hospitality.”
”Great! Frank and straightforward! Hehe, I heard that there are a lot of people on this Grand Cloud Mountain that would like to cut those who eat dog meat into pieces. Humph, this is his d.a.m.n mother’s and father’s meat! Very delicious!”
w.a.n.g Lu said, ”They’re just an annoyance, why bother?” As he said that, he began to look around, trying to find his dumb dog. Inwardly. he thought, you stupid fool dog has stupid luck, have you already been stuffed into this woman’s mouth?
”Looking for your dog? It's over there hiding from me. A moment ago, it saw me about to swallow this large black dog whole; in order to avoid wasting food, I frightened it… Oops, don’t worry. No matter how greedy I am, I couldn’t possibly cook a Fenrir’s descendant.”
w.a.n.g Lu was startled. This woman knew Fenrir!?
The woman looked up and smiled. ”I have tasted enough dog meat, so I have done quite a research on animals similar to it. However, to be able to keep a Fenrir as a pet, you and your Junior Sister over there shouldn’t be of Celestial Water Lake origin, right?”
Their lies being exposed, w.a.n.g Lu simply shrugged his shoulders. ”Wandering in ‘rivers and lakes’, maintaining low-key is a must. Very well, let’s re-do our introduction. I am w.a.n.g Lu, and this is Liu Li. We are from Spirit Sword Sect of Blue River Region.”
”Oh, I am Xiao Qi (little seven). You guys can call me Seventh Madame…” In the middle of her words, the woman was startled and immediately stood up. ”You’re disciples of Spirit Sword Sect!? Then this is really a fate. Do you guys know someone called w.a.n.g Wu? We, old friends, haven’t seen each other for many years.”
