Chapter 210: Chi Hou Hit a Jackpot! (2/2)
Those words. .h.i.t the nail right on the head. It was his own mistake in judgment that let Liu Li suffer this ordeal. Although it did not end up in the worst possible result, that was not due to w.a.n.g Lu’s credit. If it were not for Liu Li’s years of acc.u.mulated poison resistance, the situation now would be very troubling. Despite being scolded in the face by a wretched looking waste was somewhat a bit out of fas.h.i.+on, it was indeed an impressive lesson.
Seeing that w.a.n.g Lu had remained silent, A Xia actually thought his words were right; he began to laugh out loud. ”Sure enough, I guessed it right! You’re just bluffing!”
Actually, if this was in a normal setting, though A Xia has all kinds of flaws, it was not easy for him to be impulsive. It was just that, just now, after he had been punched trice by w.a.n.g Lu’s burning heart fist, his dao heart that kept his rationality had taken a damage, which alighted his prairie of heart afire, causing him to no longer able to control his emotion.
As he smiled, he fished out a crystal mirror. ”I had long ago let Chi Hou brought spirit beasts to the Celestial Water Lake. Though he himself was seriously injured, since he brought with him my command token, he could command a fully transformed spirit beast once. That spirit beast cultivation base is infinitely close to Yuanying Stage. Alone, it could bring down the entire more than a hundred people of Yue Family! One day ago, I got a message from Chi Hou, he had used the command token and got the affirmation from the spirit beast. Now, he probably already has full control of the entire Yue Family. Whether they will live or die, that’s entirely up to you!”
With that, he barely managed to deliver a glimmer of magical power to the mirror, activating it. Before long, light and shadow were reflected out from the mirror.
This was a magical tool used by Chi Hou and him to communicate. Now, as long as w.a.n.g Lu saw that the scene on the other side of the mirror was fully in his control, A Xia believed that w.a.n.g Lu would make a rational choice… Moreover, if things went smooth, perhaps not only he could maintain his life, he could even bargain that immortal beast spirit moon.
Hehehe, this is something that the real Tiger King couldn’t do, yet, in my hands, I could possibly make a comeback...This should be able to show that I am better than the real one, right?
While thinking about it, time pa.s.sed bit by bit. A moment later, A Xia found out that although there were shadows on the crystal mirror in his hand, the image has actually been distorted into a blur, causing him to not be able to see the real situation. This was because the magical power put on the two sides of the mirror was not synchronized. This was not that strange actually—since, at this time, the magical power that he sent out came from Tiger King, naturally, it was quite different than when he was in his original body.
However, as long as Chi Hou adjusted from the other side, the two sides would be able to synch. He...
”Chi Hou, what are you doing? Quickly adjust the magical power,” A Xia angrily roared. He was severely injured, thus he had no energy to adjust his magical power.
After waiting for a while, the light in the mirror was still unstable. A Xia suddenly felt that haze has shrouded over his heart… as if something bad happened to a matter that was important to him.
”Actually, I am really not a genius with foolproof plans. All I can do is to carefully make things work. Before I went down the mountain, I thought that my a.s.sumed ident.i.ty might bring trouble to Yue Family. But, it’s impossible to antic.i.p.ate what kind of trouble or what kind of opponent I will encounter in advance. It is even more impossible to invest a lot of resources just for the antic.i.p.ation that something wrong might happen. If I have that many resources, of course I would do it. Therefore, I present the Buddha with borrowed flowers [1]. Taking advantage of the occasion, this time, besides Liu Li and I, the sect also let other disciples go down the mountain to do experiential learning. As it happened, Junior Sister Yue Xinyao also wanted to go home to visit her family. Therefore, I told her that she could take this chance to ask another senior disciple to pay a visit to her family as a guest. Everyone in Yue Family happens to be good in refining tools, so they can use this opportunity to deliver some magical tools and tie some good karma. And the one that came home together with her…”
w.a.n.g Lu paused, deliberately creating a cliffhanger before he revealed the answer.
”The one that accompanied her, is our Spirit Sword Sect big sister, Zhu s.h.i.+yao.”
Zhu s.h.i.+...Yao?
A Xia was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the person whose name Zhu s.h.i.+yao was the first Successor Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. Legend has it that her strength was far above the peerless talent like w.a.n.g Lu and Liu Li. However, no matter how powerful she was, her cultivation base was at most at low-level Xudan. There was no chance that she could face off against spirit beast close to Yuanying Stage in power.
That spirit beast was one of his most proud of works in the Southern Heaven Region. Compared to cat girl Ling Yan, it was several times more powerful that it was not even a joke. The only hateful thing was that, due to some coincidences, the mark on the spirit beast was not particularly stable. Therefore, he could only seek its help occasionally, asking it for help instead of treating it as a slave like Ling Yan.
Along with it, there were also a large number of low-level spirit beasts that composed of the Ten Thousand Beasts Array. A mere Yue Family of Celestial Water Lake and a Xudan Stage Zhu s.h.i.+yao...
While he was thinking, the light from the crystal mirror suddenly changed, which immediately sent A Xia into joy, thinking that idiot Chi Hou finally responded.
He thought that It should be successful. Not only Yue Family, but also Yue Xinyao who was paying a visit home, as well as that Zhu s.h.i.+yao, all should have been in his control. This was nothing short of brilliant victories for him, as long...
While his heart was thumping wildly with excitement, the light and shadow on the mirror finally condensed into a clear picture.
Chi Hou’s face appeared on the mirror. However, this time, his face was full of blood. He had actually sustained serious injuries. His voice was also weak and powerless.
”We failed… that person, is so strong. You have never told me that there will be such a person. With just one sword strike, that fully transformed spirit beast died instantly. Even its primordial spirit could not escape, now we’re already…”
Cras.h.!.+
Chi Hou’s voice abruptly stopped. A Xia had inadvertently crushed the mirror.
His body uncontrollably shook, indicating the infinite despair and panic within his heart. This time, he was truly finished.
