Chapter 220: Borrowing One’s Sword (2/2)
Since Mo Wuji had opened up the immortal estate sea map in Pu Qian’s hands, he could see everything clearly with his spiritual will. There was no longer any doubt about the legitimacy of the claims, as such a map could never be made in a rush. An immortal estate really did exist here, and just as Mo Wuji had said, they found the immortal estate, which eventually got snatched away by the strong corpse cultivator. As for why the corpse cultivator did not kill them first, naturally it was because the corpse cultivator had to rein in the immortal estate. Compared to an immortal estate, everything else was nothing.
A treasure with consciousness like the immortal estate should have been reined in as early as possible after being discovered, otherwise, it would run away. Ants like Mo Wuji and co. could wait to be killed after reining in the immortal estate.
After confirming the existence of the immortal estate, the black clothed man’s attacks at the corpse cultivator became even wilder. The corpse cultivator was going crazy too, as he thought that he only had to catch a few ants to sacrifice to his cultivation array, but who knew that he would meet such a strong expert. If this expert weren’t already exhausted, he would have been killed a long time ago. Unfortunately, he did not hear what Mo Wuji had said before, otherwise he definitely would have said that he did not possess any immortal estate.
As Mo Wuji saw the black clothed man increase the intensity of his attacks, he asked softly, ”Elder, what sort of poison did you get hit with?”
Granny Linglong knew that Mo Wuji wanted to save her, and answered with a sigh, ”The poison that I’m afflicted with, even I myself can’t refine its antidote at a moment’s notice. The pill required is a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill, and the spiritual herbs needed are extremely valuable, the Solitary Dark Pill…”
”Did Elder get hit by nerve poison?” Mo Wuji passed a jade bottle to Granny Linglong after being surprised, ”Quickly take this broken pill. That corpse cultivator is not strong enough, and will be killed soon.”
”This is a Solitary Dark Pill? You…” After a few words, Granny Linglong poured the broken pill into her mouth, then shut her eyes.
Once the black clothed man saw Granny Linglong consume the broken pill, he felt something was up, so he shot a beam of light at her.
Mo Wuji no longer held back, swinging his Tian Ji Pole straight at the beam of light.
”Bang!” Wild elemental energy scattered everywhere, which originated from the casual beam of light. The wave of energy caused Mo Wuji to fly tens of meters back, and he was only stopped mid flight by Pu Qian.
Indeed something was up, in an act of desperation, the black clothed guy’s body glowed red, and a frightening aura built up around him.
”Boom!’ The red light enveloped the corpse cultivator, and a red blade cut his head off cleanly. Under the claws of the black clothed man, the corpse cultivator’s body exploded into bits.
Then Granny Linglong opened her eyes, leapt up in the air, and a three legged cauldron flew towards the back of the black clothed man.
With all this unfolding before him, Mo Wuji was stunned, and thought to himself if that Shi Jinwen’s penchant for using pill cauldrons to make magic treasures came from Granny Linglong.
”Bang!” The giant cauldron smashed into the black clothed man’s back, causing him to spit out a stream of blood.
Even so, the black clothed man still did not turn back to defend against Granny Linglong, but instead he grabbed everything on the corpse cultivator, and disappeared into a flash of red light.
Mo Wuji’s jaw dropped at this, as such abilities were completely beyond what he could imagine. When the black clothed man left, he could only feel a slight space-time ripple, and he had no clue where the guy was headed to.
Granny Linglong on the other hand sighed in relief, and said gratefully, ”Mo Wuji, You saved me today.”
”Elder, we actually helped each other. If elder did not blow the door open, we would have died long ago under the hands of the corpse cultivator. I don’t know who used a fake immortal estate map to lure us over, then dug this corpse cultivator out of nowhere. That reminds me, how did that black clothed man leave?” Mo Wuji was very puzzled by the black clothed man’s method of
escape, which seemingly left no traces behind.
”He was severely injured by the hit from my cauldron, and got away using the Water Escape Technique. The Water Escape Technique is one of the five elemental escape techniques, and is a heaven grade technique. It is valuable beyond measure, and even Heaven Seeking Palace does not have one of them.” Granny Linglong explained.
The corpse cultivator was killed, the black clothed man escaped, and Mo Wuji was building ties with an expert. Most of the cultivators bade their farewells, and had to rely on their own ability to get off the island.
As Granny Linglong saw many of them greet Mo Wuji before leaving, some even calling him Da Shixiong, she was very confused. From what she observed, Mo Wuji’s qualifications were very ordinary. But she did not keep up with any gossip, so the fact that this Da Shixiong was the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705 eluded her.
When Zhuang Yan saw the look in Qi Wenxuan’s eyes as he left, she still managed to steel her heart and stay. Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me.
Other than Zhuang Yan, Pu Qian and the man and woman that stepped out to help Mo Wuji previously did not leave too.
”Do the both of you have any business with me?” Seeing that these two people did not leave, Mo Wuji felt that they probably knew him as more than Rogue Cultivator 2705.
