Firefly Journey

Chapter 353 A Gathering of Scoundrels (9)

Crunch, crunch——

Chi Liuzi's six arms were illusions, but Xiong Chu's hands were not. His hands were being squeezed by the illusory arms, and a sound of bones breaking could be heard.

If this continues, the bear's hands will be ruined!

He had to find a way to break free.

With a grit of his teeth, the bear began to swell up, growing several meters taller, and his wrists grew thicker and thicker, finally breaking free from Chi Liuzi's ethereal hand.

Chi Liuzi sneered, "Not bad, much better than your good-for-nothing brother. At least he couldn't withstand this one move from me."

"You vixen, all you know are low-down tricks. Do you dare to challenge my strength?" the bear-like beast roared.

He regarded the supreme supernatural powers of Taoism as lowly and despicable. It must be said that although he couldn't beat him, he was certainly not inferior in words.

The bear's cessation of channeling magic into the Xuanlong Sword would inevitably affect the opening of the treasure. At this moment, even though Yan Jinglei and the others did not want to cause trouble, they had no choice but to stop.

Mu Jiaoluan, who had previously found Lin Yuanran and his companion, also tempted them at this moment, saying, "Senior Brother Yan, there are already few treasures in the tomb. Even the four sects don't have enough. Now that outsiders have come, we probably won't get much benefit."

Yan Jinglei narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Mu Jiaoluan raised her head: "Of course we should unite against outsiders first! We can't just watch Senior Brother Xiong get beaten to death, can we?"

Yan Jinglei said, "The bear attacked first, so even if it was killed, it was because it was weak and deserved it. However, there's no reason to give away treasures that have already been obtained. These two fellow Daoists are probably a bit too greedy."

Lin Yuanran and Chi Liuzi overheard Yan Jinglei and his group's conversation, but Chi Liuzi was busy fighting the bear and had no time to pay attention to him.

Lin Yuanran is different; he has...

"Greedy? Did your sect's name get written on the treasures in this ancient tomb?" Lin Yuanran chuckled.

With Chi Liuzi present, the fight was very stable. He didn't mind using someone else's face to intimidate others. Even if he offended all four major sects, who would be able to find him once he left?

Yan Jinglei nodded with interest, then summoned the Xuanlong Sword and, with a flourish of his brush, drew three large characters on the banks of the Mercury River.

Star and Moon Alliance.

Then, he raised his head and said, "Now, this place bears the name of my Star Moon Alliance. Since it has a name, this place is the property of my Star Moon Alliance."

Fellow Daoist, let me give you a piece of advice: those who covet other people's possessions are called thieves, and thieves are people everyone should kill.

Threat, naked threat!

Lin Yuanran isn't a three-year-old. Just because you carve words doesn't mean they're yours. If you piss in the sky, does that mean the whole world is yours?

Lin Yuanran sneered, "What gives you the right to carve your sect's name on my territory?"

You're shameless and trying to take things by force, so I won't be polite either. It's just arguing, anyone can do that.

Yan Jinglei thought he would back down, but Lin Yuanran was unyielding. Upon hearing the name of the Star Moon Alliance, he was not afraid at all, but instead showed a determination to fight to the end.

good very good.

If you won't listen to reason, then you'll have to suffer the consequences. Don't blame me then.

Yan Jinglei wiped the blade of his sword and smiled, "It seems you insist on testing the sharpness of my precious sword."

Lin Yuanran wanted to retort, "My sword is not without its flaws," but then he realized he was holding a staff, so he swallowed his words and changed his tune:

"If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight to the bitter end."

"Fine, I'll play along to the end! Thunder rumbles down upon me!"

Inside the tomb, a sudden clap of thunder was heard.

A torrent of thunder rolled down, bathing Yan Jinglei in its power, and an overwhelming aura instantly swept over him.

Lin Yuanran dared not be careless and raised his staff to cast a divine oracle. However, Chi Liuzi's other arms suddenly stretched out and blocked the extraordinary sword intent carrying immense thunder for him.

With three heads and six arms, it's truly terrifying!

Yan Jinglei's expression changed. He never expected that this woman in purple would have the strength to block his attack while fighting the bear.

Not only that, Chi Liuzi's six ethereal arms were directly entangled with the thunderous sword intent, and it seemed that she could fight two opponents at once!

Yan Jinglei was horrified.

He had held the top spot among the younger generation in Jiangdong for a long time. Apart from the geniuses of the super sects in the north, he could be said to have few rivals among his peers. However, he never expected to be humiliated by a rogue cultivator today, which he found hard to accept.

He tried to withdraw his sword, but Chi Liuzi gave him no chance. Two of her ethereal arms gripped the Xuanlong Sword tightly, and their magical powers clashed continuously.

Yan Jinglei knew that if he stopped channeling his magic power into the Xuanlong Sword, this peerless divine weapon would immediately crumble into a pile of metal fragments.

He was already drenched in sweat, regarding the woman before him as a major threat, and was doing everything in his power to protect her.

Nevertheless, the combined efforts of him and Xiong Chu showed no sign of victory, which was the most terrifying aspect.

Yan Jinglei gritted his teeth and said sternly, "The four sects of Jiangdong have always shared weal and woe, honor and disgrace. My two junior sisters won't just stand by and watch, will they?"

"Of course not, Senior Brother Yan, I'll help you!"

Seeing that Yan Jinglei and Xiong Chu were locked in a fierce battle, Tang Shenglian could not stand idly by. She activated her magic power and stepped onto a giant fiery red lotus flower to join the battle.

Mu Jiaoluan smiled lightly: "Senior Brother Yan, what are you saying? Let Junior Sister Tang help you. I'll keep this brat in check."

Mu Jiaoluan exuded a cheap fragrance that kept sweeping towards Lin Yuanran.

Lin Yuanran sniffed it and his body didn't reject it, which meant that the fragrance was just a smokescreen and that Mu Jiaoluan was just slacking off.

Lin Yuanran couldn't understand Mu Jiaoluan's true intentions, but since she was slacking off, he was happy not to lift a finger. He casually conjured up a few divine pronouncements and they put on an act together.

His thoughts were always with Chi Liuzi.

Despite having many tricks up her sleeve, she was facing three opponents who were not unknown, and she might not be able to gain the upper hand.

Lin Yuanran was completely overthinking it.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Tang Shenglian has also joined the battle, but Chi Liuzi is no pushover. A clear light suddenly appeared between her eyebrows.

It resembles a pupil.

That's... the Heavenly Eye?!

It seems he not only summoned Nezha to possess him, but also obtained Erlang Shen's third eye.

The three who were fighting with Chi Liuzi were even more astonished, their faces showing disbelief.

Having three heads and six arms is one thing, let's assume you had some extraordinary encounter. But being able to open your third eye and using Taoist secret techniques one after another like they're free can't be explained by mere encounters anymore, right?

Seeing that Chi Liuzi was holding her own against three opponents, Lin Yuanran was relieved, realizing that she didn't need his support.

Others might not know, but he knew very well what kind of important figures were in that group of immortals.

The various experts in the group imparted their unique skills to Chi Liuzi. Although her cultivation level was slightly lower, her overall combat strength allowed her to fight opponents of higher levels.

It seems that a bloody battle is destined to take place in this ancient tomb today.
