Chapter 69 - Strange
Edited by NZRose
Cang Min and the cat screamed with fear, but Lin Shu thought nothing of it because Cang Min and the cat only shouted for fun.
The strength of Ling Xiao was needless to say. He barely had the fighting force in the golden core stage. Cang Min was the second in the martial arts arena ranking, his cultivation was near the peak of Yuanying.
And the cat with the most miserable scream was in the realm of Earthly Immortal who had already pa.s.sed the tribulation. Unless it was the realm of Earthly Immortals, no one can do anything to it.
If the two brothers above wanted to kill them, it would be too difficult.
Listening to their tone, they may have killed others who came before the three of them.
But this time it was definitely a kick to the iron plate.
After Cang Min screamed, he quickly inserted his broadsword on the cliff and stabilized his body, and then, the chaotic spiritual power from the cat lifted them all up.
Ling Xiao dangled Lin Shu with one hand and drew a sword with the other. He turned around and slashed towards the tentacles that hit them.
The sword and the tentacles struck, making the sound of hitting an iron and stone.
Cang Min said: “Iron Mountain Demon Vine!”
In an instant, thousands of vine tentacles emerged on the cliff, which wrapped them tightly like coc.o.o.ns, madly sucking away their inner spiritual power, and secreting a weird-smelling mucus. When it touched the air, it made a burning sound of “hissing”.
Lin Shu felt like he had been beaten by a giant pitcher plant.
Ling Xiao: “The vines of the Iron Mountain Demon Vine can sell three thousand jade souls for one foot in your treasure pavilion.”
Cang Min: “Very good.”
As time went by, they jumped up almost at the same time. The light of Ling Xiao’s sword flashed in the dim environment, and the sword’s energy was vertical and horizontal, it slashed hard against the vine wall. Cang Min’s sword immediately came over and stabbed straight into the hard vines. The powerful spiritual power burst out and exploded in the vine. With the cooperation of the two, the thick coc.o.o.n woven by the vines was immediately blasted out of a hole.
The new vines wanted to fill the gap, but these two people will not let it succeed. The shadows of the swords were chaotic and vigorous. For a moment, Lin Shu, who was hanging on Ling Xiao’s body, was almost unconscious.
The sound of the collision between the iron and the stone continued. Not long after, the two completely broke the vine and reappeared next to the cliff. They jumped up and looked down at the two brothers at the edge of the cliff.
The two thought that the three of them were bound to die, and the expressions on their faces were very happy. They did not expect this to be the result, now their faces were instantly pale and shaking like chaff.
With the power of the Iron Mountain Demon Vine, it was indeed possible to entrap two or three golden cores, and these two people seem to be repeat offenders!
In other words, some of the disciples who died in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss in the Immortal Dao rumors were not because of the dangers in Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, but some fell into the hands of mortals?
Ling Xiao sneered and brought Lin Shu to the ground. He rolled his spiritual power towards the two and slapped both of them on the ground.
This trick was extremely heavy. Both men vomited blood, and couldn’t move for a short time.
Lin Shu was released and finally escaped from suffocation, coughing severely.
Ling Xiao also knew that there was something wrong with his posture, so he patted his back smoothly.
After catching his breath, he looked at the two people on the ground.
They look very fl.u.s.tered, saying, “This little villain dog eye does not know Mount Tai. Immortal, spare our life!”
Because of the close relationship between the Immortal Path and the imperial court, there has always been a conventional rule in the Immortal Path. Cultivators who practice immortality should not oppress or hurt mortals by force.
But it’s obviously not normal at the moment.
Ling Xiao said: “How many people have you killed?”
The two said: “This villain has never harmed anyone. Today, I was confused by money and made the best move. Immortal Chang raised his hands high and let him spare us two brothers.”
Lin Shu: “…..”
Even though his brain circuit was simplified compared to Ling Xiao, he can also see the exaggeration of the acting skills of these two men.
Furthermore, if you were really obsessed with money for a while, how can you reach an agreement with the Iron Mountain Demon Vines and work in collusion?
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry. He took the soft cloth and slowly wiped the mucus on the knife, and slowly said, “Did you think…I’d believed it?”
He didn’t know if it was Lin Shu’s illusion but he felt that Ling Xiao at this time was a little vaguely similar to the Big Miss when interrogating people.
After wiping the knife, he swiped the blade across the faces and necks of the two men, but they didn’t get the edge of the sword. He only looked at the two people shaking in fear and said, “Make it better.”
The two people’s faces were pale, they were really scared, and they confessed indiscriminately.
Lin Shu tried to clarify their logic. He said that the elder brother had been eaten by the Iron Mountain Demon Vines a few days ago. The vines only eat human flesh and blood, but his bones and personal belongings could not be eaten. They all fell into a crevice of the mountain and could be picked up. They thought that if they could not get the elixir in the ghost abyss, they could make some money, so they dug up two young disciples who came here for training and tasted the sweetness. Today, they saw three immortals coming here, and they used their old skills again.
These remarks were also reasonable and well-founded, but they were really vicious, if they clearly asked the immortal disciples for medicine, they would not be rejected.
Ling Xiao smiled, and said, “It’s a good compilation.”
One of them said: “Immortal, this matter is true–”
Ling Xiao pressed the blade down, and his voice suddenly became extremely cold and stern, saying: “Looking for death.”
After talking, he knocked them down and the two fainted, then said to Cang Min: “Search their bodies.”
Cang Min replied, and went to take off the clothes of the two.
Lin Shu heard Ling Xiao saying to him, “Be good, don’t look over there.” As he said it, he turned his body and let him turn his back to look at the cliff.
Lin Shu was obediently dominated by cousin, but his heart was full of questions.
He thinks there must be something wrong with it.
He asked Cang Min to search their bodies, so why didn’t he let me see it?
There was something fishy about it.
Cang Min moved quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, he said, “Okay.”
Lin Shu tentatively looked back, and found that his cousin didn’t mean to stop him, then turned back.
The two men were indeed mortals with no magic power. At this time, their acupoints were sealed, and they were unable to move or speak. They had only a pair of linen trousers covering their bodies. All the other belongings were stacked aside.
Woodchopper, flint, moxa velvet, water bag, dry food… Are some seemingly normal items, and nothing can be seen.
Ling Xiao flipped through the pile of debris and picked up two leather ropes.
This leather rope was previously hanging around their necks. Both of the ropes were hung with a round black pendant, which was not a rare stone.
Cang Min said: “It is used to dispel evil, my hometown has such a custom.”
Ling Xiao took the two pendants in his hand, and after a while, he said, “There is fragrance.”
“Fragrance?” Cang Min took the pendant over, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it vigorously, then said, “It seems that there is really… and I can barely smell it.”
“The incense of worship.” Ling Xiao said lightly.
Two men who chop wood naturally do not use incense, so the incense on this pendant was a bit strange.
Then, Lin Shu watched Ling Xiao tie them up with a rope and hang them on the cliff. They were hanging in the air, and the abyss was under their feet.
Ling Xiao put the two pendants away and smiled at them: “We said we couldn’t come back in a few days. You should think about it.”
After that, he said to the cat, “I may have to trouble you to put up barriers.”
Cat: “Meow.”
And immediately there was a barrier covering the two people, concealing their bodies and voices.
Any kind of barrier can be formed with any kind of cultivation base. But the barrier set by the cat, who was an Earthly Immortal, can only be broken by the same Earthly Immortals. Naturally, no one will find the brothers.
Cang Min put the Iron Mountain Demon Vines body away and asked Ling Xiao, “Brother Ling, what do you think?”
Ling Xiao left a shadow bead in the hiding place and said: “That’s strange.”
TL’s Mini Theatre:
Ling Xiao to Cang Min: Search their bodies.
Ling Xiao to Lin Shu: Be good! Don’t look over there.
Lin Shu to Zaki: You look and tell me what you see.
Zaki: *drools*
Ling Xiao: *pokes Zaki’s eyes*
Rich Cat: Meoww!! *pervert Zaki*
