Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 214 - 177: Cloud Seal Jade Pivot Thunder-Invoking Minor Skill
The long vine, when it was still more than ten zhang away from the group, plunged directly into the ground, and azure spiritual power slowly spread out with the vine as the center!
Affected by this azure spiritual power, the thorns and wild grass in front of the four people seemingly came to life, frantically lashing towards them!
The loose cultivators naturally did not know that the Immortal Dao had such bizarre techniques, thinking that these thorns and wild grass were spirits or demons in the secret realm.
The four of them were greatly shocked and hastily raised their weapons, wildly chopping at the thorns and wild grass, each fully exerting their strength by channeling spiritual power into their weapons, not even daring to maintain their spiritual power shields.
Seeing this scene from afar, Shen Chongming was momentarily stunned.
"Are they crazy?"
"Just thorns and wild grass, and they’re so terrified?"
Chen Youran also slightly opened her mouth, a look of astonishment on her face.
Her intention was to use these ordinary thorns and wild grass to obstruct the four people, to see if they would reveal any flaws, providing Shen Chongming a chance to strike.
Who would have thought that just a slight action and the four of them would abandon their spiritual power shields and frantically hack at the ordinary thorns and wild grass with full force.
Shen Chongming was not about to let this good opportunity pass by.
Two arrows quietly nocked onto the bowstring, and the Silent Guest Longbow was instantly drawn to a full moon.
Almost as soon as the arrows flew, two of the four people in the distance fell to the ground!
The original five-person loose cultivator team now only had an older man surnamed Chen and a brawny man with a full beard left!
The two of them glanced at the shattered thorns and wild grass before them, then at the two lifeless companions beside them, hesitated for a second, and then rushed into the Chaotic Stone Forest.
The two each chose a sturdy stone pillar and hid behind it.
The bearded brawny man, eyes closed, body slightly trembling with tension, shouted, "Fellow Daoist in the dark, we know we were wrong!"
"You’ve already killed people, your anger should have subsided, could you spare the two of us?!"
His voice echoed in the Chaotic Stone Forest, but no reply was heard for a long time.
The bearded brawny man gritted his teeth, immediately tore off the cloth bag from his body, and cautiously handed it out from behind the stone pillar.
"Fellow Daoist, these are all our gains in the secret realm this time."
"Everything is yours, just spare us one way to live!"
As he spoke, he threw the cloth bag far away and looked towards the elderly man surnamed Chen behind the stone pillar.
"Elder Chen."
The elderly man surnamed Chen touched the cloth bag on his body, his eyes full of unwillingness and reluctance.
The harvest of their five-person journey was not much to begin with, if it all had to be surrendered, wouldn’t it be a wasted Spirit Crystal Fragment ticket?
But he also knew that if they didn’t hand over the items, the other party would definitely not let them go.
If they did hand them over, maybe there would still be a slim chance of survival.
Thinking of this, the elderly man surnamed Chen tore off the cloth bag on his body and threw it out with gritted teeth.
Seeing their actions from a distance, Shen Chongming sneered.
"Those who kill will always be killed in turn."
"I originally did not intend to take your lives. Couldn’t we each go on peacefully, each seeking treasure and opportunities?"
"Now you think you’ve kicked an iron plate and want to beg for mercy..."
"Youran."
Raising the great bow in his hand, he called out.
Chen Youran, standing beside him, slowly stood up, no longer concealing herself. Immediately, she clasped her hands in a seal, making the spiritual power within her surge wildly.
The dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around them gathered above her head, and two thick wooden spears gradually emerged!
After forming, the two spears suddenly flew out from the sky, crashing towards the stone pillars where the two were hiding!
Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations, the two survivors in the Chaotic Stone Forest instantly understood that their opponent never intended to let them go!
The two immediately raised their spiritual power shields, ready to dodge.
But at this moment, Shen Chongming also made his move.
An arrow imbued with golden light shot straight towards the back of the elderly man surnamed Chen!
Chen Youran’s attack struck fiercely on the elderly man surnamed Chen’s spiritual power shield, with Shen Chongming’s arrow following right after!
It pierced straight through the elderly man surnamed Chen’s chest, nailing into the stone pillar in front of him!
A cultivator’s life force is tenacious; even after having his heart pierced, the elderly man surnamed Chen did not die immediately. Instead, he took this chance to flee into the distance!
On the other side, seeing that the elderly man surnamed Chen was severely injured by just one move, the fear in the heart of the bearded brawny man reached its peak!
After his spiritual power shield was shattered, he couldn’t care about anything else. He beckoned a gust of wind with his hand, thinking to escape by manipulating the wind.
"Fool!"
Seeing him using Wind Manipulation to fly, the elderly man surnamed Chen, who had already fled dozens of zhang, became even more frightened, gritting his teeth to run away faster.
The bearded brawny man had just flown up a dozen or so zhang into the air when suddenly, a dazzling flash streaked across the formerly clear secret realm sky!
In an instant, a strike of purple thunder appeared, and before the bearded brawny man could even let out a scream, he was directly incinerated by the purple thunder into dust!
Along with that, some stone pillars in the Chaotic Stone Forest below were also shattered by the violent thunder power!
More than a dozen zhang away, the severely injured elderly man surnamed Chen was also affected, spewing a large amount of blood from his mouth, his figure becoming staggered.
But he did not care about his injuries, desperately running away in panic with what little energy he had left!
"Crack!"
The elderly man surnamed Chen had not run a few steps when a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, blasting him into pieces!
From a distance, Shen Chongming and Chen Youran were instantly appalled upon seeing this!
If it were said that the bearded brawny man being struck by thunder for flying in the air and triggering some restriction was understandable.
