The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 298 - 180: Acquiring the Moonlight Cup_2

They knew danger had passed, and their other thoughts began to stir. Having entered this secret realm five days ago, they had to hunt for treasure, fight monsters, and guard against stealth attacks from the others. Everyone’s nerves had been stretched to the limit; now, as they relaxed, they instantly wanted to vent their pent-up feelings.

The two soft targets in front of them seemed all too easy to squeeze.

A few people exchanged glances, and one bald man approached with a chuckle: "You two are quite smart, choosing such a great spot early on to watch the fire from the other shore."

He had his hands behind his back. Only those behind him could see, clenched in the bald man’s hand was a Short Sword.

The woman in front of them suddenly sighed: "If I were you, I’d turn around and descend the mountain. Hmm, it’s not too late to run away right now."

Everyone was startled for a moment, followed by a burst of laughter. Did this girl think she was a Cultivator? But even Cultivators can’t use their Divine Skills here, and in terms of ability, they are inferior to mortals. There were seven or eight people on their side; who couldn’t they kill?

The gaunt man with yellow skin by the cliff spoke suddenly, word by word: "Although this woman is ugly, she’ll do. Let’s take care of this man first, then have a good time with this woman." His voice was monotone and flat, void of any inflection, but to the bald man, his complexion drastically changed!

Because what the other man had said was exactly what had just flashed through the bald man’s mind, not missing a single detail!

What kind of demon was this, possessing the ability of Mind Reading?

This "ugly woman" was naturally Ning Xiaoxian, who upon hearing Tu Jin say this, where was there any misunderstanding? She instantly became furious, shouting: "You people truly deserve to die!"

The Barrier guarding the Moonlight Cup was about to be broken. At such a critical moment, not to speak of Tu Jin, even she wouldn’t allow anyone else up the mountain. If these people got close and discovered the secrets of the Heavenly Ladder, it would be a nightmare of endless troubles.

She had originally harbored some compassion, wishing to persuade these people to cherish their lives and turn back, yet they had already harbored filthy and contemptible thoughts towards her, even deeming her ugly.

Tu Jin burst into laughter, then disappeared from his original spot in an instant, appearing beside the farthest person. His first move was to snap the man’s neck!

So fast! Everyone showed an expression that said "they had seen a Ghost," and Ning Xiaoxian was also shocked. Among all present, only she saw clearly that Tu Jin did not teleport, but was so fast that before anyone could react, he had moved such great distance!

This man not only had an extremely fast speed drawing his sword but also possessed terrifying explosive power. She felt a tinge of worry in her eyes: after obtaining the Moonlight Cup, could she escape from his clutches?

However, now was not the time to think about this. If one person from the group present managed to escape, the secret of this small cliff might not be kept. Even if she was soft-hearted, she had to weigh the pros and cons.

There were still six or seven people left on the field. After the initial shock, they all snapped back to their senses and started running! No matter how fierce these two death stars were, they were at most just two people; if they sprinted with all their might, how could they have such bad luck to be specifically targeted?

The bald man closest to her had just turned around and took his first step when he saw Ning Xiaoxian standing in front of him with a smile. The thought "This woman is also a Ghost!" had just arisen when the world before him went dark.

The others had only run a few feet, when from the diagonal backside, a shiny round ball was thrown at them. Before they could comprehend what it was, as soon as the ball touched the ground, it exploded with a soft "bang," instantly shooting out countless steel needles in all directions!

The whistle-accompanied rain pear blossom needle finally came in handy. In an instant, four or five people fell, either clutching their heads or hands and feet and wailing. Although this secret weapon was vicious, Ning Xiaoxian had loaded it with ordinary steel needles. If the special steel needles made by the whistle were used, this group of people would have stopped breathing long ago.

As she looked up, the last man also fell at Tu Jin’s feet.

"These people cannot be spared," he said indifferently, then proceeded to methodically kill each of the writhing, pleading people on the ground.

She turned her back, not wanting to look anymore, but the horrendous screams of the dying reached her ears unceasingly. She couldn’t help but think: "In a few days, will it be my own screams echoing instead?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Tu Jin was diligent in his duty to kill, personally tossing every corpse off the cliff. The small cliff finally quieted down again.

Her throat was a bit dry: "I... will go check on the Barrier again." She quickly turned around and returned to the peak.

Tu Jin watched her retreating figure, silent.

She waited like this for another three days.

Every few hours, she would personally test the strength of the Barrier. To her delight, the method of turning the stone cave into a Hidden chamber was indeed effective. Although the Barrier had not yet been broken, she could feel its resistance becoming weaker day by day.

On the fourth day, when the moon was overhead, she reached out again and noticed the resistance of the Barrier had weakened further. She hesitated no longer and took out Tusk, pushing it forward gently.

With a light popping sound, like a soap bubble being burst, the Barrier which had isolated the Moonlight Cup for over a thousand years, finally vanished completely!

At this point, there was no longer any obstacle between her and the cup!

Ning Xiaoxian excitedly gave herself thirty-two likes, circled in place twice, and then, holding back her excitement, she carefully reached for the cup in front of her.

Would it trigger any Mechanism? She was ready to seize the cup and run if things went wrong.

The cup was heavy, much heavier than she had imagined, possibly twenty or thirty pounds? She actually couldn’t lift it the first try. (To be continued.
