Chapter 185: Chapter 184 Giggle Giggle Giggle

“Hehaha! Clown! Petty tricks! Nothing more than that! Hehaha!”

Hehaha looked up and laughed.

Immortal Jiang Ying was also bewildered. She had just prepared three poison needles in her mouth but hadn’t found the chance to assist in the battle yet. The opportunity she was waiting for had already been resolved…

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Hehaha Young Master laughed again,

“Hehaha! Immortal, you…”

Then, in the instant Hehaha turned back, guarding against Immortal Jiang Ying while throwing taunts!

A golden light circled Hehaha’s throat!

“Cluck, cluck, cluck!”

The throat was slit by Shadow Yue!

Hehaha Young Master instantly became Cluck Cluck Young Master!

But this Cluck Cluck Young Master had some real skill! If it were anyone else, their head would have been severed by this slash! Yet he reacted the moment his throat was slashed!

With one hand covering the bloodline of the slit throat and the other pinching the formula, in an instant, the sword light from the magic sword behind him shone brilliantly! The splendid light lit up the forest like daytime! So dazzling that Immortal Jiang Ying’s eyes filled with tears, unable to see anything!

Gaining a brief moment to catch his breath, Cluck Cluck Young Master at once pulled out a silk talisman and stuck it to his throat to seal the sword wound! Then he immediately soared into the sky! Only pinching the formula, he even left a heap of magic treasures behind, flying away into escape!

If it were anyone else, Cluck Cluck Young Master would indeed have escaped a disaster like this!

However, since Tie Dan made his move, allowing him to retreat so easily was out of the question! He blasted away the large axe embedded in the ribs with one palm! The chest wound healed instantly! Turbo activated!

“Ice River Escape!”

Ice River Escape! Chasing after him! The moment Cluck Cluck landed, Tie Dan flew forward with a flute! Directly piercing towards his chest and stomach!

Unfortunately, this heart-piercing strike was deflected by the Silver Scale Soft Armor under his vest! The flute pierced through, only puncturing a lung!

“Cluck, puke!”

Cluck Cluck was shocked!

He never imagined Tie Dan could not only Earth Escape but also Ice Escape! Even less did he expect this flute to break through his treasure armor! Hurting his Dao Body!

At this moment, blood was still gushing from his throat; a strike that pierced through the back into the lung, severely injuring him! Naturally, he dared not engage in battle again! Immediately pinching another formula to escape!

Wishful thinking!

“Escape!”

If you escape, he also escapes!

Tie Dan chased while escaping! Once again landing almost simultaneously!

Although Cluck Cluck’s cultivation was superior, achieving a farther escape with two consecutive escapes increasing the distance significantly, there was still an opportunity!

“White Tiger Leaping Over the Stream!”

Flying with Qi Manipulation, pouncing and leaping, transforming with Taibai Sword Light atop the flute! Striking with all his might! Splitting straight at the top of the skull!

“Cluck cluck!”

Seeing this Golden Core Realm kid, Tie Dan, relentlessly pursuing him, Cluck Cluck was infuriated and enraged! Spitting essence blood, forcibly using Divine Skill! The left hand unleashed a wave of True Qi! Splitting the clouds in four directions!

However, today’s Tie Dan is not yesterday’s Tie Dan! Learning from mistakes! Now his White Tiger Leaping Over the Stream can continue!

“Intercepting Style!”

Changing moves! True Qi recoiling! Flashing to avoid the Qi Wave! At the same time, the sword style switched! Chasing Form and Cutting Veins! Striking later but arriving first! A sword feigned to the face, then reversed with a backhand sword! Directly cutting the throat!

“Ahhhh!”

This move even Tie Dan couldn’t defend against! How could Cluck Cluck block it! Immediately horrified with a deathly pale face! Blood spraying from the seven apertures from fear!

After all, he knew his neck was severed, only held together by a talisman. If this sword had grazed it! Who knows where his head would have flown to!

But his palm was already shot! Seeing no way to avoid it! Determined, he raised his right hand fan to hard block!

“Liao Sword Style!”

Who knew Tie Dan changed again! This flute suddenly pierced through his arm! The sword light stabbing out again!

Previously the old farmer was holding back, but he wasn’t holding back!

In that moment, Taibai Sword Light shone brilliantly! The sword light blasted! One sword stabbed! Directly severing the right wrist! And a sword stabbed at the face! Giving Cluck Cluck a scar across the right cheek! A slash blinding his right eye!

Unfortunately, Cluck Cluck’s fate hadn’t run out, his life still lingering, if only this sword had gone half an inch deeper, it would have pierced through his skull, but it missed that half inch!

“Cluck, puke—!”

So Cluck Cluck bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood!

In an instant, who knows what mysterious technique he used! Cluck Cluck’s whole body surged with True Qi! Cultivation tripling in power! Instantly escaping at lightning speed! Rushing and blazing, flying far into the sky!

Similar to a turbo technique’s burst? If so, why didn’t you use it earlier? Save it for a last-ditch escape?

From Hehaha being cut to Cluck Cluck, throat slit, hand severed, lung pierced, eye gouged, miraculously preserving his life, this young master evidently dared not battle further, spitting essence blood three times, frantically escaping and flashing away, disappearing over the horizon without looking back.

Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly burst at the last moment, activating an escape “hack,” even Tie Dan couldn’t catch up.

Sigh… well, it seems with his current strength, trying to defeat such a Nascent Soul Realm expert head-on is still too much…

Tie Dan indeed used all his strength, yet still allowed the opponent to escape. To say it nicely, it was the opponent’s fate, but in the end, it was his skill that was insufficient, requiring further enhancement.

Thus Tie Dan breathed in some Breathing Qi, picked up the severed hand and folding fan, flew back to the waterfall spot, only to find the knives, axes, hammers, and swords were still left in place.

Gathering Qi for protection, cautiously approaching to check them out, Tie Dan felt relieved.

Ha, this young master was so focused on running, he left even the magic treasures behind.

These items were indeed of good quality, all five were Nascent Soul Entry Rank magic treasures, but all were damaged, their Artifact Spirits clearly heavily wounded and in a dormant state, just like Tie Dan’s heavily damaged gourd, only usable as a magic artifact until fully repaired, unable to support and cooperate automatically, greatly reducing their effectiveness.

If these items were driven by Artifact Spirits, who could say the outcome would have been the same?

Upon further inspection by Tie Dan, using Divine Sense, these magic treasures’ cores bearing Xuan Nu Seals were all sealed with some special gold lacquer, clearly subdued by Artifact Refining experts, without a special method, impossible to repair the seals and restore their true power.

Lord Xiao said,

“As expected of the Xiaoyao Sect’s inheritance, back then sects that practiced this Evil Path were wiped out, and the Artifact Spirits in that sect were also misguided, hence all were sealed by a divine-binding order, strictly forbidden to unseal.

That person possessing so much inheritance is likely no coincidence, possibly a forbidden area of a Xiaoyao Sect mountain gate ruptured, or perhaps an Immortal Ancient Tomb from Ancient Times emerged, granting him the inheritance from Immortal Traces.

Ultimately, these items are targeted by the nine major sects and must remain hidden. Either reforge them or dispose of them early; otherwise, risk life-threatening consequences.”

Tie Dan nodded in agreement because he also knew the enmity between the Mystic Sect Hidden Immortal Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect. Such Daoist Inheritance conflicts are deadly. Heretics are more detestable than other beliefs.

In fact, with regard to Demon Palace and Demon Sect, the Mystic Sect even allows disciples to occasionally associate deceitfully or occasionally collaborate on schemes.

After all, Magic Couple Materials and Land are few in the world, most of the Immortal Fate is already with the Three Great Sects. The Cultivation World has passed down through so many generations, how many wild Heavenly Materials Treasures and Cave Heaven Blessed Lands are left for you to pick? The Mystic Sect naturally encourages its disciples to target rival sects’ possessions instead of coveting mountains’ reserves.

As for tricks like swindling, bribery or theft, that’s up to your own skills. As long as you don’t betray Honzan and lose secret manuals, even if you become a General of the Demon Palace or a Dharma King of the Demon Sect, the Sect Leader will turn a blind eye, after all, hasn’t everyone come through that in their youth?

But against the Xiaoyao Sect, there’s no room for negotiation, it’s a battle of ideologies, a vendetta between the Mystic and the Xuan, a bloody clash deciding life and death, the Hidden Immortal Sect against the Xiaoyao Sect is a struggle to the end, leaving no survivor, and being utterly severed and blocked on the Dao path means there’s absolutely no room for negotiation. So one can scheme against anyone, but not this lineage of Daoist Inheritance, at any cost.

Thus Tie Dan diligently used Sealing Demon Talismans to fill up these Xiaoyao Sect magic treasures, sealing their Spirit Talismans, preventing the treasures from gathering Qi. To show these items were all captured spoils of war, without any intention of active use, nor any causal ties, all available to turn over to the sect anytime, reassuring the mentors.

Concerning the severed hand, he also drained its essence blood, sealed it with a talisman, wrapped it up, making it like a monkey’s paw, considering it an Immortal’s hand, perhaps it could be submitted for a task in exchange for a Soldier Repelling Coin or something, or in the future use the cause of this item to track down Cluck Cluck, at the very least it could be used for medicine and alchemy…

“Hey, hey! Are you done or not! Hurry up! I can’t hold on any longer!”

“?”

Tie Dan turned his head, and saw Immortal Jiang Ying, disheveled, eyes bloodshot, face pale, body utterly white, crawling towards him with a long trail of red silk like a ghostly snake, crawling at Tie Dan’s feet.

“Quick! Quick! Hurry! Hold me! Help me detoxify! I’m in agony!”

“Oh.”

Tie Dan nearly forgot her, taking out a sandalwood, gold-pressed ling longevity-patterned hairpin from his bosom for her,

“Yao Honglei, here’s your item, please sign for it.”

“I don’t want this!!”

Yao Honglei screamed like a ghost, slapping the hairpin away and clinging to Tie Dan’s leg, taking a deep breath, eyes like autumn waters, gazing straight up at him.

“I only want you~~”

Tie Dan shrugged,

“Oh. Take off all your clothes.”

“Huh?”

Lord Xiao quickly brushed aside a cockroach braid.

So Yao Honglei promptly tore off and discarded her protective red silk, leaping towards Tie Dan.

Tie Dan also efficiently smashed an elbow into her face, following up with three punches, knocking her out cold.

“Ah, I bloody knew it!”

Lord Xiao stomped his feet in anger, flipped a delicate finger upwards, and sang to the sky,

“The ever-heartless men always betray the beloved’s will~~”

Tie Dan rolled his eyes at him, reached out his hand across Yao Honglei’s body, kneading and massaging, dislocating all her joints, then dislocated Yao Honglei’s jaw, removing three Poppy Soul Hook Needles from her throat.

On a closer look, these ’needles’ were actually refined from strands of hair, one end tied to the molar, the other hanging with a medicine bag, concealed in the esophagus for poisoning and refining medicine.

So for caution’s sake, Tie Dan pinched a formula of Sword Control, cutting off all Yao Honglei’s long hair.
