Chapter 207: Greed
In panic, the man tried to activate a teleportation talisman to escape from the area. But the second wave of attacks had already started.
The lotus bloomed further, opening another layer. Expelling a pink fume of gas, it had a good smell, just like a lotus flower. But unlike the lotus flower, despite the pleasant smell, this one was deadly.
It was a hallucinogenic drug, specially created to be used together with the poison on the first needle. It enhanced the hallucination, making it even stronger.
The man started finding himself in a strange place filled with many monsters, making him turn into panic.
He thought he had already used the teleportation talisman, but instead of moving to a safe place, he was teleported to an even more dangerous area.
Normally, this wouldn't happen, and he should have found something weird, but now his mind, body, and qi were muddled with poison.
And the next and final wave came. The qi inside started interacting with the mechanism, mixed with many arrays, and then BOOM! It exploded.
The Asura Fury Lotus bloomed into a full flower, giving out its splendor.
A lotus made of pink flames appeared, burning the Golden Core cultivator inside of it. It's one of the peak inventions of the Fang Clan, one that she never grew bored of looking at.
'It's the second time I use this, and it never ceases to amaze me. If only we could mass-produce this weapon. Our clan would be second to none in this world,' Lin Fang thought.
Meanwhile, a distance away from the area, Yang Fei was running for his life; his clothes were tattered, and both of his legs were torn apart. He was now being piggybacked by Zhang.
Zhang also didn't look any better; his qi was depleted, and his face was covered with sweat.
"Quick! Why are you slowing down, you damned geezer! Do you want to die!?"
After launching his trump card and spending almost every one of them, Yang Fei was desperate. Instead of killing the beast, it just infuriated her further.
Many thoughts started surfacing in Zhang's mind; he started weighing his choices to survive the situation.
After much deliberation, Zhang finally decided to release Yang Fei from his grasp, letting him fall to the ground.
Yang Fei's eyes glinted with murderous intent, "You damned geezer, are you going to leave me here?"
But Zhang didn't respond, nor did he look back. Instead, he used all his strength to try to run away. Since he had already decided to betray Yang Fei, there was no need to waste any more breath.
'I just need to run some more distance so I can use this teleportation talisman to escape, but to think there's such a strong beast here, what bad luck.'
But as he took the step, a searing pain pierced through his qi core. Blood seeped from his mouth as the blade twisted to wound him even further.
"Don't blame me, you geezer; you are the one digging your own grave," Yang Fei said as his eyes glinted red, but it was different with Alex and Mingyue.
Alex and MingYue only had their irises turn red, while Yang Fei's eyes completely changed color.
From the sword, Zhang Fei's body started changing into a husk of a dried corpse, but not even that was left out; it didn't take long for all of him to get eaten by his sword.
"A Demonic Cultivator… Interesting," a melodious voice reverberated in the air as the Celestial beast appeared behind Yang Fei.
"Kekeke… A cultivator? For a celestial beast, your sense is not that good," a demonic voice came out, making the celestial beast frown.
Yang Fei's hands and legs were now already fully recovered as he turned his back, facing the celestial.
The celestial beast's eyes flickered with anger, "The Sword of GREED!!! No way, you should have been destroyed."
A mouth appeared from the sword that Yang Fei held. "You seem to know me. Have we met before?"
"Just shut your mouth, Greed. Can't you see our situation? Are you sure you can beat her?" Yang Fei complained
"Hmph, just an old frog. How can I be defeated by them?" The sword snorted.
The Sword of Greed is a sword forged in the last war when demonic cultivators were still rampant; it's imbued with the soul of a very powerful Taotie that can grow stronger every time it eats a cultivator.
The celestial beast's aura started lashing out; after more observation, she now realized the sword still hadn't recovered to its peak strength.
"Greed, in the last war, you killed my partner. To think heaven gave me another chance to take revenge."
"Partner? Hahaha, I see you were that stupid frog's wife. But are you sure you want to attack us?
Killing me may vent your anger, but then what?
Rather than that, how about cooperating with me?
You should know that not all the creatures I eat are quickly consumed; I still put some in a stockpile just in case emergencies like this happen.
And that frog is one of them," the sword said as its mouth opened, spitting out a soul.
The celestial beast's eyes flickered the moment she saw this.
Meanwhile, Lin Fang had already returned to Blue Lotus Village.
She was now back in the room where MingYue and Rook were.
"Lin, what was the earthquake before? I could feel it even all the way here," Rook asked with a concerned tone.
"Don't worry, ancestor, it's those stupid pests. I already took care of them."
"The Yang Clan?" MingYue asked.
"Yes. So, we don't need your offer; we are perfectly capable of defending ourselves," Lin Fang said coldly.
"Lin, don't be too fast to make conclusions; tell me everything that happened," Rook said.
LinFang then elaborated on what happened in every detail; hearing this, MingYue frowned.
Before Rook could say anything, she said, "You do realize this means the teleportation array is already linked to the Yang Clan's main base.
Now that you've already killed their golden core cultivator, I am sure they will take this seriously.
They will send their whole manpower to this place."
