Chapter Thirty-Five: The Soul Chaser Needle
Xu Ruqing and Jiang Yian didn't care about the injured dragon snake. They rushed towards the Qin Yue Lian scattered everywhere and each took a piece of it into their pockets.
However, the two people who got a piece of Qinyue Lotus were obviously not satisfied, and they went to grab another piece at the same time.
Fortunately, Yu Xiao was not slow at all. He grabbed one of the pieces in his hand and put it into his storage bag easily.
The piece he grabbed was the smallest, with only two lotus seeds on it. Neither Xu Ruqing nor Jiang Yian fought with him.
Because the two of them immediately went straight to the biggest piece.
But they didn't succeed either, and the snake swallowed the largest piece in one gulp.
It was no surprise that the entire Qin Yue Lotus belonged to it. However, these humans who appeared in front of them not only took most of the Qin Yue Lotus away, but also injured them.
The dragon snake naturally holds a grudge against Yu Xiao and the others, but its intelligence is already high and it knows that if it continues to stay on the shore at this moment, it is very likely that its life will not be saved.
Therefore, it did not grab the last piece of Qinyuelian. Instead, it dragged its seriously injured body and quickly got into the small stone pool. After a wave of water surface, it returned to calm after a while.
On the other side, Xu Ruqing and the two men saw that the largest piece of Qin Yue Lotus was snatched away by the snake. Although they were unwilling to do so, they did not bother the snake anymore, but instead fought for the last piece of Qin Yue Lotus.
Yu Xiao did not take action, but just watched the two perform a wonderful speed competition.
In the end, it was Xu Ruqing who relied on her superiority in cultivation to grab the last piece of Qin Yue Lotus faster than Jiang Yian, becoming the biggest winner of the group.
He had two pieces of Qinyue Lotus in his hand, which together contained nearly ten lotus seeds. Jiang Yian's piece should have about four or five.
It's just pitiful for Liang Song. Not only was he knocked out by the snake, his life or death was uncertain, but he was not present when the final score was good.
Xu Ruqing was quite satisfied with the result. In fact, if they killed the dragon snake and divided the lotus seeds equally, he might not be able to get so much.
Thinking of this, he looked sideways at Yu Xiao, with a trace of unmistakable pride on his face, thinking that this guy was quite wise and didn't try to rob him.
However, Jiang Yian was a little ignorant and actually competed with him in speed. Fortunately, in the end, he was superior in skill and did not let the other party take over.
As for Liang Song, it was only his fault that he did not seize the opportunity. Originally, they could have obtained a whole Qinyue Lotus plant, but it ended up in this situation, which was really useless.
I remember that he had put in some effort, no credit but hard work. If he had not died, Xu Ruqing would still be willing to part with a lotus seed, lest people say he was dishonest.
With this thought in her heart, Xu Ruqing was in a good mood, with uncontrollable joy on her face.
It's a pity that the snake returned to the small stone pond. If he killed it in the end, he could still make a lot of money.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, Fellow Daoist Yu, we..."
Xu Ruqing glanced at the calm little stone pool. Before she could finish speaking, a slight sound broke through the air.
The next moment, he froze on the spot, his expression dull, and the light in his eyes gradually faded away.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what's wrong with you?" Liang Song wondered why he stopped mid-sentence.
Yu Xiao also felt strange, and vaguely felt something was wrong. Without saying anything, he patted the storage bag on his waist, and the small blue shield appeared out of thin air, and a blue water curtain bloomed in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, two thin black needles emitting faint purple light shot out from the void not far away, and struck directly between the two people's eyebrows.
Ever since he had the experience of being quietly attacked, Yu Xiao has clearly realized that the world of cultivating immortals is not a house of play, and there are no agreed-upon rules.
Your opponent will launch an attack at any time. Regardless of your level of cultivation, sneak attack is the best way to defeat the enemy.
If it were Yu Xiao, he would not hesitate to choose a sneak attack. Any moral character is all nonsense. Only the living can talk about morality.
Precisely because of this, he was already on guard against this kind of trick, and almost as soon as he felt something bad happened, he used his protective magic weapon.
Buzz!
The blue water curtain turned and blocked the thin black needle.
The strange thing is that after the black needle failed to attack, it turned into a faint black smoke and disappeared into the night.
Almost at the same time, without any hesitation, Yu Xiao raised his palm to form a magic formula, and a fire snake flew out of his palm, heading straight for the black needle that attacked Jiang Yian.
Jiang Yian didn't know what happened yet, but when he reacted, the fire snake exploded, and the violent impact shifted the black needle's attack trajectory a few inches to the right, just in time to miss Liang Song.
The moment he saw the black needle, Liang Song looked horrified and almost blurted out: "This is...a soul-chasing needle!"
"Soul-Chasing Needle?"
Yu Xiao's expression darkened, and he remembered what the soul-chasing needle was.
It is a one-time consumable, similar to something like a talisman, but it is an extremely sinister hidden weapon that can lock the enemy's breath and kill the opponent silently.
Usually this kind of thing is extremely complicated to refine and the cost is quite high.
Often a soul-chasing needle is worth a low-grade magic weapon.
You must know that a low-grade magic weapon can be activated multiple times and can be used as long as it is not scrapped. However, after the soul-chasing needle is activated, it will disappear regardless of whether it kills people or not.
The two soul-chasing needles just now were worth at least more than 200 spiritual stones. They were gone almost instantly. It makes me feel sad just thinking about them.
If Yu Xiao hadn't been alert and saw the soul-chasing needle at such a close distance, it would have been almost difficult for him to detect the appearance and disappearance of the soul-chasing needle.
This kind of hidden weapon really makes people's scalp numb and makes them sweat from behind.
Xu Ruqing was probably still immersed in joy at that time, and didn't even notice the soul-chasing needle shot from behind, and died on the spot.
Sure enough, we can never take it lightly at any time. This is a bloody lesson.
I thought that Liang Song, who had never heard any news, had probably been killed by them.
At the moment, although Yu Xiao and Jiang Yian don't know who is going to attack them, they all know that they are being targeted.
Moreover, he is the kind of person who must kill them, otherwise he would not use the sinister soul-chasing needle as soon as they come up.
Now the enemy is hiding and hiding, and we don't know how many people there are on the other side. Fighting head-on is not a wise choice.
run!
At this time, Yu Xiao only had one thought in his mind, which was to return to Futaba Island as quickly as possible.
There is the residence of Fuguang Sect. Not only are there more than thirty resident disciples, but there is also a senior who is in the early stage of foundation building.
He concluded that the cultivation level of the people who came to kill him would never exceed the late stage of Qi refining, otherwise they would not use such despicable methods. As long as they returned to Futaba Island, they would be safe.
Yu Xiao didn't care whether Jiang Yi'an had this consciousness or not. It was important for him to escape first, so he immediately used the soaring cloud method to jump up, summoned the kite in mid-air, and galloped towards Shuangye Island in the distance.
Seeing Yu Xiao's smooth and coherent movements, Jiang Yian quickly reacted and summoned the flying magic weapon to follow closely.
As soon as the two people moved away from each other, two figures quickly emerged from the woods to the west of the small stone pool.
As Yu Xiao had expected before, those two people's cultivation levels did not exceed the late stage of Qi refining, and both of them were at the sixth level of Qi refining.
One of them was obviously still brooding over the failed sneak attack with the soul-chasing needle. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, why is that kid so alert? My two soul-chasing needles!"
"Meng Zhifan, don't act like a girl. Aren't they just two soul-chasing needles? If you kill those two boys and steal their Qin Yue Lotus, will you still lose money?" The other person said blankly.
The other party glanced at him and said angrily and disdainfully.
"That's true. I didn't expect that there is actually a Qinyue Lotus here. Hehe, when the head of the family asked us to get rid of these four people, we were still a little reluctant. Now it seems that this is our destiny."
The monk named Meng Zhifan chuckled, his face full of greed.
"Hurry up and chase them, don't let them get away."
"What are you afraid of? They are just two registered disciples of the Fuguang Sect on the fifth level of Qi Refining. The people on Futaba Island have probably been sorted out by now. They can't escape even if they have wings."
