Chapter 714: Turning against them

~12 min read 2,230 words

There were banging sounds all around, and the rock-fire giant was fighting with something. Of course, the Ju Ju was no pushover. It seized the opportunity and jumped out of the ground in two leaps, less than fifty zhang away from Zhu Xiuer.

At this time, Zhu Xiuer had just dodged a stab, and the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God's long spear pierced the ground. As a result, with the spear tip as the center, the ground within a radius of five zhang completely collapsed.

This was a stone mountain polished by wind and frost for countless years, yet it was silently swallowed up by a zhang deep!

It wasn't an explosion, it wasn't a blast, but annihilation.

Sand, gravel, grass roots, and shrubs turned into black smoke on the spot, leaving nothing behind.

He Lingchuan was horrified. What would be the consequence if this spear pierced a flesh-and-blood body? At the very least, he couldn't take it.

And he could see that the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God's spear was very restrained, not expanding the range, just limiting it to Zhu Xiuer's feet.

In other words, this Heavenly God hadn't used its full strength at all.

He Lingchuan took a hurried glance and found that in addition to a conspicuous blood hole on its back, there were many cracks on its face and hands.

These wounds were smaller, unlike those left by Zhu Xiuer, and the skin was turned outward, looking more like they were stretched and cracked.

Each blood wound looked like a mouth that had been pulled open.

Poor Lu Shishi, originally a delicate and pretty girl, now had her skin turned outward and blood flowing from her wounds, coupled with her cold and sharp gaze, she was no different from a Yaksha.

At this time, a behemoth followed closely and climbed onto the ground.

Sure enough, the Abyss-Sinking beast had arrived.

"Come!" The Ju Ju didn't say a word, reaching out to scoop up Zhu Xiuer.

Fortunately, it was tall and had long arms, so it didn't need to bend over for a distance of fifteen zhang.

The Hundred-Battle Heavenly God, who was fighting Zhu Xiuer, stabbed over with a spear.

This spearhead contained a bit of golden light. Don't look at it as not even counting as a toy compared to the Ju Ju's size, but as long as it hit, the power of destruction would definitely make the Ju Ju remember it for a long time.

The rock-fire giant sensed danger and threw several volcanic rocks with red patterns at it, each weighing tens of thousands of jin.

The Hundred-Battle Heavenly God dodged two of them and stabbed the last one to pieces with its spear.

The magma contained inside exploded immediately, but the direction of the splash was surprisingly consistent, actually toward Zhu Xiuer.

But the spider immortal didn't hesitate, spraying a spider web at the magma, and its eight claws sprang, directly jumping into the Ju Ju's palm.

Don't look at its thick chelicerae, in fact, it possessed all the abilities of a cave spider. With such a round body, it actually felt light when jumping.

The Ju Ju grabbed the spider immortal and sank down, like a big fish entering the water.

The movement was done in one go, and the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God couldn't interrupt it.

The rock-fire monster's massive figure disappeared from the ground, leaving only the messy forest all around.

The Abyss-Sinking beast opened its mouth toward the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God. The latter frowned, not knowing what it meant, but saw National Master Qingyang standing in the giant beast's mouth and saying to her: "Come up, we'll chase!"

So that was it.

The Hundred-Battle Heavenly God also jumped into the Abyss-Sinking beast's giant mouth. This monster also dived into the ground.

The two spots for carrying people were full.

But its movements were clearly not as agile as the Ju Ju's. The mountain-marsh spirit sealed by the Demon Emperor couldn't be compared with one born of heaven and earth.

The Ju Ju traveled underground, and He Lingchuan directly said to Zhu Xiuer: "Tell him to rush to Qianxin Rock, immediately!"

This "him," of course, referred to Dong Rui.

Dong Rui had said that he would only wait for two quarter-hours. Once the time passed, he would escape on his own.

However, from the beginning of the operation until now, it had only been less than a quarter-hour.

Those life-and-death situations, those twists and turns, those earth-shattering moments, were all highly concentrated in this quarter-hour.

He Lingchuan had never felt that time could pass so slowly.

Dong Rui also had an eyeball spider in his hand, and this thing could communicate in real-time as long as it kept within thirty miles of Zhu Xiuer.

In other words, Zhu Xiuer now possessed the vision of both He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, and could talk to both of them at the same time.

Zhu Xiuer did as told.

Qianxin Rock was outside the Mount Xushan territory. As long as they arrived at Qianxin Rock, theoretically, it could be considered leaving the scope of Mount Xushan.

He Lingchuan asked Zhu Xiuer again: "Did you have a grudge with the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God?"

Zhu Xiuer snorted and didn't answer.

That meant there was one.

A few breaths later, He Lingchuan's eyes brightened, and the Ju Ju climbed onto the ground again.

Mount Xushan was like its backyard, and it wouldn't go the wrong way no matter how remote the location was.

"The Mount Xushan territory ends here, I'll send you on your last journey!" The Ju Ju threw the spider immortal out for more than a thousand zhang with great force! He Lingchuan lay on Zhu Xiuer's forehead, riding the clouds and mist together, and the Ju Ju's happy laughter came to his ears:

"Ahahaha, the contract is complete, we don't owe each other anything!"

He Lingchuan lowered his head and saw the silver bracelet on his wrist shatter into several pieces with a "crack."

His agreement with the Ju Ju was very detailed, requiring the Ju Ju to safely send them out of the northern part of Tianji Peak and leave the Mount Xushan territory before it counted.

It wasn't that he didn't want to push his luck, but that things like contracts often required both parties to take a step back to reach.

This was already the Ju Ju's limit of tolerance.

Clearly, the keywords "safe," "northern part of Tianji Peak," and "send out of Mount Xushan territory" had all been met, the contract was judged complete, and the oath chains were immediately untied.

The last shackle on the Ju Ju was thus broken.

Could it not be happy?

From now on, it could finally act as it pleased.

Just seven or eight breaths later, the Abyss-Sinking beast emerged from the ground behind it, pouncing with teeth and claws.

For this three-surname slave, Chief Envoy Du Yun wouldn't give it a good look.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" The Ju Ju said while dodging, "They have already left! If you stop now, I will tell you their whereabouts!"

The Abyss-Sinking beast ignored it and continued to attack.

Everyone knew this guy was cunning; maybe it wanted to use delaying tactics.

The Ju Ju parried two attacks and cursed loudly: "Chief Envoy Du Yun, are you senile? What's the use of fighting with me? If you keep fighting, they will really run away!"

The Abyss-Sinking beast opened its mouth, and two figures jumped out, standing on the hill next to it:

"Where are they going?"

The Ju Ju pointed: "They are going to Qianxin Rock, I threw them to the south of the rock, you can still catch up and intercept them now!"

The two figures turned into streamers and rushed south in a flash.

"How about a truce?" The Ju Ju said to the Abyss-Sinking beast again: "This Abyss-Sinking beast is also not easy to control, right? How much longer can you persist?"

It had fought Abyss-Sinking beasts more than once before, knowing that this monster had always relied on instinct to fight. Now that it had become so organized and could carry living people to chase, it was mostly controlled.

To control such a giant beast, every second required huge mental effort. Humans couldn't persist for long at all.

Chief Envoy Du Yun sneered: "You just don't want to fight the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God, right?"

The Ju Ju's chance of winning against the Abyss-Sinking beast was not small. But add a Hundred-Battle Heavenly God who had descended?

And National Master Qingyang.

Three against one, the Ju Ju's best response was to avoid fighting and burrow into the earth's core.

"Neighbors for so many years, why fight?" The Ju Ju chuckled twice: "I will return the

Once it regained its freedom, it raised its status from the mountain-guarding beast of Lingxu City to a neighbor of the gods.

Chief Envoy Du Yun was also thinking quickly.

The Abyss-Sinking beast's resistance was becoming more and more intense, and if he persisted, he would easily be backlashed. Once his divine soul was exhausted and couldn't return to his true self, a good Chief Envoy Du Yun would become a walking corpse.

He didn't want to end up like that.

Besides, if they didn't make peace with the Ju Ju and the rock-fire giant continued to cause trouble, what good would it do for the Tiangong, Mount Xushan, and Lingxu City? The Star-Plucking Pavilion was destroyed, the divine object was stolen, and the Ju Ju was an important accomplice. Of course, the Heavenly Gods and the Tiangong were unwilling to let it go so easily. But the facts had already happened, and how to deal with the aftermath was the most important thing.

This loss, I'm afraid the Tiangong would have to swallow it with gritted teeth in the end.

Thinking of this, the Abyss-Sinking beast stopped its hand, its voice dull like thunder: "You come back to the Star-Plucking Pavilion with me to listen to the holy will!"

In the end, this matter still had to be decided by the Heavenly Gods.

The crime of being an accomplice could be settled slowly later!

The Ju Ju chuckled, having no objection.

To bargain, one had to find an object that could make the decision. Besides, Chief Envoy Du Yun couldn't control the Abyss-Sinking beast for long, and all the bargaining chips were in its hands.

Riding the clouds and mist for dozens of zhang, He Lingchuan suddenly said: "The direction is wrong, it's reversed!"

They were clearly going to Qianxin Rock in the north, but the Ju Ju threw them to the south. This was a standard case of going south by driving north!

Zhu Xiuer was in mid-air, quickly spraying spider silk to stick to the tree canopy below, forcibly braking itself.

After breaking four or five trees, it jumped back to the ground.

He Lingchuan asked the small fire person: "What's wrong with you?"

The Ju Ju chuckled: "Threw it wrong, threw it wrong! You just run two more steps."

He Lingchuan said "oh" calmly, suddenly grabbed the small fire person on his shoulder, and before it could react, fed it directly to the divine bone necklace! "The Ju Ju has turned against us, it wants to harm us!" He Lingchuan reacted extremely quickly, "Call Dong Rui to come and respond!"

The Ju Ju turned against them, so he couldn't keep the fire person clone to eavesdrop on their intelligence and plans.

Zhu Xiuer rushed toward the north with its eight legs, and remained silent for a few breaths, as if communicating with Dong Rui.

Only then did it say: "No, this is saline-alkali land, he said his mount can't come over."

"Damn it! Then run over."

No wonder the trees here were sparse, and the thickest ones were not even enough for two people to hug. It turned out the soil was bad. Some frogs could live in salt water, but the ghost toad was probably not this kind, and Dong Rui made this demon puppet by synthesizing two creatures, one of which was a giant snail...

How afraid of salt snails were, needless to say, right?

I don't know if the Ju Ju did it intentionally or unintentionally, but it caused a big trouble for He Lingchuan's escape.

Damn it, this guy is really not a good thing.

Once the oath chains were untied, the two parties who had made the contract had no relationship. The Ju Ju turned against them at the first opportunity, and He Lingchuan would definitely retaliate.

The divine bone had been coveting the fire person clone for several days, and only then did it finally eat it.

The good partner who had fought side by side just now broke up and dismantled the stage at the first opportunity after the oath chains were untied.

Zhu Xiuer had lived for thousands of years and had seen all kinds of strange things, so it immediately asked He Lingchuan: "Does it want to betray us?"

"Definitely." He Lingchuan figured out the pros and cons in a flash.

The Ju Ju was determined to get out of trouble, but it didn't intend to completely fall out with the Tiangong. It wanted to show off its might, teach these ungrateful Beijia people a lesson, and then reconcile afterward.
