105. Chapter 105: Snatching a Bargain

"Do not push people too far."

That young man flew into a rage, then took out a white mirror again, shining it at the God-Devouring Ant. The ant instantly froze and fell from his body.

Then the young man activated the mirror again. A beam of white light shot out from the mirror, striking the God-Devouring Ant. The white light, which could normally drive anything away, could not harm the ant.

With no other choice, the young man used this to distance himself from the God-Devouring Ant.

Luo Yao frowned, sighing inwardly. No wonder she was a disciple of the Immortal Sect; the treasures on her person were truly numerous.

But she would not let Liu Xu escape. At her command, the God-Devouring Ants quickly surrounded him from all sides.

Seeing a dense swarm of God-Devouring Ants closing in, he immediately recalled his recent misery and cried out in terror, "Don't come closer! Do not come closer!"

"Wait!"

The shadow of death loomed over him, causing him to panic and slap at the God-Devouring Ants with his hands.

As he spoke, he actually took out his Storage Bag and threw it at Luo Yao.

Earlier, while the phantom was distracted, Luo Yao had ordered the God-Devouring Ants to snatch the treasures Liu Xu had dropped from his Storage Bag on the ground.

As the phantom vanished, Liu Xu's face turned even more grim. He dared not stay any longer and quickly turned to leave.

Terrified out of his wits, Liu Xu took out the mirror again and shone it at the God-Devouring Ants.

A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from the Starfall Hall, who was nearby, sensed that aura and immediately recognized it. His face instantly changed. "Not good, the young master is in trouble."

But there were so many God-Devouring Ants that Liu Xu could not hold back more than a dozen of them.

Liu Xu clutched his severed hand, howling in pain, but the stinging pain spreading through his body quickly forced him to calm down.

"Hmph!"

She was too lazy to care. Her only regret was that the God-Devouring Ants were too slow; dealing with agile humans would indeed be quite difficult.

"Give me the Storage Bag, and I will consider it."

Luo Yao, who was at the center of the vortex, had already hidden inside the Array. However, seeing the phantom's attack, her face still turned very grim.

Meanwhile, other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators nearby, upon sensing that threat, turned and fled in the opposite direction.

In the sky, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck the phantom. The phantom swayed, and finally dissolved into bubbles, vanishing from everyone's sight.

"I must escape, or I will surely die."

Indeed, the next second, the phantom attacked.

"I only have two kidneys; why do you keep staring at my kidneys?"

Watching the God-Devouring Ants surge forward again, he looked at Luo Yao. "Let me leave, and I can guarantee the Starfall Hall will not retaliate against you."

He was one of the guards sent to protect Liu Xu this time. Unlike the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator killed by Elder Xu, he was a confidant of the Great Elder, so he knew Liu Xu possessed the Great Elder's Spirit Power.

He wanted to pick up the white mirror lying on the ground, but the God-Devouring Ants occupied it. He had no choice but to roar, his Spirit Power surging wildly. Then, a phantom appeared on his body.

If Liu Xu faced a life-or-death crisis, it would be triggered.

Just the aura was this terrifying; going there would be nothing short of seeking death.

Luo Yao did not leave either. After waiting for a while, she recalled the God-Devouring Ants hidden within the ruins.

Unfortunately, the God-Devouring Ants would not listen to him.

Indeed, the God-Devouring Ants accepted everything offered.

And that terrifying attack also vanished into thin air.

Nascent Soul Stage?

Luo Yao thought of the background Liu Xu had mentioned earlier. Could this phantom be his Nascent Soul Stage grandfather?

Merely being glanced at by the phantom caused the Spirit Power in his body to freeze, leaving him unable to move.

"Ah!"

Fortunately, he frantically drove his Spirit Power, which allowed him to move. Thus, before the phantom could act, she quickly stepped back several paces and entered the Array.

The entire sky suddenly darkened. Cultivators around the ruins, even those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, changed color and looked toward that direction in shock.

"Damn it!"

Boom!

Just then, the Storage Bag suddenly exploded.

"Storage Bag?" Liu Xu paused, then nodded decisively in agreement.

Therefore, when he saw this phantom, he grew extremely anxious. If Liu Xu came to harm, even if he escaped the Secret Realm safely, he would still be on a path to death.

But there were also cultivators with great skill and bold hearts who quietly moved toward that direction.

Just like the attack that had immobilized the God-Devouring Ants earlier.

"What is this?"

Fortunately, he managed to save his kidneys in time.

She was even worried whether the Array could withstand the phantom's attack.

"How about this!"

Then, the phantom turned its gaze to Luo Yao, instantly making Luo Yao feel as though she were being stared at by the Grim Reaper.

Thus, he rushed desperately toward the ruins.

Luo Yao snorted coldly. "Since you seek death yourself, then I will grant your wish."

If even a Dharma Artifact could not deal with the God-Devouring Ants, how much less could a single hand.

Luo Yao quickly took out the Ice Illusion Thousand Threads and rushed to kill Liu Xu.

Countless Sword Qi rippled toward him like water waves.

"The Great Elder's aura?"

Obviously, the Storage Bag was a trap. Liu Xu had originally intended to use the Storage Bag to trap Luo Yao, but Luo Yao was not stupid. Liu Xu's decisiveness was clearly abnormal, so she had ordered the God-Devouring Ants to catch the Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag was controlled to arc through the air; Luo Yao could have reached out and caught it, but she decisively let the God-Devouring Ant leap up and bite at the Storage Bag.

Liu Xu hurriedly covered the Storage Bag and picked up the items that had fallen.

However, a sharp pain struck his waist; he could no longer grip the Dharma Treasure in his hand, and it dropped to the ground. Sensing his Spirit Power within, and even his life force diminishing, Liu Xu instantly wore an expression of terror.

He had no choice but to consume a Pill to restore his Spirit Power, then manipulated the white mirror to shine upon the God-Devouring Ant; whenever the white light struck it, the God-Devouring Ant would be frozen.

After that phantom image appeared, it noticed Liu Xu's condition; the phantom pointed at Liu Xu's severed hand, stopping the bleeding and making the pain vanish, then the phantom grabbed the God-Devouring Ant on Liu Xu's body and gave it a gentle squeeze, causing the God-Devouring Ant to explode.

Fortunately, just at that moment.

Liu Xu naturally held this in contempt; he waved the fan in his hand, easily blocking the Sword Qi, but the God-Devouring Ants took this opportunity to surge forward.

Moreover, through the battle just now, she also knew that the God-Devouring Ants were not invincible; although their defense was strong, there were still some attacks they could not block.

The God-Devouring Ant instantly stiffened and fell from his body, but the next second, he discovered another God-Devouring Ant crawling on his right waist, and his face immediately changed drastically.

She did not know how many trump cards Liu Xu still had in his hand; whether she could kill him was hard to say, but she could at least take some benefits first.

He finally knew fear.

"Good!"

But the next second, another God-Devouring Ant climbed onto his body; before he could react, he saw the God-Devouring Ant easily break open his Storage Bag, and the items inside came clattering down.

One of the God-Devouring Ants even climbed onto her body and bit at her kidney.

The shockwave of the explosion flung the God-Devouring Ant away; if Luo Yao had tried to catch it with her hand, her arm would likely have been ruined.

Hearing this, Luo Yao did not get angry but instead laughed; at this point, he was still threatening her.

What made Luo Yao happiest was that Dharma Treasure that could even freeze the God-Devouring Ants; when Liu Xu could not find it, he dared not stay any longer, so it benefited Luo Yao.

As Luo Yao erased Liu Xu's mark, she finally understood the power of this Dharma Treasure, making her extremely happy.

This time, she really did get a bargain.
