Chapter 146

Hu Jiushisan, could it be that you're mistaken? This fellow cultivator isn't a sword cultivator; he uses a flying sword because he likes flying swords or perhaps he knows a powerful sword technique?

Niuda speculated.

Not everyone who uses a flying sword is a sword cultivator; many Dao cultivators also like to use flying swords, given how many powerful sword techniques there are.

Someone like Wang Ping'an, who unleashes a barrage of talismans at once, is clearly wealthy; being able to gather several powerful sword techniques and equip two magical flying swords on paper persons and spirit pets is understandable.

Magical flying swords and sword techniques are valuable, but they aren't priceless treasures.

If you're willing to spend money, what kind of magical flying sword or sword technique can't you buy?

"I hope I guessed wrong!"

Hu Jiushisan spoke with a complex expression.

It hadn't forgotten that when Wang Ping'an used his flying sword to ambush and kill two strongmen, a golden light quickly appeared around their bodies— they too had used a golden talisman.

But the golden talismans those two strongmen used were nothing like Wang Ping'an's; instead of blocking wave after wave of spell attacks, they shattered instantly upon formation from a single flying sword strike.

That's why those two strongmen died so hastily—they hadn't even considered that their own golden talisman couldn't withstand a single round.

It's unclear whether they were distracted or simply had no time to employ other defensive spells or talismans.

If it hadn't misjudged, Wang Ping'an was simply flying his sword to kill, using no other techniques, yet possessed such terrifying power.

Besides Wang Ping'an's flying sword possibly being a high-grade magical artifact or even a treasure, the only explanation for such devastating power is that Wang Ping'an is a sword cultivator who has studied the sword way for many years.

Just that.

If Wang Ping'an were a sword cultivator, he'd be unlikely to also be a talisman master, though through him one might still encounter a talisman master.

But how could anything compare to Wang Ping'an himself being a talisman master?

It could only secretly pray that Wang Ping'an's deadly strike came from his flying sword's might, not from him being a formidable sword cultivator himself.

"These two bastards, I truly can't understand— they have no ability, can't even block a single strike, yet they learn from others to engage in murder and robbery."

Niuda snorted angrily, his face full of vexation—not because he was angry the two strongmen failed at murder and robbery, but because they weren't given a chance to show themselves, he said:

Now that fellow Daoist has already killed those two strongmen, what do you say we should do?

What else can we do? Of course we leave here!

Hu Jiushisan's expression fell; as it turned to leave, a "Pfft!" sounded, and a Sword Apparatus dropped from the sky, planting itself before it and blocking the path it was about to take to turn and leave.

Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, don't be impulsive; we didn't come to do evil, we came to help you!

Hu Jiushisan's face changed drastically; this Sword Apparatus before it was very familiar—it was the Flying Sword that had killed the two strongmen, clearly discovered by Wang Ping'an.

Niuda chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes… Fellow Daoist, you must not misunderstand; we are not the oriole behind the mantis catching the cicada—we came to help you!"

After the words were spoken, Wang Ping'an had not yet reacted, when Hu Jiushisan couldn't help but glare and glare at Niuda, not knowing whether Niuda's words were an explanation or adding fuel to the fire.

It truly wondered if Niuda was brainless, saying such words without fearing that Wang Ping'an would misunderstand.

Given Wang Ping'an's abilities just shown, he wouldn't fear slaying them on the spot.

Indeed, a beast that speaks without thinking!

Fortunately.

Hu Jiushisan gripped the Golden Light Talisman in its hand, giving it a strong sense of safety; this Talisman was from Wang Ping'an's hand, and as the Sword Apparatus was just planted before it, it immediately took it out from its storage bag.

"Ding! You have slain an Evil Cultivator who committed myriad evils; congratulations, you receive reward: Merit +1000!"

"Ding! You have slain an Evil Cultivator who committed myriad evils; congratulations, you receive reward: Merit +1000!" Two such mechanical, cold sounds rang in succession in his mind, Wang Ping'an's face showed a hint of joy, ignoring the shouts from below.

As soon as Niuda and Hu Jiushisan appeared here, he had already noticed them.

Who let him, when he was attacked by two Evil Cultivators earlier, use the Golden Light Talisman; the strength of this primary Golden Light Talisman somewhat frightened him.

He knew that the Golden Light Talisman from his own hand must be extraordinary.

But he never imagined that the Golden Light Talisman from his hand could actually block wave after wave of magical attacks.

Saying it's like a bronze wall and iron wall is not an exaggeration!

He didn't know whether to say his Golden Light Talisman was awesome, or to say the two murderous Evil Cultivators were pathetic.

While appreciating the two Evil Cultivators' magical attacks, he also paid attention to the surroundings, fearing a scenario where the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind.

He immediately noticed Hu Jiushisan and Niuda hiding in the mountains and forests!

Wang Ping'an stood on the back of the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, looking down at Hu Jiushisan and Niuda, two monsters, and a killing intent welled up in his heart.

This novel you to

It's not that he knew these two monsters were also here to commit murder and theft, and moreover they were two orioles.

He felt killing intent because slaying these two monsters might also earn Merit.

However.

This thought hadn't lingered a second in his mind before he rejected it himself.

First, he is not a wanton killer; who knows if the two monsters below have done evil? Those two dare to ambush him like Evil Cultivators; seeing their murder-and-theft deeds, it's not their first time.

Second, the Jiu tou shan ji shi will continue to come in the future; don't think his brief stay there just now was long—it's because he has few spirit stones, and he cannot kill the people of Jiu tou shan ji shi, lest he offend it.

Otherwise, he would have no way to go to Jiu tou shan ji shi again to purchase what he needs!

Given all these circumstances, he could only abandon the idea of killing Hu Jiushisan and Niuda.

Suddenly.

Hu Jiushisan's hairs stood on end all over, its whole body felt like it had fallen into a thousand-year ice cave, freezing cold, as if being stared down by some flood beast; it trembled and spoke softly:

"Niuda, is that fellow Daoist bearing killing intent toward us?"

If not for the Golden Light Talisman in its hand giving it a sense of safety, its mind would involuntarily recall how Wang Ping'an's earlier Golden Light Talisman, like a bronze wall and iron wall, had blocked wave after wave of attacks from the two strongmen.

Sensing the killing intent staring at it, it had already turned and fled with all its might.

"What nonsense are you spouting? We never had any designs on that fellow Daoist; how could he possibly harm us?"

Although that's what he said, Niuda still raised his utmost vigilance, only relaxing and letting out a cold snort after the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray brought Wang Ping'an flying to the corpses of the two strongmen.

"I see you're naturally timid; you'd better go back, then let me deal with this fellow Daoist."
