Chapter 862

The ring was naturally obtained by He Pingsheng after slaying Crown Prince Qingqi's main body.

This was his spoils of war.

Theoretically speaking, it no longer belonged to Crown Prince Qingqi.

"I know!" Qingqi said: "But besides this ring, I have no other magic treasures!"

"Hu Chen... where are you going?"

Speaking of this, Qingqi suddenly shouted.

He Pingsheng's gaze shifted slightly, looking toward the exit of the valley not far away.

There was an aura there, surging cautiously, wriggling while observing the situation around it.

He Pingsheng saw that it was a figure, the Daoist Elder Cangqiong who had come with him.

What?

Hu Chen?

"You know him?" He Pingsheng asked Crown Prince Qingqi.

Crown Prince Qingqi snorted coldly and said: "I naturally know him; this fellow is a notorious thief from our Qingqi Imperial Domain!"

"Cunning and treacherous, he never does a losing business!"

He Pingsheng's gaze narrowed slightly again.

Daoist Elder Cangqiong, Hu Chen?

Which one is his real name?

Hu Chen showed an awkward smile on his face; his current situation was extremely awkward.

Originally, when He Pingsheng and Qingqi were fighting just now, it was his best chance to escape.

Unfortunately, this fellow harbored the greed of a fisherman profiting, thinking that the two would both be injured and he could reap the rewards.

He didn't expect He Pingsheng to be so formidable, slaying the Body Integration Stage Crown Prince Qingqi with only a Void Refinement cultivation base.

At this moment, he was in an awkward spot.

Because he was far from being He Pingsheng's match, there was no hope of snatching the Doutian True Thunder; since there was no hope of snatching the true thunder, he might as well leave.

He had just started moving when he was called out by Crown Prince Qingqi.

"Hehehe..." Hu Chen chuckled a few times and said: "That... cough cough cough... Fellow Daoist Taixuzi... actually, I didn't deceive you; my real name is Hu Chen, but Daoist Elder Cangqiong really is my Daoist name!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Do you dare to swear?"

Hu Chen's face immediately turned dark.

However, his expression changed quite quickly, and he immediately smiled again, saying: "Fellow Daoist Taixuzi, it is a blessing for our race that the human race can have a genius like you!"

"We are all human; using an alias when walking outside is sometimes not considered deception!"

"I hope you can understand!"

He Pingsheng nodded and said: "I can understand..."

"Come over here!"

"There is no hatred between you and me, so naturally I won't make things difficult for you!"

"Come over..."

"Help me collect this Doutian True Thunder!"

"Oh oh oh... alright!" Hu Chen had no other choice.

He had already seen He Pingsheng and Crown Prince Qingqi's battle; he knew that if He Pingsheng wanted to kill him, it really wouldn't take three moves.

Hu Chen obediently ran to He Pingsheng's side: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I wonder how you want Hu to help?"

He Pingsheng said: "You rest for a while, I will capture it tomorrow!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Crown Prince Qingqi said: "No..."

"This Doutian True Thunder has already developed intelligence; our fighting here just now has already startled it. It's better to collect it as soon as possible to avoid long delays."

He Pingsheng wanted to collect it the next day, thinking that the 【Thunder Binding Curse】 would be easier to use after being strengthened.

But after hearing Crown Prince Qingqi's words, he also nodded and said: "That works too!"

The Thunder Binding Curse was just a string of incantations.

It wasn't any divine ability or spell, so there was no need to comprehend it.

One could directly mix magic power and spiritual sense while chanting the incantation to produce magical effects.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Chen!" He Pingsheng looked at Hu Chen and said: "That cover of yours is not bad; at a critical moment, it can also block this Doutian True Thunder for a moment!"

"Later, when I capture this thing with the curse technique, if it wants to escape, you take the opportunity to cover it for me!"

"Just covering it for the time of one breath is enough!"

"That's no problem!" Hu Chen patted his chest and said: "I can do it!"

"Hmm!"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, reorganized the content of the Thunder Binding Curse, and then looked faintly at Crown Prince Qingqi's soul: "What you told me had better be the real Thunder Binding Curse; if it's fake, you might as well not live!"

"Rest assured!" Crown Prince Qingqi said: "I won't lie to you, but... Fellow Daoist Wang Dun, this... hehehe..."

"I am currently in a soul state and am most afraid of lightning power!"

"If you, Fellow Daoist, are going to collect that Doutian True Thunder, please be sure to protect me well, otherwise I will really die..."

"Fellow Daoist..."

He Pingsheng smiled and took out a small green banner: the Soul-Nurturing Banner.

This thing was of a very low grade and hadn't been used for hundreds of years.

But it was still fine for temporarily storing Crown Prince Qingqi's soul.

He Pingsheng stored Crown Prince Qingqi's soul into this soul banner and then threw the soul banner into his spatial ring.

Clatter...

Crackle...

On the vigorous bark of the Five-Needle Pine, streaks of lightning power flickered.

He Pingsheng stretched out his hand, pressed his palm against the trunk of the divine pine, and then the magic power in his body, combined with his own spiritual sense power, surged out and extended down along the trunk of the Five-Needle Pine.

At the same time, his mouth was chanting the incantation of the 【Thunder Binding Curse】.

Streaks of the curse technique triggered a certain special rule power to fly out from the heaven and earth void, and then entered the big tree.

At this moment, the entire massive Five-Needle Pine was lit up by silver light.

The pine tree turned silver.

Night had fallen!

This silver light almost lit up half the void; looking from any direction from all sides, it was spectacular.

Deep underground, the Doutian True Thunder was greedily devouring the origin of the thunder path.

It had developed intelligence, but it was very low-level.

Soon, He Pingsheng's divine power mixed with magic power was transmitted over.

At the same time, hollow incantations came, pulling at the rules of the void.

"Zzzzzzz..."

The lightning spirit trembled in fear and decisively stopped absorbing the lightning power.

Then, the streaks of incantations bound it tightly, and pulled by the rule power moved by these incantations, it slowly moved upward along the massive root system of the Five-Needle Pine.

From the roots to the trunk, and then with a fierce pull from He Pingsheng, it was extracted from the trunk.

"Collect for me..."

He Pingsheng roared, and with lightning speed, he threw the silver Doutian True Thunder directly into the magic treasure space of his Primordial Violet Gold Staff.

Once it reached this magic treasure space, there was no longer any fear of this thing running away.

"Roar..."

"Roar roar roar roar..."

After arriving in the magic treasure space, the Doutian True Thunder angrily transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang-sized lightning dragon, constantly crashing around in the magic treasure space.

However, no matter what, it could not escape the imprisonment of the magic treasure.

He Pingsheng let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and took this magic treasure into his body.

The Doutian True Thunder was in hand.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, congratulations, Fellow Daoist..." Hu Chen came to He Pingsheng's side with a bowed body, looking all smiles.
