Chapter 1058

This Sky-Sweet Cardamom is truly the Xie Sect's tight grip.

He, Zhu Tie Dan, has truly fallen into the trap.

Thinking of the four great secret agents, Luo Jusheng, and Lady Luo being drained dry on the spot.

Five top experts had died one after another in misery.

Cao Zhengchun understood that this Tie Dan Shenhou was also about to follow in their footsteps.

Coldly laughing in his heart, this lifelong archenemy had finally cocooned himself to death.

He immediately leapt away, deliberately keeping a wide distance from Tie Dan Shenhou.

He feared that this man, in his dying moments, would drag him down as a cushion.

Sure enough, after Tie Dan Shenhou struggled for a long time and found he couldn't shake off the Sky-Sweet Cardamom.

He steeled his heart, used his palm as a blade, and actually wanted to cut off one of his own arms on the spot.

It was just that when his palm-blade struck his shoulder, a powerful rebounding force actually came back.

Not only did it numb his palm, it seemed as if the true yuan and qi circulation within his body were draining away even faster.

Only then did he understand that he had truly fallen into the trap, and could not even sever his arm to survive.

He immediately began to roar madly,

"Huike, Huike, you demonic monk, come out to me at once…"

After a bout of roaring, aside from echoes coming from deep within the stone hall, no one answered.

"Hah! What demonic monk Huike is there?

Zhu Tie Dan, for all your fox-like cunning, today you have cocooned yourself to death, and shall perish here."

Seeing Tie Dan Shenhou in such a wretched state, Cao Zhengchun could not help but mock him.

He had already made up his mind: once Tie Dan Shenhou was drained dry by this Sky-Sweet Cardamom, he would certainly strike and finish off this lifelong archenemy.

"Old eunuch dog, it's all because of you…"

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's mockery, Tie Dan Shenhou immediately glared at him.

Those eyes seemed about to spit fire, as if wanting to swallow Cao Zhengchun alive.

"Since you laugh at me! Fine, let's perish together!"

Seeing him call out and the demonic monk Huike not appear, and with only Cao Zhengchun here,

Tie Dan Shenhou immediately leapt up, rushing toward Cao Zhengchun at great speed.

He wanted this old eunuch to also taste the feeling of being drained dry!

Cao Zhengchun had long anticipated that Tie Dan Shenhou might fight to the death, so before Zhu Tie Dan even charged over, he had already deployed his movement art and fled to the other side of the stone hall.

Although Cao Zhengchun still had residual poison in his body at this moment, and his true yuan had also been partially dissolved by Tie Dan Shenhou earlier.

Yet Tie Dan Shenhou was now being madly absorbed by the Sky-Sweet Cardamom; every moment dragged on, his strength and stamina would drop by two measures.

With one gaining and the other losing, his current strength was actually no match for Cao Zhengchun.

So much so that this first strike missed entirely.

But Tie Dan Shenhou was not discouraged in the slightest; now that he felt he could not survive, naturally he would not allow Cao Zhengchun to live either.

He immediately exerted force again, spun his body, and continued to chase after Cao Zhengchun.

After dodging several times in a row, Cao Zhengchun found Tie Dan Shenhou's aura growing weaker and weaker.

He could not help but laugh again and say,

"Hah! Shenhou, you're about to be squeezed dry by that Sky-Sweet Cardamom, why insist on dragging me down with you?"

"If you don't come down, how will this Sky-Sweet Cardamom bloom?"

Just then, within the stone hall, a leisurely voice suddenly rang out.

At some unknown moment, an old monk had actually appeared in a corner of the stone hall.

This man wore a red kasaya draped over his body, his features kind and benevolent, every inch the image of a cultivated Gao Seng.

"Master Liaofan?"

Cao Zhengchun dodged another lunge from Tie Dan Shenhou and looked toward the sound.

He realized this Gao Seng was none other than Yunzhou Shaolin's abbot, Master Liaofan.

"Demonic monk, you've finally appeared! Today I will perish together with you!"

Tie Dan Shenhou, who had been preparing to lunge at Cao Zhengchun, upon seeing this old monk appear, channeled all his fury onto him.

He no longer cared about Cao Zhengchun, and instead charged straight at him.

This old monk, who looked almost identical to Liaofan, was precisely the very monk who had tricked Zhu Wushi into the Heart Chan Hall back then.

At this moment, amid his benevolent expression, his face also held several hints of smugness.

Even though Tie Dan Shenhou lunged with full force, he merely raised a hand lightly and executed a move of the Prajna Palm.

Where the palm wind rose, it actually sent Tie Dan Shenhou flying backward.

Cao Zhengchun watched, his heart pounding with shock, and could not help but be even more curious as to who this monk truly was.

After all, although Tie Dan Shenhou had been losing power continuously, he was still the foremost expert under heaven.

Even Cao Zhengchun did not feel he could send Tie Dan Shenhou flying with a single gust of palm wind.

"What are you standing there for? Cao Zhengchun, it is time for you to fulfill your mission."

The old monk who resembled Liaofan, seeing Cao Zhengchun dazed, actually spoke in a very casual manner.

His manner seemed as if he had already decided the date of Cao Zhengchun's life and death.

"Insolence! Who exactly are you? How dare you be rude to this Eunuch?"

Cao Zhengchun appeared to be blustering, but in reality was retreating step by step toward the stone passage.

This old monk had appeared abruptly, spoke with a grand tone, and had even sent Tie Dan Shenhou flying.

Clearly, this old monk's background was no small matter.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun was not in his peak condition, and naturally would not sit and wait for death here.

"Do you think you can escape fate?"

The monk grinned.

Cao Zhengchun did not understand, when suddenly a gust of fierce wind struck from behind.

The palm wind on the left was fierce and violent, like Yunzhou Shaolin's Great Strength Vajra Palm.

The palm wind on the right was yin-soft, actually resembling Yunzhou Shaolin's Demon-Subduing Palm!

When had two more Yunzhou Shaolin experts silently arrived behind him?

At this critical moment, Cao Zhengchun still wanted to use his movement technique to dodge these two strikes.

But these two who had launched the sneak attack from behind were clearly not easy opponents either.

The palm winds suddenly accelerated, at the very instant Cao Zhengchun was about to employ his lightness skill.

One on the left, one on the right, they struck Cao Zhengchun's waist respectively.

Even though Cao Zhengchun had deployed his Heavenly Balance Boy Skill, it was still broken in a single strike.

"Ah! My kidneys…"

Cao Zhengchun let out a miserable cry, feeling as if these two palms—one hard, one soft—had nearly punched straight through his body.

He could no longer suppress the violent poison within; he only felt his qi and blood churning, a bitter taste at the corners of his mouth.

Yet the two behind him had no intention of letting him off.

One of them struck like lightning, sealing all of Cao Zhengchun's vital acupoints, leaving him with no ability to resist.

The other, as if hauling a dead dog, grabbed Cao Zhengchun by the collar and dragged him over to Zhu Tie Dan's side.

"Hold his hand!"

Pointing at the hand of Zhu Tie Dan that was gripping the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, this person coldly ordered Cao Zhengchun.

Only now did Cao Zhengchun taste the feeling of what it had been like when he had ordered the Eastern Depot experts to their deaths to grab the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.

The feeling of being unable to control one's own body was truly unbearable!

"Hurry up!"

This person was also an old monk, yet extremely irritable.

The moment Cao Zhengchun was merely dazed, the monk impatiently kicked and shattered one of Cao Zhengchun's shinbones!

"Heh! Although this old eunuch is not a man, he's still a tough guy. Even if you cut me into a thousand pieces today, I won't walk into death on my own."

The shinbone shattered, and excruciating pain shot through him.
