Chapter 116 Conspiracy
Chapter 116 Conspiracy
Xia Zhongnan laughed loudly: "If you want to know whether you intend to trap us, the Yuanhua realm cultivators, it is easy to do! From now on, the two sides must stop when they are ready. Those who go beyond the rules will be considered defeated. Do you dare to continue this competition? If you dare to accept the challenge, then just treat my previous words as absurd, and guess the ambitions of you gentlemen with the heart of a villain."
Mu Lianqing and Leng Changhong looked at each other, and both knew that the young cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage had already discovered this matter, and their trick would no longer succeed.
As a result, they had a real killing intention towards Xia Zhongnan. However, facing a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, there was no need for the two to join forces to deal with him. At this moment, Mu Lianqing instantly left his seat and flew out, heading straight for where Xia Zhongnan was.
More than fifty Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators around exclaimed in unison. Among them, Gu Xiuzhan even drew out his spiritual sword and rushed towards Xia Zhongnan, intending to provide assistance as soon as possible.
Xia Zhongnan had already expected that Mu Lianqing would be the first to attack, so he would not be unprepared. In an instant, a jet-black iron spear appeared in his hand, and he also stepped forward and took the initiative to meet Mu Lianqing who was rushing towards him.
Mu Lianqing had originally planned to capture and kill a mere Spiritualization cultivator with his bare hands to intimidate the other Spiritualization cultivators. But when he saw Xia Zhongnan charging at him with a spear in hand, he suddenly felt uncertain, and a measuring ruler suddenly appeared in his hand, swinging it towards Xia Zhongnan's black iron spear.
With a "buzzing" sound, the clashing sound of the spear and the ruler resounded all around, and Mu Lianqing felt a huge backlash force crashing into his body, causing him to retreat four or five steps involuntarily. Xia Zhongnan was even more so, flying more than ten feet away like a kite with a broken string under the impact of this force, and he couldn't help but slide back a few steps when he landed.
This head-on confrontation left everyone dumbfounded. Who could have expected that Xia Zhongnan, a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, actually had the strength to compete with a strong man in the Void Return Realm.
Mu Lianqing's face changed several times. He couldn't believe that he, as a cultivator in the Returning Void Realm, could not hurt a cultivator in the Spiritualization Realm in a head-on fight. This made him feel humiliated and he shouted angrily, "You really have some skills. No wonder you dare to look down on a cultivator in the Returning Void Realm! Even if you are so arrogant, you can't escape the fate of falling today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the measuring ruler in his hand and rushed towards Xia Zhongnan again, trying to take him down in one fell swoop. However, Xia Zhongnan, who was slightly weaker in strength, did not continue to choose to fight head-on, but cleverly dealt with Mu Lianqing.
At this moment, a black iron spear in his hand was tumbling like a real dragon. No matter how Mu Lianqing used the Heaven-Measure Ruler to attack, Xia Zhongnan blocked it tightly. The "ding-ding" sound of the weapons clashing came one after another, and for a moment, Mu Lianqing was unable to gain the upper hand.
Gu Xiu Zhang stood in mid-air, staring in amazement. After seeing Xia Zhongnan again in such a short time, his cultivation had soared to the point where he could compete with the cultivators in the Huanxu realm.
Leng Changhong, who was watching from a distance, was surprised and asked loudly, "Old Mu, what happened to you? Can't you even deal with a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"
Mu Lianqing did not respond, but just increased the intensity of his attack more and more frantically. He was anxious, and never expected Xia Zhongnan's actual combat strength to be so strong. Even though he had tried his best, he still could not really suppress this junior in the Spiritualization Realm. It seemed that only by relying on the long-lasting spiritual power of the Return to Void Realm cultivator could he possibly wear him down.
While Xia Zhongnan was resisting Mu Lianqing's offensive, he was also secretly looking for a way to break the impasse. He knew that if it was a protracted battle, with his cultivation level, he would never be able to defeat a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm.
After a moment, Xia Zhongnan took advantage of the gap in the battle and suddenly asked, "Mu Tianzun, are you really going to fight me to the end?"
Mu Lianqing rushed forward again, beating him while shouting: "Boy, do you think you can leave here alive? I will never be able to relieve my hatred unless I grind you to dust!"
Xia Zhongnan blocked him and sneered in response: "A dignified cultivator in the Return to Void Realm actually intends to perish together with me. This is really admirable!"
Mu Lianqing replied with a cold smile: "Humph, you think you can die with me? That's just a foolish dream!"
Xia Zhongnan said calmly: "I admit that I don't have the ability to fight you to a mutual loss, but have you ever thought about it, there is a Void Returning Realm cultivator watching the fight. If you insist on taking my life, I am afraid your own vitality will be exhausted. When you are exhausted by then, how are you going to deal with Leng Changhong? Do you want to be shameless and beg him to spare your life? The problem is that even if you are willing to be his pet dog, Leng Changhong may not spare your life!"
Hearing Xia Zhongnan's words, Mu Lianqing couldn't help but feel cold in his heart...
He glanced at Leng Changhong quietly and found that this cold-faced master who seemed to be watching the battle leisurely was actually secretly watching the fighting situation here, fearing that he would miss the slightest change. Even though Leng Changhong did not intend to take advantage of Mu Lianqing's spiritual power turbulence to kill him, as he continued to attack Xia Zhongnan, this idea inevitably emerged in Leng Changhong's mind.
Mu Lianqing's mind was roaring like thunder. The boy's remarks about "dog's life" and "lapdog" made him furious but helpless. His words were sharp and well-organized, hitting his sore spots, making him extremely angry but unable to fight back.
He had never expected that he, a renowned cultivator in the Return to Void Realm, would be restrained and unable to move by a tiny cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
He took a few deep breaths of heaven and earth energy, forcing himself to calm down and weaken the power of his attack. Then he said with resentment: "Young man, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Xia Zhongnan saw that Mu Lianqing had been touched by his previous words, and thought that he should have temporarily given up the idea of fighting to the death with him, so he responded: "Even though I am a little arrogant, this is all earned by relying on my own strength. Have you ever seen a Divine Transformation cultivator who can compete with a Void Returning Realm strongman?"
Mu Lianqing sighed, "You are right. With your cultivation, even the outstanding disciples carefully trained by the top sects may not be able to defeat you. My friend, are you interested in planning an earth-shaking event with me?"
Xia Zhongnan asked back: "Are you planning to join forces with me to deal with Leng Changhong?"
Mu Lianqing praised: "You are indeed very sharp-minded. You saw through the plan between me and Old Monster Leng at a glance."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Mu Lianqing replied: "I will call over Old Monster Leng in a moment and have him help us besiege you. After he joins the battle circle, you and I will suddenly join forces to launch a surprise attack and catch him off guard."
Xia Zhongnan's heart moved. Even if he summoned all the strange beasts, he would not be able to resist the two powerful Return to Void Realm cultivators at the same time. But if he could let the two kill each other and get rid of one first, the remaining Return to Void Realm cultivator would not be a big deal.
However, the three of them were on the same battlefield. As the weakest party, Xia Zhongnan could not withstand the combined attack of two powerful Return to Void Realm masters. If he was not careful, he would die on the spot.
