Chapter 256: Using Someone Else’s Strength To Kill Others (2/2)

“Who we are isn’t important. What’s important is that you hand over the soul tool to us. There seems to be quite a number of treasures on you, to the extent of being able to store humans inside. As long as you hand over all the treasures, we can let you guys off,” A short and plump man spoke.

“Haha! You two look like people from a righteous sect. But for you to keep on thinking of robbing others all day, don’t you feel that it doesn’t seem to fit your identity?” Cheng Yu looked at the duo, smiling. He hoped to delay a few more moments so that he could generate more Qi.

“Hehe, you are right. We are from a righteous sect. But who says that righteous sects can’t rob others? Besides, we have always determined you as someone from a demonic sect. Eliminating demonic sects has always been the job of righteous sects. Haha!” The plump man laughed.

“You two are slandering us!” Tian Xue who was standing behind Cheng Yu stood out and pointed at the duo, scolding them.

“Young lady, don’t speak rubbish. You are so pretty, if some parts were to be missing from your body, you will not be so pretty anymore,” The tall man standing at a side looked at Tian Xue, beaming with a smile.

“You…” Tian Xue wanted to continue scolding, but was pulled back by Cheng Yu.

“Aren’t you just aiming for my treasures? But even if I were to give it to you, I’m afraid you two wouldn’t be able to leave here,” Cheng Yu displayed a smile as he spoke.

“What are you trying to say?” That plump man’s expression changed. Could it be that this brat still had some trump cards?

“Do you really think that I would let others find me so easily?” Cheng Yu smiled.

“Hmph! Brat, don’t try to use such tricks to scare us. I know you do possess some abilities and were able to fight solo against a dozen Golden Core experts. You are someone unique in the Cultivation World, but I also know that you are currently injured. It’s better for you to hand over all your treasures!” Just now, they had distinctly heard that Cheng Yu had said that his body was very weak.

“Really? You seem to understand me a lot. But must I be the one making a move, and not someone else?” Cheng Yu smiled.

“Hehe! The helper you are saying couldn’t be it right? If it’s that alone, don’t dream of blocking the two of us,” The man pointed at Huo Yu and said.

“Since the two of you don’t believe me, I can only call them out,” Cheng Yu smiled. All of a sudden, his complexion changed. He pointed his Purple Light Sword towards the bushes on his right before tossing it over. After that, he shouted, ”I’m handing the soul tool over to you. Quickly run!”

The trio hiding inside the bush looked at each other and were baffled by the situation. But when they saw the incoming soul tool, they were elated. Why would they not accept it? With a leap, they exited from the bush and seized the soul tool.

“Looking for death!” That plump man saw Cheng Yu actually had a companion, so he quickly charged towards the soul tool. Cheng Yu’s mouth curled up. The way he tossed was truly up to standard. Regardless of it being it’s distance or altitude, it was just perfect. If the people hidden in the bushes wished to obtain the sword, they needed to jump. The timing was just right for that plump man to react.

“Ignore me, quickly run!” Cheng Yu saw the person hiding inside the bush had leaped up, so he hastily shouted. That person holding onto the sword was delighted. As expected, he broke into a run immediately.

“Where do you think you’re going!” That plump man thrust his sword over. As the situation called for it, the person had to turn around to fight back. The other two hidden inside the bush were stunned. Before they knew what was going on, the soul tool had already landed into their hands. They had to quickly escape. Both of them also flew out from the bush.

“Today, no one can dream of leaving!” Just when the tall man saw the other party actually had another two people, he unsheathed his sword and charged up as well. The five of them were all in Golden Core middle stage. Although there was an additional helper around, it was still hard to differentiate who was holding the upper hand momentarily. In an instant, the battle had turned chaotic, making them hard to be separated.

“Senior Brother, are they truly our companions?” At this moment, Tian Xing walked over to whisper.

“Of course. I long knew that they were following behind us,” Cheng Yu spoke confidently, purposely letting everyone hear it. By right, Cheng Yu wanted to fight against the duo forcefully. But when he received the information from Huo Yu that there were still people hiding in the bushes, Cheng Yu no longer dared to act blindly. He was already not in a good condition. To fight against the other two, it would certainly become a life and death struggle. By then, wouldn’t he give the benefit to the trio that was hiding? Furthermore, he would certainly die.

So, he racked his brain and thought of an idea: using someone else’s strength to kill! He believed no one would not accept a free soul tool. Those who wouldn’t want it were truly foolish. Cheng Yu saw that the five of them were in a stalemate and the soul tool were being transferred around, he swallowed a Qi Gathering Pill, rapidly absorbing the spiritual Qi.

The reason why the Qi was being formed very slowly was because the body could only absorb limited spiritual Qi. It worked the same as a water pipe within a reservoir. Regardless of how much water you have, the pipe was only so big and you could only let so much water pass. But if the water flowing into the pipe was very fast, then even if it was a similar pipe, the transfer would be a lot faster. Golden Core cultivators were able to circulate their spiritual technique autonomously. Therefore, Golden Core cultivators were able to last longer in a battle compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was all because they was able to accumulate Qi at any point of time. Cheng Yu stood at his position unmoving as he silently accumulated his Qi. His heart was delighted as he knew that the longer they fought, the better for him.
