Chapter 49 To Rob or Not to Rob
The Heavenly Bottle is undoubtedly a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. Even if it were to ascend to the Immortal Realm, it would be enough to stir up a bloody storm and cause countless powerful beings to bow down in its presence!
Its ability to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs is like having an unlimited resource cheat code. With this, one will never have to worry about the scarcity of pills again.
"Such a treasure, should we seize it or not?"
The moment the thought arose, the intense battle before him lost its color, and Luo Qing was caught in an extreme internal struggle.
On the one hand, he knew that with his pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, his future cultivation would be extremely difficult, but the Heavenly Bottle could provide him with unparalleled assistance.
On the other hand, a figure that stretched across the river of time, and a pair of eyes hidden deep in the underworld, sent chills down his spine and made him feel terrified.
The Heavenly Bottle is a powerful treasure capable of defying fate; however, seizing it could very well lead to one's instant death!
One step to heaven, one step to the abyss—how should one choose?
"Master, wake up! Your fellow disciples are all going to die!"
Meng Bao's voice suddenly rang in Luo Qing's primordial spirit, bringing him back to his senses from his difficult decision.
Looking at the battlefield ahead, it was indeed as Meng Bao had said; only two Qi Refining disciples from Jiyin Island remained standing.
They stood back to back, cautiously scanning their surroundings with expressions of extreme terror, as if they were the ones being besieged.
Luo Qing was not at all surprised by this result.
Although Han Laomo's cultivation level has declined, his primordial spirit cultivation level remains, and his wealth is top-notch among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Puppetry and talismans are available in countless quantities.
In contrast, none of Luo Qing's fellow disciples possessed even a top-tier magic weapon. Their only skill was to amplify their attacks by sacrificing their own essence.
However, Han Laomo's combat experience was extremely rich, and he didn't give them a chance to fight to the death.
"Senior Brother Luo! Have we offended you in any way? Why haven't you made a move yet?"
"Senior brother, act quickly! Otherwise, even if we're all dead, you won't be a match for this monster!"
Realizing they were no match for Han Li, the two Qi Refining disciples, in their desperate situation, kept calling out to Luo Qing for help.
What Han Li fears most is Luo Qing, who has seen through his formation. At the moment, he seems to be testing Luo Qing by having him rescue people.
Therefore, he deliberately slowed down the pace of the puppets' attacks, so that the two could live a little longer.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Luo Qing let out a sigh that no one present could understand:
"Well, at least I'm not barefoot anymore."
The moment he finished speaking, he exerted force in his palm, and with a crisp "crack," the cyan array plate was crushed to pieces by his force!
Once the core of the formation was broken, the howling azure winds around it instantly dissipated, and the Heavenly Wind Fierce Formation was destroyed in an instant!
"court death!"
Enraged at the sight, Han Li immediately used his powerful divine sense to control nine lizard puppets to spew beams of light, blasting the two Qi Refining disciples, who were already at their limit, into dust.
Immediately afterwards, he swung the mother blade of the Golden Cicada Mother Blade, and eight finger-sized golden child blades flew out in a chaotic yet orderly fashion, attacking Luo Qing from different directions.
"That's exactly what I wanted to learn from!"
With a thought, Luo Qing unleashed the Iron Bone Shield without needing to perform any hand seals.
Instantly, a headless and legless black skeleton materialized, completely protecting Luo Qing.
The golden blades immediately attacked the skull-shaped light shield with lightning speed, like a swarm of bees.
After several rounds, Han Li suddenly unleashed the Mother Blade, infused it with magical power, and slashed with all his might!
With a "bang," the mother blade was immediately deflected, failing to achieve any effect!
Upon seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly.
This was precisely the tactic he used to kill the first Qi Refining disciple: first, use the high-frequency attacks of the sub-blade to weaken the enemy's defense, and then use the mother blade to deliver a fatal blow.
Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators would be no match for this, but this evil cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining didn't even blink!
"What a hard shell! Let's see how much magic you have!"
After the first round of probing ended, Han Li immediately changed tactics, retreating and manipulating nine lizard puppets to surround Luo Qing while taking out a thick stack of talismans from his storage bag.
The next moment, beams of light, fireballs, water arrows, and golden blades and spikes spewed from the lizard puppet rained down on Luo Qing.
Although none of these attacks could shake the skull-shaped light barrier, Han Li showed no sign of stopping, clearly intending to wear down Luo Qing's magic power and eventually kill him.
This tactic, while not aesthetically pleasing, is certainly safe enough.
If it were any other cultivator, even if their cultivation level was much higher than Han Li's, they would still be unwilling to accept defeat.
The energy used by Ke Luoqing to unleash the Iron Bone Shield was primarily malevolent energy.
Under the laws of heaven and earth, malevolent energy is like a bone-deep infection; you can shake it off one moment and it will entangle you the next.
Although this might pose a hidden danger to Luo Qing's future cultivation, the speed of her recovery at this moment is enough to leave Han Li bewildered.
After a barrage of attacks, the nine lizard puppets suddenly stopped moving.
It wasn't that Han Li's divine sense was exhausted, but rather that the spiritual stones within their bodies had completely depleted their spiritual energy.
However, when the smoke cleared, Luo Qing was not only unharmed, but also arrogantly crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if to say, "Let me attack you."
"What kind of protective magic is this? It's so powerful!"
Han Li stopped making futile attempts. It was clear that there was something strange about Luo Qing, and he wouldn't be able to wear him down by just exhausting him like this!
"What? You have no other options?"
Seeing that Han Li was hesitant to make a move, Luo Qing provoked him in an unusually irritating manner.
"First you destroyed my formation, then you verbally provoked me. Are you trying so hard to anger me?"
Han Li looked at Luo Qing with a wary expression. This evil cultivator sounded young, and he couldn't understand his methods or actions.
First, they stood by and watched him slaughter his fellow disciples, refusing to come to their aid; then they only defended and did not attack, never even moving an inch from beginning to end.
Each and every one of these events was utterly incomprehensible, leaving Han Li completely baffled, and his sense of apprehension grew ever stronger.
"I only wanted to test your strength since you have some ability. If you can satisfy me, I will spare your life today."
Luo Qing sneered, speaking with extreme arrogance.
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Han Li didn't hesitate. Now that they had become mortal enemies, he absolutely could not let such a formidable foe leave unscathed!
With a swift movement of his feet, his figure instantly transformed into a ghost, beginning to roam around Luo Qing.
Is it the Cloud-Stepping Boots and the Smoke-Walking Step?
Luo Qing immediately recognized the method Han Li had used.
The Cloud-Stepping Boots are top-tier magic artifacts that allow cultivators to move so fast that they leave afterimages. Combined with the martial art of the Luoyan Step, they can be described as appearing and disappearing like ghosts!
However, Luo Qing had also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique to the first level, and his spiritual sense was not much weaker than Han Li's.
Since his divine sense was not suppressed at the moment, he would naturally not be bewildered by such a movement technique.
Therefore, Luo Qing let Han Li dodge and weave around her, but her eyes remained fixed straight ahead, and there was no sign of panic on her face.
