Jiaqing, You Must Listen to Advice
Chu Shaoqiang brought five helpers, and in the blink of an eye, both the Peeping Cultivator and the Mud Cultivator were killed, and the Poison Cultivator disappeared without a trace.
Chu Shaoqiang was still locked in combat with He Jiaqing. Facing the thief cultivator, he had many concerns about using his magic weapons, but Chu Shaoqiang remained calm.
Green Water Bend found Chu Shaoqiang's condition strange; why was he so calm?
Perhaps because Fire Cultivator and Feng Xiu were still around, Chu Shaoqiang felt confident.
Feng Cultivation Technique are unpredictable, and under the cover of Fire Cultivator, he can come up with unexpected moves.
Fire Cultivator can limit the lesions of the Green Water Bow. As long as the lesions are alive, there is basically no possibility of them getting close.
However, if you think that Green Water Bow only harms people by targeting lesions, then you are greatly underestimating the Patriarch of Disease Cultivator.
To have such a reputation in Pro State and to occupy Pro State's largest city, Green Water Bow's methods go far beyond this.
As the Fierce Flame approached, Green Water Bow twitched its nose and sneezed twice.
After the sneeze, a sudden gust of wind blew away most of the flames created by the Fire Cultivator.
Fire Cultivator was not surprised by Green Water Bow's defensive strategy. He continued to unleash flames, creating an opportunity for Feng Xiu to launch a sneak attack.
Suddenly, smoke rose from Green Water Bow's body, and his body temperature soared, evaporating all the pus, sweat, and tears on his body.
His skin turned red, like a red-hot iron, and his tattered clothes caught fire and turned to ash in the blink of an eye.
The feverish green liquid rushed towards the Fire Cultivator.
Fire Cultivator hurriedly used flames to block the Green Water Bow. He couldn't understand Green Water Bow's idea. If it wanted to force its way close while enduring the flames, Green Water Bow should lower its body temperature, ideally by freezing a layer of ice on its body.
Why did he burn himself like this?
Amidst the Fierce Flame, Green Water Bow neither parried nor dodged, and its footsteps remained perfectly unchanged.
When Green Water rushed closer, Fire Cultivator understood Green Water Bow's intention.
Green Flower changed his physical condition. He damaged his body and used a high fever to adapt to the high temperature of the flames from the inside out, so that he could still fight calmly in the flames.
Why is this beggar's approach so crazy?
Fire Cultivator concentrated his power and attacked the Green Water Bow's weak points, starting with its eyes.
Under the intense heat, Green Water Bow's two pupils became as clear and bright as ceramic.
His eyesight was unaffected. He reached out and pulled at Huo Xiu's throat, tearing off a ball of Fire Cultivator.
Not good!
Spark!
Fire Cultivator was shocked and retreated repeatedly.
All the techniques of Fire Cultivator originate from the fire seeds within their bodies. With each additional level of cultivation, one more fire seed is added. Fire Cultivator at Tenth Layer will have exactly ten fire seeds within their body.
The fire is the lifeblood of Fire Cultivator. Once the fire goes out, it can take several days or even months to rekindle it.
Extinguishing the fire source is the most effective way to deal with Fire Cultivator, but it is very difficult to get close to Fire Cultivator. The general strategy is to use ranged combat to maneuver around the Fire Cultivator and wait for an opportunity to attack the fire source.
Who would have thought that Green Flower would risk everything and actually get close?
Now that the fire in his throat had been extinguished by the Green Water Bow, before the Fire Cultivator could react, the Green Water Bow grabbed at his forehead again and pulled out another ball of fire.
The second spark was extinguished.
Fire Cultivator panicked, unsure whether to attack or defend.
Feng Xiu grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and threw it at Green Water Bow.
This mud can help cool down the Green Water Bow. No matter how useful it is, it's still helping the Green Water Bow. As long as you provide help, you can ask the Green Water Bow for a reward.
However, the flames were too hot, and the mud turned into dry ash halfway through, which was dodged by the Green Water Bow.
Feng Xiu held a lump of mud in his hand, preparing to rush forward and smear it on the Green Water Bow.
It was dangerous, but Fengxiu decided to take the gamble.
First of all, Green Water Bow is engulfed in flames, so all the lesions on his body must have died. There's no need to worry about getting infected if you get close to him.
If they can successfully apply the ointment to Green Water Bow, the reward will be obvious. Under these circumstances, if they can control Green Water Bow and work together with Fire Cultivator, they will have a chance to take Green Water Bow's life.
This Fengxiu lacked the skills of the Green Water Bow, and suffered greatly while getting close to the flames, his body covered in burns from head to toe.
Just as this muddy mess was about to be wiped away, He Jiaqing suddenly appeared beside him and splashed water on Feng Xiu.
Why did He Jiaqing come here?
Isn't he fighting with Chu Shaoqiang right now?
Chu Shaoqiang was rushing this way when He Jiaqing suddenly broke away from the battle. He was too fast for Chu Shaoqiang to keep up with.
Where does He Jiaqing's water come from?
He used Water Cultivator techniques.
As a thief, it's not unusual for him to know Water Cultivator techniques, but Feng Xiu couldn't understand why He Jiaqing was splashing water on him.
What happened next was something Feng Xiu never dreamed of.
He Jiaqing said, "Since you took my water, you have to listen to me. Stand here and don't move."
Feng Xiu is no longer able to move.
He Jiaqing will be Feng Cultivation Technique!
Green Flower suddenly turned around, grabbed Feng Xiu's skull, twisted his wrist, and ripped Feng Xiu's head off, tearing the headless corpse into several pieces.
Fire Cultivator wanted to come up and help, He Jiaqing used the technique of water dripping on stone to extinguish six sparks of fire on Fire Cultivator's body.
Fire Cultivator dared not move.
He had a total of ten fire sources on his body. Two were extinguished by the Green Water Bow, and six were extinguished by He Jiaqing. Now he only has two left. Most of his techniques are no longer usable, and he can't even release fire anymore.
By the time Chu Shaoqiang arrived, Green Flower's body temperature had returned to normal, but the lesions had recurred, and he had Fire Cultivator Huo Xiu with pustules all over his body.
The Fire Cultivator was beyond saving; in an instant, it rotted into a pile of minced flesh.
All five henchmen were wiped out.
Chu Shaoqiang remained calm, seemingly having no intention of escaping.
Green Water Bow looked at Chu Shaoqiang and said, "We've had some history, so you can leave. I'll spare your life." Upon hearing this, Cui Tike became anxious.
Why did the patriarch soften his heart?
Why is he suddenly thinking about our past relationship?
Green Water has always wanted Chu Shaoqiang dead, hasn't she?
As his thoughts raced, Cui Tike clarified a few things.
Green Water Bow really wanted to kill Chu Shaoqiang.
But he wanted the Ink Fragrance Shop even more.
Having burned himself so badly, he lost a lot of his fighting strength. In addition to the physical damage, his lesions could not be fully recovered in the short term.
He wanted to conserve his fighting strength to deal with Murong Gui and Ge Jun, so he decided to let Chu Shaoqiang go for the time being.
Cui Tike greatly admired the wisdom of the patriarch, but why did he want the Ink Fragrance Shop?
Ink Fragrance Shop and Green Water Bay are not adjacent, and in terms of popularity, Ink Fragrance Shop cannot compare with Green Water Bay.
Was it really to leave He Jiaqing some capital? Would the patriarch be so kind?
The reasons behind this are unknown, and Cui Tike wasn't too concerned about them. What he was really concerned about was the current battle situation. If the two sides stopped fighting, it would be difficult for the patriarch to embark on his journey, and it would be difficult to catch the fish.
Just as Cui Tike was feeling regretful, Chu Shaoqiang had no intention of leaving.
He looked at He Jiaqing and smiled, "You have Water Cultivator techniques and Feng Cultivation Technique. I saw you dare to get close to Fire Cultivator just now, so I guess you also know some Fire Cultivator techniques."
He Jiaqing nodded. "Uncle Qiang has a good eye, but there's no need to take this so seriously. By tomorrow, it's uncertain which Daoist technique I'll be familiar with."
"No need to wait until tomorrow, let's settle this today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the word "Hidden" appeared behind Chu Shaoqiang.
The word "hidden" disappeared, and a middle-aged man, wearing a dark blue gown and holding a folding fan, slowly emerged from the night.
Green Water Bow's cheeks trembled for a moment; he recognized the man.
He Jiaqing recognized the man; his name was He Caiyuan, He Haiqin's father and He Jiaqing's grandfather.
The founder of the He Family business.
He Caiyuan has been dead for ten years. In He Jiaqing's memory, He Caiyuan was an eighth-level literary cultivator when he died. He never expected that he would appear in front of He Jiaqing today.
"Sir, what's wrong with you—"
He Jiaqing didn't know what to say.
He Caiyuan laughed and said, "Jiaqing, you're very capable. I'm relieved to have such a fine young man in our family." He Jiaqing could only reply with this.
He Caiyuan waved his hand and said, "This is not a compliment. To be honest, at your age, my cultivation level was far inferior to yours."
I've been watching from the sidelines the whole time, and I've taken note of quite a few of your tactics. Using such cunning against your own juniors is rather unseemly.
But the younger generation always surpasses the older, and many old guys like me have fallen victim to them.
There are some things we must be wary of.
No wonder Chu Shaoqiang was so calm; he had a ruthless person behind him.
The five Tenth Layer cultivators he brought were all there to kill, firstly to weaken Green Water Bow and He Jiaqing, and secondly to make it easier for He Caiyuan to formulate tactics.
Green Water Bow gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, you're still so shameless."
He Caiyuan frowned slightly. "Green Flower, we can talk about our business later. Let me finish talking about my family matters first."
Jiaqing, Hai Qin was the one you sent to the Holy Land, wasn't he?
Holy Land, a name some people use for the Inner State.
He Jiaqing did not answer.
He Caiyuan laughed and said, "You don't need to be afraid. You didn't do anything wrong. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you should go to the Holy Land to cultivate. This is the right path."
Hai Qin had been through some hardships, and his temperament had improved considerably. Using my connections, I managed to get him a good job.
Before long, Hai Qin's cultivation will reach the Cloud Realm. As for whether he wants to return to become Local Earth God or stay in the Holy Land to continue serving, that will be decided later.
It's not hard to tell from these words that He Caiyuan has a certain status in Inner State, even higher than Chu Shaoqiang.
He Caiyuan opened his Folding Fan, waved it a few times, his smile fading, and said to He Jiaqing, "But there are some things you did make mistakes in. Like getting involved in this mess today, you shouldn't have."
"At such a young age, you possess such excellent cultivation; you should focus your attention on family matters. Yu Xiu is not cut out to manage the household. Listen to your grandfather and go back home immediately."
He Jiaqing stood still, He Caiyuan closed the Folding Fan.
You should listen to the advice your elders give you!
The word "listen" appeared in the night sky and quickly flew towards He Jiaqing.
He Jiaqing tried his best to dodge, but the "Listen" sound exploded beside him, triggering He Jiaqing's Peeping Cultivation Technique. He Jiaqing's only remaining ear began to ring incessantly.
Green Water Bow, covered in sores, was ready for battle.
He Caiyuan, with a stern face, looked at Green Water Bow and said, "As for you, I'll show you a way out. If you want to live, go back to Green Water City, hand over the contract as soon as possible, and go to the Holy Land to beg for forgiveness."
P. S.: The water is getting muddier and muddier, and the fish are getting harder and harder to catch.
