Reached a Consensus
Chen Mobai left South Stream Market and arrived at a Wild Mountain.
Just as I was about to take a break, two Sword Light suddenly attacked from behind, bright and dazzling.
"Who goes there!"
Chen Mobai was no longer a novice in Spell Duel. Two Wood Shield Talisman flew out from his sleeve, instantly transforming into two Azure Light Shield that blocked the Sword Light.
With a loud "bang," to his surprise, the two Sword Light pierced through the two Wood Shield Talisman without any resistance.
"They are two experts!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai's expression changed, and he dared not be negligent any longer.
The Water Element Shield moved at will, transforming into two vortexes that appeared above the path of the Sword Light, enveloping it and dissipating its sharp spiritual power.
But at that very moment! A sword's cry rang out.
The Sword Light split into two. While the Water Element Shield blocked two of them, the other two curved and pierced towards Chen Mobai's shoulder blades.
[Did you not aim for my vital points because you didn't want to take my life? Or were you hesitant?]
In that instant, the thought flashed through Chen Mobai's mind.
He activated the Wood Armor Talisman and the Golden Light Talisman held in his palm.
With a flick of his other sleeve, a Green Kerchief Handkerchief flew out.
With three layers of defense deployed simultaneously, they finally managed to block the two Sword Light that flew right in front of them.
Amidst the banging sounds.
Chen Mobai involuntarily took two steps back.
The spiritual power contained in these two Sword Light was so strong that even his three defenses could not be completely neutralized.
The Spell Duel they faced in the entrance exams for the Immortal Sect were not even in the same league.
Chen Mobai compared the Gong Xiangyu he had ever encountered: Gong Xiangyu Yan Feng.
He realized that even if these two people were to attack him together, they wouldn't pose as much of a threat as the two Sword Light from before.
This does not mean that these two Sword Light are more powerful than the Tianhai Sword Qi unleashed by the "Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman". Rather, it means that the people who made the move far surpassed these students from the Immortal Sect who grew up in a greenhouse in terms of combat experience, insight, timing of their move, and mastery of swordsmanship.
Chen Mobai had a calm and confident attitude towards his opponents from the Immortal Sect, but he found it extremely difficult to block these two Sword Light, and he had to be extremely focused.
"Who dares to attack a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect!"
After much deliberation, Chen Mobai realized that if his opponent had any reservations about him, then this newly acquired identity was the only option.
"Hmph, in this desolate wilderness, if I kill you, who will know?"
Two slender, one tall and one short, rogue cultivators wearing Bamboo Hat and black cloth covering their faces, revealing only their eyes, appeared before Chen Mobai, each Rogue Cultivator.
"Luckily, they were just two poor guys."
Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not using flying swords, but holding long swords.
If a flying sword were to attack him, his Defensive Talisman and Magic Artifact wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few blows.
"Seniors, I am merely a Rogue Cultivator with 20 Spirit Stone on me. If you require payment for my journey, please accept it, but please spare my life."
Even without flying swords, the skill level of those two Sword Light just now shows that these two rogue Rogue Cultivator are at least in the Late Qi Cultivation.
Moreover, he is Sword Cultivator known for his powerful combat abilities among cultivators.
Chen Mobai felt that he was no match for him, so his first thought was whether he could reach a consensus through words.
He untied a cloth bag from his waist, opened it, and threw it onto the grass in front of the two men.
Amidst the clinking and tinkling sounds, Spirit Stone rolled out from the untied bag, their shimmering light instantly attracting the attention of the two Rogue Cultivator.
However, they quickly came to their senses, raised their longswords, and aimed them at Chen Mobai's right hand.
"Seniors, what does this mean? Do you want me to use one hand?"
Chen Mobai couldn't accept it; if that were the case, he would have no choice but to fight desperately.
"No, we want the Sword Casting Ring you're wearing!"
The taller Rogue Cultivator spoke up, pointing with his longsword at the Brass Ring Chen Mobai was wearing.
"Sword Casting Ring?"
Chen Mobai raised his hand and looked at the Brass Ring on his finger. So this Magic Artifact had this name.
Is it a famous Magic Artifact? "Seniors, I can give you the item, but please give me a guarantee that after you take it, you will never lay a hand on me again or harm a single hair on my head."
Although Chen Mobai was very reluctant to part with the Brass Ring he had only used once, he felt that compared to his own safety, it was something he could give up.
"Okay, we can agree to that, but you have to agree to one thing for us."
"Please speak."
"We'll take the Sword Casting Ring and leave. You can't investigate our identities and origins because of this. Even if you do find out, the three of us can't hurt each other."
This was something the two brothers had discussed long ago.
The best way is to kill the robber.
However, the two brothers were also ambitious people. Having obtained the Sword Casting Ring, they were very likely to join the Golden Light Cliff.
At Golden Light Cliff, there is a trial called "Sword Grave: Test of the Heart." If one has done anything harmful to Golden Light Cliff, they will not be able to pass the trial.
The relationship between Golden Light Cliff and Divine Wood Sect is known throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland.
They were definitely in the wrong for killing and robbing, and if exposed, Golden Light Cliff would surely kill them to clean house for the sake of their own reputation. Therefore, they did not want to kill the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
Moreover, he is a genius with outstanding Spiritual Root, and is expected to become a true disciple in the future.
However, if they don't kill Chen Mobai, this genius, they might face retaliation if he achieves great success in his cultivation in the future.
Therefore, they also want a guarantee from Chen Mobai.
"Alright, let's make Dao Heart Oath in each other."
Although Chen Mobai was unaware of the complicated thoughts in the minds of these two fellow disciples, he grasped their desire not to kill the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
While marveling at how useful the tiger skin from the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect was, he also removed the Brass Ring he was wearing.
The three exchanged a glance, just as they were about to raise their hands to swear an oath.
A faint rumble of thunder suddenly sounded.
"Good heavens, they even had accomplices! As expected, everyone here is Cunning Villain!"
Chen Mobai thought that the Rogue Cultivator were deliberately trying to mislead him, and were waiting for him to take off the ring before making a move.
But then they saw lightning bolts shooting down from a distance, indiscriminately striking all three of them.
Huh!?
Just as he was surprised, the two fellow disciples opposite him also changed their expressions, thinking that Chen Mobai had known the news beforehand and had prepared reinforcements.
The two swords merged, their sword energy flowing, dissipating all the blue lightning to the roadside, leaving streaks of black char on the grass.
"I've been in the Eastern Wasteland for thirty years and I've never seen anyone like you."
He Qun came out with his two sworn brothers. He had a strange expression on his face, clearly shocked by the scene of Chen Mobai persuading the two of them with words.
