Who to Help

As Tang Tianshu ran outside, he couldn't help but look down at the ground: Holy crap! It's so white!

With a slight smirk, Tang Tianshu took out an outer garment from his Storage Bag and covered the woman on the ground with it.

"Who... who are you?!"

"Wearing a mask, you must be a disciple of the Demonic Sect! I'm going to kill you, what are you going to do?! All members of the Demonic Sect deserve to die!" Chen Hongling roared.

Holy crap, we Demon Sect members didn't dig up your ancestral graves, is it really necessary?...

I can't even do a good deed casually.

Wearing a mask, Tang Tianshu frowned, took back his clothes, and rummaged through them. Soon he got Chen Hongling's natal jade pendant. Tang Tianshu said in a low voice, "I reckon your Senior Brother Zhou will kill your Junior Brother Chu Li no time."

You say the Demonic Sect are all bad people? I'll show you today!

Our Demonic Sect doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I won't kill you. As for what happened just now... if I don't kill you, you should give me a reward.

Also, do you want revenge? I'll give you a pill now, and you'll be able to move freely again in no time.

When your senior brother Zhou An bullies you later, you'll be able to get your revenge.

I meant well...

Without saying a word, Tang Tianshu gave Chen Hongling a pill.

Giving Chen Hongling the pills was certainly not to encourage her to seek revenge.

His main hope was that she could kill Zhou An by surprise, so that Zhou An would not know of his existence and hunt him down.

After stroking it one last time, Tang Tianshu smiled and left.

Having just emerged from the cave, Tang Tianshu frowned and ran towards the center of the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm.

Su Li Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, and Zhou An Qi Refinement Tenth Layer.

Su Li definitely can't beat Zhou An, so if he tries to escape, he should go far away from the center of the secret realm, because the closer he gets to the center, the more difficult the path becomes, and the harder it will be for Su Li to escape.

They had barely moved forward for half an incense stick's time when Tang Tianshu cursed his bad luck, because judging from the sounds, Zhou An and his group were fighting not far ahead.

Despite the three-level difference in cultivation, Tang Tianshu secretly admired Su Li's ability to persist for so long. Just as he was about to turn and run east, a sound from ahead made Tang Tianshu stop in his tracks.

"Su Li, how can you only be at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

You clearly only Mediocre Spirit Root, so your cultivation should improve very slowly. How could your cultivation have advanced from the Qi Refinement Third Layer Refining to the eighth level in just three years? You must have some special Law Treasure!

"Bring it to me right now!..." Zhou An shouted from not far away.

Law Treasure!?

Despite Mediocre Spirit Root, he advanced from the Qi Refinement Third Layer to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer in just three years.

This... this cultivation speed is just too incredible!

Tang Tianshu immediately became interested. His biggest problem right now was that his progress was too slow. Although he could get the pills from Mu Ping'er, who knew if Mu Ping'er had added anything to them?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to obtain Su Li's magic Law Treasure allows him to level up quickly?

The sheep was right there; how could he not try to pluck it?! Thinking this, Tang Tianshu immediately used the Invisibility Talisman he had just activated, concealing his aura, and carefully circled around half a turn before rushing towards Su Li and the other person...

Several dozen feet away from Su Li and the other person, Tang Tianshu hid behind a giant tree.

Su Li and Zhou An were locked in a fierce battle when Zhou An, holding a blue flag in his left hand and a silver snake-shaped sword in his right, unleashed a barrage of wind blades as he waved the flag, slashing towards Su Li.

The blue flag must be a Talisman Treasure, and the snake-shaped sword is a top-grade spiritual sword that Tang Tianshu has been longing for.

Cultivator weapons, ranked by power from lowest to highest, are: Spirit Artifact, Law Artifact, and Law Treasure.

Although Talisman Treasure are more powerful than Law Treasure, they are consumables and rare to find. These Spirit Artifact are divided into four grades: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Tang Tianshu's current spiritual sword is a low-grade Spirit Artifact, and Su Li's spiritual sword is also a low-grade Spirit Artifact.

Su Li's cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and his weapon was inferior. He was also facing Zhou An's Talisman Treasure. The reason he was able to hold on was because Su Li had a small purple shield and a low-grade magic Law Artifact in front of him for defense.

At the same time, Su Li also drove six flying swords to continuously block Zhou An Talisman Treasure's wind blade attacks.

Su Li was able to control six flying swords because he used a magic array. However, the power of this magic array depended on both the strength of the array Movement Method and the cultivator's own cultivation level.

Tang Tianshu had seen an introduction to the magic array Su Li used in the Blood Yin Sect's library. This magic array was called the Five Elements Sword Formation. After the array was set up, it would conjure up a sword to attack the enemy. This sword array was comparable to a mid-grade magic Law Artifact. Although Su Li's cultivation level was low and he could not unleash the true power of the sword array, it was still enough to withstand Zhou An's Talisman Treasure attack.

The two are currently evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.

However, Su Li gradually became covered in wounds, because driving the weapon would constantly consume a cultivator's Spiritual Qi.

Once a cultivator's Spiritual Qi is exhausted, even the most powerful weapon in their hand is just an ordinary fire poker. If this continues, Su Li will definitely suffer in the end, because his cultivation level is low and his Spiritual Qi is obviously low.

Seeing that Su Li's spiritual power was about to be exhausted, Zhou An sneered, activated his sword, and was about to deliver a fatal blow to Su Li.

However, Su Li's sword formation suddenly became even stronger, and two flying swords headed straight for Zhou An.

Zhou An was shocked. He channeled his spiritual power, used his sword to parry, and retreated to avoid the attack.

Zhou An then realized that Su Li had replaced the driving Spirit Stone for the Five Elements Sword: using nearly twenty Spirit Stone at the same time.

Tang Tianshu saved up ten Spirit Stone in five years by living frugally. Of course, in those five years, he spent fifteen Spirit Stone just on improving Su Liyue's food and accommodation.

Su Li is really a tycoon.

Through Zhou An's words, Tang Tianshu also learned that Su Li had only Mediocre Spirit Root, had only joined the Kun Origin Sect for three years, and had no background whatsoever. It was already a miracle that such a disciple could be accepted by the Kun Origin Sect, so how could he be so rich?

The key issue is that Su Li still has over a dozen Spirit Stone. If this drags on, Zhou An will inevitably fail first this week.

Tang Tianshu had originally planned that if Zhou An, who Qi Refinement Ninth Layer, and Su Li, who was at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, fought to a draw and both were injured, then he, at the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, would have a chance to take advantage of them.

"Zhou An, you bastard, hang in there!" Tang Tianshu silently cheered for Zhou An in his heart: no matter who wins, Tang Tianshu won't get anything out of them.

Seeing Zhou An sweating profusely and turning purple, Tang Tianshu also felt uneasy, wondering if he should go out and help by launching a sneak attack on Su Li.

However, Su Li might still have a trump card, and Zhou An, that villain, certainly wouldn't be willing to share any benefits with him, so Tang Tianshu hesitated for a moment.

Suddenly, Zhou An roared and, disregarding his own safety, caused the wind blades of the cyan banner to stop protecting him and instead rush straight at Su Li. At the same time, Zhou An gripped his sword with both hands and slashed at Su Li.

It seems Zhou An has realized that continuing like this is extremely disadvantageous for him, so he plans to use his superior cultivation level to directly confront Su Li.

As expected, Su Li's sword formation was also busy defending against Zhou An's wind blade formation, unable to attack or even protect Su Li.

"Whom should I help?" Tang Tianshu frowned slightly, looking at the two fighting desperately...
