Chapter 962 - 861: Two Spirit Bodies
Duan Gujin, on the other hand, was very pleased to see the martial artists ahead killing each other, but he really didn't want himself and Mo Yan to stay close by.The result was obvious, once the martial artists settled their fight, the victor would definitely want to kill the three of them to silence them.
Wu Xiuqing was strong and fearless.
But if the victor decided to target them and Wu Xiuqing didn't help them, they would be in serious trouble.
"Could it be that she just wants to watch the show?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered. He racked his brains for a while but couldn't figure it out.
The battle in front quickly ended. Although a gang leader had joined the over-hundred-person team, he was eventually defeated and slain by the two martial artists attacking together.
Seeing the gang leader die, the other martial artists lost the will to fight. They instinctively tried to escape, but soon, they were slain by the two martial artists.
"Now it's your turn!"
The two martial artists were puzzled as to why the three of them didn't run.
But since they stayed, it was good news to them!
They were ecstatic.
"Oh, really? Come on then! I'm curious to see how capable you are?"
Wu Xiuqing smiled faintly, her gaze full of disdain.
"Kill!"
Though the previous fight consumed a lot of their Primordial Power, the two martial artists were confident. They knew what stood before them was merely a Spirit Body, and they were worried the Spirit Body's combat power was too strong for them to handle.
Their initial thought was to swiftly kill the hundred martial artists so that no one would know they had snatched Wu Xiuqing's treasure.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body stayed behind with the two martial artists.
Fortunately, they had tested Duan Gujin's and Mo Yan's strength earlier. They knew they were genuine Early Stage Martial Saints.
While Wu Xiuqing was powerful, she couldn't afford to protect the two weaker Martial Saints while fighting them at the same time.
"Those two are just burdens! Let's hope those two Martial Saints mean something to Wu Xiuqing, so we can use them as leverage against her!"
So thought the two martial artists. After taking some Elixir Pills to slightly recover their Primordial Power, they charged toward Wu Xiuqing.
Wu Xiuqing chuckled, "I knew you two were up to no good! What a pity!"
Before she could finish, one of the martial artists suddenly exploded by a powerful force, turning to ashes.
The other martial artist didn't expect the situation to unfold like this, completely beyond his expectations.
He never thought his fellow would unknowingly fall into Wu Xiuqing's trap.
"What's going on?"
The remaining martial artist thought hard. He soon recalled the dead martial artist had previously snatched the treasure Wu Xiuqing threw to them.
"Seems like the treasure was the problem!"
The martial artist gasped, suspecting Wu Xiuqing had tampered with those treasures earlier.
"Would she even destroy her own treasures?"
The martial artist rolled his eyes, considering the possibility.
"You're despicable!"
The martial artist cursed, his face full of fear, now realizing that he had completely underestimated Wu Xiuqing's capabilities.
He became devoid of his previous arrogance, now only cursing Wu Xiuqing.
Duan Gujin and Mo Yan immediately recognized the martial artist who slapped Duan Gujin earlier. Seeing him defeated was a delight for Duan Gujin.
"Tsk, did you really think I would obediently hand over my treasures to you? Do you take me for a fool?"
Wu Xiuqing said disdainfully.
Duan Gujin and Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Wu Xiuqing had set up a scheme long ago. Earlier, the array placed on the treasures had just exploded.
Duan Gujin was puzzled, wondering how Wu Xiuqing deceived the deceased Demigod Peak master.
Logically, a Demigod Peak master should have been able to detect the treasures' issues with his Divine Sense.
However, the Demigod Peak master didn't detect any problems before.
The remaining martial artist's face changed drastically, frightened. He rolled his eyes, knowing he'd been tricked from the start.
His body flashed, rapidly turning into a streak of light, attempting to escape.
The martial artist knew that running now meant all his previous efforts were wasted, but he had no choice.
He had expended considerable Primordial Power before and hadn't fully recovered.
Initially, he intended to two-on-one, allowing him to easily eliminate Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body upfront.
But things changed too quickly.
Before they acted, his companion was already dead.
Facing Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body alone was practically a death sentence!
"As long as the green hills are there, I don't fear not having firewood! Revenge is never too late!"
Thinking this, the martial artist fled.
Suddenly, he noticed dozens of massive earth spikes appearing in the void ahead.
Those spikes rose swiftly from the ground, surrounding him.
With a thought, the martial artist wielded his Hand Blade, sending countless Sword Energy slashing at the spikes ahead.
In less than three breaths, he'd destroyed all the spikes before him.
As he exhaled in relief, intending to escape at Extreme Speed, Wu Xiuqing suddenly appeared before him.
"How is this possible?"
Wide-eyed and shocked, he frowned, casting his Divine Sense around and soon confirming there was another Wu Xiuqing Spirit Body behind him.
The realization startled him, and after probing the strengths, he concluded.
"It's another Spirit Body!"
"Die!"
He roared, his body transforming into a streak of light, charging at what he believed was Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body ahead.
A huge knife phantom appeared before him, with powerful Sword Energy erupting from it.
However, Wu Xiuqing ahead showed a look of mockery. With a wave of her right hand, a phantom Longsword quickly formed before her.
In the next moment, the Longsword phantom turned into Lightning, rushing at the martial artist at Extreme Speed.
The Sword Qi clashed with the Sword Energy, obliterating all the martial artist's Sword Energy. The torrential Sword Qi pierced his body directly.
The martial artist activated his Protective Technique at Extreme Speed, but in the next moment, the Sword Qi penetrated his body, slicing him in half, killing him.
Seeing the martial artist in such a miserable state, Mo Yan's forehead beaded with droplets of sweat.
Only now did he realize Wu Xiuqing had two Spirit Bodies, each with considerable combat power.
"Go gather all the treasures from the storage rings of those martial artists and bring them to me. Whatever I don't want, I'll give to you. If anyone asks you to return those treasures, tell them Wu Xiuqing gave them to you. If they want them back, they should come to Wu Xiuqing!"
The Spirit Body of Wu Xiuqing behind them said indifferently.
"This?"
Mo Yan was momentarily stunned, unsure whether he should follow Wu Xiuqing's instructions.
"Thank you, Miss Xiuqing!"
Duan Gujin, who had heard about Wu Xiuqing's tales, knew she didn't abide by conventional rules.
Rumors spoke more of her Demon Sect style.
"The words Demon Immortal alone are enough to describe her uniqueness!"
Understanding her character, Duan Gujin thought.
"Alright! We'll act immediately, Miss Xiuqing, please lift the suppressive force on us first!"
"Okay!"
Duan Gujin sensed the suppressive force on them disappear and, along with Mo Yan, moved forward to retrieve the storage rings from the fallen martial artists.
After a while, they laid all retrieved storage rings before Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body for her Divine Sense inspection.
She checked each storage ring, found some useful treasures, then gave the rest of the remaining treasures in the storage rings to Duan Gujin and Mo Yan.
Watching the two martial artists ahead of her, she mused, "I'm worried you might turn on each other for these treasures. What do you think I should do?"
"We won't!"
Duan Gujin and Mo Yan replied almost in unison.
"Hehe, the human heart is hard to predict!" Wu Xiuqing's eyes flickered, and she smiled thinly, though her laughter didn't reach her eyes.
