Chapter 204: The Shocking Sword, Behind the Black Foot
Faced with this sudden situation, Cang Hong at this moment couldn’t care less about Chen Shisan’s affairs.
Because that spiritual creature just now was precisely his target for this trip, the Treasure Mouse!
“It turns out this is Meng Yu, the fairy from Kongming Tian. I didn’t expect you to be interested in the Treasure Mouse too!”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have…”
“Shut up!”
Cang Hong’s words were interrupted by the cold, frost-like white-clothed fairy.
Being reprimanded like this made Cang Hong’s face instantly darken.
However, Meng Yu from Kongming Tian completely ignored him and simply gazed quietly at Chen Shisan below.
“Hand over the Treasure Mouse, and I will help you fend off those two, granting you a chance.”
“Chirp~”
As soon as Meng Yu finished speaking, the Treasure Mouse darted out from Chen Shisan’s hair, its little paws waving in the air as if scolding the woman.
“Whoosh!”
Before the Treasure Mouse could fully express its emotions, a cold glance from Meng Yu made it retreat back to Chen Shisan’s hair, revealing a pair of pitiful little eyes.
After intimidating the Treasure Mouse, Meng Yu glanced again at the thin, unremarkable young man standing before her.
“The Treasure Mouse is a rare and exotic species; many cultivators seek to obtain it, including those two.”
“Submit the Treasure Mouse, and you’ll be kept safe with an opportunity granted to you.”
Faced with Meng Yu’s words, Chen Shisan scratched his head in confusion and said, “With your power so strong, you could just take it directly.”
“I was just about to draw my sword and cut them down; one more of you doesn’t make much difference.”
Hearing Chen Shisan’s words, Meng Yu took another look at the young man before her.
“The Treasure Mouse traveled thousands of miles to be near you, which means it has recognized you as its master. I have no interest in stealing from the weak.”
“If you refuse to hand it over, I will wait for them to k*ll you and then take it.”
“By that time, the Treasure Mouse would be worthless.”
Having said that, Meng Yu stepped back two paces, seemingly genuinely planning to wait until Chen Shisan was dead before taking action.
Seeing this, Chen Shisan chuckled and said, “You’re quite reasonable then; I won’t slice you.”
“If you can successfully take the Treasure Mouse, then it will be yours.”
With those words, the innocent smile on Chen Shisan’s face vanished, replaced by a serious expression.
At the same time, the broken True Martial Sword began to emit faint sounds.
However, the sword’s resonance was extremely weak, akin to a frail patient.
“Chirp!”
Just as Chen Shisan was about to draw his sword, the timid Treasure Mouse suddenly dashed out from his hair and spat a mouthful of colorful “spit” at the True Martial Sword.
“Buzz!”
The moment the “spit” came into contact with the True Martial Sword, it suddenly radiated a dazzling light.
Seeing this scene, Cang Hong and Nangong Ruoxue quickly stepped back.
A divine weapon!
Absolutely a divine weapon!
From the momentum alone, this weapon’s master was at least a seventh realm cultivator.
How could such a divine weapon appear in the hands of a Spring Eye Realm cultivator?
“Whoosh!”
Chen Shisan drew his sword.
At the moment he drew his sword, there was only one thought in his mind: to swing the sword.
No worldly matters would distract Chen Shisan from the task of swinging his sword.
Not even his severely injured body, the changes in the True Martial Sword, or the actions of the Treasure Mouse…
“Crash!”
Nangong Ruoxue’s jade flute was smashed like tofu, and Cang Hong’s armor couldn’t withstand it either.
The two Heavenly Prodigies of the True Self Realm were as fragile as paper before this sword strike.
“Crack!”
The sword qi penetrated through both of their bodies, causing the surrounding space to shatter.
However, what appeared after the space cracked was not endless void but rather a vast Crimson Realm.
The heavily wounded Cang Hong and Nangong Ruoxue fell into the fissure.
Just at that moment, a “black foot” quietly appeared behind all of them.
“Bam!”
Unprepared, Chen Shisan was kicked inside, and the stunned Tianxuan and Qian Bao’er were also kicked in.
These three did not have high strength, so they couldn’t detect the “sneak attack” at first.
But the powerful Meng Yu barely noticed the “sneak attack” from behind.
Although she couldn’t completely evade it, she managed to stop herself right before the space crack.
“You…”
Just as she realized who had attacked her from behind, Meng Yu couldn’t even finish her sentence before a fist the size of a sandbag smashed into her face.
With incredible speed and unmatched strength.
With just a single punch, Meng Yu lost her ability to resist and fell into the crack.
Watching the unconscious Meng Yu in the fissure, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips.
“This little girl has some potential!”
“With just a casual kick from me, she nearly dodged it; interesting.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew into the crack.
Once Chen Changsheng entered, the gaping rift in space quickly closed.
…
An unknown Small Realm.
“Whoosh~”
Six meteor-like lights, trailing flames, rapidly plummeted from the sky.
Among them, two meteors were relatively close to each other, while the other four totally scattered to the corners of the Small Realm.
“Bang!”
Chen Shisan crashed into the soft ground, creating a large pit.
Although the True Martial Sword had done its best to slow down Chen Shisan’s falling speed, Chen Changsheng’s “kick” was not something that could be easily neutralized.
The tremendous impact caused Chen Shisan, who was already injured, to lose consciousness.
“Whoosh~”
Sensing that its master was unconscious, the True Martial Sword began to automatically hover around, ensuring Chen Shisan’s safety.
…
“Crash!”
“Chirp~ Chirp~”
Uncertain of how much time had passed, the biting cold made Chen Shisan shiver slightly, and the faint sounds of rain along with the noisy “mouse sounds” caused him to slowly open his heavy eyelids.
Awakening from darkness, what greeted his eyes was only the gray sky and the familiar broken sword.
“Ah~”
The act of rising triggered his injuries, and intense pain made Chen Shisan groan.
Grasping the True Martial Sword that came to support him, Chen Shisan subconsciously asked, “Where is this?”
“Chirp Chirp!”
“Buzz!”
In response to Chen Shisan’s inquiry, both the Treasure Mouse and the True Martial Sword gave their answers.
Unfortunately, neither response was particularly useful.
Chen Shisan couldn’t understand the Treasure Mouse’s answer, and though he understood the True Martial Sword’s response, it was essentially meaningless.
Because the True Martial Sword’s answer was, “This is a strange place.”
Without bothering to care about the useless information from both, Chen Shisan struggled to move towards the distant woods.
He was injured, and quite severely at that.
The pressing matter at hand was to find shelter from the rain and heal his wounds.
