Chapter 149 The Beginning of the Battle
"Lord Niu?"
Zhao Jinhua looked at the newcomer, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he seemed to realize something and smiled: "Since Lord Niu has discovered me, then I will no longer hide it. That's right, I have now joined the Demonic Sect."
As he spoke, Zhao Jinhua cupped his hands in greeting to Daoist Qianshu.
"As the saying goes, once you have the thought of joining the demon, you will suddenly feel that the world is vast. Fellow Daoist Qian Shu, why hang yourself on this old Taoist priest? If you follow him, you will never be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. You might as well join Lord Mu Shan and you will have a chance."
"Niu Gao's hut is nothing but a pile of bones in a tomb, while Lord Mu will eventually reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and even become a Grand True Person in the late Foundation Establishment stage, a Golden Core True Monarch."
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot will only lead to destruction. By following the right person, like Lord Mu Shan, a dragon among men, even if we only eat the leftovers he bestows, achieving Foundation Establishment is just a matter of a few simple movements."
"Fellow Daoist Qian Shu, we have known each other for a long time, I hope you will behave yourself!"
"Zhao Jinhua, you spineless heretic."
The Taoist priest Qian Shu had a stern face, and upon hearing Zhao Jinhua's words, he gave a cold smile.
"In Yunxia City, you used to mingle with those lower cultivators, indulging in debauchery day and night, even capturing virgin mortals to eat and enjoy. Even I, who consider myself a cold and ruthless cultivator, feel a chill upon hearing this."
"If it weren't for the sect rules that prevented us from taking action against you, how could you have survived to this day? Not to mention that you've been capturing rogue cultivators everywhere, using the name of the Pill Department to refine pills for them, while in reality supplying them for your cultivation of evil and heretical paths."
Qian Shu Daoist's fist energy was solidified, and he was not swayed by Zhao Jinhua in the slightest. On the contrary, the murderous aura in his eyes grew even stronger.
"You still dare to try and seduce me? Even if I were to surrender to the Demonic Sect, Mu Shan may have a thousand or ten thousand abilities, but given that I have no kinship with him, why would he help me break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"You've become a traitor, and that's the best you can do! Today is your death day. I'll see who can protect you!"
Qian Shu Daoist was filled with murderous intent. In an instant, he clenched his fists, flexing his muscles, and charged towards Jin Hua Daoist.
In that moment, he couldn't even spare a thought for the long-pursued Ku'e Toutuo and Da Chidaoren.
This shows how deep Qian Shu Dao Ren's hatred for Jin Hua Dao Ren was.
"Stop pretending to be all high and mighty!"
Jin Hua Dao Ren cursed under his breath.
"As a dignified cultivator, you have no conflict with me regarding the path of cultivation, yet you resort to hypocrisy and false righteousness as a pretext to denounce me!"
"Have you not heard that Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs? Qian Shu, you fool, you are truly hypocritical and despicable!"
"Very well, since you, Qian Shu, have brought this upon yourself, then I, Zhao, will destroy you today. It will also be a good opportunity to see who is truly the number one Golden Path cultivator in these two kingdoms!"
Although Jin Hua Dao Ren was confident of victory and believed that Niu Gao was no match for Mu Shan, he still quickly calmed his mind and swung his sword to meet the attack.
Both of them practiced metal-based techniques, which were extremely sharp and powerful. As a result, in just a short while, golden waves of magical energy burst forth in the sky, emitting bursts of booming sounds.
"Go ahead and fight!"
The two were locked in a fierce battle, but the monk Ku'e and the Daoist Da Chi were secretly delighted.
"You bastards, you'd better throw your dog baskets out! Ku'e, now is the perfect opportunity! Let's escape now! We don't want this hateful secret realm, this hateful opportunity. Survival is the only right thing to do!"
"good!"
Ku'e Toutuo strongly agreed.
"We are just independent cultivators. If this old Taoist priest hadn't gone mad and tried to attack us, we would still be happily collecting spiritual items. Now that we know we are no match for them, we should throw away this damn jade talisman and focus on collecting the resources in this secret realm."
"As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood—I've finally come to understand!"
As they spoke, the two were about to throw away the jade talisman in their hands and flee.
However, Mu Shan would not allow them to leave.
A sword intent instantly locked onto them, and Da Chi and Ku E froze as a cold voice transmitted through them.
"Why are you two in such a hurry to leave? Niu Gao has been chasing you for a long time; it's time for us to kill him together. I've only just arrived, and you're already leaving? Are you trying to disrespect me?"
Da Chi and Ku E exchanged a tearful glance. Ever since they made their escape plan, Mu Shan had locked onto their auras. Judging from his posture, if they dared to escape again, they would be killed on the spot by Mu Shan.
Even Niu Gao wouldn't save them.
Therefore, the two quickly smiled obsequiously and, their bodies behaving insincerely, approached Mu Shan, saying ingratiatingly:
"Lord Mu, we have admired you for a long time, and now that we have finally met you in person, you must kill this old Taoist priest and avenge us!"
"I am naturally aware of this matter."
Mu Shan said coldly, looking at Niu Gao in the distance.
Since entering this array-based secret realm, in less than a day, these half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators have already gathered here.
Before Niu Gao arrived, Mu Shan was confident that he could easily kill the remaining half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators, not to mention that he also had the help of Daoist Jinhua.
Therefore, Mu Shan was not in a hurry.
Even if he encountered Da Chi and Ku E first, he would make the same decision as Niu Gao: to kill the two of them.
However, with Niu Gao's arrival, the situation on the field has suddenly become unpredictable.
Niu Gao, along with Daoist Qian Shu, Bai Tianxiong, Luan Mo, and Huang Lou, already comprised four individuals at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
And even including Jin Hua Dao Ren, there are only two of them.
Now, the only option is to stop Da Chi and Ku E, spare their lives, and maintain a balance of power between the two sides.
Whatever schemes lie behind the secret realm, it's time to fight Niu Gao first!
