Chapter update reminder: Chapter 147, Cunning Ghost Shadow, available to read here.
"Fellow Daoist Stone Butterfly, as I said, I don't want any other treasures..."
Mu Xuzi hadn't finished speaking.
"That's a matter for other treasures!"
Shi Die interrupted him directly.
"According to the previous agreement, I contributed to breaking the formation, so I should get an extra share."
Since this elixir of immortality is one of the treasures, the extra portion I took should rightfully come from here.
If you take it all, where will I get the extra portion?
Upon hearing Shi Die's words, Mu Xuzi's expression stiffened.
"Brother Mu, this matter is indeed a bit unreasonable."
We agreed beforehand to split it equally based on value, but now you're suddenly trying to take it all...
Old Hu scratched his head, looking troubled.
"As I said, I won't take a single penny of the other treasures! Aren't those magic weapons and demon cores priceless?"
"Isn't it enough for you to divide it equally?"
Mu Xuzi's voice rose a few decibels, and the redness in his eyes intensified.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, you're mistaken. The Longevity Pill is also a treasure, and in terms of value, it's only higher, not lower."
You took three bottles of longevity pills, which is almost half of that pile of stuff. You take half for yourself, and then we have to divide the rest among so many of us?
Jin Qing said in a deep voice, his face already very ugly.
"My lifespan is running out! You all have plenty of lifespan to squander, but I don't! I just want to live a few more years, what's wrong with that?"
Mu Xuzi's eyes reddened, and he looked agitated.
Clearly, he had lost his mind, and the words and emotions of Jin Qing and the others began to become paranoid and extreme.
"Huh? Why are they arguing?"
The three of them, Qingfeng and his companions, who were still lingering in the distance, also saw what was happening over there.
"Let's stop for a moment."
Qingfeng stopped and raised his hand to stop Ling Yuling.
The argument between Jin Qing and the others gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Sniff, what's that smell?"
Han Li sniffed the air; he smelled a medicinal fragrance.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the courtyard suddenly became tense.
Mu Xuzi's eyes were bloodshot, and his spiritual power surged wildly throughout his body.
"I just want to live a few more years, what's wrong with that!"
He roared, flipped his right hand, and a beam of emerald light shot out from the storage bag.
It was a flywheel the size of a palm, entirely emerald green, with sharp barbs covering its edges.
"Young Shi Die, you've repeatedly pushed your luck by relying on your background. Don't think you can intimidate me!"
Mu Xuzi roared and flicked his wrist, sending the emerald green flying wheel crashing down on Shi Die with a sharp whooshing sound!
The flywheel left a foul stench in its wake, and the barbs on the wheel were coated with a deadly poison.
This Mu Xuzi appears to be practicing wood-attribute techniques, but he actually practices poison techniques!
"Young Island Master, be careful!"
Old Jian's expression changed drastically, and he flashed forward to block Shi Die's path.
He summoned a dark, three-pronged fork and instantly rammed it into the emerald green flying wheel.
"boom!"
The two magical artifacts collided with a deafening roar.
As the spiritual energy surged, Old Jian let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
He was only at the early stage of Core Formation, and his magical power was far inferior to that of Mu Xuzi. Now, in this head-on collision, his internal organs were trembling.
"puff--"
Old Jian spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily onto a pile of animal bones several feet away, scattering the bones everywhere.
"Old Jian!"
Shi Die cried out in surprise, her face turning pale.
"Mu Xuzi, you've gone mad!"
Jin Qing roared angrily, his eyes wide open.
He never expected that Mu Xuzi would suddenly attack him.
Seeing that Mu Xuzi had defeated Lao Jian, the emerald green flying wheel changed direction again and smashed towards the stone butterfly once more. Jin Qing dared not be negligent.
If Master Shi's daughter were to have an accident here, he would bear a heavy responsibility.
"drink!"
Jin Qing shouted, and a palm-sized lion-shaped jade seal flew out from his sleeve. Instantly, it grew to two or three zhang in size, blocking Shi Die's path.
At the same time, Lao Hu also made a move.
"Please turn around, baby!"
He made a hand seal, and two crystal-clear throwing knives shot towards Mu Xuzi.
The throwing knife was as thin as a cicada's wing, its blade shimmering with blue light, and it moved with incredible speed, arriving before Mu Xuzi in the blink of an eye.
"Get out of here!"
Mu Xuzi raised his left hand, and an earthen-yellow shield flew out from his sleeve, blocking the throwing knife.
The throwing knife struck the shield with a crisp sound, but it couldn't penetrate the layer of earthen-yellow light shield.
The difference in cultivation level was particularly evident at this moment.
"Mu Xuzi, don't make a mistake!"
Jin Qing manipulated the lion-shaped jade seal to entangle the emerald green flywheel, preventing it from moving forward even an inch.
"Self-inflicted harm? Hahaha, you're such a hypocrite! Don't think I don't know you're in cahoots!"
I am determined to obtain this elixir of immortality today!
"Whoever stands in my way, I will kill!"
Mu Xuzi roared madly.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, two figures suddenly sprang up from the side without warning.
It was the Gu brothers who had remained silent all along!
One blade was black, the other white; the two slashed at Mu Xuzi in a crisscrossing motion.
"you--"
Mu Xuzi's pupils shrank suddenly.
His emerald green flying wheel was tightly entangled by the golden-blue lion jade seal, while his earthen yellow shield was also blocking Lao Hu's flying knives.
At this moment, only a layer of protective spiritual light remained on his body.
"Pfft—"
The protective aura was broken, the black blade pierced Mu Xuzi's left rib, and the white blade pierced Mu Xuzi's right abdomen.
Two long swords pierced through his body almost simultaneously!
"Well……"
Mu Xuzi looked down at the two long swords that had pierced his body, and his eyes regained their clarity.
All of this happened too fast.
From the moment the Gu brothers suddenly attacked to the moment the two swords pierced his body, it was only a breath's time.
Upon seeing this, Han Li, who was following behind Qing Feng, subconsciously took a half step back, a sense of alarm rising in his heart.
Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!
This dispute came too suddenly, and this turn of events was too bizarre.
Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, made a hand seal, and activated the Zhenhai Demon Refining Tower.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
"boom--"
In the center of the courtyard, a monstrous aura of yin energy suddenly erupted from the yin pool, instantly engulfing the entire courtyard!
Wherever the black mist passed, visibility was completely blocked, and even divine sense was greatly interfered with, only able to barely perceive the movements within a range of about ten feet.
Enveloped in black mist, Mu Xuzi's body convulsed, his eyes wide open.
He wasn't dead yet and wanted to take out some medicine to heal his wounds.
However, at that moment, a strange shadow appeared silently behind him.
"Pfft—"
A dull thud.
Mu Xuzi's body suddenly stiffened.
He looked down and saw a pale, bony hand piercing through his chest from behind.
The hand bone formed five fingers into a claw, and with unparalleled precision, it grasped the golden core within his dantian.
"Heh...heh..."
Mu Xuzi opened his mouth wide, wanting to scream, but no sound came out.
The bony hand suddenly retracted, and the golden core was forcibly extracted.
Thump! The body fell to the ground.
The shadow then revealed itself within the black mist.
It was a skeleton, deathly pale and emitting a faint green glow.
It stood beside Mu Xuzi's corpse, its right hand holding the still slightly pulsating golden elixir, and two ghostly green flames flickering in its empty eye sockets.
"Hehehe..."
The skeleton opened its jaw and emitted a hoarse, piercing laugh, a sound that seemed to come from hell and sent chills down one's spine.
"I've waited all these years... Finally... Finally, I've seen a living person again!"
