Chapter 241 Refusal to Trade
transaction?
Zhang Lingyu was all too familiar with this scene; Li Heihu had used the same rhetoric when he saw the situation turn around back then.
All demonic cultivators are the same. If Zhang Lingyu hadn't arrived, or if he had arrived but was still only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, do you think the cultivator surnamed Gu would have said any polite words to you?
I would have already drawn my knife and killed you.
"You attacked my Ling Mountain, killed my people, and even said you wanted to make a deal. If you really want to make a deal, then leave your head behind," Zhang Lingyu immediately mocked.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" The cultivator surnamed Gu was furious upon hearing this. He had been wandering the cultivation world of Chu Kingdom for many years, and his cultivation level was not acquired for nothing. How could he be insulted like this?
Although one of their brothers died unexpectedly, the advantage still lies with their side.
"All of you, get up here!"
The cultivator surnamed Gu's robes billowed open, and countless ghosts poured out from them. The ghosts lingered in the mist, but none dared to approach the man whose body was covered in lightning.
Simply put, thunder is the best counter to them.
"They're all useless!"
Seeing that the ghost dared not advance, he could only order his men to deal with the others, while shouting at the three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators nearby, "Second, third, and fifth, let's attack together! Four late-stage cultivators can't defeat one!"
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, remained silent for a moment, and then steeled themselves to proceed. They absolutely could not fight alone now, or they would suffer the same fate as the fourth brother.
"Don't even think about interfering with Fellow Daoist Zhang!"
Just as they were getting closer and closer to Zhang Lingyu, two beams of light shot out from inside the formation and blocked their way. The faces of the beams were those of Lin Qing and Chen Xiaomeng, a married couple.
Following closely behind were three early Foundation Establishment cultivators: Zhang Xinghao, Zhang Xingfeng, and Lin Yan.
Zhang Lingyu is indeed strong, but facing the combined attack of four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he faces a great risk of death, and they cannot simply stand by and watch.
Although the pressure is immense, once the cultivator surnamed Gu is dealt with, all crises can be easily resolved.
"Very well, since you've come here to die, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Seeing the group blocking their way, the three demonic cultivators practically clapped and cheered. They were still somewhat afraid of Zhang Lingyu, after all, anyone could become the one to die in their place.
But dealing with Lin Qing and his group is a different story.
Two late-game players with more than half their mana depleted were hardly a threat, and Zhang Xinghao and his two companions didn't even take them seriously.
So everyone started rubbing their hands together, already seeing the gruesome deaths of several people.
"Fellow Daoists, I will have this puppet assist you. It has good defensive capabilities, so just let it hold the front."
Of course, the group didn't act blindly. Lin Qing waved his hand and threw out three puppets. These puppets had been tested by Zhang Lingyu and could withstand several waves of attacks without any problem.
At the same time, three more beams of light entered the puppet, each containing a mid-grade spirit stone. He had reserved a few earlier to reduce the output of his mana at this moment.
With the spirit stones embedded, the three puppets immediately came to life, and without saying a word, they raised their hard fists and charged toward their respective targets.
"They even have puppets!?"
The three Foundation Establishment demon cultivators were taken aback, but quickly calmed down. So what if it was a puppet? What use could it be against them, late Foundation Establishment cultivators?
It can be dismantled into scrap metal in just a few moments.
So they either used spells or summoned magical artifacts to bombard the puppets. But when the smoke cleared, the three puppets still charged straight up, with only a few shallow wounds all over their bodies.
"What level of puppet is this?" The three were somewhat incredulous, but they were already close enough to reach it, so they had no choice but to give it their all.
......
The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sky fought even more fiercely, and the Qi Refining cultivators were not idle either. Due to Zhang Lingyu, those Qi Refining demonic cultivators were either injured or killed, and the situation had become a complete mess.
Zhang Yuanyao and the other two leading Qi Refining cultivators were also busy. In order to maintain the formation, their magical power was being consumed in great quantities, so they could not attack rashly.
So they simply hid inside the formation and started bombarding the outside world.
Without the support of the Foundation Establishment demon cultivators, the demon cultivators were unable to break the formation. Their only option now was to escape, but unfortunately, their retreat was completely blocked by the swarm of bees. They had to create an opening first.
After discussing the matter, the group of demonic cultivators decided to concentrate their efforts on attacking one part of the swarm. Sure enough, as they focused their attack, a large breach was finally created in the swarm.
The cultivators were overjoyed and rushed towards the gap without regard for the cost. However, the swarm of bees at the gap seemed to have received some kind of command and began to frantically fill it, shattering their hopes once again.
As for the insect controllers, they were naturally Wang Menghan and Zhang Yuanyao. Zhang Lingyu had no time to deal with them, but since they had obtained the insect control technique and the corresponding permission, they could naturally control it.
With the help of the bee swarm's interference, the Zhang family's cultivators continued to kill off the demon cultivators one by one.
The cultivator surnamed Gu, watching from afar as his resources were being eroded bit by bit, felt his heart bleed. However, he believed that the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator was nothing compared to his ability to escape and rebuild his forces.
"The premise is that I can escape."
Looking at his charred, smoking palm, his face turned ashen. The six flying swords behind Zhang Lingyu were all forged from top-tier lightning-attribute spiritual materials.
It was originally a high-grade Foundation Establishment artifact, and after so many years of nurturing, it is almost reaching the bottleneck of becoming a top-grade artifact.
If it weren't for his powerful physical body, he would have ended up like the fourth brother long ago.
As he pondered, six flying swords attacked again. A ruthless glint appeared in the demonic cultivator's eyes, and he threw out several talismans and magical artifacts without hesitation.
"burst!"
With a loud shout, he decisively detonated the magical artifacts. In the few rounds of combat just now, he could tell that his opponent relied heavily on these six flying swords. If they were damaged, he would definitely have to resort to other means, and might even have to face him head-on.
Perhaps the flying sword is his natal magic weapon; if it is damaged in one move, his strength will be greatly reduced.
He wasn't bothered at all by the magical artifacts that exploded. Having roamed the Chu Kingdom for so many years, he had plenty of weapons at his disposal.
They don't care about these dishes at all.
As expected, when Zhang Lingyu saw how decisive the other party was, he immediately stopped his flying sword and turned back. However, due to the extraordinary nature of the magic weapon, it still affected him in the end.
He groaned, clearly affected, but fortunately his divine sense was strong enough to control the flying sword to return in time. Looking at the dim lightning on the sword, his face was extremely ugly.
"I underestimated the ruthlessness of these demonic cultivators."
The flying sword is damaged and should not be used again, otherwise he will surely use the same trick again, perhaps even more violently than before. But is this the only method he has?
Seeing that his scheme had succeeded, the opposing cultivator surnamed Gu immediately pressed his advantage. Without the threat of thunder, the ghosts that had been hiding under his robes sprang out again, baring their fangs and claws as they tore at him.
Unexpectedly, the opponent also pulled out a small white bone banner, from which emerged a number of ghosts that were no fewer in number and equally powerful.
As for Zhang Lingyu himself, he slightly opened his mouth and spat out a sea of fire, which swept towards the opponent.
