Chapter 2165
byThese four people were obviously also active nearby and were by the vision of the birth of the Supreme Wonderful Lotus.
One of them was a big figure with a solemn expression that exuded an intimidating aura even without getting angry. He clearly had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Dao Source Realm. The other was a short-haired youth with a pair of shifty eyes, as if constantly plotting something. His cultivation base was neither high nor low, only at the Second-Order Dao Source Realm. The remaining man and woman seemed to be companions. The woman was petite and delicate, and the man was suave and debonair. The two had an affectionate expression, and it was obvious at a glance that they were fellow disciples from the same sect and had a very good relationship. The cultivation bases of these two were also at the Second-Order Dao Source Realm.
At this moment, all four of them had their eyes filled with a strange and surprised light, staring intently at the Supreme Wonderful Lotus, and the greedy expression kept circulating in their eyes.
Seeing this situation, Yang Kai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Although he had already been mentally prepared and knew that the celestial phenomenon triggered by the birth of the Supreme Wonderful Lotus would definitely attract many martial artists, he didn’t expect that someone would come so quickly.
And as soon as they came, there were four of them…
It seemed that the number of martial artists active on this plain was still quite a few, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to arrive here so quickly.
“Brother He… What kind of spiritual herb is this？” After observing for a while, the woman dressed as a young wife asked the man beside her in a soft voice. Because she simply didn’t recognize the variety of the spiritual herb in front of her, and only knew that this was an extraordinary thing.
That Brother He shook his head slowly upon hearing this and said, “I don’t know either.”
As he spoke, he also licked his dry lips, looking eager to move. However, between the flickering of his eyes, there was a great deal of fear in the burly man. After all the other party’s cultivation level was the highest here. If one wanted to seize the spiritual herb, the other party would be the biggest enemy.
“Brother Cheng Tai, do you recognize what this spiritual herb is?” Just at this moment, the flat-headed youth suddenly asked the burly man, as if the two had known each other for a long time.
“I don’t know.” The man called Cheng Tai replied in a deep, muffled voice, glaring at the flat-headed youth and saying, “Brother Bao, you don’t recognize it either？”
Bao Peng smiled and said, “Even something that Brother Cheng Tai doesn’t recognize. How could I recognize it？ You think too highly of me.”
“Hmph.” Cheng Tai snorted coldly and turned to look at the man and woman, asking loudly, “Do the two of you from the Streaming Shadow Sword Sect recognize it？”
That Brother He frowned upon hearing this and slowly shook his head. The young wife did the same.
Only then did Cheng Tai turn his gaze to Yang Kai and shouted, “That brat, you seem to be the first one to arrive here？ What exactly is this spiritual herb？ Tell me.”
“I… I don’t know.” Yang Kai looked at a loss and stammered, “I was just attracted by this strange phenomenon…”
“What a bunch of trash！” Before Yang Kai could finish speaking, Cheng Tai couldn’t help but curse, “You all rushed over even though you can’t even recognize a spiritual herb！”
His words scolded everyone.
Hearing this, Senior Brother He of the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect and the young woman both furrowed their brows, looking rather displeased, while Bao Peng seemed to know Cheng Tai’s temper well and didn’t take it to heart.
At this time, Cheng Tai said again, “No matter what this spiritual herb is, Cheng wants it. If you want to live, get out of here quickly, or don’t blame Cheng for being ruthless！”
Hearing this, Bao Peng raised his brows and said with a half-smile, “Brother Cheng, this… isn’t it good？”
“Do you have any opinions?” Cheng Tai looked at the young man with a cold face and snorted, “If you have opinions, say them boldly and bear the consequences yourself!
The latter quickly raised his hand, took a few steps back, and repeatedly said, “Brother Cheng misunderstood. If you want this thing, how dare I have any opinions？ But these two from the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect are probably not going to agree easily, right？ After all, natural spiritual herbs are for those who are destined…”
Upon hearing his words, that Senior Brother He nodded with a solemn expression and said, “That’s right. Heavenly and earthly spiritual treasures belong to those who are fated. If you want it, friend, it depends on whether you have the ability！”
Although Cheng Tai was a powerhouse at the third level of the Dao Source Realm, he and his junior sister were two people！ So they weren’t really afraid of the other party. Moreover, this kind of strange object was right in front of them, and he wouldn’t give in easily no matter what.
“You two want to test Cheng’s ability?” Cheng Tai grinned when he heard this and that smile was full of a ferocious flavor. He chuckled, “I’ve always heard that the Streaming Shadow Sword Art of the Streaming Shadow Sword Sect is elusive. I don’t know if it’s true or false… Today, there’s just such an opportunity. Let Cheng experience the two of you
As he spoke, the source energy surged on Cheng Tai’s body surface-. His already burly body suddenly expanded by a circle and a terrifying pressure suddenly spread out.
He then continued with what he just said, “You two must not disappoint Cheng！”
As he spoke to this point, he stomped his feet on the spot, and a crack appeared in the void. His entire person was like a meteor falling from the sky, carrying a terrifying momentum, and attacked the two people of the Streaming Shadow Sword Sect.
He actually directly took action！
“Be careful!” Senior Brother He let out a low shout. With a twist and a turn of his body, layers of phantoms were left in place, and he and the young woman had already flown out more than ten zhang.
Ceng ceng…
Two soft sounds rang out, bringing up two cold lights.
The long sword was unsheathed, exuding a cold murderous intent.
Brother He and the young woman each held a sword in one hand and formed a strange gesture with the other hand and the fierce sword qi suddenly burst out in all directions.
“There should be a limit to looking down on people!” Brother He shouted angrily. The other party suddenly attacked him with just a few words, which made Brother He furious. The murderous intent filled his eyes, and he said to the Junior sister, “don’t hold back when you make a move!”
“Don’t worry, junior sister will let him feel the power of the Flowing Shadow Sword Technique well. and the long sword suddenly danced out of Dao guanghua, slashing towards Cheng Tai.
At the same time, Brother He also displayed all his learned skills and joined hands with his junior sister, each move aiming to kill.
After all, Cheng Tai was also a strong person in the third level of the Dao Source Realm, and he was also calm in the face of danger. With his hands wide open and closed, he set off a frenzy of energy actually fighting against two people with one person and not falling behind at all.
In an instant, the three of them fought together and fought inextricably on that high mountain. The sword qi rushed around, and the energy was chaotic. In the battlefield, there was a scene of flying sand and rocks, which was very lively.
And the instigator of all this — Bao Peng — was standing still and watching, without the slightest intention of intervening. From time to time, he even showed a thoughtful expression, as if he had gained something from watching the battle.
“Ai…” Suddenly, Yang Kai let out a sigh and turned his head to look at a certain position, saying, “This spirit medicine doesn’t seem to be ripe yet. Collecting it rashly… isn’t very good, what if its medicinal properties are ruined…”
There was no one in the place where his gaze was directed.
The three people who were in the midst of a fierce battle were all shocked when they heard this. They all stopped their hands and retreated from the battle circle respectively, looking at Yang Kai in surprise and uncertainty.
And Cheng Tai, even more so, tightly furrowed his brows and glanced at Bao Peng who was standing not far away.
“I’ve already said that it can’t be collected rashly… Can’t you understand human language, friend？” Yang Kai let out another furious shout and threw a punch towards a certain position.
As the energy rushed, a figure ghostly emerged in the place where there was no one revealing an extremely shocked expression. The place where he was located was less than ten zhang away from the Taimiao Lotus. And judging from the furtive way he was approaching the spirit medicine, it seemed that he wanted to secretly pick this spirit medicine when no one else was paying attention.
“Bao Peng！” After seeing this person’s appearance clearly, Cheng Tai couldn’t help but let out a furious shout.
And at this moment, the other Bao Peng who had been standing still watching the battle suddenly turned into a stream of light and disappeared！
This was actually an extremely lifelike afterimage…
The real Bao Peng had long since some secret technique and sneaked away to somewhere else.
“You…” Bao Peng was revealed by Yang Kai’s attack and couldn’t help but be furious. He glared at Yang Kai viciously and said, “Little bastard, courting death！”
In his opinion, if it weren’t for Yang Kai’s interference, he would have already taken the spiritual medicine and fled long ago. But precisely because of Yang Kai’s existence, his plan fell through.
Under such frustration, he naturally flew into a rage！
“Sorry…” Yang Kai helplessly scratched his head. “If possible, I also don’t want to expose you, but your behavior… is simply unbearable, extremely despicable！”
He spat in disgust.
To others, it naturally had a different meaning, but what Yang Kai really meant was that doing so would destroy the Supreme Wonderful Lotus.
The Supreme Wonderful Lotus is still far from the day of maturity. How could Yang Kai allow it to be picked rashly？ His previous act of feigning stupidity and weakness was just to stall for time. But now it seems that this plan won’t work.
“That’s right！” Cheng Tai shouted angrily. “After a few years, you’re still so despicable, Bao Peng！ Although I’ve been extremely cautious, I still almost fell into your trap！”
Although he was fighting with the two people from the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect before, in fact, he didn’t use all his strength. Instead, he put part of his mind on Bao Peng. Only seeing that ‘he’ had been standing still without any abnormal movements did he feel at ease to fight.
Who would have thought that the Bao Peng standing there was just a phantom！
The two people from the Liuying Sword Sect also had rather unsightly expressions on their faces at this moment, but there was more curiosity. Because among the few people present, no one had discovered the tricks of Bao Pengdong, yet it was seen through by Yang Kai…
If it weren’t for the fact that they could clearly sense that Yang Kai’s cultivation was only at the First-Order Dao Source Realm, everyone would probably have thought that this was also an illusion.
“Brother Cheng, don’t be angry…” At this time, Bao Peng also quickly cast a flattering look at Cheng Tai and said with a forced smile, “Wasn’t it because I was discovered before I could succeed…”
“That’s because you have bad luck！” Cheng Tai snorted coldly and said, “If you had enough good luck, wouldn’t you have run away without a trace with the spiritual medicine by now？”
“It’s not a matter of luck…” Bao Peng stared deeply at Yang Kai with a cold expression and said, “What I just used was my Five Elements Sect’s secret technique – Golden Cicada Shedding Its Skin. Even a powerhouse one level higher would definitely not be able to see through the flaw. It has always been an excellent secret technique for saving one’s life and escaping…”
“So it’s the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell Secret Technique！” Cheng Tai let out a low cry. Evidently, he had also heard of the great reputation of this secret technique. With a complicated gaze, he said, “I never expected Sect Master Qin to be willing to pass on such a secret technique to you！”
“That’s not important.” Bao Peng still looked straight at Yang Kai, coldly saying, “Bao is just very curious. How could you, a mere Dao Source 1-layer piece of trash, see through my tracks？”
