"Fat Maitreya, what brings you here?" Bamboo Emperor coldly demanded of the slightly rouge-scented man, his face showing wariness. Bamboo Emperor was as thin as a bamboo pole, his voice slightly shrill and hoarse, giving off an unsettling feeling, but when he released the aura of a great master, he seemed like a towering giant. Why had Bamboo Emperor come here? He had actually set his sights on the two juniors, Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan. This story begins in the Southwest City.
Originally, Bamboo Emperor was cultivating in a quiet place when he unexpectedly received a message from his disciple, "Black Dragon." He suspected that someone had discovered a crystal mine outside. In the past, Bamboo Emperor could simply send his disciples to investigate, but times had changed. The number of crystals Bamboo Emperor needed for cultivation was now enormous! Without sufficient crystals, even for a great master like him, advancing one level would be extremely difficult.
So he was somewhat tempted by this news.
At the same time, the Bamboo Emperor's cultivation had come to a temporary halt. His improvement was minimal, so he agreed to the matter, left his cave, and later, based on information provided by the Black Dragon, made his way to the eastern coast, where he surprisingly found traces of Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan. Even Zhang Guodong hadn't detected the Bamboo Emperor's presence.
Unfortunately, he ran into Fat Maitreya. This great master, whose cultivation level was similar to his, was at level 52 of the Bamboo Emperor realm, while Fat Maitreya was at level 53.
Why such a coincidence?
Bamboo Emperor simply didn't believe that Fat Maitreya had just happened to run into him. Otherwise, what would he have meant by saying that earlier? The two had been enemies since their days in the Plant Cultivation Realm, and now it seemed there was no way for them to settle things amicably.
But no matter what, we can't let Fat Maitreya know the secret of those two little guys who travel through the sea.
"What is it? Haha, whatever you do here, that's what I do here too! Old Bamboo Emperor. You, a level fifty-something expert, are actually following two little brats? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by those old guys if word gets out? Perhaps those two little brats are hiding some secret?" Fatty Chengle sneered. Then he glanced meaningfully at the sea, his expression malicious.
"You fat Maitreya always have a problem with me. Today, let's stick to the old method and see who's the best." Bamboo Emperor chuckled sinisterly, and with a flick of his wrist, a flash of green light appeared.
"Good, hahaha!" Although Fat Maitreya was a level higher than Bamboo Emperor, Bamboo Emperor's combat experience was no less than his. If he couldn't win, he could run away, but the two had fought many times, and each time the battle ended in a draw. In the end, Bamboo Emperor would get impatient and stop fighting first, no longer wanting to entangle with him.
That green light was none other than the Bamboo Emperor's most prized magical artifact, the "Azure Leaf Flute," a masterpiece among high-grade magical artifacts. The Fat Maitreya was also wary of it. However, he also possessed a high-grade magical artifact: a string of twenty-four "Sea Soul Pearls." Each pearl was comparable to a mid-grade magical artifact, but together, the twenty-four pearls formed a superior high-grade magical artifact.
"Heh!" Bamboo Emperor uttered a low shout, then turned and headed towards the sea.
"What!"
They fled without a fight?
The fat Maitreya's fleshy mound froze, momentarily stunned. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome. A master of such caliber, bluffing and fleeing without a fight? It would be incredibly shameful if others saw this.
"You shameless old man, Bamboo Emperor!" Fat Maitreya cursed angrily. Without another word, he followed.
Bamboo Emperor, skilled in psychological warfare, had no interest in engaging in a prolonged battle with Fat Maitreya. His attention was focused on Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan. For ordinary plant cultivators, once the distance between them increased by one or two miles, tracking them would be extremely difficult. However, for great masters, whose strength had improved to a different level, they could detect the two even as they traversed dozens of meters below the surface of the sea.
Of course, the range of this detection is also limited. If the distance at the bottom of the sea were several miles, even the great masters Bamboo Emperor and Fat Maitreya would be helpless.
"That old Bamboo Emperor must have some kind of scheme. Are those two little ones so important to him? It would be a huge loss not to get involved!" Fat Maitreya made up his mind not to let that Bamboo Emperor get away with it. He had completely developed suspicions about the Emperor. "I won't let your conspiracy succeed."
The two experts chased after Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan one after the other, flying through the air at a speed comparable to a flying magic weapon.
Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan were also unlucky. The message from Black Dragon described the two of them. As for Zhang Guodong, Black Dragon and his team were unaware that there was another person following behind him and didn't mention him.
Therefore, the Bamboo Emperor paid no attention to Zhang Yindong, whose aura had vanished, and let him go. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Yindong would have been doomed in this situation.
"Senior brother, who is that person? How could he hurt us on the sea!" Liu Zhengyuan breathed a sigh of relief only after the two of them had escaped for several miles and saw that no one was chasing them. His face was a little pale, and he said with lingering fear.
The direction they fled was simply along the sea cliffs for several miles, without venturing into the deep sea.
"Junior brother, we have to keep running. It's too dangerous here! I suspect this person is a top-tier expert, otherwise how could he generate such power?" Liao Tian said, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Big Brother's hand?!" Liu Zhengyuan exclaimed in surprise.
However, he knew that Liao Tian had witnessed the power of great masters. It was said to be earth-shattering. He himself had never seen such a thing. But the man just now had used some kind of technique, which was indeed incredibly powerful. If it had struck them directly, they would have been pulverized and would have been certain death.
"That's right!" Liao Tian said, catching his breath, his eyes wide with surprise. "Only a master could unleash such destructive power from a distance!"
Just now, many fish around me died, and the stench of blood was so strong that it filled the seawater.
They were literally shaken to death!
"You can't escape. Stay here obediently, and maybe I'll spare your lives! Come out here." Just then, a soft but clear voice reached their ears.
It's the Bamboo King!
He flew above the two of them with lightning speed. Without pausing for a moment, two incredibly thick demonic vines shot out from his body and instantly plunged into the seawater. The demonic vines were over a meter thick, like giant pythons a hundred meters long. Once released, their power was extremely imposing, as if each vine was a living demonic beast, roaring.
"Not good!" Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan were immediately subjected to immense pressure, and their speed was reduced by half. They saw two hundred-meter-long demonic vines roar down from the sea surface, several times faster than the two of them, and they wrapped them up and lifted them away from the seabed.
The two were completely powerless to resist!
"No fire".
"Scorpion".
Unable to break free, Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan immediately activated their storage bags, each releasing powerful offensive magical artifacts: a crimson, flameless artifact and a row of fine, needle-like, dark green ones. Both were top-tier mid-grade magical artifacts!
A top-tier intermediate-grade magic artifact can injure even a great expert, especially if it self-destructs, completely breaking free from the demonic vine's restraints. However, whether it can escape after breaking free is another matter entirely.
"If you two do not resist, I will spare your lives; if you resist, you will die!" the Bamboo Emperor roared. Only Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan could hear this voice; the Fat Maitreya could not.
The Bamboo Emperor was also at a loss. He wanted to capture Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan alive and interrogate them to uncover those secrets. However, the troublesome Fat Maitreya was watching closely behind them, and he couldn't afford to waste a single second.
The Emperor scooped up the two and released his flying artifact, intending to leave. But then the fat Maitreya burst into laughter.
"Old Bamboo Emperor, if word gets out that you and the two of you escaped in front of me, I will lose all face! No one is leaving, stay here!"
Fat Maitreya used the advanced magic weapon formed from his twenty-four Sea Soul Pearls.
He wanted to harm those two demonic vines.
But who was Bamboo Emperor? Although his cultivation was one level lower than Fat Maitreya's, his magical artifacts were superior. Even with two other people with him, he dared not show weakness.
"The Jade Leaf Flute raised a green light, colliding with the fat Maitreya's twenty-fourth-grade Sea Soul Pearl."
rise.
"Haha, you old Bamboo Emperor, you've been tricked!"
"No! How dare you!" Bamboo Emperor's expression changed drastically.
Fat Maitreya's attack wasn't aimed at harming the demon vine; it was directly designed to kill Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan, the two targets of the Bamboo Emperor. The "Twenty-Fourth Grade Sea Soul Pearl" was deflected by the green light, but the green light also dissipated. However, the sea soul ghost light it separated shot towards Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan.
The movement was so swift that the Bamboo King had no time to save the two. Two hundred-meter-long demonic vines, like giant pythons, swayed, generating intense heat in the air. They were trying to dodge the attack from the fat Maitreya.
But when masters clash, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.
"Senior brother, what should we do? This is bad!" Liu Zhengyuan asked anxiously. Liao Tian was hesitating whether to listen to Zhu Huang, but it was too late. The immense pressure of the attack robbed them of their best chance to escape, and they were instantly struck.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion shattered the sea's normal surface, sending towering waves tens of meters high crashing against the sea rocks and surging into the depths. This was the epicenter.
Countless drops of blood rained down from the sky, and Liao Tian and Liu Zhengyuan died instantly without any resistance.
The Bamboo Emperor's demonic vines were blasted into hundreds, even thousands, of pieces, demonstrating the ferocity of the attack. However, to think that merely injuring two of the Bamboo Emperor's demonic vines would seriously harm him is a grave mistake. For a master of such a level, injuring or even severing a few demonic vines would have virtually no impact on their main body.
"Fat Maitreya, I swear I will never forgive you!" The Bamboo Emperor's heart shattered at the sight. Beside him, the two had been killed. They were reduced to countless pieces of flesh and blood; they were utterly dead.
He unleashed the "Green Leaf Soaring" bamboo emperor and struck at the fat Maitreya.
But Fat Maitreya didn't fight the Bamboo Emperor to the death. He laughed loudly, and his pile of flesh moved with lightning speed, barely dodging the attack.
However, their attempt to avoid it was somewhat awkward.
"Old Bamboo Emperor, I'm not playing with you anymore. See you next time!"
After speaking, the fat Maitreya took out a palanquin-shaped flying artifact. It was the famous "Eight Winds Palanquin." It was famous because the palanquin was so luxurious that it had been crafted into such a form. "Eight Winds Palanquin. It grows larger when facing the wind," the fat man rushed in, and the palanquin-shaped flying artifact instantly disappeared into the horizon.
"Don't go!"
Bamboo King was enraged by Fat Maitreya, and only a fight could quell his anger. The meat he was about to eat had been ruined by this pile of fat!
One after the other, the two masters disappeared into the sea near the fishing village.
"Splash!" After the two left, Zhang Guodong emerged from the sea, looking in the direction they had disappeared. He was panting heavily. He was truly shocked this time; a level 30 or 40 plant cultivator was utterly powerless against a great expert.
Just how much higher is the threshold for level 50 compared to the others?
