"boom!"
A deafening roar resounded, and blazing flames shot into the sky.
Bai Cang manifested his figure from the edge of the dense forest hundreds of feet away. Thunder and fire intertwined in the valley, and a mushroom cloud filled with smoke and dust rose up.
Within a radius of a hundred feet, everything was reduced to scorched earth!
"Bing Fire Divine Thunder? What a ruthless Taoist, what a vicious Wolf Exterminator!"
Bai Cang looked at everything with lingering fear, "I really encountered a ghost, how come all the people I met when I went out were wolves?"
Bai Cang once saw a warning in the "Cultivation Manual" that said some cultivators who had endured many tribulations would plant various methods in their bodies to avoid losing their life's wealth to their enemies if they were to fail and die. The most common of these methods was various divine lightning bolts, which were activated by their own life force.
Once one's life force dissipates, the divine lightning buried within the body will be activated.
If someone kills someone and then rushes to "loot the corpse," they will be taken down in one fell swoop, resulting in mutual destruction.
Therefore, after Bai Cang had been lying in wait for a long time and launched a righteous sneak attack, killing the "senior brother" with a single sword strike, he immediately summoned the Hundred Poisons Cold Light Barrier, turning him into a pool of blood, in order to check whether there were any corresponding arrangements inside his body.
Who knew that just as "Senior Brother" cleared the mines, Black Tiger Taoist's side was "exploded"!
Fortunately, his awakened "Five Elements Escape Technique" was unparalleled in its ability to escape, and he was also extremely vigilant. As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he decisively retreated and fled, without coveting the "spoils of war" left behind by his "senior brother".
Otherwise, even if Bai Cang doesn't die from this attack, he'll be badly injured!
Judging from this earth-shattering momentum, Black Tiger Taoist must have planted at least a hundred "Bing Fire Divine Thunders" within his body.
"Aren't you afraid of accidentally blowing yourself up in the process?!"
Bai Cang cursed and swore, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe, "My spoils of war!"
My money, all my money, it's all gone now!
However, this also served as a reminder to Bai Cang: never underestimate anyone, and only by being careful and cautious can one ensure a safe journey!
Neither "Senior Brother" nor Black Tiger Taoist are easy to deal with; they are not simple characters.
Needless to say, Black Tiger Taoist is incredibly powerful and vicious. He even went so far as to personally destroy himself, turning his own body into dust and shattering it into pieces.
The "eldest brother's" methods were somewhat clumsy, and he was still quite naive in the path of tribulation cultivation, but his strength was formidable, and his lightning techniques were simply terrifying.
With just two bolts of heavenly lightning, the formidable Black Tiger Taoist was instantly reduced to charred remains.
If it weren't for Black Tiger Daoist's arrogance and self-proclaimed strength, he wouldn't have dared to attack the hiding place of "Senior Brother" and the others without any scruples after being subtly manipulated by Bai Cang.
The "eldest brother" also suffered from his lack of experience. He thought he had the upper hand, but in reality, he left many flaws, giving Bai Cang an opportunity to take advantage of him.
If they were to fight head-on, even with Bai Cang's many trump cards, it would likely be a fierce and bitter battle.
Even if he summoned Xiao Nie to possess him and used his pseudo-Dao Foundation strength to bully the weak, he probably couldn't guarantee that he would be completely unharmed.
"We must learn from past mistakes and take heed!"
Thinking this way, Bai Cang suddenly felt less heartbroken about "losing his spoils of war".
Just consider it a lesson learned! What's more, it's someone else's money and life that you're using to buy yourself a valuable lesson. Even if it's a "child" who's "explaining," this is still a "forced loss."
"The cultivation manual truly lives up to its reputation!"
Bai Cang silently summarized the valuable experience of this battle: "Using others to kill, using one tiger to devour another, and waiting for the oriole behind are always the highest priority tactics. The next best are stealth and sneak attacks."
"If I hadn't been so greedy and tried to poison both sides beforehand, preventing 'Senior Brother' from killing Black Tiger Taoist and instead incapacitating them to control the situation, then remotely eliminating a few and stealing the spoils, I might have been able to salvage some of the losses..."
"No, we can't think like that. We should be willing to lose some money to ensure our absolute safety. People like Black Tiger Taoist are rare, but there are countless cases of people who fail at the last minute, are ambushed and taken away, or are destroyed along with their loved ones..."
Just then, Fang Baoliu suddenly emerged from the dense forest behind them, "Junior Brother Bai, this... you did this?"
Fang Baoliu looked at the scene before her, her eyes filled with shock and horror: This is too terrifying!
Just who is this extraordinary talent, Junior Brother Bai Cang?
Although there was a dense forest between them, and she dared not approach, how could Fang Baoliu not have noticed the commotion caused by the Black Tiger Taoist and the "Senior Brother" fighting?
Leaving aside the ferocity of the thunder magic, at least two auras with over a hundred apertures appeared in her senses.
How long has it been? How have these people already vanished into thin air?
Looking at Bai Cang again, he was spotless from head to toe, not even a wrinkle on his clothes.
Just how strong is this kid to be able to do something so effortlessly!
Especially when Fang Baoliu saw the valley covered in scorched earth, he was breathless and could not believe his eyes.
Is this something a Qi Refining cultivator could do?
You're fucking telling me this is a Qi Refining cultivator?
"Senior sister, don't overthink it. I have never been fond of fighting; my only interest is in resolving conflicts."
"While others were fighting and dying together, I was just watching the show."
As Bai Cang spoke, his figure flickered and he appeared in the scorched earth of the valley.
In just a few breaths, he had already explored the "battlefield" with effortless ease.
They not only collected the many broken items, but also erased all traces that the two might have left behind.
Watching Bai Cang's smooth and effortless "technique," and his almost instinctive skill, one could see the effortless mastery of his technique.
Fang Baoliu suddenly realized what was happening, but couldn't help but think to herself, "You have the nerve to call yourself a bystander watching the show? Your cleanup skills are way too good!"
All I can say is: No wonder he comes from the Han Clan!
It makes you exclaim in amazement: Wow, that's what you call professional!
But just as Fang Baoliu hurried to catch up, Bai Cang vanished again in a flash.
Only faint sounds came from all directions.
"Senior sister, you can confidently forge ahead on the road ahead. I will protect you from the shadows!"
After much deliberation, Bai Cang realized that acting with Fang Baoliu would not only make him too conspicuous, but also make him too easily dragged down by this novice.
If an emergency occurs, there won't even be a chance to launch a sneak attack.
Fortunately, his cultivation has deepened, and he can maintain the "Five Ghosts Escape Form" for a long time without any problem. Even when he uses the "Five Elements Escape Technique," he can sustain it for quite a while.
So Bai Cang simply concealed his presence and followed Fang Baoliu from a distance.
If someone were to attack Fang Baoliu, he could calmly launch a "righteous sneak attack" to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.
As for Fang Baoliu's safety?
Hey, you can't catch a wolf without baiting it; you have to bait the spot before you can fish.
How can you catch a big fish if you're unwilling to use the bait?
He believed in "Senior Sister Fang's" abilities and was confident that she could take good care of him.
In the unlikely event that Fang Baoliu were to die, someone would still need to avenge her and collect her body, wouldn't they?
Seeing this, Fang Baoliu was utterly bewildered: Is this how you protect me?
But no matter how she called out or asked for help, Bai Cang seemed to have disappeared, offering no response whatsoever.
After a long while, Fang Baoliu gritted her teeth and stomped her foot in resentment, then walked forward alone as if facing death.
The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return!
