Seeing Mo Tong's straight eyes, Zhang Xiang appeared calm on the surface, but sneered in his heart.
He had indeed not lied about the effectiveness of this medicine insect. He had originally intended to use this medicine insect to break the flames and true flames around the red-bearded dragon egg, but this medicine insect could only be used once.
After use, the insects will die.
He had no intention of using it to help Mo Tong snatch the dragon marrow of the red-bearded dragon.
As long as he gets the red-bearded dragon egg, he will leave immediately. As long as he hatches and cultivates the red-bearded dragon cub, he will have a great helper in no time.
Mo Tong didn't know what Zhang Xiang was thinking, and he had some doubts about other aspects, but as for the matter of the medicinal insects, he was more convinced of it.
Nodding, Mo Tong thought that he had reached an agreement with Zhang Xiang, so he raised his foot and was about to step forward.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiang's face changed suddenly. He raised his head and shouted, "Which Taoist friend is hiding in the dark? Get out now!"
Zhang Xiang's face was filled with murderous intent, completely different from his previous kind look.
Mo Tong's heart skipped a beat and he immediately turned around, scanning the area with his spiritual sense.
Soon a look of suspicion appeared on his face, as he did not find any other monks there.
"Oh no!" Mo Tong's expression suddenly changed drastically. He turned around abruptly, but before he could see the scene behind him clearly, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit him.
"Damn it, old man, why did you attack me? Didn't we just reach an agreement?" Mo Tong shouted, his cultivation rumbling, and he slapped his storage bag, taking out a magic weapon to fight the enemy.
Zhang Xiang said coldly: "Only the dead can keep their mouths shut forever. You are not trustworthy!"
Mo Tong's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation. Although he was only a little away from establishing his foundation, it was still a gap. The gap between the two was like the chasm between heaven and earth.
Just after the fight, Mo Tong was blown away, and the magic weapon fell from his hand. He fell heavily on the stone wall, embedding deeply into it, and all the bones in his body seemed to be broken.
Mo Tong suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and immediately bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Enduring the severe pain on his body, he roared, "Old man, if you don't keep your promise, don't blame me for destroying you along with me!"
"burst!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Not good!" Zhang Xiang's face suddenly changed, and he looked horrified.
He was not horrified by the spell that Mo Tong was about to cast, but because the method Mo Tong was about to use was... self-destruction.
It would not be difficult for a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation to resist the self-explosion, even if he was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. However, it was impossible to protect the red-bearded dragon egg from being affected in the slightest.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" Mo Tong knew that he couldn't possibly escape from Zhang Xiang's hands with his serious injuries, so he just threw himself at it, laughing wildly, "Let's die together!"
Prime Minister Zhang's face was filled with panic. He suddenly shouted, "Sir, if you don't show up to stop us, what are you waiting for?"
"What!?" Mo Tong's expression suddenly changed, and his action of preparing to self-destruct suddenly paused.
Is there anyone else here?
"Oh." At the same time, a faint sigh came from outside the cave, and then a neatly dressed woman slowly walked into the cave.
When Mo Tong saw the man's appearance, he was stunned: "You...you are."
"The plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, and the winter wind howls loudly." When the woman walked into the cave, a flat voice came in, and a bone-chilling chill suddenly emanated from her.
The woman raised her hand and patted Mo Tong lightly.
The coldness instantly approached Mo Tong's body, freezing him completely.
Even the power he intended to use to self-destruct was completely sealed within his body, solidifying along with the disappearance of his life.
"You have perfected the Ice-Freezing Qi Condensation Technique with one move. You are indeed at the Foundation Establishment stage." Zhang Xiang's eyes showed a strong fear as he stared at the figure that was still approaching.
"Long time no see, fellow Taoist." The woman said.
"Long time no see? We've only been apart for a few hours... Well, perhaps seeing you in your current state, we can consider it our first acquaintance." Zhang Xiang's face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist Hao Miaojun!"
The person who appeared in the cave was none other than Hao Miaojun.
Zhang Xiang's loud shout just now was not intended to kill Mo Tong. He did sense the presence of another cultivator, but it disappeared very quickly.
Mo Tong had his back to Zhang Xiang, which gave him a perfect opportunity to make a move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Xiang originally planned to kill Mo Tong, but Mo Tong reacted extremely quickly and took out a magic weapon to block Zhang Xiang's killing move.
Although he was still seriously injured, Mo Tong's final determination to self-destruct shocked Zhang Xiang.
If he succeeds in self-destructing, Zhang Xiang will surely die.
"Fellow Daoist, I just saved your life. Do you still want to be hostile to me?" Hao Miaojun said with a faint smile.
Zhang Xiang was about to speak.
The entire cave suddenly began to tremble. He soon discovered that it was not the cave that was shaking, but the entire extinct volcano. The air was filled with a manic atmosphere.
"It seems that those people outside have already started hunting the red-bearded dragon. You can start your plan now." Hao Miaojun gave Zhang Xiang a half-smile.
Zhang Xiang stared at the woman, feeling a sense of foreboding. "You probably didn't know I was looking for the Red-bearded Flood Dragon's eggs. You didn't even know I was going to the Red-bearded Flood Dragon's lair. Why did you hide your cultivation in advance?"
"Is it a habit?"
"When did you discover that I had hidden my cultivation?" Hao Miaojun did not answer Zhang Xiang's question, but asked back.
Zhang Xiang twitched his lips, shook his head and smiled, "You subconsciously revealed too many flaws. They couldn't notice them because of your lack of cultivation."
