Chapter 78 Turning against someone faster than flipping through a book
Everyone pitched in and worked together to pry up the floor tiles.
As Xi'er pried off the last floor tile, a dazzling light shone from beneath it.
Qu Minghao and the other three rushed over and surrounded Xi'er.
Zhou Wu, the one who looked the most sturdy and honest among the four, exclaimed in disbelief, "It's actually a meteorite from outer space!"
Xi'er had never heard of any extraterrestrial meteorite crystal, but she could sense that the irregularly shaped crystal beneath the floor tiles contained the power of laws.
It seems they've discovered a treasure, and the power of laws is different from other treasures; it requires quiet contemplation and cannot be separated.
She thought that after she went out, she could discuss with the four of them about getting together to comprehend the power of the laws.
But they didn't notice that the four had exchanged a glance, and then Zhou Wu whispered, "Make your move!"
The next second, four extremely vicious attacks came at her simultaneously.
At this moment, Bo Yiyan was in the spirit herb garden outside, collecting some worthless spirit herbs that the four people didn't want.
For an apothecary, the value of a elixir is not important; what matters is its ability to play a role in the preparation of medicines, even if it is only an auxiliary ingredient.
Before entering the secret realm, Qu Minghao and his three companions had already agreed that if the treasures inside weren't particularly valuable, they would split the profits 30/70 as previously agreed.
But if you happen to come across a priceless treasure, then find an opportunity to kill and steal it.
Meteorite crystals from outer space are priceless treasures. If one can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth within them, it is possible to break through to a higher realm than the Tongtian Realm—the Potian Realm.
To obtain this extraterrestrial meteorite crystal, they would not hesitate to kill not only strangers like Xi'er, but also their four long-time partners.
At this moment, they thought Xi'er was alone, which is why they dared to attack her so ruthlessly.
Furthermore, they believed that as long as they eliminated Xi'er in one fell swoop, the remaining Bo Yiyan, with the combined strength of the four of them, would definitely be easy to capture.
In fact, Xi'er was completely unprepared, but she carried with her a matryoshka doll talisman array drawn by A-Chen himself—composed of nine layers of Vajra talismans.
Once she is fatally attacked, the rune array will be triggered to provide active protection.
Unfortunately, this set of doll-shaped talismans could only withstand the full force of a single Tongtian Realm cultivator's attack, but now it was the full force of four Tongtian Realm cultivators' attacks.
The sound of the protective layer cracking rang out, and the nine-layered Vajra Talisman was instantly pierced, but the attack was only resisted by a quarter.
At the same time, Wujin and Wuyi, who were resting inside the hollowed-out silver sphere, also sensed the great crisis facing their master.
The two activated their invincible state simultaneously, rushing out of the space and protecting Xi'er with their own physical forms.
Even in its invincible state, it only withstood half of the attack's power. The remaining quarter of the attack power sliced the seaweed into pieces, which fell to the ground in a flurry.
Even so, about one-eighth of the attack force remained and struck the protective shield that Xi'er had temporarily erected.
At that moment, Xi'er was stunned!
She hadn't expected that these people were just a moment ago discussing which shop to sell the spirit jade bricks they had pried up to, to find the safest and most reliable place.
In the blink of an eye, they turned on her faster than turning the pages of a book, and together they attacked her to kill her!
Looking at Wujin and Wuyi, who were already battered and on the verge of death while protecting her, Xi'er's anger exploded!
She only hesitated for a second before immediately forming hand seals and unleashing her strongest destructive attack seal—Annihilation of the Heavens!
All of this happened in just a dozen seconds. When the four men launched their fatal attack, they were convinced that even if she didn't die on the spot, she would be severely injured.
After all, everyone was at the Tongtian Realm, and this little girl was quite young and dressed very simply. She didn't look like an elite disciple from a powerful family with a strong background, and there was no way she was carrying any super defensive magic treasures.
Unexpectedly, she was first activated with a super defensive rune array that they had never seen before, and then two contracted spirit plants appeared, using their super strong physical defense to share the attack for her.
As a result, she ended up with only minor injuries.
What they didn't expect was that after suddenly encountering such a life-or-death crisis, the little girl was able to launch a counterattack so quickly.
:=
It wasn't until Xi'er's Annihilation Seal landed on them that they belatedly realized what was happening.
However, it was too late!
Of the four, Qu Minghao and Zhou Wu carried powerful defensive magic items with them, while Du Lingling and Gong Feiyang were severely injured on the spot, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.
The powerful defensive magic treasures that Qu Minghao and Zhou Wu carried were also destroyed in an instant, their light dissipating and turning them into junk.
All four people, whether seriously injured or had their magical artifacts destroyed, were shocked into disbelief.
"You, you, you, which powerful family are you from? Why are you in the mission hall accepting missions?" Qu Minghao pointed at Xi'er and asked, trembling.
Xi'er didn't want to answer his question at all. Instead, she pressed a trigger on a ring on her thumb and sprayed a cloud of poisonous mist at them.
She and Bo Yiyan dared to team up with strangers, naturally because they had taken foolproof precautions.
What she didn't expect was that these four teammates, who seemed to have no ill intentions towards them, would suddenly turn on her and kill her.
In fact, these four people did not have any ill intentions towards her before, otherwise, given Xi'er's keen perception of good and evil, she would have noticed it long ago.
They were blinded by the enormous profits after Xi'er unearthed the extraterrestrial meteorite crystal, and their evil intentions arose instantly, so much so that Xi'er, who was focused on digging for treasure, didn't even have time to notice.
The commotion was so loud that Bo Yiyan, who was digging for low-grade spiritual herbs in the herb garden outside, naturally heard it.
When he rushed over, he saw that two of the four people were lying on the ground vomiting blood, while the other two were covering their faces and screaming in agony.
"Ahhh! You witch, what have you done to us? Hand over the antidote now, or I'll tear you to pieces!" Qu Minghao shouted.
The poisonous mist that Xi'er sprayed on them was called "Bone Corrosion," which Bo Yiyan obtained unintentionally when he failed to concoct a potion.
The bone-corroding poison is not actually fatal, but its advantage lies in its rapid effect, which can be described as immediate.
This toxic fog has another characteristic: its molecules are extremely small, allowing them to pass through any fabric and penetrate the skin without hindrance.
Skin corroded by this toxic mist will experience symptoms of intense pain, itching, and bone-chilling pain, but will not die.
Bo Yiyan caught a whiff of the bone-corroding poisonous mist and immediately rushed over. Without hesitation, he ordered his family's Qiansi to tie the four of them up like dumplings.
The vines are covered with tiny thorns that can pierce the skin and paralyze the enemy, rendering them unable to move.
Qu Minghao and his three companions had anticipated that the two might be difficult to deal with, so they had devised a plan in advance to launch a sneak attack on Xi'er when she was alone.
But they never expected that after their failed sneak attack, they would turn the tide so quickly and capture all four of them.
Are you kidding? They are all cultivators at the Tongtian Realm, and they even have their own defensive magic treasures with them. Why did they suffer such a crushing defeat?
