"You actually have a way to deal with Shen Gongbao?"
Huang Tianhua was initially puzzled, but then instantly understood. After all, Shi Zhan was a veteran Golden Immortal, so it was normal for him to have some trump cards up his sleeve.
Huang Tianhua immediately exclaimed excitedly:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
Shi Zhan hesitated for a moment and said:
"My method might have some impact on your fellow disciples, so..."
Seeing that Shen Gongbao had already closed the gap to them and would likely catch up in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Huang Tianhua waved his hand:
"I'll remove the restrictions on you right now."
Having said that, Huang Tianhua's face turned cold, and he warned Shi Zhan at the same time:
"Now we're all in the same boat. I hope you're a smart man, otherwise even if you escape today, there won't be a place for you in this vast wilderness."
Shi Zhan's expression hardened:
"Of course, but do you still stand by what you said before, that you would let me leave the Chan Sect after I kill Shen Gongbao? Don't go back on your word if I accidentally hurt one of your Chan Sect disciples later."
Hearing this, Huang Tianhua's worries instantly subsided.
As long as Shi Zhan still has something to ask for, then it's not a problem.
Without hesitation, Huang Tianhua said directly:
"Don't worry, as long as you can kill Shen Gongbao, everything Yunwu promised you before will still stand. You know my identity, and I can still make this decision."
Shi Zhan was overjoyed:
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me in the Kunlun region from now on."
Seeing Shi Zhan's obsequious expression, Huang Tianhua's last trace of worry vanished. He glanced at Shen Gongbao, who had once again closed the gap between them by two points, and quickly cast a spell.
Two breaths later, as the final incantation entered Shi Zhan's body, Huang Tianhua revealed a relaxed smile:
"Shi Zhan, use whatever means you have. If you can kill Shen Gongbao today, my master will certainly not be stingy with the reward."
With all the constraints of so many years finally lifted, Shi Zhan could no longer contain his joy. He glanced at Huang Tianhua with a strange expression and chuckled:
"Okay, I'll do as you say now."
Having said that, the oppressive aura of a Golden Immortal instantly spread out.
Feeling Shi Zhan's pressure, which was three times stronger than before, Huang Tianhua's confidence in Shi Zhan increased even more.
Suddenly, Huang Tianhua felt a sharp pain in his waist and looked at Shi Zhan beside him in disbelief.
Shi Zhan's face revealed an undisguised elation:
"Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianhua, I wish Shen Gongbao would die immediately, but do you think I wouldn't hate you all?"
"Everyone says Huang Tianhua is ruthless and cunning, but I never expected him to actually believe the words of a heretical cultivator like himself. It's truly laughable!"
"But don't worry, I'll make sure you die a worthy death!"
After saying that, Shi Zhan suddenly exerted force with his hand that was probing into Huang Tianhua's body, and grabbed a golden needle as thin as a cow's hair in his hand. It was the Heart-Piercing Nail that Huang Tianhua had used to sneak attack Qiongxiao earlier.
Looking at the Heart-Piercing Nail in his hand, he heard Shi Zhan whisper in Huang Tianhua's ear in a voice barely audible:
"Everyone says that Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's Heart-Piercing Nail is unparalleled in its sneak attacks, but I wonder if he ever told you that the Heart-Piercing Nail refined by Xuanmen cultivators is the truly unparalleled in its power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tianhua felt a tremendous suction force suddenly come from his body.
The next moment, Huang Tianhua clearly felt his blood, spiritual power, and even lifespan rapidly disappearing.
"why is that?"
Huang Tianhua looked at Shi Zhan in disbelief.
The Heart-Piercing Nail was clearly a magical treasure belonging to his master, the True Lord Qingxu Morality. Even he was only able to control it after the True Lord Qingxu Morality granted him partial access.
Why could Shi Zhan, a criminal of the Chan sect, be ordered around so easily?
Meeting Huang Tianhua's incredulous gaze, Shi Zhan revealed a mocking smile:
"It seems that True Lord Qingxu Morality really didn't tell you. This Heart-Piercing Nail has been a family heirloom of the Shi family from the very beginning. As a descendant of the Shi family, it's only natural that I can control this Heart-Piercing Nail!"
"Alright, now I've answered all your questions, and you can die in peace!"
After saying that, in Huang Tianhua's despairing gaze, the last bit of power in his body was completely absorbed by the Heart-Piercing Nail.
"To deal with Shen Gongbao, Huang Tianhua alone is not enough. Fortunately, at this time, an unlucky fellow has come to our door. It's truly a stroke of luck!"
With a single kick, Shi Zhan ended Huang Tianhua's life, then sped off without pausing.
In less than three breaths, Shen Gongbao appeared where Huang Tianhua had landed.
Shen Gongbao had already roughly spotted some of the movements of Shi Zhan and his companion from a distance.
Looking at Huang Tianhua, who was now lifeless and whose cultivation and essence had been completely drained, Shen Gongbao could only say that he deserved it.
However, although Huang Tianhua is dead, Shi Zhan is still a menace, and Shen Gongbao absolutely cannot allow such a being to continue living in this world.
Without further ado, Shen Gongbao quickly chased after Shi Zhan in the direction he had left.
The two were getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Shen Gongbao's expression hardened.
"What is that?"
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared not far from Shi Zhan.
Although Shen Gongbao couldn't see it very clearly due to the distance, considering his current position, the figure gradually began to overlap with a person in Shen Gongbao's memory.
However, before Shen Gongbao could fully react, Shi Zhan had already made his move.
Seeing Shi Ji suddenly appear not far from him, Shi Zhan shouted excitedly:
"Fairy in front, I am Shi Zhan of the Chan Sect. There is an evil cultivator chasing me from behind. If you can help me stop that evil cultivator, the Chan Sect will reward you handsomely!"
"The Chan Sect?"
"Heretical cultivator?"
Shi Ji had discovered the commotion here before she came to investigate from Skull Mountain.
Unexpectedly, it was a fellow Daoist from the Chan Sect who encountered a malevolent cultivator.
Although the Chan and Jie sects belong to two different schools, the three sects are one family, and it is not right to stand idly by and watch someone die.
I had never heard of the name Shi Zhan before, so I suppose he must be a newly accepted disciple of the Chan Sect.
Subconsciously, Shi Ji looked behind Shi Zhan.
Just then, a golden light shot out from Shi Zhan's palm and entered Shi Ji's body before she could react.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Shen Gongbao wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The moment the Heart-Piercing Nail pierced Shi Ji's body, it directly sealed off her heart orifice. By the time Shi Ji realized what was happening, most of her cultivation and essence had already been lost.
"You're not a disciple of the Chan Sect?"
"Haha, you're only realizing it now? Too late!"
Shi Zhan laughed loudly, because at this time, the Heart-Piercing Nail, which had absorbed the full cultivation of Huang Tianhua and Shi Ji, was no longer what it used to be.
