Seeing her somewhat flustered younger sister, Li Huaxing comforted her, "It's nothing, it's just a few nights. Didn't the captain generously promise to cover all our food and other expenses while we're staying on the Flying Fish?"
Wan Tong's eyes still betrayed her worry:
"I... I just feel that if I don't leave soon, something really bad will happen. My eyelids have been twitching these past few days."
Li Huaxing comforted her, "It's alright, I'll protect you. I learned swordsmanship from Brother Jing, and it's very good."
“Brother Jing…” Wan Tong recalled that scene that seemed like hell.
Some were brutally bled to death, some were tortured and abused, while she hid in her cell, trembling with fear.
"Mmm." She nodded emphatically to Li Huaxing.
Then she began to worry about Chen Jing, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear of worrying Li Huaxing as well.
She simply sat down on the edge of the bed and watched Li Huaxing begin to paint, finding it all very enjoyable.
She had wanted to tell Chen Jing that she really enjoyed her life after moving to Zhang Taoying's house.
Although she was somewhat dependent on others, at least Uncle Zhang and Zhang Taoying didn't beat or scold her. She could even help Zhang Taoying take care of Uncle Zhang and earn some money to supplement the family income. Chen Jing had also become a member of the Black Hand Gang, although... although it was somewhat dangerous. Li Huaxing was also practicing swordsmanship and painting. Commander Ma had also promised Li Huaxing the position of monster lure, replacing Chen Jing...
At least, they will all have a bright future.
But Wan Tong was very sensible. Chen Jing told her to leave Ash City, and she left.
Wan Tong knew that Chen Jing was very good to her, and Li Huaxing was also very good to her. The outside world might be better than Ash City, but she was a little reluctant to leave Uncle Zhang and Sister Tao Ying, as well as the other good people she had met in Ash City.
She vaguely understood why she had to leave. Chen Jing had infiltrated the Black Hand gang to rescue her, thus disrupting the blood sacrifice. It could be said that Chen Jing and the Black Hand gang were sworn enemies. Therefore, the only possible reason for Chen Jing's decision to force them to leave so hastily was…
...
It's not impossible!
It seemed as if flames were burning in Chen Jing's eyes.
The possibility lies in the fact that he knows where the feng shui master is hiding! He has seen the location of the xiezhi sculpture through the source of darkness!
Knowing where the enemy is means there is a possibility of eliminating them.
However, the other party was an Extreme Realm cultivator. Chen Jing did not know how strong an Extreme Realm cultivator was, but he knew how strong a Qi Realm cultivator was. Chen Jing had experienced the "aura" of a Qi Realm cultivator several times. Whether it was the impactful aura of the Slave Soul or the aura bestowed by Black Hand Lu Gang that was almost like mental manipulation, Chen Jing had personally felt them.
In addition, Chen Jing had fought against the "Angel" and knew firsthand how difficult it was to deal with the "aura armor" formed by aura.
To kill a cultivator who is at least at the Qi Realm level, the first problem to face is "damage output," and you must break the opponent's aura in order to kill them.
This feng shui master is not an angel nailed to a strange wooden stake; he can move. If the surprise attack fails, he can rely on the feng shui master's diverse spells and abilities to escape the battlefield or launch a counterattack.
This means that, given Chen Jing's abilities, the only way to kill him is to decide the outcome in the first strike.
The second problem is that Chen Jing knows from the experts that cultivators at the Ming Realm can directly see through his noise invisibility. In other words, even if Chen Jing has a way to kill the opponent in one blow, he will still face the problem of how to sneak up and get close to him.
If either of these two problems cannot be solved, Chen Jing has no chance of winning.
"Let's put the first problem aside for now. The second problem isn't without a solution..." Chen Jing pondered.
After considering all his abilities, Chen Jing discovered that he had an advantage that he could utilize.
That means he's not a Qi Realm cultivator and doesn't have "qi aura"!
This means that a feng shui master with the ability to "observe qi" cannot see the aura emanating from Chen Jing, which may lower their guard against Chen Jing and give him an opportunity to attack.
So the question is, how do you instantly kill your opponent?
Chen Jing considered all his abilities and felt that even with the Assassin's Eye and the Heavenly Heart, he wasn't very confident.
"Mr. Mei, do you have any weapons that I can use to kill a cultivator at the pinnacle of cultivation? The kind that can kill in one hit?" Chen Jing asked cautiously.
Mei Moke shook his head: "I don't have that kind of thing. The requirements you mentioned are that it must be a precious one-time spiritual artifact such as a true god's creation, and it must be launched in a surprise attack when the cultivator at the extreme level is caught off guard, in order to have any chance of killing him."
Chen Jing was not discouraged. He thought that since the scene revealed in the source of darkness led him to the underground arena, it might be a hint that there were similar items underground here.
Chen Jing then asked, "Mr. Mei, is there such an item in the sealed area beneath the arena?"
Mei Moke said, "It's possible, really possible, but a very small possibility."
“I don’t know if such an item exists here. I can only tell you that during the second blood sacrifice, the original inhabitants here seemed to have been attacked and left. If such an item existed, they should have already used it.”
"Moreover, such items can reverse the course of a war. In the later stages of a war in ruins, the gods do not appear. If such an item exists, it would be enough to turn the tide of the battle."
"We have to keep looking," Chen Jing said.
Mei Moke nodded: "I'll go look for it with you."
Chen Jing became somewhat wary upon hearing this.
Mei Moke still has that bloated angelic appearance, with the white tubes on her back still swaying. Chen Jing doesn't even dare to step into the hall, and they communicate from a distance.
“That’s right. No wonder you can’t trust me in my current state.” Mei Moke said understandingly, “I feel quite clear-headed and rational now. It’s okay. Don’t you have that invisibility ability? Use your invisibility to go in and look for me. I’ll wait for you outside.”
