Chapter 604 Once Again Revealing the Powerful Prestige of the Deep North
Since they were both at the Profound Void Martial Stage, they would be incomparable to the divine skills of Supreme Dao warriors when using the Supreme Dao weapon. The thing Qin Wushuang was worried about was that if he were to get caught up in battle and unable to finish him off, the situation would go out of control if Yan Zhuiyang were to show up too.
For Qin Wushuang, it would certainly not be an easy situation if he were attacked from two elite warriors possessing Supreme Dao weapons. Even with the help of the sealed spiritual beasts, he would undoubtedly lose his order and control.
Indeed, when Lei Jiao saw Wu Dingyuan revealing his timidness, he felt less vigilant. He walked shoulder by shoulder with Wu Dingyuan. After having walked for a moment, he did indeed see that Hu Qiulan was leaning against a pile of reefs. His face appeared pale and his expression dispirited.
To himself, Lei Jiao swore, "Useless."
Before Qin Wushuang had even been discovered, one of these two guys was injured and the other one was displaying ignorance. It was not strange that Lei Jiao was feeling angered. They had invited Wu Dingyuan and Hu Qiulan as an accessory in order to make the matter appear less obvious when the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect were, in fact, targeting the Aspiring Throne Qin Clan.
Regardless the situation, they had hoped that these two would exert some sort of effort. Unexpectedly, these two warriors had utterly failed to live up to their expectations. When Lei Jiao looked at them, naturally he felt ashamed and displeased.
"Brother Hu Qiu, how do you feel?" Wu Dingyuan walked over quickly.
Lei Jiao shot him with an indifferent glance. Clearly, his mind was not on Hu Qiulan. Now, he was more curious of the exact location of the abandoned cave dwelling and whether it truly concealed the bloodline of the Phantom Dragon. If it truly did exist, Lei Jiao had considered to not offer it to Mu Rong Qianji, but to take it as his own without any hesitation.
The bloodline of the Immemorial Phantom Dragon was absolutely the bloodline of the Supreme Dao. With this bloodline to serve in his baptism, Lei Jiao would become a Supreme Dao warrior for sure.
If he were not to take this advantage, he would be an idiot.
Could it be that he were to truly offer this bloodline of the Phantom Dragon to the Floating Snow House? He was not worthy of such great admiration. Mu Rong Xu? Lei Jiao admit that Mu Rong Xu had posed extreme attractiveness. Yet Lei Jiao was not an idiot, for he knew that Mu Rong Xu’s heart was already stolen by Qin Wushuang. To a woman that would not put her heart onto Lei Jiao, of course he would not give up the bloodline of the Phantom Dragon to compete for such woman.
"Brother Lei, come see quickly, there is something wrong with Brother Hu Qiu," Wu Dingyuan called out anxiously.
Feeling displeased inwardly, Lei Jiao said half-heartedly, "Just some minor injuries, he will be fine after some rest. Brother Wu, the abandoned cave dwelling, where is it?"
Wu Dingyuan said urgently, "Brother Wu, we need to save him first, then go see the cave dwelling."
Lei Jiao said unhappily, "Brother Wu, you have fooled me to come here. Could it be you are asking me to save him?"
Wu Dingyuan said anxiously, "Of course not, earlier Brother Hu Qiu was fine. Now, all of a sudden his injuries have become worse. Could it be those spiritual beasts are poisonous?"
Wu Dingyuan said with a long sigh, "Brother Hu Qiu, you should not have gone to explore that abandoned cave dwelling on your own."
Upon hearing these words, Lei Jiao’s expression had moved. Could it be that Hu Qiulan was injured after exploring the abandoned cave dwelling. Thinking here, Lei Jiao walked over quickly and asked, "Brother Hu Qiu, did you get hurt in the abandoned cave dwelling?"
Hu Qiulan said with a miserable smile, "Yes, there are many byways inside that cave dwelling. I had walked the right paths all along until a later intersection where I took the wrong path and got blockaded by a group of giant devilish crabs. If I had not acted so fast, I would be suffering more than these minor injuries."
Lei Jiao said with a low voice, "Are the paths to the cave dwelling complicated? Do you still remember the route?"
Hu Qiulan said, "Right now my mind is in chaotic order. Unless I go back, there is no way I would remember."
Upon seeing Hu Qiulan’s pale face and weak look, Lei Jiao did not know when he would recovered. He would not have the time to wait.
Immediately, he took out a small pill and said, "This is the healing panacea of my Sound of Thunder Sect. Take it now, and you will certainly be fine."
Hu Qiulan said with a bitter smile, "My spiritual Qi in my Dantian is rolling up and down, I would not dare take any pills. I am afraid there are some other problems."
"The Dantian is in chaotic order? How could this happen?" Lei Jiao extended his hands and grabbed Hu Qiulan’s hand. Just when he was about to feel out, suddenly, that seemingly lifeless Hu Qiulan changed his face. He had become spirited from head to toe. With his palm like an iron hoop, he turned his hand over and grabbed Lei Jiao’s hand.
Lei Jiao was truly shocked and immediately wanted to shake him off. However, Hu Qiulan’s hand was like a giant plier in which he pulled his hand tightly. His entire body was drawn by a spurt of immense power that, regardless of how much he struggled, he could not make a single movement.
It’s too far from good!
A terrible thought passed through Lei Jiao’s mind and instantly he remembered the reminders from Lord Lei Ming. Quivering, he realized that he had been fooled.
He exerted all of his strength to try to break free. However, when one of his hand was grabbed, it seemed that his entire Primordial Spirit was strapped tightly by an invisible rope. He was unable to move a single step.
"You!" Lei Jiao looked at Hu Qiulan with glaring eyes. Then, he looked at Wu Dingyuan and swore with a wretched tone, "Wu Dingyuan, you live on while helping others secretly!"
Revealing an indifferent gaze, Wu Dingyuan looked at Lei Jiao and said with a hateful tone, "Lei Jiao, this is all because you had forced me. If you guys had not forced me, why would I come here?"
Lei Jiao only felt a spurt of tyrannical power that kept tugging and dragging his Dantian. It kept pulling out the spiritual Qi from his Dantian tyrannically.
Indeed, this spurt of power was incredibly swift, like a river breaking through a dam. Even if Lei Jiao had intended to block up the gap, he was clueless of where to start.
Despair! It was a genuine feel of despair. Lei Jiao’s throat kept rumbling as he let go a desperate yell that could only belong to someone at the brink of their death. However, with everything that was happening to him, he could not be released from his captor.
Of course, Qin Wushuang had disguised himself as Hu Qiulan. Only this time, Qin Wushuang had used the "Power of Deep North". He had tricked Lei Jiao to come to the door and used the safest method to take care of Lei Jiao. Not a single sword or knife was used. He had not given Lei Jiao any chance to call for help.
The absorption power of the "Power of Deep North" was incredibly terrifying. Lei Jiao could only hold out for ten seconds before his entire body had become as soft as slush, leaving his Dantian drained from the absorption. With this current Lei Jiao, one could not see any traces left of the once domineering disciple to the Sound of Thunder Sect.
There only appeared the embarrassing state of a warrior at the brink of the death. Up to now, he could still not understand how he had been mysteriously and unreasonably overthrown.
Despite all the precautions he had taken, in the end, he had not foreseen this result.
This was not suppose to be his reality... He had possessed a Supreme Dao weapon, yet before he had the chance to use it, he was struck down.
When Qin Wushuang saw the dejected Lei Jiao on the ground, he said to Wu Dingyuan, "The Supreme Dao weapon belongs to me. The other good things all belong to you."
Wu Dingyuan immediately waved his hand. "They are all yours, I don’t want anything."
Qin Wushuang laughed for he knew that Wu Dingyuan was restraining his fear and would not dare to take Lei Jiao’s goods. In the case of people investigating the origin of this misfortune, these stolen goods would be great evidence of one’s crime.
Wu Dingyuan had expropriated everything. Of course, there was no exception to that piece of Supreme Dao weapon. This Supreme Dao weapon was indeed, a Supreme Dao Divine Shield that could be used in offense and defense.
This shield could appear in any size and would change according to the user’s intentions. The upper part of the shield was a pointed shield blade that appeared to be very meticulous. The entire shield was finely crafted and extremely well-crafted. One could see that it was special with a single glance.
As soon as Qin Wushuang held it, he could immediately sense the different aspects of the shield. It had contained that familiar presence which only belonged to the Supreme Dao Divine Shield. Although it was not as quaint and deep as the Graceful Spiritual Bow, when he held it, Qin Wushuang’s baptized body instantly resonated with the new equipment.
For this type of resonance, only the Supreme Dao weapon deserved to be bathed in it!
The most miraculous thing about this shield was its transformation aspect. In offensive situations, it could change into a flying shield and pointed blade. In defensive situations, it would be a solid shield.
The integration of offense and defense had made this Supreme Dao Divine Shield to appear incredibly precious. No wonder Wu Dingyuan suggested him to deal with Lei Jiao first.
If Lei Jiao learned that Qin Wushuang was going to deal with him, with this Supreme Dao Divine Shield at hand, indeed Qin Wushuang would not have had any advantages with his Graceful Spiritual Bow.
After all, he had not possessed the original Shooting Sun Arrows that belonged to the Graceful Spiritual Bow. He heard from Chief Qin Yunran that the Xuan Yuan clan had confiscated those nine Shooting Sun Arrows.
It would be perfect if he could get ahold of the original Shooting Sun Arrows.
H put away all of the equipment into his knapsack without any hesitation. He could see that Lei Jiao was at the death’s gate. Qin Wushuang ordered, "You will take care of Lei Jiao. Since we have killed Lei Jiao, Yan Zhuiyang is alone and it would be difficult for him to fly out of this Black Dead Sea even with wings!"
Wu Dingyuan did not hold back as he slashed Lei Jiao into two halves with a hand blade. In the end, Wu Dingyuan had resented Lei Jiao. If it weren’t’ for the Sound of Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Punishing Villa forcing them to come, how would he fall to the point where he is at now?
Therefore, being ordered to kill Lei Jiao was precisely angering Wu Dingyuan’s inner hostility, how could he hold back?
After he had taken care Lei Jiao, Qin Wushuang said, "If you want to leave, now is the time." Remember, if you wish to deceive Lei Jiao and Yan Guinan, these two old cunning foxes, you must be sure to pretend to be extremely frightened. It’s best to exaggerate and make them feel that you were scared out of your wits and in a confused state of mind. The more you act this way, the less suspicious they will be."
Upon a moment of thinking, Wu Dingyuan felt Qin Wushuang’s words had made sense. He nodded and said, "Master, then if I go up, are you able to deal with Yan Zhuiyang?"
Qin Wushuang said with a faint smile, "He is the only one left, do you think I can handle him?"
Wu Dingyuan had witnessed Qin Wushuang’s methods and intelligent strategies. He knew that with Yan Zhuiyang’s skill, even if they were on par with skills, most likely the one to die unavenged would still be Yan Zhuiyang.
After Wu Dingyuan had left, Qin Wushuang had become rather calm. Now, the final target was Yan Zhuiyang.
With the Observant Jade Finger Plate at hand, Qin Wushuang was not worried of the places he would go. Regardless, this Yan Zhuiyang must die!
This was not only because of the continuation of the feud between the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan and the Sound of Thunder Sect, but more importantly, in order to deal with Qin Wushuang, they had used Mu Rong Xu as a breakthrough point. This was the main reason Qin Wushuang utterly detested them.
Currently, Yan Zhuiyang was investigating his area thoroughly. He suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine and his heart trembled slightly. When one shivered without cause, nothing good could follow.
He took out the communication jade plate with a bitter smile and was about to contact Lei Jiao.
