Chapter 1207 Take a good look at the newspaper!
When the figure that was lurking in the forest popped out and tried to stab Song Shuhang’s waist, the virtuous lamia immediately appeared and protected him.
“Clang-” The sword of the assassin was blocked by the virtuous lamia’s body. At the same time, the virtuous lamia took out a ‘face-slapping slipper’ and tried to slap the assassin.
However, just as the slipper was about to hit the face of the assassin, a small seal emerged on the assassin’s body, blocking the face-slipper. The assassin clearly knew of Song Shuhang’s methods fairly well. With the knowledge that the virtuous lamia had this move, he had long prepared for it.
The assassin gritted his teeth, and said, “Break!”
The dagger in his hand released dark evil energy-it was evil energy of the Netherworld. Besides that, there were two other strange kinds of energy attached to the dagger. All three types of energy opposed the power of merit. It was clear that this dagger was a weapon that was specifically made to restrain the virtuous lamia.
The assassin violently thrust his dagger and was able to penetrate the defenses of the virtuous lamia. After getting past the lamia, the dagger continued onward to penetrate Song Shuhang’s waist.
This was a planned and well-prepared assassination.
Song Shuhang’s eyes stared at the dagger. The virtuous lamia had undergone several upgrades in the past few days, and her strength had even been raised by two small grades. Even if she was somewhat constrained by his realm, the lamia’s pure defense was not weaker than that of someone at the Fifth Stage, and yet this dagger was actually able to easily pierce her defenses?
It was unfortunate that even if the dagger was indeed able to break past the defenses of the virtuous lamia, Song Shuhang still had his ‘saber intent armor protecting his body.
As such, the assassin’s dagger was blocked once again.
The whole process had happened in an instant.
At this moment, Immortal Fairy Bie Xue behind him burst out and rushed behind the assassin in an instant. She waved the kitchen knife in her hand, and, in the blink of an eye, slashed out the knife 88 times at the assassin.
Senior White said it well—don’t doubt the skills of an immortal chef when it comes to knives.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s knife technique could be said to be sublime.
“Crack!”
The assassin’s body shattered and he was cut into bits and pieces. After that, various parts, pieces of metal, and broken pieces of wood fell to the ground.
The small seal in the air which had resisted the might of the face-slapping slipper collapsed and disappeared.
“A puppet?” Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s eyebrow raised.
Song Shuhang stretched his hand out and took out the dagger wedged into the virtuous lamia’s body. After taking it out, golden light naturally spread all over the virtuous lamia, repairing her body.
Song Shuhang kept away the dagger. This dagger is likely to be a treasure, I will appraise it later; perhaps I can gain something from it.
After the dagger was pulled out, the virtuous lamia tilted her head, and then her body collapsed toward the ground.
Song Shuhang said, “Don’t play dead.”
Halfway down to the ground, the virtuous lamia, who had her head tilted, stopped falling and looked at Song Shuhang while maintaining her ‘falling down’ posture.
Song Shuhang: “…”
With a sigh, he moved his gaze to the puppet that had been broken down into pieces on the ground.
“It’s this guy again.” Song Shuhang felt his kidney hurting.
Song Shuhang felt a familiar aura coming from the other party. It was the annoying guy who could not be killed no matter what he did. That guy possessed countless clones, and even after his clones were utterly destroyed, he still wouldn’t die. It was truly a strange matter.
“Do you know the other party?” Immortal Fairy Bie Xue twirled the kitchen knife in her hands.
Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “This guy is like a mobile game ad, nothing can be done to completely remove him.”
After saying that, Song Shuhang glanced at the kitchen knife in Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s hand once again. “Immortal Fairy, you use the kitchen knife for cooking and cutting people down? That’s quite unsanitary.”
“…” Immortal Fairy Bie Xue.
Which of your eyes saw that the kitchen knife I have now and the kitchen knife I use for cooking are the same?
However, the Immortal Fairy was too lazy to explain it to Song Shuhang.
As such, she simply let Song Shuhang misunderstand it. She simply chose to watch and see if he would eat the immortal dishes ‘made using the unsanitary kitchen knife’ during the Immortal Feast.
Song Shuhang said, “Immortal Fairy, let’s return. Every time this guy comes out, he would bring a lot of clones. I’ve got a feeling that there are definitely ambushers lurking around us.”
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue shook her head, and said, “There’s nobody lurking around us, I just checked.”
Song Shuhang nervously said, “Really? But my guts are telling me that it’s still very dangerous here. We should probably go back.”
“Your guts are right.” Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s face showed a kind smile once again. “It’s because I still want to stab your kidney.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, “So, just let me stab it.”
Song Shuhang rolled his eyes.
In the next moment, he suddenly swayed slightly and fell to the ground.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, “What’s the matter?” She hadn’t even used the knife in her hand.
“It’s a mental attack.” Song Shuhang stretched his hand and rubbed his brows. “It’s obvious that he’s made careful preparations for this. However, this guy’s methods are simply untraceable, it’s pretty much impossible to defend against.”
This guy had countless puppets; with that, he had even grasped a lot of evil secret techniques.
For example, the ‘Jet-Black Sect’s Nightmare Curse’ that had been previously used on Song Shuhang. Although it had ‘curse’ in its name, it wasn’t actually a curse. Its effects were that it would pull Song Shuhang into a nightmare every night.
In addition, to cast the curse, that guy’s puppet only had to make eye contact with Song Shuhang. Without the suppression of the (Writing of the Sage), Song Shuhang might not have been able to get rid of that secret technique until now.
Song Shuhang confidently said, “However, this time, the mental attack isn’t a big problem. Now, I have the virtuous lamia protecting me and even the Sage Seal on top of that. This level of mental attack would not be able to hurt me. At most, I would only feel a bit dizzy.”
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, “So that means that you’re fine? In that case, let me cut your kidney.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Immortal Fairy, honestly speaking, I don’t even have any kidneys right now
At this time, Senior White opened a spatial gate and directly appeared where they were. “I just felt bursts of spiritual energy, did something happen?”
“It’s this guy again, he still hasn’t given up on killing me.” Song Shuhang pointed at the puppet parts on the ground.
Senior White said, “Oh, him, this guy’s really interesting. I collected a puppet of his previously, but I haven’t had the time to study it. Right, can you give these puppet parts to me?!
He wanted to study the puppet and see if he could figure out why this puppet could still be alive and kicking after it had been thoroughly destroyed.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue quickly said, “No problem. Fellow Daoist White, you can have it if you want.”
She was the one who killed the puppet, so she could do whatever she wanted with her battle spoils.
In the world at the bottom of the sea.
In front of the Sea King was the news published by the Daily Cultivator yesterday. Its eyes were locked onto the newspaper.
The headlines of the newspaper were on the battle between Profound Sage Tyrannical Song and Sage Monarch Winter Melon.
According to the report, on the night of the full moon, Sage Monarch Winter Melon had originally changed who he challenged, but ended up encountering Profound Sage Tyrannical Song on the way. After that, the two great Profound Sages agreed to duel and have one move decide who won.
When the duel unfolded, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song cast a saber technique that slashed out something akin to a small sun and burned everything. As soon as the slash came down, it broke apart all of Sage Monarch Winter Melon’s defenses, and Sage Monarch Winter Melon could only accept his defeat.
The Daily Cultivator’s newspaper also described Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s power in detail. They stated that it burned the skies, the air, and the spiritual power, and even the moisture in the air had become steam. The report stated that his attack could be said to be at the peak of fire-type saber techniques.
The Sea King moved his gaze away from the newspaper.
Beneath the Sea King, there were countless sea urchin warriors kneeling and trembling due to their fear of the Sea King’s anger.
Sea King let out a deep sigh. It was afraid that it was not Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s opponent before its strength was fully restored. However, if it wanted to restore its strength as quickly as possible, the complete ‘Treasured Crusader Armor’ was indispensable. Now, the problem was that a piece of this armor was still in the hands of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
“Bzzzt-“Sea King shot out a ray of light that exploded the table in front of it into ashes.
Perhaps he would need to change his strategy.
Since it was impossible to recapture the ‘glove’ from Profound Sage Tyrannical Song through force, he could only try to trade for the glove from the other party.
As long as his offer showed his sincerity, it should not be too difficult to exchange for a glove that did not have that much use to Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
The Sea King was already mentally prepared to be slaughtered during the transaction.
At that moment, a crude puppet emerged from behind a pillar.
“There is a problem with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s realm,” the crude puppet said solemnly. “I just went and used a secret technique to check it out. His mental energy is still somewhere between the Fourth Stage and the Fifth Stage Realm, while his realm is still at the Fourth Stage Realm. He is not a Profound Sage.”
Sea King’s huge eyes stared at the puppet with a cold smile, and said, “What are you trying to say?”
The crude puppet seriously said, “As long as he is not a Profound Sage, we still have a chance. If we join forces, I would be able to retrieve the ancestral puppet’s ‘pseudo-eternal furnace core’, while you will be able to retrieve the silver glove. This time, I’ve got accurate information.”
“Hahahaha, so you want me to rush up to him and be slashed into ashes?” The Sea King extended a tentacle and threw the copy of the Daily Cultivator at the crude puppet. “Take a good look at the newspaper. Profound Sage Tyrannical Song was able to defeat Sage Monarch Winter Melon with one slash in seconds, his strength is beyond doubt.”
“The report of the Daily Cultivator only stated that he slashed out once. Moreover, he made a deal with Sage Monarch Winter Melon, and this means that it’s very likely that he can only slash something of that caliber a single time,” the crude puppet said. “It’s impossible for the data from my secret technique to be wrong. His realm is really only at the Fourth Stage. If you are worried, I can take the lead.”
“It’s still not enough,” the Sea King said. “Don’t forget that there’s still ‘Sage White’ by his side. If you really want to fight Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, show me what cards you have. You have to at least have a way to block off ‘Sage White’.”
The crude puppet gently put down the newspaper and bowed to the Sea King. “I understand, then await my good news.”
After saying that, its figure went behind the pillar and disappeared.
“Hmph.” Sea King snorted coldly.
Does he really think that I’m stupid?
I might be the ‘God’ of the sea urchin warriors, but I’m not a sea urchin warrior myself.
At the Limitless Demon Sect.
Young Master Hai’s puppet clone could be seen carefully looking at a similar newspaper that had been published by the Daily Cultivator.
These newspapers became available yesterday, and his puppet clone had been studying it ever since.
“He defeated Sage Monarch Winter Melon.” Young Master Hai’s puppet clone sighed softly.
Sure enough, that ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ was really a Seventh Stage Venerable who was simply ‘experiencing mortal dust’he was someone who was merely playing the pig to eat the tiger.
However, one day, I will catch up to you and have you beneath my feet.
Young Master Hai re-established his confidence.
Now, I have to rush to the Fifth Stage Realm and join in the big plan of the Limitless Demon Sect. At that time, I shall spread my wings!
