Chapter 745 - Chapter 745 Chapter 745 Have you Thought About How to Die

Chapter 745: Chapter 745 Have you Thought About How to Die? Chapter 745: Chapter 745 Have you Thought About How to Die? Kou Laozhong was using a cyan rope lasso, a legitimate Qi Refinement Realm magic artifact called “Binding Immortal Rope”.

Not to mention an initial-stage martial master, even a Qi-Refining practitioner would be unable to break free once bound by it.

This object had the ability to automatically track within a small range, and ultimately, Gazi still couldn’t avoid it.

Seeing him finally captured, a cold smile surfaced at the corner of Kou Laozhong’s mouth as he moved forward to impose a restriction on this person.

At that moment, a piercing scream came from the sky, “Squeeee~”.

It was Hua Hua taking action, and this scream was even more ear-piercing than before, capable of making one dizzy and blinding, truly soul-shaking.

It had always been unsure whether it should intervene; a thousand years ago, it was commonly accepted among practitioners that elves should not easily strike against humans, so its original plan was to act only if the opponent threatened the Spirit Plant Formation.

Gazi and Xu Leigang could threaten with their guns, but they were humans, a “conflict within the race”, and though it had merged with a human soul, if it acted carelessly, it would surely become a “racial conflict”.

If a mortal came, it wouldn’t care much about racial conflicts, but the opponents had among them not only those at the Mortal Transcendence stage but also Qi Refinement practitioners– in this Dharma-Ending Age, Mortal Transcendence wasn’t too rare, but behind Qi Refinement practitioners, there was definitely the support of a major power.

Therefore, seeing Gazi bounded, Hua Hua finally took official action.

With its scream, the four from Kunlun were simultaneously affected, even Kou Laozhong himself couldn’t help but feel somewhat dizzy and nauseous, internally exclaiming, “What a powerful sound wave attack.”

In fact, in addition to sound wave attacks, Hua Hua could also spray saliva for offense, and when its wings flapped, it could release a bewitching white mist.

Kou Laozhong was unaware it possessed these abilities, now his only thought was to quickly restrain Gazi and retrieve the Binding Immortal Rope.

He had many methods to subdue an enemy, but the Binding Immortal Rope was his most adept and powerful one.

However, how could his plan escape Hua Hua’s notice?

The Butterfly’s intelligence might not be high, but the part of the soul belonging to the Miao girl could see that this cyan rope lasso was definitely extraordinary.

It would not allow the opponent to restrain Gazi and then retrieve Qing Suo to use against itself.

Thus, with a flutter of its wings, it shot towards Kou Laozhong like an arrow.

This method of combat surpassed Kou Laozhong’s imagination; in his mind, among elves, there were many that could engage in physical combat, but a mere butterfly… was worthy?

He reflexively shot out a palm, where a faint red light was visible along the edges, Northern Kunlun’s secret technique, the “Earth Flame Palm”, refined by absorbing the fiery energy of the Earth’s core magma. The technique’s lethality was rather average; the key was the scorching heat of the Earth’s core flame.

This palm technique was specifically effective against various yin and evil beings, and also had a natural attribute suppression against monsters and elves of non-fire attributes.

But Hua Hua had already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and having nothing to do in the Spirit Plant garden for hundreds of years, its agility was beyond ordinary people’s imagination. It brushed past the palm edge and heavily struck the opponent’s right shoulder.

Kou Laozhong hadn’t expected this creature to be so agile, most importantly, his body, although reinforced with the Stone Skin Technique, surprisingly couldn’t withstand the heavy impact.

One should know, when Hua Hua was at the initial stage of Qi Refining, even Wang Haifeng, an initial-stage martial master, couldn’t withstand a collision from it, and Kou Laozhong himself wasn’t a martial cultivator. Even after enhancing himself with the Stone Skin Technique, his defense was merely around the level of a high-rank martial master.

While Hua Hua’s collision didn’t break through his defense, making him retreat two steps was not a problem.

The next moment, Kou Laozhong felt an excruciating pain on his right shoulder and looked down to see a big hole in his black tight-fitting suit, with large blisters forming on the skin underneath.

It turned out that with that collision, Hua Hua had not only used bodily force but had also quietly spat a mouthful of saliva onto it.

“Poison, actually!” Kou Laozhong roared in anger, hastily popped a pill into his mouth, and without thinking, he brought out a Great Seal and slammed it towards Hua Hua.

He hadn’t wronged Hua Hua; the corrosiveness in Hua Hua’s saliva mainly came from a mixture of various venoms, as it was originally a Gu Insect.

This Great Seal was quite renowned as well, not belonging to Kou Laozhong personally, but was Kunlun’s “Traveler’s Seal”. Once this seal was unveiled, it contained a suppressing force of heaven and earth and carried Kunlun’s destiny upon it.

Hua Hua instinctively felt this pressure and terrified, swiftly flew far away.

Comparatively speaking, it had a higher cultivation level than Kou Laozhong, one at the fourth layer of Qi-refining and the other at the second layer, but the battle among practitioners was never just a comparison of cultivation levels.

Hua Hua’s combat strength was relatively weaker. It had some natural elf talents, but they were not enhancements in terms of combat strength, and… it’s undeniable, Kou Laozhong held too many good items in his hands.

The wealth he carried, even if given to a Qi-Refining practitioner from the Mobile Phone plane, would also be considered “wealthy”.

Without considering others, as an example, Pan Renjie, a disciple of the Guanquan Valley’s Pan Family and Wuyou Platform, had Qi Refining ninth layer cultivation, and even when undergoing the Worldly Trials, he couldn’t necessarily produce as many good items.

It seemed rather unbelievable for such a “wealthy cultivator” to appear on a Dharma-Ending plane.

However, upon further reflection, this seemed normal. The spiritual energy of the declining plane had withered, and the ancient Dao heritage had faded, but the great cultivators of the past often left behind some items. With fewer cultivators now, the relics distributed to each individual might not necessarily have decreased.

And Kunlun itself was a place of profound heritage, where treasures were well-preserved. Kou Laozhong, being one of the three prodigies, was bound to receive special attention, which was to be expected.

Hua Hua, on the other hand, had almost nothing when it left the spirit plant garden. It relied purely on instinct when it fought and had a hard time even acquiring a storage ring, which was currently in Feng Jun’s possession. The only item it had now was a storage talisman.

The difference in their equipment was so vast that it obliterated the slight difference in their cultivation levels.

But Hua Hua was also clever. Seeing the Great Seal grow as it caught the wind, eventually reaching several meters in size, and faint restraining forces emanating from the air, it knew it was no match and probably couldn’t even dodge. Thus, with a flick of its wings, it hid behind Xiao Xiang.

As for Xiao Xiang, Hua Hua had a very clear vision of her: not a martial cultivator, and her Dao cultivation was only at the fifth layer of transcending the mortal realm. Such a weakling couldn’t hurt it one bit, even if it closed its eyes and let her do as she pleased.

Ironically, Xiao Xiang was originally using Tang Wenji as a shield, and now Hua Hua was using her as one. Truly, the Heavenly Dao had its ways of retribution.

Seeing this, Kou Laozhong decisively retracted the Great Seal. The Heaven Earth Seal was indeed powerful but indiscriminate in its destruction.

He turned around, about to continue placing restrictions on Gazi, when Hua Hua suddenly clawed across half of Xiao Xiang’s face before dashing towards Kou Laozhong like a bolt of lightning.

Kou Laozhong saw this and flew into a rage, “You’re seeking death!”

He promptly activated a “Five Thunder Talisman.” This talisman was also obtained from his sect and not drawn by him personally. He usually treasured it greatly, but now, consumed by anger, he used it immediately.

Compared to the emotions Tang Wenji and Li Chonggu felt when using talismans, he cared much less about the loss — being at the Qi Refinement Realm made a difference.

But his rage wasn’t diminished in the slightest because, in his eyes, this butterfly was a venomous insect. The scratch on Xiao Xiang’s face was not just a wound.

For Kunlun, a wound wasn’t too horrifying, as the sect owned an abundance of rare spiritual medicines. The real fear was poison attacking the heart, leaving no cure.

Therefore, he hesitated not at all to use the Five Thunder Talisman. This talisman was of a precise-guided type and would not accidentally hurt others.

However, he did not anticipate that Hua Hua had already been disciplined by Feng Jun’s various thunder techniques.

The butterfly darted into the roadside bushes and, following that, five bolts of lightning struck down.

Then… it emerged again, dancing gracefully, while behind it in the bushes stood an upright section of angle iron.

That’s right, this was a lightning rod Hua Hua had made itself. It was very adept at learning — after all, half of its soul carried the thoughts of a Miao girl.

To tell the truth, it had been tormented by Feng Jun’s Falling Thunder Technique and Thunderclap Talismans, always thinking of ways to protect itself.

Xiao Wu played no small role in this matter. Though young, it had grown up in a city and felt the mighty power of thunder and lightning in the world. While shivering in fear, it also noticed the effects of lightning rods on buildings.

Hua Hua was quite intelligent. After a brief analysis, it roughly guessed the principles of the lightning rod. Not daring to let Feng Jun know it wanted to avoid lightning, it made its own rod.

This story might seem unbelievable, but it genuinely happened.

Some might question how a butterfly could create a proper ground connection for a lightning rod since it wasn’t an earthworm.

But digging was something Hua Hua excelled at. After all, it had been responsible for cultivation of spirit plants for many years and had grown accustomed to it…

All in all, it had been a tearful experience, but it had indeed survived the ordeal. Precision-guidance couldn’t entirely avoid being manipulated.

The Five Thunder Talisman was rendered useless, and Kou Laozhong, for a moment, was furious. He then produced another Five Thunder Talisman and directed it at Gazi.

Gazi, overcome with rage and frustration, felt he had done something wrong earlier. Perhaps the sniper rifle wasn’t the best choice, and maybe he should have used…

At the moment, he was unable to move and hadn’t anticipated that another thunder talisman would be used against him.

After the five lightning bolts struck, he was charred both inside and out, his consciousness floundering.

Kou Laozhong was all in. Unable to take the time to bind him with a spell, he deemed it worth wasting a Five Thunder Talisman.

Though he was heartbroken to use the talisman, he quickly adjusted his mood, thinking that as long as it hindered the enemy’s movement and he could deploy the Binding Immortal Rope, everything was worthwhile.

This trip outside the mountain had already yielded considerable gains. Now, his one desire was to capture this butterfly and make it suffer a thorough reckoning, or his mind wouldn’t rest, “You fiend, face my magical treasure!”

At that moment, a clap of thunder rang out from the clear sky, striking directly at the green Binding Immortal Rope.

A cold snort sounded from above, “Fellow Daoist, you act recklessly on my grounds. Have you thought about how you wish to die?”
