Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 175 - 118: Invincible Vajra

With a gesture, Chen Yi threw an empty bottle, implying that he had secretly taken the Detoxification Pill. This was to cover up the special attributes of his Turtle Breath Magical Power.

"Chen Yi, can you still fight? If the two of us can distract him, our family should be able to arrive in a moment," Zhao Chengjing's face expressed both surprise and hope, from a desperate belief in any sliver of hope.

"Hmph, naive disciple, is it foolish to expect a newly initiated Fourth layer of Qi refining, turtle cultivator, to save you? Can he even withstand a finger strike from me?" scoffed Old Qiu, as he manipulated the Yellow Rope Magic Tool with both hands.

Suddenly,

A purple shadow, summoned by Old Qiu, sprang from under Chen Yi's feet, lunging towards him!

"Hmph, I've been waiting for this," Chen Yi replied, feigning innocence.

Despite having stayed on the ground all this time, Chen Yi was ready for a fight, his heart focused on the array method, constantly seeking the Purple Mink.

Just a moment ago, he detected a faint Land Attribute Cultivation Power fluctuation beneath his feet.

This allowed him to lock onto the Purple Sand Mink,

and so, he was ready for an early defense.

As soon as the Purple Mink dashed out of the ground, racing towards Chen Yi, and as the purple light on its claw began to glow, Chen Yi immediately threw a punch that he had prepared ahead of time.

With a thump, it landed right on the Purple Mink's forehead!

Thud! The cat-sized Purple Mink was immediately sent flying into a pit dug on the ground.

"Ouch~ "

The Purple Mink let out a cry of pain and, in fear, gave Chen Yi a glance before dizzily burrowing into the ground to hide.

"You are actually a Body Cultivator?!"

Old Qiu was somewhat taken aback.

The Purple Sand Mink, a first tier Spirit Beast sent by the Wu Family to assist him, had the equivalent power of a Sixth Layer Qi refining.

In addition to the innate ability of Demon Beasts to both cultivate their physical bodies and magic together, the usual Mid-stage Qi Refining was unable to ward off a sneak attack from it.

Despite Chen Yi being prepared in advance, to be able to repel the Purple Sand Mink with a single punch, suggested he was at least at the Second Layer of the Body Cultivators.

No wonder he could resist the poison of the Hundred Spirit Decay. This poison was lethal to mana-users, but harmless to the physical body.

"Pesky boy,"

Old Qiu's brows furrowed. Body Cultivators were tough and durable; easy to defeat, yet hard to kill.

Now that he was on Zhao Family Island, sticking around wasn't ideal.

In order to increase the pressure on Zhao Chengjing, Old Qiu split his attention, pulling out a Silver Ruler.

Whoosh!

A flash of silver, and the ruler was right in front of Chen Yi in an instant.

Although Chen Yi's Vajra Eight Steps could dodge the attack, the speed of a person was no match for a magical tool. Hence, he decided to play it safe,

Chen Yi unleashed a golden Bell-shaped Magic Tool. The tool expanded in size as it was met with the wind, reaching the height of a person in an instant, blocking Chen Yi's path.

It was indeed the mid-grade magical tool, the Copper-Gold Bell.

Bang!

The silver ruler collided with the bell, creating a harsh, reverberating sound. This rattled everyone within, making their heads spin.

However, as Chen Yi was a Third Layer Body Cultivator, and even Zhao Chengjing was a First Layer Body Cultivator, the two recovered relatively quickly.

On the other hand, Old Qiu felt disoriented due to the ringing, causing his control over the Yellow Rope to slacken slightly.

"Opportunity!"

Grabbing hold of this rare opportunity, Zhao Chengjing pulled out a top-quality Fire Snake Talisman and set it aflame without hesitation,

A three-foot-long, crimson red fire snake immediately coiled around the yellow rope.

There isn't a string-type magic tool that isn't afraid of fire.

In just a moment, the Mana covering the yellow rope began to rapidly fade.

Had Old Qiu not reacted promptly to retrieve his magic tool, the yellow rope might have been ruined.

The fire snake followed the retracted yellow rope and targeted Old Qiu.

On the other side, Chen Yi was hiding behind the Copper-Gold Bell. The Silver Ruler's attack didn't affect him much,

After all, Old Qiu did not dare to hit too hard, as the rebound from the bell toll was more than what he could handle.

The fire snake was blocked by Old Qiu's Mana Shield, creating sizzling noises. The shield shuddered, and its light dimmed further.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Chengjing gritted his teeth and channeled most of her Mana. The blue dagger at her feet began glowing brightly once again,

It rose in the air, emitting a continuous blue flame, and turned into a glowing arc, shooting towards Old Qiu.

This strike, concentrated with most of Zhao Chengjing's Mana, was as strong as a blow from a Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

"Good use of opportunity,"

Chen Yi secretly nodded, seeing the young lady seize the chance when Old Qiu had been briefly suppressed and managed to launch a decent counterattack.

At that moment, Old Qiu was controlling the Yellow Rope and the Silver Ruler, and he didn't have any extra power to manipulate other magical instruments. Seeing the blue dagger flying towards him, he had no choice but to recall the Silver Ruler in an attempt to intercept it.

However, one was a prepared strike, and the other was a hasty defense,

In his haste, the Silver Ruler only managed to deflect the blue dagger slightly,

With a clang, it nudged the blue dagger aside,

But the edge of the blue dagger still pierced Old Qiu's shield,

Crack,

The shield barely deflected the blue dagger, but a small hole appeared on it.

Old Qiu sighed with relief, barely blocking the attack.

Just as he was about to control the Yellow Rope and the Silver Ruler to launch another attack,

Suddenly,

A whooshing sound was heard!

A shadowy line had somehow made its way in front of Old Qiu.

"Rascal, you actually used a hidden weapon!"

In the instant when Old Qiu hadn't yet had time to repair the hole in his shield,

The Shadow Needle had already pierced through the hole, aiming straight at his heart!

Terrified, he barely managed to manipulate the shield to block the attack while quickly twisting his body to dodge it.

Fortunately, within the Mana Shield, the Shadow Needle was affected, giving Old Qiu a chance to dodge it.
