Chapter 39
In the eyes of mortals, immortal cultivators are extremely powerful, with the ability to move mountains, fill in the sea and enter and exit the blue netherworld.
However, the lives of true cultivators could be equally fragile.
Especially the Mortal Transformation and Qi Practicing Cultivators who accounted for more than 90% of the Immortal Cultivation World’s population.
If you don’t have a special skill or carry a powerful defense artifact, you will still be vulnerable in a surprise attack.
As usual, they could easily be killed in a surprise attack during a battle.
This young night watchman was exactly like that.
He did not have the slightest defense against the arrival of danger.
Therefore, when he was hit by the crossbow bolt that had been enchanted with a spell, it was too late for him to react in any way.
And there was no magic weapon to protect him.
Doomed to tragedy.
Puff!
An arrow sealed his throat and blood burst out!
The young cultivator’s eyes suddenly bulged, his throat cackled, and he fell headfirst to the ground.
A few drops of the blood spattered from his vital parts flew onto Wang Chuan, who was a few steps away!
And Wang Dust had a great sense of crisis before the crossbow arrows flew.
Without thinking, he slapped his palm on his waist.
On the right side of Wang Chen’s waist, there were storage pouches and talisman pouches hanging respectively.
The talisman bag, as its name implied, was a bag filled with talismans, and its function was to allow cultivators to inspire talismans at the fastest speed possible.
The first talisman that Wang Chen excited was precisely the Amulet of Protection!
Although his soul perception was frantically warning him, his heart was calm beyond imagination.
He even felt a sense of relief that “what should have come has finally come”!
When Wang Chen’s palm hit the talisman bag, pure mana instantly penetrated the thin fabric and was injected into the amulet.
A limpid cloud of spiritual light burst out steeply, covering his entire body.
At the same time, Wang Chen swung his left palm and slapped the other talisman bag hanging on his left waist.
This talisman bag contained the Armor Horse Talisman!
Another ball of spiritual light blossomed and merged into his body with the snap of a finger.
When Wang Dust successively excited two talismans with a lightning fast momentum, it was only when the spattered blood of the cultivator in front of him flew onto his body before being bounced off by the protective spiritual light.
Snort! Snort! Snort!
It was at this time that more crossbow arrows were shot from the darkness towards the Night Patrol Squad.
The arrows took lives!
Guo Ping, who was located in front of Wang Chen’s right side, suddenly dodged behind a young cultivator.
He skillfully avoided the two crossbow arrows that were shot at him.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The young cultivator in front of him, who was being used as a shield, was hit by three crossbow arrows almost simultaneously.
One in the face, one in the chest, and one in the lower abdomen, all penetrating the body!
The Cloud Light Dharma Robe that the guards had been issued with, surprisingly, was not able to play half of the defensive role.
This scene just happened to fall into Wang Chen’s eyes.
“Protect!”
His heart was unperturbed as he raised his right palm in front of his body.
Along with a deep shout, a flowing mana shield suddenly condensed.
It blocked a sharp arrow that was shot at him.
As a body protection spell at the middle level of Qi cultivation, the Spirit Light Shield Armor could freely switch between “Shield” and “Armor”.
Among them, the “Shield” state had the strongest defensive power.
[Aura Shield Armor – Experience + 1]
[Aura Shield Armor (Proficient): 0/200]
Wang Dust ignored the message that popped up in his vision and flew backward violently.
Continuing to stay in the group would be an easy target for a fire set.
There was also the possibility of being used as a shield by Guo Ping.
As the saying goes, you don’t know the person you’re talking to.
This team mate usually acted enthusiastically and looked concerned and caring to the team members.
When it came to the moment of crisis, he decisively and incomparably made the choice that was most favorable to himself.
Utilizing one of the team members bought himself reaction time.
Wang Dust was glad to be walking at the very back of the team, otherwise this team member’s downfall could possibly be his own!
“The wind is coming!”
Wang Dust had just pulled away when a thunderous roar came from the front of the team.
Yao Mingjie, who was at the forefront, had his beard and hair all agape, his eyes were round and red, and his eyes were filled with violent anger and hostility.
This captain unfolded his arms, and violent gusts of wind suddenly whistled to his left and right.
The incoming crossbow arrows were all blown away.
Just now, it was also Yao Mingjie who made a timely move, blocking many of the first wave of incoming crossbow arrows.
Protecting a number of team members behind him.
Above his head, a mass of dark clouds converged and tumbled at an astonishing speed, sweeping towards the front!
“Thunder comes!”
In the next moment, a thunder beam as thick as an arm descended from the sky, its shining light illuminating a large area.
The sneak attacker’s figure was instantly exposed.
“Ah!”
Miserable screams followed.
At least three of the sneak attackers were struck by the falling lightning and turned into charcoal on the spot.
The might of the High Qi Practicing Stage was displayed to the fullest in this strike!
“Dot zapper, side by side!”
The sneak attacker was very ferocious, immediately multiple black shadows pounced on Yao Mingjie at the same time.
Snowy blades cut through the darkness.
At the same time, a long fire whip broke through the air and lashed out fiercely towards the night watchman behind Yao Mingjie.
The enemy had set up a formation that was actually intended to completely annihilate the Fourth Night Watch Squad!
The Night Watch squad, which had been caught in complete passivity from the start, was already in disarray.
Several rookie night watchmen fled in all directions in fear, and some of them even cried and shouted.
As a result, several black shadows chased after them and waved their swords to cut them over one by one.
Like cutting melons and chopping vegetables!
Yao Mingjie was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The enemy had obviously ambushed here long ago, and under the storm, he was left with a strong spell but did not dare to cast it recklessly, so as not to accidentally injure the people in the night watch behind him.
As a result, the team members that he had tried his best to protect had behaved so poorly!
Unable to do anything else, Yao Mingjie could only break out with all his might.
These rookies, he really couldn’t lead them anymore!
And Wang Dust, who had already retreated backwards at this moment, also encountered a new crisis.
A black figure chased towards him at high speed.
The waving blade flashed with a regal cold light, vaguely illuminating a cool and stiff face.
As well as a body dressed in black.
The speed of the opponent’s stance was astonishing, and Wang Chen was still caught up by it in the blink of an eye despite the Armored Horse Talisman.
He felt bad and immediately stopped in his tracks.
Gathering ten percent of his mana in the fingers of his right sword, he stabbed out towards the attacker!
Seeing Wang Chen’s stance, a sneer flashed across the black-clothed cultivator’s eyes.
A mere rookie at the fourth level of Qi Practicing, how dare he effect a mantis?
He swung the battle knife in his hand and chopped at Wang Chen’s neck like lightning.
The black-clothed cultivator was completely confident that he could cut through the protective aura of this Qi Practicing junior cultivator and decapitate the other party’s head.
As for Wang Chen’s counterattack, the black-clothed cultivator didn’t give it a second thought.
Sixth level of Qi cultivation versus fourth level of Qi cultivation, a veteran bandit versus a rookie novice, he would be counted as a loser if he hurt even a single hair on his head!
However, just as his blade came out, a flash of powerful golden qi suddenly came into his eyes.
His eyebrows stung, and his consciousness instantly fell into boundless darkness!
How could it be?
The last thought in the black-clothed cultivator’s life died out before it could fully emerge!
Boom!
A cloud of dust and mist burst out, spreading in all directions in an instant.
It completely obscured the line of sight.
Wang Dust, who had just struck the Dust and Smoke Talisman, leaned down and took off the black-clothed cultivator’s waist storage bag.
Turned his head and ran!
