"Damn it, what is going on?" Although Brother Huang was filled with confusion, he knew there was no more time to think it through. The dark clouds were already looming closer, and there was no way to avoid it; he could only brace himself for the impact.
Nothing was more important than his own life. A resolute look flashed in Brother Huang's eyes. In an instant, he took out a small golden bell from his storage ring and tossed it into the air. The golden bell began to spin rapidly, radiating brilliant light that illuminated the dark sky and sea.
The bell eventually transformed into a massive bell of intertwined light, enveloping Brother Huang within it.
Almost simultaneously, the dark clouds collided with the giant bell.
"Boom!" A tremendous sound echoed through the heavens and earth, causing Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi to shudder. The collision between the dark clouds and the golden bell produced a massive shockwave that even affected the sea, creating towering waves that surged away from the point of impact.
Following that collision, the ninth bolt of Tribulation Thunder, which Black Cloud Mang had been enduring, struck the golden bell.
In an instant, golden and blue lights intertwined in the sky, flickering continuously with thunderous roars.
This strike from Black Cloud Mang could be considered a desperate attempt; however, after crashing into the golden bell, he lost half of his life. Then, being pursued by the Tribulation Thunder from behind, he was struck again and fell lifelessly into the sea.
The golden bell also cracked under the impact of the Tribulation Thunder, its dazzling light dimming significantly.
Seeing Black Cloud Mang fall, the sword cultivators who had been avoiding him rushed forward.
Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi merely watched from a distance without participating. Even if Brother Huang had died, they were no match for those sword cultivators and would not foolishly join in. Besides, Brother Huang might not even be dead yet.
"Uh..." Sure enough, with a soft grunt and a sound like eggshells cracking, the golden bell shattered into countless golden fragments that fell into the water.
As the light faded away, although Brother Huang's face was pale, he still had a faint life force. However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that he could not hide the pain etched on his face.
"Get back!" Brother Huang weakly called out to the sword cultivators fighting over Black Cloud Mang's corpse.
However, upon hearing his faint voice, the evil sword cultivators dared not disobey and quickly dispersed. Their expressions varied; a few sword cultivators soon flew over to Brother Huang with concerned tones asking, "Brother Huang, are you alright? Look! We got Black Cloud Mang's corpse! Haha!"
Brother Huang glanced at them; he knew exactly what they were thinking.
It was only because they had nothing to worry about that they pretended to flatter. If they really had something going on, those people would have rushed to claim the corpse long ago. No! Now it was a Jiao corpse!
Huang Shixiong paid no attention to the Sword Cultivators and glanced with satisfaction at the Black Cloud Python that had already grown a horn. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly collected it and said, "Alright, I will take this Black Cloud Jiao's corpse. We can discuss how to distribute it when we get back! There should be plenty of good things in the Black Cloud Python's cave as well; let's go tidy up there."
After saying that, he flew towards the direction of the cave.
At this moment, Nan Jianjun had also successfully broken through to the early stage of Out-of-Body. Seeing the Sword Cultivators heading towards the Black Cloud Python's lair, he flew over to Ling Mo Xie and said, "Let's go too!"
"Mm!" Ling Mo Xie nodded. He looked at Huang Shixiong's back with a hint of disappointment, but thinking that the golden bell was still a good treasure, even if it was consumed by him, it somewhat alleviated his resentment.
With this thought, Ling Mo Xie regained his calm demeanor and followed Nan Jianjun into the Black Cloud Python's cave along with Hong Chi.
At this time, those Sword Cultivators were crowding around Huang Shixiong. Under Huang Shixiong's direction, they were happily collecting treasures. By the time Ling Mo Xie and the others entered, they were almost done; there were hardly any items left in the entire cave.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie and the others come in, Huang Shixiong turned his head and glanced at them, saying, "Don't look anymore; these are all our spoils of war. If you want something, bring something to trade!"
"Exactly! You should thank Nan Shidi properly. If it weren't for Nan Shidi, you would have been cut down by us long ago; how could you enjoy such a sight?" Hearing Huang Shixiong's words, the Sword Cultivators around him quickly echoed and mocked Ling Mo Xie.
Huang Shixiong felt pleased hearing the agreement from the surrounding Sword Cultivators. He laughed heartily and disdainfully glanced at Ling Mo Xie. He extended his hand, revealing a small green grass with nine Snake-shaped Curved Leaves that resembled various forms of snakes. Upon closer inspection, it bore some resemblance to the Black Cloud Python. At its tip was a small purple ball that looked like both a fruit and a legendary Dragon Ball, albeit very small.
"This is what you wanted, right? So what are you planning to trade for it?" Huang Shixiong asked Ling Mo Xie with a smirk of disdain on his lips.
This Spiritual Medicine required Alchemy to be used; it was of no use to him, but he certainly wouldn't give it away for free to Ling Mo Xie.
"I..." Nan Jianjun was about to speak but was interrupted by Ling Mo Xie.
"I'll trade this for it. How about that? After all, this Spiritual Medicine isn't much use to you; it's better to exchange it for Refining Materials." Ling Mo Xie took out the Refining Materials he had obtained from previous missions and said to Huang Shixiong.
He had originally planned to use those materials to craft equipment for himself, but since he hadn't gathered enough materials yet, it would be better to directly defeat monsters for equipment instead; trading these materials for Dragon Snake Grass was also acceptable.
When Huang Shixiong saw the materials Ling Mo Xie took out, his expression brightened. He originally intended to use the Dragon Bone of the Black Cloud Jiao to refine a Flying Sword, but just the bones of the Black Cloud Jiao alone wouldn't suffice. So, upon seeing the materials Ling Mo Xie presented, he was immediately intrigued.
Among those materials were several high-grade items, all rewards from Ling Mo Xie's missions.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie take out these materials, Nan Jianjun turned in surprise to glance at him.
In his impression, Ling Mo Xie was just a young man from a small family in Izumo Kingdom; how could he possibly possess such high-grade refining materials?
Indeed, it had only been three days since they last met, and he was seeing him in a new light!
However, Huang Shixiong did not immediately agree. He rolled his eyes, cleared his throat lightly, and said, "These materials are good, but I am a core disciple of the Xianjian Sect. For me, it's not that I can't get them. How about this: you see if you have any other good items that catch my eye; if you do, I'll trade with you!"
Although he was already interested, he couldn't help but want to squeeze more out of this seemingly naive person from a small place who had actually managed to bring out some treasures.
Ling Mo Xie heard Huang Shixiong's words and sneered inwardly; truly greedy!
However, he put on a bitter smile and said, "Alas! Brother, to be honest with you, these refining materials were passed down from my ancestors. Otherwise, how would someone from this small place ever come across any treasures? Let alone possess them. I only brought these high-grade materials out because I have no use for them; where would I find any other treasures to show you?"
Hmph! Don't you look down on people from my small place? Then I'll just play along with your words!
Ling Mo Xie thought sarcastically in his heart while showing a sorrowful expression on his face as he looked at Huang Shixiong and said, "Alas! Since we can't make a trade, I don't want to trouble Sword Lord anymore; let's forget it!"
After saying that, Ling Mo Xie put away the refining materials and turned as if to leave.
He dared to do this because he sensed that Huang Shixiong was already interested in what he had brought out. Otherwise, no matter what, he still wanted to obtain the Nine-Leaf Dragon Snake Herb!
Nan Jianjun was taken aback by Ling Mo Xie's words but quickly reacted. He naturally didn't believe Ling Mo Xie's claims since he knew the background of the Ling Family; they weren't refiners and wouldn't have inherited any refining materials from their ancestors. Thus, he remained silent and stood aside.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's actions, Huang Shixiong was momentarily stunned. When he realized that Ling Mo Xie really intended to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Aren't you in need of this Dragon Snake Grass?"
"Ah, I need it, but I don't have anything valuable left. I guess I should think of another way!" Ling Mo Xie said without looking back, waving goodbye to Nan Jianjun: "See you again!"
Hmph, I don't believe it. I need Dragon Snake Grass; don't you need Refining Materials?
"Hey, wait!" Huang Shixiong suddenly called out after thinking for a moment.
They are from the Sword Cultivation Sect, and no one there practices Alchemy. This Spiritual Medicine, which must be refined into Elixir to be useful, is as good as Waste to them. If he could use this to exchange for some Refining Materials that he could actually use, it would be a profit in his eyes!
"What’s wrong? Are you really willing to trade with me?" Ling Mo Xie smiled inwardly and turned to Huang Shixiong to ask.
Huang Shixiong snorted coldly: "What gives you the right to call me Huang Shixiong? However, I do happen to be short on some Refining Materials lately, so exchanging with you wouldn't be a problem!"
After saying that, he directly threw the Nine-Leaf Dragon Snake Herb towards Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie didn't mind his condescension. He caught the Dragon Snake Grass and handed over the Refining Materials to one of the Sword Cultivators who came forward.
Glancing at Huang Shixiong, from the Xianjian Sect, huh? What does it matter if you're Brother Huang? You’re still just a greenhorn!
You can flaunt your arrogance now, but sooner or later, I'll come knocking on your door and make you regret it!
This is just too arrogant. It’s usually me, Ling Mo Xie, who is arrogant; how can anyone else act so brazenly in front of me? First, they want to kill me without reason, then they mock and belittle me. If I weren't unable to defeat you right now, you'd know why flowers are so red!
Ling Mo Xie muttered bitterly in his heart. If thoughts could kill, Huang Shixiong would have died countless times already!
