Chapter 893 Plotting to Seize Fortune and Prosperity, The World-Shaking Golden Hammer
"Brother Zhongming, are you sure this is the place?"
On a mountain path, three martial artists gathered together, all looking towards the distant peak.
The leader was a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He wore a white robe with light gold trim, his long hair was tied up high, and his clothes moved with the wind as he walked, showing his carefree attitude.
This person is Zhong Ming, from Wudu, of noble status, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level.
That's right. Although he wasn't in the top ten, it's only because the top ten required four people from other martial cities.
If ranked by cultivation level and strength, there are at least eight geniuses in Wudu who have reached the seventh level, and even more experts at the sixth level, numbering in the double digits.
This is the fundamental difference between Wudu and the four major martial cities. Wudu's geniuses, in terms of both quality and quantity, are absolutely the leaders.
Behind Zhong Ming were a young man and a young woman.
The girl who just asked the question is named Luo Xue, and her cultivation level is at the fifth stage.
Another silent youth was named Luo Yin, who underwent six cycles of Nirvana.
These two are siblings. The reason they followed Zhong Ming was because they had obtained some inside information before the start of the Mitian Dharma Assembly.
"Are we really not going to hunt demons?" Luo Xue asked again.
Zhong Ming smiled confidently and said nonchalantly, "Uncle asked me to lead you, naturally because he understands the pros and cons. More important than rankings is gaining tangible benefits from this Dharma Assembly. The Fortune Pearl is a specialty of the Dragon-Protecting Blessed Land and a crystallization of the Wu Dynasty's national fortune. Obtaining this will be of greater help to us."
"As expected of Brother Zhongming, you made preparations well in advance. It is also thanks to your Soul Lamp that we were able to reunite so quickly."
"It's just a small trick. You and I aren't the only ones who know how important the Fortune Pearl is. People from the Martial Dynasty have a lot of information about it. If we're one step ahead, others will be one step behind. After all, very few people would give up their rankings like we have."
Zhong Ming grinned, his eyes burning with desire.
That's right, the three of them entered the blessed land with the primary goal of seizing the Fortune and Prosperity Pearl; everything else was completely unimportant.
Therefore, none of the three had a demonic mark on their arms.
At this moment, Luo Yin, who had been silent, nodded and said, "Thanks to Grandpa Zhong for providing the Hun Tian Na Fu Yi, we found the first Fortune and Prosperity Pearl so quickly."
As he spoke, he glanced at the artifact in Zhong Ming's hand that resembled a celestial globe.
It is the Luo family's most treasured item, and its sole function is to find good fortune and receive blessings. It sounds mysterious, but its effects are outstanding.
"Let's go now without delay!" Luo Xue said excitedly.
Zhong Ming nodded, and the three of them immediately flew towards the high mountain.
Meanwhile, at the mountain spring, Pang Jinchui sat on the grass, holding up a barbecue skewer with six small spirit fish on it in one hand, and carefully grilling them with a real fire burning in the other.
Ye Kang also took out the seasonings and sprinkled a little on every now and then.
A moment later, the spirit fish barbecue was finished. The two of them each tried one, and sure enough, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish meat melted in their mouths, and a touch of spiritual energy flowed into their bodies, making them exclaim with delight.
Ye Kang then gave the remaining spirit fish to Pang Jinchui, while he himself used his primordial spirit to scan the spirit spring.
"This is the third time. Apart from the spirit fish, I haven't seen any beads in the spring. Could it be that the little dog is mistaken?"
Ye Kang looked puzzled. The first thing they did upon arriving here was to look for the Fortune Pearl, but they found nothing. No matter how much their primordial spirit investigated, they couldn't find any treasure.
But the mutated demon hound would never deceive him, because the Soul Spirit is absolutely loyal.
That's why Ye Kang suspected that the demon hound had misread it.
"Perhaps underground?"
Pang Jinchui chewed on a small fish while pointing underwater.
Ye Kang nodded: "Wait a moment."
After saying this, he immediately transformed into a stream of water and merged into the spring.
He can escape the lightness of rivers and seas, transforming his body into water to roam the rivers and seas.
Pang Jinchui was completely stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Kang to have so many tricks up his sleeve, even including water escape techniques.
She couldn't help but feel a little envious, after all, she didn't know how to do anything except hit people with a hammer.
Ye Kang then saw a completely new world. As soon as he used Water Release, countless rays of good fortune appeared before his eyes.
These lights are hidden in the water, but they cannot be seen from the outside, not even by merging one's primordial spirit into the water.
Ye Kang can see it now because Jiang Haiqing made him blend into the water source as much as possible.
At this moment, when he activated his primordial spirit again, he saw that the auspicious light actually moved closer to him and merged into one strand by strand.
Ye Kang suddenly understood that the Fortune and Prosperity Beads had always been there, just not in the form of beads.
It requires someone to use special means to absorb these lucky lights in order to transform them into a true lucky charm.
This is too difficult, Ye Kang couldn't help but sigh.
If other martial artists were to pass by, they probably wouldn't even notice the existence of the Fortune Pearl, thus missing out on this opportunity.
But it was precisely because of his close experience with these blessings that Ye Kang changed his previous opinion.
It seems that these fortunes are indeed related to the fate of the Wu Dynasty, but they are completely different things.
National fortune is intangible and cannot be materialized. These fortunes are more like blessings collected by the protective land itself, which are manifested through the national fortune.
In other words, the Fortune Beads really do work!
【Ding】
[Task Released: Collect Blessings]
[Task Requirements: Collect Fortune Pearls and integrate them into the Jade Realm. This will not only elevate the Jade Realm's world status but also benefit the host.]
[Mission Reward: One item per episode, rewarding the host with 1000000 Comprehension Points]
"It has such a wonderful use! This thing will be of great use to me!"
Ye Kang was immediately invigorated. It could improve comprehension and enhance the small world; it was practically an all-around resource!
Just as he was about to accelerate the condensation, a furious roar suddenly came from the sky.
"Who goes there! Get out of my way!"
Ye Kang and Pang Jinchui looked at each other at the same time.
Three figures flew in, their faces filled with anger and shock.
what happened!
How could anyone be faster than me!
Zhong Ming never expected that someone else would get there first. Could it be that he wasn't the only one who had the treasure to search for good fortune?
But that's not right, these two guys aren't martial artists from Wudu at all.
Especially that Pang Jinchui, everyone knows she's a pure fighting brute, all strength and no brains, how could she possibly come looking for Fu Luzhu on her own initiative!
"Damn it! Get out of here right now!"
Zhong Ming's tone turned serious, full of warning.
Pang Jinchui looked completely bewildered: "Who are you? Why are you kicking us out?"
Ye Kang then dispelled his escape technique and returned to the shore, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He could naturally tell that the three of them had clearly discovered something, otherwise their reaction wouldn't have been so strong.
So, the Fortune Pearl isn't a secret after all?
That's interesting. No wonder the system is so generous; apparently, there are people vying for it.
Ye Kang calmly said, "Fellow Daoist He Fang, we were here first."
"How dare you! You're just a second-stage trash, who would call you a fellow Daoist!" Luo Xue roared with a gloomy face, feeling as if she had been humiliated.
How dare such a weakling ask a question? Who gave him the courage?
They didn't care who the other party was. As long as they weren't martial artists from Wudu, there was no need to worry. They could just drive them away.
Such a precious treasure as the Fortune Pearl is only something that people from Wudu are qualified to receive.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's face darkened.
These three guys are really infuriating. I've already been nice to them, but they still don't appreciate it.
There's no other way then; we'll just have to set up the formation quickly.
The Moon-Entwining Heavenly Silk was ready to be unleashed, but at that moment, Pang Jinchui suddenly finished the last bite of the spirit fish, and then with a flick of his short legs, he stood up.
She picked up the large hammer from the ground, wiping her mouth as she said, "I don't know you, but no one can bully me or my friends."
Zhong Ming and the other two immediately frowned.
Ye Kang and the others didn't care, but this Pang Jinchui was indeed difficult to deal with.
Although he came from Wuyue City, he was only at the peak of the sixth level, which was still a step below Zhong Ming's cultivation.
But she is, after all, the number one person in Wuyue City. It is said that she can rival the seventh level with a sixth-level cultivation, and her attack power is terrifying.
If a fight were to break out, it would probably take the three of them quite a bit of effort to resolve it.
Even so, we cannot back down now. We finally found the first Fortune Pearl. If someone else gets there first, wouldn't that be just as unpleasant as eating something else?
Zhong Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Pang Jinchui, I know you are powerful, but we are not pushovers either. This place is of great use to us. Give us some face and leave here. Everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Pang Jinchui suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Kang.
The latter quickly transmitted his voice, saying, "They want to steal the Fortune Pearl."
Pang Jinchui was furious. The Fortune Pearl was given to her by Ye Kang, so it was hers!
Trying to steal from me is unforgivable!
She immediately leaped into the air, wielding the sledgehammer with both hands, and smashed it down without hesitation.
In an instant, the hammer unleashed a terrifying shockwave, transforming into a hundred-foot-long shadow in the air, crashing down with immense force.
At this moment, Zhong Ming and the other two were stunned.
Is this guy crazy?!
We didn't make the first move, so why did she do it first? Are all the martial artists in Wuyue City this domineering?
"you wanna die!"
Zhong Ming roared and thrust out a palm with one hand. With his seventh-level cultivation, he was confident that he could block this blow.
However, the next second, the hammer shadow crashed down, the immense force instantly shattering the palm shadow and crushing Zhong Ming's true energy with overwhelming force.
The three were completely unprepared for this and immediately scattered to avoid it, but they were still affected by the monstrous waves carried by the hammer shadow.
Three muffled groans were heard, and the three men, as if they had really been hit by a hammer, felt a tightness in their chests and shortness of breath, and each coughed up blood.
"So strong!"
"What kind of power is this? It's simply incomprehensible!"
The Luo siblings were both devastated; their faces were pale and their hearts were pounding.
Their cultivation levels were weaker; if they had faced that hammer blow head-on, they would probably have been crippled.
Luo Yin, in particular, was extremely depressed.
How could there be such a huge difference between two martial artists who are both practicing the same skill?
Not only them, but even Ye Kang couldn't help but swallow hard.
Good heavens, I wouldn't dare to take this blow head-on. This is definitely not the kind of power a sixth-level cultivator could unleash.
No wonder Pang Jinchui became the number one person in Wuyue City; those who were not convinced were probably all defeated and subdued by him.
At this moment, the situation changed drastically, and Zhong Ming's face turned ashen. He had misjudged Pang Jinchui's strength; this guy was not so easy to defeat!
"Luo Yin! Use the Infinite Sand!"
"Wait! Should we still fight?"
"Otherwise what? Do you want to see the Fortune Pearl change hands?"
"understood."
With a thought, Luo Yin produced a simple little bag in his hand.
He opened the bag, and instantly an endless sandstorm blew out of it, as if a sandstorm had been created out of thin air, with tremendous force.
This is a treasure of the Luo family, containing boundless sandstorms. Once unleashed, it will unleash a thousand miles of yellow sand and a raging wind, leaving opponents nowhere to hide.
Sure enough, Pang Jinchui was immediately blown away by the strong wind.
But the next second, countless spider silk threads wrapped around her waist, firmly holding her body in place.
"what!"
The Luo siblings were shocked to see that the second-tier boy they had ignored was standing steadily in the sandstorm. Not only was he not blown away, but he was also strolling around leisurely, moving his fingers slightly to control countless spider silks and saving Pang Jinchui.
This left the three people on the other side in disbelief.
After all, even someone as powerful as Pang Jinchui suffered a fatal blow upon first meeting, utterly powerless to resist.
How could a mere second turn withstand the raging winds in the endless sand?
However, they could not have imagined that using sandstorms in front of Ye Kang would not only be incredibly effective, but would at least be like throwing lambs to the slaughter.
He actually does possess a sand escape technique.
Phantom Sandstorm allows him to traverse the desert as if it were flat ground, and even a mere sandstorm can create a terrain out of thin air for him.
Ye Kang appeared to be standing still, but in reality, he had already used a teleportation technique to blend into the incoming sandstorm.
At the same time, he slightly moved his fingers and swung Pang Jinchui, the other end of the spider silk, like a meteor hammer. Pang Jinchui felt the wind rushing past his ears and the world spinning around him.
But her abnormally strong fighting instincts made her raise her hammer without hesitation and sweep it away.
This scene terrified Zhong Ming and his two companions. They never imagined that there could be a combined attack technique!
"Damn it! Retreat!"
Zhong Ming shouted and immediately fled, but Luo Yin had to maintain the Infinite Sand and couldn't shut it off for a moment. In just a moment of hesitation, Pang Jin's hammer was already thrown over and swept fiercely.
At the critical moment, Luo Yin finally managed to collect the Infinite Sand, followed by a wave of killing intent. He instinctively retreated, but was still struck by a corner of the hammer.
Boom!
His protective aura was shattered, and Luo Yin was sent flying far away like a kite with a broken string, before crashing into a nearby mountain.
"elder brother!"
Luo Xue was shocked and immediately flew over to check the situation.
At this moment, Luo Yin was already embedded in the mountain. He was not a body-tempering martial artist to begin with, and after enduring such a terrifying blow, his blood and qi were boiling, and he was seriously injured and could not even stand up to fight.
Pang Jinchui landed steadily, then turned around and gave Ye Kang a thumbs up.
Ye Kang smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was utterly horrified.
This Pang Jinchui's combat instincts are simply outrageous. Despite it being their first time working together, she managed to hit the target perfectly, which is unbelievable.
After all, they had to withstand the sandstorm and the pressure of three people's true energy. There were too many variables, yet they still managed to coordinate so well. Pang Jinchui was truly remarkable.
