Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 204 Double Happiness
"It went even more smoothly than I expected...and I even saved money!"

On the way back, Chen Li felt a great weight lifted from his heart as he looked at the scrolls in the storage bag, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care at all about the loss of face.

He should even be thankful that he encountered the naive and well-protected Ding Jian, rather than some seasoned veteran. Otherwise, even if he had obtained the subsequent techniques, he would probably have been skinned alive. Compared to that, being ridiculed was a negligible price to pay.

"I wonder how much inheritance his ancestor left him..."

Remembering Ding Jian's nonchalant attitude towards spirit stones, Chen Li felt a surge of anger: "He's fucking rich!"

Just then, a streak of light flew from afar, and an old man in a gray robe shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please wait! I come from out of town and would like to ask if this is the territory of the Nascent Soul sect, the Fire Cloud Sect?"

A warning bell rang in Chen Li's mind.

Without a second thought, he quickly changed direction, and at the same time, he pushed the Rainbow Transformation Technique to its limit, instantly increasing his speed by another three points.

Although the Rainbow Transformation Technique is only a second-tier, first-level spell, once it is mastered to the maximum level, it is comparable to a second-tier, fifth-level spell. Its speed is unmatched even by a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator wielding a second-tier, high-grade magic weapon.

The two quickly distanced themselves from each other.

"Hey, hey, don't go! Fellow Daoist, you're overthinking it..." the gray-robed old man shouted from behind.

really.

Not long ago.

Chen Li then noticed two more streaks of light flying towards him from the left and right. One of them was incredibly fast, and it turned out to be a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The cultivator chased after them for a while, but then, seemingly afraid of something going wrong, he had no choice but to give up.

If Chen Li hadn't been vigilant, they would have almost been surrounded.

……

"They actually dared to rob me..."

After escaping danger.

Chen Li became angrier the more he thought about it.

He flew obediently the whole way, without bothering or offending anyone, yet he still couldn't help but be bothered by others.

Chen Li glanced at the mountains below.

It flew down rapidly.

He took out a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills from his storage bag, saw that there were three pills left in the bottle, tilted his head back and swallowed them. Then he changed his appearance and began to cast a spell quickly.

Heaven and earth resonated, magical power surged forth, and one after another, illusory bodies appeared out of thin air.

Soon, four illusory figures, each wearing the same robes but with distinct features, appeared before him:
"Surround and kill? As if anyone can't do that."

next moment.

The four illusory figures suddenly took flight, transforming into four streaks of light that quickly disappeared from sight.

The true form, remaining in place, continued casting spells.

After performing an underground technique.

He quickly disappeared from the spot and disappeared underground.

……

At this moment, the three cultivators had already gathered together.

"We've been waiting for ages, and finally one of them showed up, only to escape again. Old Fei, you must have been too hasty and slipped up just now," one of the tall, middle-aged cultivators said coldly.

"How can you blame me? The other party was too wary. I had barely opened my mouth when the person started to run away," Old Xiu, known as Fei the Elder, complained.

"Alright, you two stop arguing. This place is no longer safe. Let's find another spot." The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator said, looking left and right, a vague unease creeping into his heart, as if danger was imminent.

"Heh, still thinking of leaving! No, none of you will leave." Just then, a strange, cold voice suddenly rang out, sounding unlike a human voice:

The three of them felt a chill run down their spines and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a figure appear suddenly not far away, like a ghost.

when?
It actually managed to deceive the Foundation Establishment Divine Sense!

"Make your move!" the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted.

Not a single word wasted.

The instant he shouted, he summoned a cyan flying sword, which transformed into a streak of light and pierced straight towards him.

The other two were a beat slower, but they coordinated perfectly, swiftly and decisively summoning their magical artifacts, clearly having done this many times before. One was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the other two at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; in Chen Li's eyes now, that was about it. Seeing the approaching artifacts, he didn't even bother using his Water Element Shield. With a short, indistinct syllable, a blinding flash of light suddenly erupted from his eyes.

It was as if another sun had risen over the ground.

The next moment, the illusory body was pierced by the magical artifact and disintegrated into specks of light, disappearing from the spot.

However, this was just a bait.

The real blow has only just begun.

The blinding flash of light had not yet faded.

The other three illusory forms that had been hidden to the side had already revealed themselves, and their spells were nearing their end.

When it comes to encirclement and killing, he's the real expert.

Learning from the lesson of using True Fire Technique to kill the remnants of the Heavenly Star Sect last time, which resulted in the destruction of his storage bag and robe, Chen Li released "Giant Sound Technique" this time.

Although the Great Voice Technique is only a second-tier, first-level spell, and its maximum level is only second-tier, fifth-level, its power is limited.

But one isn't enough; you can stack three at the same time.

Then, unleash a fully upgraded "Battle Cry".

Chen Li had experimented with it many times.

This composite spell's power far surpasses the original level 5 of the second tier.

It can even be compared to a terrifying second-tier, seventh-level spell.

Moreover, the activation time is short.

Among all second-tier foundation-building spells, it is the fastest to activate.

"Roar!"

In an instant, it seemed as if a roar from a primordial beast echoed through the heavens and earth.

The sound waves materialized, making the air shimmer and ripple in layers.

In just a moment, it hit all three of them.

This battle caught the three of them completely off guard. They hadn't had time to use their defensive talismans yet, and only had the built-in defense of their robes to protect themselves, but how could that possibly be enough?

The two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators' mid-grade robes, which were equipped with elemental shields, were instantly shattered by the terrifying sound waves without even causing a ripple. Their bodies were blasted away like tattered sacks, and they were clearly dead.

The one in the late Foundation Establishment stage fared slightly better.

However, it was only slightly.

The shield and armor spell that came with his second-tier superior-grade magic robe only lasted for a moment before collapsing abruptly. He only had time to let out a desperate roar before his body was also blasted away. Even though the sonic wave was at its last gasp, he was still seriously injured.

“You, you all…” He coughed up blood, looking at the three illusory figures not far away, his face deathly pale: “I admit defeat. I’ll give you my storage bag, robe and magic artifacts, just to spare my life.”

"Too late!" Chen Li sneered. Did he think I was new to this world? Killing you wouldn't stop me from getting it.

Then, another powerful sound spell was unleashed, finally ending his life.

Chen Li stepped forward and delivered a few more blows. Seeing that they were completely dead, he searched them one by one, not even missing their robes. Then he used True Fire Technique to incinerate the corpses. Immediately afterward, the three avatars flew up and quickly disappeared into the distance.

……

On the way, Chen Li refined and examined each of the storage bags.

"These highway robbers are never poor."

Not counting elixirs, spiritual materials, and other miscellaneous items.

In terms of spirit stones, there are a total of more than 150 high-grade spirit stones.

The most valuable items are the ritual implements and robes.

Chen Li roughly estimated that he could sell about two hundred of them.

"How much did they rob?!" Chen Li exclaimed with delight.
"Today is truly a double celebration. If I include my savings, I have over a thousand high-grade spirit stones. Such wealth is probably extremely rare even for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage."

As he was thinking, Ding Jian's image appeared in Chen Li's mind.

"Of course, you can't compare yourself to someone like that."
