Mythical Cultivation

Xiao Moyang saw that Wu Ming obviously saw him, but why did he still go out of the market? Could it be that he didn't understand his hint? But he told him so bluntly, and even his appearance didn't change, wasn't it just to remind him?

However, Xiao Moyang could only do so much. He couldn't just run up to Wu Ming and tell him he was following him and that there were people lying in ambush outside. First of all, even if he did, Wu Ming wouldn't necessarily believe him. Furthermore, he couldn't do such a thing openly. He, Xiao, was a man of integrity.

Seeing Wu Ming leave Qingyun Market and pull out a spirit boat from his storage bag, Xiao Moyang was stunned. Wow, so extravagant! But this did not stop Xiao Moyang from pulling out a sound transmission note and transmitting it to Tang Zhaojun, "Wu Ming has already left Qingyun Market and is heading north on his spirit boat."

Tang Zhaojun felt jealous after hearing the voice transmission. Wu Ming was just a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but he had two mid-grade magic tools, and even a spirit boat? Even he himself only had two mid-grade magic tools, and he had spent all his money to get them.

This kid must die. He must have a lot of valuables on him. Just the few he knew about were worth a thousand or two spirit stones, not to mention the others. If he were dead, he could just hide a few of them, which would be much faster than completing the mission. Even if he could just kill him outright, destroy the body, and report to Senior Brother Liu that he hadn't encountered Wu Ming, wouldn't all those thousands of spirit stones worth of stuff be his?

He drooled just thinking about it. It was Xiao Moyang's existence that blocked his fantasy. If only Xiao Moyang didn't know about this. If he had known earlier, he should have followed and let Xiao Moyang ambush him. That way, he could do it without anyone noticing.

Setting up his magic weapon, Tang Zhaojun headed towards the north of Qingyun Market, more than a hundred miles away, found an inconspicuous place and lay in ambush, waiting for Wu Ming to pass by.

Wu Ming steered the spirit boat towards Changxin County, but not very fast. Firstly, he needed to familiarize himself with the operation, and secondly, he needed to be on guard against a sneak attack. Xiao Moyang's appearance also confirmed that someone was indeed ambushing him, so he needed to be vigilant at all times.

After a few dozen breaths, Wu Ming finally figured out how to pilot the Spirit Boat. There are two ways to pilot a Spirit Boat. One is to input one's own True Essence to power the boat. However, this method depends on the cultivator's True Essence reserves. Generally, a Qi Refining cultivator needs to rest after only an hour or two, otherwise their True Essence will be depleted. Furthermore, it requires constant concentration, which interferes with one's own cultivation and can be extremely tiring.

The second method is to use spirit stones to power the spirit boat. The advantage of this method is that the cultivator does not have to stay in the control room all the time and can do his own things. The disadvantage is that it consumes spirit stones. At least hundreds of spirit stones a day are not enough, and most people may not be able to afford it.

Wu Ming chose the second method. He added forty spirit stones to the spirit boat's control core, increasing its speed. He didn't pay attention to the boat's flight, but instead focused his spiritual awareness, constantly monitoring his surroundings. Half an hour later, a flying sword suddenly slashed towards the boat from the jungle below.

Fortunately, Wu Ming was always paying attention to everything around him. When he saw the flying sword coming, he controlled the spirit boat to fall to the side. After putting away the spirit boat, Wu Ming also landed on the ground, summoning the Mountain and River Inkstone, ready to attack at any time.

"Fellow Daoist He Fang, I'm joking with you. Please show yourself."

"Haha, you must be Wu Ming. You are indeed rich and even have a spirit boat. If you hand over the treasures on you, I can secretly spare your life." A masked man in black appeared ten feet in front of Wu Ming.

"It seems that you are the one Liu Lei sent to ambush me. Why do you still need to hide it? Compared to Xiao Moyang, others are much more open than you."

When Wu Ming saw that the man was still masked, he was speechless. He had already called out his name, so what was the point of still masking his face? It seemed that Xiao Moyang was following people openly.

"People who are about to die will show off their eloquence. They can only be stubborn for a while now. I hope you can still be stubborn later."

Tang Zhaojun was also angry when he saw Wu Ming talking about Xiao Moyang. You know, Xiao Moyang was the person he hated the most before. If Xiao Moyang hadn't fallen out of favor now, it would never have been his turn to stand up. Now when he heard Wu Ming say that he was not as good as Xiao Moyang, he didn't want to say more to Wu Ming, and directly commanded the middle-grade magic weapon, the Golden Light Sword, to stab Wu Ming.

Wu Ming also unleashed his Mountain and River Inkstone to counter it. The two collided in mid-air, a violent clashing that could be heard for miles around. The Golden Light Sword and the Mountain and River Inkstone clashed repeatedly in mid-air. Since Wu Ming's cultivation was lower than Tang Zhaojun's, the Mountain and River Inkstone was steadily defeated.

Seeing this, Wu Ming knew the other party had also made preparations. The Mountain and River Inkstone alone was no longer enough to resist. So he slapped his storage bag and cast a Fire Bird Talisman. The appearance of the Fire Bird filled the air with a burning smell. A lifelike Fire Bird flew towards Tang Zhaojun in the air. If it hit Tang Zhaojun hard, Tang Zhaojun would probably be completely destroyed.

"Second-level talisman, you have a lot of good stuff, kid."

Tang Zhaojun, seeing Wu Ming pull out a second-tier talisman, was also filled with envy. He didn't dare to be careless, so he summoned a low-level magical instrument, the Coiling Dragon Token, and transformed it into a massive shield before blocking himself. The firebird collided with the shield, eventually dissipating into the air as the energy of heaven and earth. But it wasn't completely useless. A crack appeared on the Coiling Dragon Token. As expected of a second-tier talisman, its power was truly formidable. If it were to be used a few more times, the magical instrument would be useless.

Seeing this, Wu Ming stopped using his second-tier talisman and instead used a first-tier advanced talisman to consume his opponent. After unleashing four or five of these talismans in quick succession, Tang Zhaojun realized he couldn't outlast Wu Ming and, feeling sorry for his own magical weapon, he too unleashed a first-tier advanced talisman to engage Wu Ming in a duel. Fireball talismans, ice talismans, and earth spike talismans exploded between them, a riot of multicolored energy filling the air between them with smoke.

Wu Ming knew that if he continued like this, when Shanhe Yan was defeated, it would be difficult for him to leave safely without revealing his trump card. Moreover, he didn't know how many people were following him secretly. At least Xiao Moyang must be there, so it would not be good to drag it out any longer.

When he saw the smoke produced by the explosion of the talisman between the two people, Wu Ming came up with an idea. While throwing out a water ball talisman, he secretly mixed it in with a sky thunder ball and threw it towards Tang Zhaojun.

Seeing victory in sight, Tang Zhaojun lowered his guard. Seeing Wu Ming continue to throw talismans, he secretly thought Wu Ming had run out of tricks and threw a Wind Blade Talisman as well. The two talismans collided, and a sudden sense of death washed over him. Without a second thought, Tang Zhaojun hurriedly summoned the Coiling Dragon Order and the Golden Light Sword. However, the Heavenly Thunder Child had already reached him, and he saw it, but it was too late. With a loud bang, the Coiling Dragon Order was instantly pulverized, and he was also caught in the explosion of the Heavenly Thunder Child.
