Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 59 Internal Strife

Old Zhang didn't rush to take other people's lives. Instead, he took out a storage container that he had prepared long ago. This thing was extremely expensive. If it weren't for the earth-type spirit seed, why would he have bought such a thing?

The bluish-gray rocks were buried deep underground. Old Zhang used a special vessel to collect and absorb the spiritual seeds. The vessel in his hand gradually turned bluish-gray, as the power of the spiritual seeds was being continuously absorbed.

At the same time, Old Zhang urged Feng Shaojie to kill the trapped mages now and collect their blood.

Feng Shaojie seemed somewhat resistant to Old Zhang's words and did not make a move. Old Zhang merely glanced at Feng Shaojie with a meaningful expression and did not say anything more.

After a while, the spirit seed was finally completely extracted. Then, Old Zhang put it directly into the spatial magic artifact. Feng Shaojie frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Old Zhang then had Feng Shaojie release Kun Zhilin, revealing the people trapped inside. They were all unconscious, but their lives were not in immediate danger.

Seeing that Old Zhang was preparing to cast a spell, Yunhua knew she couldn't hide any longer, or the others would really be doomed.

Yunhua notified Xiaoti through their mental contract, instructing Xiaoti to prepare to strike first, taking advantage of Old Zhang's distraction.

However, before Yunhua could make a move, a new change occurred on the field.

Feng Shaojie actually made the first move. Just like before, he pulled out a short knife and stabbed it directly at Old Zhang.

However, Old Zhang was clearly prepared. He activated a magical armor before the dagger pierced his body, enveloping his entire body in a beam of light. However, this dagger was different from the one that had been used to stab Yunhua earlier.

When the short sword came into contact with Old Zhang's armored magic weapon, green flames suddenly erupted from its body, burning through Old Zhang's defenses, and the short sword pierced through them as well.

Although Old Zhang managed to dodge the attack with a quick twist of his body, his magic was interrupted as a result.

Old Zhang said aggressively, "You brat, what do you think you're doing! I've been so good to you, sharing everything with you, and you still dare to ambush me? Don't you want the spirit seed anymore?"

Feng Shaojie sneered, "Of course I want the spirit seed, but will you give it to me? Be good to me? Don't think I don't know, what you just used wasn't some secret technique at all! You were trying to use magic to kill me, I just struck first!"

"You want to share half with me? Who do you think you are, to presume to split things with me?! Since you think you can retire after you've finished your work, then I'll just send you straight to heaven!"

Feng Shaojie clearly didn't believe the stall owner Lao Zhang's nonsense. He and Lao Zhang had been old hunters who had been roaming the world together for many years. They knew each other very well. Who were you trying to fool?

Then Feng Shaojie used a low-level plant magic spell, and several slender vines instantly grew around him, then went straight for Old Zhang!

Old Zhang also used his trump card defensive magic tools. In addition to taking out a shield that shone brightly, he also put on a suit of armor and even had a small round shield in his hand.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a long-time grocery store owner! Meanwhile, the wooden chains that Feng Shaojie was wielding were also restless, swinging uneasily like venomous snakes ready to pounce on the stall owner, Old Zhang, and bind him.

Of course, it would be best if you could kill it outright.

"boom!"

War is imminent!

Feng Shaojie failed to kill the stall owner, Old Zhang, immediately. Relying on his rich experience, seeing that he could not kill him, he quickly retreated and created distance to secure his position.

Old Zhang, the stall owner, was heartbroken. Feng Shaojie's vines were highly poisonous, and although they were only at the initial stage, they were extremely corrosive, especially effective against demons.

In order to withstand Feng Shaojie's chain attacks, Old Zhang used all his defensive magic items at once. After being hit several times, the large shield above his head finally broke.

His armor was in disarray, almost completely losing its protective capabilities, and the small round shield in his other hand was ready at any moment, just waiting for the enemy to attack.

Seeing that Old Zhang had blocked his attack with a magical artifact, Feng Shaojie looked disdainful and said, "Do you think you're the only one who has magical artifacts?"

"Rapid Waterfall!"

Feng Shaojie pulled out a blue cane and shouted loudly. Then a huge wave rose from the lake and crashed towards Old Zhang.

"Boom!"

The waves were surging and powerful; there was no doubt that if someone were to be swept into them, they would be crushed to pieces!

Old Zhang was not afraid at all. After all, he was a veteran cultivator with many years of experience. He had seen all kinds of storms and waves.

Old Zhang exuded an astonishing chill as he used the beginner-level magic Ice Vine. Although the Ice Vine was only beginner-level, when it encountered Feng Shaojie's giant wave, the wave began to freeze inch by inch at an extremely rapid speed.

"Spirit Seed!"

"I never expected that you could actually use a spirit seed on your own?!"

Feng Shaojie gasped in shock; this guy actually possessed an ice-type spirit seed! He then sneered, "I knew you wouldn't share everything. You really have a lot of good stuff hidden away!"

"Same here!" Old Zhang replied. "We're all the same, why pretend?"

Instead of pressing his advantage, Old Zhang suddenly used Earth Wave, changing his mind and deciding not to fight Feng Shaojie to the death anymore. After all, he still had a sound-based spell that could interrupt spellcasting. With this spell, Old Zhang didn't dare to release mid-level magic casually.

Anyway, what can he do if I run away?

"Earth Wave - Displacement!"

He first used a ground-wave teleportation technique, trying to run away on his own.

Then, he unleashed the spell, "Ground Wave - Collapse!"

He even released a trap spell while Feng Shaojie was chasing him, attempting to stop Feng Shaojie from catching up with him.

"Kun's Forest!!"

The earth cracked open, and several strange trees and vines roared out, lashing fiercely at the stall owner, Old Zhang.

Stall owner Lao Zhang's expression changed, and he quickly used the small round shield magic tool in his hand to block the attack.

"You really have a lot of good stuff. I advise you not to waste it anymore. Why don't you leave it all to me?" Feng Shaojie sneered and took another step closer to the stall owner, Old Zhang.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Old Zhang, the stall owner, suddenly turned around, holding a weapon in his hand—a Light Slash!

Let alone human magicians, even thick-skinned demons would find it difficult to resist the power of a single beam of light!

"Go to hell!"

Old Zhang's face was extremely distorted, and there was no trace of his previous kindness and amiability.

"Light Slashing Magic Tool!!"

A glowing longsword suddenly swung out a bright arc of light several meters long, just like the legendary sword light, splitting rocks and sending soil flying wherever it went.
