Chapter 228: Chapter 122: Taking Action, Foundation Establishment Battle (Part 3)

There was an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"It was just a small effort."

Zhou Changwang smiled and said, then his gaze naturally fell on Fang Shitong.

He had always been wary of this Fang Shitong.

The fact that the other was a Tribulation Cultivator always made him quite apprehensive.

It was the same as before on the outskirts of the marketplace.

Now, even within the inner city of the marketplace, amidst the chaos, he didn’t think traveling with a Tribulation Cultivator was a good idea.

"I didn’t expect that since the last time we met, only a few months have passed, yet your strength has drastically changed.

This time, thank you again, fellow Daoist."

Fang Shitong clasped his hands and spoke.

"Just a minor breakthrough.

Not as profound as Fellow Daoist Fang’s realm."

Zhou Changwang said with a calm face.

"In the Cultivation Realm, strength is respected. I only have a superficial realm and can’t compare to the real strength of Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Upon hearing that, Fang Shitong slightly looked at Zhou Changwang with a meaningful glance.

Among those present, besides Qian Xiaoyue, he was the one who knew Zhou Changwang the best and remembered clearly how Zhou Changwang had shown only a Third-Layer Qi Cultivation Realm on the outskirts of the marketplace before.

Just a mere Spirit Farmer, didn’t stand out at all.

But how much time has passed?

Not only did the other party move to the marketplace inner city early, but he also broke through to the ’Fourth Layer’ Qi Cultivation Realm, and most importantly, the strength he just displayed.

One Geng Metal Finger, one Flying Sword.

Seemed simple, but his eye power wasn’t weak. He knew very well how difficult it was to eliminate a Qi Refining Fifth Layer Cultivator with just a single Spiritual Farming Technique.

Even if there was an element of surprise attack, it was still so.

After all, the cultivator’s Defense Shield offered full protection, leaving no blind spots.

If you couldn’t shatter the defense, no matter how you attacked by surprise, you couldn’t threaten the target.

It was clear that the power of Zhou Changwang’s Geng Metal Finger was absolutely beyond imagination.

Not to mention his sword control technique, smooth and agile, like directing an arm, even he couldn’t achieve that.

And the other party? In just a few moves, he killed a Qi Refining Fifth Layer Cultivator, and even while using the Flying Sword to fend off a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Practitioner, he still managed to control the Flying Sword and complete the last kill...

In his heart, he was indeed a bit shocked and apprehensive. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I wonder what your plans are next?"

Immediately after, as if he remembered something, he quickly asked.

"We plan to join with Sister Shen in Shuiyun Pavilion with Qian Xiaoyue.

Then we will leave the marketplace with them immediately.

Fellow Daoist Fang, why not come with us? The marketplace is in chaos and full of dangers now, so it’s good to have each other’s backs, right?"

Before Zhou Changwang could speak, Lu Wei’Er quickly replied, inviting him.

Zhou Changwang’s face immediately turned cold.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoyue tugged at his arm and said, "We really owe it to Fellow Daoist Fang just now for scaring off those three Tribulation Cultivators, or we would truly be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang said no more and commented, "It’s not suitable to stay here for long; let’s go quickly."

Naturally, the others had no objections.

Instead, Fang Shitong quickly picked up the storage bags from the three people and handed them to Zhou Changwang, saying, "These three were all killed by you, so the spoils are yours."

"The last one was primarily your effort, so it’s rightfully yours.

Also, this storage bag should belong to the female cultivator from your courtyard, so it’s up to you guys to handle it."

Zhou Changwang only took two of the storage bags, but not the remaining two.

"This storage bag is Fellow Daoist Yuru’s. Fellow Daoist Lu, you’re the only one who knows her best, so it’s up to you to handle it.

As for this storage bag, Fellow Daoist Qian, without those few Spirit Talismans you used earlier, we wouldn’t have been able to kill him so easily.

You need to replenish the Spirit Talismans you consumed, so this storage bag is yours."

Fang Shitong said, as he handed the two remaining storage bags to Lu Wei’Er and Qian Xiaoyue.

He knew that Zhou Changwang was cautious of him, so he wouldn’t presumptuously pocket the storage bags himself, handing them over was the safest choice.

"Sister Yuru is actually quite pitiful, having no friends in the marketplace..."

Lu Wei’Er said, as she finally reached out to take the storage bag.

She was short of storage bags, otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked Qian Xiaoyue for help moving. Now she had a chance to get a storage bag, it was hard for her to refuse.

As for Qian Xiaoyue, she looked to Zhou Changwang, and seeing him nod slightly, she then accepted the storage bag.

"As for these Magical Artifacts..."

Lastly, Fang Shitong continued to speak.

Each of the few people had Magical Artifacts on them.

The leader, the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Practitioner, not only had an Attack-Magic Technique but also a Defensive Spirit Armor, though only a low-grade Magical Artifact, its defense wasn’t weak.

"Let’s split these Magical Artifacts, each person takes one."

Zhou Changwang said as he casually took a Dharma Artifact Flying Sword.

Such a low-grade Magical Artifact was of little use to him. Keeping it was only for reselling for some Spirit Stones, so he didn’t care much about it.

Seeing this, Lu Wei’Er’s eyes lit up, and after some hesitation, she chose a Flying Knife. Qian Xiaoyue already had a Dharma Flying Knife and wasn’t considering changing it, so she chose the Defensive Spirit Armor, and the remaining Flying Sword was kept by Fang Shitong.
