Chapter 233: Chapter 123: Just Because I Took One More Look in the Crowd (Part 4)

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Zhou Changwang truly trusted the other party.

Although Fang Shitong openly declared he only killed those who deserved it.

But who deserves to be killed and who doesn’t is not something he can decide alone.

The reason Zhou Changwang wasn’t overly concerned was, at its core, because he had enough confidence in his own strength.

Confident that he could unleash his magic on the opponent the moment they made any dubious move.

Whether it’s Geng Metal Finger, or the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique, both possess solid power equivalent to a Late Stage of Qi Cultivation and can almost be cast instantly.

He simply wasn’t afraid of the potential threat posed by the opponent.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I just contacted Sister Shen.

They’re still on the outskirts of the marketplace, but they’re almost here."

At that moment, Qian Xiaoyue collected the Communication Jade Scroll, looked at Zhou Changwang, and spoke.

"That’s good."

Zhou Changwang nodded, also casting his gaze toward the direction of the marketplace.

Under Spirit Eye Technique, most areas within the marketplace were almost in plain view.

At this moment, after the initial chaos, the sounds of fighting had lessened significantly, but in the East District, dazzling magic lights occasionally burst forth, and cultivators soared into the sky, evidently the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator Powerhouses in action.

Apart from this, the outskirts of the marketplace were more bustling.

From time to time, the sound of house-defensive arrays being broken rang out, sometimes mixed with cries and wails, making people change color.

At the entrance and exit of the marketplace, people continuously rushed out, with many shouting cheers after surviving a calamity, only to be suddenly ambushed and killed by approaching cultivators.

Even though it was daytime, when cultivators took action, they were often swift and fierce.

Driven by greed, each cultivator struck without mercy.

Under Spirit Eye Technique, Zhou Changwang witnessed more than one instance of people suddenly attacking their companions, even when several banded together.

Gradually, some cultivators approached Ten-Mile Slope.

But seeing the four of them here, none dared approach, either staying far away or carefully bypassing.

The four of them, three Mid Stage of Qi Cultivation and one Early Stage cultivator, wielded considerable deterrence.

Until a Late-stage Qi Cultivation Practitioner came charging straight at them.

Zhou Changwang and the others quickly clustered together in alert.

However, the person didn’t even glance at them, swiftly flying past.

Just when he was about to leave, his steps suddenly halted, and he stopped, staring coldly at Zhou Changwang and the others, saying, "Hmm? Killing intent? Do you know me?"

Zhou Changwang was slightly taken aback, but his heart also grew wary.

Qi Refining Seventh Level Practitioner.

Then, his gaze locked onto Fang Shitong.

"Ah, it’s you, kid."

He chuckled to himself, saying, "You escaped last time, let me see if you can get away this time."

Immediately, his Heart Spirit stirred, and the Dharma Artifact Flying Sword in his hand instantly hovered up.

"Retreat!"

Zhou Changwang shouted loudly, instinctively pointing forward.

Simultaneously, the Spiritual Light on his body flickered uncontrollably.

Protective Body Technique, Light Body Skill, Sword Control Technique... all his magic skills were cast almost instantly upon thought.

Immediately, a stack of Spirit Talismans appeared in his hand, which he swiftly waved forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of Thunder Talismans and Fireball Talismans were activated.

And by now, he didn’t stop. A massive Turtle Shell Magical Artifact suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a slight movement of spiritual power, a burst of Spiritual Light erupted from it, enveloping him inside the artifact for protection.

Quickly, a Dharma Artifact Flying Sword also floated before him...

All of this happened too quickly.

Although Zhou Changwang wasn’t sure why the person stopped or attacked.

But the moment the opponent summoned the artifact, he didn’t hesitate whatsoever and acted immediately.
