Chapter 1487: Traps

Two days later, in the deep night, Tiger Embracing City was having a heavy wind and rain, causing everything dim. As a coastal city, the sudden storm made Tiger Embracing City pretty quiet and cold within 600 miles. Being covered with vapor, it had extremely low visibility.

The rear of the Tiger Embracing City was a forest. Right in this wood, there was a mountain stream dozens of miles away from the shrine palace in the north. There was a waterfall over there. Due to this storm, the water flow of that waterfall abruptly increased as the dirty water rushed into a deep pool beneath that mountain stream together with mud and fallen leaves, causing tumbling sound, before converging into a river, then the ocean.

In such weather, such a deep night, such a wilderness, almost n.o.body could be seen. Even birds and beasts were hiding in their own nests and dens.

However, a head silently came out of the deep pool at this moment.

This man was dry all over. Water in the pool was isolated by his battle qi from 2 cm away.

Given his protective battle qi, he must be a knight; however, he looked strange.

After exposing his head above the water, he looked around before flying off the pool. Covered by the storm, he rapidly rushed into the heavy clouds before flying northwards.

After this man flew off this mountain stream for over 10 minutes, with a flash of light, three more people appeared in the mountain stream.

Elder Brother Huang whom Zhang Taixuan met that day was among them. One was an earth knight who wore sky-blue battle armor with a gloomy look; the other was a shadow knight with exotic, little braids and tattoos of various animals on his face and arms and a string of bone beads.

At this moment, a colorful, exotic b.u.t.terfly was flapping two pairs of wings which were changing their colors like a rainbow on a palm of the shadow knight who wore a ring of exotic bone beads over his neck. The two tentacles of that b.u.t.terfly were pointing at the direction where that knight had left for.

Before the m.u.f.fled rumbles arrived, the three knights had disappeared and rushed into the sky, flying northwards after that knight.

“Zhang Taixuan is really cunning. If not His Majesty has a.s.signed Immortal White Bone to help us, even I was almost cheated by him…” that old man surnamed Huang said with fury and brutality, “When Zhang Taixuan falls in my hand, he will die in my boots…”

Of course, the Immortal White Bone was a shadow knight. After hearing that old man's words, the knight with a string of bone beads on his neck sighed, saying, “His Majesty has long seen through everything and long known that Zhang Taixuan is extremely ambitious and could barely be loyal to him. After Zhang Tie disappeared, His Majesty realized it was done by Zhang Taixuan. Pitifully, we will have to waste a soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly. This one is a cla.s.s-leading mutated species, universal soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly. It could position a knight based on the qi of his chakra within over 1,200 miles. It could only survive for one month. Even His Majesty only has fewer than 5 universal b.u.t.terflies. His Majesty got them at an extremely high cost. He has been preserving them very well. After Zhang Tie missed, His Majesty considered it for quite a while before taking it out. Such a b.u.t.terfly should at least be applied to the heavenly knight at critical moments…”

“His Majesty is far-sighted. His Majesty let immortal wake up the soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly when we met Zhang Taixuan on the airboat so that the soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly could position the qi of Zhang Taixuan's chakra; otherwise, we would have been screwed by him…”

“Hopefully, we don't waste this universal soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly!”

“This universal soul-chasing b.u.t.terfly is actually used to find Zhang Tie; instead of Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Taixuan is just an earth knight. He couldn't fly too far away tonight. As his action is so weird, he must have a hidden purpose. This time, let's show him our ability. How could a trivial earth knight play trick in front of us? That's preposterous…”

“I hope so!”

…

Zhang Tie didn't sleep tonight. In the underground s.p.a.ce, he could still hear the surging sea waves lapping against the reefs on the seaside and the crisscrossed karst caves beneath the mountain, causing loud sound and resonance. Hearing this sound and resonance, even though Zhang Tie didn't use lotus flower eyes, he had known that it was raining heavily, causing surging billows…

Zhang Tie had woken up three days ago. Within this period, that dare-to-die fighter only gave Zhang Tie some fresh water and cold food for one time. Therefore, Zhang Tie started to doubt, ‘Is the culprit unwilling to talk about conditions with me?'

‘Is this a psywar or that the person doesn't want to see me for the time being?'

Now that that culprit was not anxious, Zhang Tie was not anxious either. He just waited patiently.

In the underground karst cave, Zhang Tie sat on the ground with crossed legs as he was reciting the endless true words of the Great Wilderness Sutra. The three b.l.o.o.d.y soul needles in his body had already become three b.l.o.o.d.y fine lines over his finger which looked like a finger ring.

As for Zhang Tie who had mastered b.l.o.o.d.y Soul Sutra, b.l.o.o.d.y soul needles were too naive and awkward. Such a secret skill could scare others; however, it was too easy for Zhang Tie to deal with it.

After hearing the faint noise above the mountain cave, Zhang Tie opened his eyes. After activating his lotus flower eyes, Zhang Tie found that the 50-year old dare-to-die fighter who looked gloomy was escorting Senior Sister Apprentice Ma downward from outside the mountain cave.

Catching sight of that, Zhang Tie instantly stopped his cultivation. He then raised that finger which was surrounded by three b.l.o.o.d.y soul needles and put it under his nose. Only with a light inspiration, the three b.l.o.o.d.y soul needles which were even finer than hair had twisted like a movable earthworm and spiritual snake as they loosed and drilled into Zhang Tie's nostril.

After Zhang Tie put down his hand, the iron gate above the mountain cave opened at once with a cracking sound as that dare-to-die fighter walked downward together with Ma Aiyun.

When he saw Senior Sister Apprentice Ma again, Zhang Tie sighed inside.

Ma Aiyun looked haggard. When she saw Zhang Tie, she looked a bit thrilled…
