Wei Xizhong's right hand was quickly swallowed up by the black aura that was radiating from Xiao Chen's palm. The black aura continued to spread upward along Wei Xizhong's right hand, just like the silk threads on his iron horsetail whisk. It did not take long for his entire body to be shrouded in it.
Wei Xizhong did not notice it at all. He was still trying to pull his right hand away from Xiao Chen's palm. Then, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. Just as he was about to lower his head to check the situation, a stabbing pain suddenly erupted from the skin of his body straight to his heart!
Wei Xizhong did not even have time to scream before he fell to the ground with his entire body turning black. Blood flowed out of his seven orifices and he died instantly!
"Wow! Master Immortal, you're too awesome! Killing a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is simply a piece of cake! " Gong Shaoxi cheered with a face full of ecstasy. "I must repeat this scene to my father and junior brother so that they can also know how awesome our Master is!"
Hong Zhu, who had been on tenterhooks just a moment ago, also revealed a lovely smile at this moment. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself into Xiao Chen's embrace. Then, she gave him a peck on the cheek and proudly said, "I told you that my man wouldn't be defeated by this kind of old man! I really have good taste! "
Xiao Chen patted Hong Zhu on the head, then glanced at Wei Xizhong, who was lying on the ground as dead as a doornail. He shook his head and said to Gong Shaoxi with a regretful expression, "It's a pity that this guy was too weak. I wanted to try out a few moves first and then use the 'Flying Bandit', but in the end, he died just like that. You didn't get to see Master's famous work!"
"It's alright, it's alright, Master Immortal. We have plenty of opportunities. It'll be the same next time!" Gong Shaoxi was overwhelmed by the favor and hurriedly waved his hand.
A few bandits who were still alive had been hiding far away to observe the battle. When they saw that Wei Xizhong had been killed, they immediately turned around and fled, hoping to slip away before the enemy discovered them.
But before they could run far, the mountain bandits suddenly felt their vision blur. Xiao Chen had rushed over and blocked their way. Seeing the playful expression on Xiao Chen's face, like a cat chasing a mouse, they all shivered in fear. They didn't know whether to kneel and beg for mercy or lie down and pretend to be unconscious.
"Don't run yet. I have a few questions for you!" Xiao Chen casually dragged a skinny bandit over and asked nonchalantly, "Other than that yellow-clothed old thing, are there any more powerful experts in your den?"
The skinny bandit had originally thought that he was going to die. He closed his eyes in trepidation and waited for his judgment. However, when he heard Xiao Chen's question, he hurriedly opened his eyes and shook his head. With a sincere expression, he said, "This … this Exalted Immortal, to tell you the truth, the old man that you … killed earlier is called Wei Xizhong. He's our leader. There's no one more powerful than him here!"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked again, "Also, where do you hide the things you usually rob?"
The skinny bandit rolled his eyes and was about to name a random place for Xiao Chen and the rest to search first. Then, he would take the opportunity to slip away.
But before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Xiao Chen, "You better answer honestly. Don't waste my time with the wrong answer. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you end up like that old thing!"
The skinny bandit immediately shuddered and did not dare to have any more improper thoughts. He directly pointed to a relatively hidden house in the depths of the courtyard that had not been burned, and said in a low, trembling voice, "Exalted … Exalted Immortal, that is our storeroom!"
"Oh? Is he right? " Xiao Chen turned his head and swept a cold glance at the other mountain bandits. All he saw was that they were nodding repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice. Their faces were filled with fear and did not look like they were lying. Only then did he casually throw the skinny bandit to the ground.
The bandit thought that Xiao Chen had finished using him and was preparing to silence him. He crawled on the ground and did not dare to move, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"Scram! Don't commit any more crimes in the future! " Just when those mountain bandits were on tenterhooks, Xiao Chen's indifferent voice sounded, "Otherwise, if you are caught by this great immortal next time, you won't be as lucky as you were this time!"
For a moment, the bandits thought that they had misheard him. It was only when they saw Xiao Chen turn around and leave did they realize that the Ascendant Immortal was telling the truth. Immediately, they scrambled away from the scene, wishing that they could grow four more legs and run for their lives.
At this time, Hong Zhu and Gong Shaoxi also walked over. The latter gave Xiao Chen a heartfelt thumbs up and said with a face full of admiration, "Immortal Master, it is all thanks to your help today that we swept away all these disasters. Otherwise, if the Burning Heavens Sect were to be constantly harassed by these mountain bandits in the future, I'm afraid that it would not be long before we are emptied!"
"Oh, it was nothing, no need to take it to heart." Xiao Chen casually patted Gong Shaoxi's shoulder and led him and Hong Zhu to the storeroom.
The gratitude on Gong Shaoxi's face became even more intense. Immortal Master is really too good to me. Not only did he help the Burning Heavens Sect clear away the external troubles, he was also so humble and did not take credit for it. To be able to have such a master, it was simply a blessing that he had cultivated in his previous life!
After walking for a while, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked Gong Shaoxi, "Oh right, I have a question that I don't understand. You also know that my strength is much higher than that old fellow surnamed Wei, so why was I still restrained by his magic tool? This doesn't seem very logical! "
"Oh, right. Master Ascendant, it's like this. There are several types of Magic artefacts. Everyone's Magic artefacts are different. Normally, the more ordinary Magic artefacts of immortal cultivators will only grow stronger according to the wielder's strength. These Magic artefacts can be bought in the Magic artefact shops in ordinary towns. However, some special Magic artefacts are different. They will have different effects," Gong Shaoxi explained with a chuckle.
"Oh... like that iron horsetail whisk just now?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. When he recalled that Wei Xizhong had mentioned the fur of an ancient spiritual beast, he seemed to have realized something. It seemed that this guy was not lying!
"Exactly!" Gong Shaoxi nodded, and added, "Presumably, that old fellow had some kind of fortuitous encounter in the past, and was lucky enough to pick up the fur of an ancient spiritual beast. Therefore, when he made it into his magic tool, it will have a different kind of strength enhancement, such as the ability to be tough and unbreakable. That is why you were careless and fell into its trap."
"So that's how it is. I didn't think that this magic tool would have so many tricks up its sleeves. It seems that I will have to be a little more careful in the future." Only now did Xiao Chen nod in realization, and he could not help but sigh.
