Chapter 184: Turning Traitor
He took down another nameless strange thing. Yan Wentao took advantage of the gap to catch his breath, shook his sleeves, and his blood-stained hand trembled slightly.
Ever since entering the Illusionary Scenery, one thing after another without enough rest time, it indeed made him somewhat exhausted.
Looking at that Ren Yaozhe again, he only needed to occasionally move his hand to easily summon all sorts of things to act as his thugs. Yan Wentao was so angry that he ground his teeth.
Turning his head to look at Xuan Xia, Yan Wentao asked with concern: “Boss, are you okay?”
Xuan Xia nodded and asked him in return: “Are you still okay?”
She asked, but seeing the bloodstains on his hand, Xuan Xia herself felt it wasn’t good.
Yan Wentao showed a bitter smile.
At a time like this, even if he couldn’t, he had to.
Xuan Xia looked past him at Daoist Master Qin. He was still focused on drawing talismans.
What kind of talisman was it exactly, so complicated?
Xuan Xia curiously wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Daoist Master Qin, and also afraid that asking would attract Ren Yaozhe’s attention, causing Daoist Master Qin’s previous efforts to be wasted, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
Not only that, she also said to Yan Wentao: “I’m going to beat up Ren Yaozhe. Leave the other things to you.”
Yan Wentao hadn’t answered yet when Ren Yaozhe laughed first. “Beat me up?”
After laughing arrogantly twice, the thin stick in his hand tapped the ground. Following his action, something immediately drilled out from the soil he had tapped.
This time, the one that drilled out was the elder that Xuan Xia had been thinking about before.
The elder’s pair of blood pupils glowed red, his beard and hair moved without wind, and he looked like he had very high cultivation and was very powerful just from appearances.
Although Xuan Xia had once violently beaten the elder, last time it was because of the Ren Family brothers, this time she was a bit at a loss for what to do.
Ren Yaozhe curled his lips into a smile and waved his hand. “Go.”
The elder’s red pupils instantly turned even redder. He opened his mouth and roared, stomped his foot, and shot toward Xuan Xia like a swift arrow.
As soon as Yan Wentao saw the fierce momentum, he hurriedly drew a talisman with blood again and slapped it toward the elder.
But unexpectedly, the talisman he drew this time had power on the elder equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito; it couldn’t hurt him at all.
The elder didn’t even cry out; it was completely painless and itchless.
Yan Wentao was stunned.
Xuan Xia was also quite shocked.
She knew this old man was powerful, but she didn’t expect him to be even more powerful.
The first strike was ineffective, and in the blink of an eye, the elder was already in front of them.
Yan Wentao didn’t have time to think much and instinctively blocked in front of Xuan Xia, quickly forming complex hand seals with both hands. However, before the hand seals were complete, his two arms were clamped by the elder.
Yan Wentao’s expression changed, and the pain made his scalp feel like it was going to fly off.
It was Xuan Xia who saw the situation was bad and hurriedly lent a hand.
The elder’s attention was drawn to Xuan Xia, and he threw Yan Wentao aside like throwing a thing.
Yan Wentao had no buffer at all and rolled several times after falling, his whole body aching like it was falling apart. For the moment, he couldn’t get up and could only endure the pain first and confirm Xuan Xia’s situation.
Compared to Yan Wentao, Xuan Xia was a bit better off, but just a bit.
Because her speed of drawing talismans was much faster than Yan Wentao’s, even though the talismans she drew did minimal damage to the elder, at least they could stall him a bit.
Ren Yaozhe not far away appreciated this scene and let out a loud ha-ha laugh.
But when Ren Yaozhe divided his attention and looked at Daoist Master Qin again, his laughter suddenly stopped.
Obviously, he had recognized what kind of talisman the silent Daoist Master Qin had been drawing all this time.
Ren Yaozhe immediately directed the woman who had been standing motionless to the side. “Go quickly!”
The woman glanced at him, flicked her long sleeves, but didn’t move.
Ren Yaozhe: “???”
He stalemated with the woman for a while longer before confirming that she really wasn’t obeying his command.
Ren Yaozhe cursed angrily in frustration, gave up commanding the woman, and instead commanded the elder who was still playing eagle catching chick with Xuan Xia to change attack targets.
Upon receiving the order, the elder immediately bypassed Xuan Xia and headed straight for Daoist Master Qin.
Seeing this, Xuan Xia immediately cried out in alarm. “Daoist Master Yan!” Now she became the one chasing.
Yan Wentao had just gotten up. Without needing Xuan Xia to shout, he had already rushed toward Daoist Master Qin to protect him.
However, neither of their speeds could match the elder’s. The elder was already in front of Daoist Master Qin, extending his evil demonic claws toward him. Xuan Xia’s heart leaped into her throat.
In contrast, Daoist Master Qin under the demonic claws remained calm, showing no panic. Even at such a moment, he looked up at Ren Yaozhe.
Then, at the same instant the elder’s sharp claws touched him, he crouched down and slapped his palm on the blood talisman he had drawn.
With just this action, the elder who had been attacking him suddenly froze like he had been paused.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xuan Xia had also run to his side.
Before she could say anything, she heard Daoist Master Qin say in a low voice: “Evil demon, bow your head and heed my command.”
“Go.”
After one word, the elder who had been paused the previous second suddenly changed direction. This time, the direction faced straight toward Ren Yaozhe.
Ren Yaozhe’s expression changed drastically. He waved the magic tool in his hand, wanting to control the elder again. However, no matter how urgently the bell rang, the elder no longer acted according to his will.
The next second, he roared angrily and charged at him.
However, after the elder rushed in front of Ren Yaozhe, he stopped motionless again.
Like an idiot, he kept emitting beast-like roars from his mouth.
Ren Yaozhe glared at the elder for a few moments, then turned his line of sight back to Daoist Master Qin and laughed again.
Laughing wildly on one side, he said: “Do you think I have no preparations?”
Xuan Xia remembered. “This old man won’t harm Ren Family people.”
Daoist Master Qin had been bleeding for half a day, and now his face showed a bit of pallor. Hearing this, he wasn’t surprised and calmly hummed, then said again: “Go.”
Xuan Xia had just wanted to ask who he was telling to go when, before the words were out, her peripheral vision caught a white figure flashing past.
Turning her head to look, the one who flashed past was the woman who had been standing motionless. Unexpectedly, she moved now.
Xuan Xia thought to herself, this works too?
Ren Yaozhe also had a look of disbelief and questioned the woman: “How dare you?”
The woman said: “You promised to bring him to see me, but you deceived me time and again.”
Ren Yaozhe showed anger on his face: “I said, after this matter ends, I will satisfy you!”
The woman ignored him and only repeated the previous sentence again.
Then she said: “Someone told me, whoever deceives me, I can kill them.” As she said this, the woman’s black pupils also glowed red. She flicked her sleeves, and the two long sleeves shot out like they had minds of their own, suddenly wrapping around Ren Yaozhe’s neck.
Ren Yaozhe was both angry and incredulous. He shook the magic tool in his hand urgently and summoned another batch of strange things.
His original intention in summoning the strange things was to save himself, but as soon as the strange things appeared, the previously motionless elder seemed reactivated and immediately wiped out all the newly appeared strange things.
Ren Yaozhe’s heart shook greatly. He still wanted to try to regain control of the woman in front of him, but just then the elder smashed a strange thing toward him. The strange thing crashed into him and knocked the magic tool out of his hand.
Ren Yaozhe, having lost his magic tool, was like losing his lifesaving straw. His heart cried out: How could this be?!
