Chapter 300 The Trap Closes, Thanks for Your Help
Ji Ying put away the water of the Demon Abyss, appearing calm and composed.
But his right hand was already behind his back, and he was secretly channeling his magic power.
He knew that none of the three would be convinced, but he was confident that he could catch them off guard and quickly eliminate them, as well as Huang Laomo who was guarding the cave entrance.
Mad Blade gripped his longsword, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "This treasure is far too precious. If you intend to possess it for yourself, have you considered the consequences?"
His large hand gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura, indicating that he had already reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.
Not to be outdone, Hong Ling and Jin Lei also used their own methods to unleash their power.
Although they were a whole realm lower than Ji Ying, they were both members of the Parasitic Clan, and everyone knew how difficult the other was to kill.
Even if the physical body dies, as long as the main body is parasitic on the Five Elements, Ji Ying can't do anything to them. This is one of the reasons why the parasitic race rarely has internal conflicts.
Ji Ying kept her right hand behind her back and said calmly, "Everyone, I don't intend to keep this treasure for myself. I'm just worried that once its secret is revealed, it will attract countless covetous eyes. So it's most appropriate for me to keep it for the time being."
Kuangdao's gaze was fixed on Ji Ying, and he said with a warning, "Ji Ying, there's no need to say these things. You should think it over carefully."
Hong Ling's face darkened, and she threatened in return, "Before we left, I had already prepared a backup plan. If I can't return to my clan, you can forget about taking all the Demon Abyss Water for yourself!"
A resolute glint appeared in her eyes, clearly indicating that she was prepared to fight to the death.
Jin Lei and Kuang Dao's expressions also turned serious, their eyes fixed on Ji Ying, awaiting his decision.
Ji Ying took a deep breath, knowing that it was not the right time to immediately turn against them.
The best opportunity is to leave this realm and return on the star shuttle. He can easily kill the remaining four people, hide the empty blue bottle somewhere, and then pretend to be seriously injured to return to his clan, lying that he and his group have encountered another space storm.
He said slowly, "Hongling, you've won. We can jointly safeguard the waters of the Demon Abyss, and then make a final decision once we safely return to our clan."
He gently extended his right hand, and the empty blue bottle reappeared, drifting leisurely to the center of the four people. The bottle shimmered with a faint, ethereal light, reflecting the different expressions on the faces of the four.
A smug smile curved at the corners of Hong Ling's lips, her smile as beautiful as a flower, but it only appeared on her skin and did not reach her eyes.
She knew perfectly well that this moment of peace was merely the calm before the storm.
When he leaves, the Five Elements will be unable to reside in the starry sky, and Ji Ying will definitely seize the opportunity to make his move, not letting go of this best chance.
However, since she already knew that the clan had arranged for a stranger at the Nascent Soul stage to lead the team, she had already secretly planned with her close friends and made as many preparations as possible.
Upon seeing this, Jin Lei and Kuang Dao's expressions softened slightly, and their tense faces relaxed a bit.
Faced with this abyss of evil water, the greed of the human heart is hard to contain.
However, the mutual distrust between them has given rise to a new balance and constraint.
All around, the dense forest was quiet, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
The four stood there, each with their own thoughts, yet they all tacitly maintained this superficial peace, waiting for the opportune moment to unleash their full power and vie for the treasure.
Ji Ying looked longingly at the empty blue bottle, about to say something, when his spirit suddenly warned him, startling him!
His mind raced, and before he could think any further, he moved several miles away in an instant.
Hong Ling, Kuang Dao, and Jin Lei were all startled upon seeing this, mistakenly believing that Ji Ying had finally lost control of his greed and was about to tear off the mask and start fighting.
Hongling gripped the Blazing Serpent Whip tightly, the whip's blade flashing with fire, reflecting the mixture of shock and anger on her face.
Mad Blade's eyes widened in fury, his greatsword humming and gleaming coldly, as if he were about to unleash a devastating strike at any moment.
Jin Lei instantly transformed into a demon, spreading his wings to become a gigantic golden-winged roc, its feathers shimmering, blotting out the sky and exuding a menacing aura.
The three attacked simultaneously, their spiritual energy surging like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable. Just as they were about to kill Ji Ying, they saw him looking astonished, his gaze passing over them and fixed on something behind him.
Just then, ripples spread through the space, like a gentle breeze stroking the surface of water, and a woman in white appeared out of thin air.
She extended her fair, jade-like hand, and the empty blue bottle fell into her palm. Then, she teleported again, her figure transforming into a white light and disappearing without a trace.
This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue.
Ji Ying was burning with rage, and his roar shook the heavens: "Stay here!!"
However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred!
A beam of light, several miles wide, suddenly shot out from the depths of the earth, like an angry dragon bursting out of the ground. In an instant, it pierced the sky, its dazzling light tearing through the heavens!
Throughout the entire Xiandu Cave, no matter where you stand, you can see this beam of light.
Hong Ling, Kuang Dao, and Jin Lei were right in the center of that beam of light, with nowhere to escape.
Before Ji Chao could finish speaking, Hong Ling and Kuang Dao had already vanished without a trace under the beam of light, leaving only their respective magical artifacts emitting mournful cries within the beam.
Immediately afterwards, a strong, acrid smell of burning filled the air, pungent and unpleasant.
Jin Lei's enormous demonic body struggled in agony under the scorching beam of light, its fur cracking and its flesh turning black.
He opened his mouth wide, but was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream.
This sudden and earth-shattering change left Ji Ying stunned for a breath before she snapped back to her senses.
He immediately summoned his spirit sword, its light flashing as it protected his body. At the same time, he used his divine sense to vigilantly scan his surroundings, fearing that some unknown danger might suddenly descend upon him.
The beam of light gradually faded, leaving a bottomless crater in the earth.
Smoke filled the air, and dust flew everywhere.
At the edge of the large pit lay a half-charred demon corpse, which was none other than Jin Lei.
He relied on his strong physical body to barely retain a breath, but that breath was extremely weak.
There was dead silence.
God!
Without a doubt, this was a full-force attack from someone at the Nascent Soul stage!
Ji Ying's divine sense penetrated deep into the pit, wanting to find out what was going on, but she suddenly discovered that what was hidden underground was actually a huge immortal ship!
But before he could examine it closely, the celestial boat vanished from its spot, transforming into a dazzling golden light that disappeared directly into the woman's sleeve.
Chu Lengyu held the empty blue bottle in her hand and gently spun it. The bottle shimmered with a faint, ethereal light, reflecting off her aloof and peerless face.
She looked up at Ji Ying, shook the bottle in her hand, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you for opening the Demonic Energy Pearl for me. By the way, could you tell me what the effects of the Demon Abyss Water are?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying's anger instantly surged to its peak.
His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his spiritual energy surged wildly, almost out of control.
The four of them nearly turned against each other with swords over this treasure, but little did they know that someone had been lying in ambush underground, waiting to reap the benefits!
