The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 908: Retaliation is inevitable
Faced with the combined attack of Nangong Mo and Arisa, Zhao Chen calmly took out a short staff that resembled a tree branch and used the tip of the staff as the center to construct a spherical barrier.

This is the "Gate of Audrey," a magical artifact left behind by the "Witch" Theresa. Its main material is a branch from a "Great Ferocity" level instructor at the Demon Wood Academy, which is best at constructing defensive barriers that are impenetrable to both good and evil.

Nangong Mo's silver blade and Arisa's lightning struck the barrier, but they failed to create even the slightest ripple, as if a gentle drizzle were falling on an umbrella.

Seeing this, Nangong Mo no longer harbored any illusions. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately flashed golden light in his left eye, donned a brocade robe and armor, and then activated the Nangong family's signature divine power, the "Four Dragons Sovereign Plate," intending to switch places with his servants hundreds of miles away.

Although he was eccentric and even called himself "the mad scholar," he wasn't stupid. Now that it was clear the other side was well-prepared, he naturally had to retreat first and plan something else later.

As for Arisa, he wasn't worried. This Western woman's name contained the word "lightning speed," so she was definitely faster than him!
But since Zhao Chen could use magic weapons so easily, he must have spent star coins to borrow a fake "Dongxuan" position to possess. How could he let the two of them leave so easily?

With a sweep of his divine sense, "Azure Sun Cold Light" and "Crimson Moon Fire Lotus" appeared simultaneously. After being enhanced by his rank, the former froze space, interrupting the spatial exchange of Nangong Mo's "Four Dragons Venerable Plate," while the latter burned away time, making Arisa's "divine speed" relatively slow.

Then, the phantom of the "Golden Chest Five-Key" stood above Zhao Chen's head, and the Big Dipper faintly appeared in the sky within the formation, with its handle pointing directly at the "Mad Scholar" who had failed to escape.

The third-rank divine power, "The Big Dipper's Death Inflicted!"
Although Tang Miao had already left, Zhao Chen naturally "bought" her many supernatural abilities before "redeeming" her, making a full profit from them.

Trapped by the "Cold Sun and Cold Light," Nangong Mo felt a chill run down his spine the moment the Big Dipper appeared. He immediately used "Causal Vision" again and saw that his causal threads were about to be connected with some kind of terrible destiny in the dark.

Realizing this was a sign that a destiny-related divine power was about to take shape, Nangong Mo dared not delay. He once again unleashed a silver blade from his left eye, slashing at his own causal thread.

"Yazi" is skilled in the way of cause and effect, so this silver knife is similar in nature to the "jade axe" that Zhao Chen used in the fake Nine Netherworld Imperial Palace.

Although this might harm his own fortune, it's better than being led to a terrible fate.

At the same time, within the "slow time" range shrouded by the "Red Moon Fire Lotus," countless branches with mouths suddenly appeared, ignoring the almost "frozen" lightning around them, binding the "octopus" with numerous tentacles, and even showing a tendency to merge with the tentacles as the binding deepened.

In an instant, the "lightning octopus" covered in tentacles disappeared, revealing the figure of the Western woman dressed as a maid.

The "Tree Branch" in the "Three Divine Powers of Nurturing People" of the Demonwood Academy is good at corrupting enemies with "knowledge". Arisa's "Morning Star Ultimate Move" was interfered with and naturally could no longer be maintained.

It was clearly Ming Xueling who used this move. Her "Tree Man Branch," which was simulated by an incomplete version of the "Myriad Phenomena" supernatural power, was the nemesis of supernatural powers that transformed into incomplete immortal forms.

After all, to "cultivate people," the prerequisite is that they must be "people"! If not, then first become "people" again.

Upon seeing Ming Xueling take action, Nangong Mo knew that something must have gone wrong on Qi Changwei's side, and that the Yin Si assassin he had hired was probably unreliable.

He cursed under his breath as "useless," then gritted his teeth and took out a complete set of bronze chimes from his storage bag.

This is a set of combined magical artifacts, similar to Zhao Chen's "Mysterious Maiden Set". Once assembled, it can unleash the power of a quasi-"magic weapon" for a short period of time.

However, this set of chime bells has a limited number of uses, and Nangong Mo will only take it out if he is truly prepared to risk everything. After all, the current situation is not optimistic. Although he doesn't know how long Zhao Chen's state of reaching the pseudo-Dongxuan level through the "external elixir" can last, even if that state ends immediately, once the "Three Absolute Fairies" are free, in a two-on-one situation, he is afraid he will not fare well!
We must get out of here as soon as possible and find another opportunity to settle accounts with that brat Zhao Chen!
As the decision was made, the set of chime bells began to play on its own...

"The bells and chimes resounded through the azure sky, and the bronze abyss echoed through the clouds." As the ancient sounds, full of mystery, reappeared in the world, the "cold light of the blue sun" surrounding Nangong Mo suddenly lost its power, and the frozen space returned to normal.

If Zhao Chen hadn't moved in front of Ming Xueling and used the barrier formed by the "Gate of Audrey" to block the invasion of the sound, even Arisa would probably have been able to escape!

This set of chime bells can cleanse "time and space" with just one sound, demonstrating its immense power!
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhao Chen came to Ming Xueling's aid, Nangong Mo, who was prepared, once again used his "Four Dragons Venerable Plate" divine power and instantly escaped hundreds of miles away.

Then, without pausing to observe whether Zhao Chen was chasing after him, he activated his flying ability and flew towards Kyushu at full speed.

Only after entering the pass and feeling the oppressive "Xuandu Laws" did Nangong Mo finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, his "golden vertical pupils" looked towards Suzhou and said with hatred, "Zhao Chen, Duan Mingxue... you will have to pay for this humiliation in blood!"

Although he did not acquire the supernatural power of "being vengeful," he possessed the character of "being vengeful."

……

Inside the inn's courtyard, Zhao Chen wasn't too disappointed that he hadn't managed to keep Nangong Mo. After all, this was something he had planned long ago; he still needed to use this eccentric "mad scholar" to keep chasing after him and causing him trouble.

Of course, we can't let them go easily; the best outcome is to force them to reveal some of their cards now.

He didn't make things difficult for the Nangong family servant who had been replaced by the "Four Dragons Venerable Plate." He simply knocked him unconscious and threw him aside. Then he came to Arisa, who was being controlled by Ming Xueling with the "Tree Man Branch."

After carefully examining the maid-dressed lady, Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction: with such a "trophy" at the superior level of supernatural power, this time the star coins were well spent.

Moreover, there was also the secret treasure that was found on that "Young Master Xingtian" and contained the power of the "Dongxuan" attack.

"What should we do with her?" Ming Xueling asked, pointing to the Western woman who was bound by branches and unable to move.

After his "octopus" form was broken, he suffered a backlash and fell into a coma, from which he has not yet woken up.

"You must have the supernatural ability to control other people, right?" Zhao Chen asked after thinking for a moment.

Now, unless absolutely necessary, he rarely "sells" cultivators above the Gangsha realm into his own ranks. After all, those who can achieve supernatural powers are bound to have good fortune, and the consequences of this will inevitably fall on his shoulders.

Zhao Chen even suspected that the many crises he had encountered since his transmigration were the result of his reckless "selling people" back then.
