Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 369: Demigod Duel
That’s right, Xiao Baoyin not only wants to get the imperial seal, he also wants A Yao’s emperor’s sword.

The reason why he was reluctant to show up was that he was using Xiao Zong as bait to lure Ren Yuan and his party deeper into the territory, until they took the bait completely, and then he would show up to close the net.

"That flying sword is what I want, right?" Xiao Baoyin let go of the swordsman with a broken arm and said to A Yao, "Give it to me, and you can leave with your little lover."

"Sixth Uncle, we can't let them go." Xiao Zong hurriedly said, "We can still get the thing by killing them."

"Shut up." Xiao Baoyin glanced at Xiao Zong with disdain. A fool who couldn't even remember where he put the imperial seal was not worthy of calling him Sixth Uncle.

Then he looked at A Yao and said, "How about it? Tell me your decision."

"Do you keep your word?" A Yao looked at Xiao Baoyin steadily.

"Of course. Who am I? Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back." Xiao Baoyin said proudly.

"Okay," A Yao nodded, and without hesitation, she handed the Ziwei Sword to Xiao Baoyin.

Xiao Baoyin stretched out his hand and pointed, and the invisible puppet string stuck to the flying sword. He hooked his finger, and the puppet string controlled the Ziwei Sword and slowly flew in front of him.

Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but curl up his lips. If he could obtain either the Imperial Seal or the Emperor's Sword, he would become a true god.

Now both of them will become his possession, and he can even be promoted to an ancient god like the dream god Wu Yang!

By then, not to mention unifying the Northern Dynasties, it would be a piece of cake to control Guanzhong and dominate one side.

In an instant, Xiao Baoyin could not help but enter a fantasy moment. He did not even notice the purple light of the Ziwei Sword slashing the puppet line connected to the sword.

As soon as the Ziwei Sword broke free from its restraints, it shot towards his face with lightning speed.

Xiao Baoyin finally reacted and hurriedly dodged sideways. At the same time, countless puppet threads appeared out of thin air, trying to grab the sword, but they were all cut off one by one by the purple sword light.

Everything happened in a flash. Xiao Baoyin only had time to turn his head to avoid the vitals, but the Heavenly Emperor's Sword still pierced his left ear. Immediately, golden blood flowed, and half of his face was stained with blood. How could he still look like a peerless master?

"Well, it really is worthy of being that sword!" Xiao Baoyin was not angry but happy. "Even if it is wrapped in ordinary iron and its power is greatly reduced, it can still break free from my restraints and hurt me."

"Since you don't want to accept my toast, don't blame me for being rude. Even if I kill you, the sword will still be mine." He grinned and looked at Ren Yuan and his gang as if they were dead people.

Xiao Zong thought, isn't this still according to my instructions? But he was very humble now, and didn't dare to say a word, for fear of angering his sixth uncle.

"Let's attack together!" Ren Yuan shouted, and the four masters of the pursuit team used their special moves at the same time and attacked Xiao Baoyin.

"An ant trying to shake a tree!" Xiao Baoyin said as he opened his hands and emitted thousands of transparent silk threads, like a three-dimensional spider web, instantly trapping everyone in the web.

Even the Ziwei Sword was stuck. Although it kept cutting the spider webs, more and more silk threads kept entangled with it, wrapping it into a cocoon, and it could not break free for a while.

"It seems that you are going to die!" Xiao Baoyin said as he manipulated the silk thread to twist off A Yao's head.

A Yao was as strong as iron and steel, and he put up all his strength to resist, but Xiao Baoyin's puppet strings actually broke!
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Besides that sword, you, little girl, are also extraordinary."

“But my skills are still a little shallow.” As he said this, he combined hundreds of thin threads into a puppet string as thick as a finger and stuck it to A-Yao again.

"Let's see if you can hold on this time." Xiao Baoyin said as he used his divine power again. A Yao finally couldn't hold on any longer. His head was pulled to the left, his bones made a tingling sound, and his face turned blood red. Ren Yuan felt his heart ache, and shouted into the air, "Stop watching the show, Chen Shuai!"

"Here they come." Chen Qingzhi's voice sounded out of nowhere, and countless black and white particles appeared in the void, shooting towards the 'spider web'.

Amid the whooshing sounds, Ren Yuan and the others struggled desperately to break free. A Yao tried her best to break free of only one strand of puppet thread, and was easily shot into a pile of rags like a spider web.

Ren Yuan and the others were all freed and fell to the ground. As soon as Ren Yuan landed, he quickly supported his senior sister, checked her injuries and asked, "How is it?"

"It hurts." A Yao's eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time she said it hurt.

“Xiao Baoyin!” Ren Yuan was furious, but he was helpless and could only say, “When I become a demigod, I will chop off his head and let you have your revenge.”

"Yeah." A Yao felt less painful.

But right now, the gap in strength is too big, so we can only count on our own boss...

~~
Xiao Baoyin stared at Chen Qingzhi who appeared out of nowhere.

I saw him in a fluttering white robe, extremely handsome, with a temperament and appearance even better than mine.

This made him inexplicably unhappy, and he sneered, "Is Chen Shuai imitating a stray dog like me to hide his head and show his tail?"

"I can't even retort when you put it that way." Chen Qingzhi rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "This is the first time for the younger generation in the family to go out and gain experience, so the elders must keep an eye on them. Although every failure makes one wiser, it's not worth it if one suffers a big loss."

"But now it's your turn to suffer the loss." Xiao Baoyin said with a tone of an experienced person: "Even if you are a demigod, don't go to other people's homes to cause trouble. Wasn't the lesson I taught you that time enough?"

Xiao Baoyin said this, but his hands did not slow down at all. He burned the divine fire to its strongest point, and the puppet thread he shot out again glowed a mysterious dark gold color.

Thousands of puppet threads madly entangled Chen Qianzhi, trying to bind him like the Emperor's Sword.

"Your Highness is an expert at self-deprecation. It's really hard for us to have a conversation if you're like this." Chen Qingzhi said helplessly, "Besides, I haven't entered Hulao Pass yet, have I?"

He did not dare to be negligent at all. As he spoke, he called back the black and white pieces to protect his body and rotate them, forming a yin and yang fish, which repelled the thousands of puppet threads.

"This is also the territory of the Northern Dynasty!" Xiao Baoyin said in a deep voice, "You are committing a serious crime if you go deep into this place alone."

Seeing that he could not tie up Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Baoyin shouted and simply controlled the thousands of golden threads to weave into a huge "cocoon", finally wrapping Chen Qingzhi inside.

"Can you still keep me here?" Chen Qingzhi smiled casually. Although he was born a scholar, he also inherited half of the god of war. He had a strong will to fight. Three hundred and sixty black and white pieces shot out, blowing the 'cocoon' made of dark gold puppet strings into pieces.

The last black dot on his fingertip turned into a long black knife, and with one stroke he cut a huge hole in the 'cocoon'.

Countless dark gold threads broke, and the cocoon was about to break. However, Xiao Baoyin was not someone to be trifled with. He shouted, "Time Return!"

In the blink of an eye, countless broken dark gold threads were reconnected, and the 'cocoon' that was about to break was restored to its intact state.
