C3580 Black Thunder City
In response to Qing Zhao's question, the blood mantis paused... He did have such thoughts, but he didn't want to perish together with Qing Zhao. No matter how good a treasure was, one had to have the life to possess it.
Perhaps some people would say that the blood mantis had fled with Qing Zhao earlier, and he'd held Qing Zhao in his hand. If he attacked at such a close distance, then he would definitely succeed.
However, don't forget that Qing Zhao was pretending to be crazy, and not really going crazy... At that time, if the blood mantis attacked, then the most likely thing wouldn't be to kill Qing Zhao, but rather that Qing Zhao would counterattack at any time, and then the two of them would perish together.
After a moment of silence.
The blood mantis said, "How can you not have any thoughts when you're on the ground?"
Qing Zhao remained silent. He would definitely have thoughts when he was on the ground as well. After all, the reason he attacked Jiang Ting was not only to increase his reputation, but also to covet Jiang Ting's wealth.
When the blood mantis saw this, it smiled and said in a low voice, "If we were to fight... the most likely outcome would be mutual destruction."
Qing Zhao spoke again, "What about now?"
The blood mantis couldn't have saved him just because of greed. There should have been other factors.
"I told you to deal with Jiang Ting."
After saying that, the blood mantis tilted its head. "If you don't have any external items, you won't be able to recover from your injuries without decades of time... Don't say that you don't hate him."
... "" After a period of silence, Qing Zhao revealed a bitter expression. "I am not his match... and you are also not his match, the consolation of a loser."
" You have resources. "
Without waiting for an answer, the blood mantis narrowed its eyes. "I know that you are very wealthy. It won't be difficult for you to exchange for some top grade healing pill... Both of us will recover from our injuries and continue to attack him. "
Qing Zhao didn't agree. "You don't have any enmity with him, do you? Knowing that we're no match for him or attacking him isn't something a smart person would do. "
Of course, he didn't directly refuse!
" When you accept a mission, you must always complete it. "
Then, the blood mantis slowly closed its eyes. "When I really return to the sect... hehe... Could it be that the entire Tian Lan Continent knows that I, the blood mantis, who is at the peak of the Earth Realm, have my life hanging by a thread and that I have been beaten to the point of being terrified? "
Qing Zhao thought for a moment before coming to a realization.
Don't forget the Violet Frost Sect behind Jiang Ting.
During the Six Sects Competition, the Devil Dao Young Lord Chi Xie was defeated by Jiang Ting. If the witnesses of the Six Sects Competition were to spread to the entire Tian Lan... But... It was impossible for the news to spread throughout Tian Lan in just a few months. Unless... Someone behind the scenes added fuel to the fire and spread the news.
Who would take the initiative to help spread the news? Apart from the Purple Frost Sect, what other sects could there be!
Now, the blood mantis, with its cultivation base at the peak of the Earth Realm, had assassinated Jiang Ting, who was at the early stage of the Earth Realm. In the end, it was beaten until it ran back to the Black Feather Pavilion in fear. If the blood mantis really went back, it would take at most a month. This news would spread across the entire Tian Lan Continent.
At that time, Jiang Ting's reputation would become even more terrifying. At the same time, the blood mantis would become a laughing stock!
Everything was there, and nothing could be said about it.
Seeing that Qing Zhao had reacted, the blood mantis spoke again, "How did your five square formations get broken? The five phalanxes were isolated from the outside world. His sword formation was unable to escape the suppression of the five phalanxes. Immortal arts... the five phalanxes cut off the outside world, and his immortal arts shouldn't be able to be used. Immortal Arts and sword formations can't be used. Why are your phalanxes still broken?"
Five phalanxes... It was the killing move of Qing Zhao who was ranked on the prodigy roll. It was also the reason why he didn't use his confidence to challenge Jiang Ting until the end.
Unfortunately, it was still broken.
When Qing Zhao heard this, his eyes instantly revealed slight palpitations. Ice magic!
What a terrifying ice magic.
After a short while, he suppressed his fear and muttered, "Ice magic."
The blood mantis revealed a look of doubt. "Some ice spell can break through five phalanxes? It would be better to say that he unsealed his cultivation and used his Earth Realm cultivation to forcefully break through your five phalanxes. It would be more convincing."
"His ice..."
After a moment of silence, Qing Zhao shook his head slightly. "His ice magic, its power, and the range of his sword formations and Immortal Arts are also much larger than Immortal Arts and sword formations... His ice magic is even more terrifying than sword formations and Immortal Arts."
...
Somewhere within the Titanic Crescent Sect.
There was a city located on a plain. From the sky, one could see that apart from the city, there were also many villages and towns on the plain.
This city wasn't very big. It couldn't be compared to the Wind Slasher City that Jiang Ting had visited before, nor could it be compared to the Stone City.
However, it was also much larger than a mortal's city.
This city was called Profound Thunder City.
In the sky not far from Black Thunder City.
Jiang Ting stood alone on the deck of the flying ship's silver dragon, his gaze quietly looking forward... He saw Black Thunder City, and also saw the large number of villages and towns around Black Thunder City.
After the blood mantis fled with Qing Zhao, he chatted with the numerous Golden Core cultivators that surrounded him for a while before leaving.
He came to the territory of the Giant Fault Sect to travel.
The path to the heavens that was most worth visiting had yet to be opened... Therefore, there seemed to be no place within the territory of the Giant Fault Sect that was worth traveling in. Thus, he had chosen a random direction to travel in.
Wherever he went, he traveled.
Calculating the time, he had been traveling casually for almost a month.
He had also passed by many mortal countries and cities. He had passed by many markets, but none of them caught his attention.
This Black Thunder City...
Jiang Ting had originally planned to take a detour and leave according to the customs of the market cities and towns he had passed by before. However, after sizing it up for a while, Jiang Ting's eyes slightly twitched.
Just looking at the outside, Black Thunder City very much resembled a mortal country. After all, there were too many towns and villages nearby.
But... in reality, it was not.
Even in the flying boat, even if he did not activate his divine sense and only sensed with his senses, he could still sense that there were several Golden Core cultivators in Profound Thunder City, close to a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even more in the Qi Refining stage.
There were many gathering places for mortals nearby, so it was impossible for Mystic Thunder City to hide.
Immortal cultivators did not have the habit of living together with mortals... But from the geographical location and aura of Profound Thunder City, Profound Thunder City was a place where Immortal cultivators and mortals lived together.
Just like the Wind Slashing City within the Autumn Water Pavilion, Immortal cultivators and mortals lived together.
Since the city was not ordinary... Jiang Ting couldn't help but feel interested.
An ordinary place wasn't worth exploring. If it wasn't ordinary, then it was worth looking at. However, he wasn't in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he began to recall the map and the information he had read.
"Black Thunder City..." After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting revealed a hint of uncertainty.
He had indeed not seen any records of Black Thunder City in the Purple Frost Sect.
However, it seemed like he had seen a sect called the Black Thunder Sect before.0
Of course, the Mystic Thunder Sect's influence was not strong.
According to the records of the Violet Frost Sect, the current Profound Thunder Sect didn't have a Soul Formation cultivator guarding it...
If the six sects of the Endless Sky were considered transcendent first-rate sects, then Stone City's Ruyi Temple, and the Scarlet Flame Sect on the Heavenspan Road were second-rate sects.
Other than that, there were no other sects with a Nascent Soul cultivator guarding them. Instead, they had a Gold Core cultivator, who was a third-grade sect. The Profound Thunder Sect was a third-grade sect.
Sects with no Gold Core were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and were not worthy of being called small-scale sects.
Of course, to the six sects of the Endless Sky, other than the six sects, all other sects and forces were small sects.
