Chapter 152: Sorry, Got Carried Away in Fighting
Well, it's like you're sleeping soundly at home, but then you're jolted awake by a violent commotion. When you get up, you find that your home has been dug up by an excavator.
Anyone would be a bit grumpy when woken up like that, right?
Especially since Chen Xia's external incarnation had hidden itself really deep in order to avoid attracting attention. It was right in the center of the dead star.
Chen Xia really couldn't understand how these people could dig him out even under such circumstances.
Even tomb raiding isn't this absurd.
His main consciousness was now completely with his external incarnation, while his main body was in a semi-sleeping state in the cave dwelling and wasn't in any danger.
"Is this a rare treasure?" The figure with a soft and feminine voice frowned as he looked at Chen Xia and asked the tall woman behind him.
The tall woman was also a bit bewildered and replied hesitantly, "There shouldn't be a human-shaped rare treasure, but the world is so big that anything is possible. For example, it could be something like a weapon spirit."
"There's indeed such a possibility. There are records in ancient books. If it's really a weapon spirit, then this rare treasure would be truly remarkable." There was a bit more delight in the tone of the figure with a soft and feminine voice.
The old man in golden armor rolled his eyes, his expression changing constantly, looking back and forth between Chen Xia and the figure with a soft and feminine voice.
Chen Xia took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his angry emotions. He didn't want to see blood right after waking up. He looked at the several people and asked.
"You've demolished my home. What do you have to say about it?"
The figure with a soft and feminine voice giggled, raised two fingers, and said with a coquettish laugh in a man's voice.
"This place is too small to accommodate you, this rare treasure. I've come here especially to invite you out. Just recognize me as your master, and you can have whatever you want."
Chen Xia raised his eyebrows, took another deep breath, and there was a bit more impatience in his tone. "I'll give you one more chance to rephrase your words. I hope you'll cherish it, because I don't often give people chances."
The figure with a soft and feminine voice hesitated for a moment and didn't reply. Instead, he asked the people behind him, "Are weapon spirits always so unruly?"
"Yes." The tall woman nodded. "The more powerful the weapon spirit is, the prouder it is. Presumably, this rare treasure must be quite domineering, so this weapon spirit is so confident!"
A weapon spirit that could take shape and possess such intelligence was rare in the entire star region. Generally, it was an extremely domineering existence.
This was why the tall woman was so certain.
"Good!" The figure with a soft and feminine voice nodded with a smile. "The more domineering, the better. Once I tame it, it will surely make me even more powerful!"
The old man in golden armor, who was not far away, rolled his eyes, his mind was eager, and his expression was gloomy.
Now he was outnumbered and already at a disadvantage. If he just watched helplessly as the figure with a soft and feminine voice took this rare treasure, he would have no chance of turning the situation around.
Not only would he be constantly suppressed by the figure with a soft and feminine voice, but he might even lose his life.
The old man in golden armor definitely didn't want to face such an outcome, so he immediately sent a mental message to the Three-eyed Boy.
"Wait for my signal. Then you immediately pretend to run away to attract their attention. I'll take this chance to seize this weapon spirit and turn the situation around!"
The Three-eyed Boy was first stunned and then nodded blankly. "Uh... okay."
Chen Xia rubbed his head. He really couldn't understand these people. He let out a breath and finally asked.
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll handle this in my own way."
"Now!" The old man in golden armor suddenly shouted loudly, accompanied by a wave of spiritual energy that made the Three-eyed Boy's ears ache.
The Three-eyed Boy quickly swayed his body and hurriedly fled into the distance.
The figure with a soft and feminine voice didn't pay much attention. He just glanced back and pursed his lips, signaling the people behind him to catch the Three-eyed Boy.
But in that instant, the old man in golden armor spat out a big mouthful of blood. His whole body seemed to be boiling, and his aura reached an extremely terrifying level.
He had spent his whole life cultivating by striving for everything. Whether it was his cultivation at the sixth level of the Overturning Sea Realm or his current status, he had fought for them all by himself.
Now that he was at a disadvantage, he had to fight and try even harder!
The old man in golden armor's speed was so fast that it distorted time. Before the figure with a soft and feminine voice could react, he had already appeared behind Chen Xia, grabbed his head, and laughed wildly as he threatened.
"If you dare to take a step forward, I'll destroy this weapon spirit. None of us will get it!"
Chen Xia raised his head and glanced sideways at the old man in golden armor who was grabbing his head.
Some people are really stupid, and saying they're like looking for something in the toilet with a lantern might even be an understatement.
Chen Xia wasn't a bloodthirsty person. Even though he had been dug out by these people, he didn't think about killing them at first. He just wanted an apology.
Well, now it seemed that he had no choice but to fight.
"Wait! If you let go of the weapon spirit now, I can let you leave. Otherwise, even if you destroy the weapon spirit, you'll still die here!" The figure with a soft and feminine voice said in a deep voice, with a bit of anger in his tone.
"Kill me?" The old man in golden armor sneered. "Our cultivations are similar. If I'm only focused on escaping, how can you kill me? Do you think you can rely on those useless people behind you?"
The figure with a soft and feminine voice gritted his teeth, slowly took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said again.
"It'll take you time to tame the weapon spirit. With me here, you can't tame it. So let's just stay in a stalemate here. Wait for other cultivators to come and reap the benefits, or wait for the Vast Heaven Sword Sea to react and send people to deal with us?"
As the disadvantaged party, the old man in golden armor wasn't panicked at all. "If that's the case, that's not bad either. I can offer this weapon spirit to the Vast Heaven Sword Sea and get some benefits."
When Chen Xia heard this sentence, he frowned deeply.
Before, he had just listened casually to their talk about taming or destroying. At most, he would just beat this old man up and let it go.
But what was the deal with offering it to the Vast Heaven Sword Sea?
He had just escaped from the Vast Heaven Sword Sea!
Suddenly, a brilliant sword light burst out from Chen Xia's eyes as he glanced sideways at the old man in golden armor.
It seemed that the world had shifted for a moment.
The old man in golden armor's hands were empty, and his head felt tight.
Chen Xia held his head and commented, "Your brain is so small. No wonder you're so stupid."
The old man in golden armor's expression was horrified. The spiritual energy in his body vibrated crazily. His cultivation at the sixth level of the Overturning Sea Realm surged out madly at this moment, but none of it could be used. It was all suppressed by Chen Xia within his body.
"Be quiet." Chen Xia let go of the hand that was holding the old man's head and instead slapped him.
Boom!
A terrifying sonic boom exploded on the old man in golden armor's head. The whole man fell sideways to the ground and sank into a deep pit.
"Is this really a weapon spirit?" The figure with a soft and feminine voice was a bit stunned and asked the people behind him again.
"Fuck your weapon spirit!" Chen Xia had already reached in front of him and slapped him firmly on the face, getting a solid feeling.
Boom!
There was another loud noise, and the dead star shook a little.
Chen Xia shook his hand, slightly raised his head, and asked the people behind.
"Who else wants to say something?"
These cultivators were so scared that their spines went cold and their bodies were even trembling.
The tall woman forcibly suppressed her fear and said respectfully.
"Senior, you..."
Slap!
Suddenly, a loud slap hit the tall woman, making her head tilt to one side, her head buzzing, and her face blank.
Chen Xia had a calm expression and wiped his hands.
"Sorry, I got carried away."
It was a rather insincere apology.
