Chapter 948 - , tit-for-tat!
A World Worth Protecting
?
The moment Wang Baole spoke, the lightning around him seemed to understand his words. They could sense his will, and it spread outward with a loud rumble. It didnât affect a large area, only a thousand feet more, however, it transformed into a giant lightning vortex.
The vortex was pitch-black, as if it contained an abyss. A strange suction force emanated from within. It didnât affect cultivators, but it seemed to be extremely attractive to dharmic treasures!
The moment the vortex appeared... before the bell lady could react, the drumstick in front of her, which had taken shape in an instant, suddenly shook violently. It began to tremble violently, and as it trembled, its shadow blurred, it disappeared in an instant!
More accurately, an invisible black hole appeared around it, swallowing it as if it was devouring it. At the same time... an identical drumstick appeared in front of Wang Baole, it was glowing brightly!
All of this happened too quickly. It happened in the blink of an eye. The bell maiden didnât even have time to react. Even though Wang Baole himself had been prepared, he was still shaken by the magical scene. The others were even more so, the drum stick that had taken shape at that moment... wasnât the only one that Wang Baole had snatched away. There were... three of them!
The moment the bell-shaped female drumsticks were formed, The Prodigy of the left Dao first sect, the scholarly youth, and the drumsticks on the mountain where he was were formed as well. They shone with a bright light, and at the same time, the masked woman with the beautyâs mask.., her drumsticks were the same. They shone with a blinding light.
The three drumsticks were formed almost at the same time, attracting everyoneâs attention. Initially, it wouldnât cause any waves. At most, everyone would just work harder. However, after a short period of silence.., a shocking uproar broke out.
âWhatâs Going On!â
âThe drumsticks have been snatched?â
âThank the continent for snatching Xu Yinlingâs drumsticks!â
...
As the sound reverberated, almost everyoneâs eyes instantly focused on where Wang Baole was. Other than the black-robed youth who carried a large sword on his back and had a cold expression on his face, everyone else looked over.
Wang Baoleâs expression remained the same despite being the center of attention. He was already used to it. This was the first time he had heard someone mention the bell ladyâs name, and he felt that it was rather unpleasant to hear.
Xu Yinling? As expected of a person with a bad character. Her name doesnât sound good either. Wang Baole muttered to himself, wang Baoleâs expression was filled with satisfaction. He raised his right hand and grabbed. Immediately, the drumstick formed in front of him charged towards him and landed in his hand.
Almost at the same time that Wang Baole grabbed the drumstick, the bell girl on the distant mountain seemed to have just recovered from her earlier daze. Her expression immediately turned extremely dark, and her eyes were filled with anger, her entire body was trembling, and she began to laugh harshly.
âXie Dalu, you are courting death!âHer voice was filled with intense killing intent, as soon as she said those words, the bell lady charged forward. Like a sharp sword, she sliced through the air, setting off a sonic boom. At the same time, her cultivation erupted.
As she waved her hands, the sound of the bell spread in all directions, forming a wave of sound waves that surged around her like an avalanche. As she formed hand seals, a gigantic arowana appeared behind her. It swayed with its tail, with the sound waves as the ocean, it seemed to be able to destroy everything. It followed behind the Bell Maiden and headed straight for the Lightning Pool where Wang Baole was!
At that moment, there was only one thought in the Bell Maidenâs mind. That was... to kill the extremely detestable Xie Dalu and take back the drumstick.
The intensity of that thought had already surpassed everything in her heart.
In reality, she had never suffered such a huge loss in her entire life. The feeling that she had worked so hard to create it, but it had been snatched away at the moment of success, made her feel like she was going crazy. Her pride, her status.., she couldnât accept such humiliation. Killing intent exploded in her eyes. Her figure moved at an astonishing speed, traversing the distance between Wang Baole and himself. When she appeared, she was outside his lightning pool.
Without any pause, the bell lady, who had been driven into her mind by her anger, charged into the lightning pool. She wanted to pass through it and kill Wang Baole.
The few war slaves that she had secretly developed in the area gritted their teeth and rushed over in an instant. They wanted to join forces with her. However, before they could get close, a loud boom rose into the sky. The bell lady, who had charged into the lightning pool.., she retreated at the same speed.
Her figure was in a sorry state. Her hair was a little burnt. As she retreated, many bolts of lightning chased after her. Even though the bolts of lightning eventually dissipated after she exited the lightning pool, the intense danger they created.., the enraged Bell Lady had no choice but to calm down.
However, there were some things that couldnât be done just because one wanted to. Seeing that the bell lady couldnât charge in, Wang Baole sat cross-legged in the center of the Lightning Pool. He fiddled with the drumsticks in his hands as he looked up at the bell lady and smacked his lips.
âWhy arenât you coming in? Come Over Here!â
âThank you, Dalu!âThe anger in the bell ladyâs eyes surged to the heavens, the killing intent in her heart was even more intense. The emotions that were supposed to remain calm were once again stirred up by Wang Baoleâs words. However, she felt extremely helpless. She had already known after trying out the lightning pool that the other party was in, even if she gave it her all, it would still be difficult for her to reach the center.
The strangeness of the lightning pool was beyond ordinary. It seemed to have fused with the surrounding heaven and earth. Fighting against it was akin to fighting against the world. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to suppress the depression in her heart, she stared at Wang Baole as if she was looking at a dead person. Then, she turned abruptly and charged... Towards a mountain that was seventy percent formed from a drumstick.
The expressions of the three cultivators on the mountain changed when they saw what had happened. One of them was about to speak, but before he could say anything, the bell lady responded with a furious attack.
Amidst the loud boom, waves of sound waves erupted, and the resulting impact forced the three people to retreat.
âIf you want to blame someone, blame Xie Dalu!âAfter saying that, the bell lady ignored the three people and sat cross-legged on the mountain that she had snatched. She catalyzed it while staring at Wang Baole.
At the same time, the three cultivators who had their mountain snatched were filled with rage. However, they knew that this was not the time for them to flare up. A fierce glint flashed across their eyes, and they quickly dispersed and headed for the other mountains, they were going to fight for it.
As a result, other than the scholarly youth and the masked woman who had successfully obtained the qualifications, everyone else was affected. Of course, the black-robed youth and the little dark art girl were not affected as much, at most, they would be the focus of attention, and some greed that had been suppressed would surface.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he watched all of this. He wasnât someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. However, since the other party had targeted him multiple times, snatching a drumstick wasnât enough to vent his anger. Therefore, he quickly formed a hand seal with both hands, he once again performed the art of shifting flowers and connecting wood. This time, his target... was still the bell lady!
The bell lady felt goosebumps all over her body as he stared at her. It wasnât that she hadnât considered the possibility that the other party might try to snatch her away. However, she believed that it was because she hadnât been prepared. She had used the same method in front of her for the second time, she didnât think that she would succeed.
Even so, she still felt uneasy and irritated as she was stared at by someone. She glared fiercely at him. She was about to speak when Wang Baoleâs eyes suddenly widened and he roared loudly.
âDivine might devil slaying lightning, go and fetch the drumstick for me!â
The moment the roar was heard, it immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. It was the same for the Bell Lady. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly formed a seal with her hands. She stood up and unleashed all her cultivation. However, after a long while.., she realized that the drumstick in front of her hadnât changed at all. Then, she heard Wang Baoleâs voice.
âThis time, itâs fake. The next time, itâll be real.â
âThank you! Da! Lu!âAfter being teased like this, the bell lady felt like she was about to explode. She turned her head abruptly and let out a sharp sound at Wang Baole.
Seeing that the other party was glaring at her, Wang Baole snorted. He didnât speak immediately. Instead, he waited for a few breaths. Seeing that the other partyâs drumstick was about to take shape, he spoke slowly and calmly.
âIf I donât make you sour until you become a shadow of me, I wonât be called Xie Dalu!â
