Chapter 1517 The Qiankun Within
"You son of a bitch, you stole the spirit stones and ran away, do you know you almost got us killed!"
Chen Xuan was furious.
This scruffy Taoist was too infuriating; he couldn't stand it any longer.
"Aren't you guys fine? Heh heh, how about I give you two spirit stones?" As the scruffy Taoist spoke, he waved his hand, and the pile of spirit stones disappeared.
Chen Xuan knew that these spirit stones must have been put away by the scruffy Taoist. Hearing this, he became even angrier, "You thief, you only give us two spirit stones, you're really stingy!"
"Two spirit stones are not little!" The scruffy Taoist chuckled wickedly.
Looking at the old face in front of him, Chen Xuan really wanted to slap him, but at this moment, Liu Yu stopped Chen Xuan, "Brother Chen, those stone figures are chasing us, hurry up and run!"
Chen Xuan immediately reacted, those stone figures were still inside the cave.
"What? Did the stone figures get out?"
The scruffy Taoist seemed to know the mechanism of the cave and immediately shouted.
Before his voice could fall, a sound of earth-shattering commotion arose. Several stone figures charged out of the cave, their mountain-splitting axes sharp and gleaming, reflecting a chilling glint under the moonlight.
"Scruffy Taoist, you're lucky. I'll settle the score another day!"
With these words, Chen Xuan fled with Liu Yu!
In the blink of an eye, they had run over two hundred meters. Even a short-distance world champion would be left in the dust at this speed.
"Huh? Why do I feel like the stone figures aren't following?"
Chen Xuan suddenly felt the stone figures and frowned.
"I don't seem to sense the stone figures either," Liu Yu chimed in.
Chen Xuan looked back and indeed, there were no stone figures behind him. He immediately stopped, "Huh? Why didn't the stone figures follow? Did you see where they went?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "I don't know either."
Chen Xuan looked around but couldn't see the stone figures, and he started to ponder, where did the stone figures go?
"Look, over there!"
Liu Yu suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.
Chen Xuan turned his head to look, and the next moment, his expression became wonderfully excited, "This is so f*cking satisfying!"
It turned out that the stone figures had started chasing the scruffy Taoist.
"Speaking of which, why are they chasing the scruffy Taoist?" he was confused.
"Perhaps it's because all the spirit stones are in the scruffy Taoist's hands. Those stone figures can sense the aura of the spirit stones. They couldn't sense it before, so they could only chase us. Now that they sense the aura of the spirit stones, they're chasing the scruffy Taoist."
Liu Yu, as someone from a major sect, knew a lot.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "It's truly satisfying. Let's go watch the show."
He didn't leave; instead, he went to a nearby small hill and watched the scruffy Taoist being chased all over the mountains by the stone figures.
In this scene, how wonderful it would be if there was a pot of tea and some sunflower seeds.
"Brother Chen, I have sunflower seeds here!" Liu Yu actually took out a vacuum-sealed bag of sunflower seeds from his bag.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Chen Xuan gave Liu Yu a thumbs up.
So, the two of them ate sunflower seeds while watching the spectacle, enjoying themselves immensely.
"You two are going too far!"
Seeing two figures here, the scruffy Taoist couldn't see Chen Xuan and Liu Yu clearly and immediately rushed over. But then he saw Chen Xuan and Liu Yu cracking sunflower seeds and watching the show, he was so angry he almost ascended to heaven.
"What's so excessive? You're saying this when we were fighting for our lives inside?"
Chen Xuan chuckled.
"You're kicking me while I'm down..."
The scruffy Taoist was speechless. He gritted his teeth, "Fellow Daoist, quickly lend me a hand. We are on the same side."
"When were we on the same side?"
Chen Xuan sneered, "If we were on the same side, why did you trick us just now?"
The scruffy Taoist coughed twice, shamelessly saying, "That wasn't a strategic withdrawal; it was actually to protect the spirit stones."
Chen Xuan's eyes rolled, "How about this? You give us all the spirit stones, and we'll help you deal with the stone figures."
"No! I can only give you one-third."
"One-third?"
Ye Bufan shook his head with dissatisfaction.
"Half, at most half!" The scruffy Taoist had no choice but to compromise.
Liu Yu blinked and signaled Ye Bufan that half was probably enough, but Ye Bufan did not agree. He had almost died inside just now, so giving only half was too little.
"All of it! Not a single spirit stone less," Ye Bufan said.
"Kid, you're too greedy!" The scruffy Taoist gritted his teeth.
"No, then we have nothing to discuss."
Ye Bufan narrowed his eyes, giving the scruffy Taoist no chance to speak.
Just as the scruffy Taoist was about to say something, a rumbling sound of earth-shattering commotion arose. Rolling killing intent permeated the air, followed by a mountain-splitting giant axe that cleaved down towards the scruffy Taoist's head.
The scruffy Taoist's hands shot out, his palms glowing with a jade-white light, and he firmly grasped the mountain-splitting giant axe. The giant axe could not advance any further.
"Good heavens... so powerful."
Ye Bufan felt that this scruffy Taoist was not as strong as him, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was. He hadn't expected this guy to be so strong, and not just strong, but ridiculously strong. Especially the jade-white luster on his hands, it was definitely extraordinary.
Liu Yu also nodded repeatedly.
"Kid, you're deliberately tricking me!"
The scruffy Taoist roared at Ye Bufan.
In the scruffy Taoist's opinion, Ye Bufan's bargaining with him was just to let the stone figures catch up.
"Why blame me? You came looking for trouble yourself."
Chen Xuan's words almost made the guy spit blood.
"You... Kid, you just wait! If I cooperate with you, I'll be a turtle's egg!"
The scruffy Taoist roared, the jade-white luster on his hands burst forth, and with a push of his arms, the mountain-splitting giant axe was instantly flung away, along with the stone figure.
"What terrifying strength!" Liu Yu also gasped.
However, the scruffy Taoist was indeed very strong, but these stone figures were not just one, but several. As the stone figure was flung away, the remaining stone figures waved their mountain-splitting axes and charged forward. The fierce wind surged, distorting even the air.
Seeing this, the scruffy Taoist's face darkened, and he turned to run.
The stone figures charged forward.
Within a quarter of an hour, the scruffy Taoist ran back, "Kid, I promise you, let's do business."
"Oh, you're back?"
Chen Xuan smiled playfully, surprised at how quickly the scruffy Taoist returned, "What did you say just now?"
He said this while digging his ear.
"Woof woof woof..."
The scruffy Taoist barked with a dark face.
He had said earlier that if he cooperated with Chen Xuan, he would be a dog.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Do you agree or not!" The scruffy Taoist said immediately.
"Alright! Give me the spirit stones." Chen Xuan said.
The scruffy Taoist eagerly took out a yellow cloth bag from his embrace. The bag was not large, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but be curious, could this bag contain its own universe?
"Qiankun bag? Spatial artifact?"
Liu Yu recognized what the cloth bag was at a glance.
He explained, "That's a spatial artifact, with its own universe inside. It's about the size of a room, and its weight isn't particularly heavy."
"I didn't expect there to be such a good thing."
Chen Xuan reached out and snatched the Qiankun bag.
"Kid, that's a spatial artifact, I can't give it to you!"
"If you don't give it to me, how can I transfer the spirit stones? Alright, alright, I'll give it back to you later," Chen Xuan said seriously.
Though he said that, when "later" would be, it was probably never.
The scruffy Taoist naturally knew this, but he had no other choice at the moment, so he had to give up. However, he vowed to get even in the future.
At this moment, a rumbling sound arose. Chen Xuan turned his head and saw several stone figures charging over. These stone figures were truly impervious to blades and spears, water and fire.
They had fought with Chen Xuan and the scruffy Taoist respectively earlier, but they were still unharmed, tireless, like killing machines that knew no fatigue.
