Chapter 814: Chapter 807: Thoughts
After the strike, Qingmu was nearly exhausted, squatting on the ground and gasping for breath.
Originally, he was already covered in injuries, his strength barely restored to about half.
Later, when he tangled with Seductive Lady again, it made his already unrecovered injuries worse, almost reaching a breaking point.
If not for that, he wouldn’t have just yelled at Chen Hai, urging him to flee this place promptly.
Though the strike from the Golden Jiao Scissors was incredibly powerful, the drain on Qingmu was absolutely not small.
After all, he was only temporarily in control of this Supreme Treasure, not fully refining it and making it his own.
Compared to Chen Hai, the true owner, Qingmu had to spend much more strength to wield the Golden Jiao Scissors.
“Qingmu, with this snip, did this woman Seductive Lady just die like that?” At this moment, Chen Hai looked suspicious, having circled around the obliterated area of Seductive Lady several times.
In that instant, he also did exert some effort, using the Eye of Greed to directly snatch away Seductive Lady’s Sixth Grade Lotus Platform.
If not, with this Innate Spiritual Treasure protecting her, just deflecting the Golden Jiao Scissors for a moment might have created unforeseen twists in the battle against Seductive Lady.
If such a situation occurred, what would the result be? It’s really hard to say.
After all, even though the Golden Jiao Scissors was powerful, Qingmu, whose injuries were nearly collapsing, only had one strike left in him.
As for Chen Hai, although temporarily unharmed, the power he could unleash with the Golden Jiao Scissors paled compared to when Qingmu wielded it.
The main reason for this result was that Chen Hai’s own strength was somewhat lacking.
Think about it — the same sharp knife in a child’s hand versus in the hand of a strong man — does that feel the same?
“Nowadays, in the Primordial Land, the many Quasi-Saint strong all basically achieve Dao by the Three Corpses Cutting Method.”
“Seductive Lady is the same; the one just defeated by the Golden Jiao Scissors was just one of her Three Corpses Avatars.”
“Destroying the avatar can only gravely injure her; to truly kill her isn’t so easy!”
Qingmu sighed and explained to Chen Hai.
“Just a Three Corpses Avatar?” Hearing this answer, Chen Hai was dumbfounded.
Facing Seductive Lady, he almost used every means at his disposal.
Even forced to the limit, he temporarily handed over the Supreme Treasure, Golden Jiao Scissors, to Qingmu.
After exerting so much effort, the Seductive Lady they struggled to defeat was merely an avatar…
This harsh result left Chen Hai extremely frustrated.
“In the future, if encountering a Quasi-Saint, avoid if possible; if forced, try not to provoke such beings!” Feeling upset, Chen Hai sighed deeply.
If he had known earlier how difficult it was to handle Quasi-Saint strong, this time, when Seductive Lady blocked his way, he might have talked his way past her!
Confronting her head-on without hesitation, as he did, was reckless.
Luckily, the Golden Jiao Scissors lived up to its reputation, and Qingmu wielded it with reliability, not letting him down.
Thinking thus, Chen Hai’s gaze fell on the Golden Jiao Scissors in Qingmu’s hand.
After cutting Seductive Lady’s avatar in half, Qingmu was breathing heavily, but he held the restored Golden Jiao Scissors tightly.
Although he saved Qingmu’s life, making him swear loyalty to him by Heavenly Dao Oath, the oath was lenient, barely binding Qingmu over certain matters.
For instance, now that the Golden Jiao Scissors was in Qingmu’s hand, if he got greedy and didn’t want to return it, it wasn’t constrained by the oath.
Due to this, when first facing Seductive Lady, Chen Hai knew his strength couldn’t unleash the treasures’ full power but didn’t hand over the Golden Jiao Scissors to Qingmu right away.
Not until it was unavoidable did he reluctantly hand the treasure to Qingmu.
Feeling Chen Hai’s intense gaze on the Golden Jiao Scissors, Qingmu naturally understood what Chen Hai implied.
Struggling within, his expression showed hesitation.
This top-tier Spiritual Treasure in his hands could enormously boost his combat strength.
Qingmu experienced its power firsthand with the recent snip.
Frankly, with this treasure, he feared no Quasi-Saint strong of his level.
With the Golden Jiao Scissors’ power, he would be unmatched; no one else could claim supremacy before him.
The allure of such a treasure was immense for Qingmu; even thinking, he understood clearly.
A treasure already in hand, expecting him to just give it back to Chen Hai was indeed hard to accept.
“Though treasures are good, they are not omnipotent.”
“Qingmu, you must know where I got the Golden Jiao Scissors.”
“If I were powerful enough, all treasures under heaven would be under my control, mine for the taking.”
“Serve me well, and you won’t lack Spiritual Treasures.”
Qingmu’s expression, caught in Chen Hai’s eye, he quickly understood Qingmu’s thoughts.
Lightly brushing it off, he smiled and spoke slowly.
As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform he forcibly took from Seductive Lady’s avatar appeared in his hand.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure, though just seized and not fully refined, struggled continuously, ready to escape any moment.
“Master, your Golden Jiao Scissors is indeed a fine treasure!” After much internal struggle, Qingmu sighed bitterly.
With a release of his hand, the tightly held Golden Jiao Scissors turned into a golden light and entered Chen Hai’s body.
“Slaying Seductive Lady’s avatar, Qingmu, you undoubtedly deserve the most credit.”
“Though her Sixth Grade Lotus Platform is of moderate rank, it’s still an Innate Spiritual Treasure.”
“For merit, there’s reward; take this to use!”
With a slight sigh of relief, Chen Hai smiled and casually handed the Lotus Platform to Qingmu.
