Chapter 694 - 597: Dirty Things Reign Supreme
"I tricked you once, you tricked me once, we’re even now!"
"You brat, I didn’t expect you to be so resilient. Such a great force, yet you’re not hurt," Bai Xianzhi said with a somewhat regretful tone.
"Of course, but I’m puzzled as to why your clothes are filthy yet you still have such immense power."
Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s question, Bai Xianzhi burst into laughter, revealing a white bellyband inside, proudly saying, "See, this is my true source of power! The outer clothing is just a decoy!"
Seeing the bellyband, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, holding his stomach, "I don’t laugh easily unless I can’t help it."
Zhao Yi laughed again while Bai Xianzhi looked at Zhao Yi coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
"Laugh all you want, you don’t have many days to live, so laugh to your heart’s content!"
Just as Bai Xianzhi finished speaking, he realized Zhao Yi had vanished. By the time he understood, Zhao Yi had already rescued the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
"Are those larvae you ate still there?"
"What larvae?"
"Are you stupid or what, those disgusting things!"
"I still have a few in my stomach!"
"That’s good, using that stuff might be able to subdue the old thing!"
While Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal were discussing their plan in the Spiritual World, Bai Xianzhi had already put on his clothes. He waved his hands, and countless threads formed a massive web, encircling Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. He slowly passed through the web, starting to contract continuously.
As the web drew closer, the magic Zhao Yi unleashed proved futile, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal grew anxious and wanted to spit out the filth early, but Zhao Yi stopped him.
He raised his fist and punched himself directly in the face, blood spattered out, creating a hole in the net. Zhao Yi took the opportunity to escape with the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.
"I didn’t expect you to realize the truth and find the weak spot."
"You’re afraid of filth, naturally these things must fear it too!"
Zhao Yi cautiously looked at the opponent, contemplating how to approach him, realizing the opponent didn’t want to engage in close combat with him!
"You old thing, you actually ambushed me, see how I’ll deal with you!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal suddenly went berserk, a deluge of water surged towards Bai Xianzhi!
Zhao Yi not only wasn’t afraid when he saw this, but was extremely delighted, as water can cleanse the body!
He rushed forward, pretending to be controlled, intending to seize the Nine Dragon Jade Seal in the process.
Seeing Bai Xianzhi enter the flood, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal smirked, explaining the plan in the Spiritual World, enlightening Zhao Yi!
He ascended above the flood, spewing blood and casting a spell, in the blink of an eye, the blood transformed into a blood rain, turning the flood red.
"Ah!"
Bai Xianzhi hadn’t yet rushed out of the flood when he felt a scorching sensation around him, the damage to his eyes was particularly severe, he quickly retreated and commanded his silk to form a shield around him to fend off a sneak attack by Zhao Yi.
But he forgot the blood was just as effective on the web.
"Old man, consider yourself lucky to be embraced by me!"
Bai Xianzhi’s vision had returned. He realized that not only had the opponent saved himself, but also tore open his clothes, revealing the white bellyband. Yet, the towering flood had vanished inexplicably.
"What on earth are you up to?"
"Naturally, to kill you!"
Becoming the size of a worm, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal appeared in front of Bai Xianzhi’s chest.
"Ugh!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal regurgitated the foul stuff it had swallowed previously, instantly soiling the white bellyband, which began emitting white smoke with a very acrid smell.
"Ah!"
Bai Xianzhi howled in agony, breaking free from Zhao Yi’s binding. Zhao Yi released him, and Bai Xianzhi stumbled blindly around the mountain as if he were blinded.
Countless mulberry trees were knocked over, countless mountain rocks smashed to pieces, Bai Xianzhi waved his hands, his immense power colliding with the mountain, resulting in a massive explosion.
By this time, Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal had reached the foot of the mountain. Watching the frenzied Bai Xianzhi, Zhao Yi felt a surge of emotion.
"Do you think he’ll be okay?"
"Master, I understand your feelings, but if you don’t eliminate him, he’ll end up eliminating us!"
"I know, I’m just a little sad."
As the two conversed, Bai Xianzhi suddenly vanished from the mountain.
"The fact that you can say such words proves your conscience hasn’t died out. It’s no regret losing to you,"
Bai Xianzhi’s voice came from behind, startling them.
Turning around, they found Bai Xianzhi had aged dramatically, his face creased with wrinkles, his hair white, eyes lifeless, contrasting sharply with his previous scholarly image.
"Have I scared you?"
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine, just need a little time."
Bai Xianzhi waved his hand, and the barrier behind him disappeared. Zhao Yi was secretly elated; it meant they had passed this trial.
"I’m really curious, what was that filthy stuff?"
Bai Xianzhi’s tone suddenly turned unwilling.
"At the start, there was a Shepherd who gathered a lot of larvae, truly disgusting things. But at the time, not eating them meant not recovering our strength, so the Nine Dragon Jade Seal ate a lot."
"And in the previous trial, I ate a ton of weird fish."
Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal recounted in detail what they had eaten, causing Bai Xianzhi to feel a wave of nausea.
"Stop, I’ve heard enough."
Bai Xianzhi beckoned gently, causing a mulberry tree to fly down the mountain to Zhao Yi.
"Take this tree as a gift for you."
"I have nothing to exchange with you!"
"I said, it’s a gift!"
"Are you setting me up again?"
"You brat, I said it’s a gift! Just take it!"
Bai Xianzhi, annoyed by Zhao Yi’s barrage of questions, erupted in anger, causing Zhao Yi to grab the object and run off.
"Old man, goodbye!"
Watching Zhao Yi waving from afar, Bai Xianzhi allowed a slight smile to cross his face.
After leaving Celestial Silkworm Mountain, Zhao Yi and Bai Xianzhi found a clean place to rest.
After the battle, both had depleted their resources, so their stomachs growled with hunger. Yet Zhao Yi couldn’t care less, staring joyfully at the Nine Dragon Box containing the silk.
"The tiger said, just weave the silk in water and pull it out to make a fishing net!"
"I know! Now be quiet!"
Zhao Yi crouched on the ground, cautiously weaving the silk. He thought it would be quite simple, but by the time he pulled it out, the sky had turned dark.
Only then did Zhao Yi realize he had spent several hours.
To test the quality, Zhao Yi had the Nine Dragon Jade Seal expand continually to apply pressure on the net, yet the net showed no signs of damage.
"Looks like this thing is a treasure. If we can take it with us, we can catch the protagonist. With it, he won’t be able to use the Space Law!"
Zhao Yi happily packed the net away, preparing to find something to eat. However, glancing around, there was nothing but stones and mountains, not a morsel in sight.
"If only these rocks were edible!"
Zhao Yi sat on a rock, only to be bounced off.
"What the heck is happening!"
In the distance, a chorus of wolf howls resonated.
