Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 174 The Cunning Wu De

Just as the voice of the Old Ancestor Kongkong suddenly rang out like a great bell, Ji Daoyi, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, and Wu De, the fat Taoist who was watching the show with his array plate protecting him, were also startled!

Ji Daoyi, who had been fighting with ease, suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Wu De, the fat Taoist priest who was still slacking off, was also hesitating whether to take action and end his slacking-off time.

He could actually tell that these stone statue monsters didn't have much energy inside them, but unlike Ji Daoyi, he didn't have the mental power to probe their specific situation.

He originally planned to see what tricks Ji Daoyi had up his sleeve, so that even if the two of them fell out, he could handle the situation calmly.

Now that this unexpected event has occurred, he has no choice but to consider changing his strategy.

Ji Daoyi and Wu De exchanged a glance. Clearly, they realized that a new group of people had arrived besides them, and these people were all quite influential.

Suddenly, the whole scene became eerie, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Ji Daoyi spoke first: "Fatty, we need to speed things up. We can't keep delaying like this, or the contents of the treasure vault won't be up to us anymore."

"Understood. You take two seats, I'll take two. Let's see who takes care of them first!"

"can!"

Ji Daoyi and Wu De both stared intently at the four enormous beast-head stone statues before them.

Without hesitation, Wu De reached into the storage bag hanging at his waist and quickly took out a magical artifact that emitted a strange light.

The treasure appeared in his hand in an instant, and as Wu De poured his Yuan energy into it, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Immediately afterwards, Wu De muttered incantations and swung the treasure in his hand violently toward the two stone statues in front of him.

In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot out like lightning, striking the two stone statues with unerring accuracy. The statues, enveloped in the light, were instantly frozen in place, as if under a spell.

Seeing this, Wu De did not stop. He waved his sleeve again, and with a slight spatial fluctuation, the two stone statues that were originally standing still disappeared without a trace!

After doing all this, Wu De's expression remained unchanged, as if subduing a stone statue with the power of a god was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

This maneuver secretly startled Ji Daoyi, who was fighting on the sidelines.

To subdue the stone statue so easily, one must rely not only on a powerful treasure, but also on skillful control over it. Clearly, he has reached a level of consummate skill, and the treasure consumes very little of his energy.

As for whether there would be any other costs, Ji Daoyi didn't know.

However, Ji Daoyi did not become intimidated by Wu De because of this.

Although he doesn't possess as many enviable treasures as Wu De, he also has his own trump card to be proud of—his incredibly powerful mental strength.

At this moment, Ji Dao's eyes narrowed, and he concentrated all his energy to mobilize the surging spiritual power within his body.

He formed a series of complex and profound hand seals, and then suddenly pointed at the remaining two stone statues.

An invisible and colorless spiritual shock, yet containing boundless power, slammed straight into the two stone statues.

In the blink of an eye, the power supply that had been flowing continuously to the stone statue was abruptly cut off! Without the power supply, the stone statue became motionless, like a machine without power.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Dao easily stored the two stone statues, which had lost their ability to resist, into his storage ring, as easily as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

After they each successfully dealt with their own stone statues, they turned to look at each other simultaneously.

When their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on both of their faces.

This smile was both an acknowledgment and respect for each other's strength, and also a sign that they both possessed the power to deal with those at the Divine Realm.

This was also thanks to the fact that the stone statues lacked energy and that no one was controlling them; otherwise, Ji Daoyi would not have been able to resolve the situation so easily.

Just after they dealt with the four stone statues, the Four Beasts Formation that had trapped them vanished without a trace, like a phantom.

Ji Daoyi turned to look at Wu De beside him and said with a solemn expression, "Let's go! We can't stay here any longer. I estimate that they will notice the pit soon. Once they find the tunnel, they will jump down as well and follow our trail."

Wu De nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating his agreement with Ji Daoyi's opinion, but he did not set off immediately.

He reached into the storage bag hanging at his waist, and after a moment of rummaging, pulled out a uniquely shaped array plate with flashing runes on it.

Ji Daoyi didn't understand what Wu De was trying to do and was about to ask him why.

Wu De raised the corner of his mouth in a sly smile, and continued, "We can't let them get away with this so easily. We can't just risk our lives and suffer hardships to clear away these obstacles, while those who come later simply follow behind and reap the benefits! Since that's the case, we might as well take advantage of the time we still have and add some obstacles for them, which will slow down the time it takes for them to catch up with us!"

After saying that, Wu De gripped the array plate tightly with both hands and began to concentrate on injecting spiritual power to activate the intricate array patterns on it. Then, Wu De threw it into the air, and the surrounding environment changed instantly.

Wu De clapped his hands lightly with a smile, then turned to Ji Daoyi and said slowly, "Alright, we can go now! This illusion array should be able to hold off those guys for a while."

After saying that, he nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Daoyi, standing to the side, was filled with astonishment. Looking at Wu De, he thought to himself: "I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning, but he's also incredibly wealthy! He just threw out all sorts of array plates and treasures, even using an array plate to buy time. I always thought I was quite rich, content with just a few cultivation pills. Compared to Wu De, I'm practically a beggar."

At the same time, he realized that he still had a lot to learn and improve, so the idea of ​​traveling and exploring the continent was planted in his mind.

Not long after, Wu De, Ji Daoyi, and his partner Yueya set off on their journey again.
