Chapter 130 Stubborn Powerhouse_1

“Friend Zhang, you’re not here for the first time, are you? You’re so nervous!” Xu Mu teased.

Backed into a corner by Xu Mu using martial methods as a threat, and by a tremendous temptation, Zhang Tianluo eventually chose to submit.

But of course, she only surrendered in action, but she was still verbally stubborn.

“So what if I am? I’m not nervous! I’ve seen a lot of this stuff!”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive!”

“Then here I come!”

“Come on then, who’s afraid of… Ah!”

“Can you give me the martial arts technique now?”

Zhang Tianluo cleared off all the dirt from her body with a disgusted look.

“Of course!”

Xu Mu took out the manual of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill and tossed it over.

“You’re really giving it to me?”

Now it was Zhang Tianluo’s turn to be a bit flustered.

She thought the other party was going to use some other method to harass her.

After all, this method was too precious.

If it were up to her, she certainly wouldn’t give it up so easily.

Could it be a fake?

Now since he has made the divine oath, he shouldn’t deceive me with a fake.

Unless he doesn’t want to live anymore!

Zhang Tianluo, somewhat suspicious, picked it up and checked it out.

When she saw the name of the manual, she doubted that she was hallucinating, so she rubbed her eyes.

“The Twelve Startle Cicada Skill?”

A rush of blood went straight to her brain, but thanks to Zhang Tianluo’s considerable restraint, she didn’t immediately explode.

Probably just a similar name.

Or maybe this is the real thing as stated in the legend.

She opened the manual and started to inspect it.

One page!

Two pages!

Three pages!

Bang!

An angry Zhang Tianluo picked up the manual of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill and aimed it at Xu Mu’s head, but Xu Mu, who was already on guard, easily dodged it.

“I’ll slaughter you today, no matter what!”

Zhang Tianluo slapped her storage bag on her waist and summoned a fork made of bone, ready to attack Xu Mu.

She was genuinely steamed this time. She had plenty of such manuals in her storeroom.

They were not worth a single hair of hers!

“Little Luo, don’t get excited. Let me explain!”

“What’s there to explain, you bastard, you dare to break your oath!”

Zhang Tianluo was furious beyond measure.

“I haven’t broken it.” Xu Mu calmly replied.

“If you haven’t, then what’s with this manual?”

Zhang Tianluo pointed at the manual scattered all over the floor, fuming.

“This is the manual I’ve been cultivating.”

“Impossible! This manual is a fake, no one throughout the Outer Sea was able to cultivate it successfully!”

“Just because others can’t cultivate it doesn’t mean I can’t, and even if someone did, do you think they would broadcast it?”

That actually seemed to make a bit of sense.

Zhang Tianluo started to hesitate.

After all, Xu Mu had made an oath. He wouldn’t joke with his own life.

But in that case, didn’t her sacrifice turn out to be a joke?

“So what do I do now?” Zhang Tianluo gritted her teeth.

“What do you do? That’s none of my business, I’ve already given it to you! Farewell!”

You…”

Xu Mu’s inconsiderate action almost made Zhang Tianluo vomit blood from anger.

“I’ll kill you, you scoundrel!”

Zhang Tianluo commanded the bone trident to turn into a white light and blasted towards Xu Mu. Xu Mu easily dodged it and conjured several silver thunderbolts in a wave of his hand, striking Zhang Tianluo.

The protective spiritual power shield was as if nonexistent in front of the silver thunderbolts, being penetrated directly.

When the thunderbolts fell on her, Zhang Tianluo just swayed a bit, and her body didn’t freeze on the spot like when they first met.

“It seems you’ve prepared a lot of measures during this time.”

Xu Mu smiled, unsurprised.

The silver illusionary thunder could penetrate the spiritual power shield, but it wasn’t invincible. As a cultivator, there’re a thousand ways to counteract it.

For instance, there’re specific Soul Suppressing Talismans in talismans that can resist this kind of attack.

In addition, there are Soul Stabilizing Beads and magic artifacts related to the soul.

However, the chances of most cultivators encountering such an attack are slim, and in addition, these magic artifacts are extremely hard to find, so they often are not prepared.

But if a large price is paid, it’s not impossible to find.

The artifact Zhang Tianluo used to withstand the phantom thunder attack was a Soul Stabilizing type of Magic Artifact.

It was crafted from the eyes of a crying infant beast, costing her a great price.

After sensing that she had blocked the attack, she felt quite smug.

“Let’s see what you’ve got up your sleeve now!”

Zhang Tianluo squeezed the Finger Jue and immediately activated the attack formation inside her cave dwelling.

In an instant, the entire cave lit up with dense runes. With a flash of light, the originally cave-dwelling transformed into massive ocean, where countless monsters made of sea water rushed towards Xu Mu.

“Hey, isn’t this a little too much? First thing in the morning and you’re already showing your fangs. Do you want to be a widow?”

Xu Mu dodged and avoided, not fighting back against the water monsters created by the formation.

“Dare you talk back! Today, if I don’t kill you, I won’t bear the surname Zhang!”

Remembering how she was mercilessly bullied by him, the Zhang Tianluo hidden in the formation couldn’t help but yell out in anger.

“Marriage is supposed to be a hundred days of grace; you’re going too far.”

“Shut up, Xu! If you fall into my formation today, don’t think of getting out alive.”

“You think this lousy formation of yours can trap me?”

Xu Mu was unimpressed.

“Lousy? Hmph! This Azure Water Sky Net of mine is a tier six formation. It can easily trap a dozen of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators at once! I’ll see how long you can keep up your bluster!”

The reason she was reluctant to move is that this formation was set up in accordance with the island, along with the investment in the cave dwelling. Both had cost her a lot of hard work and she couldn’t bear to abandon them easily.

By the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators need more and more things. A mere storage bag is no longer sufficient to carry everything.

So, whether for personal safety or for future cultivation, building a suitable cave dwelling is essential.

Even the most villainous robbers have their own nests.

With the support of the cave formation, a cultivator’s strength could often be multiplied several or even dozens of times.

After all, as long as you can set up a formation, even a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator can operate a tier twelve formation, albeit less flexibly.

That’s why the major sects are so keen on building Mountain Protection Arrays.

Take the Tongyou Sect of the past for instance, they held off the Tianhe Sect for a year with the help of the Mountain Protection Array.

The most feared thing about these formations is not that they can’t be broken, but falling into them.

If an array can’t be broken, time can be wasted. However, if one falls into it and the opposing party manipulates the power of the array for attack, it can spell absolute doom.

Luckily, Zhang Tianluo’s formation wasn’t that strong.

If it were a tier seven formation, Xu Mu would have no choice but to kneel.

However, the value of a formation is rarer than the same tier defensive magic artifacts. For Zhang Tianluo to possess a small-sized tier six formation is nothing short of a miracle.

A tier seven formation was pure fantasy!

Even Golden Pill sects might not have one.

As for Xu Mu, he already knew all this from the last time he subdued Zhang Tianluo.

Zhang Tianluo still thought she had outsmarted him.

“Enough fooling around. Just listen to me!”

In a flash, Xu Mu transformed into a half-man, half-shark state. In the next instant, endless silver lightning suddenly exploded.

Seeing this scene reminded Zhang Tianluo of the incident in the ancient ruin.

Before she could react, her Soul Suppression Magic Artifact was pierced and she fell into an illusion.

When she woke up, she was in the grasp of Xu Mu.

“Oh, you’re really small!”

“You, damn you!”

Zhang Tianluo was furious, but could not retort because Xu Mu was telling the truth.

“Still not convinced after all this?”

“Not convinced!”

“Then all that’s left to do is..”

Five days later!

“You bastard! You disgusting thing! I’ll kill you! Kill you!”

Xu Mu studied the martial going down in one hand while letting Zhang Tianluo create a ruckus on the other.

Three days ago, he had already undone her restraints.

She just wasn’t willing to come down and insisted on making him admit defeat.

What’s the point in all of this?

“Enough playing, haven’t you? Hurry up and take me to find the Sea Race!”

“No! No! No! You treacherous little man! You wicked man!”

Zhang Tianluo continued to curse and rant, her face full of disgust.

Xu Mu had no choice but to use his trump card. In less than a quarter of an hour, she had fainted more than a dozen times.

“Are you done now?”

“Not yet! You trash! Waste of space!”

II II

Gosh! Your stubbornness is stronger than nine heavenly thunderbolts!

Fortunately, she was only stubborn in words. After Xu Mu had slapped her twice, tears streamed down her face, and in the end, she could only reluctantly get up.
