Nine Lives: Unbeatable Dragon Blood

Chapter 36 Sudden Attack

This unnamed reef island was located fifteen miles south of Huangli Island. Three days later, three fleet lights from the west flew there and landed on the reef. They were two women and one man, wearing the uniforms of disciples of the True Spirit Sect.

To Lu Ping's surprise, he knew the three people. The woman in red was Hu Lili who traded a large number of highest-grade Blood Magic Figures with Lu Ping after the trade fair. The woman in green was an outer disciple who traded her bronze mirror with Lu Ping in the market of their academy. At that time, she was still a third-level disciple of the True Spirit Sect. The man with the lowest cultivation and a simple and honest appearance was the man who exchanged dark iron for Lu Ping's wolf's fangs mace at the trade fair.

The three people actually got together. Lu Ping, who had been lying in ambush here for nearly two days with Invisibility Magic Figures and Spirit-Sealing Magic Figures, was a little surprised.

The woman in green looked around and said to the woman in red, "Lili, the abode is around, right? We have been searching it in this sea for two months."

Hearing this, Hu Lili smiled and said, "Yes. Back then, I spent several months looking up a lot of jade slips before I was sure it was in this sea area."

The simple and honest man behind them said, "Ha-ha, it would be great if it was really the abode of cultivator Sheng Tao. He was a famous alchemist among the individual cultivators in the northern sea more than a hundred years ago, and it would be better if there were blood dissolving elixirs in his abode."

Hu Lili rolled her eyes at him and said, "Niu Dazhuang, stop daydreaming. After more than a hundred years, who knows what's left in it. Maybe many people have been there."

Niu Dazhuang laughed embarrassedly and stopped talking. The woman in green said, "Dazhuang, there may be a magic circle in front of the abode. Later, we might need you to use your magic weapon to shatter it."

Niu Dazhuang patted his chest heavily and said, "No problem. You have seen my magic weapon. Although it is low-grade, its attack power is definitely not weaker than that of middle-grade magic weapons. I bought it with a piece of dark iron."

Hearing Niu Dazhuang mention what happened at the trade fair, Hu Lili said, "Speaking of Lu Ping, I also traded dozens of highest-grade Magic Figures with him after the trade fair for this adventure. He is good at making Magic Figures and an expert among the third-level disciples. It would be good to invite him to join us if we know his origin."

When Hu Lili said this, she suddenly thought of something and said to the woman in green, "Zheng Jie, you also had a deal with him, didn't you?"

Zheng Jie, the woman in green, curled her lips and said, "That guy is a miser. The magic weapon he got from me was totally a bargain for him."

Hu Lili walked while looking at the surrounding terrain. Hearing what Zheng Jie said, she smiled and didn't speak. Suddenly, she stopped and took out an old map from her storage bag to compare it with the surrounding environment.

"Here it is. The riprap in the east is actually an illusion of a magic circle. Cultivator Sheng Tao's abode is behind the magic circle." Hu Lili said with certainty, "Dazhuang, you go up there and hammer that reef with your magic weapon."

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang said, "OK!" After spitting in his palms and rubbing his hands, he took out his wolf's fangs mace from his storage bag, waved it, shouted loudly, and hit the reef with it.

To their surprise, the reef was shattered quietly. The whole riprap suddenly shook and then quieted down. After a while, the reef shattered by Niu Dazhuang flickered and returned to normal.

"It's really a riprap magic circle. The magic circle is intact, which means no one has been in there. Listen to my instructions later, and let's shatter the magic circle," Hu Lili knew magic circles quite well.

Zheng Jie and Niu Dazhuang were very excited when they heard that the abode was intact.

Hu Lili carefully observed the riprap in front of her. Suddenly, a happy look appeared on her face. She raised her hands and threw eight highest-grade Blood Magic Figures at eight rocks of different sizes. After a few "rumbling" noises, the eight rocks were blown to pieces, and the riprap shook for a while. Hu Lili carefully observed them and found another four rocks that did not shake, so she raised her hands and threw out four more Magic Figures, and then the riprap no longer shook.

Hu Lili let out a long breath and said, "The magic circle has been broken. Magic circles that no one maintained indeed hardly change. After a hundred years, it has lost most of its power. The magic circle has been temporarily controlled by me. We just need to smash the remaining stones."

Niu Dazhuang and Zheng Jie cheered. They threw their magic weapons at the riprap with Hu Lili.

It took them two hours to sweep away all the riprap. At this time, an abode appeared in front of them. They were excited and walked to its entrance.

At this time, they were alarmed by a sudden attack. Silver needles magic weapon stabbed at Hu Lili's back silently. When Hu Lili noticed it, she only had time to throw out two Blood Magic Figures to block it, but needle-shaped magic weapons restrained the protection of magic methods.

Hu Lili tried her best to dodge, but her shoulder was still stabbed by the silver needle. With a strong twinge, a stream of blood gushed out of her wound, and her shoulder had been pierced through by the silver needle.

Zheng Jie and Niu Dazhuang were shocked and angry. They quickly activated their magic weapons and protected Hu Lili between them. Zheng Jie shouted in a stern voice, "Who is there? Come out!"

After a burst of proud laughter, five cultivators wearing the uniforms of the Xuan Spirit Sect appeared with a wave of magic power fluctuation at the place thirty meters behind Zheng Jie. Obviously, they also used magic methods to make themselves invisible. But the magic power fluctuation told Lu Ping that what they used was by no means something like Invisibility Skill or Invisibility Magic Figure. It should be a magic weapon specially used for making people invisible.

When the three people saw that they were disciples of the Xuan Spirit Sect, their expressions changed. At this time, they already had no time to ask them how they found them.

The five people of the Xuan Spirit Sect obviously didn't want to give them a chance to ask questions. Five magic weapons rushed to the three people from five different directions. Hu Lili simply dealt with her injury and managed to control a low-grade flying sword to resist the attack of the five people with the other two people.

Whether in terms of cultivation or number of people, the three people of the True Spirit Sect were at a disadvantage, not to mention that Hu Lili was seriously injured.

Lu Ping looked at the situation in front of him and was considering whether to help them out secretly. After all, they were all the disciples of the True Spirit Sect and knew each other.

"Well, it would be great if they could seriously injure two or three people of the five people of the Xuan Spirit Sect. Then the both sides would suffer great losses, and I could be the final beneficiary."

When Lu Ping was looking for the opportunity to make a secret move, there were new changes on the site.

The three people of the True Spirit Sect knew that they were in great danger, and they went all out to fight with the people of the Xuan Spirit Sect. Niu Dazhuang, who was already injured, punched Junior Zhou out, who had the lowest cultivation, and made him vomit blood.

Hu Lili was quick in mind. When the others of the Xuan Spirit Sect were a little flustered because of Junior Zhou's injury, she raised her hand and threw three Magic Figures at Junior Yin who was short. Junior Yin was distracted because of Junior Zhou's injury. At this time, he saw the three Magic Figures that had turned into three fireballs flying towards him and became more flustered when he judged that they were highest-grade Blood Magic Figures.

Junior Yin, who managed to block the three fireballs with his magic weapon, saw a flying sword coming to him before he could get his breath back. Then one of his arms left his body.

At this time, Zheng Jie was in charge of defense. She had been continuously attacked by the magic weapons of the three people of the Xuan Spirit Sect. There were already trickles of blood at the corners of her mouth, but she tried her best to hold on.

The people of the Xuan Spirit Sect saw the two of them were seriously injured even though they were at full advantage. They became angry instantly, so they gave up their cat-and-mouse plan and launched their attacks wildly. The three people of the True Spirit Sect tried their best to resist, but they were still all seriously injured. They were already in imminent danger!

When Lu Ping was about to help them, a terrifying "hiss" sound came from the sea. On the sea not far away, a large sea snake that was more than thirty meters long and as thick as a bucket slowly rose.
