Three drops of essence blood was already the limit for a peak Fifth Layer Heavenly Layer Realm cultivator.
If he didn't want to live, he would be crippled after spitting out the fourth drop.
However, Zhao Qi had already gone mad. He was going to die either way!
I'm going to die and fight to live!
At this moment, there wasn't a single bit of flesh left on his body. All that was left was skin wrapped around bones.
He looked like a skeleton, but it was green on the outside.
He kept chanting incantations as hope burned in his crazed eyes.
When the third drop of essence blood was unable to shake Zhang Xing's giant hand, the hope in Zhao Qi's eyes dimmed.
He knew that the difference in cultivation between them was too great. Even if he used up the fourth drop of essence blood, it wouldn't be of any use.
However, he couldn't stop now. Even if he stopped, the end result would be the same. Rather than being killed by Zhang Xing, he would rather die a glorious death.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and was about to hit his forehead.
However, just as his hand was about to touch his forehead, he suddenly found that his body was bound by an invisible force. His hand was only half an inch away from ending his life, but he couldn't move at all.
"Sect Master Zhao, I still have something to ask you. Don't be so busy!"
Zhang Xing stretched out two fingers and hooked them. Zhao Qi's body seemed to be tied by a rope as he floated in front of Zhang Xing.
"Zhang Xing, I won't say anything. Don't think you can humiliate me!"
Zhao Qi's jaw cracked as he spoke. His voice had already changed. It was like the voice of a skeleton that could speak.
"Don't worry, I won't humiliate you. I just want to ask you a small question. Eat a pill and rest first. You're so tired that you don't even look human anymore. Why bother?"
Zhang Xing casually flicked a Life Continuing Pill and ignored Zhao Qi. He turned his head and continued to destroy the seal formation chains.
Without Zhao Qi's interference, it was much easier to break the chains.
After seven breaths, the remaining chains were all broken. Chang Li was finally free!
He turned his rat eyes and looked at the Octagon Seal with disgust. He then looked at the smiling Zhang Xing, but his face did not have the grateful expression from before.
His soul had also shrunk to the size of a palm, making him look like a rat.
"Brat, this ancestor doesn't want to stay in that broken seal. Do you have a better divine artifact for me to cultivate?"
Cang Li floated in the air with two short claws on his back. He puffed out his chest and said with a cold expression.
Damn!
You're putting on airs the moment you come out! Do you think you're still an exotic beast from ancient times?!
Zhang Xing wasn't angry. Instead, he felt surprised and amused.
It was said that rats were cunning by nature and full of evil tricks, but from the looks of it, this rodent exotic beast wasn't that smart.
"Well, Forefather Cang Li, I just saved you. You should at least show some gratitude!"
Zhang Xing's expression turned serious as he pretended to be very serious.
"Express my gratitude?
Express what? "Forefather Cang Li looked at Zhang Xing with disdain. He then stretched out a small claw and pointed at Zhang Xing.
"This ancestor didn't find a place to stay, so I had to stay in that broken seal. Otherwise, this ancestor would have left long ago. Why would I need you to help me?
It's your honor that this ancestor asked you to help me. I saw that you, a junior, still have some sense of justice, so I purposely went easy on you and let you win this battle. You should thank me.
Although I don't care about this broken seal, it's still a divine seal to you. Can't you see that I'm giving it to you?
Young man, don't be so greedy. Although this ancestor has countless treasures, it's not something that I can give away casually!
Open your storage bag and let this ancestor see what kind of divine artifact you have that is suitable for me to cultivate … "
Zhang Xing was dumbfounded as he looked at the arrogant Chang Li, whose saliva was flying everywhere as it gestured with its tiny claws.
What the hell!
I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you!
You don't know, oh no, it's fine if you don't want to thank me, but you actually want to take my storage bag? A leopard can't change its spots!
"Hey!
Kid, pay attention when this ancestor is talking to you, okay? "
Seeing that Zhang Xing was spacing out, Chang Li was a little unhappy. He raised his voice and reprimanded him.
"Forefather Cang Li, I'm listening seriously. I'm not spacing out. I'll find you a divine artifact that is suitable for you to cultivate."
Zhang Xing's mind spun, and he pretended to take out a storage bag and searched it.
"Let this ancestor see what kind of divine artifact you can find with your eyesight!"
Chang Li said as he went forward to snatch the storage bag.
Zhang Xing really had to hand it to this Chang Li. He actually wanted to snatch it directly!
However, he flipped his hand and a golden halberd appeared in his palm.
"Forefather Cang Li, do you think this will work?"
Thump!
Looking at the Heaven Piercing Halberd, Chang Li's little paws suddenly froze in the air. His eyes emitted an incomparably greedy light as he stared straight at the halberd. Even his breathing became rapid.
After three breaths, Chang Li's little paws flashed and he snatched the halberd.
"Suitable, suitable, this divine artifact suits me!"
With Chang Li's eyesight, he could naturally see that the halberd was extraordinary.
He grabbed the halberd and sniffed it with his nose. His posture was just like a mouse.
However, just as Chang Li was getting excited, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Zhang Xing suspiciously.
"Kid, where did you get this halberd?"
Zhang Xing's heart skipped a beat, but he did not show it.
It seemed that this cunning Chang Li would not be so easily fooled. He did not get carried away by the halberd. Instead, he immediately revealed his true nature and began to test Zhang Xing's honesty.
"It was in a place called the Black Tortoise Continent. This halberd was once the treasure of a sect, but I snatched it."
Zhang Xing knew that when designing such a cunning old guy, he had to mix truth with falsehood. He could not tell a story out of thin air.
Looking at Zhang Xing's subtle facial expressions and heartbeat, Chang Li nodded.
"Kid, where is the artifact spirit inside?"
"Artifact spirit?
I didn't find it. "Zhang Xing frowned and said as if it was the truth.
"How could you not find it?"
Chang Li stared at Zhang Xing.
"I was only in the Saint Realm at that time, and I got this divine artifact in a daze. It was not easy to use."
Zhang Xing did not act pretentious and just said lightly.
Before Chang Li could speak, Zhang Xing said again, "Forefather Chang Li, if you don't like it, I'll give you another one."
After saying that, Zhang Xing pretended to pull out a scroll painting filled with an ancient aura from his storage pouch.
Chang Li shook his beard a few times and glanced at the scroll. He did not seem satisfied.
Then, Zhang Xing took out a few decent divine artifacts and showed them to Chang Li.
Chang Li pretended not to care and threw the halberd to Zhang Xing. He took the other divine artifacts and looked at them.
At the same time, the moment Zhang Xing caught the halberd, Chang Li's soul stared at Zhang Xing without blinking.
However, Zhang Xing did not show any abnormal behavior and threw the halberd into the storage bag.
