Chapter 742: Chapter 257: Shackles
...
Tu Yuan’s face was filled with a look of dread.
This guy is truly a monster, actually able to forcefully shake him out of his Earth Escape state with pure power.
Like Liao Xingfan and Yuan Qiu, to catch him, they need to prepare various targeted Magical Artifacts, prohibitions, array flags, etc., in advance.
Even so, they might not necessarily catch him.
Just like now, those three had been lured away by him using special methods to other places long ago.
Yet the person before him directly used astonishing techniques and unparalleled force to shake him out of his Earth Escape state.
This is not something that can be done with just strong power alone.
One needs to locate his position, precisely track his movements, and then skillfully use power techniques to shake him out.
"Uh...cough cough..."
"Gent...gentle!"
Tu Yuan’s eyes suddenly widened, struggling to say.
The hand that was hovering about a centimeter from his face suddenly grabbed for his neck, pinching it fiercely like an iron clamp.
Lin Zheyu ignored Tu Yuan’s pleas, increasing the strength in his hand a bit, preventing Tu Yuan from making any further sounds.
Lin Zheyu is no saint; anyone daring to lay hands on him must pay a sufficient price.
Moreover.
Lin Zheyu was very interested in the Magical Artifacts on Tu Yuan.
Like the bone Magical Artifact and the skull Tu Yuan used earlier.
These two Magical Artifacts were different from the ordinary ones he obtained before. If put up for sale, they would certainly fetch a handsome price.
"Miss Ji, are you here to plead for him?"
Lin Zheyu, holding Tu Yuan, looked blandly at Ji Zitong.
He had no particular friendship with Ji Zitong, and her face was of no use to him.
"Mr. Xiao, I implore you to spare his life."
"This person is a friend of my cousin Ji Ziyang, may I ask what it would take for you to spare him?" Ji Zitong asked.
"Ji Ziyang?"
"Don’t know him."
Lin Zheyu slightly shook his head, "I wonder what price Miss Ji is willing to pay."
Without waiting for Ji Zitong to answer, Lin Zheyu suddenly furrowed his brow.
True Essence energy instantly surged from his arms, flowing into Tu Yuan’s body, dispersing the Spiritual Power he was about to condense.
Immediately afterwards, his expression cooled down, and he forcefully smashed Tu Yuan onto the ground.
Boom!
A terrifying vibration came, as Lin Zheyu slammed Tu Yuan onto the ground. For a moment, Tu Yuan’s cunning eyes were in a daze.
The Divine Sense and Spiritual Power he had just managed to condense were scattered in a daze by this sudden blow.
"Any more tricks, and you die."
Lin Zheyu said coldly.
He picked Tu Yuan up again by the neck, groping over his body for a moment, discovering six ten-cubic storage bags.
And a high-quality hundred-cubic storage bag.
Seeing the hundred-cubic storage bag in his hand, Lin Zheyu was somewhat surprised.
Such a large-capacity storage bag, just relying on prohibitions is useless, special Exotic Beast materials are required.
This type of Exotic Beast material naturally has spatial talent abilities.
Only by using this special Exotic Beast material, or Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, can a large-capacity storage bag over a hundred cubic meters be made.
"For...for..."
Seeing the storage bags with precious items being taken from him, Tu Yuan’s face turned incredibly unsightly, and he struggled to speak.
Lin Zheyu shot him a cold glance, radiating a dangerous aura.
The strong killing intent stopped Tu Yuan from saying anything further.
Surviving is what matters most.
If you lose your life, then nothing matters.
Lei Yunshu, Lei Yunhan, and Lei Yunzhi, having seen Lin Zheyu’s domineering and fierce side, felt a strange tinge in their eyes.
Lei Yunshu blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Mr. Xiao, are you on the Immortal Martial path?"
"If Mr. Xiao spares Tu Yuan, I can give you three Lesser Profound Elixirs and one Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir," Ji Zitong said confidently.
As her words fell, the surrounding cultivators cast curious and astonished glances.
It was unclear whether they were surprised that Lin Zheyu was following the Immortal Martial path, or surprised that Ji Zitong was willing to exchange three Lesser Profound Elixirs and a Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir for Tu Yuan’s life.
At this moment, Liao Xingfan, Yuan Qiu, and Lei He also returned.
Their expressions were very gloomy; the three seasoned Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators joined forces and gave it their all, yet couldn’t catch Tu Yuan, making them lose face.
In this era where advancing to Golden Core requires qualifications, Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators are considered the mainstream strong.
"Hmph!"
Yuan Qiu snorted coldly, without rashly taking action.
The face of the Ji Family’s Ji Zitong is something they still respect, especially since Tu Yuan has brought up Ji Ziyang.
"This Earth Demon Rat actually hitched a ride with Ji Ziyang!"
Lei He frowned tightly.
He didn’t doubt Tu Yuan’s truthfulness; Ji Zitong’s attitude clearly showed their relationship wasn’t fake.
Otherwise, Ji Zitong wouldn’t pay such a large price to save Tu Yuan’s life.
The Lesser Profound Elixir and Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir even made him a bit tempted.
"Shall we strike?"
Liao Xingfan asked with a frown.
"Wait for an opportunity."
"Tu Yuan has a relationship with Ji Ziyang, but that person doesn’t have a relationship with him."
"Now the storage bag is with that person, we can seize the opportunity to snatch it from him," Yuan Qiu said coldly.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as he stared at Lin Zheyu, seemingly trying to gauge Lin Zheyu’s strength.
From the brief skirmish between Lin Zheyu and Tu Yuan just now, it was evident how strong he was.
