I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Reaching Consensus—1

Translator: 549690339

Chen Mobai left Southstream Market and arrived at a barren mountain.

Just as he was about to rest, two streaks of sword light suddenly attacked from behind him, shining brightly and incredibly dazzling.

“Who’s there?”

Chen Mobai was no longer the novice in magic duels he once was. From his sleeve, two Wooden Shield charms flew out, transforming in an instant into two cyan light shields, blocking the path of the sword light.

“Boom!”

To his surprise, the two streaks of sword light directly pierced through the two Wooden Shield charms without any hindrance.

“It’s two masters!”

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mobai’s expression changed, and he dared not to be indifferent any longer.

The Water Elemental Shield moved at his thought, transforming into two whirlpools, appearing in the path of the sword light, enveloping it, and dissipating its sharp and powerful spiritual power.

But at that very moment!

A sword humming sounded.

The sword light split from one into two. As the Water Elemental Shield blocked the two of them, the other two lights took a curved path and struck towards Chen Mobai’s shoulder blades.

[They didn’t aim for my vitals. Do they not want to kill me, or are they hesitant?]

Chen Mobai had this thought flash across his mind at that moment.

While he activated the Wood Armor Talisman and Golden Light Talisman that he held in his hand,

In the other hand, he waved his sleeve, and a blue scarf handkerchief flew out.

With three defenses activated all at once, he finally managed to block the two streaks of sword light that was right before his eyes.

Amid the ‘Bang! Bang!’ sounds,

Chen Mobai involuntarily stepped back twice.

The spiritual power contained in these two streaks of sword light was so powerful that even his three defenses could not completely dissipate it.

Compared to the magic duels during the entry exams at the immortal academy, it was opponents on a whole different level of strength.

Chen Mobai compared it with the most formidable opponents he had ever encountered, Gong Xiangyu, Yan Feng.

He realized that even if those two joined forces against him, they did not pose as big a threat as the sword light just now.

It’s not that the sword lights were more potent than the Sea Sword Qi cast by the Heaven Heart Sword Talisman, but rather that the individuals who attacked him far surpassed the students of the immortal academy in terms of battle experience, judgement, timing, and control over their swordsmanship.

Chen Mobai felt at ease and confident when dealing with foes from the academy, but when faced with these two streams of sword light, he had to put in an extra effort to block them.

“Who dares to attack a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect like me!’

Chen Mobai estimated that if the opponents were hesitant about him, it could only be because of the identity he had just acquired.

“Humph, nobody knows if we kill you in this desolate wilderness.”

Two skinny loose cultivators appeared in Chen Mobai’s line of sight, one tall and one short, wearing straw hats and having their faces wrapped in black cloth, showing only a pair of eyes. They held two longswords in their hands.

“Fortunately, they’re both paupers.”

On seeing that they were not manipulating flying swords but holding longswords in their hands, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were flying swords against him, neither his Defensive Talisman nor his magical artifact would be able to resist them for long.

“Respected seniors, I’m just a mere loose cultivator as well, carrying only twenty spirit stones on me. If you need some wealth to ensure safe passage, please take them and spare my life.”

Even without flying swords, judging by the proficiency shown by those two streaks of sword light just now, it can be concluded that these loose cultivators, who had to remain undercover, were at least cultivators in the late stage of qi cultivation.

Moreover, they were noted among cultivators for their potent combat strength

– they were sword cultivators.

Chen Mobai felt that he was not their match, so he first thought of reaching consensus with them through dialogue.

He untied a cloth bag tied around his waist, opened it, and directly tossed it in front of the two men on the grassland.

With a “Ting, ting, dong” sound, chunks of spirit stones rolled out from the open bag, where the twinkling spiritual light instantly attracted the two cultivators’ attention.

However, they quickly regained their senses, raised their swords, and aimed at

Chen Mobai’s right hand.

-Respected seniors, what do you mean by this? Do you want one of my hands?” Chen Mobai could not accept that. If this were the case, he would have to fight for his life.

“No, we want the Casting Sword Ring you’re wearing!

The taller cultivator, referring to the brass ring worn by Chen Mobai, opened his mouth.

“Casting Sword Ring?”

Chen Mobai lifted his hand, looked at the brass ring he wore on his finger, and realized that the magical artifact was indeed named in this way.

Is it a famous magical artifact?

“Respected seniors, I can give it to you, but please also give me an assurance that after you take it, you must not harm me in any way.”

Although, Chen Mobai didn’t want to part with the brass ring he had only used once, but compared with his safety, this item could be given up.

“Okay, we can agree to your condition, but you must also agree to one of our conditions.”

“Please proceed.”

“We will take our Casting Sword Ring and leave, and you should not look into the origins of us two because of this incident. Even if you learn about them, the three of us cannot harm each other.”

This was something the two brothers had discussed in advance.

The best way would be to loot by killing.

However, both brothers had ambitions. With the Casting Sword Ring, they had a good chance of joining the Golden Cliff.

Golden Cliff had a Sword Tomb Questioning Heart stage; if one had done harm to Golden Cliff in their heart, they would be unable to pass the stage.

Since Golden Cliff and the Divine Wood Sect had a well-known relationship throughout the Eastern Wilderness, if they directly murdered and robbed, they would be the ones at fault; if their actions were exposed, Golden Cliff would undoubtedly execute them for the sake of its reputation. Hence, they didn’t want to kill the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.

Nor did they want to kill Chen Mobai, the genius talent who had remarkable spiritual roots and was likely to succeed in the future.

However, if they didn’t kill Chen Mobai, this genius would possibly retaliate against them when he reached a high cultivation level in the future.

Therefore, they also wanted Chen Mobai to make a promise.

“Okay, let’s all make a solemn oath.”

While Chen Mobai was unaware of the twist and turns in the two brothers’ minds, he did grasp the idea that they didn’t want to kill a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.

While marveling at how useful the cover of a major sect of the Eastern Wilderness was, he also took off the brass ring he was wearing.

As the three of them looked at each other and were about to swear an oath with their hands raised,

A faint sound of thunder suddenly echoed.

“Good heavens, there’s an accomplice after all. Indeed, the people here are all crafty villains!”

Chen Mobai thought that the two cultivators deliberately deceived him, waiting for him to take off the ring before attacking.

However, he immediately saw that the lightning flashing from the distance indiscriminately fell on all three of them.

Uh!?

At the moment of his surprise, the brothers’ expression changed as well. They thought Chen Mobai had known about the situation and had called for reinforcements.

They combined their two swords, the sword qi circulating, vanquishing all the blue lightning at the roadside and prompting charred marks on the grassland. “In my thirty years in the Eastern Wilderness, I’ve never come across people like you.”

He Qun walked over with his two sworn brothers – they looked disturbed, obviously startled by the scene where Chen Mobai negotiated with the two men just now..
