Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1092 564: Thief Cultivation Ancestor_2
Previously on Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'...
But how should she rescue herself?
Should she kneel on the ground and kowtow?
Given the current situation, even if she kowtowed until her head bled, Hua Manchun would never forgive her.
Directly escape?
She wasn't very fast, and she was carrying Hua Manchun's technique on her. Moreover, she didn't want to leave He Jiaqing behind here.
She really didn't want to leave He Jiaqing, even though she could barely protect herself. After all, He Jiaqing got into trouble with Hua Manchun to save her, and she hadn't forgotten that friendship.
Hua Manchun crossed his arms, twisted his waist, with Tao'er lightly swaying below, and started to dance.
She was a Dance Cultivator; Hua Manchun knew her Taoist Sect and understood her strength as well.
Among the New Land deities, Chu Yaoxian had a great reputation and indeed significant skills.
But the three Proper Land deities before her, she couldn't stop even one, let alone fight three at once.
Jiao Xiu Sun Peiying, an old woman, glanced at Chu Yaoxian: "This woman twists so sassily, I can't stand such sassy hooves, later I'll glue up her hooves and stop her from spreading her scent."
"I think you're just old and useless, jealous of others," Nianxiu Ren Antian laughed, "Look how well she's dancing, I love watching this!"
Chu Yaoxian changed her dance steps, suddenly arriving in front of Ren Antian.
Ren Antian was a Mental Cultivator; among the three, his close combat ability was the weakest. Chu Yaoxian seized this point, wanting to confront him first.
But just as she was about to act, her dance steps suddenly stumbled, almost causing her to fall. When she got up, Ren Antian was already standing far away.
"Miss, have you taken a liking to an old man like me?" Ren Antian stroked his beard, "We haven't even negotiated a price, and you're coming onto me?"
Above the Clouds Dance Cultivator's steps shouldn't falter.
Because she was caught in Ren Antian's technique, a torrent of chaotic thoughts swirled in her mind, causing her basic dance steps to go awry.
Hua Manchun didn't want to waste more time; he added some more fire to He Jiaqing. After burning He Jiaqing completely, he'd take Hua Manchun back to the manor for a good clean-up.
The blazing flames rose, and He Jiaqing cooperated very well, instantly turning into flying ash and disappearing.
Did he burn up so quickly?
Hua Manchun stared at the remains carefully, not seeing bones or organs, just the flying ash continuously fluttering upwards.
Joyful Fire Burning Body burns from inside out, and the ideal effect is indeed to burn the body clean of bones and organs.
But He Jiaqing was an Above the Clouds cultivator; could he really burn so cleanly? Besides, the amount of ash seemed too little.
Nianxiu Ren Antian, most familiar with thief cultivation, hurriedly reminded: "This seems to be golden cicada shedding its skin."
Sun Peiying and Hua Manchun immediately tightened their guard, still having not found He Jiaqing's location.
Ren Antian was very calm, he sensed He Jiaqing's thoughts: "Not far, the person is nearby, he's going to..."
Just as Ren Antian was about to judge He Jiaqing's thoughts, Chu Yaoxian's skirt swept past Ren Antian, his thinking slowed down instantly.
In his mind, there was a soothing yet short melody repeating endlessly, each repetition causing his thoughts to stagnate, forgetting what he was doing, even forgetting the purpose of this trip.
Dance Cultivation Technique, slow song and dance.
The core technique was about soothing and slowing down, making not only the enemy's movements slow but also their thoughts slow, a remarkable feat that allowed Dance Cultivators to clash head-on with many Taoist sects.
Nianxiu was never good at close combat, and once slowed down, he could die at any moment by Chu Yaoxian's hands. Hua Manchun was just about to offer support when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and quickly dodged.
Despite his quick dodge, a half-foot-long cut was opened on his back.
He Jiaqing was still nearby, his form yet to manifest, and he had launched a sneak attack on Hua Manchun.
Hua Manchun activated his technique, Scented Sweat Light Shirt, within a five-meter radius.
The technique's mechanism was simple, to excite opponents into sweating, thereby finding their position by the scent of sweat.
But He Jiaqing wasn't fooled; Hua Manchun's technique was deployed within five meters, and He Jiaqing just stayed further away.
Hua Manchun expanded the scope of his technique to ten meters, and He Jiaqing immediately moved even further.
Scented Sweat Light Shirt could be released over a larger area, but it consumed too much for Hua Manchun. As soon as he retracted the technique, He Jiaqing closed in again for another sneak attack.
This time there was a slight commotion, and Jiao Xiu Sun Peiying spotted some signs with her magical treasure.
A blob of paste was thrown over, He Jiaqing almost got stuck. Sun Peiying consecutively threw several blobs of paste, forming a formation around her, allowing her to have means to subdue He Jiaqing whenever he got close.
Glue Cultivation was a nemesis for close combat; He Jiaqing had no way against Sun Peiying.
And experienced Sun Peiying instructed Hua Manchun: "Ignore Ren Antian, that old thing has his ways to handle that sassy hooves; once I capture He Jiaqing, we'll kill him immediately, to prevent lingering troubles."
Sun Peiying's strategy was very clear; under the effect of Nianxiu technique, Chu Yaoxian's dance steps were all mistakes, making it difficult to pose a threat to Ren Antian.
He Jiaqing, forced by Sun Peiying, had a decreasing range of activity and seemed about to be caught by Hua Manchun's technique.
And every sneak attack by He Jiaqing might be interfered with by Nianxiu Ren Antian; Ren Antian and Sun Peiying's Taoist sect and combat techniques complemented each other, making it hard for He Jiaqing to find an opportunity to counterattack.
With the situation extremely unfavorable, He Jiaqing suddenly felt a wave of panic.
