No hope for eternal life

Chapter 371 Surprises one after another

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng went into the cave himself and waited for the dragon ball to take shape.

Unlike the Fire Bead that takes two months to form, the brewing time of the Earth Dragon Bead is often very short, almost a flash in the pan, so finding the Earth Dragon Bead requires a lot of luck.

After a moment, the Earth Dragon Ball was indeed formed, and Mu Changsheng successfully took the Earth Dragon Ball and put it in his pocket.

One Earth Dragon Pearl was worth one thousand top-grade spirit stones. Mu Changsheng’s goal of two thousand top-grade spirit stones was instantly half solved, and he was in a very good mood.

However, just when Mu Changsheng was about to remove the formation at the entrance of the cave, the formation had already been forcibly broken from the outside.

The formation dissipated, and a figure holding a sword blocked the entrance of the cave, staring at Mu Changsheng with fiery eyes: "Did a dragon ball just appear here?"

"Middle stage of the Spirit Transformation." Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and judged the other party's cultivation level at the first moment.

"Hand over the Earth Dragon Ball, and I may consider sparing your life." The sword-wielding monk said impatiently. He was sure that Mu Changsheng had the Earth Dragon Ball in his hand, otherwise there would be no need to set up a formation to cover up the entrance of the cave.

"I can give you the Earth Dragon Ball, but you must swear a vow to your inner demon that you will not hurt me in the slightest." Mu Changsheng pretended to be weak and said in panic.

"A mere Nascent Soul dares to negotiate with me." The sword-wielding monk grinned and slashed a stream of sword energy directly at Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng used a fifth-grade high-level virtual god talisman, and then pretended to be struggling to block the sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Changsheng activated three fourth-grade top-level God-Slaying Formations in succession, trapping the opponent for a short period of time.

Mu Changsheng took advantage of this gap to escape from the narrow cave, and then used the magic talisman to speed up his escape.

However, Mu Changsheng did not run away at full speed. He deliberately retained a little speed to keep his opponent hanging.

The sword-wielding monk quickly broke through the three God-killing Formations. Seeing that Mu Changsheng had already run far away, he did not have the slightest doubt and quickly chased after him. For him, the temptation of the Earth Dragon Ball was too great, and coupled with Mu Changsheng's acting skills, it was difficult for him to be suspicious.

The two sides chased each other all the way, and Mu Changsheng ran for a full hour before he stopped.

"Where can you run to?" The sword-wielding monk laughed grimly and approached Mu Changsheng step by step. He thought Mu Changsheng could no longer run.

Of course, Mu Changsheng was not unable to run. He had been running for so long just to lure the other party here.

"Snap!" Mu Changsheng snapped his fingers, and a large chain formation appeared instantly, trapping both the enemy and us inside.

Mu Changsheng had failed several times in his attempts to kill the Divine Transformation cultivators before, so he spent several days setting up a chain of God-killing Formations in a remote cave, which was specifically designed to kill the Divine Transformation cultivators.

When Mu Changsheng first saw the sword-wielding monk, he had already been planning how to kill him, so he kept showing weakness in order to lure him to the place where he had set up a chain of god-killing formations in advance.

The sword-wielding monk was trapped in the formation. He did not panic at first, but took out a small axe magic weapon.

Under his urging, the small axe magic weapon instantly expanded countless times and turned into a giant axe that could create space. He chopped down the chain of god-killing formations with one axe.

The giant axe was very powerful, almost comparable to a full-strength attack from a peak Divine Transformation Realm, but it still failed to break through the chain of God-Slaying Formations that Mu Changsheng had spent several days setting up.

"Not good." The sword-wielding monk's face changed drastically. His strongest means failed to break the formation, which made him feel in danger of death.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng saw that the sword-wielding monk failed to break the formation and confirmed that his chain god-killing formation was stable enough. He immediately used the fifth-grade top-level virtual god talisman and began to launch the most violent attack on the opponent.

At the beginning, the sword-wielding monk could still rely on the giant axe to resist Mu Changsheng's attacks, but Mu Changsheng's attacks were endless, and his divine power was quickly consumed. Soon he ran out of strength and couldn't even drive the giant axe.

"People die for money, birds die for food. You deliberately set up a killing trap, isn't it just to gain military merit? I am willing to exchange my life for 700 top-grade spirit stones. Top-grade spirit stones are much more useful than military merit." The sword-wielding monk shouted loudly, wanting to redeem his life with top-grade spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng stopped attacking. What he had planned was precisely the top-grade spirit stone, and the other party's words really touched his heart.

"Do you only have 700 top-grade spirit stones on you?" Mu Changsheng asked with narrowed eyes. His goal was 1,000 top-grade spirit stones.

The sword-wielding monk's face changed. This was exactly what he was most worried about. He quickly said, "In addition to my own 700 top-grade spirit stones, I also have 600 top-grade spirit stones on me. However, those 600 top-grade spirit stones all belong to the court. I am only responsible for keeping them temporarily and I am not allowed to take anything. If you don't believe me, I can swear a great oath to prove it."

"How about this, you and I will each take a step back. I only want one thousand top-grade spirit stones. Even if you lose three hundred top-grade spirit stones, you will not be guilty of a capital crime." Mu Changsheng said lightly. He didn't care whether what the other party said was true or false. He only cared about the one thousand top-grade spirit stones.

The sword-wielding monk gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, compared to the spirit stones, his life was the most important thing: "I promise to give you a thousand top-grade spirit stones, but you need to swear a great oath to the devil in your heart. If you take the top-grade spirit stones, you will let me go."

"You must also swear a great oath in your heart that you will never attack me again." Mu Changsheng also put forward his own request.

Judging from the fighting power that the opponent has just demonstrated, once the opponent escapes, Mu Changsheng will no longer be able to suppress the opponent and will have to be on guard.

In fact, if Mu Changsheng had not been afraid that the other party would become desperate and destroy the top-grade spirit stone before dying, he would not have bothered to say so much to the other party.

"Okay." The sword-wielding monk did not dare to disobey. After all, he was like a fish on the chopping board, and his life was in the hands of Mu Changsheng.

So, after both parties swore a great oath to each other, Mu Changsheng got a thousand top-grade spirit stones as he wished, and withdrew the chain formation as promised.

Upon seeing this, the sword-wielding monk left immediately without looking back. He never wanted to see Mu Changsheng again. He made a vow to himself that he would never attack Mu Changsheng. Even if he met Mu Changsheng on the battlefield in the future, he would have to avoid him.

Mu Changsheng experienced two unexpected surprises in succession. He had completely collected all his top-grade spirit stones, and he didn't even have to go to the Flame Magma Pool. He could completely retire and return to the capital of Beiyuan Kingdom to practice in seclusion.

But Mu Changsheng had promised to help the Seventh Prince Yuanlang fight for the Fire Flame Pearl, so he was now a little conflicted about whether or not to go back to help.

After a moment of hesitation, Mu Changsheng decided not to go and help, because this was an illusion, not reality. If he went back to help, it would only cause trouble. Even if it might offend the Seventh Prince Yuan Lang, he accepted it. Moreover, after he broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Yuan Lang's cultivation would not be enough in front of him.

So, Mu Changsheng immediately turned around and headed towards the exit of the Earth Dragon Cave. He wanted to return to the capital of Beiyuan Kingdom as quickly as possible to practice in seclusion.

Mu Changsheng had just arrived at the exit of the Earth Dragon Cave when he saw a scene that surprised him. Dozens of Jindan monks were fighting outside the cave. The most important thing was that he actually saw two Tribulation Crossing monks fighting in the air.

You must know that the cultivators in the Tribulation Realm are already the ceiling-level combat power in this fantasy world. Now even the cultivators in the Tribulation Realm have personally come down to fight, which shows that the conflict between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty has been escalating.
