Chapter 197 Impermanence of Snow

Gui Gu Chang Yang left not long ago.

A brown flying feather appeared out of thin air behind the boulder opposite the forest. The flying feather dispersed, and two figures appeared inside. Chen Ping and Xiao Quan went and returned.

"Boss, Gui Gu Chang Yang and the two people in the woods have left. These three people don't have the Nine Nether Crystal in their hands, and the three rabbits just ran away in vain. Our first attempt to wait for the rabbits by the tree stump was a failure." Looking at the empty opposite side, Xiao Quan stretched out three fingers, calculating and saying.

"What do you know? The three of them are clearly waiting for the rabbits here. There are only two of us, one less than them. So, the two of us have become rabbits in their eyes. Remember, the side with fewer people is always the rabbit. Only when we have more people can we fight quickly and wait for the rabbits by the tree stump." Chen Ping replied proudly.

"Boss, I understand."

Xiao Quan stretched out three fingers on one hand and two fingers on the other hand, comparing them back and forth and nodding.

"This is the only way to return to the exit of the Evil Ghost Road. We will wait here. Calculating the time, the four friends of the Shangguan family and the Dongfang family should be here. When the six of us gather together, the others who pass by here are our rabbits. We will snatch away the Nine Nether Crystals they have worked hard to get."

Speaking of this, Chen Ping laughed proudly.

"Boss, you are wise."

......

In the sky of the Evil Ghost Road, the black sun hangs high.

Four long shadows are reflected on an empty slope. The four shadows gradually approached the top of the slope like snakes, and four men appeared.

A white-faced scholar holding a folding fan, a young man with a sharp mouth and rat eyes, a drunkard with a red nose and a face full of alcohol, and the last one has a black mole as big as a copper coin on his left cheek, and a strand of black hair on the black mole is very eye-catching.

These are the friends mentioned by Chen Ping, the four people who agreed with Chen Ping and the others to wait together.

They are not disciples of the three major families. In order to compete with the disciples of the three major families with strong personal combat power, these six people formed an alliance and prepared to rob the returning disciples near the exit.

"Calculating the time, it is almost time to go back and implement our plan of waiting for the rabbit. I bet that Chen Ping and his silly brother should have returned long ago. The bet is 300 high-grade spirit stones. Who of you three is willing to bet?" said the white-faced scholar holding a blue folding fan.

"Shangguan Feiyun, Chen Ping always talks about quick victory and quick decision. He likes to do everything in advance. This bet is unfair." Dongfang Ke, who has a black mole on his face, replied.

"Yes, yes, it's unfair. Besides, gambling is really boring. It's better to drink." Dongfang Zhi, who has a red nose, said, picked up a wine gourd on his waist, raised his head and drank three big mouthfuls.

Then he smacked his lips, showing a satisfied expression on his face.

Shangguan Liang, who has a sharp mouth, kept silent, fiddling with a furry, black-skinned and yellow-striped wolf spider in his palm.

"Dongfang Ke, let's change the bet. Let's bet on whether the next person we meet is a man or a woman?" Shangguan Feiyun continued.

"Of course it's a woman. Fortune tellers say that I, Dongfang Ke, am born with good luck in love." As he said that, he stroked the tuft of long hair on the black mole on his cheek with his right hand, and his small eyes flashed with excitement.

"Okay, the bet is still 300 spirit stones."

"I follow."

"I really don't understand. Several elders of the family insisted that we participate in this evil ghost trial. What's the good of joining the evil ghost hall? Every day, I see those arrogant people from the three major families who only know how to practice martial arts all day long. It's boring to think about it." Shangguan Feiyun continued.

"We can't let the three major families dominate the evil ghost hall like before, otherwise their power in the Heavenly Ghost Sect will grow, and we, ordinary children of the aristocratic families, will not be as glorious as we are now." Dongfang Ke replied.

"So, our main task this time is not the Nine Nether Crystal, but to knock out the disciples of the three major families who are alone when we see them." Dongfang Zhi with a red nose said.

"Our plan of waiting for the rabbit to come is exciting just to think about it. We can finally use our numbers to bully the disciples of the three major families."

"Shh, keep your voice down, my little fur ball told me that someone is coming down the hill." Shangguan Liang, who had been silent before, suddenly said.

The black wolf spider in his palm kept beating his palm rhythmically with its eight long legs, as if conveying some information.

Shangguan Feiyun heard this, raised his wrist, and threw a white talisman in front of several people.

There was a slight "puff" sound, and a large piece of white fog emerged from the talisman, instantly wrapping the figures of several people in it.

Sure enough, not long after, a noise came from the hillside.

A black-haired wild boar as big as a cow ran towards this hillside, with its fangs exposed, panting in its big nostrils, and making a rapid "rolling" sound from its long mouth. It ran with four hooves, and rolled up the yellow earth behind it.

I saw a water blue figure chasing after the black wild boar. I don't know what kind of body movement this person uses, but he is so fast and erratic that it's hard to see his face for a while. I can vaguely see a water blue dress that looks like rippling water waves, which is very beautiful. It should be a female cultivator.

The two of them, one running and the other chasing, went uphill in a blink of an eye.

The blue-clothed female cultivator raised her hand, and a sword energy was like a rainbow.

Blood splattered, and the running wild boar was split in half from the middle of its body, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Then, a blazing black flame ignited on the wild boar's body after it fell to the ground. When the flames dissipated, a walnut-sized four-cornered black demon crystal was left on the ground.

The blue-shirted woman came closer, holding a long sword.

Her skin was as white as snow, her hair was as long as a waterfall, and her figure was graceful. Her watery eyes revealed a hint of coldness that made people dare not play with her. She looked only about twenty years old.

She glanced at the black demon crystal on the ground and said to herself with some disappointment: "This is already the sixth ghost beast. It seems that it is difficult to find the Nine Ghost Crystal on ordinary ghost beasts."

Hidden in the mist on the hillside.

"She is a disciple of the three major families. The sword that killed the pig-shaped ghost beast just now was quite powerful." Dongfang Zhi, who had a red nose, said, and took a big sip of wine from the wine gourd.

"It's a woman, and my peach blossom luck has come. Shangguan Feiyun, give me three hundred spirit stones, you lose. What a tender beauty, why don't we quickly capture her and search her up and down carefully." The long hair on the black mole on Dongfang Ke's face trembled slightly, and he said excitedly.

"Three hundred spirit stones for you. I, Shangguan Feiyun, have always been willing to accept defeat." As he said that, he took out a bag of three hundred spirit stones and stuffed it into Dongfang Ke's pocket.

Dongfang Ke took the bag of spirit stones and put it in his arms. He didn't even look at Shangguan Feiyun. His eyes were fixed on the blue-clothed woman in the distance, as if the blue-clothed woman lived in his eyes.

"I know this woman. She is Wuchang Hongxue from the Wuchang family. She is not someone to be trifled with." Shangguan Liang, who was fiddling with the wolf spider, reminded.

"What are you afraid of? She is a True Dan realm cultivator. Can't the four of us True Dan realm cultivators beat her?" Shangguan Feiyun said.

......

Wuchang Hongxue just turned around and was about to leave.

"Beauty, please stay." Dongfang Ke jumped out first.

The other three also stood up and surrounded Wuchang Hongxue in an instant.

Seeing the posture of the four people, Wuchang Hongxue already knew the situation in his heart.

"What, you four want to rob the Nine Nether Crystal?"

"Hand over the Nine Nether Crystal obediently." Shangguan Feiyun said sternly, with a cold light in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't have the Nine Nether Crystal, and I won't give it to you even if I do." Wuchang Hongxue said coldly.

"Whether you have the Nine Nether Crystal or not, we will bully you." Dongfang Ke said with a sly smile.

"Do it!" Shangguan Feiyun shouted, and stretched out the folding fan in his hand. A green snake moved and pointed at Wuchang Hongxue's shoulder.

Dongfang Ke showed a pair of silver ghost claws and pounced with a sly smile.

Dongfang Zhi was also unambiguous, and the wine gourd in his hand swung out like a meteor hammer, whirring.

Shangguan Liang stopped fiddling with his wolf spider, and raised his hand, and three poisonous needles turned into tiny cold lights and shot out.

Wuchang Hongxue shook the long sword in his hand, and it unfolded like a spirit snake, connecting one section after another, with the agility of a steel whip and the sharpness of a long sword. Circle after circle, one after another, airtight.

The weapons met, clanging, and the power pressed the void, and the five people fought together.

With a "clang", the ghost claw in Dongfang Ke's hand was entangled by the spirit snake sword.

Guigu Hongxue shook his wrist, and the spirit snake sword in his hand surged like a wave, and a huge force was transmitted.

Dongfang Ke only felt numbness in his tiger's mouth, and his five fingers loosened, and the ghost claw in his hand flew into the air, and his body staggered.

The spirit snake sword did not stop for a moment, and the tip of the sword was like a spirit snake attacking. Before Dongfang Ke could stand firm, the tip of the sword reached Dongfang Ke's throat three inches.

"Oh, there are three female furnace tripods hidden in my home waiting for me to go back and enjoy. If I die here, it will be a loss." Dongfang Ke shouted in his heart.

At this moment, there was a clang.

Amidst the flying sparks, a copper wine gourd hit the sword of Wuchang Hongxue. The tip of the sword tilted and brushed Dongfang Ke's cheek, and the tuft of long hair on the black mole on his left face was cut off by the tip of the sword.

Dongfang Ke and Dongfang Zhi were originally disciples of the Dongfang family. Although they were not brothers from the same mother, they were still brothers on weekdays. Seeing Dongfang Ke in danger, Dongfang Zhi would of course help him.

"Thank you, brother, I will treat you to a drink when I go back." Dongfang Ke thanked him repeatedly.

"Hehe, no problem."

With the lesson of this attack, Dongfang Ke dared not to advance again.

At the beginning, Wuchang Hongxue could still compete with the four people with the strange and changeable spirit snake sword, and even had a slight advantage.

But after a long time, under the joint attack of the four people, it was inevitable that flaws would be exposed. Accidentally, the shoulder was scratched by Dongfang Ke's ghost claw, leaving a glaring blood red on the snow-white shoulder.

Guigu Hongxue was not in a hurry, and used his secret body skills to fight and retreat.

Seeing that he was in an advantageous position, the four attacked more fiercely, chasing him from the hillside to the bottom of the mountain.

At this moment, a girl shouted in the air: "We are all disciples from the same sect, why do four grown men bully a woman? If you have the ability, compete openly."

Before she finished speaking, a pretty woman in white flashed out from the woods opposite, and next to her stood a sunny boy in a light green gown. It was Mu Jin and Xu Yang who happened to pass by here.
