After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 63: This Melon is Not Ripe, So I Gave Him a Knife

It is human nature to enjoy spectating, and Zhang Chi is no exception.

Originally, tonight was supposed to be about eating chicken. With the Foundation Building approaching, he needed to replenish his body. Additionally, after using the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon multiple times, although he gained many insights, he also suffered some losses.

The Foundation Building emphasizes the integration of spirit, energy, and consciousness. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chi wouldn't need to replenish.

However, the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon does have a certain strengthening effect on the Divine Soul. With Zhang Chi's guidance, his Divine Soul has become stronger.

Gu Youyou's Qi Refining speed is also quite fast.

After all this, "spirit" has become his weak point.

In order to prepare for the Foundation Building in half a month, Gu Youyou can only go out to find food.

The Song and Dance Chicken from the Spirit Beast District is quite good. After trying it once, Gu Youyou couldn't forget it.

If it weren't for being occupied with other matters recently and Zhang Chi's request for caution, she would definitely go there every day.

Today, in order to replenish her spirit, she forced herself to go out.

Just steal one, and no one will notice.

As a result, she encountered something to eat on the way.

To eat melon or to eat chicken, that is the question.

Zhang Chi made the decision for her.

"I can have it all, as long as you don't get caught by the Elder."

Zhang Chi was testing Gu Youyou's strength. Although Gu Youyou has become more cautious under Zhang Chi's influence, she subconsciously let her guard down around him.

Even though she was secretly afraid that Zhang Chi would plot against her, at this moment, she said without any concern, "I've been a thief for so long, I still have some skills."

If it weren't for fearing the three Elders of the sect, she would have killed Chong Xu long ago.

Killing Chong Xu is Zhang Chi's second strongest desire.

The first strongest desire is to deceive his master...

These two desires are the most difficult to fulfill and would provoke the Divine Ability Elders. There's no way around it, so Gu Youyou can only put them aside for now.

Now that Chong Xu has left Sword Sect, it seems like an opportunity.

She will follow him first. If there's no chance, she'll just eat some melon. If there is a chance, she'll help Zhang Chi fulfill his wish, which will also benefit her.

The two of them agreed, and Gu Youyou took action.

Every time she leaped, she stayed in the shadows, and Chong Xu was completely unaware of someone following him.

This also gave Zhang Chi a new understanding of Gu Youyou's strength.

Chong Xu was very cautious and careful along the way, fearing that his relationship with Qing Hui would be discovered.

Following the guidance of the Soul Lamp, he quickly found Qing Hui's location.

With a sweep of his Divine Soul, Chong Xu didn't detect anyone else's presence, so he floated into Qing Hui's room.

Qing Hui quickly woke up and, upon seeing Chong Xu, pretended to be surprised and said, "Father? Why are you here?"

Qing Hui had already set up a hidden formation in this room, and Zi Mian was hiding in the corner.

She was a puppet, and when she didn't move, there was almost no fluctuation in her aura.

In order to kill Chong Xu, Qing Hui had made thorough preparations.

But the difference in cultivation level made Qing Hui lack confidence and feel nervous.

Seeing Qing Hui's guilty reaction, Chong Xu felt that his suspicion of him had increased.

"I came to ask you why you killed my son!" His calm voice contained suppressed anger.

Upon hearing this, Qing Hui was instantly shocked.

"That Sword Sect disciple was Brother Zhou You?" In terms of strength, Qing Hui is a generation higher than Zhou You, but since he recognized Chong Xu as his backer, he could only lower himself and be on par with Brother Zhou You.

At this moment, the shock he showed was genuine, and he believed even more in the information Zi Mian had passed on.

If Qing Hui had only shown pure shock, he and Chong Xu might have had a chance to clear up the misunderstanding.

However, Chong Xu saw a hint of determination in his panicked eyes.

Why was it determination?

Chong Xu carefully sensed it and suddenly realized that something was wrong with this room. His gaze also became sharp.

An old cultivator who has lived to this age would never give someone the opportunity to ambush him.

He directly made his move, and Qing Hui noticed his actions and quickly formed a seal, activating the formation in the room.

"The Eight Directions Forbidden God Formation. It seems you were prepared. But do you think that with just a formation, you can defeat me?"

Chong Xu looked disdainfully at Qing Hui. The Eight Directions Forbidden God Formation could indeed weaken his Divine Soul power, but the gap between him and Qing Hui couldn't be bridged by just a formation.

Qing Hui also knew this and didn't waste any words. He directly used a Law Treasure, and twelve flying knives floated in front of him, quickly shooting towards Chong Xu.

Calmly drawing his sword, Chong Xu deflected the flying knives. Under Qing Hui's control, the knives formed a new formation and continued to attack Chong Xu.

These twelve linked knives are the Law Weapon meticulously customized by Qing Hui. When used, they consume a particularly large amount of true essence.

However, Chong Xu still handles them with ease, which makes Qing Hui even more nervous.

He has been giving it his all from the beginning, but Chong Xu has yet to bring out his Law Weapon.

It seems that the formation cannot bridge the gap between them.

Fortunately, Qing Hui still has a trick up his sleeve, so he has not given up.

Zi Mian watches quietly from the corner.

She is waiting, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Right now, she only has a puppet, and she doesn't have a guaranteed victory against Chong Xu.

Moreover, Chong Xu hasn't shown any real skills yet, so she can only wait.

Fortunately, after testing Qing Hui's level, Chong Xu no longer wants to continue playing with him.

"With this level of strength, who gave you the courage to resist me?"

He no longer asks if Qing Hui killed Zhou You.

At this point, that question is no longer important. Qing Hui must die anyway.

Chong Xu doesn't take out his Law Weapon, but instead takes out a purple talisman.

Seeing the talisman, Qing Hui's face changes drastically.

He thought that Chong Xu not using his Law Weapon against him was a sign of underestimation, giving him an opportunity. But he didn't expect that Chong Xu would bring out such a precious purple talisman without making a move.

This kind of talisman, also known as a treasure talisman, can only be refined by experts at the level of Divine Ability. It is extremely precious and powerful.

Chong Xu intends to instantly kill Qing Hui with a single move, without giving him a chance to fight back.

"Shockwave Talisman, go!"

Chong Xu throws the talisman, and it turns into an electric light, appearing above Qing Hui's head. Immediately after, a purple thunder bursts out from the talisman. Qing Hui only has time to activate his defensive Law Weapon all over his body while shouting, "Someone, save me!"

If he isn't saved soon, he will really die.

Zi Mian also knows how to choose the right moment to take action. When Chong Xu throws the talisman, she launches a sneak attack.

But obviously, Chong Xu was already prepared.

Zi Mian's dagger only manages to stab half an inch into Chong Xu's lower back before he dodges it, then counterattacks with a sword, forcing Zi Mian to retreat.

"I knew it. Without any help, where did you find the courage to challenge me?"

Chong Xu's face is full of arrogance, as if everything is under his control.

Qing Hui's defensive Law Weapon is completely destroyed by the lightning, and he is covered in black smoke, looking extremely miserable. It is clear that he has lost his fighting ability.

"Is he really that weak? Looks like he's done for today."

Zhang Chi is stunned. The original plan to drive a wedge between Qing Hui and Zi Mian seems like it won't be so easy to achieve.

Chong Xu is usually domineering in the sect, but he unexpectedly shows such stability when fighting against others. He even has an absolute advantage in a 1v2 situation.

Fortunately, Zhang Chi didn't pin his hopes on Qing Hui and Zi Mian.

He still has Plan B.

Just as he was thinking about implementing the plan quickly, the situation on the field changes again.

After Zi Mian's failed sneak attack, she doesn't choose to escape but instead engages in close combat. Of course, Chong Xu looks down on such methods.

Cultivators should be elegant.

But he didn't expect Zi Mian to be so determined. After getting close to him, she directly activates an explosive mode.

Caught off guard, Chong Xu is also blasted, his head buzzing. Before he can recover, Qing Hui, who was originally lying on the ground, moves.

A silver wire mesh falls from the roof, capturing Chong Xu who was unprepared.

Qing Hui also launches a fierce attack, merging the twelve flying knives into one, becoming a greatly enhanced flying sword.

Previously, this was just a show of weakness, but now it's a true killer move.

However, a golden bell phantom appears on the surface of Chong Xu.

Ordinary defensive Law Weapons cannot withstand this sword. It's probably another treasure talisman.

Qing Hui's heart is filled with despair. He thought that the opportunity Zi Mian fought so hard for would allow him to counterattack against Chong Xu, but he didn't expect this old thief to have another trick up his sleeve, and he is already at his wit's end.

"Hahaha, with your tricks, you think you can kill me?"

Chong Xu breaks free from the silver wire mesh on his body and smugly laughs.

Winning against someone in a fight can indeed bring inner joy.

Qing Hui has already closed his eyes, waiting for death. But at this moment, a sword tip suddenly appears in front of Chong Xu's chest.

It's only when the sword pierces through his chest that Chong Xu feels the pain. He lowers his head and looks, filled with disbelief.

He turns his head, wanting to see who attacked him, but a cold hand crushes his neck.

Chong Xu realizes that something is wrong. It's inevitable that his physical body will be destroyed, but he is at the peak of Divine Soul. His Divine Soul can leave his body and survive.

As long as he can find a suitable body, he can possess it and be reborn.

Unfortunately, the moment his Divine Soul leaves his body, a pitch-black hand grabs his soul and squeezes it hard. Chong Xu's soul shatters into fragments, slowly dissipating like fluorescent light.
