The Immortal's Wine Store

Mu Bai and Cai Jun were also a bit surprised that Lu Sulan didn't even hinder their path. They were already prepared for her sneak attack, but they didn't even see her turning her attention at them. It was as if she disdained to fight them, but the two of them merely frowned for an instant before they quickened their pace. Although they felt humiliated for being ignored, their mission was more important than their face, so they set their sights on the store ahead of them.

The Earth Origin Dragon Tree must be taken at all cost! Their almighty sect master will surely behead the three of them if they returned without it!

Can Ye frowned since the two old men were dashing in his direction. He gripped his knife tightly while intently looking at the two individuals, he could not afford to be careless while facing them!

Mu Bai glanced at Can Ye contemptuously as he raised his sickle with the intention to end the latter's life!

"Be careful. This man killed Elder Shiti, so his strength should be on the same level as the both of us." Cai Jun narrowed his eyes while unsheathing the sword behind his back. He was a sword cultivator and a puppet master, so his strength was only slightly weaker than Da Bi.

Mu Bai ignored Cai Jun's warning and sneered in his heart. He pounced at Can Ye while aiming the pointed end of his sickle towards the latter's heart.

"You deserve death for killing an elder of our Undying Corpse Sect! Diieee!" Mu Bai shouted with a merciless glint in his eyes. He might be old, but his fighting capability was definitely not something to trifled with.

After breaking through to the late stage of the 6th-rank King realm, Can Ye's confidence increased tremendously, so he didn't back down while facing two cultivators who were one realm stronger than him. Furthermore, he still had the knife that could even cut a Divine Weapon in half!

He felt the strong killing intent behind Mu Bai's attack, so he hurriedly gathered his true essence to protect himself. Can Ye then lifted his knife with both hands, fearlessly meeting Mu Bai's attack head-on!

Mu Bai was surprised at Can Ye's bravery, but he smirked coldly in his heart. 'Do you think I'm as weak like that old bastard Shiti Xibo? Laughable!'

However, the smile on Mu Bai's face froze and instantly turned into horror. Can Ye's knife effortlessly sliced his sickle in half!

'Heck! That was a Divine Weapon, but it was actually destroyed in a blink of an eye? Just what kind of knife is this bastard holding?!' Mu Bai thought in dread.

Luckily for him, he was able to evade the knife by a hair's breadth, making him break out in cold sweat. If he wasn't able to evade in time, his head would have been cut off...

Mu Bai hurriedly distanced himself from Can Ye and glanced at the knife in the latter's hand with a heated gaze. 'If I can get my hands on that knife, my battle prowess will surely increase by manyfold.'

Cai Jun who was right behind Mu Bai didn't allow Can Ye to take a breather, he lifted his sword and swiped it towards the latter, producing an air-splitting sound as his sword inched closer to Can Ye.

"Swoosh!"

Can Ye felt the hairs on his body stood on end while facing Cai Jun's sword. 'This old man is much stronger than the other.' The former muttered in his heart, but a strong battle intent flickered in his eyes!

The two men brandished their weapons, causing the surroundings to be covered in dust, but neither of the two could even touch the other.

Cai Jun knew that his opponent's knife was peculiar, so he didn't dare recklessly clash with him and merely evaded Can Ye's attacks.

'This guy's knife should be a Saint Weapon at the very least, but how can he wield such an item with his trifling cultivation level?' For all he knew, only 9th-rank Saint realm experts were capable of wielding a Saint Weapon. If a cultivator with a low level of cultivation tries to forcefully control a weapon at that level, he would only harm himself, but Can Ye didn't look to be in dire straits. In fact, his battle prowess increased even further as if he was injected with chicken blood.

Cai Jun frowned while taking out a stone coffin from his space ring. Facing an opponent with such a monstrous weapon, he decided to go all out.

With a tap of his hand, his stone coffin sprung open, revealing a human corpse with rotting flesh. Cai Jun's corpse puppet had a sword in its right hand, so it must have been a sword cultivator before it was refined.

An unbearable decaying smell wafted out from the stone coffin, but Cai Jun didn't even wrinkle his nose.

"I have to admit that you're somewhat capable to even make me summon my corpse puppet, but without that knife of yours, are you even qualified to stand in my way?!" Cai Jun's cold voice drifted, making Can Ye feel a bit nervous.

Indeed! Without the knife, he would have died right from the beginning, but Can Ye was confident that he could win against them if they were only in the same realm.

Mu Bai watched the scene unfold and didn't want to be outdone. He summoned his corpse puppet, but it didn't look as impressive as the other. The only thing great about his corpse puppet was the strong presence it exuded. It was actually a puppet at the peak of the 7th-rank Emperor realm!

The pressure that Can Ye felt significantly increased when the two elders of the Undying Corpse Sect summoned their corpse puppets. Even if he had the knife, how could he block the combined attack of two experts at the 7th-rank Emperor realm?

However, Can Ye's fighting intent didn't waver, instead, it became even stronger!

Just as the three were about to clash, several strong auras erupted near them, making the three men glance around.

Jiu Shen who was reclining on his chair set his calm gaze on the newcomers.

"Hestia, Theia, don't let anyone among those people step inside the store. If they try to barge in, kill them immediately." His voice remained indifferent as if reaping someone's life was something insignificant.

Hestia and Theia nodded their heads in obeisance before they turned their cold gazes towards the people dashing towards the store.

Ice yawned and decided to take a nap on Jiu Shen's lap. The battle was just too boring for her to continue watching.
