Volume 1 Chapter 393 - Zhang Liang's Plan and the Ladder over the Wall
After leaving the museum, the first thing Zhao Rui did was to call the Red Flame Old Demon.
He needed the Red Flame Old Demon to cooperate with his plan.
When the Red Flame Old Demon received Zhao Rui's phone call, he felt a bit flattered, but Zhao Rui hadn't contacted him for a long time.
Of course, he also knew that Zhao Rui had nothing to do, since he called him, there was something he needed to do, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly asked what he needed to do.
"Just want you to do a small favor ...." Zhao Rui then recounted his plan, briefly, to the Red Flame Old Demon.
"This .... Isn't a small favor!" The Red Flame Old Demon immediately yelled on the other end of the phone after hearing this.
He was in Zhao Rui's plan, and he needed to face numerous Japanese Shintoism practitioners, even those who were strong at the Divine Separation Stage.
And since he was only a Jindan stage Fire Lizard Demon, this was definitely an extremely dangerous task for him.
If he was not careful, his five hundred years of Taoism would only be completely finished!
"Are you afraid?" Zhao Rui asked.
"Nonsense! I'm only at the Jindan Stage, so of course I'm scared when facing a Divine Separation Stage cultivator!" The Red Flame Old Demon was blunt.
"It's not like I'm asking you to fight them, I'm just asking you to attract the attention of those cultivators, as long as they show up, you spread your legs and run, wouldn't that be fine?"
"But ... they definitely run faster than me!"
"That's something you don't have to worry too much about. I'll look for Master Xuan Ling of the Artifact Refining Sect, as well as Feng Sangzi of the Danding Sect to think of a way to make sure that you'll be able to escape without any damage anyway."
"Master Xuan Ling? Wind Sangzi?" When the Red Flame Old Demon heard these two names, he was a little shaken again.
These two were both renowned figures in the cultivation world, even if they weren't located at the very top, they were still grandmasters who stood at the upper echelons of the cultivation world, overlooking all living beings, and were definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator would be able to climb high enough to be able to reach.
If he could obtain one or two treasures from them, even if they were ordinary goods in the eyes of the two masters, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation!
In addition, he did owe Zhao Rui a favor that always had to be returned.
The Red Flame Old Demon thought carefully for half a day, and felt that this risk, was still worth taking.
"Alright, I'm willing to do it if it guarantees my safety."
"Then it's a deal." Zhao Rui hung up the phone but didn't feel much relief, he still had to head to the Heavenly Blessing Illusion Realm and borrow a few life-saving items for the Red Flame Old Demon.
Master Xuan Ling was quite the master, and once he heard that Zhao Rui wanted to borrow a few magic weapons, he didn't think much about it and agreed very quickly.
Of course, while being quick, Grandmaster Xuan Ling also put forward a small request with a pleasing face, that is, he hoped that if Zhao Rui was able to get another Ancient Artifact fragment, he would remember to share it with him.
Eating a man's mouth is soft, taking a man's hand is short, Zhao Rui was naturally not in a good position to refuse, so he nodded his head, anyway, those fragments, he was useless in holding them, so he might as well do a favor.
Master Xuan Ling, on the other hand, was overjoyed, stroking his white beard, almost laughing, thinking that he had picked up a great bargain.
Taking the magic weapon obtained from Master Xuan Ling, Zhao Rui left the illusion and returned to Binyang.
After waiting at his home for a few hours, at eight or nine o'clock in the night, the red-haired, red-bearded Red Flame Old Demon flew into his home, following the address he had given earlier.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Red Flame Old Demon. I thought you wouldn't dare to come." Zhao Rui stood up from the sofa and greeted him.
"How come? You, Zhao Rui, have an order, how could I dare not come?" The Red Flame Old Demon said in a hurry.
Zhao Rui smiled and handed him three magic weapons, "These are the three treasures I borrowed from Master Xuan Ling. The Nine Palace Hidden Spirit Gold Talisman, allows you to conceal your aura for up to fifteen minutes, but it's disposable, and it's automatically destroyed after it's used. Ice Crystal Shield, able to attenuate the attacks of a strong Divine Separation Stage, well, it can only withstand it twice. There is also a five-colored fire lion axe, this magic weapon is not restricted in use, and is able to significantly enhance your attack power, even if it can't make your attack power, reach the out-of-body stage, but it's not that far off."
Since the first two items were consumable in nature, the Red Flame Old Demon hadn't been very interested, but once he heard about the magic weapon behind it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly snatched it over, holding it in his hand, refusing to relax.
This magic weapon was many times better than his original one.
At this time, he suddenly felt that, for Zhao Rui to do things, although it is necessary to take some risks, but the reward is really not generally generous!
The greater the risk, the higher the reward, that was really true.
When the Red Flame Old Demon's excitement passed, Zhao Rui carefully instructed him to act according to the plan, the Red Flame Old Demon listened very carefully, this can be related to his life, can not be sloppy.
Command finished, two people in the apartment quietly sitting, stay until late at night, around the lights of the high-rise buildings, are extinguished more or less, only then began to act.
The two left the apartment and flew to the top of a tall building about a kilometer away from the museum.
Zhao Rui pointed out the target to the Red Flame Old Demon, and the Red Flame Old Demon continued to fly towards the museum, while Zhao Rui stood on the tall building, quietly waiting for the time to come.
The Red Flame Old Demon's flight speed was very fast, and within ten seconds or so, it flew to the museum and dived in.
Since the Red Flame Old Demon activated the Nine Palace Hidden Spirit Gold Talisman on his body, it wasn't until he had sneaked into the museum that he was detected by the Divine Dao Sect practitioners such as Qing Yuan Hei Cheng who had ambushed him there.
The crowd could not help but be overjoyed, especially Qingyuan Heicheng, who thought that the bait he had sprinkled had finally succeeded in drawing the enemy out, and could not help but have a smug smile on his face.
He was about to set up his men to round up this cultivator that had appeared, when he realized that the Red Flame Old Demon had suddenly unfolded his body, and without even taking the Rong Witch Stone Slab, he fled towards the outside.
"This fellow is going to escape halfway!"
Qingyuan Heicheng screamed out in the dark, and without even thinking, he hurriedly spread his body and chased after the Red Flame Old Demon at full speed.
He knew that there was only one chance, and missing it would make it impossible to lure the enemy out again.
The other Divine Dao Cult cultivators, too, showed up one after another, following closely behind Qing Yuan Ping Cheng.
"Don't all go after them! Leave half of your people to guard the Rongwu Stone Tablet!" Kato Tadayuki was still relatively rational, and hurriedly scolded more than twenty of his subordinates to stay behind and remain in the museum with him.
The two of them, Red Flame Old Demon and Seigen Heisei, chased and fled in a gust of wind, rushing out of the museum and racing wildly through the city.
Red Fire Old Demon deliberately picked some complicated terrain alleys, drilling around, Qingyuan Heisei although powerful, but for a time could not catch up, only able to slowly close the distance.
Soon, the two were far behind the museum.
Zhao Rui stood on top of a tall building, wearing his Underworld Spirit Mask, hiding all of his breath, all of it.
When he saw the Red Flame Old Demon leading a group of Japanese cultivators, rushing out from the museum, he knew that his plan to distract the tiger from the mountain had succeeded.
He leapt down from the hundred meter high building and landed on the ground, then silently approached the museum.
He knew that he had to use the fastest speed possible to retrieve that Rongwu Slate.
Because, he didn't know how much time the Red Flame Old Demon would be able to pester Qingyuan Heisei.
In case if Qing Yuan Pingcheng suddenly came to his senses and killed him halfway back, it would be all for naught.
Zhao Rui approached the museum and jumped to the top floor, then spread his senses out to detect the situation inside.
Since most of the cultivators had already chased out with Qing Yuan Heisei, the museum's defenses appeared to be somewhat empty.
Only Kato Tadayuki led two Shinto priests and more than twenty ordinary members of the Shinto religion, guarding the surroundings of the Rongwu stone slabs.
"There's no time like the present!" Zhao Rui grinned, then took out the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade from his Qiankun Ring and injected his True Qi into it.
The dark red aura of the blade immediately lit up in the darkness, like a hungry beast hoping to get its fill of blood.
Zhao Rui blasted open the roof with one fist, then shouted, his entire body falling straight down like a meteor, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade in his hand, with a fierce might, chopped at Kato Tadayuki with all his might.
All of the Shintoism practitioners in the museum, all of them were taken aback, and they all raised their heads to look upwards, only to see their eyes filled with piercing blood-colored blade awnings, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes!
"How did another one come out!" Kato Tadayuki's face changed drastically as he let out a cry of alarm and hurriedly backed up in a hurry, hoping to avoid the blazing blow.
However, Zhao Rui was determined to fight quickly, and this slash, which concentrated almost all of his power, was swift and incomparable, so how could he dodge it?
"Boom!" With a loud bang, Zhao Rui's blade heavily chopped into his spine.
Kato Tadayuki screamed miserably, and his entire body was sent flying out, crashing through the thick walls of the museum, and flew all the way to the street a hundred meters away before landing.
The defensive chain armor he was wearing was split into pieces, and the skin on his back opened up, deep wounds, pulling from his shoulders to his hips.
The fierce true qi that invaded his body shook his meridians to pieces.
Kato Tadayuki, the great Shinto priest of the Hachiman Shrine, had lost his fighting strength without even casting a single incantation.
