Chapter 6:：The Witch's Attack

"When you have a build like yours, you call yourself talented? Saying things like that without fearing people will laugh at you," Mu Xuyang spoke, and a guy around the same age as Lei Bao, standing beside him, sneered and said, "Just tell the truth, did Zhao Junming use such nonsense to deceive your trust, and you handed over the obtained treasure to him in exchange for the identity token and qualification to enter the Lei Ying Hall?"

The speaker's name was Liu Yufei, Lei Bao's junior, and his cultivation level was slightly lower than Lei Bao's.

"You're talking nonsense. Master is not that kind of person. He is a person of integrity, unlike you guys who are extremely despicable and hurtful," Mu Xuyang defended Zhao Junming, whom he had just met. He felt angry when he heard the people from the Feijian Hall saying this, and he quickly spoke up.

"Who Zhao Junming is, I know better than you. Stop pretending and tell the truth, or you'll suffer," Liu Yufei threatened with a cold smile.

"I'm telling the truth. You guys even checked all the items I have on me, and you still won't let me go. This is simply robbery. I'm now a person of status, a disciple of the Lei Ying Hall. If you're not afraid of the Lei Ying Hall's retaliation, go ahead and attack me," Mu Xuyang gritted his teeth and said. After that, he collected his identity token, money bag, and dry food and ignored Lei Bao, Liu Yufei, and others. He calmly walked towards the road leading to Huayin County beside the grass.

After realizing that the treasure was no longer in Mu Xuyang's possession, he became worthless to them. Seeing Mu Xuyang leaving, they unanimously decided that it was unnecessary to kill a useless small figure and bear the charge of murdering a disciple of the Immortal Path. They let him go.

After Mu Xuyang left, Liu Yufei turned to Lei Bao and asked, "Now we can be sure that the treasure is no longer in his possession and has most likely fallen into the hands of Zhao Junming. What should we do now?"

"If the treasure is really in Zhao Junming's hands, openly attacking him would bring unnecessary trouble to the Feijian Hall. We cannot act rashly. We should first return to the Huayin County Feijian Hall and report this to the hall master before coming up with another plan to obtain the treasure," Lei Bao said.

"Zhao Junming always acts cautiously. He knows that the treasure in his hands will bring endless trouble and may surrender it to exchange for contribution points from the sect to gain actual benefits and avoid being targeted by others who covet the treasure," Liu Yufei added.

"A good treasure can change a person's destiny. If he is willing to surrender it, then it will lose much of its value."

"Hmm, your analysis makes sense, senior brother."

"Let's go back to the Feijian Hall first and plan for the treasure later."

...

After Lei Bao and his group had left, a stylish and enchanting woman emerged from behind a large tree at a hundred feet away. She looked in the direction where Lei Bao, Liu Yufei, and others had left, coldly smiled, then leaped onto a branch and jumped a few times to reach a large tree by the roadside. She stopped there and concealed her figure.

This enchanting woman was named Molly, the deputy hall master of the Fire Cloud Branch of the Blood Shadow Sect's Thunderbolt Hall.

She came here naturally to search for the treasure. Due to her late arrival, she had no clues and targeted the Feijian Hall people, who dispatched a large number of personnel to search near the town.

When she hid in the dark and learned from Lei Bao and others that the treasure might have fallen into Zhao Junming's hands, she decided to wait for Zhao Junming to appear on this road, ambush him, and seize the treasure in his hands.

Not long after hiding her figure, Molly saw Zhao Junming flying on his sword and immediately showed a hint of joy on her face.

Like Lei Bao and Zhao Junming, Molly's cultivation level was also in the middle stage of the Rune Realm, and her combat power was slightly higher or lower than theirs, but not by much. Whoever acted first had the chance to gain the upper hand and defeat the opponent.

It was precisely because of this that Molly decided to lurk alone and ambush Zhao Junming. Otherwise, with her cunning, she would never risk intercepting Zhao Junming on the road, where there could be skilled Immortal Path experts at any time and only a few hundred miles away from Huayin County.

As Zhao Junming approached the tree where Molly was hiding, her excitement grew stronger. She seemed to believe that once she succeeded in ambushing Zhao Junming, she would obtain the treasure in his hands as she wished.

Finally, Zhao Junming entered Molly's ambush range.

To avoid unexpected incidents, at the moment Zhao Junming entered the ambush range, Molly's figure flashed out and swung the iron bone whip in her hand, fiercely whipping towards Zhao Junming's head.

Zhao Junming, who was rushing on the road, did not expect someone to ambush him in broad daylight. Caught off guard, he saw a blue whip like a spirit snake whip towards him. Knowing he couldn't dodge it, he raised his palm and grabbed the whip.

"Crack!" A faint blue light burst out, and the whip, faintly mixed with a trace of light green light, fiercely whipped Zhao Junming's palm, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone and blood flowing out immediately.

"Not a slow reaction. With your right hand injured and poisoned, it's unrealistic to fight me. Quickly hand over the treasure you obtained, and I might spare your life." After successfully ambushing Zhao Junming, Molly's actions did not stop. While shouting loudly at Zhao Junming, she swung the iron bone whip again and whipped towards his waist.

"You despicable witch, I'll fight you!" Seeing the whip shadow sweeping towards him, Zhao Junming flipped down his sword and narrowly avoided Molly's whip. He extended his left hand, grabbed the hilt, and swiftly swung the sword, slashing out a green sword aura that shot towards Molly.

"Using swordsmanship with your left hand, the power is indeed much weaker than using your right hand. These few wooden sword auras can't hurt me." Molly coldly smiled, continuously waving the iron bone whip like a spirit snake, and quickly dodged the sword aura. In the blink of an eye, she shattered the sword aura with her whip and then approached Zhao Junming.

Zhao Junming's combat power was comparable to Molly's under normal circumstances, but his right hand injury and poisoning greatly weakened his strength. When he saw Molly approaching, he realized it was not the time to be stubborn. He quickly condensed a symbol glowing with green light, threw it towards Molly, and then fled towards Huayin County.
