The demon walked in a relaxed manner.
...
Chu Liang didn't want this to happen either.
They were both following behind Fang Ting, but had fallen behind.
When they saw Fang Ting being struck by a giant tree branch and falling to the ground, Lin Bei cried out, "Oh no! It looks like Senior Brother Fang can't catch that monster! Our mission is going to fail."
Chu Liang could only sigh quietly and said calmly, "If Senior Brother Fang can't do it, then I'll have to try."
"Hmm?" Lin Bei, standing beside him, cocked his head, feeling vaguely strange about what he had just heard.
Then, Chu Liang took out a talisman.
Yes, if Fang Ting could catch up with the demon, he also didn't want to waste the only talisman he obtained from the White Tower.
The Spirit Cat Leaping Talisman!
It is said to greatly enhance agility.
Chu Liang held the talisman with his left hand and with a flick of his fingers, a flame burned it to ashes with a loud bang.
Bang.
As soon as the talisman was used, Chu Liang immediately felt a surge of feline will awakening within himself, and then his body began to move uncontrollably in a straight line.
With a little effort, he leaped several yards effortlessly and landed lightly.
This Spirit Cat Leaping Talisman was indeed powerful!
The effect turned out to be unexpectedly good.
If the White Tower offered after-sales service, he would definitely give this talisman a five-star rating.
After adapting to this force in just a few moments, he began using all his skills to chase after the Man-Faced Yaksha. Looking down from the sky, one could see a black shadow and a white shadow both maintaining an astonishingly high speed, rapidly closing the distance between them.
Gradually, he came up behind the Man-Faced Yaksha, and Chu Liang even felt a sense of excitement. He could sense that the cat spirit inside him was getting excited because of the thrill of the hunt.
It's fortunate that the effect of this talisman can only last for a quarter of an hour; if it was longer, he might really be affected by something bad.
But.
When the Man-Faced Yaksha turned around and saw him, there was a moment of panic on its face... Chu Liang still couldn't contain his excitement, almost instinctively licking the back of his hand.
He wouldn't know how much damage this gentle lick would cause to the young Man-Faced Yaksha's mind.
The Man-Faced Yaksha had already sensed that this person was not right and turned around, wishing it had grown another pair of legs, leaping forward.
But can it escape?
It's very difficult.
Chu Liang suppressed the urge to continue teasing it, rushed forward, sword in hand, and a three-foot sword energy was unleashed!
The Man-Faced Yaksha seemed to have noticed, instantly dodging the close-range attack by becoming transparent!
This strange creature was incredibly agile, but its fighting ability was not strong. Its only innate magical ability was the momentary transparency it had just used to escape from Fang Tian's sword energy prison.
Unfortunately.
This transparency only lasted for a moment.
It meant little against an opponent who could keep up with its speed.
As its form reappeared, Chu Liang's left hand was already raised, and a red glow shot out from his sleeve.
The Demon-Abduction Rope!
There was no avoiding it at such close range.
The Man-Faced Yaksha, with its humanoid body, was instantly bound by the turtle shell harness.
In that instant, it felt as if a thousand horses were galloping in its heart, and a voice was shouting...
Damn!
I knew this guy was a pervert!
As expected!
Living in the countless demons and monsters of the Southern Domain mountains, every demon had the awareness that they could die at any moment.
However...
It can accept death, but it's very difficult to accept death in such a shameful manner.
But that's just life, many things you can't accept, yet they always happen. As the autumn wind passes, the flowers wither, and the great rivers flow away, the deceased wander aimlessly through the vast sky.
Before the curtain falls, the eyes are filled with sword light.
Control and execute the killing.
Hmph.
...
As Chu Liang returned to the crowd with the Human-Faced Jade Flower in hand, the rest of the team were momentarily incredulous.
Nobody could have expected that at the moment when the mission was about to fail, it was actually him who stepped forward to turn the tide!
Fang Ting furrowed his brows and asked, "Junior Brother Chu... How did you do it?"
Xu Ziqing asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Chu, you are so powerful, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin Bei asked in admiration, "Brother Chu, how did you become so skillful, can you teach me...?"
Xu Ziqing looked at him puzzledly, "Huh? What technique?"
The little girl still couldn't quite understand the strangeness of the Soul Binding Rope.
"Oh, your movement techniques, movement techniques!" Lin Bei quickly corrected himself.
"It's nothing..." Chu Liang lightly smiled, "It's actually just using a relatively strong talisman, once used, it's gone, and I'm quite heartbroken."
"I see." Everyone suddenly understood.
In fact, what they guessed was also like this. With Chu Liang's initial stage of spiritual cultivation, it was definitely unlikely that he had such an agile technique. If he had such abilities earlier, there would have been no need to hide them.
Most likely, he used some hidden elixirs or talismans.
As for the origin of the talisman, no one probed further.
In the immortal cultivation world, it is taboo to inquire about others' magical instruments, talismans, elixirs, or abilities...
The reason is simple; spiritual cultivation can be seen, unless there is a huge disparity in cultivation, it's difficult to hide. But these things can be hidden and can make up for the gap in cultivation at a critical moment.
Everyone has their own little secrets, some of which are even used for survival, so naturally they wouldn't want others to know. Sometimes, a slight information gap can make a difference between life and death.
The origin of treasures is better in a well-known orthodox and upright sect like Shu Mountain, but in the wild world of martial artists, many people's treasures are not acquired through clean means.
But regardless of where one's from, it's an act without tact to go and ask about it rashly.
And as the only disciple of the Silver Sword Peak, all the resources of his master were concentrated on him, so it was not surprising that he had some treasures on him.
What they were thinking at the moment was how to make Chu Liang, a third-level initial phase, erupt with a speed surpassing that of Fang Ting, who was in the fourth level. The value of the talisman must be considerable.
Maybe it was the life-saving thing he had left.
The sword coins harvested from this task would certainly not be enough to exchange for such a talisman.
And he, it was for everyone to complete the team task that he reluctantly used such a precious treasure! Without hesitation!
After experiencing this short journey, the impression of Chu Liang had undergone a huge change for those who had some animosity towards him due to his background in the Silver Sword Peak.
So-called charisma.
If Shu Mountain was to select a top disciple now, they would definitely vote for Chu Liang without hesitation!
The thoughtful girl Xu Ziqing smiled and said, "Brother Chu, since you used such a precious talisman, I'll give you my share of the reward for this task to make up for your loss."
Anyway, she really didn't care about this reward, with the master and brother looking out for her, the meaning of her doing tasks was more about gaining experience.
Hearing this, Chu Liang smiled and said, "That's not good..."
Fang Ting also said, "Indeed, you sacrificed so much for the success of the team's task, at least we can't let you suffer. My share, I'll give it to you too."
He mainly came this time to bring Xu Ziqing, and he didn't care so much about the reward. And earlier, when the Nianmian Yao took away the Yu Jinghua, he almost felt like he had lost face. Chu Liang's efforts had really saved this family, and his gratitude at this moment was indescribable.
Chu Liang was about to politely decline, when Lin Bei beside him called out, "Brother Chu, don't refuse! Everyone can see how much you have sacrificed! You are our hero, how can we let you down? I'll give you my share of Lu Ren too, if you don't accept it, it's like treating us as outsiders!"
"Well..." Chu Liang smiled again, and had to say, "I'm really sorry for this."
Lu Ren opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after a moment, he suddenly felt that something was strange... Maybe there was no need to say anything?
"Hmm?"
