Ch 244: All Undercover
A giant green toad opened its gaping maw, emitting a bellow like an old ox.
“Sigh…Young man, you are impetuous.”
Xu Cangtian watched Jin Zidou start a fight without a word, let out a long sigh, and drew two fingers across the air.
In the blink of an eye, the ground cracked open, creating a huge fissure that seemed to bisect the entire space.
The giant green frog hadn’t even launched an attack when its clumsy, bloated body plunged into the abyss…
Then, with a wave of Xu Cangtian’s hand, the fissure, severed in the middle, quickly closed.
“What kind of move was that!”
Jin Zidou felt he was in trouble.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, every stone in this space seemed to be at Xu Cangtian’s command.
Jin Zidou felt very uncomfortable here.
“You guys, hurry up! We can’t be held back by this old man!”
Jin Zidou roared, and the several people behind him immediately sprang into action.
At the same time, Jin Zidou also pulled out a few palm-sized toads from his pocket.
The toads quickly grew larger and lunged towards Xu Cangtian.
Jin Buhuan also acted at the same time, his cheeks puffed out, his body crouching low, his form resembling a humanoid giant frog.
Immediately afterward, Jin Buhuan pushed off with his legs, his body charging towards Xia Yun and Xu Cangtian like a launched projectile.
“Toad Skill? How disgusting…”
Xia Yun showed a look of disgust. A dark shadow suddenly darted out from behind her, kicking Jin Buhuan away.
The shadow stopped, and the crowd saw clearly that it was an exact replica of Xia Yun!
This “Fake Xia Yun” and the “Real Xia Yun” had the same figure, hairstyle, skin, and face.
Except for her eyes, which were rather vacant and lifeless, everything else was almost identical to Xia Yun.
Zhang Buran wasn’t very surprised because this was Xia Yun’s magic… Spirit Puppet Creation.
Simply put, Xia Yun could use her own magical power to create a clone.
The clone’s strength and attack power could be controlled, and this clone was Xia Yun’s main means of attack.
At the same time that Jin Zidou summoned several giant frogs towards Xu Cangtian.
Xu Cangtian waved a small hand, and the giant frogs froze in mid-air.
Jin Zidou clasped his hands together, and the frogs’ bodies rapidly swelled before exploding with a “bang”!
Xu Cangtian and Xia Yun were about to be affected by the explosion, but “Fake Xia Yun” activated her magical power, creating a transparent barrier in front of everyone, protecting the two.
Suddenly, a huge poisonous snake darted towards Xia Yun and Xu Cangtian!
Xu Cangtian was the first to notice, and with a raised hand, the snake froze in mid-air.
“Poison Cicada Squad, Mo Qianchou? Aren’t you already dead?”
Xu Cangtian was quite surprised to see that it was Mo Qianchou who had summoned the snake.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Mo Qianchou tried to run, but a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
“Fake Xia Yun” appeared behind Mo Qianchou with ghostly speed, and with a single strike, knocked Mo Qianchou unconscious.
At this time, Jin Buhuan jumped in and started fighting with “Fake Xia Yun”.
“Qianchou!”
“You two? Still not attacking!”
Seeing Mo Qianchou knocked unconscious, Jin Zidou was quite anxious and rushed forward regardless.
At the same time, he called out to Zhang Buran and Bei Miaomiao, who had been inactive.
“Then… me?”
Zhang Buran pointed at himself, exchanged glances with Xia Yun, and almost burst out laughing.
“Adult… what should we do?” Qie Man whispered in Zhang Buran’s ear.
“Just act.”
“Oh… Look out!”
Zhang Buran gathered his strength for a punch, slowly throwing it, but “accidentally” missed, hitting Jin Buhuan in the face, who was entangled with “Fake Xia Yun”.
Jin Buhuan was sent flying, spinning 720 degrees in the air before falling…
“Ran Buzang, are you blind? Why did you hit me!”
“Oh, sorry, sorry…” Zhang Buran scratched his head “apologetically”, then pretended to fight with “Fake Xia Yun”.
Then he was “accidentally” punched by Fake Xia Yun and flew more than ten meters, landing on Jin Zidou, pinning him underneath.
“Don’t cause trouble!”
Jin Zidou had just gotten up when Zhang Buran pressed him back to the ground, making a close contact with the earth.
“Spit! What are you doing!”
“Sorry, sorry…”
Zhang Buran pretended to pull Jin Zidou up, then his hand slipped, and Jin Zidou fell to the ground again, face-planting.
“You! You did that on purpose!”
Jin Zidou finally understood that Zhang Buran had done it on purpose.
“Oops… I got caught…”
“Ran Buzang! Why did you do that!”
“We only have a chance to escape if we take these two down, otherwise…”
“Sorry, there are three of us.”
Zhang Buran interrupted Jin Zidou, waving to Xia Yun and Xu Cangtian: “Senior Xu Cangtian, there is also the Black Wings Team, the captain and four members infiltrated the Daoist Alliance, and their whereabouts are unknown. Do you want to pursue them? Leave this to me.”
Xu Cangtian calmly took a sip of tea and nodded: “Mm, okay, leave it to you.”
After saying this, Xu Cangtian’s figure flashed, and he disappeared from sight.
The surrounding scenery of clear water and beautiful mountains, bridges and flowing water, also disappeared in an instant, becoming pitch black, flickering with dark red and yellow lights, a little gloomy and terrifying.
This was the true scene inside the Ghost Binding Hall.
“You! You’re an undercover agent! Damn!”
Jin Zidou was enraged and tried to struggle to his feet, but Zhang Buran slapped him to the ground.
“Being with a troublemaker like you makes me feel like my whole body stinks.”
Zhang Buran’s disdainful look further angered Jin Zidou.
Jin Buhuan, who had been sent flying, struggled to his feet in the distance; half of his face was swollen.
“Brother! Damn it, I’ll help you!”
Before Jin Buhuan had taken two steps, Qie Man attacked him from behind, sending him flying with a palm strike.
“Sorry, I’m also undercover.”
Qie Man moved towards Zhang Buran, showing his allegiance.
“Zhao Xinde! You traitor, the Heavenly Yin Society gave you so many resources!”
Jin Buhuan struggled to his feet, feeling a dull pain in his back.
“I was just misled by you! I have now abandoned the dark side and returned to the light, repented…”
Qie Man patted his chest and said, “righteously”.
“Bei Miaomiao, are you also undercover!” Jin Zidou gritted his teeth and questioned Bei Miaomiao, who had been watching.
“I’m just here to watch the show…”
Bei Miaomiao fiddled with her fingernails. She had been standing at the back since the beginning, with an attitude of “it’s none of my business”.
She really was just watching a show.
Jin Zidou’s eyes were practically spitting fire; all three of them were undercover agents.
Except for the unconscious Mo Qianchou, only the Jin brothers were fighting alone.
From the beginning, their plan had been known to the Daoist Alliance…
Where did the Black Wings Team go?
Were they also undercover agents? Or did they betray them and run away?
At this moment, Jin Zidou was about to collapse.
He thought he had a strong army, all elites, but everyone was a spy…
“Jin Zidou, confess the members of your Heavenly Yin Society and your superior, and strive for leniency.”
Zhang Buran lifted Jin Zidou by his clothes and said calmly.
Jin Zidou was furious and pulled out a toad from his pocket, crushing it.
After the toad exploded, black mist scattered and instantly filled the entire space.
“Ran Buzang! You’ll pay the price for playing me. This poison mist is toad venom, and using magical power to resist is useless! You will all be poisoned! But Jin Buhuan and I have cultivated the Toad Skill, so we won’t be affected by the poison! Haha!”
The next moment, Jin Zidou’s smile froze on his face.
Zhang Buran looked at Jin Zidou with the eyes of an idiot, unaffected by the poison mist.
“Why? Why aren’t you poisoned!”
Jin Zidou’s expression was incredibly shocked.
“Do you really think you can poison me with this? You must have a very low opinion of me, Zhang Buran?” Zhang Buran sneered.
“Zhang Buran?”
“Ran Buzang…”
“You… you… you… You’re Zhang Buran? The Heavenly Level Daoist Zhang Buran?”
The expression on Jin Zidou’s face gradually changed from shock, panic, and enlightenment.
“The real deal.”
Zhang Buran had originally wanted to use talismans to disperse the poison mist because Xia Yun and Bei Miaomiao might be affected.
But the poison mist suddenly began to fade, converging towards a single point, as if being absorbed.
It turned out that Qie Man had effortlessly absorbed all the poison mist.
“You… how is it possible to absorb my poison mist? This is… this is toad venom I’ve refined and purified for more than ten years! It is one of the most potent poisons in the world, why are you unaffected after absorbing it?”
Jin Zidou was greatly shocked.
Qie Man swallowed all the poison mist in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and let out a satisfied burp.
“Heh, showing off in front of an expert.”
“This is worthy of being called one of the world’s most potent poisons? In front of me, this poison is as thin as plain water.”
“This is impossible… this is impossible?” Jin Zidou’s pupils dilated, feeling utterly hopeless.
“This is impossible!”
Jin Zidou decided to make a last-ditch effort, grabbing Zhang Buran’s arm and trying to bite him.
Zhang Buran found it disgusting, so he let go, wanting to see what else Jin Zidou could do.
After Jin Zidou landed, he scrambled a few steps and shouted loudly: “Mo Qianchou! Wake up!”
Zhang Buran laughed, that’s it?
What good would waking Mo Qianchou do?
Was this Jin Zidou’s last resort?
But Zhang Buran and the others still watched Jin Zidou’s clownish behavior with interest.
“Qianchou Gu! Qianchou, Qianchou, thousands of sorrows and regrets, there is Qianchou!”
As Jin Zidou shouted loudly, Mo Qianchou, who had been unconscious, moved her fingers.
Zhang Buran frowned; he perceived something moving in Mo Qianchou’s head.
It seemed… like a Gu insect?
In the next moment, Mo Qianchou suddenly opened her eyes.
“Who… am I?”
Mo Qianchou looked around blankly.
Hearing this, Zhang Buran was even more puzzled; Mo Qianchou had lost her memory again?
“Mo Qianchou, follow my orders, quickly use that move!”
Jin Zidou anxiously pinched his fingers, sending some kind of information into Mo Qianchou’s mind.
Mo Qianchou received the information and began to suffer from severe headaches.
After a moment, when she opened her eyes, there was a hint of killing intent and sharpness in them!
“Devouring Python!”
Under the shocked gazes of Zhang Buran and Bei Miaomiao, Mo Qianchou’s hands moved back and forth, actually making the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art’s ultimate move, “Devouring Python”!
Not only that, the “Devouring Python” gradually took shape, and the giant green python head had already opened its bloody maw!
Bei Miaomiao was even more terrified!
You see, Spirit Snake Manipulation Art is a bloodline-based magic; only those with the Bei bloodline have a chance of learning it.
Even if Mo Qianchou inherited Bei Mingjie’s Serpent Seal after his death, without the Bei bloodline, she would absolutely not be able to inherit the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.
But Mo Qianchou, why can she now use the ultimate move of the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art?
Bei Miaomiao was momentarily stunned.
In these few seconds, the giant python beside Mo Qianchou had already formed!
A spirit python that can devour everything!
Ready to strike!
“Boom!”
At that moment, a purple thunderbolt flashed.
The purple lightning, carrying the power of destruction, struck directly at the spirit python!
The formed spirit python was unafraid and arrogantly devoured the purple thunderbolt.
At the moment of devouring the purple lightning, the python’s body began to tremble violently, cracks appearing on its body… purple electric arcs burst out, as if about to be torn apart by the purple lightning!
But it was only a moment before the python quickly recovered, having completely devoured a thunderbolt!
This is the terror of the Devouring Python!
It can devour any magical attack using magical power as a medium!
Zhang Buran frowned. Although this thunderbolt didn’t use its full power, the fact that it could be devoured by the Devouring Python meant that the strength of this attack was at least on par with Bei Miaomiao’s!
Bei Miaomiao came to her senses; she actually felt palpitations from this attack… and a sense of strange familiarity!
Bei Miaomiao’s mind was suddenly flooded with images…
That was when Bei Miaomiao was young, and Bei Mingjie personally taught her the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art.
Now, the magical power used by Mo Qianchou in the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art was surprisingly similar to Bei Mingjie’s?
This was terrifying!
Bei Miaomiao fell into a daze…
“Boom!”
Zhang Buran unleashed another purple thunderbolt; this time he didn’t hold back, using 100% of his power!
The spirit python was struck and instantly shattered…
Mo Qianchou was also affected, spitting out a mouthful of black blood and fainting…
“No! This isn’t real…”
Jin Zidou’s pupils were vacant.
His last trump card was so easily defeated by Zhang Buran…
At this moment, Jin Zidou realized how stupid his idea had been.
He actually ran into the Daoist Alliance to deliver himself…
Could anyone be more foolish than him?
Jin Buhuan was also anxious like ants on a hot pot.
“Brother, let’s retreat…”
However, before Jin Buhuan finished speaking, he was struck in the chest by Qie Man’s poisonous palm!
“Pfft!”
Jin Buhuan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew several meters.
After landing, Jin Buhuan felt his internal organs gradually numb, his consciousness fading, and he fainted.
Qie Man smiled.
He had finally contributed!
Merit +1!
Jin Zidou was truly at his wit’s end, and he wanted to escape.
But as soon as he turned, Zhang Buran was already in front of him.
Jin Zidou panicked for a moment, wanting to beg for mercy, but Zhang Buran grabbed his throat.
“What is your connection with Mo Qianchou? Why can she use the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art? And… what is that thing in her head?”
Zhang Buran’s brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes full of anger.
Jin Zidou felt that Zhang Buran might kill him the next moment!
Zhang Buran was truly startled.
The magical power contained in the Spirit Snake Manipulation Art displayed by Mo Qianchou just now, Zhang Buran would never forget it in his lifetime…
It was extremely similar to Bei Mingjie’s magical power!
Xia Yun was also stunned.
