Evil Immortal!

Chapter 142 Lying through your teeth!

"What?! You killed Hu Sanniang?!"

Yu Jiaozi's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly, and he became somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Part of it was a facade, but part of it was his true inner feeling.

He had been mentally prepared for Hu Sanniang's death, but he never expected it to be the work of this young man.

He could naturally tell that Meng Yuan's cultivation level was definitely not that of a Golden Core cultivator, so it was rather strange that he was able to kill Hu San Niang under these circumstances...

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Meng would do this?"

Yu Jiaozi stared at Meng Yuan, his expression not very good, and his tone carried a hint of questioning.

"It's nothing. Hu Sanniang killed someone she shouldn't have, so naturally I have to deal with this trouble."

Meng Yuan, of course, did not reveal the real reason. It concerned the news of his wife Dan Cheng becoming a first-rank official, and he was unwilling to divulge even the slightest bit of it.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yulian's smile deepened.

Yu Jiaozi's lips twitched. He hadn't expected the other party to speak so directly and rudely, which made him feel impatient and annoyed.

Since he became the disciple of the Poison Dragon Venerable, no one has ever dared to speak to him like that.

Yu Jiaozi's face was somewhat gloomy, and he suppressed the anger in his heart as he said, "Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. Hu Sanniang still has something of mine that I entrusted to her, and I hope you can return it to me."

"Oh, what is it?"

Meng Yuan and Hua Yulian exchanged a glance, already knowing what Yu Jiaozi meant. They looked at each other and had a tacit understanding, knowing what the other was thinking.

However, since the two were already considered Daoist partners, they naturally wouldn't grant each other's wishes.

"That's a Lightning Tribulation Vine!"

Yu Jiaozi stared at Meng Yuan with an air of self-righteousness and said, "This item was originally a gift from my master, Venerable Poison Dragon. I intended to refine it into a magic weapon, but I entrusted it to Hu Sanniang. Now that Hu Sanniang has been killed by Fellow Daoist Meng, shouldn't this item now be in your hands?"

These words seemed to be a question of doubt, but Yu Jiaozi's tone and expression were full of certainty, clearly indicating that he had already confirmed that the Thunder Tribulation Vine had fallen into Meng Yuan's hands.

"Oh, was it a gift from your master, Venerable Poison Dragon? But let's not even talk about the fact that we didn't actually obtain this thing. As far as I know, this Thunder Tribulation Vine is unique to the Central Continent. Could it be that your master, Venerable Poison Dragon, obtained this from the Central Continent?"

Hua Yulian couldn't help but sneer.

No one knew the origin of this Thunder Tribulation Vine better than her; in fact, she had been eyeing it for a long time. Now, she had traveled tens of thousands of miles to Yunzhou precisely for this thing.

Fortunately, with Meng Yuan's help, they finally got their hands on the item. But the Jade Dragon in front of them actually lied through his teeth, claiming that the item was a gift from his master. This was truly... utterly shameless!

If it were someone else, they might have been wary of the Poison Dragon Venerable's reputation and could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence to avoid offending him.

But she's someone of great importance, so how could she possibly be afraid of something like this?

"Shut up! What right do you have to question my master? You mere Purple Mansion cultivator, how dare you!"

Yu Jiaozi's expression quickly turned cold. He snorted and looked at Meng Yuan, his tone unfriendly: "If you know what's good for you, I advise you two to hand over the item as soon as possible, otherwise... this place isn't far from the Poison Dragon Cave, and I can't guarantee what might happen!"

"You really think we're fools..."

"He can make up reasons so casually; he must be a bit dim-witted."

"7

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea what this Thunder Tribulation Vine you're talking about is. As for your claim that the Poison Dragon Cave isn't far from here, hehe... if you're not afraid of death, then hurry up and make your move."

"You...how dare you!"

Yu Jiaozi's face was grim, his gaze icy: "Don't think you can act with impunity just because you killed Hu Sanniang! What is Hu Sanniang?! Just a mere fifth-grade Core Formation cultivator! My Cloud-Spraying Beast, on the other hand, is a fourth-grade Core Formation cultivator. Believe me or not, I'll leave both of you here!"

"I really didn't want to kill anyone..."

'

Meng Yuan sighed softly, but the next moment, he raised his hand and released a purple sword light!

The sword light shone brightly, filled with pure and domineering sword intent.

It stretched out a beam of light several dozen feet long, resembling a rainbow in the air, and crushed towards Yu Jiaozi with overwhelming force!

Yu Jiaozi's expression changed slightly. He sensed that the sword light was like a great sun descending, scorching and sharp, carrying an unstoppable and terrifying momentum and pressure that made him feel suffocated and immensely oppressed!

Without hesitation, he unleashed his supernatural power. The white robe on his body shone brightly and immediately transformed into a set of silver-white scale armor, which firmly covered his entire body!

The scales were indeed genuine scales, covered in silvery-white, finger-sized scales that shone with a bright, silvery light, radiating a dazzling brilliance and overflowing with spiritual energy. There was even a faint sense of pressure emanating from them, and it was unknown what material they were made of.

But anyone with a discerning eye can immediately recognize that this set of scale armor is clearly a top-grade magic artifact!

Moreover, it's a rare defensive magical artifact!

In contrast, Meng Yuan's Purple Cloud Sword Pill was only a high-grade magic weapon, its rank being close to that of a top-grade magic weapon.

Even when wielded by Meng Yuan's swordsmanship, its power is comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon, but it can only be said to be on par with a top-grade magic weapon.

Yu Jiaozi was also well aware of the situation, and with a cold smile, he also took out a long sword.

Although he is a cultivator of the immortal path, he possesses a portion of the dragon bloodline, and his physique has been cultivated through arduous training. To say that he has a body of steel and iron would be an understatement; his physical strength is comparable to that of other body cultivators of the same level.

Therefore, this longsword is a top-grade weapon, comparable to a top-grade magic weapon.

His cultivation in the immortal path may be just average, but if we add his physical strength to it, the two will combine, and after he has accumulated enough over time, he might have a chance to achieve a high-grade pill when he breaks through to the Golden Core stage!

This is Yu Jiaozi's trump card!

He possesses top-grade magical armor for defense and top-grade weapons for attack, making him well-rounded in both offense and defense.

Even if Meng Yuan might have cultivated some powerful supernatural abilities, he was not afraid at all. After all, they were both Purple Mansion cultivators, and at the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion realm. Even if there was a difference, it wouldn't be that much.

However, upon seeing this, Meng Yuan merely sneered. With a thought, the dazzling sword light suddenly transformed into a tiny, imperceptible strand of sword thread, even finer than a hair.

This wisp of sword thread was incredibly sharp. With just a slight movement, the top-grade magic artifact scales on Yu Jiaozi's body were pierced through without even causing any resistance.
