I Just Won’t Play by the Book - Chapter 379

379 What a Playful Flower…(2)
The black-robed man dodged to the side and waved his left hand. Countless poisonous insects flew toward Meng Sipei.

“Phoenix Descends to the Nine Heavens!”

Seeing the poisonous insects attacking, Meng Sipei didn’t dodge. She flapped her flaming wings, and the violent phoenix flames burned all the poisonous insects.
” Not bad. Although his brain isn’t very good, he’s still quite good at fighting.’

On the ground, Jiang Beiran had already used his Mentality to detect that the person’s cultivation base was at the ninth level of the Mystic Emperor Realm, while Meng Sipei’s cultivation base was at the eighth level. Although there was only a difference of one level, the difference between the ninth and eighth level was the most difficult to estimate.

!!
For example, some cultivators had been stuck at the ninth level of the Mystic Emperor realm for decades or even centuries. The strength of these ninth level Mystic Emperors far exceeded those who had just entered the ninth level of the Mystic Emperor realm.

As for Tier 8 ones, that was even less of a problem.

Seeing that Meng Sipei was able to hold her own, Jiang Beiran no longer bothered about her.

‘Since I was able to lure the guardian here, it means that the first step was correct. This solution is indeed correct.’

“Open the armor! The vernal equinox is 396, the grain is 639, with ugly as the point, with you as the branch, urgent as the law!”

As he chanted, a Ruyi stick that Jiang Beiran had prepared earlier burst out with a purple light, transforming into an umbrella.

Jiang Beiran opened the umbrella with a loud ” pop “. When he covered his head with the umbrella, everything he had before had undergone a drastic change. There was no longer miasma, no longer mountains, no longer flowing water, only dots and lines.

“So it’s the Jade Maiden guarding the door. She’s indeed an expert…He had actually hidden it so deeply, but that was it.”

He took out a copper coin from his pocket and flicked it at a star not far away.

“No!”

In midair, the black-robed man, who was trembling with Meng Sipei, roared. He was about to fly toward the copper coin when Meng Sipei stopped him.

Finally, the copper coin landed on the star. Under the gaze of the black-robed man and Meng Sipei, the copper coin began to spin at a high speed. In the end, it turned into a black wind cave and began to suck in the surrounding miasma.

“shit!”

The black-robed man cursed angrily. The expression on his face was not only anger, but also fear.

Putting away the umbrella and keeping the stick stick in his arms, Jiang Beiran was just about to leave when he saw the wind cave that was sucking in miasma suddenly disappear, and the surroundings returned to its original state.

“How is this possible?!”

Could it be that there is more than one formation eye?

This was the only possibility that Jiang Beiran could think of. If the formation had two formation cores, the moment one of them was destroyed, the other formation core would automatically activate and continue to maintain the operation of the formation.

‘The Dual Array Core Formation is really a joke…’

If they weren’t enemies, Jiang Beiran would have wanted to have a good chat with the person who had set up the formation. He was simply too talented.

However, just as Jiang Beiran was sighing with emotion, he sensed another figure flying towards them. It was also a Ninth Level Mystic Emperor.

At the same time, two options popped up before Jiang Beiran’s eyes.

[Option 1: Help Meng Sipei defeat two enemies. [Completion Reward: White Dragon Tyrant Book (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 2: Send a secret voice transmission to Meng Si: “Another powerful one has arrived. This king will take a step first. You think of a way to escape yourself.”.[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

After choosing option two, Jiang Beiran sent a voice transmission to Meng Sipei, who was still in midair,””Another powerful one has arrived. This king will take a step first. You think of a way to escape yourself.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Constitution +1]

“Ah?”

Meng Sipei looked down and found that the masked expert had left, leaving her struggling to hold on.

“This is too much!”

Meng Sipei felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. Usually, it was others who sacrificed themselves to buy time for her to retreat. No one had ever used her as a shield!

However, Meng Sipei also knew that now was not the time to complain. She could not hold on for much longer with just one black-robed man. If there was another one as powerful, she would definitely die here.

So she immediately took out a bronze mirror from her bosom and shone it into the distance.

The black-robed man didn’t care what the copper mirror was. He raised the snake sword and stabbed it again.

“Puff!”

The sword pierced through the air, and the woman with wings instantly disappeared in front of him.

“What happened?” The black-robed man was stunned. He had no idea how she had escaped.

At this moment, another white-robed man flew over from afar. He landed beside the black-robed man and asked,”What happened?”

“Cult Master’s array… It was broken.”

” What?!” The white-robed man shouted in shock,” How can there be someone in the Sheng Kingdom who can break the Cult Master’s array?”

“I don’t know either…” The black-robed man couldn’t help but scratch his hair and spit.”Who exactly is that bastard?”

The white-robed man sighed and patted the black-robed man’s shoulder.””Since the formation core here has been lost, we can only defend the other place with all our strength.”

“Okay, let’s go!” The black-robed man took the lead and flew southwest.

Meng Sipei, who was covered in leaves and pine cones, jumped down from a pine tree in the distance.

Patting her shirt, Meng Sipei pouted and said,””What…You ran away after using me, you’re too much!”

“Hey, don’t make it sound so ugly. Who said this king ran away?”

Meng Sipei jumped up in fright when she heard the voice behind her.

“You, you, you…How did you know I was here?” Meng Sipei pointed at the masked man and asked.

“This king naturally has this king’s way. But that treasure of yours isn’t bad, can you lend it to this king to take a look?”

“No…” Meng Sipei hid the mirror behind her.

“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Beiran began to think about his next step.

Seeing that the masked man had given up, Meng Sipei blinked and asked,””Senior, aren’t you going to fight for it?”

“Fight for what?” Jiang Beiran raised his head and asked.

“We can discuss the conditions…If the conditions are right, it’s not like I can’t show it to you.”

“If this king really wanted to watch, I could just kill you and take that treasure. Why go through so much trouble?”

“..”

For a moment, Meng Sipei felt that what he said made sense. She was speechless.

Although Meng Sipei had never seen the masked man display any cultivation, she had long thought that his cultivation was far superior to hers.

As for why he ran away just now, it was probably because the person who came later was his acquaintance, afraid of being discovered.

Once again, Meng Sipei felt that she was extremely quick-witted. She let out a long breath and handed the bronze mirror behind her to the masked man, saying,”I was just joking with you just now. If you want to see it, just take it.”

“This king is not interested now.”

“..”

Meng Sipei, who felt a sense of loss, held the bronze mirror and said,””This bronze mirror is called the Mirror Flower Moon. It can allow me to instantly appear at the place reflected in the mirror.”

“Good stuff.”

Jiang Beiran sighed in admiration. He had seen many life-saving weapons, but in terms of simplicity and effectiveness, this Ethereal Mirage was definitely one of them. It could run as far as it could shine, but if it shone on the moon, wouldn’t it be able to soar into the sky?
