Chapter 402 -284 Not Good, Let’s Run Away
At that moment, Zhao Sheng suggested, “Let’s enter the cave and capture the turtle in the jar, shall we?”
Huang Sha Taoist chuckled, fetched a thick, husky ginseng from his sleeve that faintly showed the shape of limbs and a face, and boasted a crown of nine big crimson seeds, resembling a crimson crown.
As soon as the ginseng appeared, a unique, strong fragrance pervaded the air, and a pale red spirit light emanated from the seeds.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes and asked gravely, “The Nine Seed Ginseng King, matured for three thousand years—it’s a primary ingredient for the Nascent Soul Pill. I didn’t expect you, Huang Sha, to possess such a heavy treasure.”
“Hehe, although the He Mountain Sect was founded just two thousand years ago, we always have several treasures hidden away,” replied Huang Sha Taoist with a wave of his hand and a chuckle.
Having said this, he swiftly moved to a concavity halfway up the mountain.
...
Next, Huang Sha Taoist swept his fingertip across the surface of the ginseng, scoring a shallow mark from which a droplet of condensed azure liquid immediately seeped out.
In that instant, the strange medicinal fragrance significantly intensified.
“This way we can make sure it is wholly foolproof!” After doing all this, a flicker of satisfaction crossed Huang Sha Taoist’s eyes.
He waved his hand, throwing the Nine Seed Ginseng King, which immediately burrowed into the ground and vanished.
However, Huang Sha Taoist did not show any sign of haste.
Observing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Sheng’s eyes.
“The Ginseng King won’t escape; I have sealed its spiritual essence using a secret technique,” Huang Sha Taoist explained to them at that moment.
Moments later, the three of them concealed their breaths and forms, lying in wait near the concavity in silence.
Meanwhile, the medicinal fragrance emitted by the Ginseng King spread in all directions.
About a quarter of an hour later, a shadow flickered at the entrance of the cave assumedly.
Suddenly, a sleek, brown eagle head poked out from the cave mouth, its crystal-clear, emerald eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
The beast was only about eight or nine feet tall, with not a single feather on its body—its skin smooth and translucent like glass, reflecting sparkling radiance, and its flesh wings covered with cloud-like patterns, with countless tiny whirlwinds flaring in and out around its body.
At that moment, a two-foot-long, massive wound was visible on its abdomen, already pus-filled and rotting, with layers of eerie black light on its surface preventing it from healing.
Seeing this from twenty li away, the three immediately stimulated their secret techniques to conceal their auras and dared not make a sound.
The Quenching Sky Eagle, after ensuring there was nothing unusual nearby, flashed out of the cave in a blur, moving so fast it was virtually impossible to see its form, seeming to move instantaneously.
More impressively, as the Quenching Sky Eagle sped at a velocity far exceeding the speed of sound, it made not even a whisper of sound, moving as silently as a ghost.
Zhao Sheng’s eyes suddenly brightened, his pupils bursting with sharp light, as he saw the Quenching Sky Eagle flying rapidly toward the mountaintop.
In just under two breaths, twenty li passed in a flash, a gleam of light and the Quenching Sky Eagle abruptly stopped above the buried Ginseng King.
Greedy, the eagle sniffed briefly, its eyes revealing a mix of greed and hesitation, then its vigilant eagle eyes scanned the surroundings before suddenly shooting out two piercing green beams, like dazzling light pillars.
Shriek!
A cry of the eagle followed, and the radiance on the Quenching Sky Eagle’s body flashed, then it disappeared suddenly.
The next moment, it reappeared a hundred zhang away.
Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes, inwardly shocked.
At that moment, Huang Sha Taoist’s voice transmission arose beside his ear, “Taoist, do not attack! This is just a probe.”
After a little while, seemingly having detected nothing unusual,
the radiance on the Quenching Sky Eagle flashed again, and it suddenly returned to its original position. Its eagle head abruptly lifted, and the cloud-patterns on its wings silently fell off, transforming into rings of cloud-white light waves, expanding at an unimaginably fast pace, instantaneously enveloping the entire mountaintop.
“Not good”
Zhao Sheng, rich in combat experience, immediately changed his expression and without a second thought, stimulated his True Yuan, raising a pale golden light screen around him, protecting himself securely, while his ears folded down automatically, blocking his ear canals.
Almost at the same moment, a wave of invisible, ultra-high-frequency sonic waves suddenly struck. Zhao Sheng felt a sharp pain in his organs, as they were shattered into countless fine cracks.
The ground of the mountaintop shook uniformly, and within sight, grass and rocks collapsed in an instant, turning into a heap of dust finer than sand,

Zhao Sheng’s dense, condensed Golden Core True Essence, and his Small Success Golden Body with Copper Muscle and Golden Bone, could not withstand this relentless and pervasive invisible force.
This also left him extremely astonished.
On the other side, Huang Sha Taoist and Jian Er were also caught off guard by this sudden attack.
“Pfft, attack!” spat out Huang Sha Taoist suddenly, spraying a mouthful of blood yet furiously shouting.
Under the sudden onslaught, Zhao Sheng had only sustained a minor injury, yet Huang Sha Taoist was much more severely injured.
Before the words could fully escape, countless Sword Qi Drifting Threads appeared in the sky. These “drifting fluffs” like threads scattered in the sky contained an exceptionally sharp Sword Intent, blocking off the entire sky.
The Quenching Sky Eagle flapped its wings, the cloud patterns on its wings flashing wildly before starting to flow, its demonic body once again becoming blurred.
Countless whirlwinds converged, ravaging the air into turmoil, instantly creating a vacuum in the vicinity.
Accompanied by a “zipping” storm-like sound of the Breaking Void, countless blue wind blades shot out from the whirlwinds like a downpour, aiming directly at Zhao Sheng and the others.
Zhao Sheng waved one hand, launching five golden talismans, which transformed into five huge, radiant Spirit Shields, blocking the incoming wind blades.
