Chapter 128: Dividing Treasures
In an instant, Ye Xiaoyao’s sword formation overwhelmed the two Transformation God cultivators, leaving them unable to fight back.
Three miles away, on a high vantage point, Xu Yuexian switched to a long spear and loaded two Spirit Breaking Type Three bullets into her sniper cannon.
“I’ll use your blood to bless this new gun.”
For ordinary enemies, Xu Yuexian still used her old gun, but she reserved the new one for valuable prey, and now that prey had appeared.
On the battlefield, Ye Xiaoyao began to struggle against the two Transformation God cultivators. Despite his formidable sword formation, it was still a tough fight.
“Your fighting strength is lacking. You can barely suppress these two Transformation God trash cultivators. If your brother were in the Nascent Soul stage, he could probably take them down with just a flick of his hand,” Old Sword commented disdainfully in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
“Don’t distract me from fighting. Why hasn’t Zhang Meimei made a move yet?”
Ye Xiaoyao formed a hand seal and gritted his teeth, shouting, “Sword Force: Azure Dragon Bows to the Heavens!”
The hundreds of spiritual swords in the sword formation formed into an azure dragon and charged towards the two Transformation God cultivators.
In truth, the two Transformation God cultivators hadn’t gone all out; they were secretly probing the other individual who had taken down three Nascent Soul cultivators.
“It’s not time to strike yet. Can’t you see that those two Transformation Gods are holding back? That girl is waiting for the right moment.”
“Since there’s no opportunity, I’ll create one for her.” Ye Xiaoyao clenched his teeth and adjusted the formation.
“Sword Force: Azure Dragon Circles the Pillar!”
The azure dragon in the sword formation swung its tail and circled around the two Transformation God cultivators.
Seeing the menacing azure dragon made of spiritual swords, the two Transformation God cultivators realized that if they didn’t act soon, things would take a turn for the worse.
“Boss, you break through the defense while I hold back the rear and cover our retreat,” one Transformation God cultivator gritted his teeth and said, feeling very reluctant but with no other choice.
“Okay.”
Just as the Transformation God cultivator made his move, Xu Yuexian from afar pulled the trigger.
At the moment the bullet left the barrel, a precious artifact Giant Shield appeared in front of the two cultivators.
Watching this scene, Xu Yuexian smiled and said, “Is that going to help?”
‘Bang!’
A bullet shattered the precious artifact Giant Shield, and the following bullet pierced through the spiritual shield, striking the forehead of the Transformation God cultivator.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyao’s momentum surged; taking down one Transformation God was already challenging; now that one was down, the others would be easier.
The subsequent battle was straightforward. Under Ye Xiaoyao’s assault, Xu Yuexian quickly seized the opportunity and killed the last Transformation God cultivator.
The two swiftly cleared the battlefield and entered a secluded area.
“Let’s divide the treasures. Staying here any longer is pointless; the longer we linger, the more likely trouble will arise,” Xu Yuexian said to Ye Xiaoyao.
“I agree.”
Ye Xiaoyao promptly unloaded all the contents from their space rings, and soon, three small mountains of items appeared in front of them.
“There are over 32 million spirit stones in total; I’ll take half, 16 million,” Ye Xiaoyao said, growing increasingly cautious. The more they divided the treasures, the more likely they were to face betrayal from teammates.
“Alright.”
Xu Yuexian also became cautious. During team treasure division, there was at least a 50% chance of unexpected events occurring, based on her years of experience.
The two of them carefully stashed away their respective shares of spirit stones.
“Let’s split the spirit ore and spiritual herbs fifty-fifty,” Ye Xiaoyao continued.
“Deal.”
“Now, for the beast race’s precious artifacts and the dismantled building materials.”
“I’d like a larger share of the beast race’s precious artifacts,” Ye Xiaoyao said.
“You can have all the beast race’s precious artifacts, and I’ll take the building materials. But I want all the beast race’s techniques,” Xu Yuexian replied after a brief pause.
“Fair enough.”
After dividing everything else, only one thing remained: the exotic treasures discovered in the Sacred Land, which were the most valuable of all.
“Kid, listen to me. Show a few openings. I’ve got a soul-controlling secret technique here, and that girl isn’t great at close combat,” Old Sword whispered in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
“You’re overthinking it. Miss Zhang isn’t that kind of person.”
Though Ye Xiaoyao thought this, his body betrayed him, revealing a few vulnerabilities. This haul was worth over 130 million spirit stones, and if he could snag the remaining 130 million, a little baiting wouldn’t hurt.
Besides, it wasn’t like he planned to kill her.
Xu Yuexian noticed the openings Ye Xiaoyao unintentionally exposed and almost laughed. Did he really think she didn’t know about fishing for justice? As her master would say, that’s just being morally flexible.
“For the remaining exotic treasures, anything we can appraise, we’ll split evenly. For the rest, we’ll count them by the piece.”
“How about we each take one peach?” Ye Xiaoyao suggested with a smile, though the spiritual swords in his sword box were already primed and ready.
“Fine by me.”
Unbeknownst to Ye Xiaoyao, Xu Yuexian’s true form was already two kilometers away, setting up her gun. If Ye Xiaoyao made a move, she’d shoot him in the head.
As the treasures were distributed, the tension in the air grew thicker. Ye Xiaoyao revealed several more significant openings, practically daring her to strike.
Once the treasures were fully divided, both felt a pang of regret, each wishing the other had made a move.
“Miss Zhang, I wonder if we’ll get the chance to team up again,” Ye Xiaoyao said, setting everything else aside. She was, without a doubt, a formidable ally.
“We’ll see what fate has in store.”
“Since we’re done dividing the treasures, I’ll take my leave. The path to immortality is vast; perhaps we’ll meet again,” Xu Yuexian said, turning to leave. She deliberately exposed her back to Ye Xiaoyao, as if giving him one last chance to not be a jerk.
Watching Xu Yuexian walk away, Ye Xiaoyao felt a twinge of guilt.
“Kid, stop staring. That girl’s no pushover. If you’d made a move, you might’ve been in real trouble,” Old Sword muttered in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
“I wasn’t planning to make a move,” Ye Xiaoyao sighed.
“While you were dividing the treasures, her true form had already slipped away to another location,” Old Sword revealed.
“You noticed and didn’t tell me?” Ye Xiaoyao was shocked.
“I didn’t just notice; I felt it. After all, very few at the Nascent Soul stage possess the clone technique,” Old Sword explained.
“Do you have the clone technique, Old Sword?”
“Of course I do, and plenty of them. I just can’t recall them right now.”
“If you want me to recover, get me more source spirit energy. Then I’ll have no trouble using those secret techniques,” Old Sword grumbled in Ye Xiaoyao’s mind.
“That source spirit energy you mentioned is too elusive; I don’t even know where to find it.”
“Our main task now is to deal with what we’ve got and keep working with Brother Wu to refine those precious artifact spiritual swords.”
“If I had 360 fourth-tier precious artifact spiritual swords, I could take down two Transformation Gods with just one hand,” Ye Xiaoyao boasted.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan, drifting aimlessly on the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, received word that Xu Yuexian had emerged safely.
“With her cautious nature and the Illusory Three Realms Body technique, if she’d really been lost, it would’ve meant Heaven didn’t want her to live.”
Hearing that Xu Yuexian was safe, Xu Fan felt a wave of relief.
