Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant - Chapter 256 - 257: 51 Leaving Some Leeway in Everything_i

In Wang Ba’s eyes, the square-faced Incense-burning Dao Cultivator who was yelling at him did not feel much stronger than Master Gao from the past.

Of course, Wang Ba dared not underestimate him.

There were countless ways for cultivators to conceal their aura and there were many who pretended to be weak while actually being strong.

Who knew if this square-faced Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, who seemed a little slow, fell into such category?

Of course, he was not referring to Zhao Feng, and certainly not referring to himself.

In any case, he might hold some wicked spells or vicious Magic Tools which could potentially turn the tide unexpectedly.

So, Wang Ba still focused and dealt with him carefully.

However, after a short contact, he immediately sensed that this man was probably not pretending.

He was genuinely a little slow.

Even though Wang Ba had already activated Talismans to defend against Soul Attacks, the man still replaced five human-faced Yin Ghosts, surrounding Wang Ba.

The five invisible Yin Ghosts were gnawing at the Talisman’s light around Wang Ba, while this square-faced Incense-burning Dao Cultivator just stood by and watched, seemingly extremely confident in his Yin Ghosts.

Seeing this, Wang Ba rather chose not to be anxious about freeing himself.

Using his peripheral vision, he quickly assessed the surrounding situation.

Zhu Ziji had begun to fight with Li Canghai. The light of the Magic Tools was flying freely and several spells collided again and again.

What surprised Wang Ba was that Zhu Ziji was actually suppressing Li Canghai. He was aggressive!

Li Canghai was being pushed into a corner.

Of course, Li Canghai was after all dealing with the Class III spells and Class III Magic Tools. Although he was slightly at a disadvantage momentarily, it was unlikely for Zhu Ziji to defeat him quickly.

And the situation between other Incense-burning Dao Cultivators and the Tianmen Cult cultivators was also difficult to predict.

If Wang Ba and the others wanted to successfully eliminate Li Canghai’s group, either Zhu Ziji must win and then assist the other Tianmen Cult cultivators, or the Tianmen Cult cultivators around could achieve major victory through minor ones, and then gang up on Li Canghai together.

The former option seemed unlikely for now.

So, they could only hope for the other Tianmen Cult cultivators.

Thinking of this, Wang Ba glanced at his opponent and was preparing to strike. He wanted to solve his human problem first and then help the others.

However, when he glanced at one of the Tianmen Cult Foundation Establishment competitors, he couldn’t help but pause.

He then took a closer look.

Finally, he couldn’t help but curse quietly:

“These old foxes!”

With his sharp eyes, he didn’t notice at first. But with closer examination, he found that among the ten Tianmen Cult Foundation Establishment cultivators that had arrived this time, several were not putting in their full effort.

Though they were at the top of the combat power list and were almost all middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were on par with some of the early-stage Incense-burning Dao Cultivators.

What these people had in mind was clear to Wang Ba at a single thought.

They were holding back.

Commonly known as ‘playing it safe’.

If the overall situation was good, they would burst out immediately and defeat their opponents quickly.

If things went bad, they would abandon their opponents and flee.

They would not bet until the situation was crystal clear.

They were focusing on saving their own lives first.

For this kind of thinking, Wang Ba was largely supportive for most situations.

But there was just one problem. If the difference between the two sides was not big, then the results produced by full effort and having different intentions could be completely different.

Maybe if these people worked together, they could win this battle.

On the other hand, if everyone wanted to save their life, they might face a complete defeat.

Those opportunistic people could indeed escape at the first opportunity, while those who were on the front lines often ended up as sacrifices.

But eventually, the war would reach them too.

Perhaps at that time, they will recall today’s hesitations?

Wang Ba was slightly torn in his heart, and soon made up his mind.

He was retreating undetectably while fighting towards a direction further away from the cultivators.

Soon, there were casualties among those Qi Refining stage cultivators who followed him.

“Senior! Save me!”

From afar came Hua Meng’s cry for help.

Wang Ba quickly looked over and saw Hua Meng being trapped by two Class I Incense-burning Dao Cultivators. He was caught off guard, and the light on his body flickered unstably, looking like it was about to collapse!

“Do you think you might be able to save him? Hehe, being entangled by my Yin Ghost, you should focus on saving your own life!”

The square-faced cultivator on the opposite side suddenly spoke, his tone full of arrogance.

Without uttering a word, Wang Ba suddenly flicked his finger.

Two Iris Invisible Needles suddenly flew out from his sleeve and pierced towards the square-faced cultivator.

“Little tricks!”

With the mental strength of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment, noticing the Iris Invisible Needles was not difficult, especially since the square-faced cultivator pursued the God-refining Dao. His Soul and Spiritual Sense strength were much stronger than ordinary cultivators, naturally, he could easily detect Wang Ba’s action.

He also immediately responded by forcibly changing the trajectory of the Iris Invisible Needles with his Soul, causing it to fly past him.

The square-faced cultivator then revealed a smug smile:

“Hehe, pointless struggles!”

But immediately, his smile froze on his face.

He turned to look back.

He saw that two Iris Invisible Needles had pierced through the eyebrows of the two junior Incense-burning Dao Cultivators who were attacking a Tianmen Cult cultivator in the distance!

Only Hua Meng was left standing in original place, looking both blank and relieved.

“You’re gonna pay for this!”

The square-faced cultivator was furious!

The words he said were immediately refuted by the other party with an actual event, he felt like he was being slapped back and forth across the face..
