Everyone was stunned.
Who would have thought?
Just a second ago, the Grand Leader, Gordon was fierce and confident that they would be able to defeat Bei Xuan Faction! Now, he was subdued to the point where he could not even lift a finger!
“Could… Could this be a Spiritual Item?”
Yue Changkong’s eyes widened in both surprise and covetousness!
Spiritual Items were scarce amongst the ancient factions. Many of the ancient factions did not even have a single Spiritual Item. That was how rare it was. Other than that, Spiritual Item had a different grade as well. Considering that the golden rope could be used to bind an elite with Celestial cultivation, it was definitely a top-tier Spiritual Item! Even the White Dragon Box and Water Shattering Dagger were lower tier than it.
This kind of Spiritual Item was even harder to come by. Even Mount Hua Faction did not have such a thing. It was really no wonder that Yue Changkong would want it.
“Let me see if I can undo it.”
Su Dongruo was no fool. He ran up ahead in a hurry, eyes filled with unashamed greed, with every intention to slip it into his pocket when he unraveled it.
“What the hell do you know? Let me see it!”
Yue Changkong ran over to join him. He had never liked Su Dongruo and had no desire to let the fool take his Deity Binding Rope away!
“Yue Changkong! Don’t be crazy!” Su Dongruo criticized, “I’m 30 years older than you! In terms of seniority, I am your senior! I have eaten more salt than you have rice! If I don’t know how to do it then how would you? Tsk!”
“You old bastard! So! Now, you are planning to go against me, right?!”
Yue Changkong was now unhappy with the old man. Now with the added conflict of interest, he was ready to go all out on him.
Everyone from Bei Xuan Faction, who had been watching the drama unfold, rejoiced at this.
With only one hour before the break of day, their enemies were on the verge of confronting each other. That was actually perfect!
However, it did not last long.
“Stop fighting, the both of you! Do you still want to defeat Bei Xuan Faction? Do you still want Chen Xiaobei dead? If so, then you can continue your fight after that!” Gordon fumed. “Get this rope off me! If Chen Xiaobei manages to escape then the both of you would be trading a cow for magic beans! Don’t come complaining when it’s too late!”
Both Yue Changkong and Su Dongruo looked at each other. Gordon was right. If Chen Xiaobei escaped, their loss—especially Yue Changkong—would be far greater than this gold rope!
“Alright! Go ahead and take a look at it then!” for the sake of his 5,000 Spiritual Stones, Yue Changkong had to concede.
“Hmph!”
Su Dongruo puffed and bent down to examine the rope.
But after looking at it for a long time, he still could not figure out where the knot was, which meant that he also did not know where to start unraveling.
Desperate, he could only try to grab onto the ropes and pried them apart with both hands.
“Ngrhhhh!”
Su Dongruo had employed all of his strength. Desperately clawing at the rope, expecting it to break under his tugging.
But no matter how hard he pulled, the Deity Binding Rope did not budge. Breaking it was but a daydream.
“My goodness! What the hell is this rope made of? It’s so tough!”
“Elder Su is an elite with Celestial cultivation! He is equipped with 70,000 combat power which is equivalent to 28,000 pounds of force! Even with power so terrifying, he could not pull it away! How inconceivable!”
“I cannot believe that Bei Xuan Faction actually has such a magnificent Spiritual Item! It seems like they have quite a number of it! The resources that they had with them is too much for us to handle!”
“If that’s so, if we conquer Bei Xuan Faction, we’ll be rich!”
They were all thrilled at that thought and started to exclaim excitedly.
“Are you sure you can do it?” Having heard the conversation of his people, Yue Changkong asked impatiently. “You look like you’re constipated squatting there! Let me do it!”
“You… You are the one who is constipated! All of your family is constipated!”
Su Dongruo was furious.
Swoosh!
Su Dongruo was so angry that he covered his right palm with flaming red True Kang and formed it into a True Kang dagger. He then chopped at the rope.
“What the hell! Are you trying to kill me?”
Gordon’s lips paled.
Without the protective True Kang, this 70,000 combat powered knife was enough to split his body into two!
Shinng!
The sound of metal could be heard from it. Su Dongruo’s True Kang dagger had failed to put a dent to the rope.
“How… How could this be… My Flame Slash is powerful enough to cut a tank into half! I can’t believe that I can’t damage this rope! The tier of this Spiritual Item is really high!”
Su Dongruo stared in disbelief. He could not wrap his head around this rope. ”
“How… How is that a good thing?” Gordon started to panic. “Faction Leader Yue, why don’t you give it a try?”
“Me?” Yue Changkong took a step back and shook his head. “I don’t think I want to…”
His cultivation was only that much higher than Su Dongruo’s. He knew very well that the rope could not be broken. So why humiliate himself?
Both Yue Changkong and Su Dongruo kept quiet. They had nothing to say.
The funny thing was, the both of them had been so eager to unravel the rope, and now, they were both withdrawn, afraid to even make a peep.
Both Jiang Ziya and Zhao Ritian were grinning from ear to ear. It was like watching monkeys fight over a banana. While this Deity Binding Rope was merely a replica, the material it was made of was high tier Spiritual Material. As a matter of fact, it was forged by Heavenly Lord Smith Xingjun’s very own hands.
Anyone beneath the demigod would not be able to break it!
No matter how much strength Yue Changkong and Su Dongruo exerted, they were only but two circus clowns!
But, deep inside, Zhao Ritian was secretly perturbed, in fact he was extremely troubled! While the Deity Binding Rope was in fact very strong, it also consumed a lot of energy! After the last time, when he had used it to overpower the ninja, it had already used up 1,000 Spiritual Stones.
This time, it also used up 1,000 Spiritual Stones.
Combine that with another 500 he had used to transform himself.
Now there are only 7,500 Spiritual Stones left in his Treasure Gathering Bowl.
This was by no means good news! The Prime of Tongtian as well as the other deities were watching him. Even if Sheng Gongpao wanted to send him Spiritual Stones, it would not be an easy process!
If he ever exhausted the Spiritual Qi, he would be in deep trouble.
Of course, while this was a headache for him, Zhao Ritian would definitely not be stingy. That was because he understood very clearly that if they are not able to hold up until Chen Xiaobei had awaken, it would be the end for them! No matter how many Spiritual Stones he managed to preserve, it would be useless! Because then he would not be alive to use them!
“Don’t worry!” Gordon suddenly spoke, “You Chinese have a saying, ‘whoever hangs the bell on the tiger’s neck must untie it’! Go catch that kid who tied me up! He will be able to release me!”
After he had spoken, the remaining three elites with Celestial cultivation fixed their eyes on Zhao Ritian.
“F*ck…” swore Zhao Ritian as sweat trickled down his neck.
