Chapter 197 Lost the sesame seeds and the watermelon too.
Seeing Gao Huohuo get hit, the demonic cultivator who struck her shouted excitedly:
"Everyone, let's attack together! She's already injured. Let's finish her off now, and the magic crystal will be ours!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining twelve Nascent Soul cultivators pounced on the battle like hungry wolves.
In an instant, eighteen Nascent Soul demonic cultivators surrounded Gao Huohuo completely.
Various magical lights intertwined and roared towards her.
Gao Huohuo pretended to be outmatched and hid in the tight encirclement.
She moved with agility, like a willow catkin in the wind, skillfully dodging one sharp attack after another.
Every seemingly perilous dodge conceals a hidden secret.
In the brief moments between evasions, her eyes shone brightly, precisely locking onto her target.
Then, with lightning speed, they affixed the puppet talisman to those Nascent Soul demon cultivators.
One, two, three... Gao Huohuo's actions of pasting talismans were completed in one go, as if flowing smoothly.
As the attack continued, the demonic cultivators within the encirclement grew increasingly agitated.
She's just a mere Golden Core cultivator, so how come they couldn't catch her even with eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators?
The attacks grew increasingly frenzied, yet they couldn't harm Gao Huohuo in the slightest.
Once eight puppet talismans were pasted on, a resolute glint flashed in Gao Huohuo's eyes.
Suddenly, she exerted her strength, her figure moving like a ghost as she lunged forward, delivering a heavy punch to the demonic cultivator in front of her.
The punch was so powerful that the demonic cultivator had no time to dodge and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Huohuo quickly retreated and landed steadily to the side.
Before long, the eight Nascent Soul demon cultivators who had been affixed with puppet talismans showed expressions of horror and disbelief on their faces.
Because they realized that they were originally going to catch Gao Huohuo, but were now walking towards their companions behind them.
They struggled desperately, trying to control their bodies.
But he found that it was all in vain, and his body was no longer under his control.
With the defection of eight demonic cultivators controlled by puppet talismans, the battle instantly descended into chaos.
Those Nascent Soul demonic cultivators who were originally so aggressive, shouting that they wanted to capture Gao Huohuo alive.
At this moment, however, they were in a state of chaos and confusion, and could only deal with the attacks from their "friendly forces".
Before long, the remaining ten Nascent Soul demon cultivators realized that it was their own eight who had gone wrong.
They quickly reached an agreement and turned their attention to eliminating the eight manipulated companions.
In an instant, magical light crisscrossed, and the shouts of battle made the surrounding air tremble slightly.
Gao Huohuo watched coldly as one of the puppet demon cultivators gradually lost ground and was about to be defeated.
With a thought, she instantly controlled it to shoot straight into the center of the enemy formation like an arrow.
Immediately afterwards, he unleashed his spiritual power without hesitation.
With a deafening roar, the explosion was as powerful as a small nuclear bomb being ignited.
A bright light flashed, followed by a surge of air.
A puppet demonic cultivator self-destructed, taking the lives of three enemy Nascent Soul demonic cultivators in one fell swoop.
In the blink of an eye, the number of Nascent Soul demon cultivators on the field was reduced to fourteen, making it exactly seven against seven.
Outside the battlefield, the cultivators were still immersed in the shock of the self-destruction.
They all marveled at the immense power of the self-destruction; even the demonic cultivator's storage bag was reduced to nothing in the explosion.
Gao Huohuo, however, seemed to sense something and glanced subtly into the empty space beside him.
A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a mysterious smile, but he remained silent.
"Gao Huohuo, you're really something, ordering me, the dignified Lord Ziying, to do such petty theft. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Oh dear, Lady Ziying, please don't say that."
Look, even during the crucial moment of the battle between those eighteen Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, you were able to come and go freely.
Stealing the storage bag and escaping unscathed—such skill truly befits someone possessing the potential of a semi-divine artifact!
After being showered with praise, Zi Ying was indeed full of energy and worked even harder.
Only the cold light rested quietly on Gao Huohuo's hair bun.
As if scoffing at all of this, it let out a cold, soft snort.
The battle on the field became increasingly fierce, with neither side gaining a clear advantage.
Some Nascent Soul demon cultivators gradually began to have the idea of retreating. They knew in their hearts that they would not gain anything by continuing to fight like this.
But leaving empty-handed was not an option; he had to get his hands on the other person's storage bag no matter what.
Just then, a Nascent Soul demon cultivator seized the opportunity and finally managed to kill a puppet cultivator.
Overjoyed, he rushed forward and reached out to grab the other person's storage bag.
But when his hand touched the storage bag, he found it was completely empty.
Not only that, but when he subconsciously reached for his waist...
He froze instantly; his own storage bag had vanished without his noticing.
"Huh? Who stole my storage bag?"
This terrified cry was like a thunderclap, instantly waking all the remaining cultivators on the field.
They all stopped what they were doing and frantically checked their storage bags.
They were stunned when they investigated.
After fighting for ages, I didn't get a single magic crystal, and ended up losing all my storage bag?
The next moment, everyone seemed to wake from a dream, and the panic on their faces instantly turned into raging anger.
They all turned their heads in unison, glaring angrily at Gao Huohuo.
A Nascent Soul demon cultivator, with bulging veins on his forehead and teeth grinding together.
He took a sudden step forward and roared fiercely:
"Witch, did you steal our storage bags?"
Gao Huohuo, however, seemed not to hear anything, standing gracefully to the side with a leisurely and contented expression.
Upon hearing the question, she first tilted her head slightly and let out a clear laugh.
Then, his gaze swept defiantly over the crowd, a smug smile playing on his lips, and he said disdainfully:
"What? A group of Nascent Soul cultivators working together can't even defeat a Golden Core cultivator like me?"
Now you're resorting to shameless tactics and slandering me?
The other demonic cultivator trembled with rage, his hands clenched into fists.
His knuckles turned white from the force, his eyes were filled with resentment and anger, yet he was helpless.
He could only stubbornly retort: "Besides you, who else could dare to make a move under our noses?"
You must have taken this storage bag!
Gao Huohuo showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he took a step forward.
He deliberately leaned closer, tilted his head, and said provocatively with a mocking look in his eyes:
"Since you're so sure, then why don't you come and search us yourself if you dare!"
See if you can find the so-called stolen storage bag on me.
What, are you afraid, or unable to come?
After saying that, Gao Huohuo ordered the remaining six demonic cultivators to get moving.
Seeing that the situation on the field was under the control of Lord Huo, Hao naturally walked over to the remaining eight Golden Core cultivators on the opposite side.
With an expression that seemed perfectly natural, he gestured for them to hand over all their valuables.
At this point, who would dare to resist? They all hurriedly handed over their belongings.
However, one of the Golden Core cultivators secretly sent a message out when the others weren't paying attention.
Hao noticed his subtle movements and was about to expose him.
Then he received a telepathic message from Gao Huohuo: "Don't worry about him, just put the storage bag away first."
