Chapter 740: Reciprocation Is Important. Eat Spear!
“‘Cast Beans Into Soldiers’? A Taoist Magia…”
White Crane Taoist chuckled and shook his sleeves a little. Seventy two little strawmen immediately flew out of his sleeves and rapidly grew to the size of a human. Each strawman was covered in yellow talismans and wielding a large saber. They also carried banners on their back and looked mighty impressive.
Mountain Tunneling King explained when he saw this, “That is White Crane Taoist’s trump card, the Seventy Two Grasshead Gods. Derived from Mount Maoshan’s Seventy Two Earth Fiend Gods, they are created using Evil Repelling Straws and talismans. They are impervious to most weapons and natural elements and are as strong as Spirit Masters.”
As he spoke, the thirty six golden-armored soldiers clashed against the seventy two Grasshead Gods. Strong they might be, the golden-armored soldiers were both outmatched and outnumbered. It wasn’t long before the seventy two Grasshead Gods slew the soldiers and turned them back into soybeans.
It wasn’t without a considerable cost, however. A good number of the seventy two Grasshead Gods were damaged beyond repair in the fight, and White Crane Taoist’s heart positively ached at the loss.
White Crane Taoist wasted no time in resuming his flight, and this time, he met no opposition whatsoever. He quickly reached the Magia Tree.
“It looks like White Crane Taoist is about to succeed,” Mountain Tunneling King said enviously. Once White Crane Taoist reached the tree trunk, the Magia Tree would attack him no longer and allow him to pluck any one Magia Fruit.
However, Ye Qing said something unexpected, “No, he’s about to die.”
“What? What do you mean?” Mountain Tunneling King was confused as a matter of course. Before Ye Qing could answer him, he noticed White Crane Taoist suddenly freezing when he was just one step away from the tree trunk. Then, his complexion rapidly turned bluish black, and the cackling face of a ghost overlapped with his own face.
