Chapter 1097: Does He Have An Aversion Toward Living Or Something?
The Red Powder was nigh invincible except for one major flaw: it was water averse. It would never go into a body of water unless they had no other choice. Naturally, the hunted duo plunged head first into the pond as soon as they stumbled upon it. That was when they discovered that it was not what it seemed.
After that, they always hid in the pond if they were hunted by a Nine Nethers Demon they couldn’t handle. In fact, they even exploited its unique ability to invert size and power to hunt down the hunters instead.
They would have pulled the same trick to elude the ghost bride, but at the time, they were way, way too far away from the pond. As a result, they ran out of energy and were trapped long before they managed to make it back. Otherwise, there was a not insignificant chance that they could have eluded the ghost bride’s pursuit without any external intervention.
Of course, the duo had carefully inspected every inch of this pond considering how special it was. Alas, they found nothing.
“Say, do you think this pond’s power will work on a Sage?” Ye Qing asked suddenly.
“Naturally.” Yi Pin nodded before realizing the nature of Ye Qing’s question and watched him warily. “What are you planning?”
“Tell me, brother: what are the chances we could lure the two Sages into this pond and use its unique characteristic to kill them?” Ye Qing asked while rubbing his chin.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Yi Pin’s eyes bulged like saucers as he coughed uncontrollably.
Uncertain Monk was watching Ye Qing with a disbelieving look as well. Such was his shock that the Buddhist beads in his hand were cracked a little.
