Chapter 754: Deadly Peril
"He was waiting for me on purpose!"
From the moment Qin Sang first encountered Cui Ji and began traveling with him, he had remained on guard. Regardless of Cui Ji’s intentions, Qin Sang had resolved never to give him any opening.
With vicious beasts prowling on all sides, it was still uncertain whether they could even escape. That Cui Ji would start an internal conflict at such a time was something Qin Sang had not expected.
What puzzled him even more was how the Bone Lotus had ended up in Cui Ji’s hands.
Xiang Yi was arguably the strongest among the eight cultivators present. Qin Sang knew he was no match for him. Even when facing that subterranean beast, Xiang Yi should not have died and lost his treasure so quickly.
Unless something else had happened!
A flicker of doubt arose in Qin Sang’s heart, followed by a faint sense of unease.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A cascade of purple light surged toward Qin Sang, blotting out his vision.
The radiance unleashed by the Purple Nether Orb could be as soft as silk or as fierce as blades. It had once formed a cage that easily trapped the flying yaksha. Now, it had turned as sharp and forceful as sword qi.
The purple glow flowed like a shimmering ribbon. Qin Sang had no doubt that if it struck him directly, his body would be riddled with holes.
Cui Ji had clearly been preparing this ambush for a long time, while Qin Sang was caught completely off guard.
