Chapter 4231 This Method
You Guyin stopped, but the Entwining Silk Burial technique continued. Everyone except me was entangled by the black silkworm silk. I could only keep dodging and weaving to avoid being entangled by the black silkworm silk.
This can't go on. Before long, we'll all be dead. We have to find a way to stabilize the situation first.
A moment later, I had an idea. While dodging the black silk threads, I said loudly, "Huo Qingfeng, how about we discuss something, or make a deal?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingfeng sneered: "Wu Jie, you still have the nerve to jump around? But it doesn't matter, you won't be able to keep jumping around for long. In your current state, do you think you still have the right to make a deal with me? Either way, you're doomed."
"Huo Qingfeng, I have two more small targets on me. Besides that, I also have the precious Eight-Foot Jade Orb, the Dragon-Tiger Mirror, the Heavenly Gang Seal, the Heavenly Swamp Spear, and some medicinal soup made from the leaves of the Zhaoyao Wood, a spiritual medicine that can regenerate severed limbs. I'm not asking you to let me go. Just release my brothers, and all these things will be yours." I showed off all my treasures, hoping to attract Huo Qingfeng's attention.
Everyone has greed. Huo Qingfeng partnered with Zhou Biao back then to covet Boss Zhou's vast wealth. Now, I have so much money and so many top-notch magical artifacts. Even the medicinal soup made from the leaves of those flamboyant trees is priceless. If I were to sell it, he could definitely ask for an exorbitant price. And I still have quite a few here.
When I said that, Huo Qingfeng laughed again: "Wu Jie, do you think I'm so easy to fool? I've killed you all, and all these things are mine. If I let your friends go, they'll definitely come after me once they've recovered from their injuries. Since I've decided to take action against you, I'll naturally eliminate you completely and leave no future troubles."
"Huo Qingfeng, you're thinking too simply. Putting everything else aside, you can't even open this Eastern Emperor Bell. You can't take a single penny of the treasures and money we have with you. Besides, my money and my magical artifacts are all inside my Dragon-Tiger Mirror. There's a spirit inside the Dragon-Tiger Mirror, and without my command and a special method, you can't open it to get the money and artifacts. You just want money and good things, right? I can give you everything," I said again.
Hearing what I said, Huo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment. He must have thought that what I said made sense.
They must have assumed that I was at my wit's end and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Besides, he could pretend to agree to release the slovenly Taoist priest and the others, and then kill me as long as I hand over the money and magical artifacts.
My idea is that since things have come to this, once I leave the Eastern Emperor Bell, I should activate the power of the Black Demon God and push my strength to its limit. Then I will fight them to the death. If we can kill these three old bastards, we might still have a chance.
Sensing that Huo Qingfeng was still hesitating, I continued, "Huo Qingfeng, this grudge is between the two of us and has nothing to do with them. I was the one who stopped your plan and even led people to the Philippines to hunt you down. If you kill me and release my brothers, everything I have is yours. Think about it carefully."
“Mr. Huo, does he really have two hundred million on him?... Even if he doesn’t have the money, I saw that he has the Eight-Foot Magatama on him. That’s a divine weapon of the Japanese, it must be priceless.” An old man said excitedly.
"You're overthinking it. This kid is incredibly cunning. If we let him out, who knows what kind of mischief he'll get up to?" Huo Qingfeng said with great concern.
“Mr. Huo, all his men are under our control. He’s the only one still standing. What’s there to be afraid of? Release him in a bit. If he doesn’t hand over the money and those magical artifacts, we’ll kill all his brothers one by one first,” another person added.
The two of them tried their best to persuade us, probably because they both wanted a share of the pie, since we did indeed have quite a few good things on us.
Huo Qingfeng then said again, "Gentlemen, this kid is very cunning. Although the Yasakani no Magatama on his body is a good thing, the Japanese's top-level artifact, it is also a menace. Whoever has it will become an enemy of the Japanese, and may not even be able to save their lives."
I must say, Huo Qingfeng is extremely cautious and wary of me.
"Huo Qingfeng, we've already come this far, what are you still hesitating for? I just want my brothers to live. You can kill me, and I'll give you all the stuff and money," I said, feigning anxiety.
“Mr. Huo, he’s like a grasshopper in autumn, he can’t jump around anymore. What’s the point of releasing him? His brothers are all trapped by us, and I can take their lives at any time.” The person who said this must have been the one who used the Silk-Entangling Burial technique.
Huo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment again before saying, "Alright then, let him out first. The two hundred million in cash is yours, and the rest is mine. You don't have any objections, do you?"
"No objection, no objection... We'll do whatever Mr. Huo says..." the two men said in unison.
"Wu Jie, come out here. Take out your bank cards and all your magical artifacts. Get ready. If you hand these over to us, I'll spare the lives of your brothers," Huo Qingfeng said loudly.
"Huo Qingfeng, make the Entangling Silk Burial stop first. I can't open the Eastern Emperor Bell because it's my brother's magic weapon. He's also entangled by the Entangling Silk Burial. Release him first. Only if he helps me open the Eastern Emperor Bell can I get out," I said again.
Huo Qingfeng was naturally suspicious and somewhat hesitant.
At this moment, the old man who used the Ghost Bone Sound said, "Mr. Huo, rest assured, even if we release them, there is nothing to worry about. My Ghost Bone Sound has already severely injured them, and their souls are unstable. Even without the Entangling Silk Burial, they have no power to resist. In addition, you used the magic array to severely injure several of them before, so we can do whatever we want with them."
Therefore, Huo Qingfeng said, "Then let's temporarily suspend the Silk Entangling Burial."
After saying this, the black silkworms inside the Eastern Emperor Bell detached from everyone's bodies and burrowed into the ground.
The black silkworms that had been chasing me around disappeared as well.
I walked over to the unconscious, disheveled Taoist priest, took out the animal bone from my person, and placed it under his nose. After a moment, the stench woke him up, and he coughed a few times.
"Old Wu, what happened?" the disheveled Taoist priest asked weakly.
"Luo Laoliu, open the Eastern Emperor Bell. I'm going out to fight them to the death. This is the only way." I lowered my voice.
