Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 496 - 398: Rebellious Spirit!

"Are you giving up?"

Zhao Yi was stunned when he heard the protagonist’s words.

In his impression, this was the first time the protagonist had ever backed down in his presence.

The protagonist used to be like a loyal dog towards Zhao Yi, always competitive in everything related to him.

Now, surprisingly, he withdrew voluntarily and handed over the good stuff to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi immediately became suspicious.

He looked at the protagonist, warily saying, "You’re not up to something, are you?"

Hearing this, the protagonist’s mouth twitched, and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

If it weren’t for the Nine Dragon Seal, even using the Law of Buddha Light wouldn’t necessarily suppress Zhao Yi.

The protagonist would surely have to show Zhao Yi what power really meant!

"Stop with the nonsense!"

The protagonist said with a dark face, "Are you going to make a move or not? If not, then I’m leaving!"

This time, the protagonist came to the Pegasus Grassland with Zhao Yi to slay gods.

His Buddha Light Path couldn’t be used, and he was stranded at the mercy of great mages in the Magic World, let alone facing a dozen Sages.

Therefore, the protagonist planned to seize a Law.

This way, when traversing the Magic World, he wouldn’t have to worry about being schemed against.

Even in the Spirit Realm, the strength of a Sage Level would be enough to protect him.

Unless he was schemed against and trapped in a Teleportation Array again.

Otherwise, even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape!

The protagonist’s ace for slaying gods was the Buddha Light Path.

But using the Buddha Light Path would be detected by the Nether Tree.

So, the protagonist only had one chance.

He had to utilize the Buddha Light Path for a deadly blow against a Magic God in the Magic World.

And without the support of the Buddha Light Path, the protagonist couldn’t possibly be a match for the Golden Peacock.

Rather than be humiliated here, it was better to go to the Mount of the Gods to deal with serious matters.

Zhao Yi vaguely guessed the protagonist’s thoughts.

He nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to the Golden Peacock.

"Did you hear our conversation?"

Although Zhao Yi admired the Golden Peacock’s strength, he didn’t want to invest too much energy in it.

The world had changed.

The arrival of the Nether Tree would surely alter the structure of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

The future battlefield would belong to Sage Level cultivators.

The Golden Peacock was indeed powerful, but if it didn’t reach the Sage Level, it would still be cannon fodder.

The Golden Peacock was much more cautious now.

It warily glanced at the Nine Dragon Seal in Zhao Yi’s hand.

That thing had just flicked its head away.

Although it might have been a sneak attack.

But even if it happened again,

the Golden Peacock wasn’t confident about breaking through its defenses.

After hesitating for a moment, the Golden Peacock suddenly asked Zhao Yi, "What benefits do I get if I follow you?"

Zhao Yi said, "One of our goals in coming to the Pegasus Grassland is to slay gods!"

Slay gods?

The Golden Peacock’s pupils shrank fiercely, and its small eyes trembled as if it had seen a ghost.

"Did you say you’re here to slay gods?" the Golden Peacock asked uncertainly.

It initially thought the protagonist and Zhao Yi were like other mages coming to the Pegasus Grassland. They would head to the Mount of the Gods to pay respects to the gods.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yi claimed to be here to slay gods.

The Golden Peacock shuddered, eyes full of disbelief.

"Are you crazy?"

The Golden Peacock lowered its voice, sweeping its gaze around in fear.

"This is the Mount of the Gods, where all gods reside, and you say you’re here to slay gods?"

The Golden Peacock shook its head repeatedly, "You’re all mad! If you want to die, go on your own. I’m not going with you to court death!"

Zhao Yi was nonchalant, casually saying, "If you follow me, after I slay the gods, I can give you a Rule Fragment. You do know what that is, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Peacock trembled all over.

It swallowed hard, looking up at Zhao Yi, eyes full of struggle.

Clearly, it knew what a Rule Fragment was.

And Zhao Yi’s offer hit the most secretive soft spot in its heart. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It just needed a reason to be convinced.

A reason strong enough to overshadow its fear of the Magic Gods on the Mount of the Gods.

Zhao Yi understood its implications and added, "If you don’t come with us, I’ll kill you now!"

These words made the Golden Peacock breathe a long sigh of relief.

Though it felt a bit like overkill, Zhao Yi’s ultimatum was the final straw that tipped the scale in the Golden Peacock’s heart.

"I am willing to acknowledge you as my master!"

Taking a deep breath, the Golden Peacock bowed its head to Zhao Yi, pledging allegiance, "Master, I am willing to give everything for you, but please don’t forget your promise."

"Of course!"

Zhao Yi said with a relaxed smile, "You’ve made a wise decision, and your kind will be honored because of you!"

At this time, the protagonist walked over from afar.

Seeing Zhao Yi easily subdue the Golden Peacock left him feeling a bit frustrated.

Had he known the Golden Peacock was so eager for a Rule Fragment, he could have promised one as well at the time.

Though he hadn’t met the Magic Gods on the Mount of the Gods, the protagonist had dealt with the Undead Magic God and the Sage of Time many times.

The combat power of Magic Gods in the Magic World was undoubtedly formidable.

But their limitations were significant.

Like the Undead Magic God and the Sage of Time, his most powerful capability was wielding a large number of undead creatures.

If there were no undead creatures available nearby, the combat strength of the Undead Magic God would be reduced by more than seventy percent.

As for the curses and soul strikes of the Undead Magic God, they were nearly ineffective against same-tiered Sage-level cultivators.

The protagonist extrapolated from the Undead Magic God to the other Magic Gods.

Those Magic Gods might have different techniques than the Undead Magic God, but they shouldn’t be too far off.

So, the protagonist didn’t regard those Magic Gods as a threat.

The protagonist’s simultaneous use of the Buddha Light Path and physical strength made it easy to kill the physically weak Undead Magic Gods.

This also demonstrated that the cultivation system of the Cultivation World was indeed superior to that of the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

Because the cultivation system of the Cultivation World had no weaknesses, with most practitioners cultivating both physical bodies and divine souls, along with Laws, simultaneously.

This meant cultivators of the Cultivation World had no weaknesses.

They were all hexagonal warriors, excelling in all aspects!

Thinking of this, the protagonist glanced at Zhao Yi, eyes full of reluctance and vigilance.

"That guy’s insight is as sharp as ever!"

Golden Peacock lived beneath the Mount of the Gods in the Pegasus Grassland, the closest place to the Magic Gods.

As a result, in such an environment, the Golden Peacock’s mentality might polarize.

Either it had extreme reverence for the Magic Gods, viewing them as deities.

Or it resented being subordinate and wanted to replace them.

Zhao Yi keenly perceived it was the latter.

Golden Peacock was a rebellious character.

Although always under the gods’ noses, it had no sincerity towards the gods.

Therefore, Zhao Yi directly dangled the bait of the Law Fragment.

The Golden Peacock indeed took the bait!

The protagonist sighed, watching Zhao Yi switch mounts and stand on the back of the Golden Peacock, his face full of helplessness and dejection.

Failed again.

The protagonist had lost count of how many times he’d been defeated by Zhao Yi.

Failing more might just make it a habit...
