Even though Yang Che had always been extremely cautious, careful, and calm, he was still slightly bewildered by the sudden and bizarre scene before him.

He saw Sha Rou very calmly retrieve the ‘Ancient Treasure Armor’ from Sha Jin’s corpse.

At the same time, Yang Che also noticed that Sha Rou’s gaze lingered on this Ancient Treasure Armor for a good while before she directly put it on.

The Ancient Treasure Armor flashed with light, then seemed to merge into Sha Rou’s body, disappearing without a trace.

Just as Sha Rou was about to take Sha Jin’s Storage Pouch, Yang Che’s expression turned cold.

He immediately controlled the Winged Fire Dragonfly to sweep towards Sha Rou.

Although he didn’t know why Sha Rou suddenly attacked Sha Jin, Yang Che had no intention of letting Sha Rou off the hook.

A yellowish-brown Saber Intent, over an inch thick, appeared on Sha Rou’s body.

This Saber Intent almost completely protected Sha Rou.

When the Winged Fire Dragonflies covered the Saber Intent and began to gnaw frantically, Sha Rou unhurriedly took out an Advanced mid-grade Spirit Talisman.

Yang Che’s pupils constricted slightly in surprise.

The Spirit Talisman in Sha Rou’s hand was engraved with strange talismanic patterns he had almost never seen before.

While he was pondering, Sha Rou had already activated the Spirit Talisman.

'Om… Aah…'

'Om… Aah…'

As the Spirit Talisman glowed brightly, continuous strange sounds emanated from it.

Yang Che immediately understood; this was a rare ‘Sound Wave Spirit Talisman’.

As the strange sound waves emitted by this Spirit Talisman, Yang Che was even more surprised to find that the Winged Fire Dragonfly swarm began to rapidly move away from the yellowish-brown Saber Intent.

They seemed extremely repulsed by the strange sound waves.

Yang Che pondered for a moment, then simply put all the Winged Fire Dragonflies into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

He then conjured ‘Sword Four’ and stabbed like lightning towards the yellowish-brown Saber Intent surrounding Sha Rou.

After being refined with dark fire crystal, Sword Four’s blade emitted a dark, eerie glow, with faint flames swirling around it.

With a crisp ‘ding’ sound, Sword Four struck the Saber Intent fiercely.

In just a moment, it pierced through the Saber Intent and then stabbed into Sha Rou’s ample chest.

However, the ‘Ancient Treasure Armor’ she had just put on flashed with a strange light, blocking Sword Four’s thrust.

Sha Rou’s face showed annoyance.

As she retreated swiftly, she controlled her long saber Magic Treasure and slashed at Sword Four.

Sword and saber collided, producing an earth-shattering roar, and Spiritual Qi ripples scattered in all directions, shaking the sand castle as if it were about to collapse.

The two fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds.

Yang Che suddenly unleashed ‘Extinction Sword Intent’, hoping to catch Sha Rou off guard and launch a surprise attack.

However, Sha Rou also unleashed a terrifying ‘Saber Intent’, which directly collided fiercely with the Extinction Sword Intent.

Thus, the two, relying on their Sword Intent and Saber Intent respectively, fought fiercely for nearly a hundred more rounds.

Suddenly, after another offense and defense, Sha Rou abruptly retracted her saber, swept to the edge of the sand castle, and stood still.

Her face clearly showed increasing surprise, as if she had discovered that Yang Che was actually a truly formidable opponent who had been hiding his strength.

Yang Che felt the same way.

Sha Rou was surprisingly balanced in terms of attack, defense, and speed.

And she seemed to have special spirit liquid to replenish her magic power, as if she had no weaknesses at all.

This made Yang Che quickly conclude that Sha Rou must also have no less than three Ancient Treasures on her, as well as Heaven And Earth Treasures that even he coveted a little.

If Sha Jin hadn’t specifically reminded him earlier that Sha Rou had Flying Needles-type Magic Treasures, Yang Che would have already laid down Flying Stealth and set up the Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation here.

Seeing Sha Rou stop, Yang Che looked at her coldly, wondering what she intended.

At this moment, Sha Rou spoke, “Fellow Daoist, even if we fight for another thousand rounds, I’m afraid it will be difficult to determine a winner.”

Yang Che frowned and said coldly, “What do you intend to do?”

“Why don’t we stop here. If you are willing to cooperate with me and pretend to be chasing me later, I am willing to help you leave this ‘Heavenly Sand Burial Formation’. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I haven’t used the power of this Formation at all.”

Sha Rou suddenly revealed her charming demeanor again and smiled sweetly at Yang Che as she spoke.

Yang Che, however, ignored her directly, snorted lightly, and said with some displeasure, “Fellow Daoist Sha certainly plays a good game. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re not using the power of this Formation simply because you’re afraid that Soul Transformation Cultivator will sense what’s happening inside this Formation.”

“Oh, Fellow Daoist, it seems you are also an expert in Formations.”

“Less nonsense. If I do as you say, what benefit will I get?”

Yang Che’s face was stern, looking greatly ‘displeased’, so he directly asked for ‘benefits’.

He was very clear in his heart that Sha Rou’s ‘borrowing a knife to kill’ was probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

However, he was not interested in what conflicts, or even deep-seated hatred, existed between Sha Rou and Sha Jin.

In any case, Sha Jin’s death would definitely be blamed on him.

Even if he went out and shouted now that Sha Rou killed Sha Jin, he would most likely be considered a ‘madman’.

Since that was the case, it would be more practical to ask for more benefits.

Upon hearing Yang Che’s words, Sha Rou couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then she smiled like a flower and said,

“I actually quite like your straightforward personality, Fellow Daoist. Tell me, what do you want? Judging from our previous battle, you certainly don’t lack Magic Treasures, Spirit Stones, and the like. However, I don’t have other exotic treasures or Heaven And Earth Treasures.”

Yang Che’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized that this woman who was good at using her brain was quite difficult to deal with.

So he didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Just give me the Ancient Treasure Armor you’re wearing now, which originally belonged to Sha Jin.”

Upon hearing this, Sha Rou’s expression suddenly hardened, and a chill flashed in her eyes.

“Fellow Daoist, I will never let anyone else obtain this Ancient Treasure Armor. To be honest, this Ancient Treasure Armor originally belonged to my mother. Now, I am merely reclaiming what was rightfully mine.”

Yang Che was slightly surprised, couldn’t help but rub his chin, and after a moment of thought, said, “In that case, it seems Fellow Daoist Sha doesn’t have anything that catches my eye?”

At this moment, Sha Rou suddenly sensed something and looked outside the sand castle, a worried expression appearing in her eyes.

She knew that if she didn’t leave in time, once Grandmaster Tao Hua returned, with the ability of a Soul Transformation Cultivator, her killing of Sha Jin might not be able to be concealed.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Sha Rou said to Yang Che, “Fellow Daoist, if you burn Sha Jin’s corpse and do as I just said, I will give you this once we leave this place.”

With that, she lightly patted her Storage Pouch.

A gray stone tablet suddenly appeared before Yang Che’s eyes.

Yang Che’s heart immediately stirred.

However, he showed no unusual expression on his face.

Instead, he pouted and said, “What is this? Just a broken stone tablet, and you want to send me away with that?”

Sha Rou said, “This is not an ordinary stone tablet. This is…”

Yang Che was about to prick up his ears and listen intently, but he didn’t expect Sha Rou to suddenly stop.

Sha Rou’s face showed a hint of solemnity, and she said in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist, I can guarantee that the value of this stone tablet will definitely exceed your imagination, but you also have to show some sincerity, right?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Sha Jin’s corpse on the ground.

At the same time, she secretly held a sound image jade slip in her hand, and she also moved a bit further away.

Yang Che sneered inwardly, as he had actually already held a very small sound image jade slip in his palm.

He showed a ‘struggling’ expression, as if hesitating for a moment, before casting a fireball to incinerate Sha Jin’s tall corpse.

Sha Rou put the sound image jade slip into her Storage Pouch and directly threw the stone tablet to Yang Che.

“We need to hurry. I’ll tell you the secret of this stone tablet once we’re far from here. Now, listen to me, the Array Eye of this Formation is in…”

Under Sha Rou’s ‘explanation’, Yang Che quickly broke the ‘Heavenly Sand Burial Formation’.

Then, pretending to be desperately chasing Sha Rou, the two flew swiftly away from the area, one in front and one behind, entering several thousands of miles into the depths of the desert.

Yang Che was not worried about Sha Rou reneging on her promise, because he had the sound image jade slip that recorded the scene just now.
