BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72 - 72 Am I Tired of Living? 1
As Li Cheng and the others vanished from sight, Shentu Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement, “Elder Li is indeed courageous and highly skilled!”
“I just hope they’ll be alright, after all, we’ll need to consult Elder Li on the Alchemy Dao in the future.” said a Loose Immortal from the Pill Sect.
Shentu Feng shook his head, “Venturing into the tiger’s den, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be.”
“If they end up being executed by the Artifact Sect, are we really going to take action?” another Loose Immortal asked.
A trace of a smile appeared on Shentu Feng’s face, but he remained silent.
Inside the mountain, Li Cheng looked at the more than ten entrances to the secret lands and said with a smile, “Your Artifact Sect really is wealthy!”
Secret lands are naturally representative of wealth.
“Haha, Elder Li must be joking. Just one batch of pills refined by you could probably buy several secret lands!” Zhuo Bu’er laughed heartily.
Old Bai took over the conversation, “Secret lands are the secrets of a sect, is Sect Master Zhuo really letting us in?”
Zhuo Bu’er shrugged, “What can be done? Our Artifact Sect has never been the type to break our word. In order to fulfill a promise, revealing a secret to the three of you doesn’t really count for much, after all, reputation is the most important thing!”
Li Cheng chuckled, huh, this guy’s words are really pleasant to hear!
But did Li Cheng not know what he was trying to do?
It was clear who was leading whom.
“Please!”
Zhuo Bu’er made a welcoming gesture and entered the Number One Secret Land first.
Li Cheng, unfazed, swiftly followed.
Before their eyes, the scene transformed into a landscape of great beauty, with majestic mountains and flowing water.
One after another, people entered. Li Cheng noticed that apart from Zhuo Bu’er, all the Artifact Sect members who entered were Loose Immortals, a total of twenty.
With an unconcerned smile, Li Cheng released his Spiritual Sense and found that this secret land had a radius of five thousand miles, filled with countless exotic flowers and plants, likely used by the Artifact Sect to cultivate Spirit Medicine.
In the center of the secret land, in a valley, a Formation was set up that prevented the probing of Spiritual Sense.
However, Li Cheng could sense a strong Immortal Power Fluctuation emanating from the Formation, undoubtedly from an Immortal!
‘The intensity of that fluctuation is not much different from Feng Wanli’s; it’s clearly an early-stage Heavenly Immortal!’ Li Cheng thought to himself.
A Heavenly Immortal of such a level could be effortlessly crushed by the Black and White Elders, whichever of them made a move!
After all, a Tribulation Loose Immortal is not just for show.
Of course, he could easily crush one himself!
Seeing that the trio’s gaze was focused on the central area, Zhuo Bu’er said with a smile, “I suppose all three of you have sensed it. Yes, the Astonished God Tripod is right there, follow me!”
Zhuo Bu’er took the lead and flew forward, with everyone following closely behind.
Upon reaching the valley, Zhuo Bu’er laughed and said, “Actually, the Green-faced Elder lied to you!”
“What Elf Tribe? We’ve never heard of it, but the Astonished God Tripod is indeed here. Do you still want to take it?” Zhuo Bu’er’s tone became playful.
From within the Formation, an angry roar emerged, “Dammit! Didn’t I say, don’t disturb me? What happened to your ears?”
Whoosh!
Before the sound faded, a sturdy middle-aged man had already appeared before everyone, glaring at them furiously!
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
Zhuo Bu’er and the others hastily bowed in respect.
The middle-aged man’s sharp gaze swept over the crowd, eventually settling on Li Cheng and the other two, “Why don’t you three bow to me?”
Li Cheng replied with an indifferent expression, “We three are from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”
The middle-aged man’s eyebrows raised, “So what? I am a Complete Heavenly Immortal; as juniors, you should bow to me!”
“Remember this, my name is Lu Sanqian, a Complete Heavenly Immortal! Bow quickly!” the middle-aged man shouted again, his voice booming like thunder.
“Lu Sanqian? 1’11 remember that. So, can my master’s Astonished God Tripod be returned now?” Li Cheng casually said.
Lu Sanqian scoffed, eying Li Cheng with amusement, “Wuya’s disciple? An Astonished God Tripod? You must be sick in the head.”
Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, “A high and mighty Heavenly Immortal, and yet so shameless? If you don’t know about the Astonished God Tripod, then how did you know my master is Wuya? I never mentioned my master’s name.”
Lu Sanqian was momentarily startled, then said teasingly, “Did 1 borrow it from you? Besides, why should I return something 1 obtained through my own skills?”
That teasing look caused Li Cheng’s brows to furrow, “What did you do to my master?”
The words of Lu Sanqian gave Li Cheng a bad feeling, was he so certain that his master wouldn’t return?
Then, it must be that Lu Sanqian had done something to his master!
Thinking this, anger surged in Li Cheng’s heart.
“I might as well tell you, I fed Wuya fake information about the Ascend to Immortal Platform. That place, heh, is a nine deaths and one life situation!”
“It’s probably been thirty years now, right? He hasn’t come back, so he’s definitely dead inside, heh heh!”
Lu Sanqian began to laugh triumphantly.
With Wuya dead, of course, he would keep the Astonished God Tripod for himself, how could he possibly return it to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?
“Heh heh, old man has already said what needed to be said. Kid, hearing this news, you should realize you’re as good as dead!”
After letting out such critical information, Lu Sanqian naturally could not let Li Cheng and the others leave alive, otherwise if this matter got out, it would damage his reputation!
Anger blazed in Li Cheng’s eyes, his aura surging around him, “Luring my master with false information? Lu Sanqian, are you tired of living?”
“Steady your mind. Senior Brother Wuya’s Jade Slip is intact, which indicates he’s alright,” Old Bai conveyed telepathically.
Li Cheng, of course, knew his master wasn’t dead, otherwise he would have already struck!
Lu Sanqian’s face was full of contempt, “Tired of living, me? A mere Complete Tribulation Crossing, speaking so boldly. Didn’t I tell you, I am a Complete Heavenly Immortal?”
“Complete my ass!”
Li Cheng suddenly struck, his fist rocketing towards Lu Sanqian’s face, the punch seemed to cross through space itself. Although they were more than ten meters apart, the space seemed to fold before Li Cheng’s fist, blasting onto Lu Sanqian’s nose.
Lu Sanqian’s nose was crushed flat, and blood streamed down, but he seemed not to feel the pain, staring at Li Cheng in disbelief, “How is this possible?”
He hadn’t moved from his spot, so how could that punch have landed so solidly?
Moreover, he was only at the Complete Tribulation Crossing Stage, so how could he have flattened his nose?
Logically, he should have been unharmed!
Li Cheng didn’t give him a chance to ponder, stepping forward and throwing another punch at Lu Sanqian.
This time, Lu Sanqian quickly steadied his mind, the Immortal Yuan surged, and he raised his right hand to block Li Cheng’s fist.
Bang!
With the punch striking, Lu Sanqian felt as if he had been struck by an Immortal Hammer, his hand bones shattering instantly, and the punch continued on, slamming into his chest!
His chest caved in, and Lu Sanqian flew backward.
This scene unfolded too quickly, the members of the Artifact Sect were just getting their bearings when they saw Lu Sanqian had already been defeated, turning pale with shock!
Lu Sanqian was even more horrified; even after using Immortal Yuan, he had been easily broken by Li Cheng?
Furthermore, he could feel that Li Cheng’s strength consisted of seven parts Immortal Yuan and three parts True Yuan!
Could such strength really defeat a Complete Heavenly Immortal so easily?
No, there also seemed to be the rules of the Fist Path intertwined!
“That’s it, and you still dare to call yourself a Complete Heavenly Immortal? If you’re just at the early stage, then say so. Did you think by calling it complete I would be afraid?”
Li Cheng spoke calmly, stepping forward with no urgency.
After two punches, Li Cheng had already gauged the difference in strength between Lu Sanqian and himself and was not at all flustered.
Lu Sanqian steadied himself, the Immortal Yuan circulating as he rapidly healed his injuries, his face a mix of anger and shock, he shouted, “I am a Complete Heavenly Immortal. I refuse to believe that someone who has not yet become an Immortal can defeat me?”
“Just like Feng Wanli, shameless!” Li Cheng muttered to himself, clenching his fists tightly and fully activating the rules of the Fist Path..
