BXBX NOVEL Chapter 159 - 159 Are you kidding me?_i
It seemed that Yun Fuxue saw that Li Cheng was genuinely only curious and did not intend to go further, which left her slightly disappointed, “Master Li’s Primordial Spirit is so strong that it’s rarely seen in this world; it’s truly a pity that you do not practice the Confucianism Path.”
“Hehe, there’s no pity, Li Cheng’s accomplishments in the Pill Artifact Array are extremely astonishing, and his combat power is unrivaled. There’s no need to pursue other paths,” Feng Wanli said with a laugh.
Li Cheng cultivated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, and both his Primordial Spirit and physical body far surpassed other cultivators at the same realm, not to mention the strength of his Immortal Yuan.
Moreover, during moments of Enlightenment, Unity of Heaven and Man was achieved, and his Primordial Spirit made leaps and bounds in progress.
This was the reason Yun Fuxue referred to as rarely seen in this world.
Li Cheng felt that when he was free, he might as well study the methods of utilizing the Primordial Spirit more.
As he pondered, Li Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring intently at
the sparse woods ahead.
“Did you discover something?” Feng Wanli asked worriedly, approaching Li
Cheng.
It was safer to be near Li Cheng, who was more powerful.
Everyone looked at Li Cheng with puzzlement, and following his gaze, they all looked at an ancient tree about twenty feet tall.
But there was nothing there.
“Senior, please show yourself!” Li Cheng suddenly spoke up.
Qin Wuhun raised his eyebrows, silently on guard.
With their Immortal Sense, they had not detected anything unusual, but they knew Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense was powerful and had no doubt at all.
Beside that not-so-tall ancient tree, a sturdy middle-aged man slowly became visible!
The man’s skin was earth-yellow, and a heavy Earth Attribute Power enveloped his body, as if he could merge with the ground itself.
Strangely, there were two small horns about an inch long on the man’s forehead, resembling miniature dragon horns.
His arms were crossed in front of his chest, and his muscles, resembling dragons, bulged, containing explosive power, as he spoke indifferently, Leave now, and I will not take issue with you for harming my subordinates.”
His voice was too calm to discern any underlying emotion.
Li Cheng remained calm, “Senior cannot stop us.
Hmm?
The man raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flickering across his indifferent face, “Quite bold! But aren’t you overestimating yourself?”
-We have no intention of being enemies with the senior; we just want to go to Misty City to look for an item lost more than a hundred thousand years ago,” Qin Wuhun said with a clasped-hand salute.
The man remained unmoved, staring at Qin Wuhun indifferently, “Confucian immortal, you are thinking too much. There’s no way I will let you enter Misty City!”
“Why?” Qin Wuhun frowned.
The Four-sided Lamp Fire Map was a treasure of the Confucianism Path. Knowing that it might be here, how could they not search for it?
-You’re not qualified to know. Just retreat obediently. I’ve been very polite. Do not force me to take action!” The man’s expression was still indifferent.
“What do we do?” Qin Wuhun looked helplessly at Li Cheng.
He could tell that Li Cheng was not the least bit anxious, and he must surely have a plan to deal with the mysterious man.
Li Cheng had been sizing up the man and suddenly said, “Senior, are you a dragon of the Dragon Clan that has taken human form? An Earth Dragon?” “junior has always held great respect for the Dragon Clan, but, I am more curious to test the power of the Dragon Clan!”
Li Cheng could not figure out the man’s true form, but the dragon horns on his forehead could not be fake; probably a result of an incomplete transformation.
It was unclear whether the man’s bloodline was pure.
If it was pure, then he could be a true Divine Dragon.
And for a Divine Dragon, people from his place seemed to have an innate respect for them, and of course, curiosity.
The man scoffed, “What Dragon Clan, not Dragon Clan? Fine, you want to test my power? Then take one punch from me, how about that?” Li Cheng pondered, “How about this: the senior takes one punch from me instead? Without using the rules of the Fist Path.”
The man’s eyes flickered with surprise, “You have Fist Path rules? Just the cultivation of a peak Heavenly Immortal, you’re not kidding me?” Li Cheng smiled, “Then let’s use the Fist Path rules, Senior. Dare you accept?” The corner of the man’s mouth curved, breaking his consistent indifference, and he said with a light smile, “Come, strike with all your might. If I can’t handle it, I shall naturally let you pass!”
With that, the man stepped forward, appearing a few yards away from Li Cheng in an eerily fast movement.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows subtly; under such heavy gravity, he could move this fast?
It’s comparable to a small teleport!
The man’s cultivation was indeed unfathomable, and the reason Li Cheng boldly claimed he couldn’t stop everyone was that Li Cheng could use the Immortal Spirit Step here!
As long as he gathered everyone into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, he himself could easily perform the Immortal Spirit Step and bypass the man’s blockade.
But in a real fight, Li Cheng wasn’t confident.
Yet, the man had already taken his position, signaling Li Cheng to strike.
Li Cheng nodded, clenched his fists, and ten thousand Fist Path rules entwined around his right fist as he threw a fully powered punch!
Bang!
A deep thud resonated, and Li Cheng was sent flying backward, stepping back repeatedly and creating a spider-web of cracks on the ground!
And the man, he didn’t move an inch!
-Hehe, a bit disappointing for someone who talks big,” the man said with a chuckle, casually flicking his coarse garment and slowly shifting his gaze to Li Cheng, “Now, isn’t it my turn to throw a punch? Don’t worry, I won’t use the Fist Path rules.”
-No way!” Yun Fuxue stepped forward, bowing, “Please forgive us, Senior. We will leave at once!”
Her heart was full of doubts. Two months ago, why did they reach Misty City without any obstructions?
And now, why does this mysterious powerful being obstruct them?
It was impossible that the mysterious being hadn’t noticed her going to Misty City two months ago!
With his cultivation level, he must have known!
-Don’t leave just yet; it’s been so hard to get here, how can we just retreat like this?”
The repelled Li Cheng stepped forward again, speaking with a smile.
All eyes turned to Li Cheng; with his strong abilities, he had still been repelled, so how could he still be so confident?
This state of mind isn’t bad, is he planning to keep fighting despite repeated failures?
The mysterious powerful being’s face also bore a smile, “Have you thought it over? Ready to take my punch?”
“Senior, I definitely won’t be able to take your punch, but if you would give me one month’s time, I will surely be able to!” Li Cheng stated, his eyes brimming with confidence.
The man’s smile grew wider, “Young lad, judging by your bone age, you haven’t been cultivating for long, which means you’re quite talented!”
“But I really don’t believe that you can improve enough to take my punch in just one month’s time?”
■Even though 1 know you’re trying to provoke me, I still agree. 1’11 give you one month!”
As he spoke, the man turned to leave.
Li Cheng quickly called out, “Senior, when I said one month, 1 meant one month inside Misty City!”
What?
Everyone stared at Li Cheng again, astonished. They’re already being denied passage, and he wants to spend a month in the city?
But, to their surprise, the man nodded indifferently, “If you can enter, my subordinates will surely not stop you.”
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; he dared to propose a month’s time because of what he discovered when he struck earlier!
That punch might have been deflected by the man without causing him even the slightest harm, but Li Cheng had made an astonishing discovery!
