Silence.
Everyone looked at the spot the black-robed man used to be. No one spoke for a long time.
How could a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, who was the best of their best, die just like this…
Daji and Fire Phoenix were perplexed as well because forget about instant kill, they knew their power — without the help of the Double Flying Stone — was much less than the black-robed man. However, Li Nianfan easily did that with the spells that were stored in the Double Flying Stone.
Was it because the power of the spells depend on the will of the caster? So the attack power dramatically increased this time?
However, they quickly shift their mentality. ‘Why are we surprised? Shouldn’t we be used to our master’s power by now?’ thought Daji and Fire Phoenix. They have both the intellectual and emotional knowledge.
All the people in the Empath Sect’s jaws dropped in shock. The scene of the instant kill kept playing on repeat in their mind. They were unable to find the words to express their awe.
When did the Double Flying Stone gain the skill to increase the power of the spells?
Only those from the Heavenly Realm have the means to be able to easily take out a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, whose power was at the peak of the world, right?
As for Tian Yu, who was on the verge of completely shattering, the act of dropping his jaw caused it to completely detach from his face and fell on the ground. It was a good thing his eyes did not pop out too.
Every little movement could completely shatter his body. The wind was already blowing off the dusted bits off him and he was slowly becoming less and less.
‘So that was how they were able to beat me! They had the help of the expert. The TV was probably given by the expert. It’s not fair! They obviously had the upper hand.
‘Wait a minute… the expert was probably the reason why I couldn’t consume Luck and was quickly losing it. Oh no! I was tricked’ thought Tian Yun.
Before he completely disappeared, he still held some mixed feelings and regrets but it could also be said he was completely content to be able to watch how the final scene all played out.
“So powerful,” he said and was gone.
Li Nianfan was shocked too. “I thought the black-robed man was a powerful character but he couldn’t even handle one attack from Fire Phoenix.”
He had originally planned it all out — if his first attack was cancelled out, he would continue to activate another spell. If the second attack was not enough, then a third spell would be activated. If that still was not enough, then he would leave it to Daji and Fire Phoenix.
At that moment, he felt somewhat let down by it all as if the game was over before it had even begun.
‘Not a powerful character?’ thought the rest of the Empath Sect group. They felt sorry for the black-robe man but since the expert already deemed him so, then let it be so.
“You’re absolutely right. A small fry, indeed,” they echoed his sentiment.
Fire Phoenix pressed her lips together. ‘This has nothing to do with. He might be able to handle the attack if I was the one who cast it. I think the crux of the matter is, not many people in the world would be able to handle one attack from you.’
Qin Zhongshan made sure everyone was safe and sound before expressing his gratitude towards the expert. He returned back the TV with both hands.
“I must commend you all for the efficiency. I never expected the TV to be returned back to me so soon.” Li Nian was aware of all that had happened. “So the black-robed waited for everyone to be on their last dying breath before trying to steal the TV. Well, I guess it’s not surprising he had to bide his time since he’s so weak.”
Qin Zhongshan nodded, naturally echoing his sentiment. “You’re right. He’s nothing but a lowly thief.”
“Yeah! I could have easily taken him out if I was at the peak of my power,” added Big Elder, trying to make his presence known.
It was at this moment Qin Chuyue and Qin Yu learnt the life lesson that it was more important to ingratiate yourself to the most powerful person in the room than to stay true to yourself.
“By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask — does the Double Flying Stone have a limit?” asked Li Nianfan.
“Ye…” Qin Zhongshan was about to elaborate more but had a change of mind. The normal laws of the universe did not apply to the expert — the usual limit might not apply to him. He did not want to risk incurring the wrath should there be any misunderstanding.
“No?” he quickly said.
Li Nianfan frowned involuntarily. ‘Why the question mark in the end?’ he wondered.
“Elder Qin, I’ve asked Fire Phoenix and Little Daji to store as many spells inside the Double Flying Stone as they could. My guess is there’s about a hundred spells inside by now and we’re still unsure about the limit. Hence my question,” said Li Nianfan to Qin Zhongshan.
‘A hundred? And there’s still no limit?’ thought Qin Zhongshan. His mind buzzed with incredulity. He must have heard it wrongly.
It was a general knowledge the Double Flying Stone’s storage limit was only three spells.
The ability to store the spells for one’s lover to use was against all natural laws of the universe. In most circumstances, it was more precious than Treasures. After all, it was a weapon that could save one’s lover’s life.
This also meant with each activation of the spell, the caster would suffer a backlash, how could the stone not have a limit?
Obviously, this rule did not apply to Li Nianfan.
Still, a hundred spells was a bit too much and with no limit in sight! The Double Flying Stone’s limit had been pushed by the expert. What made it even more incredulous was that the expert was able to store both Fire Phoenix and Daji’s spells.
Qin Zhongshan could not wrap his head around all this new information hence the sudden backtracking of his answer. He gave himself a pat on the back for his quick wittedness. He did not dare to imagine what would have happened if he told the expert the truth. He never felt so close to death.
“Actually…” Qin Zhongshan cleared his throat before continuing. “I’m not sure if there’s a limit. No one has ever reached the limit. That’s why I hesitated before.”
Li Nianfan nodded. “I see. It’s truly a marvelous treasure! With this Double Flying Stone, I have one more way of protecting lives. I’m going to ask Fire Phoenix and Little Daji to store more powerful spells.”
Li Nianfan had a good understanding of both Fire Phoenix and Little Daji’s spells. With the Double Flying Stone on hand, their attacks would become his attacks. Plus with the Spiritual Treasure and rebound of Deluxe Merit Saint…
There was only one word to describe him now — Invincible!
This was the first time he had ever felt satisfied ever since his transmigration.
Compared to playing the defense, it was of course more exciting to play the offense. Just like how Li Nianfan defeated the black-robed man with his own skills — only those who were in it would understand.
Was this how the strong feels?
As for the rest of the group, they were smart enough to keep their mouths closed. They were in the agreement the attack was not in the category of defense but cast with an intent to kill.
They looked at the smiling Li Nianfan with mixed feelings. Was this what counted as fun for the powerful people? Like how they could just level up their own settings to become invincible?
They could not help but envy him for his legendary powers.
“Was that the Ministry? How unscrupulous of them,” said Li Nianfan.
On his arrival in Xia Dynasty, he had heard about the Ministry from the Empath Sect and White Cloud Sect and their penchant for being pervasive and unscrupulous. He did not expect to have run into them so soon.
“Yes, we’ve only received the news that the Ministry likes to keep their activities hidden and would only capture the low-level humans and demons. But now they’re starting to target the higher-level monks and strange demons. They’re probably keeping a big secret from the rest of the world,” said Qin Zhongshan.
The Ministry had become more and more active and many people in powerful positions had started to come up with theories as to what their ultimate motive was.
What would be the final result of consuming and combining Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal and demons? What if they were to consume many at a time?
If their experiments were to be successful, it would probably create a creature that would turn the world upside down.
“It would be prudent to take precautions against an evil organization like that,” said Li Nianfan while nodding his head. Then, as if he had an epiphany, he continued on. “Little Daji, Little Fox is still a demon king. Why don’t we go visit her now since we’re still on our honeymoon?”
The corner of his lips curved up at the thought of the adorable Little Fox being a Demon King. He was worried the Ministry would target Little Fox since she was a demon after all. Besides, it would not be weird to drop in and visit one’s sister-in-law.
However, his main reason for his visit was because it had been such a long time since he had stroked that clean and white fur of hers. Not to mention how much he missed those fluffy nine tails.
