“Garbage evil spirit! All you could do is scare kids! Meeting me today is the end of your luck!”
Holding a talisman in his right hand, Long Aotian moved in to paste it on the forehead of the evil spirit. His movement speed was swift, and the talisman that he held seemed to grant him overflowing confidence.
However, the evil spirit managed to pull two meters back when the leader of the Hundred Beasts faction approached.
“So fast! It is almost as quick as I am!” Long Aotian was stunned, missing his target with the sudden change in distance.
*Whoosh…*
In the blink of an eye, the evil spirit was charged towards Long with its Spirit Claw; its speed and power were definitely comparable to Long Aotian.
“Shit!” His pupils contracted, and fear gripped his entire body without him noticing. Being aloft mid-air, it was difficult for him move and dodge the attack.
*Slaaash!*
Long Aotian was struck by the evil spirit; its force blew him to the ground where a hole formed. There were also three deep slash wounds on his right arm; blood was gushing out as if a geyser. It was fortunate that Long Aotian had ten thousand health – that attack would have split him in three otherwise!
“Master! Are you okay…?”
Old Tortoise and the other two faction members were caught by surprise, but quickly rushed to their boss.
“Get lost!” Long Aotian shouted angrily. He thought initially that he could essentially trample the evil spirit, but his pride had cost him.
For what felt like the umpteenth time of the day, he was humiliated. Old Tortoise and the rest of the faction members who knew him pretty well kept their distance.
“Son of a bitch! When I declared that I’m going to kill you, I will definitely do it without hesitation!” Long Aotian took out a red pill and swallowed it immediately!
“Um…”
A sound of agony could be heard as Long’s skin turned a sanguine crimson. His eyes, now bloodshot gave him the appearance of a carnivorous beast! No ordinary human being would have the guts to get approach him right now.
“What the hell is that?” Chen Xiaobei asked in surprise.
“If I’m not mistaken, it’s the secret pill that made by Poison Rat; Flaming Pill!” Luo Puti explained. “That pill can boost one’s combat power for a short period of time, but its side effects are severe! It can deal serious damage to your health!”
“If that’s the case… The evil spirit will be defeated soon!” Chen Xiaobei muttered worriedly as he kept watching while the scene unfolds.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Later phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 10000. Combat power: 12000!]
Chen Xiaobei had also observed Long Aotian with his Netherspirit Battlescouter, and it turned out that his rival’s combat power had increased by two thousand!
*Whooosh…*
Long Aotian charged at the evil spirit again; his speed was even faster than before.
*Raaawr?*
The evil spirit unleashed a baffled roar. It was surprised at the sudden shift of Long Aotian’s speed, began to swing his Spirit Claw randomly when it sensed the imminent threat. However, its Spirit Claw could no longer reach.
“Now, die!” Long yelled in rage. With his unbelievable speed he quickly pasted the three yellow paper talismans on the evil spirit’s forehead, chest, and abdomen!
“Ouch… Ow…”
The evil spirit then began to scream in pain. It fell and rolled on the ground while smoke wafted from its body. It would soon be destroyed.
“Open the coffin right now!” Long shouted, completely ignoring the fallen spirit.
*Rumble*
The thick and heavy coffin cover was shoved off.
“Oh my God! Is this really Emperor Yan? The condition of his dead body is no different from a living person!”
“He is dead for hundreds of years! It is definitely incredible that his body has not decomposed!”
The two remaining combatants of the Hundred Beasts Faction members were dumbfounded. Their curiosity piqued, Long Aotian and Old Tortoise also approached the coffin.
“Master! Take a look! Those things under Emperor Yan’s hands!”
Old Tortoise’s observant eyes had picked up the ancient book that was titled Emperor Yan’s Unwavering Body Fortifying Skill under the right palm of the tranquil body.
“Congratulations, master! Congratulations, master!” Old Tortoise took the book and handed it to Long Aotian with both hands.
“This volume is the mother of all body enhancement skill books! During ancient times, Emperor Yan mastered this skill and conquered all nine states! That was how he became king!” Old Tortoise continued. “If you could learn it, you will become as powerful as Emperor Yan! You will be invincible and dominate all of Jianghu!”
“Oh?!” Long Aotian was delighted. He said excitedly: “According to you, this book is the most valuable treasure here, right? The blood jade coffin is nothing compared to this!”
“That’s right! It’s an undeniable fact! The reason why the Jianghu was so crazy about getting into Emperor Yan’s tomb is all because of this tome! Should a person gain the most powerful art, they will also gain absolute authority! And when that time comes, wealth is but a number; money will no longer be important!” Old Tortoise said confidently.
*Phew*
Long Aotian took a deep breath after hearing Old Tortoise’s conjecture, and then began to laugh hysterically, “The Emperor Yan’s Unwavering Body Fortifying Skill Book, that made Jianghu crazy! And now I have it with me! This is great! Hahaha…”
“Congratulations, master! Everyone will bow before you when you master this skill!”
Old Tortoise and the other two faction members were already licking his boots. Still their leader wasn’t paying much attention to them.
Squinting as he surveyed the room, Long Aotian shouted mockingly, “Bao Linshuang! What are you going to do now? How’d you feel watching me claim the most valuable item in all of Jianghu? How’d you like it? Feeling good?”
Chen Xiaobei frowned in frustration in a corner.
Long Aotian was keeping up his taunts, “Bao Linshuang! Why are you still hiding? Come out if you are a real man! Coward! Garbage! All you can do is hide in a corner! I, Long Aotian is the real winner here! I will be the one to ascend to the throne of Jianghu! Hahaha…”
“F*ck!”
Chen Xiaobei’s temper was not to be trifled with – he could never stand it whenever someone calls him a coward! He gritted his teeth and prepared to dash out to face Long Aotian.
“No!” Luo Puti held on to his arm and attempted to convinced him gingerly. “You can’t even defeat him before he took the Flaming Pill! You are going to die if you fight with him right now!”
“Let’s not jump to conclusions!” Chen Xiaobei replied coldly.
“Don’t try to act tough! Let’s sit tight and observe! We might be able to turn the tide by some other way!” Luo Puti refused to let him go in fear that he might do something stupid.
“Master! Let’s not mind the son of a bitch! We have another treasure here!” Old Tortoise smiled, took the item under Emperor Yan’s left palm, and handed it to his leader with both of his hands.
