Chapter 365: The Deal with Lei Wan

365. Chapter 365: The Deal with Lei Wan

Lei Wan took a green wooden sword from his Storage Ring, looked at Qin Manyuan, and said, "Your strategy is not bad; although this plan is full of loopholes, against someone so deeply devoted, it might truly achieve a miraculous effect."

"This is an Evil-Dispelling Sword made from the Heaven Grade Spirit Medicine, Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo; it can release Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder no weaker than a Thunder Tribulation."

"Although the power of the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder is a notch below Life-Extinguishing Thunder, when it comes to suppressing demonic creatures, the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder is superior."

"You only need to have that Female Gu King stab this Evil-Dispelling Sword into Duan Tianwu's Demon Emperor Heart, and I guarantee that even if he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin."

"By then, even if he is still alive, he will have to divert more than half his strength to suppress the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder surging into his body, and he will be unable to unleash even a fraction of his true power."

"Under these circumstances, if over a hundred of us Gu Kings rush forward together and still fail to kill him, then we truly are pigs!"

Lei Wan snorted coldly and threw the Evil-Dispelling Sword in his hand toward Qin Manyuan; Qin Manyuan caught the flying sword, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes before quickly vanishing.

This Evil-Dispelling Sword was made from the legendary Heaven Grade Spirit Medicine, Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo, capable of releasing Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder comparable to a Thunder Tribulation; since this thunder destroys everything, how could he not crave it?

However, he merely thought about it without truly harboring thoughts of greedily taking this treasure, for the Law Enforcers of Gu Imperial City were absolutely beyond his ability to provoke.

Long Xuan also turned his gaze to this Evil-Dispelling Sword, revealing a trace of solemnity.

Although he possessed the stronger Life-Extinguishing Thunder, his current Calamity Gu was far from being able to unleash the full power of Life-Extinguishing Thunder; at present, the power of Life-Extinguishing Thunder was likely inferior to the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder released by the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo.

If Duan Tianwu were truly struck in a vital point by the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder, he would likely be half-crippled even if he did not die.

At this moment, Long Xuan developed considerable interest in the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo, forming the intention to plant it in his Medicine Garden.

Ever since he acquired the Heaven-Devouring World Toad and gained a vast Mobile Medicine Garden, he had developed an obsession with collecting all kinds of rare Spirit Medicines; whenever he encountered one, he basically never let it go.

Thus, he spoke up at this time: "This old man is a Fourth Grade Alchemist and currently needs Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder to refine a pill called the Evil-Repelling Pill; I wonder if Law Enforcer Lei has any surplus Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo?"

Upon hearing this, all the Gu Kings present turned their gazes toward him, curious in their hearts: Evil-Repelling Pill? How had they never heard of such a pill before? Could it be that they were ignorant?

Lei Wan also turned his head to look at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have no surplus Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo on hand; I only retain a single seed of the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo."

"But Heaven Grade Spirit Medicines are not so easy to cultivate; the growing environment for Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo must definitely be a Thunder Gathering Land, and even if such terrain is found, there is a high probability it still won't survive."

"I feared wasting such a treasure, so I have kept it on hand until now."

"I wonder what treasure you intend to exchange with me?" Lei Wan asked, revealing a look of interest.

A Fourth Grade Alchemist surely possessed many mysterious Fourth Grade Pills, and Fourth Grade Pills held appeal for any Gu King; therefore, given Long Xuan's identity as a Fourth Grade Alchemist, Lei Wan had formed the intention to trade with him.

Hearing that the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo required a Thunder Gathering Land for its growth terrain, Long Xuan pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to proceed with the trade.

Although there was currently no Thunder Floating Island inside the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, the Calamity Gu could release thunder.

With the Calamity Gu present, it was possible to cultivate the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo successfully, so trying it out would do no harm.

Thus, Long Xuan said, "I do not carry any surplus Fourth Grade Pills on my person, but I do have one Three Hundred Year Lifespan Pill."

"If you have no interest in the Three Hundred Year Lifespan Pill, you may have me refine any kind of Fourth Grade Pill for you."

"However, you must provide the Pill Formula yourself, and the materials yourself!"

Once these words were spoken, all the Gu Kings present could not help but inhale sharply; offering to refine any kind of Fourth Grade Pill was truly bold speech—could it be that he could even refine the most difficult Fourth Grade Pill in this world?

Everyone was startled by his tone and couldn't help but look at him with strange gazes, secretly guessing what his identity truly was, whether he was bragging or actually possessed such capability.

Lei Wan smiled bitterly and said regretfully, "I really do want to test you by presenting the most difficult Fourth Grade Pill Formula in this world for you to refine, but alas, I do not possess any kind of Fourth Grade Pill Formula on hand."

"If I had a Fourth Grade Pill Formula whose value surpassed that of the Lifespan Pill, I would definitely have you refine a Fourth Grade Spirit Pill for me; that would undoubtedly be the most cost-effective option."

"But who made me so poor? I can only ask for that Three Hundred Year Lifespan Pill of yours."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan secretly sighed in regret; having freely obtained a Fourth Grade Sword Bone Pill Formula had made him addicted to getting things for free, and he had wanted to freely obtain even more heaven-defying Fourth Grade Pill Formulas, but unfortunately, this Lei Wan was not very helpful, wasting such an awesome identity of his.

"Very well, since Law Enforcer Lei intends to take the Three Hundred Year Lifespan Pill, let us conduct the transaction now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Xuan tossed the Three Hundred Year Lifespan Pill left behind by Master Sun toward Lei Wan.

A flash of joy vanished instantly from Lei Wan's eyes as he hurriedly caught it; who could remain unmoved when facing a treasure capable of increasing one's lifespan by three hundred years? Even someone of his extremely high status and position was no exception.

After catching the Lifespan Pill, he inspected it publicly, and upon confirming the Lifespan Pill was genuine, he calmly stored it in his Storage Ring.

At the same time, he took the seed of the Evil-Repelling Divine Bamboo from his Storage Ring, tossed it toward Long Xuan, and said kindly:

"We already have enough manpower to deal with Duan Tianwu, but we are still lacking a physician to treat the wounded at any time."

"You do not need to join the fight; just stay at the very rear to treat the wounded."

"I believe with such an arrangement, no one should have any objections, correct?" Lei Wan swept his gaze around the group.

This Fourth Grade Alchemist spoke with great arrogance, daring to claim he could refine any kind of Fourth Grade Spirit Pill, so Lei Wan now formed the intention to curry favor with him, planning to place him at the rear as a personal favor.

Long Xuan naturally accepted this favor, his heart already rejoicing immensely.

He had originally thought he would need to expend a Hundred Li Talisman to escape this calamity, but now it seemed he could save that Hundred Li Talisman.

From now on, he could openly hide at the back to watch the show, and no one would say anything.

At this moment, who would dare raise an objection? Whoever dared to speak against it would not only offend this powerful Law Enforcer of Gu Imperial City but also offend a mysterious Fourth Grade Alchemist.

Therefore, although some people felt dissatisfied in their hearts, none revealed their thoughts on their faces; instead, they all voiced their approval.

"Such an arrangement is excellent; if there is a Fourth Grade Alchemist at the rear to treat the wounded, it will save many of us from dying. Not only should this Fourth Grade Alchemist stand at the very rear, but we must also protect him at all costs," Qin Manyuan was the first to voice his approval.

Many people secretly cursed in their hearts at this moment: Excellent my foot; when traveling outside, who doesn't prepare some life-saving pills? What use is having an Alchemist following at the rear?

"Very good, since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled," Lei Wan smiled and said, "Next, we will continue to hide in this Secret Chamber; once he arrives, we will give him a surprise."

"This Secret Chamber is protected by an Array Formation, guaranteeing that Duan Tianwu's three eyes cannot detect us."

"To be on the safe side, none of us should go out either; those three eyes can see very, very far."

"The only one who can go out is that Female Gu King who looks very much like Princess Xi Yue; we only need to hide here and wait for her news."

The crowd nodded, and Qin Manyuan reluctantly tossed the Evil-Dispelling Sword in his hand to that Female Gu King who wore a Veil, saying with a serious expression, "From today onward, your name shall be Qin Yuyou."

"Whether our upcoming mission succeeds depends entirely on you!"

The Female Gu King caught the flying Evil-Dispelling Sword, nodded, stored the Evil-Dispelling Sword away, and walked out of the Secret Chamber...

Seven days later, night.

A bald monk flew through the air, slowly descending onto the head of the Golden Giant Buddha of the Great Buddha Temple; looking down below, the corner of his mouth revealed a sinister smile.

"Hmph! Great Buddha Temple, I have returned. Today I will show you just how severe the consequences of not killing are. The Buddhist Sect's tenet of non-killing is wrong.

"When eliminating evil, one must be thorough; today I will kill every single Evil Thought Body within the Tower of Sealing Demons!"

Recalling all that had happened before, he clenched his fists, about to charge down, yet when he spotted a certain figure sitting in the Pavilion drinking tea, his eyes widened in shock, his spirit shaken violently, and he cried out involuntarily, "Yu You!"

He flew toward that Pavilion like a madman.

"Yu You!"

Duan Tianwu rushed forward regardless of everything, then fiercely pulled the woman before him into his embrace.

Yet before he could say another word, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest; lowering his head in disbelief, he saw a long sword crackling with thunder clearly impaled through his heart.

The long sword pierced straight through his Demon Emperor Heart, and the thunder sealed within the sword surged wildly into his body.

But in this moment, he seemed unable to feel the excruciating pain in his body at all.

"You..."

Duan Tianwu flew into a rage, clenched his fist within his Qilin Arm, and swung it heavily toward her heart.

The Qilin Arm moved with extreme speed, leaving that Female Gu King no time to dodge, yet just as his fist was about to punch straight through her, it suddenly transformed from a fist into a palm, retracted its force in time, and gently pushed her away.

After landing, the Female Gu King looked somewhat incredulous; she had not expected success to come so easily—could it be that the intelligence of men devoted to love is negative? How could such a flawed plan actually succeed in ambushing him?

"Hahaha... Duan Tianwu! Does the taste of Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder feel good? With Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder now inside your body, today marks your death!"

Amidst loud laughter, Lei Wan's figure rushed out of the Secret Chamber, laughing as he flew over here, followed closely by a large group of Gu Kings.

"Hehe... Truly, even heroes cannot pass the test of beauty; no matter how powerful a person is, they will ultimately die at the hands of a beauty. Duan Tianwu, you are finished! Today I will seek justice for the Qin Clan Gu King who died at your hands!"

Qin Manyuan followed closely behind Lei Wan, grinning viciously as he charged toward Duan Tianwu.

"Sinful creature! Do not commit more killings! Turn back and find salvation!" the Old Abbot shouted angrily right behind them. (End of Chapter)
