Chapter 177: I Want That Sword of His

To want to kill a Child of Luck.

There must be a prerequisite! That is, the Child of Luck's Qi Luck Value must have already been suppressed to the point where they can be killed! However...

Although Long Tian'ao has experienced so many setbacks, the Qi Luck Value on him is still very high!

Up until now, it has not yet reached the level where he can be killed!

Lu Ren even feels a bit annoyed.

These Children of Luck always squander their talents without any restraint like insects, wantonly abusing the resources in the cultivation world.

Yet there is not a single Child of Luck who can do something that would make him show mercy.

Naturally...

Lu Ren cannot be considered a good person.

Even if this Child of Luck harbors thoughts for all living beings and pities the world, as long as they stand on the side of the Heavenly Dao and have not chosen the right side, Lu Ren will absolutely not let them go.

Cultivation is just like this.

The weak are prey to the strong.

It is a life-or-death struggle.

Gazing at the struggling Long Tian'ao, a thought flashed through Lu Ren's mind for an instant, and he raised his hand to summon the Taotie.

The little Taotie was still a bit dizzy; after coming out, it couldn't even tell north from south.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

It was disoriented, but upon detecting the thick earth aura overflowing in the air, its eyes instantly lit up, the tiny eyes glowing in mid-air as if they were two lanterns.

"Something that can fill me up!" the Taotie judged quickly.

Its nose sniffed.

"And fire!"

"Master, is this all for me to come out and eat?"

"If I eat this, I can at least be thirty percent full."

A flash of surprise crossed Lu Ren's eyes.

Although he had long known that the Taotie was a creature that could never be full, he did not expect that even after eating and eating, it would still crave food.

And even now, it still cannot be full.

The world is filled with a vast amount of aura.

Yet for the Taotie, it can only be thirty percent full.

Fortunately, the Lu Family prepares meals for it almost without pause, so it does not have to go hungry.

In a short period of time, although there is no visible difference in the Taotie's human form, its true body has grown much larger, like a balloon being blown up.

"I didn't bring you here to eat these things." Lu Ren casually tapped the Taotie's head.

I am afraid that in all the world, only he would dare to tap the Taotie's head.

Yet the Taotie does not resent it; instead, it shows an affectionate look.

Although it is a Fierce Beast.

It must be said.

That old man Ren Woxing raised it very well indeed.

Under his guidance, the Taotie is like a very mischievous brat.

It is truly gratifying.

Lu Ren pointed casually at Long Tian'ao on the ground and spoke to the Taotie, giving instructions: "Do you see him?"

"The sword in his hand should be one of the Ten Great Famous Swords."

"Fetch that sword and bring it to me, and I will prepare enough food for you to eat for three months."

"Really?" The Taotie didn't even have time to hear what other requests Lu Ren might have; upon hearing that there would be enough food for three whole months, its eyes instantly lit up.

You must know.

How many masters in the cultivation world would bargain with their own contracted beasts?

Especially since theirs is not an Equal Contract, but a Master-Servant Contract.

Whenever it is a Master-Servant Contract, the master is always in the dominant position, and who knows how many people would forcefully order their contracted beasts to do things.

Yet Lu Ren never seems to do so. He even gives conditions that make his contracted beasts willing to work when he instructs them to do things.

Never mind not being willing to give it three months' worth of food.

Even if it were working for free this time, the Taotie would be willing.

But since there is food to be had, it is not foolish enough to refuse.

It agreed without hesitation.

"Rest assured, Master. If I, the Taotie, cannot do it, then no other Fierce Beast can. I will definitely fetch that sword for you, Master!"

Despite its tiny body, it had great courage, flying directly above Long Tian'ao's head.

When Long Tian'ao noticed something blocking the sunlight above his head and casting a shadow, he subconsciously looked up.

But when he saw this round little ball, his expression immediately turned dark and gloomy.

Long Tian'ao's tone was unkind: "Get lost, don't block the way here!"

He was struggling against the mud on the ground with his Life-Bound Spirit Sword; although the Life-Bound Spirit Sword was trying hard to pull him upward, the mud was desperately dragging Long Tian'ao down.

It was as if the mud wrapping around his legs had developed a wisdom incomparable to ordinary things, determined to put him to death today.

The longer the tug-of-war lasted, the more terrified Long Tian'ao felt.

How could this be? Ordinary mud would not have such powerful suction.

There is likely some rare treasure underneath.

Greed? Long Tian'ao is, of course, greedy.

A trait that almost every Child of Luck must possess is greed.

Only greed allows them to obtain things that are difficult for ordinary people to acquire, and allows them to climb further along the Great Dao of cultivation.

It is a pity that he is currently unable to protect himself; even though Long Tian'ao's heart is overflowing with greed, he still has to hold back.

He is struggling desperately against the mud beneath his feet.

He wants to move upward.

That lump of mud insists on pulling Long Tian'ao downward.

Neither side is willing to give up.

And at this moment.

The sudden appearance of the Taotie ignites the fury in Long Tian'ao's heart.

Long Tian'ao forcibly suppresses the ferocity in his eyes.

But his tone still reveals extreme disgust and impatience as he growls, "Get lost!"

"Otherwise, I will draw my sword and kill you in a moment; a mere Taotie in its Juvenile Stage wants to block my path?"

"Don't you even look to see if you are worthy!!"

What he says is indeed very overbearing.

But if a Taotie were capable of fear, it would absolutely never be notorious.

The Taotie disdainfully pats its backside.

Although it is not clear whether that is its backside or its head.

Yet Long Tian'ao still perceives an indescribable insult.

This little thing actually dares to insult him in front of his face, and he swears to kill it once he gets out! Who knew the Taotie would say disdainfully, "Hee hee, whether you can get out or not is another matter!"

"However, as long as you are willing to hand over the sword in your hand, I am willing to give you a hand!"

So it was after his Aotian Sword!

Long Tian'ao instantly discerns the Taotie's true intention, although the Taotie never hid it to begin with, and his expression becomes even uglier.

"Do you think that anything can bully me?"

Long Tian'ao raises his head and roars at Lu Ren in the sky.

After hearing his roar, Lu Ren instead smiles faintly.

Lu Ren says casually, "I naturally do not think that just anything can bully you, but if it is a Taotie, it just so happens to be able to target you!"

"Long Tian'ao, have you forgotten the ability of the Taotie?"
