Chapter 48: Is this reasonable?

~11 min read 2,074 words

Brother Brother Shang Yang's mockery was realistic and cruel, leaving the group of reincarnators speechless.

Wen Feifeng, that exceptionally handsome Daoist priest radiating righteousness, did not argue either. He simply kept a stiff face, and after a long while, he spat out:

"Fellow Daoists, whatever consequences follow this matter, I, Wen, will bear them myself. Although I have borrowed your magic power, I will absolutely not let any of your lives be lost."

"Hahaha... If you, this hypocritical bull-nose, are going to say that, then you must be very careful to guard against me, Brother Brother Shang Yang. A single reincarnator is worth quite a lot of merit points, after all."

……

Amidst this commotion, Li Yu's gaze fell entirely on the center of the great hall, on that Void Poison Spring.

As a newcomer Order Master entering the Mystic Realm, he had accidentally encountered two "cheating players" who were "fishing in a dried-up pond," yet he had still completed three side quests, obtaining hundreds of merit points and a strange object he could take out: 【Pistil Nectar】.

By rights, he should be content and choose to stay far away from this dangerous area, honestly waiting outside the imperial palace for these two ruthless people to decide the winner and end the conquest mission, so he could return to Wanfu City with a rich harvest.

But Li Yu, staring at the plain-clothed female corpse, felt an inexplicably intense urge rising within him.

He really wanted to peek!

He really wanted to touch the corpse!

When these two thoughts arose, Li Yu did not feel that he was a pervert.

Instead, he vaguely realized:

"That rule really took effect. If I'm not mistaken, this 【Corpse of the Penglai Female Immortal】 must be related to the Spirit Venerable path I am cultivating."

"Is she my predecessor?"

"Or does she hide the subsequent sequence, secret medicine recipes, or main materials for strange objects that I need...?"

Before Li Yu could figure it out.

The "Sui Nation Tyrant," who had been mowed down like grass by Wen Feifeng and Brother Brother Shang Yang, finally could not hold on any longer. He became completely insane, his withered, hanging body seemingly about to slide out of the flower bud and plunge into the poison spring.

His six arms, regardless of the side effects that appeared instantly, scrambled to scoop up the poison and stuff it into his mouth.

In his mouth, he began to curse the Pistil Empress wildly.

"Vile wench, where are you? Why don't you come to help me?"

"Did you go out to steal a man again? Haven't you had enough after all these years?"

"You filthy wench, if it weren't for my bestowal back then, you would have long been polluted into a medicine corpse. Yet you dare to harbor dissatisfaction with me? Every time there are intruders, you try to steal a taste, then give birth to one retarded monster after another. In the end, didn't you still fail to escape?"

"You came just now and disappeared again... are you planning to hide because you see me in trouble... is it useful? Once I die, and this immortal's remains fall into the hands of these intruders, this corpse city will collapse and disappear, and you will die without a burial place."

"Come out, give me come out."

"No, something is wrong. Although you are stupid, you know the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold.' Vile wench, you haven't already died, have you?"

"Who is it! Who killed my Empress?"

……

Sentence by sentence, incoherent, making it impossible to tell whether the monarch loved or loathed the Empress.

Li Yu, listening amidst the corpse tide, felt a bit unbearable.

He hadn't expected that he had only borrowed a little nectar from the Pistil Flower Demon to sneak into the palace, and it had led to this aftermath.

Just as Li Yu was listening to the tyrant's roaring curses while considering whether to advance or retreat.

Suddenly, his whole body gave a jolt, as if sensing something, and he glanced at Wen Feifeng and Brother Brother Shang Yang.

His eyesight was sharp; in an instant, he saw that although the two were still slaughtering the tyrant, their bodies had subtle twists, and the killing intent revealed in their eyes had diverted a significant portion toward the corpse group.

"Not good!"

"Have I been discovered?"

As the doubtful thought arose, Li Yu could not care about anything else. He chose to follow his heart, turned around, and fled against the corpse tide.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Two voices came from behind simultaneously:

"It really is you, you rat!"

"Fellow Daoist, the strategy of fishing in troubled waters is fine once, but it won't work a second time."

Before the words faded, accompanied by a phoenix cry, the large group of medicine corpses behind Li Yu was instantly cleared away by the Spirit Sparrow Sacred Fire.

Following closely behind were several death rays that had become incomparably thick after merging.

Even though Li Yu had made an extreme dodge, he was still grazed, and a large circular piece of flesh and blood under his ribs was evaporated alive.

Regret, intense pain, and the omen of death surged over him together.

He had indeed been discovered!

Brother Brother Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng were indeed as they boasted; both were heaven-sent geniuses and top-tier smart people.

Through the tyrant's curses and anomalies, they guessed that the so-called "Empress" must have died at the hands of the Demon Star Order Master who had special hiding means.

Since that Order Master could disguise himself as a medicine corpse, perhaps he also had the means to disguise himself as a Pistil Flower Demon.

Thus, the two didn't even need to discuss it; they tacitly took action against Li Yu.

It was reasonable for Wen Feifeng to do so; he was from the reincarnator camp and was determined to obtain the "Penglai Female Immortal's remains," so he would not allow someone like Li Yu to hide in the dark and reap the benefits.

As for Brother Brother Shang Yang?

He was purely ruthless; whoever hindered him would be killed.

Being in the same camp, if they weren't his "nourishment," they had to be slaughtered even more.

"Damn it, this is outrageous!"

"I'm a newcomer, how do I have the virtue and ability to be targeted by two cheating ruthless people together?"

"Is this reasonable?"

While cursing in his heart, Li Yu also made a crazy reaction in the extreme situation.

He first poured almost a third of the 【Pistil Nectar】 into his mouth, and then, amidst a hissing sound, an extremely vast and vision-obscuring fragrant cloud of Qi mist surged out.

"Empress, you vile wench!" "You finally dare to appear, come and help me quickly."

The half-insane Sui Nation tyrant didn't notice at all that in the thick fragrant mist, it wasn't his charming flower demon wife, but a man.

While roaring, he swallowed a few more mouthfuls of poison in a death struggle, spawning a large number of flesh-pillar tentacles to attack Brother Brother Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng.

Taking advantage of the moment the two were entangled, Li Yu began to take medicine.

God-Foot Pill!

Compassionate Heart Pill!

Especially the latter; although he had picked off quite a bit to eat, there was still a fist-sized amount left, just pitted and uneven.

It was very difficult to swallow it all at once.

But Li Yu didn't care about that. He reached out and tore his own mouth, then stuffed it in hard. With the help of saliva, with a gulp, the pill passed through his throat.

Before being choked to death, the Art of Consumption was activated.

Finally, he completely entered the "Compassionate Heart State."

At the same time, the two people behind had also shaken off the entanglement of the Stamen Emperor, and once again, without saying a word, with extreme tacit understanding, they launched a big move at Li Yu from a distance, one after the other.

Wen Feifeng summoned three Sacred Fire Spirit Sparrows capable of incinerating hundreds of medicine corpses at once, forming a 'pin' shape, and swept toward Li Yu.

=9+Shu_ba

And Brother Brother Shang Yang was even more ruthless. Those flesh-and-blood death stars suddenly merged into a cannon-like mechanical monster. It only took one breath to charge, and from the muzzle, a "giant death ray" that could almost completely encompass Li Yu's body and evaporate him instantly was fired.

Undoubtedly, the death ray arrived first despite being fired later.

Seeing this scene!

The group of reincarnators who were fixed in place as "magic power batteries" couldn't help but feel sympathy for that insidious and cunning Demon Star Order Master.

To die in such a way was too miserable.

But soon, the next moment, everyone did not see the scene of Li Yu being completely evaporated.

Or rather, they only saw half of it.

At the moment of being bombarded by the giant death ray, Li Yu's body shifted half a meter horizontally, so only one arm, one leg, and a small half of his torso were evaporated by the death ray.

Normally speaking, this "way of death" wasn't much better.

Unfortunately, Li Yu at this moment was not normal.

A large amount of egg silk surged from his remaining half-body, instantly beginning to repair the evaporated flesh. His limbs turned into sharp claws, muscles bulged, his skin hardened rapidly, and a incomparably evil scarlet vertical eye grew on his forehead, with large patches of flame-like patterns growing and covering his whole body.

When he finished changing, turned around, and looked at the crowd.

Including Wen Feifeng and Brother Brother Shang Yang, everyone felt a cold killing intent and a strange indifference.

As if they were not "human race," but some kind of ingredient.

Being sized up by this weird butcher chef, even though he had no knives in his hands, the horrific scene of themselves being perfectly dissected piece by piece couldn't help but emerge in everyone's minds.

"What kind of ghost thing is that?"

When this thought arose, everyone soon saw him flickering like a ghost, easily avoiding the three Sacred Fire Spirit Sparrows.

"Jinshen Sect?"

"Food-person?"

Brother Brother Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng, neither showed any fear on their faces, but asked in confusion.

While the former was asking, the flesh-and-blood mechanical cannon in front of him had already begun to charge again.

But Li Yu didn't give him the chance. He stared at the two without a word, then flickered and disappeared completely from the hall.

Escaped... escaped?

The magic power batteries who were looking forward to a fight felt disappointed at this.

It was no wonder; Brother Brother Shang Yang and Wen Feifeng were also greatly surprised, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But immediately, a sense of dread arose in their hearts.

"Cunning and alert, he is an extraordinary person."

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky to run fast."

After speaking, the two actually turned their heads in tacit understanding again, continuing to slaughter the Stamen Emperor who only had a little bit of demonic flower shell left.

In another two or three breaths, he wouldn't even have a complete corpse.

At the last moment of his life, the tyrant didn't forget to howl: "Where did the Empress, that vile wench, go? Don't leave me, come back quickly."

……

Outside the imperial palace, Li Yu, with a pale face, lifted the Compassionate Heart state, and the regret in his heart could not be contained at all.

"A loss, a huge loss this time."

"I only hesitated for a breath or two, and I was discovered by those two beasts."

"Both of them are shameless; for a newcomer like me, was it necessary to use big moves right from the start?"

"There wasn't even a buffer. If I hadn't been witty, I would be a dead person now, not even a complete corpse, directly evaporated clean."

While Li Yu was cursing Wen Feifeng and Brother Brother Shang Yang, he subconsciously calculated the losses he had paid to save his life.

One God-Foot Pill!

One-third of the Pistil Nectar!

All remaining Compassionate Heart Pills!

Immediately, his heart ached even more, and the thought of revenge surged up.
