Chapter 1102

~7 min read 1,344 words

"My time is limited!"

"I will only give you half an incense stick of time!"

"You can choose to agree, or you can choose to die. Of course, I won't kill you right now, but there will always be an opportunity!"

"You understand!"

With his hands behind his back, Wu Zhanyun, standing in the void, stared at He Pingsheng. His expression was calm, and no killing intent leaked out, but He Pingsheng did not doubt for a second that he had such ability and means.

"No need to wait for half an incense stick of time!" He Pingsheng took the black token out of his storage ring, but did not hand it directly to Wu Zhanyun, instead saying: "I have tampered with this token. With a single thought from me, it will be destroyed!"

"Also, don't think about killing me instantly, old man. This thing is connected to my spiritual sense. If you kill me instantly, it will also turn into ashes!"

Wu Zhanyun's expression sank abruptly: "You want to threaten me?"

"No... Senior, get this straight, it is you who are threatening me!" He Pingsheng said generously: "Senior coveting this token of mine is truly despicable!"

"But there's no help for it, who told us that in the Immortal Realm, strength is respected!"

"It's no problem to hand this token to you, and I don't want anything from you, but I want you to agree to one condition!"

"Fine!" Wu Zhanyun breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this and said: "Speak, what condition? As long as it's not particularly excessive, I can agree to it!"

He Pingsheng said: "What this junior worries about is nothing more than the four words 'killing for treasure'. As long as you, Senior, swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will not make a move against me, this junior will hand over the token with both hands!"

"Otherwise, no matter what, I will not accept!"

Wu Zhanyun sneered: "In my life, I have never sworn a Heavenly Dao oath!"

He Pingsheng said: "If you, Senior, do not swear, it means that after you take the item, you will continue to make a move against me. If that is the case, since it's death either way, we might as well go down together!"

"Kill me then!"

After finishing, He Pingsheng closed his eyes directly.

Nothing else for it!

In this kind of disadvantageous negotiation, the weaker party being able to preserve their own life is already the greatest benefit they can obtain.

For He Pingsheng, fighting through his own ability to enter the top ten of the Qiankun Immortal City was absolutely not difficult.

The problem was how to achieve a good ranking without attracting Wu Zhanyun's killing intent; that was the point.

The better He Pingsheng performed, the less Wu Zhanyun would be able to let him live.

So he had to resort to this desperate measure.

"Hoo..." Wu Zhanyun exhaled deeply and said: "Fine, I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise you will die very ugly!"

"Heavenly Dao above, disciple Wu Zhanyun swears today: After He Pingsheng hands over the direct-entry token for the Yu Emperor Star Star Emperor City Sword Trial to me, I, Wu Zhanyun, will no longer make a move against him. If I violate this oath, may I be destroyed by Heaven and Earth, instantly!"

Boom, rumble...

Boom, rumble...

Wu Zhanyun finished his oath, and several flashes of lightning and thunder suddenly fell from the void.

This represented the Heavenly Dao's recognition of Wu Zhanyun's oath.

"Is that enough now?" Wu Zhanyun stared at He Pingsheng with an unhappy expression.

He Pingsheng waved his hand, extracting a strand of immortal essence and spiritual sense from the token, and then respectfully sent the black token into Wu Zhanyun's hands: "Please accept it, Vice City Lord!"

"Hmm!" Wu Zhanyun said: "Enough, you may go!"

He Pingsheng didn't dawdle and transformed directly into a stream of light to leave.

"It's all my fault!"

After He Pingsheng returned to the temporary dojo, Chu Sheng apologized with a bitter expression, saying: "Back then, I should have just handed this thing to that Wu Zhanyun. Now that I've given it to you, it has instead harmed you with an extra layer of trouble!"

He Pingsheng smiled: "It's fine!"

That's right, it was an extra layer of trouble.

But after forcing Wu Zhanyun to swear the Heavenly Dao oath just now, everything returned to the starting point.

At worst, he would just fight it out and face the means of the Bai Yun Immortal Sect and Kunwu Mountain!

"Junior Brother Chu!" He Pingsheng took out his token and said: "I'll trouble you to help me go to the City Lord's Mansion to exchange the token. The competition is in ten days!"

"I need to go into seclusion for a few days!"

During his previous intermittent seclusion, He Pingsheng had basically finished cultivating the 【Human Immortal Chapter】 of the 【Heavenly Extreme Life-Transforming Art】.

But it still lacked the final stabilization and consolidation.

Otherwise, it would be very easy for other problems to occur when using it.

He Pingsheng wanted to use these last ten days to stabilize and consolidate it.

In this way, even if he encountered some dark horses during the competition, he could handle them.

Especially if the Bai Yun Immortal Sect and Kunwu Mountain sent high-level cultivators to carry out assassinations later, He Pingsheng would have one more life-saving technique.

"Alright!" Chu Sheng said: "I'll go right now. You can rest assured in your seclusion; I'll handle everything!"

He Pingsheng closed the formation of his dojo, checked it carefully one more time, and only then began his secluded cultivation.

In a flash, ten days passed!

During these ten days, He Pingsheng thoroughly refined the Human Immortal Chapter of the Heavenly Extreme Life-Transforming Art.

Now, as long as he consumed a thousand years of lifespan, he could forcibly raise his realm by one major level, from the current ninth layer of the Human Immortal stage to the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal stage.

Of course, this realm could only be maintained for a short two hours.

And during these two hours, He Pingsheng's attack power, defense, spiritual sense, etc., would all temporarily increase by one major tier.

With his ability to fight across tiers, after using the Heavenly Extreme Life-Transforming Art, he would be able to fight Heavenly Immortals with the stature of a Human Immortal.

However, whether he could kill a Heavenly Immortal within two hours, that he didn't know.

Hopefully he could!

"Wang Shixiong He, you've come out of seclusion!" Chu Sheng had been waiting at He Pingsheng's door early on. Seeing He Pingsheng emerge, he immediately went up and handed him a golden token: "This is the token I drew for you. It's a very good number, an integer, number one thousand!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng put away the token and asked: "May I ask, Wang Shixiong, do you know the rules for the Qiankun Immortal City competition?"

Chu Sheng said: "I do. Actually, they are just those rules: no using external objects during fights, no continuing to attack after the opponent surrenders, etc.!"

"But this time, our competition uses an elimination system!"

"One-on-one, moving up. The loser is eliminated, and the winner advances!"

He Pingsheng nodded: This method was the fastest way.

It was almost exactly the same as the screening method within the Red Lotus Immortal Valley before.

After one round of competition, half the people could be eliminated!

After several such rounds, the top ten could be determined.

Seeing He Pingsheng come out of seclusion, Suo Lin also hurried over from the other side.

"Junior Feng Shishu Suo Lin!" He Pingsheng quickly bowed to her.

Suo Lin walked directly in front of He Pingsheng, waving her hand and saying: "Stop bowing. You brat, you didn't even report to me after coming back from the four basic stages, instead making me, your Junior Feng Shishu, run over to find you!"

"Hurry and come with me, the competition is about to start!"
