Chapter 1858

A stream of light streaked across the void.

He Pingsheng did not continue flying in the direction of Huaibu City.

Even a fool would know that the Lu family must have set up surveillance in Huaibu City by now.

If he went to Huaibu City now, wouldn't that be throwing himself into a trap?

What to do?

He Pingsheng's brows furrowed.

He couldn't just fly back to Tianfeng City like this, could he?

It had taken several years of traveling to get from Tianfeng City to here.

If he flew back now, he might not even make it in ten thousand years.

He Pingsheng thought carefully and made a decision: find a place to hide first!

The Lu family couldn't possibly guard Huaibu City every single day, right?

When the time comes, I'll just go to Scorpion King City and leave by ship, won't I?

Thinking this, He Pingsheng casually picked a direction and flew deeper into the God Mountains.

After flying for about half a day, a ripple of divine power appeared in the void, and the entire sky suddenly turned dark.

"Not good!" He Pingsheng was shocked.

His flying body hurriedly made a turn in the void, intending to avoid the location of the spatial fluctuation.

However, the next moment, he felt the surrounding space become as if welded shut by something.

Next, He Pingsheng saw a stream of light streaking across the void on his left, flying along the skyline.

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just feeling the spatial fluctuation in the void, he had thought the opponent had opened a void passage directly to him.

It turned out not to be!

That was just a means of spatial disturbance.

This pursuer had, after all, flown here.

It was just that his flight speed was countless orders of magnitude faster than He Pingsheng's.

A tall, slender man wearing deep green Daoist robes stood opposite He Pingsheng.

Just from his appearance, one could see that this man looked somewhat similar to Lu Huinan.

Needless to say, it was eight or nine times out of ten the father Lu Huinan had spoken of.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense flew out and scanned the man, but could not scan his cultivation base.

"Stop scanning!" The man did not rush to act, but said indifferently: "This seat is Lu Shigu, a mid-level god at the third layer of the God Monarch realm."

He emphasized the words 'mid-level god' specifically.

It was as if he were deliberately distancing himself from He Pingsheng, a lower god.

But that is how the God Realm refers to cultivators at the God Monarch realm.

Cultivators at the God General, God Imperial, and God Spirit realms are called lower gods.

Cultivators at the God Monarch, God Venerable, and God King realms are called mid-level gods.

And cultivators at the God Emperor, God Sovereign, and titled God Sovereign realms are called upper gods.

"Originally, I wanted to slap you to death!" Lu Shigu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at He Pingsheng from a hundred zhang away in the void: "But now... I've changed my mind!"

"You might be qualified to become my divine slave!"

"Or, becoming my daughter's divine slave would also work!"

He Pingsheng's pupils shrank slightly, and his body retreated with a roar.

Unfortunately, the surrounding space remained as sticky as paste, making it difficult for him to escape.

"Stop struggling, it's meaningless!" Lu Shigu continued: "After reaching the mid-level god stage, one has already touched the laws between heaven and earth and can command the power of rules!"

"For me to kill you, I don't even need to make a move!"

"With a single thought, you will surely die!"

"Aren't you curious why I changed my mind after seeing you and want to take you as a slave?"

Lu Shigu spoke very indifferently, as if he had no emotions, and as if he were not in the least bit anxious.

He Pingsheng asked: "And why is that?"

Lu Shigu said: "I thought you were a little fellow at the twelfth layer of the God Imperial realm, but I didn't expect you to be only at the fourth layer!"

"You dared to deceive the Lu family, which shows you have good courage!"

"You were able to deceive the Lu family, which shows you have good methods!"

"Your spiritual sense can be this strong, which shows you must have extraordinary qualities!"

"A mere fourth-layer God Imperial realm cultivator, actually able to kill my daughter in seconds..."

"You are not simple!"

"This old man cherishes talent and is willing to take you as a slave; this is your good fortune!"

"Hand over the divine slave mark!"

"This way, you can suffer less physical pain. Otherwise, how unwise would it be to hand over the divine slave mark only after suffering?"

He Pingsheng sneered: "Impossible!"

Bang...

He took out two divine talismans in one breath.

Fire Phoenix Divine Talismans!

Activated simultaneously!

Two fire phoenixes lunged at Lu Shigu from the left and right sides.

"Slash..."

While throwing the two divine talismans, He Pingsheng drew his Silent Fire blade and slashed fiercely at Lu Shigu.

Divine Ability: Red Glow Moon Slash!

Three attacks assaulted Lu Shigu at the same time.

But Lu Shigu did not resist at all; he just laughed out loud, still standing in the void with his hands behind his back.

He Pingsheng saw that all three of his attacks were blocked outside a ten-zhang radius of him.

Three massive energies exploded, then turned into ripples that surged through the void.

Yet they didn't even stain Lu Shigu's sleeves.

He Pingsheng's heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Can't fight this!

The gap in realms is simply too great.

This is just like a Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator back in the Cultivation World.

How to fight?

No matter how heaven-defying your Foundation Establishment is, you couldn't possibly injure a Nascent Soul, right?

"Hehehe... interesting!" Lu Shigu was not angry, but laughed instead: "Now, do you see the gap between us?"

"You... cannot possibly beat me!"

"Never!"

"No matter how heaven-defying you are, it's useless!"

"Behave and hand over your divine slave mark!"

How could He Pingsheng accept his fate?

He took out the Heavenly Poison Crossbow again and fired two bolts at Lu Shigu in one breath.

The two poisonous lights merged into one, with incomparable speed!

He Pingsheng knew that even if these two poisonous lights landed on Lu Shigu, Lu Shigu could not possibly die.

But when resisting, one naturally has to use every trick in the book.

Pfft pfft...

The two poisonous lights were extremely fast, exceeding Lu Shigu's expectations.

If he had been careful from the start, he could still have dodged them.

But because he hadn't taken it seriously at first, he was hit squarely by He Pingsheng.

The next moment, the numbing poison immediately took effect.

At this time, He Pingsheng had already taken out a second Heavenly Poison Crossbow.

Pfft pfft...

Two more poisonous lights flew out.

But this was not numbing poison!

This time it was real poison, pure poison, the top-grade among third-tier poisons.

This time Lu Shigu reacted, but because he was already poisoned by the numbing agent, his reaction speed had dropped by a level, so although he moved to dodge, he did not succeed.

Two more poisonous lights shot into his body.

But even so, the poison He Pingsheng had fired was only third-tier poison.

Third-tier poison can only kill God Spirit realm cultivators; it cannot kill a God Monarch realm cultivator.

"Hahahaha..." Lu Shigu laughed out loud: "Good, good, good... He Pingsheng, well done!"

"You have quite a few third-tier top-grade divine artifacts... you little brat, you have quite a few secrets, don't you?"

"You must come from some great family!"

"Running?"

"You can't run away..."
