As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Chapter 140: The Furnace Grandmaster Ascends the Tower to Kill You, I, the Bull Demon, Don't Care About the Big Picture!_2

“It's actually you…”

Li Che held his fight hat tightly, his black robe billowing incessantly, and from beneath the Cute Bull Mask, a pair of eyes revealed shock and astonishment.

Because he had not expected that the person lurking in the shadows, who had bewitched Shangguan Qinglei and even taken out the Seven Elemental Divine Weapon to spur Shangguan Qinglei into attempting to harm Xi Xi…

Would actually be him!

Peaks rose abruptly from the earth, resembling swords imbued with flowing light, exuding a rampant and domineering Sword Intent!

Standing before Li Che was one of the four Elder's Peaks… Flowing Sword Peak!

Flowing Sword Peak!

The location of the Enforcement Hall of the Divine Sect Golden Light Branch!

Li Che took a deep breath, the air currents around him turbulent, clearly he was also somewhat shocked.

Xu Jiuqing…

It was actually him!

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard reflected this, instantly taking the position where Li Che stood as the Stellar Position, expanding continuously, slowly encircling and enveloping Flowing Sword Peak.

In Flowing Sword Peak, Li Che saw Xu Jiuqing sitting cross-legged.

Black Corpse Qi flames rose up from Xu Jiuqing.

Li Che had initially thought that there might be someone else on Flowing Sword Peak.

But it wasn't!

After several detections, he was certain…

It was Xu Jiuqing.

The Elder of the Enforcement Hall of the Golden Light Branch, was actually… an evil person from the Corpse God Cult!

This undercover act… had actually reached such a high position!

It was, simply put, far too surprising for Li Che.

Originally, Li Che had guessed that the one bearing the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal must have reached the Divine Phase Realm.

The Divine Sect had only four Great Elders and the Sect Master Nan Lihuo as Divine Phase experts.

Since Sect Master Nan Lihuo had been ruled out as a suspect, that left the four Great Elders under suspicion.

Zhang Qing Zheng of Twin Sleeves Peak, Zhu Hong Dou of Red Cloud Peak, Xu Jiuqing of Flowing Sword Peak, and Weng Wuyu of Nanshan Peak!

Li Che initially focused his suspicions on Elder Weng Wuyu of Nanshan Peak.

But speculation is just speculation; he couldn't neglect the other three peaks.

Therefore, Li Che expanded the Heaven and Earth chessboard, continuously lashing out at the Corpse Curse Mark with the explosive power of Immaculate Heart Divinity.

It was as if a deity patrolling the mountain was conducting the search.

Upon investigating Twin Sleeves Peak, Zhang Qing Zheng seemed the least likely suspect, but he did not overlook him.

As expected, there was no response from the Corpse Curse Mark on Twin Sleeves Peak.

Then, it was Red Cloud Peak, followed by Flowing Sword Peak, and lastly Nanshan Peak.

But Li Che never thought…

That he would find the hiding Corpse God Cult rat just after investigating Flowing Sword Peak.

The world suddenly grew dead silent.

Wearing the Cute Bull Mask, Li Che let out a faint chuckle.

He couldn't help but think of that day, the scene where Xu Jiuqing came floating in, escorting the Inner Sect enforcer Zhao Jianmian.

Now that he thought about it…

The other party was clearly probing to see if he had exposed himself due to the loss of the Corpse Curse Mark.

And a righteous Sword Cultivator, who should be upright and unyielding like Li Qingshan, was actually an evil person from the Corpse God Cult.

No wonder he could hide within the Divine Sect for so long.

The past year's act of a thief crying “stop thief” was simply…

Exasperating to no end!

You're so exasperating!

The killing intent in Li Che's eyes was intense.

Thinking of Xu Jiuqing, the real culprit wanting to harm his daughter, flitting before his eyes and masquerading with a feigned façade.

Putting on an air of righteousness, swearing to root out the evil people of the Corpse God Cult…

Li Che's desire to kill him became stronger than ever before!

“A righteous Sword Cultivator's heart cannot possibly belong to an evil person from the Corpse God Cult … those words, at that time, Xu Jiuqing must have been overjoyed in his heart,”

“A sense of pleasure from toying with everyone in the palm of his hand?”

The murderous intent in Li Che's eyes couldn't be concealed.

He now wanted to slay Xu Jiuqing!

His desire to kill was exceedingly strong, impossible to hide, and he also… didn't need to!

What about the greater good?

And not startling the snake by hitting the grass…

Did he care?

For wanting to harm his daughter…

Just kill!

Li Che's eyes were chilling.

In an instant, the snowflakes on the entire Daping fluttered wildly, his toes tapped sharply on the ground, his body shot away and disappeared, reappearing on the branches of an old tree.

Raising his hand, his fingers came together to form a sword, tearing open the air in front of him, and from within he drew out “Namo Fairy Craft Barrett”.

And he swapped the Cute Bull Mask for the Horse Face Mask.

In a mere moment, his aura underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

If the previous Bull Demon's killing intent was unrestrained and hard to conceal, violent and ferocious with a whirlwind of deranged emotions, causing the countless fluttering snowflakes to scatter into a fine powder,

Then now, with the Horse Face Mask, what remained was calmness, a chilling and utterly cold composure.

An excellent sniper requires steadfast composure and extreme calm.

“Xu Jiuqing… In the Middle God Phase Realm, can he be killed?”

“It might not be certain that he can be killed, but…”

“I don't necessarily have to kill you with my own hands.”

“Inside the Divine Sect… if you expose yourself, how can you live?”

Horse Face's eyes were deep and pitch black, like two black holes suspended in the sky, drawing in all light and heat from their surroundings.

Li Che closed his eyes, contemplating the next steps in his battle plan.

Xu Jiuqing…

Was not weak, actually quite powerful.

In the Middle God Phase Realm, a Sword Cultivator with dreadfully terrifying combat power, who also was an expert from the Corpse God Cult with the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal, must surely have transformed into a Cursed Copper Corpse…

This was the most powerful opponent Li Che had encountered so far.

Killing such an existence would be tough, extremely tough.

But, difficulty should not prevent attempts to try.

First, Li Che mentally mapped out his avenues of retreat, attuned to the Thunder Chess Piece; if the assassination failed, he would immediately flee!

He did not inform Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan had just hastily left, looking utterly impatient, and was set to break through to the Divine Phase in three days, but if he acted now during this critical moment and something went wrong…
