Chapter 1162: The Mysterious Taoist Reappears
October 12th, 2017
Bingzhou, Beifeng, City Lord's Mansion.
As Lu Hai Kong focused his attention on NiuNiu's Dragon Serpent Tribulation, he was unaware that several uninvited guests had arrived near his Beifeng City.
Of course, he might never know who these uninvited guests were, as some of them had already been taken care of by someone else on Lu Hai Kong's behalf.
On a certain mountain peak, an elderly Taoist with an otherworldly aura halted his steps towards Beifeng upon seeing another Taoist on his path.
In a forest, a middle-aged Taoist appeared out of thin air, and before him stood a middle-aged man holding a long sword.
In a valley, a Taoist was walking when a spear descended from the heavens and pinned itself in front of him.
A Taoist, a swordsman, and a long spear had appeared during NiuNiu's ascension, blocking three uninvited guests for Lu Hai Kong.
Although these three were stopped, it was evident that NiuNiu's advancement had attracted more than just them. Aside from these three, others were also making their way to Beifeng City without any hindrance.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong was unaware of the situation outside the city, as his attention was solely on his daughter.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes shone with a golden glow, and he glared at NiuNiu, who recklessly chased after the tribulation clouds and was eventually struck by a purple lightning bolt, falling from the sky.
Lu Hai Kong had intended to rush over, but when he realized that the purple lightning had not caused much harm to NiuNiu, he stopped. His expression was stern, devoid of any concern.
After raising NiuNiu for several years, Lu Hai Kong had fully embraced the role of a father.
When this little girl got injured from her reckless actions, Lu Hai Kong felt more pain than anyone else. But once he confirmed she was unharmed, he immediately assumed the role of a strict father.
Just as Lu Hai Kong was about to scold the little girl for her recklessness, a figure suddenly appeared near the City Lord's Mansion, specifically near NiuNiu.
As soon as this person arrived, their gaze fixed on NiuNiu, completely ignoring Lu Hai Kong and Princess San beside her.
"Oh, a Dragon Serpent Tribulation at this time, and it actually succeeded? How interesting, very interesting indeed!" The person stared at NiuNiu, who was currently paralyzed from the purple lightning, with unconcealed possessiveness in their eyes.
This was a live dragon, a treasure trove from head to tail! If he could obtain such a dragon, he could extract its essence, consume its flesh, and utilize it to enhance his cultivation, possibly reaching the level of those individuals.
The thought of this made him unable to resist. Ignoring Lu Hai Kong, he reached out and grabbed towards NiuNiu.
"Seeking death!"
Upon seeing the Taoist's action, Lu Hai Kong immediately flew into a rage. Not only had he been ignored, but this person dared to bully his daughter right in front of him. How could Lu Hai Kong tolerate this? With a thought, a phantom of the Emperor Cauldron flew towards the intruder.
"Hmm? A Human Plane Divine Artifact? Interesting. I didn't expect you to create such a thing in such a short time."
"That person glanced at Lu HaiKong's Emperor Cauldron illusion with a slanted eye, a playful smile tugging at his lips. 'Although this Human Plane Divine Artifact is impressive, you haven't officially claimed the title of King yet, have you? Without a proper name, your words carry no weight. And without the support of words, your power remains unformed. This might scare off others, and it's barely sufficient to deal with those who have just Broken Mortality. But it's far from enough to deal with me!'"
As he finished speaking, he clenched his fist in the air, aiming at the illusion of the Emperor Cauldron. In an instant, a massive emerald hand materialized out of thin air, gripping the illusion. With a sharp 'crack', the Emperor Cauldron was crushed to pieces!
This scene shocked both Lu HaiKong and Princess San, and they immediately recognized the Daoist technique being used.
"The Primordial Breath Arresting Hand... is that you?"
Princess San's eyes flashed with insight. From the moment this Daoist appeared, she had felt a vague sense of familiar loathing. But it wasn't until he made his move that she recognized him. "Isn't this the guy who showed off outside Beifeng City a year ago and was struck down by the System?"
Lu HaiKong was taken aback. "Is it really him? But didn't he die?"
Although he hadn't witnessed the previous incident, he had seen the aftermath of the System's attack. Logically, the man should have been killed, so how could he appear here now?
Moreover, the technique he had just used clearly surpassed the capabilities of a hundred-realm existence. Why hadn't the System punished him?
"So, you've recognized me. It seems I left quite an impression on you. But from now on, your impression of me will be even deeper!" The Daoist let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, a giant emerald hand materialized and reached out to grab Lu HaiKong and Princess San.
In an instant, Lu HaiKong and Princess San, enveloped by the Primordial Breath Arresting Hand, felt their breaths hitch. They were immobilized, as if pinned down by nails, unable to move a muscle.
This attack was evidently far beyond the strength of a hundred-realm cultivator. Even Lu HaiKong and Princess San seemed powerless against it.
What made Lu HaiKong even more uneasy was that, despite the severity of the situation, the System still showed no response.
"Damn it! What's going on with the System? This guy has already attacked to this extent, why hasn't the punishment come yet?"
"Oh? Are you still hoping it will save you? I must say, your idea is a bit naive. That thing is indeed a formidable existence, but the rules it sets are not absolute. It killed one of my external incarnations before, and in its perception, I should be dead. In other words, I'm a non-existent person in its eyes.
To put it in 'Mr. Qin's' words, I'm its bug. I don't quite understand what that means, but it seems like it won't interfere with my actions. Well, at least not for half a shichen.
And half a shichen is a long time, enough for me to do what I want. But rest assured, I won't kill you. After all, if I do, it will immediately notice me. However, taking something from you is fair game. So, please lie down and behave!"
As he spoke, the Daoist waved his hand, and the Primordial Breath Arresting Hand hanging above Lu HaiKong and Princess San violently slammed down upon them!
