Chapter 180: Harvesting Japan! True Dragon! Kirin! Mission Accomplished! (Part 1)
Chapter 180: Harvesting Japan! True Dragon! Kirin! Mission Accomplished! (Part 1)
"Ding~"
With a muffled sound, Wu Xingyun merely flicked her finger, and Ti Shitian's ultimate move, the Ultimate Divine Slaughter, was broken. The Divine Soul Sword rebounded, transforming into a divine soul that merged with his physical body.
Ti Shitian: "!!!"
His lips twitched, and he remained silent, no longer resisting.
Damn it! Ti Shitian cursed inwardly.
He had realized that these people were not ordinary humans; each one was more extraordinary than the last, and they might even be gods from heaven! His proud ultimate technique, in their eyes, seemed like a child's playfight, and even with his full effort, they merely observed and critiqued calmly.
This was too demoralizing!
And too defying of the heavens!
Facing such powerful beings, he had no room for resistance.
It was better to be honest.
Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.
Even if he died...
At least, he could die more comfortably.
"What do you want from me?"
Ti Shitian sighed helplessly, "Just tell me, and I'll do it for you."
"Why are you tormenting me like this?"
"If I fulfill your instructions, can you let me live?"
"That's probably not possible," Lin Fan shook his head. "But I can make your death more bearable."
Actually...
He was also speechless.
Ti Shitian wasn't this weak.
After living for over two thousand years, protected by Phoenix Blood, and having learned various martial arts, he indeed had the qualifications to contend with a Sixth Realm expert in a real fight.
Wu Xingyun had only recently entered the Sixth Realm, so although she was stronger than Ti Shitian, the difference wasn't significant.
The problem was that Ti Shitian had been 'scared'.
He knew that he and his companions were powerful.
Therefore, he didn't even consider using other martial arts and immediately unleashed the Four Sacred Heart Tribulations.
However, the Heavenly Heart Tribulation, the Evil Blood Slaughter, and the Ultimate Divine Slaughter were considered defying heaven in the martial arts system, but in the cultivation system...
It was indeed like bringing coals to Newcastle.
These techniques were somewhat 'clever'.
But they were useless against cultivators!
Cultivators with strength wouldn't be afraid of their hearts stopping abruptly. The Evil Blood Slaughter? Blood flowing in reverse? Sorry, demon cultivators already had similar techniques, and they were far more refined.
The Divine Soul Sword?
You, a martial artist, want to compete in soul strength with us cultivators?
Are you kidding?
Ti Shitian's move was like using his weakness to attack their strength.
However, he didn't realize this himself.
But even if he knew, the outcome wouldn't change.
Facing such a luxurious lineup, not only a Sixth Realm expert but even a Seventh Realm cultivator would have to kneel and surrender.
Hearing Lin Fan say he would let him die comfortably, Ti Shitian heaved a sigh of relief, "Fine, ask whatever you want to know, just go ahead."
"There's just one condition."
"After you're done asking, don't torment me anymore."
His mental defenses had already collapsed.
Whether it was life or death, it no longer mattered.
He just wanted a quick end!
"How do you resurrect?" The group asked immediately.
"Also, how are you connected to human heart pulses?"
"That..."
They asked one after another.
In the end, Ti Shitian helplessly said, "So... you don't have any questions other than the Sacred Heart Art?"
No matter what they asked, it was all related to the Sacred Heart Art!
As expected, you all came for the Sacred Heart Art, right? Helpless, he passed the Sacred Heart Art to Lin Fan and then...
He was silenced.
He didn't even resist.
In his opinion, these guys were too bullying!
It would be better to just die quickly!
"According to what he said, the Phoenix Blood in his body can grant longevity..."
Huo Kun Lun took action, waving his hand to extract all of Ti Shitian's blood, refining it with his fire, and said, "I have a secret technique that can extract the Phoenix Blood..."
Su Yan was surprised, "This secret technique is usually a demonic cultivation method, right?"
"Do you know it, Senior?"
Huo Kun Lun felt embarrassed, "Cough, this..."
"In this world, having multiple skills means more opportunities."
"Moreover, it's not the technique that's good or bad, but the user."
"I'm not targeting you, Senior. I'm just speaking my mind." Su Yan scratched his head.
Under everyone's gaze, Ti Shitian's blood was quickly burned away, and his body was also incinerated, leaving only a dark red and extremely dense mass of Phoenix Blood.
"According to Ti Shitian, the Phoenix Blood of this world can grant longevity..."
"But he himself only lived for over two thousand years, so the claim of longevity might not be trustworthy."
"I wonder what benefits we cultivators would gain from consuming it?"
"Hmm~!"
Xiao Long Nu shook her head, "If you want to drink it, go ahead. I won't drink it."
"It's separated from a human body, what's the difference from eating a person?"
"I don't eat people."
Xiao Ling'er: "???"
"Huh?"
Xiao Long Nu realized, looking a bit dazed, "Oh, right? I'm not a human."
Everyone: "..."
Huo Kun Lun couldn't help but laugh, and then he handed the Phoenix Blood to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Ling'er.
After a slight hesitation, she nodded, "It should be usable as a medicinal ingredient, and since it's Phoenix Blood, the effect should be good, but..."
She also felt a bit repulsed.
Refining this would be a problem for whoever consumed it.
"How about..."
Zhu Rou Rong raised his hand, "If none of you want to consume it, can I have it?"
"I'll use it to make feed for the pigs."
Huo Kun Lun, Lian Bo, and the others couldn't hold back their laughter, their faces twitching uncontrollably.
Phoenix Blood!
To use it as pig feed...
That's a bit too much, isn't it?
But upon further thought, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his eyelids either.
After all, the current knowledge of this Phoenix Essence only extended one's lifespan and increased cultivation.
Increasing cultivation... with Xiao Ling'er's Herb Pill, this effect wasn't important.
Moreover, the effect of increasing cultivation wasn't very significant either.
As for prolonging one's lifespan, they didn't need to consider that aspect for the time being.
Furthermore, they were not evil outsiders, and the idea of 'cannibalism' made them somewhat resistant.
Only Mud Bodhisattva watched Zhu Rou Rong take away the Phoenix Blood, sighing and groaning, patting his thighs in distress.
"That's Phoenix Blood!"
He sighed.
How desperately had the First Emperor yearned for immortality?
If he could obtain Phoenix Blood...
"What's so special about Phoenix Blood?"
"Hmph." Little Dragon Maiden shouted, "Old man, quickly calculate for us, where are the Fire Phoenix and the True Dragon?"
"And those top-notch powerhouses!"
"..."
Mud Bodhisattva dared not disobey and quickly nodded, "Just a moment, I'll immediately deduce for you all."
"I know about the Fire Phoenix, it's said that within the Cloudsoaring Grotto, when the water submerges the Buddha's knee, the Fire Phoenix will appear."
"As for the True Dragon, I need to calculate further."
"Top-notch powerhouses..."
"Laughing Three Thrice's family??"?" Halfway through his calculations, Mud Bodhisattva suddenly exclaimed.
"That's wrong!"
"He..."
"He's here!"
"It's him who ate the Black Tortoise!"
Mud Bodhisattva shivered.
Immediately, a powerful aura swept over.
Laughing Three Thrice appeared...
He had lived for over four thousand years, and his cultivation was unfathomable.
Originally, he had been in seclusion for many years without appearing, but today, sensing an impending crisis, he came to investigate.
But...
This investigation left him bewildered.
"You are..."
"Finally, someone interesting has arrived."
Dragon Aojiao was excited, "Come, let this girl witness the charm of the Martial Dao!"
Laughing Three Thrice: "???"
Before they could exchange more than two sentences, a battle erupted.
Dragon Aojiao went all out! Laughing Three Thrice fought desperately.
However, he was still no match.
The two fought in the sky, battling until the sun and moon lost their light, and the earth quaked.
In the end, Laughing Three Thrice exhausted all his means, yet he couldn't defeat Dragon Aojiao, and was thoroughly suppressed by her.
Peng!
Laughing Three Thrice was bound by Dragon Aojiao's secret technique and thrown in front of Lin Fan.
"Not bad."
"Fighting with a master from a different system indeed has its unique flavor."
Dragon Aojiao expressed that she felt a little refreshed.
But Laughing Three Thrice was completely dumbfounded.
How could I, an old man, be defeated like this???
Even at this moment, he was still a bit dazed.
"Are there more masters?"
Lian Bo also became interested and asked Mud Bodhisattva, "..."
"His two sons are also 'Immortals', inheriting the Black Tortoise bloodline."
"Where are they?"
Mud Bodhisattva calculated, "They're also on their way here."
Su Yan: "???"
He was stunned.
"Wow, it can't be that they all came because of me, right?"
Lin Fan looked at him, their gazes met, and the former smiled slightly.
Lin Fan saw that Su Yan, this 'scented bait', had worked, but there was no doubt that the outcome was good.
It saved a lot of time~
"Speaking of which, Laughing Three Thrice's family is quite something."
"There's no doubt that Laughing Three Thrice is a righteous person, but his two sons are one worse than the other."
"The most important thing is..."
"He's not weak, but his mentality is rotten to the core."
"But the current problem is, how should we deal with Laughing Three Thrice's family?"
"Kill them?"
"Or..."
Just as they were pondering, Laughing Three Thrice's two sons arrived.
"Old man, you've finally met your match?"
Seeing Laughing Three Thrice bound, they not only didn't feel sad but were extremely excited.
Laughing Three Thrice could only smile bitterly.
Seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes spun.
"Laughing Three Thrice is also a rare good person. Killing him like this would be a pity. It's a pity. The best solution is to make him useful to us."
"Whether it's bringing him back to the Moon Embrace Sect or letting him help manage the Fengyun Realm, he'll be of use..."
"But wanting to subdue him won't be that simple."
"Right now, there's an opportunity."
The battle had already erupted.
This time, it was Lian Bo fighting two opponents alone.
He was quite familiar with the 'Martial Dao System', but there was still some distinction between Martial Artists and those who understood the Dao. He was fighting, and at the same time, wanting to comprehend some beneficial insights for himself.
But even the discerning observers could tell that Lian Bo, fighting two opponents alone, still held the advantage.
Seeing this, Laughing Three Thrice chose to remain silent.
However, Lin Fan didn't let him have his way, sitting beside him and saying, "I also have some understanding of your family's troubles."
"In the beginning, you traveled the world to counter the Thousand Autumn Tribulation, often away from home, and your two sons developed resentment. They found the Chaos Four Absolutes and the Ten Thousand Dao Senro that you hid at home.
But at that time, these two martial arts were not perfect, and practicing them rashly could affect one's temperament. Your two sons, unaware of this, practiced these two martial arts, and as a result, they became more and more extreme and twisted, eventually falling into the demonic path."
"After that, they even wanted to get rid of you, their father, as soon as possible."
"You, as a father..."
"You eventually softened."
Lin Fan sighed.
In his opinion, Laughing Three Thrice had more than one opportunity to kill his two sons.
But he softened.
And because of this, they had the chance to go to Japan and establish a sect, becoming the main antagonists later on.
However, he wasn't one to talk without considering the situation, nor did he like to criticize others from a moral high ground.
After all, they were Laughing Three Thrice's sons, and he probably felt a sense of guilt towards them.
"What do you know?" asked Laughing Thrice.
He was certain these people had issues!
But he couldn't understand how they knew so much about his personal matters.
"I know quite a bit," Lin Fan said, slightly spreading his hands. "No need for idle talk. I won't say more, but these years must have been tough for you, right? Self-blame on one hand and immense pressure on the other."
"However, I'd like to help you."
"What about your two sons? How do you plan to handle them?"
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, we can help."
"Should we just kill them to eliminate future troubles?"
"Or..."
Lin Fan didn't even need to think; he knew Laughing Thrice would choose the latter.
Initially, Laughing Thrice had indeed intended to do so, but by the time he was ready to act, his two sons had already established themselves, making it not as easy as he had hoped.
"Do I have a choice?" Laughing Thrice asked, clear-headed.
He wondered why they would help him when they had no connection to him.
"Yes, of course," Lin Fan nodded. "But if I help you by disabling their martial arts, consider it a small favor. So, you should also help me."
"Rest assured him, "Rest assured, we won't violate the principles of the martial world or your sense of justice."
In fact, Lin Fan quite admired people like Laughing Thrice.
They had achieved longevity and immense power but didn't abuse their strength or cause chaos.
Instead, they upheld justice and fulfilled their responsibilities...
Although they had some flaws, their virtues far outweighed their shortcomings.
It would be best if they could be recruited.
"I agree to your terms. Please help me disable their martial arts," Laughing Thrice said.
"..."
After he finished speaking, Laughing Thrice added, "Be ruthless. They have good talent and destiny, but if you're not harsh enough, they might repeat their mistakes."
The Big Boss and the Great Demon Lord weren't surprised by this choice.
They just smirked, "What a great father you are."
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
"Come on, disable our martial arts!"
Laughing Thrice fell silent.
"Sigh."
He sighed helplessly, "Little friend, I'm counting on you."
"Lian Bo, did you hear that?" Lin Fan asked.
Lian Bo immediately took action, not holding back.
Before long, the martial arts of Laughing Thrice's two sons were disabled. Their meridians were severed, and their cultivation bases were destroyed, eliminating any possibility of them resuming their cultivation paths.
"Hahaha," the two laughed bitterly.
"Old man, are you satisfied now?"
"I never thought that after so many years, it would end like this."
"What a pity, what a pity!!!"
They regretted their actions.
Lin Fan released Laughing Thrice from his bindings.
The latter stood up and walked towards his two sons, embracing them.
"All the mistakes are mine."
"From now on, live a good life."
After saying this, he used his own cultivation power to send them away.
Lin Fan and the others just watched calmly, not stopping him.
A moment later, Laughing Thrice sat down in front of Lin Fan, looking dejected. "Well, what do you want me to do?"
"I, Laughing Thrice, keep my word..."
"There's no need for that," Lin Fan said, helping him up and smiling. "For you, it's not a bad thing."
"You also have two choices. First, stay here and control the martial world and the martial arts circle."
"Second, leave with us and join my sect. Become an elder and help cultivate martial disciples."
In this miniature world, reaching the Seventh Realm was already impressive. Laughing Thrice's talent needed no further explanation.
Although he cultivated martial arts instead of martial dao, his skills were so refined that they were almost on par with the dao.
If he was willing to cultivate martial dao in the Immortal Martial Continent, Lin Fan wouldn't mind finding some martial dao techniques for him. Then, he would truly become a powerful martial artist!
In the future, the Moon Embrace Sect could continue to grow and recruit disciples with martial talent. Such an opportunity was indeed rare.
"Control the martial arts circle?"
"Join your sect?"
Laughing Thrice pondered, "Why do you want to control the martial world? To oppress the common folk and bring chaos to the martial world?"
"Your sect, which sect is it?"
"I've already said I won't go against your sense of justice," Lin Fan assured him. "My sect is called the Moon Embrace Sect. From now on, this world will be our sect's secret realm. In the future, our disciples will continuously enter this world for trials."
"We need a stable and reliable martial world!"
"Trials..."
Laughing Thrice fell silent, repeatedly muttering the word 'trials' but unable to form a complete sentence.
Dragon Aojiao and the others didn't rush him.
They had acknowledged Laughing Thrice.
At the very least, they recognized his strength.
After all, he had achieved such power in a miniature world, not the Immortal Martial Continent.
The difficulty of his cultivation was likely no less than reaching the Eighth or even the Ninth Realm in the Immortal Martial Continent.
Such a person deserved the respect they were offering.
However, if a direct conflict had erupted between them, no matter how talented he was, they would have no choice but to deal with him.
"If we're going to use this world as a trial, does that mean treating the entire world as playthings and even killing the innocent?
