Chapter 110 - 110: Underestimated the Enemy, the Moment of Death!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Yidao, who had just figured things out, turned around and was about to leave!
Wasn’t it just losing a hundred years of lifespan for a failed mission?
“I’ve got plenty of lifespans now!”
“I don’t care!”
Li Yidao wouldn’t mind if they had a good talk and both sides were honest about their cooperation.
After all, he had to investigate as well.
At the same time, he wanted to make use of them.
But now, it was obvious that Unit 36 had pushed him out.
Even if they did have the intention to rope him in, they definitely had the mentality of wanting to use him! This was not something he could accept!
He had a rebirth!
What Li Yidao could not accept the most was being used!
He took out his phone and planned to call Qi Yuqiang directly to terminate all cooperation.
He had already decided to resolve this matter himself!
But…
Just as he turned to leave the side hall, a smiling old monk, dressed in robes, approached.
With hands pressed together, he said, “Amitabha, benefactor, please stay.”
Li Yidao, who had just taken out his phone, was taken aback when he saw the monk.
A dense, eerie black aura enveloped this abbot.
“Benefactor has a connection with the Buddha. Would you kindly join me in the guest hall?”
Li Yidao stood still without saying a word.
His gaze silently met the old monk’s.
[Ding! Detected a super high-quality customer, ID: Wisdom Light.] [Death Status Detection: Death due to prolonged curse erosion, death probability 100%.]
[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the super high-quality customer.]
This old monk was actually a super high-quality customer?
Li Yidao furrowed his brows.
He looked at the monk’s robes and could tell that he was the abbot of the temple.
Even he had been cursed?
And not just that, but 100% death probability?
“Benefactor? Would you like to have a discussion in the guest hall?”
Seeing Li Yidao remain silent, the old monk smiled again.
And at this moment, Li Yidao seemed to have realized something, a faint smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.
He answered softly, “Sure.”
Five minutes later, in a clean guest hall, incense wafted gently on the breeze, creating an environment of tranquility and purity.
However…
As Li Yidao stepped into the guest hall, a barely noticeable chill flickered in his eyes.
As expected, it was right here!
He once again felt that strong and eerie aura, just like when he had first entered the temple.
Li Yidao knew that the cursed item was most likely here.
He didn’t know for sure yet whether it was related to the abbot in front of him..
but it was highly likely!
“Benefactor, please have a seat. The guest hall is rather humble. I hope you won’t mind.”
The abbot, with his hands pressed together, pointed to a meditation cushion nearby, maintaining a serene smile on his lips.
Li Yidao smiled and nodded.
But he didn’t choose to sit down.
No way, he had already sensed the eeriness here.
Should he really sit down?
If something were to happen, it might be too late to escape from a seated position, right?
Not knowing if the abbot had read his thoughts, he didn’t say anything.
Instead, he walked over to the incense table on the side and relit three sticks of incense.
However…
As the three sticks of incense were lit, Li Yidao couldn’t help but feel something was off.
An inexplicable alertness within him told him that things weren’t right.
The fragrance of incense was no different from before!
But…
He still couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off!
Subconsciously, he adjusted his position, ensuring he stood near a ventilated area in the room.
He tried his best to avoid inhaling the incense. Seeing his movement, the abbot paid no mind.
He started by reciting a brief scripture.
Then, he turned toward Li Yidao with a faint smile.
But this smile was completely different from the previous one!
“Benefactor… do you think I can still live?” A sudden statement!
It left Li Yidao stunned in his tracks!
A chill surged from his feet to his head!
It wasn’t just fear prompted by the question!
It was more about the abbot’s expression and gaze!
Where was the previous benevolence?
And there was another thing, the abbot’s voice…
It seemed different!
It became very strange!
Li Yidao forcibly calmed himself down!
He had guessed right. This abbot in front of him was absolutely not normal!
“Benefactor? May I ask… can I still live?”
Seeing Li Yidao stand still without responding, the abbot took another step forward.
His eyes had turned mocking, and his tone had grown strange!
At this moment, Li Yidao suddenly felt a trace of fatigue!
Subconsciously, he bit his tongue to stay as alert as possible!
Did he fall into a trap?
He was planning to run!
But…
The moment he tried to take action, he felt like his legs were carrying a ton of weight!
He couldn’t lift them at all!
At this moment, even he was somewhat panicked!
It was too bizarre!
He thought there might be unexpected situations!
But he never thought the other party could possess such an uncanny ability!
Originally, he had thought that a cursed item might cause him to lose lifespan and such through curses.
But now, it wasn’t just making him feel dizzy.
The other party could even control his movements?
He had underestimated the enemy!
Recent system skills like Hand of God and Blade of Death made him somewhat overconfident.
But at this moment, Li Yidao couldn’t think clearly.
Clearly, the abbot had just lit those three sticks of incense, and he was standing near the ventilation.
He could barely smell it.
Why did he still get affected?
“Benefactor… if I were to have your lifespan… could I survive?” By now, the abbot was only half a meter away from Li Yidao!
That eerie voice entered Li Yidao’s ears once again.
This sentence left Li Yidao so shocked that he couldn’t speak!
“F*ck! Your motherf*cker!”
Li Yidao immediately cursed!
Without a second thought, he unleashed the Blade of Death skill directly at the old monk before him!
He couldn’t move right now, but he didn’t need to touch others with the Blade of Death skill!
But…
Li Yidao didn’t notice the system prompt that appeared when using the skill.
It was ten times the lifespan consumption!
The moment Blade of Death was activated!
Li Yidao felt a wave of weakness throughout his body!
But he could move again!
Ignoring the abbot’s terrified gaze as he stood still, he took a step back, just exiting the current guest hall.
The dizziness and eerie sensation vanished in an instant!
“Phew…”
Li Yidao gasped for air heavily.
He could sense that if he hadn’t used the Blade of Death at the last moment, he would be the one standing still now, not the abbot before him!
A few minutes had passed, the breeze brushing against his sweat-soaked clothes.
Li Yidao felt a deep chill.
That was a close call…
It was just a tiny bit away!
Subconsciously, he checked his remaining lifespan.
Thankfully… only ten years of lifespan were consumed.
Looking at it this way, this old monk probably had only one year of lifespan left?
But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. Li Yidao had seen the black aura swirling around him before, likely representing the dwindling days of his lifespan.
He took a deep breath once more.
Li Yidao slowly resumed his steps, and prepared to enter the guest hall.
After all, the abbot before him had lost his life force.
There shouldn’t be any danger for him to go in.
But…
What Li Yidao never anticipated was at the moment he stepped in, that previous sensation of dizziness struck again!
NO!
It couldn’t be called dizziness. It was a kind of soul-deep control!
As if someone was manipulating his soul, controlling his every move! Luckily, Li Yidao was well-prepared!
The instant he felt this suffocating sensation, he quickly retreated!
He looked into the guest hall with a grim expression.
It was not right!
There was definitely something wrong inside!
Could it be the cursed item?
Suddenly!
As if he had realized something, Li Yidao’s gaze locked onto a corner inside the guest hall!
So, it was here!
