Chapter 568: Chapter 567: Coma
At this moment, seeing Bai Ling unconscious, the man couldn’t help but reveal a ferocious smile. His sinister eyes kept shifting, as if he were trying to find some trace on Bai Ling’s delicate form.
"Haha! It’s my first time encountering such a beautiful girl! Not only does she possess a beauty that can topple empires, but she also has the charm to make a man’s soul turn upside down, all these are gifts from the heavens! Hahaha... Today, I must conquer this little girl and make her my plaything for all eternity!"
With a vile smile on his face, the man then slowly squatted down and reached out his hands towards Bai Ling’s delicate body.
"Stop!" Just at that moment, an angry shout echoed loudly.
Hearing this, the man’s expression changed instantly.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
"Who is it?!"
"Kid, don’t play the hero in front of me! If you know what’s good for you, get lost, or else I’ll kill you!" the man said disdainfully.
"Heh... Do you think I look like I’m pretending?"
Hearing these words, the man’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
Then, before him, a young man dressed in a blue shirt appeared.
This person was none other than Liu Zheng.
"Who are you?" the man asked with a frown.
"I’m your grandfather!" Liu Zheng said with a faint smile on his lips and an extremely contemptuous tone.
"What! You dare to offend my master’s majesty! You’re seeking death!" Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, the man immediately erupted in rage, unleashing a towering murderous aura that shattered the surrounding trees and bushes with its terrifying force.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng’s expression also changed slightly, but his eyes didn’t avoid the man’s gaze; instead, they were fixed on him, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Kid! I’m giving you one last chance. Kneel and beg for mercy now, and perhaps I’ll spare your life, otherwise... hehe!" The man sneered coldly before adding, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you! My master is a Ninth Grade Alchemist, if you anger my master, I advise you to go home while you still can!"
Hearing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but let out a snort of derision, "What’s so great about a Ninth Grade Alchemist? Still just an ordinary person with no cultivation to speak of!"
"Good! Very good! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Just resign yourself to your fate!"
As the words fell, the man made to charge toward Liu Zheng.
It was at this moment, Liu Zheng suddenly made his move.
His figure turned into a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the man.
"Thump!"
With a muffled sound, the man’s body was violently slammed against a nearby large tree, blood spurting out, spraying into the air.
"Agh~! Damn it! Damn you, you stinking brat! I’ll fight you to the death!"
Blood kept flowing from the man’s throat, but he still refused to give up, clenching his teeth as he got up and madly lunged at Liu Zheng.
Seeing this, a cold, mocking smile formed at the corner of Liu Zheng’s lips. With a push of his feet, his body turned into a lingering shadow, vanishing from sight once again.
The next second, the man felt a chill at his back, a massive force hitting his spine, sending his body flying backward once more, crashing to the ground in excruciating agony.
"Kid, just who are you?!" Enduring the intense pain in his body, the man looked at Liu Zheng with a face full of horror and shouted.
"You don’t need to know since you no longer have a chance!" In Liu Zheng’s eyes, a deep cold glint flickered as he gazed at the man.
"Damn you, brat! You actually want to kill me! I’ll tear you to pieces, grind your bones to dust!"
Hearing Liu Zheng’s words, the man’s face turned even paler, and then he tried to get up again, ignoring the pain.
But at that moment, Liu Zheng’s figure had already vanished.
Seeing this, the man’s face changed instantly, and he quickly turned around to look, only to find that Liu Zheng’s figure was nowhere to be seen at the spot where he had just been.
Seeing this, beads of sweat the size of soybeans instantly streamed down the man’s forehead.
"Could it be that I’m really going to die here? I can’t accept this!" All over the man’s face was a look of unwillingness and resentment as he gritted his teeth and glared in the direction Liu Zheng had left.
"Kid, even if I die, I will never let you get away with it!" the man said fiercely.
At that time, Liu Zheng was walking straight towards the distance.
Soon, Liu Zheng arrived at a desolate wilderness, where, apart from a few uneven trees, there were no other buildings.
"It seems they must have entered the ancient castle," Liu Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes sharpening:
"That woman, she must be waiting here for my arrival!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zheng didn’t hesitate to rush towards the direction of the ancient castle.
And just as Liu Zheng approached the castle, he suddenly heard a series of urgent footsteps behind him, followed by a strong sense of crisis that suddenly surged into Liu Zheng’s heart.
At that instant, an extreme sense of horror surged across Liu Zheng’s face; he wanted to look back but found that he couldn’t move at all.
"No... don’t kill me... please, spare me!" At that moment, the fear in Liu Zheng’s heart reached its peak, and he could only beg desperately.
However, the only response was the sound of those urgent footsteps, and then everything before his eyes went dark, and he passed out.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and to his surprise, he found himself lying on a soft couch, with the surroundings being completely opposite to what he had observed before fainting.
"This..." Liu Zheng was somewhat bewildered.
"Young Master, you have finally awakened!"
Just then, a somewhat elderly voice suddenly rang out, and soon after, Liu Zheng saw two familiar figures flash before his eyes and quickly appear in his line of sight.
Those two figures were none other than the old man who had led the way for Liu Zheng and his daughter-in-law.
"Father, Mother, what place is this? Why am I sleeping here?" Liu Zheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"This is an ancient castle!"
"What? How could I possibly come to such a place?"
Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, you are too naive. This is the Immortal Realm!"
"Immortal Realm?"
"Yes!" the old man nodded slowly and continued, "This is the Immortal Realm."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng’s face stiffened with shock. He was utterly astounded that he had managed to enter the Immortal Realm. This felt even more surreal than a dream.
"How... how is this possible? Am I dreaming?"
"Ha-ha, Young Master, you are my lifesaver. If not for you, I would have been obliterated long ago; how could I be sitting here chatting with you?" the old man said with a light laugh.
