You Promised to Be an Idle Son-in-Law, How Could You Become a Land Immortal?

Chapter 393: Chapter 251: How Dare You Kill Me?

In truth, Chen Yi had arrived here long ago.

It was just that when he arrived, he happened to run into Zhao Shichang, who had come to inform Lv Jiunan of something.

He’d overheard a message delivered by Zhao Shichang:

"My lord instructed me to inform you that you must find Asutai, dead or alive."

However, before Lv Jiunan could reply, the Wooden Man detected Liu Lang in the distance, setting off an alarm.

Chen Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret over this.

While Liu Hong was, just as he’d deduced, furious over Asutai’s disappearance, Chen Yi had wanted to hear what further arrangements Liu Hong and Lv Jiunan would make, only to be interrupted by Liu Lang.

There was nothing to be done.

Chen Yi had no choice but to first get Zhang Dabao settled, then rush back to watch the battle between Liu Lang and Lv Jiunan.

And that was what led to the current situation.

At this moment, after hearing Chen Yi’s words and glancing at Liu Lang confronting Liu Tianming, Lv Jiunan spoke in an ice-cold tone:

"I don’t care who you are. The next time we meet, I will take your life!"

The moment he saw Chen Yi appear, he knew he couldn’t stay here any longer.

Putting aside his own identity and his cooperation with Liu Hong and Lin Huai’an, Chen Yi’s strength alone was enough of a threat.

It didn’t matter that his own Cultivation was a major Realm higher than Chen Yi’s, or that he had cultivated his Black Magic to the Great Success Realm.

When fighting a Spearman at the Perfection Realm, such a small gap could easily be erased by the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism.

Lv Jiunan was keenly aware of this fact.

So, before the words had even left his mouth, he flicked his wrist, sending the Wooden Man charging toward Chen Yi.

The scarecrows, brandishing their silk threads, also gathered before him to block Chen Yi’s path.

He then turned and fled.

Watching him go, Chen Yi shook his head and chuckled. "Thinking of leaving now? Don’t you think it’s a little late?"

As he spoke, he reached out with his right hand and drew the Five-section Spear from his left arm.

With a light flick, the sections of the spear snapped together as one.

The moment the Long Spear was in his hand, the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism surged toward him like a tidal wave.

A terrifying power erupted from Chen Yi, blasting out in all directions.

It sent the attacking Wooden Men flying and blew the scarecrows and their silk threads into a tangled mess before him.

Feeling the immense pressure from behind, a chill shot down Lv Jiunan’s spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He glanced back over his shoulder, his expression growing even more grim.

For some reason, as he looked back at Chen Yi, who still hadn’t moved from his spot, a sense of dread washed over him.

’I’ve already used my full strength to flee for a great distance,’ he thought.

’But I still feel like the moment that figure moves, I’ll be—’

’Dead!’

Lv Jiunan swallowed subconsciously. Snapping out of his daze, he gritted his teeth and pulled several items from his robes.

He threw them out indiscriminately.

With a series of CRASHES and POPS,

wisps of black smoke rose into the air within a hundred-yard radius.

The acrid smoke instantly corroded the surrounding buildings, eating pockmarks into them.

It ate through brick, tile, and metal alike.

Even so, Lv Jiunan was still terrified.

As he fled, he roared, "Liu Wu, I’m warning you, don’t push it!"

"Do you have any idea who I really am?!"

Chen Yi stared at him without blinking, completely ignoring the poisonous fog.

His Spear Dao drew upon the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism, locking firmly onto Lv Jiunan’s position.

"Your identity? A horse bandit from Poshisu Country? Or some little Peacock under the Peacock King?"

As he spoke, he took a single, effortless step forward.

BOOM!

Thunder cracked through the dark clouds above.

Lightning flashed.

It snaked down from the clouds in a bizarre arc, striking right where Lv Jiunan was.

Lv Jiunan seemed to sense something. He looked up, his face a mask of pure horror.

"You... How could you..."

Chen Yi, who had been miles away just a moment ago, had seemingly ridden the lightning bolt to appear directly in front of him.

Chen Yi regarded him with a faint, unreadable smile, ignoring his shock. He just gave his Long Spear a light swing.

——Dragon-Falling Spear: Soaring Dragon Slash!

KREEE!

A clear dragon’s cry echoed in all directions.

Along with it, a golden dragon soared from the tip of the spear, merging with the lightning in the sky.

Instantly, a dragon of gold and silver light circled twice above Chen Yi’s head before shooting straight for Lv Jiunan.

Its surging, tyrannical might completely suppressed him.

Lv Jiunan felt the pressure crushing down on him. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t move a single step. A deep chill filled his heart.

His eyes nearly bursting from their sockets, he stared at the dragon and roared, "I am the blood brother of King Landu! A Grand General under the Peacock King! How dare you kill me?!"

But these words only made the smile in Chen Yi’s eyes grow wider.

"King Landu’s brother, you say? That’s even better!"

Before he’d even finished speaking, the shimmering gold-and-silver dragon whistled through Lv Jiunan’s body.

The dragon’s phantom head turned to look back at him, its tail just emerging from his back, making it seem for an instant as if it had grown from his very body.

Then, with a deafening BOOM, it exploded.

Countless streaks of golden spear light and silver lightning shot out in all directions.

The look of fear on Lv Jiunan’s face froze. He tremblingly raised a finger to point at Chen Yi, his heart filled with the ashes of despair as he spoke:

"You... you... will surely... die..."

"I... I’ll be waiting... for you... in the afterlife..."

The moment the words left his lips, he fell backward, his breathing as faint as a silk thread.

Chen Yi flashed forward to catch his body, then glanced over at Liu Lang and Liu Tianming.

He saw that they hadn’t even started fighting yet.

Liu Lang and Liu Tianming faced each other from a distance, but both were staring in his direction.

Chen Yi couldn’t help but laugh. Holding Lv Jiunan with one arm, he waved to Liu Lang with the other.

"Since you’re feeling so charitable, why don’t you go ahead and retreat?"

Liu Lang snapped out of his trance. "Oh, right," he muttered, sheathing his long blade and running over.

Liu Tianming didn’t dare try to stop him. His aged face was a mask of astonishment as he stared blankly at Chen Yi.
