Chapter 308: Unfinished Role (1/2)
As if someone had KAMEHAMEHAed, a massive light beam devoured the lich, disintegrating the undead lord into dust.
As for Liu Bian, he didn't have a chance to utter a word. Because of Lu Fengxian, he suddenly could not use his Qi, take out items from his inventory, or ask his dao god sponsors for help. The light slowly burnt him to charcoal.
Ding
[Your sponsor said, ”Thank you for completing your role. I appreciate your service. Now, it's time for me to claim my prize.”]
[”Oh, be a good bait for me. Thanks again for doing business! I won't be seeing you again!”]
Ding
[Kishin Douji has terminated his support.]
[Yuan Hua has terminated her support.]
[Your sponsor has stolen all your Qi!]
[Your sponsor has stolen all LUCK in your soul meridian!]
[Your sponsor has stolen all items in your system inventory!]
[Your sponsor has injected your empty heavenly fate piece with unknown energy!]
[Your sponsor has tried to steal your system!]
[The system has been merged with your soul. Your sponsor failed!]
Ding
[Your sponsor complains, ”Ah, you little shit. Why did you have to merge that shitty system with your soul!? Anyway, I'm done with you.”]
[Your sponsor has terminated his support.]
”NOOOOOO!!”
Liu Bian's heart sank. At long last, he realized that he was tricked.
It was too late for him to beg Miaomiao and others for mercy. The Star Light Breaker burnt his blood and dantian, slowly disintegrating him into ash.
At the last moment, a hand grabbed Liu Bian's neck and pulled him into a shadow pocket dimension world.
…
Wang Yun pulled the half-dead Liu Bian from his shadow. Then, he glanced at the death knights.
”Order them to stop, and I'll spare your life.”
”…”
Liu Bian's consciousness was fading, but he was sober enough to think for his life. He ordered the death knights in his mind.
300 remaining death knights stopped moving. They reformed ranks, standing attention and facing Wang Yun and Jia Shan's group.
Ju Shoufen reverted back to her human form and panted. Then, she glared at the Caucasian man, who had revealed his true appearance during the fight.
”Why are you saving this asshole!? He's the cause of all this!?”
”We can't kill him.”
”I GIVE YOU 10 BREATHS TO EXPLAIN! OTHERWISE, WE'LL KILL YOU RIGHT HERE!”
Jia Shan and Ma Ping pointed their weapons at Wang Yun. They, too, had the same question.
Wang Yun frowned and sighed. He decided to reveal his motive, ”Liu Bian carries the Liu Hong's bloodline. We need it to unlock the true dimensional portal to the royal clan's treasury.”
The elders were surprised. They widened their eyes for a moment before their eyes reddened in anger.
”SO YOU'VE BEEN HELPING THIS SNOTTY BRAT BECAUSE OF THE TREASURES!?”
”Stop yelling, please. Anyway, what if I tell you that it relates to the secrets of Immortal Liu Ji, the patriarch of the Holy Land's Liu Clan?”
Jia Shan and Ma Ping squinted their eyes. They patted Ju Shoufen, stopping her from doing anything drastic.
Ma Ping faced Wang Yun, ”What secret? Unless it's worth it, we will kill both you and Liu Bian here.”
”Alright, alright. This might take a while. For now, can we leave this plane first? The environment and the death Qi around here is suffocating.”
The elders nodded. They escorted Wang Yun and the half-dead boy to the center of the low plain.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Fengxian and Ma Moxi were out of breath. They flew toward the nearest south mountain range and collapsed.
Hua Xiong landed next to Lu Fengxian, watching over his new boss.
Ku'er, who had been observing the battle from afar, rejoined the group. She reverted back to her Loli Miko form and sat next to Ma Moxi.
As for Miaomiao, he flew toward the location where the lich was turned into dust. Then, he picked the green staff that the lich had been using.
It was still glittering in green light.
Without saying anything, Miaomiao stored the staff in his system inventory and regrouped with the boys. As soon as he landed on the mountaintop where Ma Moxi had been resting, the former also collapsed on his back.
”Ugh, I'm fucking tired.”
Ma Moxi's face distorted, ”You hardly fought today. How come you're tired? I should be the one complaining since I soloed that Lich for several minutes!”
”Try shooting SLB back-to-back as I did. Do you know how many liters of Essence I wasted?”
”No clue. How many?”
”Two freaking billions liters.”
”Get outa here. My dantian can store 10 billion liters, but I could hardly gather a billion liters! How the hell did you procure so much essence!?”
”I ate a lot of essence cores.”
”You… used essence cores to refill your essence!? Why didn't you use pills!? It's a lot cheaper and more efficient!”
”Because I'm batman.”
”…”
Ma Moxi sighed and laid on his back, looking at the starless sky, ”Pay to win bastard.”
”I'm your boss, and your clan is still working for me. Do you still want your next month's pay!?”
