Chapter 495: Kang Yan’s New Dao (1/2)
Liu Yan wasn't entirely stupid. He had heard of that phrase before in the modern world.
When he heard the meme quote from Miaomiao's mouth, he got goosebumps. It implied so many things!
First, Miaomiao was from his world!
Secondly, he had done something to his body!
Liu Yan kicked the ground and leaped away from Miaomiao. He spread his Qi sense and Soul Qi in his body, examining his conditions.
Then, he finally discovered the anomaly.
95% of his Soul Qi and Elemental Qi were gone!
Moreover, something that had been attached to his soul ever since he had transmigrated here was gone!
Still, nothing else was out of the ordinary. There was no injury.
”Hahahaha! I was worried for a second. You can't simply mimic the Legend, Mao Miaomiao!”
”Really?” Miaomiao shook his head. He stopped pursuing Liu Yan.
Suddenly, Liu Yan sensed that he couldn't control his Qi and weird fire elemental Qi inside his body.
They didn't belong to him! The Qi's signature belonged to Miaomiao!
”!!!”
BOOM
Liu Yan's body erupted in flame. Even though his soul physique should have been immune to fire, his body slowly dissipated into ash.
Yet, Liu Yan didn't seem to be afraid of death.
”Hahahaha! I see. So you must have stolen my Qi and replaced it with your elemental Qi. I must say, nice try!”
While Liu Yan's arms, legs, and torso were broken to pieces and was burned to ash, he sneered at Miaomiao.
”You might have won, but you can't kill me! Hahahaha! System, set the next respawn location to this stage. I want to be resurrected and continue the fight!”
”…”
Miaomiao and Fang Yanxu stared at Liu Yan, waiting for something to happen. However, the fat man's remaining torso and head were reduced to ashes.
Liu Yan couldn't even hear or see his system notification. Before his consciousness disappeared, he still believed in his fighting chance and his foolproof victory method.
Unfortunately, the guy never realized that he had lost the most precious artifact and all his luck.
…
Miaomiao took several deep breaths to stabilize his dantian. Stealing the Soul Qi from the 9th-stage cultivator wasn't an easy task. He didn't have Killer Queen's assistance, and Liu Yan's energy pool was as deep as the sea.
Still, the winning condition had already been met.
Ding
[You have stolen Liu Yan's Heavenly Fate Fragment.]
[You have stolen a broken Soul of Pangu Online's Player.]
Ding
[You have completed the quest, Devil's Request: Protagonist Hunt – Liu Yan.]
[Your system will be upgraded after you fall asleep.]
The previous attacks from Miaomiao earlier were for this. First, he stole Liu Yan's luck energy until nothing was left.
As Liu Yan's luck was no more, the fat man made a mistake by disabling his soul domain ability and attempting to bully Miaomiao. Moreover, the mysterious artifact became loose.
Miaomiao simply latched onto Liu Yan's back and stole all the latter's Qi and the artifact. Once everything entered the former's soul dantian, he let out excess energy as Holy Flame Qi, injecting them back into Liu Yan's dantian.
After that, he pressed the bomb switch.
”I wish all protagonists are this easy to kill.”
…
”…”
Meanwhile, Fang Yanxu frowned and stared at the pile of ash in disbelief. The crowd was silent, and the people from the Liu Clan on the box seats stood up in shock.
Liu Hanzhen, who was one of the contestants of the Holy Land Tournament, also raised his eyebrows.
Liu Yan was a sibling from another mother. However, from Liu Hanzhen's perspective, the former wasn't this weak.
It was well-known among the Great Liu Clan that Liu Yan's strongest ability was his invincibility and his monstrous cultivation speed. He was always lazy, lecherous, and selfish. Yet, among the clansmen, his combat strength was only second to Liu Hanzhen.
How could he be killed by a 6th-stage weakling?
Why didn't Liu Yan self-resurrect like how he always did when they sparred?
”Who is this man, trash?” Unable to figure it out, Liu Hanzhen turned to Liu Xuande, who had been crawling on all four, acting as his human chair.
Liu Xuande only glanced at the arena, ”Mao Miaomiao, the nasty guy that we tried to kill but failed.”
”Tell me more.”
”I already told you several times, but you didn't listen!”
Liu Hanzhen stood up and turned around. He kicked Liu Xuande to the guts, ”Tell me again!”
”…”
Liu Xuande gritted his teeth as he retold the stories about Miaomiao.
…
”Winner, Mao Miaomiao…”
Fang Yanxu reluctantly declared Miaomiao as the winner of the match even though he was confused. Even an immortal like him couldn't explain how Miaomiao killed a 9th-stage cultivator.
Miaomiao snorted and opened his palm. Then, he wiggled his fingers, ”Where's my treasure troves, my belongings, and that asshole's belongings. You get to keep what you killed, right? I want all of that bastard's properties, assets, and manpower. Give them to me.”
”…”
Fang Yanxu turned to Karen, who was inside the VIP box room. The latter only waved her hands, allowing the former to deal with it himself.
Fang Yanxu hesitated. Still, he returned Miaomiao's items and passed a token of Liu Yan, which the latter had deposited most of his belongings.
”Your rewards are stored in the Liu Clan's Bank. You can show this token to the Great Liu Clan's headquarters and claim his items, subordinates, slaves, and other belongings.”
”In short, you ask me to commit suicide.”
”The Great Liu Clan isn't that petty. They won't do something as stupid as that.”
”Ha! I doubt it.”
Miaomiao put on his clothes and looked around. Then, his eyes met with Liu Hanzhen, who had been emitting strong killing intent.
He grinned and raised a middle finger at Liu Hanzhen. The latter squinted his eyes as if he knew what the gesture meant.
”Anyway… SWAN GODDESS, AM I QUALIFIED TO ENTER THE CLAN LORD TOURNAMENT YET?!”
After everything was resolved, Miaomiao immediately demanded her approval. As she had looked down on him earlier, Miaomiao wanted to repay the favor by face-slapping her in public.
Karen clicked her tongue. As stubborn as she was, she bellowed. Her voice echoed in the arena.
”Mao Miaomiao must win the Holy Land Tournament first before he can enter the Clan Lord Tournament!”
Uriel and Azazel glared at Karen. They also intentionally voiced out, allowing everybody to hear.
”If you're this bias against one person because of his low cultivation base, we shall cease our support to this planet! Lord Joshua and the Devil will no longer protect this public planet from Samsara, Kishin Douji, and Outer Gods!”
The threat made Karen and other immortals nervous. Although this planet was a mortal world under Karen's Constellation Sector, Macho Joshua and Devil's presence were irreplaceable due to their Heaven Realm's political influence and strength. Without them, Karen's territory might be invaded by other greedy Dao Gods.
Without a choice, Karen swallowed her pride and corrected her stance.
”That was a joke. Mao Miaomiao, the Lord of Aves Continent, has the qualification to enter the Clan Lord Tournament.”
”Good.”
Uriel snorted and punched the tinted glass window, opening a way for Miaomiao to enter the room.
”…”
Karen's servants that were in charge of maintaining the arena cried. After Miaomiao entered the room, they quietly replaced the windows.
But suddenly, Miaomiao recalled something. He turned back to the stage, where Fang Yanxu was still lingering there. Then, he blasted through the window and rushed to the KFC immortal.
The workers were in tears. They calculated the price of tinted glass windows.
Fortunately, Azazel gave them a piece of 1st-grade soul stone. Then, she chased them away.
”Don't repair the windows for the time being. Actually, remove all the windows. We want some airflow in here.”
The workers happily accepted the piece of soul stone and began removing the windows.
Miaomiao returned to Fang Yanxu, ”Father-in-law, where is Fang Meirong? Has she come with you?”
”…”
Fang Yanxu frowned and waved his hand, shooing him away, ”She is resting in her quarter. Also, the matter about your marriage hasn't been decided yet.”
