Chapter 250 - Su Luxi (37) (1/2)

'Just because I couldn't stand up for years, people already forgot I used to rule the dangerous mountains in the borders.' He clicked his tongue.

”How dare you!” The bloody-faced Creator angrily snarled at him.

Jiang Li distanced himself a bit from the other, seizing a spot where his back faced the retreating group. If the old bastard tried to sneak attack them again, he could easily intercept. He doubted if the other would do that though. Currently, the Creator was dying to kill the Goddess' prophet. He would certainly shower him with deadly strikes.

”You are not in your optimal state because the barrier is keeping you from using power greater than what this world could withstand. Isn't it amazing? Your Creation is being faithful to its feature. Let me guess. You would have been not trapped and would become freer to use divine power if you have just not recently awakened and not inside a fake avatar.”

”Why can't you just die peacefully without causing any trouble? What do you think are you doing?” The man spoke full of resentment. He was trembling from both anger and annoyance. One of the organs in the midsection just got turned into a mess of flesh and blood inside so he was really feeling uncomfortable.

A reply came from Jiang Li just when he was vomiting red like a faucet. ”What am I doing? Acting like a villain, the pig eats tiger type who then becomes the talking to death type.”

”You must die!!!” Behind the man, the other monks and rebels finally caught up. They all raised their weapons and charged at him Other soldiers from the imperial side climbed up to cross swords with them.

”Prophet!!!” One of the monks not engaged in battle went to Marcus' side, extremely shocked at how he looked right now. The bald man did not recognize the Creator since the red-haired guy's eyes were tightly shut, his hand covering his mouth which kept producing blood like a faucet.

Looking at the one before him, pity was showing in Jiang Li's eyes since a talented man would die just like that. Marcus Lilac had visited him before, and he found the person worthy of admiration. Yet in the previous life, that guy died from the crown prince's retaliation. He got executed because evidence of House Lilac's rebellion was found out before the coronation. In this life, Marcus would be dying from being made a vessel of the unreasonable god.

”I'm sorry, but you have to fail,” Jiang Li murmured.

To be honest, his own magic power had been drained by the counter summon and the maintaining of the wall of ice earlier.

This was why when he joined the battle, he relied on the martial arts and black arts learned from the witch of Jiang Ying Yue's world. These were skills he didn't neglect even when he was busy learning sword skills and magic spells. The martial art was the reason why even though he was supposed to be having difficulties adapting to his legs when he cured it a month ago, the sense of discomfort was actually kept to the minimum.

'I acc.u.mulated all the mental energy so I can cast it here.'

It was fortunate that the Creator had not left Marcus and that he was at best only on par with Jiang Li or any other generals in this world due to the physical body's limitation.

Jiang Li had a few bouts with the other. The Creator was creating weapons of all types on the spot and attacking through them. He was purely relying on qinggong and martial arts, a weird set of moves that both intrigued and annoyed the opponent. One time when the Creator was caught off guard, he chanted something.

He just cast a spell usually used by witches from Zhou Dynasty to attach a soul to a dead body.

Didn't the Creator want a mortal's shell so he could kill him and wreak havoc here? As a good guy, how could he not help him realize his wish, especially when he had the means to do so?

The Creator, whose part of a soul suddenly got locked inside the dying vessel, stiffened and then hurriedly retreated. Jiang Li did not pursue him.

Instead, he breathed deeply and went after the Pope's group.
