Chapter 137: I’ve Wanted To Destroy You For A Long Time (2/2)
”I'm the Heaven Demon Sect’s Zheng Hefei. If this friend is willing to help me once… I, Zheng Hefei, hereby swear…”
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Mo Wuji directly interrupted Zheng Hefei's words, ”One, I can't save you. Two, I still want to live for a few more years.”
Zheng Hefei coughed unceasingly and did not continue to plead for Mo Wuji to save him. Perhaps he knew that Mo Wuji's words were true. With his current condition, even a Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner might not be able to save him.
”If you tell me why Dong Lun was chasing after you, then perhaps I might give you a proper burial and your corpse will not get devoured by demonic beasts. I'm sure you have heard this before, if your corpse gets eaten by demonic beasts, it would be hard for you to reincarnate.” Seeing Zheng Hefei remaining silent, Mo Wuji took the initiative to talk. Regarding the difficulty reincarnating, it was all a story which he fabricated.
He had a bit of interest in the place which Dong Lun and Zheng Hefei found. The Five Elements Desolate Domain truly had good stuff, he bad personally seen it.
Zheng Hefei constantly coughed out fresh blood, Mo Wuji did not mind and continued to wait quietly. Previously when he said that he couldn't save Zheng Hefei was indeed words of truth. With his current capabilities, he truly couldn't rescue Zheng Hefei from his current predicament.
”OK… I'll tell you… But if you ever have the opportunity… You must definitely pass the jade flute in my storage bag to my Heaven Demon Sect's junior apprentice sister Yang Yingping. Tell her that I have already met my end in Five Elements Desolate Domain…” Zheng Hefei had already put in a lot of his effort to say all of that.
”I agree. In the future when I think that I'm powerful enough, I can help you with that,” Mo Wuji said lightly. Before he had the capability, he would not even think of helping Zheng Hefei.
He didn't think that this Zheng Hefei would be such an emotional person, to think about his lover right before he died.
Even though he understood the meaning of Mo Wuji's words, Zheng Hefei did not bother arguing as he continued to stutter, ”... From here, walk in the North-east direction for a day's time… You can see an ice mountain… There…”
Before finishing this sentence, Zheng Hefei's head cocked to the side, his breathing stopped completely.
Dead? Mo Wuji cautiously walked over and felt his pulse. Zheng Hefei was truly dead. He casually retrieved the storage bad from Zheng Hefei's waist. Thereafter, he dug a pit and buried Zheng Hefei within it.
As for Dong Lun's meat juice, Mo Wuji couldn't be bothered to deal with it.
After keeping his Tian Ji Pole, Mo Wuji ascertained the north-east direction before unhurriedly running over. His cultivation was low, so if he met an expert like Zheng Hefei and Dong Lun, he would undoubtedly die. Thus on his journey, Mo Wuji was extremely careful.
One day later, Mo Wuji stopped. He did not see an ice mountain, but he did see a Lightning Leopard.
The Lightning Leopard was like the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile, it attacked using lightning. Unlike the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile, the Lightning Leopard attacked primarily with electroballs while the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile mainly used lightning bolts.
The Lightning Leopard also had another characteristic: It was extremely fast.
Naturally, Mo Wuji stopped for the lightning to open his meridians. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Channel Opening Stage Level 8 and had met with a bottleneck. For a typical cultivator who met with a bottle, perhaps they might use a spiritual will to advance into Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Thereafter, cultivate for a few more years before using pills to enter Spirit Building.
If not for Mo Wuji having huge ambitions, he could easily use this method to advance into Spirit Building. He had opened 61 meridians and was completely capable of cultivating into the Spirit Building Stage.
Now that Mo Wuji could open his meridians, he naturally would not dig his own grave with such a method. He had long decided that his target would be the maximum possible number of meridians. If he was outside, he could use the lightning tempering room to perforate his meridians. Now in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he was simply unable to find a proper lightning source. Now that he spotted a Lightning Leopard, how could Mo Wuji let it go? He was not going to let the Lightning Leopard attack him like the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile. That would be unrealistic and unsuitable.
The Lightning Leopard attacked using electroballs which would not be suitable for Mo Wuji to open his meridians. The reason why Mo Wuji blocked this Lightning Leopard was because there would definitely be a lightning source where this Lightning Leopard lived.
Only places like the Thunder Fog Forest’s lightning lakes would be suitable for the Lightning Leopard to cultivate. Now that a Lightning Leopard appeared, there would definitely be a lightning source.
Even though the Lightning Leopard was a Class 2 demonic beast, which an ordinary Channel Opening Stage cultivator could never hope to beat, under the provocation of Mo Wuji's spiritual will, it immediately ran away.
Mo Wuji's cultivation was low, but his spiritual will was strong. He could use his spiritual will to pressure the Lightning Leopard and intimidate it. Demonic beasts were extremely sensitive to aura and power. The moment Mo Wuji's spiritual will came bounding over, the Lightning Leopard subconsciously took a few steps back and knew that Mo Wuji was not an easy opponent.
The demonic beast’s fighting spirit suppressed its urge to run away as it shot an electroball towards Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was least afraid of lightning attacks. He raised the Tian Ji Pole and swung it towards the electroball.
”Hong!” The electroball split apart into tens of electric arcs which landed on Mo Wuji's body.
