139: Master is an expert!
🕑 Added 2024-12-24 15:45:11 +0000 UTC"What do you mean?" the emperor asked, his expression turning unsightly.
They had been elated when they first heard his words. With the Heavenly Martial Country growing increasingly aggressive, they believed that with this man's aid, they could finally retaliate. But instead of helping them, this guy had come to plunder them?!
"Enough!" Fang Zhou suddenly interrupted the emperor, pointing at Yun Wuji with a look of disdain. "Fool! I thought you had something to say but to think you're just here to court death!"
When he first heard Yun Wuji offering his services, Fang Zhou felt uneasy and uncomfortable. He also thought that Yun Wuji wanted to become the Country Preceptor, which went against his interests. An additional Divine King Realm powerhouse joining the country would compromise his benefits, after all, nearly all the valuable resources had been poured into him to keep him there.
He enjoyed the best treatment in the country, and his status in some ways surpasses even that of the emperor.
"Courting death? Nah, I'm far too handsome for her—she's the one courting me," Yun Wuji said with a shake of his head. Then, his gaze locked onto the finger pointed at him. "I'll only say this once; I hate people pointing their fingers at me. Put it down, or else..."
"Otherwise what?" Fang Zhou interrupted Yun Wuji with a mocking laugh, his anger bubbling to the surface. "Are you going to kill me?"
He couldn't stand this man's casual arrogance. How dare he take him lightly? He was Fang Zhou, the strongest person in the Eastern Frost Country! His reputation was well-known throughout the entire East Territory, yet this unknown guy dared to look down on him?!
'Another one who loses it after just a few words, sigh,' Yun Wuji shook his head internally. He could never understand why these cultivators were so easily angered. Weren't people in his previous life always saying that meditation was the best way to calm the mind?
These guys spent hours meditating every single day for most of their lives, so why were they so damn emotional and quick to lose control?
Facing Fang Zhou's contemptuous attitude, Yun Wuji shrugged casually and replied, "Well, if you're so desperate to die, I'll help you. Besides, I can always take your wealth after killing you."
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Yun Wuji flashed and appeared directly in front of Fang Zhou. A black sword, formed from dark profound energy materialized in his hand, and without hesitation, he thrust it toward Fang Zhou.
Illusory Devil Tome of Eternal Night - Jet Black Sword
Fang Zhou's pupils shrank. Despite being on guard, Yun Wuji's attack was far too fast, unbelievably so. In that critical moment between life and death, his body instinctively shifted to the right.
Swoosh!
The black sword grazed his chest, cutting a sharp wound. The wound didn't bleed; instead, it darkened, with the flesh around it turning charred black.
"You!" Fang Zhou shouted, his voice trembling with both fear and rage. At the same time, bewilderment filled his mind, how could someone at the 2nd level of the Divine King Realm possess such terrifying speed?!
"Sigh, I miss this feeling..." Yun Wuji exhaled, savoring the pleasure of bullying others with his talent. Compared to the desperate situations he faced with Qianye Ying'er or the perplexing circumstances with Luo Guxie, he found far more enjoyment in this.
His body turned into a streak of black light as he shot toward Fang Zhou once more!
"Wait! We can talk this through!" Fang Zhou quickly defended himself, retreating as he shouted in panic.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yun Wuji didn't reply. His attacks grew fiercer; from the very beginning, he never planned to spare this man's life. Leaving him alive would only create unnecessary trouble.
Who knows if he would call his distant friends for help, or even pay a price to invite some acquaintances? It's better to just kill him now to prevent all of this from happening in the first place.
"Agh! Why... why...?!" Finally, after a few more rounds, Fang Zhou was pierced by Yun Wuji's sword and died with wide eyes. His final thought was, Why did this man want to kill him so much?!
Yun Wuji gripped his body and forcefully opened his pocket world. A flood of valuable treasures exploded from within, and he skillfully caught them and stored them away.
"...!!!" The emperor, Dongfang Zhuo, and his courtiers watched in shock, their eyes wide and hands trembling. Their Country Preceptor had actually died just like that!
As they watched this man skillfully ransack Fang Zhou's body, a chill ran down their spines. How many people had he killed and robbed to become this skilled?
When he finished, Yun Wuji discarded the body and clapped his hands.
Despite his cultivation being lower than this pitiful fool's, he never entertained the thought that he would ever lose.
Because he possessed the veins of a true devil, not just any devil, but a sovereign among them!
The Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was the ruler of his Devil clan, exceptionally strong even among devils. Those in this era who inherited the power of gods had only received a faint trace of the original divine power, let alone the full strength of a true devil like him.
When it came to completion, this inheritance was far more complete than the Heretic God's veins. Not only did he inherit the bloodline and veins of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, but he literally inherited everything about him, even his strength. As long as he continued to recover, his power could eventually return to the level of True Gods!
Naturally, when a true god faces a mortal, even if their strength isn't fully restored, they can still crush them effortlessly. four or five levels of difference mean nothing to him.
Although this body couldn't compare to his main body or the Heretic God body, he could still dominate other mortals with ease.
"Alright, now that the nuisance is out of the way, can we talk about my offer?" Yun Wuji turned his attention to the emperor, a gentle smile on his face.
"..." Seeing his smile, all the ministers involuntarily took a step back, creating a clearing with only the emperor standing. The emperor forced himself to calm down, hurriedly bending down as he spoke with sincerity and fear. "Young master, it is this little emperor's greatest joy to make use of your 'services.' Please come in; we will prepare everything you need!"
"Hmm, it's indeed much easier to speak with smart people," Yun Wuji nodded with satisfaction and followed the emperor into the palace.

Bang!
Inside the Primordial Ark, the white cocoon burst open, releasing strands of white light that scattered around before slowly fading away. Yun Wuji slowly opened his eyes and stood up, the sound of cracking bones echoing as he moved.
"Master! You finally woke!" The moment he appeared, Hei Xiaolian rushed over and hugged him, tears in her eyes. She had been so anxious when Yun Wuji faced Qianye Ying'er, but she was unable to do anything to help him. All she could do was watch as he burned his precious blood essence just to barely escape.
The situation at that time had been incredibly dangerous. If he had been unlucky, and that woman had arrived just one second earlier, Yun Wuji wouldn't have even had the chance to perform the blood escape a second time. Or if she had managed to detect the aura of his true body among the four auras, he would have been long gone!
"It's alright, don't cry, I'm safe now," Yun Wuji patted her head and said gently.
"Hmm, master, when you're stronger, you have to punish her and make that bitch pay the price!" Hei Xiaolian rubbed her head against his hand, her voice filled with anger. "You should cripple her cultivation and tie her up, then..." Her expression grew more excited as she spoke, detailing various indescribable plans to 'punish' Qianye Ying'er.
"Alright, alright, we can talk about that later!" Yun Wuji's face twitched the more he heard her, and after a while, he couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted her.
"Hmm! How could I forget? Master is a true expert in this field! Telling you what to do is like an amateur showing off in front of an expert!" Being interrupted, Hei Xiaolian tilted her head, slapped her forehead, and said with a tone of admiration.
"..." A black line appeared on Yun Wuji's forehead. What did she mean by an 'expert'? Was she praising him or insulting him? The only "SM plays" he had ever done were the roleplays with his wives!
However, seeing her innocent expression, he decided to let it slide this time.
For the Evil Infant, Yun Wuji still couldn't tell if what she was showing was her true self or if she was just acting, but deep down, he hoped it was the former.
In reality, he didn't have to be too wary of her. Before coming to this world, Yun Wuji hadn't read the latest chapters, so he didn't know the truth about the Evil Infant.
Suddenly, Yun Wuji noticed something and looked at her suspiciously. "Is it my imagination, or did you grow taller?" His eyes scanned her tiny body as he spoke.
"Ehh?" Hei Xiaolian suddenly stiffened, but after a moment, she shook her head and chuckled. "No, master is just imagining things~"
