Chapter 1404 - Chapter 1404 Chapter 689 Guidance (Two in One)

Chapter 1404: Chapter 689: Guidance (Two in One) Chapter 1404: Chapter 689: Guidance (Two in One) “You can’t exactly put it that way.”

Tang Luo bore an amused expression, feigning humility as he waved his hand. “Ning Bufu still has some strength, and if it doesn’t involve fighting to the death over a Divine Artifact, he could still be a competitor for another couple of years. What a pity! Hahahaha.”

This was a powerhouse known on the hero’s stage, a knife wielder of unmatched talent, yet it seemed he had died helplessly at this person’s hands.

His unimaginably young age and formidable strength had created an unimaginable impact.

Struggling to keep his heartache from bleeding out, Cao Ziqi forced a smile.

At last, having finished laughing, Tang Luo spoke seriously again, “Originally, my business with the Yun Family should have ended here, but unexpectedly, they put forth another request– they want me to take care of Young Master Cao too.”

Beneath Cao Ziqi’s boundlessly horrified gaze, Tang Luo pointed to the two corpses on the ground and reiterated,

“Just this kind of taking care,” he explained with notable benefits. “They said not only will the Crimson Divine Armor and the Ghost King Compass become mine but they will add another Divine Artifact! Isn’t this just a joke!?”

With suffocated joy emerging in his eyes, Cao Ziqi managed to ask, “Did you not agree?”

“Of course, I didn’t!”

Tang Luo crossed his arms over his chest, stating as if it were the most natural decision in the world, “Young Master Cao is a direct descendant of the Beast Taming Sect of Long Valley, a direct relative of the Old Beast King, a biological brother of the current Sect walking among us, and possesses both the Crimson Divine Armor and the Ghost King Compass. A figure like him couldn’t possibly be valued the same as these two!”

“Absolutely, absolutely!”

Overjoyed, Cao Ziqi nodded repeatedly, finding Tang Luo suddenly much more agreeable.

“So I told the Clan Leader Yun that if they want Young Master Cao taken care of, they would need to up the payment!”

“Wha.. what?”

The severe swing of emotions caused Cao Ziqi’s facial muscles to twitch, his body involuntarily starting to shiver.

“Hey, don’t let Clan Leader Yun’s feminine appearance fool you; she’s actually a straightforward person.”

Tang Luo shrugged helplessly but with a hint of excitement added, “Did you know? In Longyuan, there indeed exists a Human King inheritance from the ancient sage Yun Zu!”

Boom–Cao Ziqi’s mind went blank, and instinctively he thought of stepping back but was immediately locked in by a piercingly cold murderous aura.

“Don’t panic, I haven’t decided yet, but if you make any more rash moves, there will be nothing I can do.”

Tang Luo remained majestically seated on the stone bench, his face expressionless as he continued, “After all, the terms offered by Clan Leader Yun are very tempting; I’m not sure I can resist…”

It felt like a block of ice was sliding up from his tailbone, but aside from his spine, Cao Ziqi’s entire body felt slightly warm, his breathing grew heavy, and God’s Residence ached faintly, his soul desperately wanting to leap out.

He had heard from many elders of the Beast Taming Sect that warriors would instinctively react both physically and spiritually when faced with extreme danger.

In such a state, a warrior’s reaction speed is astonishing; even barely-mastered Spirit Arts can be performed effortlessly, the construction of Spiritual Power models is terrifyingly fast, making it most suited for battle.

Yes, Cao Ziqi believed all that, but it also depended on who the opponent was.

Can a lamb, invigorated with a shot of adrenaline, defeat a languid tiger?

Such judgment did not seem like it came from someone sane.

Though his own cultivation was not very strong, he was after all a direct descendant of the Old Beast King from Long Valley; he had some discernment.

Just from Tang Luo’s palpable murderous intent, he could vaguely sense that this man could be stronger than his brother, Cao Daochen.

And he had tested it before– even wearing the Crimson Divine Armor, facing his brother was merely a question of how quickly he’d be unresistingly killed.

Now, even though he had the Ghost King Compass, he didn’t believe that at this distance, he stood any chance against this master of body techniques.

Cao Ziqi’s rigid body didn’t stop his mind from racing, realizing that if he couldn’t deter Tang Luo’s killing intent, he would certainly die today in the Minor Spiritual Realm.

He had to persuade Tang Luo to abandon this dangerous idea of killing him in exchange for a Divine Artifact.

“I… I am a direct descendant of the Cao Family; if you kill me, the Beast Taming Sect will not let this go lightly!”

“Clan Leader Yun said that this is Longyuan, a Minor Spiritual Realm isolated from the Great Thousand World. If you were killed here, nobody would know.”

Cao Ziqi urgently said, “If I died in Longyuan, the Beast Taming Sect would certainly investigate thoroughly, and eventually, it would lead back to Longxi!”

“Clan Leader Yun also said that the Yun Clan’s face-changing technique is the best in the world. She would transform into Young Master Cao and, under the watchful eyes of the Chengzhou clans and the Fire Department, would go out and fight alongside me, and then…”

Tang Luo looked Cao Ziqi up and down, snapped his fingers, and spoke lightly, “Young Master Cao would just disappear somewhere, and how could the Beast Taming Sect trace it back to me?”

Could she have really thought all this through? Such a vicious heart!

Cao Ziqi felt immense hatred inside, gritted his teeth so hard they might crack, yet still stubbornly said, “The extents of the Beast Taming Sect’s reach are beyond your imagination; some Beast Kings have uniquely profound talents, and they would definitely be able to trace it back!”

“Is it really that powerful?”

Hearing this, Tang Luo seemed to hesitate slightly.

This filled Cao Ziqi with great joy; he hastily asserted with gravity, “Three Realms Holy Land has its unfathomable methods!”

“If it’s that powerful, how come they still haven’t caught the person who killed Cao Jinyu after all this time?”

Tang Luo caught the inconsistency, frowning. “You’re not bluffing me, are you?”

A monster, why the fuck do you need such sharp insight!

Feeling like crying but without tears, Cao Ziqi cursed inwardly, feeling an intense pain on his face.

But since he had spun the story this far, how could he just concede defeat now?

“Ziqi would never dare deceive you, Young Master Tang!”
