With a smile on her face, Chen Yun looked angry as she looked forward.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You dog thief! I have no enmity with you in the past days, nor do I have any grievances with you in the present days. Why did you secretly attack me?"
After saying that, he pretended to cough, spewing out even more blood.
The robust man seemed to have the upper hand, and he wasn't in a hurry to kill Chen Yun.
Or perhaps he had other intentions.
The brutish man, with a lecherous expression on his face, said, "Of course, I have my reasons. If you want to know, I'm not unwilling to tell you, but it will require you to comply and assist me in doing something."
Chen Yun's face was filled with anger as he said, "Not a chance! I have long since cultivated to the late stage of the human realm. How can I be so easily defeated by a fellow who is only in the middle stage of the human realm? I will definitely crush you into nothingness, and you will never be reborn in this world!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
The robust man seemed to have found something amusing and was laughing happily on the other side, as if he had heard something funny.
He watched Chen Yun with great joy and said, "Now that your celestial energy is exhausted and you are severely injured by my sneak attack, what ability do you have to kill me? Moreover, the 'Law of Creation' within the moon-day cave restricts your power, even at the peak of your human realm later stage. Even then, you are not significantly stronger than me, as I have achieved enlightenment by specializing in cultivating my body!"
Chen Yun seemed to be hit by the words spoken by the other party, and his expression turned ashen.
He extended his trembling fingers and stammered, "You... you..."
"What are you talking about?" The bulky man's smile faded and he glared at Chen Yun, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to surrender or endure some flesh wounds and be beaten into submission by me?"
Chen Yun clenched his fists with determination.
He said with a face full of anger and sorrow, "Even if I die here, I will never surrender!"
After speaking, Chen Yun, "in a hurry," muttered to himself while his hands moved rapidly.
A distant mountain, ablaze with fierce flames, was stirred by him, uprooted from the ground in one go, blocking the sunlight. With boundless power, it roared and crashed towards the robust man.
The robust man didn't even attempt to dodge.
He let the mountain smash into his body.
A thunderous crash!
The moment the mountain touched the robust man, it seemed to explode like dynamite, shattering into countless giant rocks that rained down from the sky.
Chen Yun pretended to escape by turning into a beam of golden light heading westward.
The robust man snarled with a cruel laugh, "Where to run?"
Without making any pursuit moves, he simply reached out his hands in the air.
A powerful suction force came.
Chen Yun could naturally withstand it.
However, he needs to pretend that he is exhausted and has been severely injured in the current situation.
Therefore, he pretended that he couldn't resist the suction force, and his body flew backward.
The robust man was also a fierce person. Upon seeing Chen Yun being grabbed back by him with great force, he immediately controlled it and threw it heavily to the ground.
Again, a thunderous crash!
Chen Yun was slammed deep into the earth.
He had been calculating the "injuries" he needed to show the other person. He immediately caused a few cuts on himself, spat out more blood, and his eyes became fearful.
The "disguise" was just finished.
He saw a beam of white light moving at an incredible speed towards himself from the sky.
The robust man rushed up in an instant and then swung his fists with a gleaming white light, wildly firing left and right.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
The continuous, resounding thud, like striking steel, echoed endlessly within the heavens and earth.
Chen Yun kept up with the screams, "Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah!" as if he was really beaten up badly.
Finally, after countless punches, Chen Yun "couldn't hold on" anymore.
"Hold on!"
"Hold on!"
Chen Yun, who had been pounded into the ground's magma, screamed in terror, "I know I'm no match for you now, but let me die with a clear conscience. Who are you and why are you doing this?"
"Hehe, your little Taoist boy has finally surrendered?" The robust man stopped punching, looked at the disfigured Chen Yun, and narrowed his eyes, saying with a smile, "It's no trouble to tell you who I am and why I did this. You're already a dying man!"
He said, extending his hand, plucked Chen Yun out of the magma and flew him straight into the ground.
He casually threw Chen Yun onto the ground from a height, looking down with an air of pride and said, "Why did you act so proudly and suffer unnecessarily if you knew you would end up like this?"
Lying there, covered in blood from head to toe and barely conscious, Chen Yun asked weakly, "Who... are you? Why are you doing this?"
"Don't worry." The robust man, like a cat playing with a mouse, said with great interest, "First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhen Qiang, and I have achieved enlightenment in a small world dedicated to cultivating body power."
Chen Yun had long known about the existence of the multiverse.
The development path in different small worlds is quite different.
The person named Zhen Qiang lives in a world dedicated to body cultivation. As a result, the upper limit of his world is relatively lower.
That means this person should be among the top in his own world.
In fact, this information is not important.
He wanted to let the other person speak out of joy and pride, revealing the method to obtain the "qinglong".
"As for why I am doing this..."
Zhen Qiang hooted, "The reason is very simple. I want to use you to obtain 'all the homes' or the 'green light', which is the 'Qinglong'."
Chen Yun was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Use me to obtain the Qinglong treasure?"
"You're already a dead man, so it doesn't matter if I tell you." Zhen Qiang truly let his guard down, speaking carelessly, "To obtain 'All Homes' or the Qinglong treasure is actually very simple. It requires sacrificing a Taoist immortal. Of course, I can't sacrifice myself. So for the past two or three centuries, I've been waiting for an immortal to come along and take the Qinglong on their own initiative. Unfortunately, those immortals either didn't notice the existence of 'All Homes' or saw it and gave up because they thought they couldn't get it. I haven't had a chance to strike until now."
He spoke enthusiastically, laughing, "Thankfully, there's still an idiot like you. You didn't measure up to your capabilities and tried to obtain 'All Homes' relying solely on your own strength. As a result, you expended all your celestial energy and became vulnerable to my ambush. Haha, how foolish you are."
"Oh, so that's it." Chen Yun's face wasn't as pale, and his tone was clearly more composed than before. "You mean to have an immortal burned to death by the Qinglong lamp in order to take it down smoothly?"
"That's right." Zhen Qiang didn't realize the gravity of the situation and went on, "The 'All Homes' burns immortals to death. The spirit of the artifact absorbs enough celestial energy as well as the essence of immortals. It will no longer be violent and can be easily controlled by others."
Understood!
Chen Yun finally understood why the other person had been ambushing him from behind.
Apparently, the powerful artifact "All Homes" needs an immortal to be sacrificed for its refinement.
He estimated that it was equivalent to feeding the artifact spirit, so that it wouldn't cause trouble for a short period of time.
Then, impose your own markings on it, so that the artifact spirit recognizes you as its master.
Then it can be used in the future.
It would no longer spontaneously spew out strange flames.
At this point, Chen Yun actually doesn't need to keep up the pretense anymore.
However, he still had one question unresolved.
So, Chen Yun batting his eyes asked, "Before I die, can I ask you one last question?"
Zhen Qiang didn't give it much thought, "Go ahead, you're dying. I'll definitely fulfill your request."
Chen Yun asked, "I have already reached the later stage of the human realm. Why couldn't I sense your existence when releasing my divine consciousness just now?"
Zhen Qiang laughed heartily again, boasting, "Because I have a magical treasure that can hide my form and aura. Not only you, but even immortals of the Tian realm who don't pay much attention wouldn't be able to detect me. Of course, immortals of the Tian realm are too powerful. If they pay a bit more attention, my cloaking treasure would be useless."
At this point, Zhen Qiang was getting impatient, "Alright, enough questions. Just come with me into the Fire Element Cave and sacrifice an immortal for me to obtain 'All Homes'."
"Ah!"
Chen Yun sighed long.
Zhen Qiang, who was about to reach out to pick up Chen Yun's body, said with a smile, "Know you're going to die, so you're sighing and groaning?"
"Not at all," Chen Yun smiled brilliantly, "I sigh because no one is as foolish as you, foolish enough to reveal all your secrets to me."
Scolded for foolishness, Zhen Qiang was not angry at all but rather laughed awkwardly, "You're going to die, and I tell you these secrets..."
He only said half of his sentence when he suddenly stopped talking!
Because at this moment, Zhen Qiang, surprised and suspicious, saw Chen Yun's body lying on the ground suddenly healing all his injuries!
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
Zhen Qiang didn't even have time to think and turned into a beam of white light, trying to escape here.
The terrifying thing happened!
Suddenly, Zhen Qiang, who had just turned into a beam of light, seemed to have collided with an "air wall."
He let out a loud "ouch" and fell straight from the sky, landing heavily on the ground.
Zhen Qiang hurried to stand up and continue running, but he found that a shadow loomed above him.
He looked closely and saw that Chen Yun, who had been lying on the ground before, had somehow stood in front of him, looking down from above.
Zhen Qiang took a cold breath, "You... how are you okay?"
Chen Yun was not in a hurry to strike and smilingly said, "I wasn't injured at all. Why would anything happen?"
"Not possible! Not possible!" Zhen Qiang couldn't believe it at all. "I clearly saw you exhaust your celestial energy, then I ambushed you from the shadows, and followed with hundreds of billions of punches. Even if you're an earthly realm immortal, not someone who has cultivated to the level of a deity through physical cultivation, under such fierce attacks, you would definitely be severely injured. How could you possibly not have a scratch? I don't believe it! I can't believe it!"
"Want to know why?" Chen Yun put his hands behind his back and laughed lightly, saying, "Because my physical body is too strong, something you low-level cultivation and physical cultivation like yours will never imagine!"
