Zhang Taishan heard this and looked at Mo Wenjie, "You're saying you won't let me go no matter what? Do you know that killing me will not benefit you in the least, but will bring you to your deathbed. Why do this? Having more friends means having more paths. Can't you be my friend?"
Mo Wenjie smiled and looked at Zhang Taishan, "Becoming friends with you, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. Do you think an eagle would become friends with a mole? Or do you think a tiger could live together with a fox! You need to face reality. I never leave any possible dangers behind for myself, and I assume you're the same. When someone opposes you, don't you want to completely eliminate them? You won't tell me you haven't done that. We're both adults; let's not say lies!"
Zhang Taishan asked Mo Wenjie, "Don't you really fear death? If you kill me, my grandfather and others will find out quickly. Do you think they can't trace you? You're wrong. My grandfather will find you soon, and he will order the entire city to hunt you down. By then, everyone who wants to get their hands on cultivation resources will be after you. Do you think you can escape?" I advise you to let me go. We can go our separate ways in the future, and I think that would be for the best!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Zhang Taishan and shook his head, "I don't think so. If you want to kill me, I won't let you go. Killing you and being chased down by the entire city or not killing you and being chased down by the entire city, which do you think I should choose: to kill you or not to kill you?"
Zhang Taishan was truly at a loss for words. What kind of monster is this, impervious to any persuasion? Nothing works, he's like a one-track mind. How could I have run into such an asshole?
Mo Wenjie smiled and waved his hand, "Don't get angry either. Even when you have absolute advantage, you won't let me go either. So, you don't need to complain or be angry because we're the same. Nobody would leave themselves with potential trouble!"
As they walked and talked, suddenly a cheetah appeared ahead.
Mo Wenjie looked at the cheetah and was overjoyed. Now he wouldn't have to do it himself, as the cheetah could take care of it!
Zhang Taishan saw the cheetah and laughed out loud. Mo Wenjie, Mo Wenjie, you could go to paradise but didn't walk the path, and you barged into hell. How can you kill me? You'll still be eaten by the beast! We're both sick and connected, you're not much better than me. Both of us are about to die; it's just a matter of time. I was lucky today, the cheetah is taking revenge for me, I feel I'm not losing!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head at Zhang Taishan, "You're overthinking it. I didn't plan to take matters into my own hands. I want the cheetah to eat you up first, and then I'll kill the cheetah. Do you think that would work? I can also spread the word that I've avenged you, and the city lord's mansion should give me some rewards!"
Zhang Taishan's face turned ashen upon hearing this, "You, Mo Wenjie, are a petty person! You do things without being straightforward. Even if I die, I won't let you go!"
Mo Wenjie laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Are you stupid? Just as long as you're dead, who cares about being a big person or a small one? How you die doesn't matter. Do you really think I want to die more than you?"
Zhang Taishan, upon hearing these words, was so angry that he trembled all over. Mo Wenjie, you scoundrel, you not only insult me but also mock me. You're too inhumane. To associate with someone like you is a disgrace!
Mo Wenjie laughed after hearing this. "You better stop talking. Don't you realize how immature you are? I won't waste my time with you. Go ahead and fight the cheetah courageously. I'll watch the battle from the side. He pushed Zhang Taishan into the cheetah's path and said that."
Zhang Taishan, seeing this, screamed in fear and turned to run. However, how could a cheetah let him get away? It took off and pounced on Zhang Taishan. At this moment, he was so scared that he had no strength left to run, and he couldn't even move! The cheetah pounced!
Mo Wenjie watched as Zhang Taishan was eaten by the cheetah, but he wasn't particularly pleased. After all, Zhang Taishan was still a person, and the cheetah was just an animal; there is still a fundamental difference between them!
The cheetah finished eating Zhang Taishan and looked at Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie laughed upon seeing this, "This beast hasn't eaten enough yet, does it want to eat me too? It's too greedy. If you want to eat me, you need to prepare for your end! Mo Wenjie thought about this and didn't hesitate to walk towards the cheetah!"
The cheetah looked at Mo Wenjie approaching and was baffled. What's happening here? Shouldn't he be running away? Why is he charging towards me? Is he really not afraid of death? Do you think I'll let you go like this? That's a big mistake! I haven't eaten enough yet, so how could I let you go? Even if I am full, I can't let you go. At least, I'll squash you and keep you for when I'm hungry again; it would be a waste to let you escape. The cheetah pounced towards Mo Wenjie. As its front paw was less than thirty centimeters away from Mo Wenjie, a golden light flashed suddenly, and the cheetah flew backward for dozens of meters before collapsing lifeless!
Mo Wenjie watched as the cheetah flew backward and died from the shock. He realized that the cheetah was very powerful. However, he didn't know what level it was. All that mattered now was that he needed to absorb the energy from the cheetah's demon core. The level of cultivation wasn't important; what mattered was how much his own strength would be enhanced by the cheetah's demon core. That was the crucial point!
Mo Wenjie walked over to the cheetah and proceeded to open its intestines and bowels. As he took out the demon core, he felt that its energy was terrifying. It was unclear at what level the cheetah's demon core could elevate his strength, but given that he had no idea of its cultivation level, and knowing that his own strength would increase slower as he grew more powerful, along with the fact that each small realm improvement required an immense amount of resources, it was uncertain how many small realms Mo Wenjie could improve by absorbing the cheetah's demon core. Furthermore, since there were no witnesses in this remote location, it didn't matter what their strength was. Focusing on what did matter—absorbing the energy from the demon core—Mo Wenjie sat cross-legged and began to assimilate its power. He wasn't aware of how much time had passed until he opened his eyes once more. His joy was uncontrollable; what kind of beast was this? The energy within the cheetah's demon core was so vast that in his unintentional absorption, his strength had surged four levels. This equated to a staggering one large realm leap—a single cheat leopard demon core had allowed him to leap a whole large realm! This defied belief. To declare such a thing would only invite skepticism and disbelief from others. Currently at the Golden Imperial Realm Mid-Stage level, given this rate of progression, there would be no stopping him from reaching the Imperial Realm soon enough. There would be no fear of Zhuang Tianshi anymore, even with his current strength!
