‘One monk trained in Dragon’s Advent Art, the other in Ambushing Tiger Art. They make a formidable team, especially when working together. And if the target wasn’t me, they would’ve prevailed.’
His cultivation was only in the fifth level on Earth, but his body was tough and strong as an eight level. Magical arts could no longer impede the might of such a body forged through the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art. And unlike those natural born constitutions, it wasn’t bound by limitations.
Li Mo eased a breath after finding no one else around.
He was fearless, but still didn’t want to bring Ah Cai worries.
Back in Ah Cai’s bedroom, she spoke her greatest concern, “Gu Tianjue has again invited me to his home.”
“Just ignore it.”
“I fear he will come here instead. I won’t be able to stop him then.”
Li Mo nodded.
Gu Tianjue was Gu Hanzhong’s father. Gu Tianjue’s Sage King Physique was passed on to his son. But speaking of the purity of one’s bloodline, Gu Tianjue would be a first generation Sage King Physique, while Gu Hanzhong a second generation.
The ancient Sage King Physique was impervious to all magical arts, making one a tough opponent to contest with.
And Gu Tianjue had cultivated since young in both magical and body arts, unlike his son. Assuming he hand have sunk into obscurity after his fight with Yao Changsheng a few years back, he would’ve been the third of today’s Heaven Board.
“With Gu Tianjue’s Sage King Physique, I have no way to defend myself.”
“Keep the talismans I gave you with you at all times and you’ll be fine.”
“I will.”
“Gu Tianjue is strong, but I am confident my cultivation is enough to deal with the likes of him.”
“I have always believed in lord’s immense power.”
Li Mo left for Investiture of the Gods world. His first order of business, to slip a photo in Ma Tiehan’s home.
The next day, Ma Tiehan and Qian Wenxin went missing.
“Boss Huang, this way.”
In the capital’s number one club, the beer-bellied Huang Tianxiong was holding Ma Tiehan’s wife close as they laughed walking into their private room.
This club was equally famous as Ah Cai’s Jade Lake Club. And the true owner of this club was none other than Gu Tianjue.
Thump!
While Huang Tianxiong and Ma Tiehan’s wife were getting hot and heavy behind closed doors, someone kicked their way into their fun.
Huang Tianxiong jumped in fright, “Who’s the damn bastard? Do you have any idea who I am?”
Huang Tianxiong found the figure beyond the door oddly familiar. He got the lights to see clearly.
“Ma Tiehan!” Huang Tianxiong cried.
“Tiehan? Weren’t you dead?” Ma Tiehan’s wife jerked.
“Dead? When did I die? You slut!”
“Huang Tianxiong told me you were dead. I…”
Ma Tiehan’s wife paled, then pointed at Huang Tianxiong.
Something clicked in the two’s minds.
“Huang Tianxiong, you motherfu**er!”
Ma Tiehan roared.
Hum~
Huang Tianxiong’s hand shined, striking Ma Tiehan and sending him face first on the floor.
Huang Tianxiong might be beer-bellied and disgusting, but he was no pushover. He was the true man in charge of Thunderstruck Enterprise’s China division. His position wasn’t earned with a bat of one’s eyes either.
“Ma Tiehan, you were stronger than me in Investiture of the Gods world, but here you are nothing!”
Huang Tianxiong’s kick sent Ma Tiehan tumbling.
Ma Tiehan’s wife wailed, throwing herself at Huang Tianxiong. But a simple slap left her dizzy on the couch.
“Why couldn’t you be a good boy and do your mission in the Investiture of the Gods world? Why the hell did you return?”
“I took great and meticulous care of your wife in your stead many many times. I just can’t get enough of her smooth and silky skin.”
Huang Tianxiong cackled, pinching the woman’s cheek.
“Bastard!”
Ma Tiehan charged again, but was sent back on the floor with another slap.
“I must say, your timing is impeccable. Come and get me, he-he-he…“
“Huang Tianxiong, when have I ever let you down? Why are you doing this to me?” Ma Tiehan raged.
“You’ve always been exemplary, but I never saw you as a friend. You’re just a dog who needs only obey.
“Since you’re here, Qian Wenxin must’ve come as well, right? What a pity, I’ve worked so hard on getting his daughter, but now it all went in smoke.”
“You’re a vile and disgusting beast.”
“Say what you will. A true man needs to not let themselves down. Don’t you think letting yourself down would be worse?
“Ma Tiehan, in this world, there’s no such thing as right or wrong. Only the strongest has the final word. Like me, who has your fate in my hands. And what can you do?
“Nothing.”
Huang Tianxiong started ripping Ma Tiehan’s wife’s clothes.
She started wailing and crying.
“You will have a horrible death, you fiend.”
“Everyone dies at some point. I’m only making the most of my life.
“And what can you do?
“Nothing.”
Huang Tianxiong snickered as he dropped his pants.
“He can’t, but I can.”
Another figure popped in the door.
Huang Tianxiong snorted, “And who might you be? Qian Wenxin? Did you bring your girl?”
“I am Li Mo who you’ve been looking for.”
Li Mo entered the room.
“Training in Pristine Yang Art without the constitution to back it, Huang Tianxiong, even without my involvement, you’d die a sordid death within a year.”
“You won’t get to see it anyway, because you won’t live past today!”
Huang Tianxiong’s hand shined and struck at Li Mo.
Li Mo just jabbed in return.
On impact, Huang Tianxiong’s shining fist went out like a light.
Li Mo pointed and Huang Tianxiong collapsed like a ton of bricks.
“Your Pristine Yang Art cultivation isn’t complete. Here, let me give you a hand.”
Li Mo poured his spiritual qi through Huang Tianxiong’s head.
Huang Tianxiong shined, then stopped.
Then again and again and again.
Li Mo pushed Huang Tianxiong’s Pristine Yang Art all the way to the sixth layer.
“Ahhh~, it’s burns…”
Huang Tianxiong wailed as his body went red hot. He wailed over to the table and downed a bottle of wine, then a second, then a third.
He kept on drinking even as his body thinned out under the naked eye. He was drinking and slimming until he couldn’t walk, couldn’t even crawl. Then he ceased to move at all.
“So… thirsty. Water.” Huang Tianxiong moaned.
“It’s not your body thirsty, but your soul. You will now experience this endless torment until the moment of your death.”
“Li Mo, my son will have my revenge!”
“You don’t have long. I suggest you call Huang Feng and tell him never to look for me. For his sake.”
“Don’t get to cocky! You’re not above reproach!”
“That’s my line.”
Li Mo left.
