This old man was naturally Alchemist Zi Cheng. There was an indescribable might in his eyes as he stared at Ling Han. He didn't need to do anything, and a single thought from him was enough to suppress the entire universe. He was indescribably strong.
An Ascending Origin Tier elite was naturally powerful enough.
Thoughts flashed through Ling Han's mind, but his expression didn't change. Instead, he smiled faintly, and said, "Senior, I don't really understand."
"I've asked you to come several times, but you've made all sorts of excuses. Are you even more arrogant than me?" Alchemist Zi Cheng said, his expression tense. Great dao formed behind him, transforming into various forms, but all of them were filled with might.
This old man was stronger than Old Demon Blood Shadow.
Ling Han thought. Though he could no longer compare the strength of their auras, he felt that Alchemist Zi Cheng was stronger.
He smiled, and said, "I've been wronged."
"Oh, you hit my alchemy apprentice, and you actually say that you've been wronged?" Alchemist Zi Cheng couldn't help but laugh in anger.
Ling Han was calm and composed. If Alchemist Zi Cheng really wanted to punish him, there was no need to waste words with him. For a Four-Star Alchemist, no matter how freakish Ling Han was, he was only a Severing Mundane Tier, a One-Star Alchemist. There was no need to take him seriously.
Killing him was a matter of a single thought.
But now, the other party had so much to say, and added with the fact that Ling Han already had some suspicions, he was naturally more certain.
He said, "I've indeed been wronged, and I'm also very aggrieved and angry …"
"Heh, you're becoming more and more impudent," Alchemist Zi Cheng said with a sneer.
Ling Han was neither servile nor overbearing, and continued, "A mere alchemy apprentice actually dares to shout at a One-Star Alchemist? Are there any rules? To say nothing of the other One-Star Alchemists, even the Two-Star Alchemists and Three-Star Alchemists are silent, as if they're used to it. I don't think that's right …"
"Oh, so this is the reason you hit my alchemy apprentice?" Alchemist Zi Cheng asked calmly, an unfathomable expression on his face.
Ling Han smiled, and said, "Exactly."
"You're truly audacious! Don't you know that there's a saying that goes, 'Even if you want to beat a dog, you must first look at its master,'" Alchemist Zi Cheng said in a menacing voice. A terrifying killing intent surfaced on his face, and it was as if he had suddenly transformed into an Asura Demon King. He lightly slapped the table. Although there was no sound, Ling Han's heart thumped as if the world had collapsed.
This was the might of the Ascending Origin Tier. Their every action could affect the hearts of others.
"Since you're a talent, I'll be merciful and give you a chance." Alchemist Zi Cheng paused for a moment before saying, "If you immediately kowtow and apologize to my alchemy apprentice, I can spare your life."
Ling Han said without the slightest hesitation, "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
"Haha, I've lived for trillions of years, but this is the first time I've seen such an ignorant kid. Since you're so audacious and arrogant, then you can die with this dignity of yours! "Alchemist Zi Cheng moved, and his palm pressed down. Boom! It transformed into a massive flaming hand that was inscribed with patterns of the great dao.
To a Severing Mundane Tier, just looking at this palm strike would cause boundless terror to well up in their hearts, to say nothing of blocking it. It wasn't impossible for those who were more timid to be scared out of their wits.
Moreover, this palm strike was very slow, as if it wanted to instill boundless terror in Ling Han before taking his life.
Ling Han stood as straight as a sword with his hands clasped behind his back.
If this palm strike really landed, he definitely wouldn't be able to hide into the Black Tower in time. However, he was making a huge gamble. He was gambling on his understanding of Alchemist Zi Cheng. If he lost this gamble, the price would be his life.
In fact, with the Black Tower in hand, Ling Han didn't need to gamble. As long as he didn't encounter a Celestial King, he would be completely safe once he entered the Black Tower. However, as his cultivation level became higher and higher, he increasingly didn't want to rely on the Black Tower. At least, it wasn't a situation where there was no solution.
"Kneel and beg for mercy, and you'll still have a sliver of a chance to live," Alchemist Zi Cheng said. His voice rumbled like thunder, and it was so deafening that one's ears felt like they were about to explode. Furthermore, his voice was aimed directly at Ling Han's Dao Heart, and it carried with it a supreme pressure.
Ling Han didn't even need to speak, and he still stood proudly.
Boom! The palm strike landed, and the entire seventh peak trembled a few times.
A terrifying might swept over, and Ling Han's figure reappeared. However, he wasn't injured in the slightest.
This wasn't because Ling Han was nature-defying and could even withstand the attack of an Ascending Origin Tier elite. Rather, when the attack landed, it just so happened to avoid him. Otherwise, not only would he be a dead man now, but he would also be a dead man whose bones wouldn't even be found.
"Hahaha!" Alchemist Zi Cheng laughed loudly. The shocking killing intent that he was exuding had already been completely swept away, and his laughter was extremely joyous. It was as if his mood had suddenly improved to the extreme.
Though a cold sweat had already formed on Ling Han's back, there was no change in his expression. He knew that he had gambled correctly.
Even if he had gambled wrongly, it wasn't that he didn't have a way out. The Indestructible Heaven's Scroll could allow him to rise from the ashes, and it could give him another chance. Moreover, it just so happened that he could dispel the Black Murderous Curse.
However, if he didn't have to use this kind of rebirth opportunity, it was best not to. This wasn't something that could be used limitlessly. Rather, it was pitifully rare. As his cultivation level increased, he would only be able to use it once or twice more. Moreover, he also viewed the Black Murderous Curse as a form of training, so he didn't want to dispel it immediately.
"Brat, you're really very courageous," Alchemist Zi Cheng said.
Ling Han became humble instead. He clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life."
An expression of admiration appeared on Alchemist Zi Cheng's face. A person who only knew how to act arrogantly wouldn't have a future. However, Ling Han knew when to yield and when to stand tall. When he needed to be forceful, he was incredibly forceful, and when he needed to be respectful, he didn't lose his etiquette. This made Alchemist Zi Cheng extremely satisfied.
After waiting for so many years, he had finally found a talent that he was willing to accept.
"Are you sure that I won't kill you?" Alchemist Zi Cheng asked.
Ling Han smiled, and said, "I'm 70-80% sure."
"However, it's not 100% sure. Moreover, what if you're wrong?" Alchemist Zi Cheng asked.
Ling Han still maintained his smile, and said, "70-80% sure. It's already worth a gamble." He naturally wouldn't say that he could rise from the ashes again. Even if he was wrong, there would still be a sliver of a chance to salvage the situation.
"Brat, brat!" Alchemist Zi Cheng's eyebrows and beard twitched. He appeared to be very excited, and it was as if he was extremely happy.
He waved his hand, and his expression became incredibly amiable. "Brat, come, sit here."
Ling Han walked over and sat across from Alchemist Zi Cheng. He placed his hands on his knees, appearing to be extremely respectful.
Alchemist Zi Cheng couldn't help but feel even more satisfied. His eyes were filled with admiration, and he smiled as he said, "Do you think that I'm the kind of person who would allow those around me to strut around and do whatever they want?"
Ling Han told the truth, and said, "In the beginning, I didn't understand Senior. However, when I saw Alchemy Apprentice Mo's arrogance and despotic behavior, I indeed thought that Senior was an extremely protective person. However, when I taught Alchemy Apprentice Mo a lesson, it wasn't the law enforcement team that arrived. Instead, it was Alchemy Apprentice Mo. At that time, I knew that Senior definitely wasn't such a person. "
"Haha!" Alchemist Zi Cheng's laughter became even more carefree. "Then tell me, why did I allow Little Mo to do whatever he wanted? In fact, I even allowed everyone to think that I was such a person!"
