Li Qingshan stepped on the soft carpet and raised an eyebrow. All he heard was the clanking of machinery from behind the walls on the two sides of the corridor.
Exquisite patterns lit up on the luxurious carpet, crawling out of the ground like vines and wrapping around Li Qingshan.
The walls on the left and right flipped over. Countless specks of cold light flickered behind the pitch-black walls, and a forest of spears suddenly stabbed out.
Crack! Crack! Machine crossbows protruded from the ceiling. Like a swarm of locusts, they rained down.
The quiet corridor was immediately filled with death traps. It was a sure-kill situation.
"The assassination plan has failed." Li Qingshan let out a long sigh. He had known this ship would not be so simple.
… …
"Haitang, drink some alcohol and cool down. Chengzan was just confused for a moment."
In the luxurious cabin, Jiang Shancheng picked up a cup of alcohol and passed it to Begonia. He studied her delicate figure countless times from the corner of his eye. His eyes remained fixed on her beautiful face that resembled a crabapple flower the entire time.
Begonia felt disgusted when she saw how he feigned pity and struggled to hide his face, but she still accepted the alcohol and drank it all.
Jiang Shancheng was overjoyed. He passed the alcohol over and over again, and Begonia drank it all without any hesitation. From the beginning until the end, he just rambled on. Begonia remained silent.
Before long, Begonia's face became flushed. Her eyes were like water as they drifted about. She was incomparably beautiful. There was sorrow in her eyes, but after all these years of painstakingly practising the arts of charm, every frown or smile of hers was filled with unparalleled charm. Jiang Shancheng was basically stunned.
Begonia's smile bloomed like a flower. A voice rang out from the centre of the flower, "Am I beautiful?"
"Yes, you're absolutely beautiful!"
Begonia laughed aloud.
"Haitang, you're drunk. I'll help you get some rest." Jiang Shancheng could no longer hold himself back and grabbed Begonia's hand. Begonia actually did not reject him. He was intoxicated. "Sigh. There are still many good men in the world, so why must you be so hung up on one? Actually, I … "
He stopped there. His expression changed as he took out an item and looked at it. It was like an exquisite palm-sized rudder, flashing with brilliance.
"Someone has broken in. I want to see who is so daring. I will definitely make him die a horrible death."
Having his matters interrupted, Jiang Shancheng was furious. If he missed this opportunity, he would never get another one. Right now, Begonia was in a state of dejection, or she would never look at him properly.
Was it him? A strong sense of hope rose in Begonia's heart, and her face lit up.
Jiang Shancheng felt even more uneasy. He was also afraid that Hwa Seung-zan would chase after him. Oh, Chengzan. They were friends after all. Why did you have to ruin my plans?
Rays of light shot out from the center of the helm. They formed a picture in the air, showing the situation of every part of the cabin. Everything came into view.
In the end, it fixed on the crimson figure at the entrance of the cabin.
Begonia was greatly disappointed. Jiang Shancheng eased up. As long as it was not Hwa Seung-zan, then everything would be fine.
The Soaring Dragon ship had a defensive formation, but the energy it consumed had always been extremely great. If they activated the formation, it would consume even more. With two Foundation Establishment cultivators present, even if an enemy attacked, they would probably piss their pants in fright as soon as they saw the symbol of their Pine Sough academy!
Jiang Shancheng activated the defensive mechanisms in the cabin as if he did not care about the intruder at all. He watched as the crimson figure was swallowed by the spears and crossbow bolts and smiled proudly. The mechanisms and traps in the Soaring Dragon ship were all the work of mohist masters. They possessed startling power. Even if the intruder was a piece of steel, he would become a hornet's nest.
Within the deathly silence, there were creaks, creaks, and cracks. There was a series of twisting and snapping sounds.
Boom!
The spears snapped, and the crossbow bolts scattered. Li Qingshan was unscathed. The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell enveloped him completely. He stepped forward and discovered that the patterns on the carpet were still entangled. He frowned, and the carpet was torn to pieces.
His hands fell to the sides of his thighs, and he discovered that his legs were bare. He was running around naked. He plucked out a strand of red hair and turned it into a pair of trousers. He shoved his hands into his pockets in satisfaction and made his way into the depths of the cabin.
"W- what's going on?" Jiang Shancheng's expression changed drastically. A terrifying sense of danger filled his heart. The figure seemed rather familiar.
"You still don't remember?" Begonia sneered drunkenly. After her disappointment, her heart became even colder.
Jiang Shancheng suddenly remembered the great matter that had shaken up the world a while ago. Even now, the repercussions were still lingering. He had once seen a painting of the terrifying wretched daemon who had killed the Lone Grave Elder and the Golden Pheasant Elder, as well as frightened the Green Vine Elder to the point where he dared not leave his mountain.
He looked at the image projected by the rudder. That's right, it was him! Jiang Shancheng paled in fright. The rudder in his hand shone brightly as he gave an order to the Soaring Dragon ship.
"Activate all mechanisms. Mobilize all puppets!"
The Soaring Dragon ship trembled gently. The sounds of countless mechanisms activating overlapped with each other. It was like thunder, like the roar of a dragon or whale.
Li Qingshan arrived in a large cabin. An army of puppets waited there. Two specks of light flickered in their eyes. They all turned around and looked at Li Qingshan.
The crossbow bolts rained down like a black storm. Li Qingshan flapped his Wings of Wind and dispersed the storm.
He wrinkled his nose and curled his lips. Boar, I've found you!
He had no idea what kind of wood the Soaring Dragon ship was made of. Not only was it extremely tough, but it greatly affected his senses of aura. However, his scent was not affected at all. He had already grasped the trail of a scent.
It was a strange fragrance that did not disperse. With a flash, Li Qingshan followed the scent and advanced by leaps and bounds.
"This Boar Jiang sure is a deviant. He even uses perfume!"
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! The cabin doors closed up before him. Boom! Boom! Boom! Li Qingshan smashed through them one by one.
Behind him, groups of puppets pursued him relentlessly. Up ahead, various traps appeared one after another.
Sometimes, the floor would suddenly cave in and spit out fire. Sometimes, the walls would suddenly squeeze in. It was like a whale wriggling its stomach and secreting digestive fluids, desperately trying to strangle an outsider like him.
However, Li Qingshan was a "foreign object" it could not digest.
"What do we do? Big sis Qiu, what do we do? "
The ship's wheel reflected everything faithfully. Seeing Li Qingshan rush over, Jiang Shancheng sweated profusely. He still had some self-awareness. He was only an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had only managed to reach Foundation Establishment out of sheer luck. However, Li Qingshan had fought against three of them alone, killing two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators and almost killing the late Foundation Establishment Green Vine Elder. He was a great wretched daemon with a vicious reputation.
"I don't know." Begonia also knew she probably wouldn't be able to survive today, but she remained calm instead. If I die here, I'll make that heartless person regret it for the rest of his life.
"Oh right, your arts of charm might work!" Jiang Shancheng took out a stack of talismans in a hurry and stuck them on the cabin door.
"I'll use my arts of charm to draw his attention so that you can use the opportunity to escape, right?"
Jiang Shancheng became slightly awkward after Begonia exposed his plan. He wanted to try and persuade her otherwise.
Boom! With a great rumble, the heavy cabin door suddenly caved in, sending wooden splinters flying everywhere. The inscriptions on the door twisted. Before this terrifying power, they bowed their heads in submission.
"Is anyone home?" After saying that, Li Qingshan unleashed another punch and cracks appeared on the cabin door.
"If you're home, please open the door, alright?"
Boom! The cabin door was on the verge of shattering.
The voice from outside was sinister and deranged, which chilled Jiang Shancheng. Without another word, he abandoned Begonia and fled through a secret passageway in the corner of the room.
Boom! The cabin door was torn apart, and pieces of it shot out.
The fiendish demon with waist-length crimson hair and an insolent face appeared in front of the door. Even though Qiu Haitang had disregarded her own life and death, that intense pressure still caused her pupils to shrink.
Why was Begonia on the ship as well? Li Qingshan finally understood where the fragrance had come from, but he struck out without any hesitation. With a flash, he arrived before Begonia and grabbed her slender, white neck.
"Just you?"
Qiu Haitang stared at his face and did not speak.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Li Qingshan was rather curious. Begonia did not resist at all. She did not even use the arts of charm she was skilled in.
Begonia sneered miserably.
Li Qingshan guessed the whole story from her pitiful expression that seemed to say, "There's nothing I can do about it". Hwa Seung-zan's infatuation had not changed. Begonia had fallen for him, but he was heartless.
Li Qingshan tossed her aside and slammed her against the wall. Afterwards, he wrinkled his nose and kicked open the secret passageway, chasing after her.
The secret passageway closed behind him. Seeing how Begonia did not chase after him, Jiang Shancheng let out a sigh of relief. As long as he kept her busy, he could escape from the cabin. He glanced at the tiny ship's wheel in his hand. Perhaps there was still a chance for him to turn the tables.
The Soaring Dragon ship continued to sail through the sea of clouds under the moon.
A small door suddenly opened at the back of the ship, and Jiang Shancheng stuck his head out. All he saw was the sea of clouds churning backwards. With a clang, a supreme grade spiritual sword flew out. He stepped on it and rode it away.
He glanced at the ship's wheel in his hand and hesitated. Although there was a chance for him to turn the tables, it was far too dangerous. Whatever. The consequences of losing a Soaring Dragon ship were severe, but as long as he was alive, there was hope. As long as he survived this, his future would still be bright. There was no need for him to risk his life against a wretched daemon, so he had to flee.
Jiang Shancheng sensed something and suddenly looked back. All he saw was two specks of scarlet light in the secret door. Oh no!
"A Strike of Righteousness!"
Li Qingshan lunged over. Jiang Shancheng formed a seal with his hand, and the supreme grade spiritual sword turned into a streak of snow-white light.
Human cultivators were not as tough as daemon cultivators, but they could control their swords to kill. They moved with startling speed and showed off their abilities. If they truly fought, even regular Daemon Generals might not necessarily be able to emerge victorious.
However, was Li Qingshan a regular Daemon General?
He flapped his wings of wind and suddenly turned around. The edge of the streak of light brushed past the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell, and the light collided violently, illuminating Li Qingshan's smile. He avoided the sword Qi and shot past it without slowing down at all. He extended his right hand towards Jiang Shancheng.
Jiang Shancheng retreated in a hurry and took out a scarlet talisman. This was a life-saving talisman that the Pine Sough academy bestowed upon Foundation Establishment disciples. It possessed startling power. Before he could use it, a black shadow enveloped him, blotting out the moon and stars.
Li Qingshan's right hand turned into a huge, pitch-black claw, grabbing Jiang Shancheng. He suddenly tightened his grip, and there was a delightful sound of bones shattering. He sniggered viciously. After the lesson from the Green Vine Elder, it was still very necessary for him to reduce his enemy to a pulp.
And, this guy had always been a piece of scum. He didn't even spare his good friend's woman, even running away after abandoning her. I'll make you a little more deserving of your name.
