At that instant when the Eight Formation Diagram was broken, Zhang Lisheng revealed himself and commanded with his mind. In just a blink of an eye, he withdrew thousands of wizard gus back into his body. Looking up at the direction where Li Xiangzhou and Duan Lianbao had turned into a golden light and disappeared, he murmured in admiration, "Is this the power of the Gate of Dao? It's indeed mysterious and magical …"
When Zheng Tianliang, who was still far away from him just now, heard this, he shook his head and said, "Dr. Zhang. Why are you so modest?
I can also be considered as an elite among the younger generation of Gate of Dao's disciples. Even though Junior Sister Xiangzhou and Lianbao are younger than me, they're also the best in the Gate of Dao. However, when the three of us joined forces and relied on the formation door of the high-grade relic Eight Formation Diagram to fight and escape, we only lasted for a total of 27 breaths before you used your wizard gus to break the formation.
After that, you only used seven breaths to cripple Junior Brother Lianbao's arm while protecting the clothes and stone egg on the ground, forcing me to destroy my own Dao to stimulate my primordial spirit. Such strength is rare even among the Gate of Dao's elders. You're really terrifying … "
"Mr. Zheng, you're very polite when you speak, and you've always been polite to me as well." Zhang Lisheng returned to his normal form and picked up the shorts and sweatshirt from the ground. After putting them on, he walked up to Zheng Tianliang and shook his head regretfully. "If your two fellow Gate of Dao had also fallen into my hands, I wouldn't mind tearing your limbs apart to teach you a lesson. However, I can't do that now."
"Dr., you've misunderstood me. I'm not as ignorant as Junior Sister Li and Junior Brother Duan. Since I've set up a scam and offended a powerhouse who inherited the ancient witchcraft like you, and now that I've fallen into your hands, how could I possibly hope that you'll spare my life?
I only hope that this matter will start and end because of me so that you can just let it go after my death. "Zheng Tianliang bowed deeply as his body swayed.
"Mr. Zheng, are you kidding me? Even if I can just let it go, will the Gate of Dao just let it go?" Zhang Lisheng tore off the red thread tied to the Manifestation Worm's stone egg and asked casually in a dumbfounded manner.
Seeing his actions, Zheng Tianliang suddenly understood the tragic fate he was about to face. Although he was already aware of death, his body still trembled uncontrollably.
However, even so, he still explained, "You don't have to worry about this. The cause of this incident was all because Junior Sister Li, Junior Brother Duan, and I violated the Heavenly Dao's rules by tricking you to the outskirts and trapping you with the Eight Formation Diagram. Even if I die, the elders in the sect won't act recklessly …"
"Oh, I understand now. This is a kind of differential treatment. Those who are strong will abide by the rules, and those who are weak will be secretly killed. Yes, although it is despicable, it is a very practical method." Zhang Lisheng had a look of realization on his face. He stretched out his finger and turned it into a sharp claw. He cut a deep wound on Zheng Tianliang's heart and stuffed the stone egg right under his heart.
The moment the egg entered his heart, Zheng Tianliang was in so much pain that the veins on his face and neck were exposed. Clenching his fists with all his might, he gritted his teeth so hard that they were almost crushed. However, he still squeezed out words to defend the Gate of Dao. "It's not like what you think, Doctor. This time, if it wasn't for the fact that you hid your wizard power and caused us to speculate …"
"That's enough, Mr. Zheng. Your willpower is surprisingly strong, and you've won my respect.
Alright, I'll tell you before I die that I'll be returning to the US in a few days. I won't let the Gate of Dao's arrangement complicate matters at such a critical moment. You can die in peace. "
"I see." Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's words, even though Zheng Tianliang knew that he had seen through his thoughts, a relaxed smile still crept upon Zheng Tianliang's face. His pain seemed to have been alleviated a lot, but his breathing gradually became weaker.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said with his last breath, "Dr. Zhang, there's another small matter that I'd like to trouble you with.
Do you still remember Li Mingjin who went to the airport with me to pick you up? It's her birthday tomorrow and we've made an appointment to celebrate it tonight. Can you please find a computer and send her a message to make up an excuse? Just say that I have something to do at the last minute and can't celebrate her birthday with her. "
"You have a lot of things to do."
Zheng Tianliang was already in a trance, but he insisted. "This is the only thing that I'm worried about. I hope that Master Zhang can help me. Mingjin's phone number is …"
"Oh yeah, don't forget to tell her that I've already ordered a birthday cake for her at the Good Time Cake House at the west gate of the school. I've written my name on it and she can still collect it with her ID card even if there's no receipt.
That cake is her favorite hazelnut chocolate flavor with a lot of frosting. Speaking of which, it's the first gift that I've bought for her … "As Zheng Tianliang was speaking, the flesh and blood on his chest suddenly sunk and his breathing stopped abruptly. At the last moment of his life, there was a sweet smile on his face. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
When Zheng Tianliang died, Zhang Lisheng's attention was all on a bulge that was moving around in the dry skin on his chest. He did not notice that he was already dead. It was only until the flesh and blood on Zheng Tianliang's entire body began to shrink and his bones seemed to have melted that the young man finally muttered in astonishment, "Failed! He's dead! It's over just like that … Sh * t!
The nutrients in the flesh and blood of a Taoist disciple whose strength is equivalent to two or three Gate of Witchcraft's elite disciples is equivalent to several dozens of lions and tigers, and yet, the incubation still failed … "
As Zhang Lisheng muttered coldly, the meatball continued to shrink and finally became the size of a rugby ball. It was in a round shape and began to beat gently like a heart every ten seconds.
As the ball beat for the first time, an indescribable vitality exuded from it. Only then did the young man let out a long sigh of relief. "So it's because the incubation time is not long enough." After picking up the meatball, he dug a hole in the farmhouse and searched for a long time. Finally, he dug out a rough silk cloth with an Eight Trigrams pattern in the shallow underground soil of the courtyard and put it into his pocket.
This time, he had a lot of unexpected gains. After obtaining two treasures, Zhang Lisheng shaded his eyes with his hand and looked at the sun that had already crossed the top of his head. He could not help but have a satisfied smile appear on his face. Then, he pushed open the heavy wooden door of the farmhouse and quickly walked out of the village. After walking for a long time along the rural road with few pedestrians and vehicles, he finally got a taxi and rushed to Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.
After buying an inconspicuous canvas bag in the store outside the airport, the young man put all the sundries on him into it. After entering the cabin to take the ticket and exchange it for the boarding pass, due to the reason that he had bought a first-class ticket, he easily passed through the security check through the fast lane and came to the VIP waiting room.
After surfing the Internet on a tablet computer in the waiting room for a while, it was time to board the plane. Carrying the canvas bag, Zhang Lisheng finally looked at the modern airport of his hometown through the floor-to-ceiling window and boarded the plane with the boarding pass. Not long after, he followed the American Airlines international flight that broke through the slightly bright summer night and flew to the other side of the ocean.
The international flight was long. After killing the giant ape in the Oasis World, Zhang Lisheng immediately refined thousands of wizard gus overnight to replenish his flesh and blood. After that, he commanded the wizard gus to fly out of the supernatural realm and rode on the clouds for thousands of miles to return to Chengdu before fighting with the Gate of Dao's disciples. The instant he sat on the comfortable first-class seat, he began to close his eyes to recuperate.
Although his intuition was still there, he didn't open his eyes when he felt someone gently covering him with a thin blanket. When his energy was almost recovered, he moved his muscles and bones, touched his stomach, and pressed the service button to call the flight attendant over. "Is there anything to eat?" he asked.
"Sir, dinner time has passed. Since you're resting, we didn't want to disturb you. Right now, there's only ordinary food such as pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches, and dried fruit snacks …" The flight attendant who was already a little old replied gently. All of a sudden, she was interrupted by a horrified scream from the back of the cabin.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned. Like all the other passengers, he turned around to look and saw a beautiful woman dressed in a bright and decent summer dress standing up and screaming loudly without a care for her manners.
Any small commotion in the sky could cause a huge disaster. Immediately, most of the flight attendants in the first-class cabin gathered over and began to comfort the screaming woman in a professional manner. "Madam, please relax and take a deep breath. Our plane is very safe now. If you need oxygen, you can put on an oxygen mask …"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable, Madam? If there's anything wrong, you can tell me. There are some simple medicines in the first-class cabin of the plane …"
"Madam, are you having a nightmare? This is very common during a flight. A glass of iced lemon juice can wake you up immediately and make you feel much more comfortable …"
A small number of flight attendants, on the other hand, put on a very professional smile and comforted the emotions of the other passengers. "Dear dear passengers, it's just a small accident in our cabin. Please don't panic …"
"No, this is not a small accident. Are all of you blind? Look outside! Look outside …" The screaming woman who was surrounded by the customer service staff suddenly stopped shouting and pointed at the plane window as she shouted. However, when she saw the vast night sky and the big bright stars outside the window, she suddenly choked on her words.
Upon seeing that the woman's emotions were fluctuating violently, the strong security guards on the flight quietly appeared behind the flight attendants and were on standby. However, there were many hidden talents in the first-class cabin of international flights, so no airline was willing to take coercive measures against the passengers inside. For this reason, the flight attendants were still making the last effort. "Please calm down, Madam. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath …"
To everyone's surprise, this effort actually produced an effect. The woman gasped for a while and gradually calmed down. However, her face turned even redder as she stuttered, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I think I must have had a nightmare. I saw a volcano and magma appearing outside the window just now and I was so scared. That was really, really a dream … I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to everyone … "
"It's alright, Madam. Just like what I said just now, it's easy for people to have nightmares during a flight. Have a glass of iced lemon …" Upon seeing that the woman had calmed down, one of the flight attendants who seemed to be the most senior comforted her with a smile. However, when she inadvertently glanced at the plane window from the corner of her eyes, the smile on her face immediately turned into a horrified expression. She covered her mouth forcefully to prevent herself from screaming.
