"If you hand it over, I can spare your life." Bao Cheng said, "Although you're a High Official of the Southern Sky Gate, you can't possibly stay there forever, right? I can find you anytime! "
Chu Li smiled, "What do you want the Formless Blade for? Do you really want to hand it over to Sect Leader Song? "
"You don't have to worry about that!" Bao Cheng scoffed.
Chu Li smiled, "If you don't tell me, I won't hand it over."
"It's really with you!" Bao Cheng's face darkened as he sized him up. His eyes were sharp as if he was trying to see through him. He scoffed, "Then I'll satisfy your curiosity!"
Chu Li asked, "What do you want in exchange for the Formless Blade?"
"The Prophet Stone!" Bao Cheng said.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled, "That's more than that?"
"The Prophet Stone is enough!" Bao Cheng scoffed, "I don't care about the rest."
Chu Li sighed, "The Heaven Blade Sect must have some other treasures that you've been thinking about, right?"
The Omniscient Mirror had been staring at Bao Cheng to see through him.
His spirit was strong enough that it had been growing stronger. No one in the world could compare to him. Now that he was using his full strength, he could see through Bao Cheng's mind.
He was surprised to see his thoughts.
Bao Cheng sneered, "Hand over the Formless Blade!"
Chu Li shook his head, "I don't have it."
"Then you're courting death!" Bao Cheng said coldly, "I've deduced that it's with you!"
However, he could not sense the existence of the Formless Blade.
He came here based on his senses, but he could not sense it here. It was really strange. He must have used the secret technique to conceal the energy movement of the Formless Blade.
He wanted to kill Chu Li and snatch the Formless Blade, but he was worried that he would not be able to find the Formless Blade after killing Chu Li. That would be a waste of effort.
Chu Li said, "It's not with me, I've hidden it."
"I'll catch you and torture you. Let's see if you'll give me an explanation!" Bao Cheng said, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Chu Li said, "If I can't beat you, I'll just kill myself to avoid suffering."
He spoke calmly with a faint smile, but his words were unquestionable.
"You —!" Bao Cheng was stunned. He could feel Chu Li's determination. As someone who could predict the future, he was indifferent to life and death. In the vast world, he was as insignificant as an ant. It would not be difficult to kill him.
He clenched his teeth and humphed, "Tell me, how can I make you hand over the Non-Phase Blade!"
Chu Li said, "I want to learn your Derivation Heart Technique."
"Impossible!" Bao Cheng shouted.
Chu Li smiled. "Anyway, you're no longer a disciple of Mystical Sky City. It's not like the Mystical Sky Mirror hasn't been passed down to outsiders!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll give you a fake one?" Bao Cheng snorted. "You want my mental cultivation method? You're dreaming!"
Chu Li said, "That depends on whether you want the Formless Blade or whether you want the Prophecy Stone!"
He knew that Bao Cheng's desire for the Prophecy Stone was a hundred times stronger than Song Manyin's desire for the Formless Blade. With the Prophecy Stone, his Mystical Sky Mirror could be on par with the masters of Mystical Sky City.
He was actually an abandoned disciple of Mystical Sky City. Because he violated the rules of Mystical Sky City, he was expelled from the city. With a fortuitous encounter, he slowly recovered his Mystical Sky Mirror cultivation level. However, he was still far from the masters of Mystical Sky City.
With the Prophecy Stone, he could even up the gap.
Chu Li continued, "If you lie to me even once, don't even think about getting the Formless Blade!"
"… Alright!" Bao Cheng looked at him with uncertainty and said slowly, "But you have to swear that you won't tell anyone about this. You can't pass the Mystical Sky Mirror heart technique to anyone else!"
"No problem, I'll swear now!" Chu Li said in a deep voice. He raised his palm and swore.
Bao Cheng squinted his eyes and stared at Chu Li as if he was weighing the gains and losses.
However, Chu Li knew what Bao Cheng was thinking. He wanted to pass on the heart technique and get rid of him after obtaining the Formless Blade. With the Prophecy Stone, he would be able to deduce his location and there would be nowhere for him to run.
"Alright, I'll pass it to you!" Bao Cheng scoffed, "But I want to see the Formless Blade first!"
Chu Li shook his head, "That's impossible!"
"… Listen!" Bao Cheng said coldly, "The technique can't be passed to anyone else. I'll only recite it verbally. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your own ability!"
After he said that, he began to recite a string of incantations.
While Chu Li listened carefully, he used the Omniscient Mirror to observe and imprinted the scene in Bao Cheng's mind. The incantations and the cultivation scene matched, so it didn't take much effort for him to comprehend it and cultivate it directly.
After a while, Bao Cheng stopped reciting the incantations and sneered, "I'll only say it once. Don't blame me if you can't remember it!"
Chu Li smiled, "It's enough."
This Bao Cheng did not play any tricks. What he recited was the real Mystical Void Mirror's incantations, but he did not mention some of the key points. Without personal guidance, even if he obtained this incantation, he would not be able to cultivate it.
Bao Cheng scoffed, "Can you bring me the Formless Blade now?"
Chu Li smiled and took out a ball of light from his sleeve.
There was a vague blade in it as if it was shrouded in a strong light. It was impossible to see it clearly, only a blurry shadow of the blade could be seen.
"So you've been holding onto it all this time!" Bao Cheng said angrily with a pale face.
If he knew about this, he would have killed Chu Li directly. Why would he pay such a huge price? However, it was not too late now. When he thought of this, he squinted his eyes and a cold glint flashed in them.
Chu Li said, "This is the Formless Blade. Sect Leader Song, you'll know the real one when you see it. Goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and was about to disappear.
Bao Cheng scoffed angrily and reached out to catch it. His right hand approached Chu Li in the blink of an eye.
"Tss!" The Formless Blade in Chu Li's hand shot out.
Bao Cheng's body paused and his right hand stopped in front of Chu Li's chest. He stared at him blankly and then looked down at his chest.
There was a big hole in his chest. The Formless Blade had pierced through his heart.
All of his energy receded like a tide. He wanted to channel but realized that he could not exert any energy at all. He staggered and quickly covered his chest with one hand while his other hand tried to take out a spirit pill.
The Formless Blade appeared in Chu Li's hand again.
One of the wonders of the Formless Blade was that it could return on its own.
"Tss!" The Formless Blade was invisible and traceless. A hole had already appeared on Bao Cheng's forehead. The Formless Blade had already pierced through his forehead and flew out from the back of his head. It was still invisible and traceless as it returned to his hand.
Chu Li calmly watched as the light in Bao Cheng's eyes gradually dimmed. In the end, his eyes were still wide open and he died with a grievance.
He never thought that he would be killed by Chu Li, whose cultivation level was so low.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.
Bao Cheng's body let out a muffled "bang" and began to burn. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into nothingness. Not even ashes were left. This was the power of Hellfire.
Chu Li sat down with his legs crossed. His face had already returned to its original appearance. Then, he channeled the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.
He never thought that killing Bao Cheng would result in such a harvest and such a huge amount of merit!
Bao Cheng had actually caused so much harm over the years. It was truly shocking. Those who had committed a great deal of evil could not be compared to him. The merit he provided was close to ten times more, allowing him to directly reach the Merit Perfection Realm.
