Chapter 94 - Shiti Xibo Opens The Coffin
Jiu Shen remained seated even after hearing the mission given by the system. Although he liked to personally kill the old man, he felt that it was beneath him to kill such an insignificant lowlife. Furthermore, he also wanted to see how the itinerant cultivator Can Ye would fight with Shiti Xibo.
He had seen Can Ye’s decisiveness and his righteous personality. And if this guy was born with a great background in the Primordial God Realm, he would surely become a top saber expert.
"He’s physique... Not bad. Although it’s nothing in comparison to Lu Sulan’s Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body, it’s still a genuine Divine Physique. He can be nurtured." Jiu Shen muttered while nodding his head inwardly.
In the Primordial God Realm, there were some people who were already deemed as geniuses the moment they were born. They were blessed by the heavens with physiques that surpassed the norms!
There were three levels of physiques according to their strengths and abilities. The first one is the Divine Physique, followed by the Saint Physique, and lastly, the Immortal Physique!
Lu Sulan’s Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body fell under the category of Saint Physiques, but it was among the best within that level! Jiu Shen was even planning to promote her physique into the Glacial Immortal Heaven Burning Body after resolving the issue that had almost destroyed her.
Now, Jiu Shen discovered that this unassuming middle-aged itinerant cultivator was actually someone with a Divine Physique.
He could not help but feel doubtful about the history of Nuar. A mortal world that gave birth to two heaven-defying physiques? Who would believe that it was merely a coincidence? Jiu Shen was now becoming more curious about Nuar’s history. Perhaps this world even had some kind of connection with the Primordial God Realm...
"I need to come closer to them for me to know what kind of Divine Physique this man has..." Jiu Shen stood up abruptly, causing the sleeping Ice to fall on the ground. Her round body bounced on the floor making her let out a dissatisfied sound. "Meow!
Jiu Shen walked out of the store and watched the fight with his hands behind his back. He then took out a chair from his storage earring and sat on it.
Ice glared at Jiu Shen’s figure and trailed behind him by rolling her ball-like body. If not for her tail, anyone would have really thought that the rolling cat on the floor was a ball.
Ice jumped on Jiu Shen’s lap and stood with her two hind legs like how a human would. She then tried to smack Jiu Shen with her tiny paws, but she was mercilessly swatted away by Jiu Shen.
"Stinky human, if you anger this cute Ice any further, I will use my 10th-rank God realm strength to suppress you! Meow!" Ice complained telepathically.
Jiu Shen didn’t even bother looking at her, but he still replied in an indifferent voice. "Try and you won’t be able to drink milk for one month."
Ice’s expression froze and she could not help but make a very human-like wronged expression. "I was just joking hehe. Meow!"
She then sat on Jiu Shen’s lap and crossed her front legs like a kid throwing a tantrum.
"Eh? This old man is too ugly and smelly! He smells like a latrine pit! Blergh!" Ice covered her nose with her paws while glancing at the fight with disdain. A fight at this level was just too boring for someone like her. She was even stronger than Jiu Shen at the moment with her 10th-rank God realm cultivation!
Jiu Shen’s eyes narrowed as he studied Can Ye’s physique with his spiritual power. "Peerless Saber Divine Body... So he’s really fated to wield a saber..."
Unaware that he had already gained Jiu Shen’s acknowledgment, Can Ye waved his saber, producing rays of saber light that streaked towards Shiti Xibo like small lightning serpents.
Shiti Xibo was one realm stronger than Can Ye and was at the initial stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm, but he still felt threatened when those saber lights came his way. "I have underestimated you, itinerant beggar! Now, I will show you the strength of our Undying Corpse Sect!"
After blocking the saber lights with the stone coffin, Shiti Xibo placed his thin right hand on it and forced it open while chanting an incomprehensible incantation as if he was trying to awaken a slumbering demon. "Gu Mi Sing Ka Su Pot!"
The coffin sprang open making everyone see a human-shaped monstrosity!
It was unknown what kind of creature it was since only its rotting flesh remained. There was also some kind of metallic material forcefully stitched on its body. Its eye sockets were hollow, but a pail green light can be seen on each hole.
The creature then held two sides of the coffin with its long and ghastly arms and jumped out of it abruptly. It then issued an enraged roar as if it was furious for having been awakened.
"Roooaarrr!"
Everyone covered their ears while looking fearfully at the puppet that came out of the coffin.
"That thing is at the peak stage of the 7th-rank Emperor realm! We’re done for!"
"Hurry! We need to escape from here!"
"Run! Run!"
Shiti Xibo glanced mockingly at the scrambling cultivators and shouted with a crazed look. "Do you think you can run away from this lord?! Kekeke! Stay still and become a tonic for my puppet! Kekeke!"
He then sent a mental command to his puppet while looking at Can Ye with an ugly smile. "Kill those pests!"
The puppet let out another howl and the green light in each of its eye sockets became a shade brighter.
"Roooaarr!!"
Can Ye darted towards the puppet in a bid to stop it from killing the other cultivators, but Shiti Xibo was there to block his path.
The old man lifted the stone coffin in his hands and swung it towards Can Ye. "I’m your opponent! How dare you ignore me! Kekeke!"
Can Ye frowned and didn’t dare underestimate the stone coffin. It was even capable of blocking his saber strikes without receiving any substantial damage. This made him realize that the stone coffin was definitely a treasure! As for his saber, he had merely bought it from a random weapon shop. His weapon was definitely worth a crap compared to Shiti Xibo’s stone coffin!
