"Just looking at you gives off a sinister vibe. Even if I entrust the immortal to you, there's no guarantee the immortal's safety." Although Li Chengdao was afraid, he didn't back down an inch.
Wanyan looks like a patient in a mental hospital, and given his murderous intent, entrusting Fuxian to him might not guarantee her survival.
Perhaps, their fate will be even worse than if they fell into Jiang Rentian's hands.
"Immortal, I'll hold him off, you take this opportunity to leave!" Li Chengdao turned his head and whispered to the Broom Star.
However, Wanyan was, after all, an immortal, so his hearing was naturally excellent.
He scoffed, looking at Li Chengdao with disdain, "Hmph, you want to fight an immortal?"
Should we stall him?
This was probably the funniest joke he had heard in decades.
How dare a mere mortal, an old man at that, try to hold him back?
Even if his power is weak now, he is still an immortal, and a cursed immortal at that. Mortals are like ants to him.
But this person shamelessly claimed that he would hold him off.
“You are an immortal, and I am a mortal. I am naturally afraid of you, and I am certainly no match for you.”
“But I, Li Chengdao, also know that I cannot retreat, nor can I let you take the immortal away.”
"I've lived most of my life, eaten the finest delicacies, lived in grand villas, and enjoyed wealth and luxury. My life here has been worthwhile!"
Li Chengdao stood tall and looked at Wanyan with unwavering eyes, speaking as if giving his last instructions.
As soon as he finished speaking, he bit his finger, and his face instantly turned serious.
Even the Broom Fairy could sense that Li Chengdao's aura had changed.
Wanyan squinted and watched as Li Chengdao muttered something and drew a few lines on his body with his bleeding fingers. She knew what he was up to.
A trivial skill.
The more Li Chengdao painted on his body, the more blood he coughed up. His eyes were wide open, with the whites of his eyes covering most of them, as if he might faint at any moment.
He broke out in a cold sweat, and his movements became slower and slower. His hands felt like they were filled with lead, and he could hardly move.
The veins on his forehead, neck, and arms were bulging, but even so, he showed no intention of stopping.
When he couldn't exert any force, he clenched his teeth tightly, and blood seeped through his gums and flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“I investigated you before. You are a coward who is afraid of death, but now you are willing to sacrifice yourself for an immortal. This is not like you,” Wanyan said coldly.
He knew Li Chengdao's character well; he was a coward who feared death, and he was also a smooth talker, extremely skilled at swindling and deceiving.
I never imagined he would go to such lengths for a fairy he'd only met twice.
This is so unlike him.
"You don't actually think she can protect you, do you? Or do you think she can bring you good fortune so you won't die? Or are you gambling that after you save her, she will be grateful to you and you will receive great fortune?" Wanyan teased, then burst into laughter.
"I'm telling you, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. I'll make you disappear from this world without a trace." Wanyan stopped laughing and said sharply.
But Li Chengdao didn't stop; instead, he increased his speed even more.
Li Chengdao flicked his finger, and as he finished the last stroke, he took a step forward and lunged at Wanyan, tightly embracing his waist with both hands, his face contorted with pain.
"I did it for the immortals, but even more so for our world!"
"Even if I, Li Chengdao, die, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will never let you obtain the immortal, nor will I allow the plan to succeed!"
Li Chengdao spoke with a strong and forceful voice, each word spoken with a heavy breath.
He was afraid of death, but he could also distinguish between what was important and what was not.
He fears death in trivial matters, but he is not afraid of great matters.
Wanyan's plan is insane and is about to overturn the world.
If his plan were to actually be implemented and turn everyone in the world into superhumans, then the world would be completely different.
Those villains with superpowers will only become more vicious. They will take advantage of their abilities to commit robbery, bank robbery, or other illegal and disorderly acts, turning the world into a chaotic mess.
He absolutely will not allow it!
"Even if you die, you can't stop me," Wanyan said coldly.
What does Li Chengdao look like in his eyes?
Like a kitten or puppy that can't swim but is still struggling in the water.
Even though it was bound to drown sooner or later, it still struggled.
He thought that by doing this, he could become a hero in the eyes of others, and that his self-sacrifice was a great thing, but—
That was just his fantasy.
No one will remember what he did, and no one will thank him for it.
"I can't stop you, but it's good to buy you some time." Li Chengdao grinned, his blood-stained teeth particularly noticeable.
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the talisman on his body.
A golden light suddenly emanated from his body, and the words on the golden light seemed to come alive, separating from Li Chengdao's tattered clothes, surrounding them, and spinning rapidly.
Wanyan's expression suddenly turned ugly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "The Immortal Locking Formation! How do you know such an ancient formation!"
As the name suggests, it is an array that can lock down immortals, but it also comes at a price.
For example, my own life.
But this formation disappeared hundreds of years ago and has never been used since. How could he...?
"The Immortal Locking Formation originated from my Star Mountain, so what is there to be surprised about?" Li Chengdao replied.
After he followed his master up the mountain, the first formation he learned was not the most basic or introductory formation, but the Immortal Locking Formation.
He almost died then.
Fortunately, he wasn't very skilled at the time.
Later, his master forbade him from using the Immortal Locking Formation.
He thought he would never need to use it in his life, but unexpectedly, he still had the opportunity to use it.
He never expected that he would actually use this Immortal-Locking Array on an immortal.
"Immortal, run!" Li Chengdao shouted with all his might.
Wanyan's plan is to obtain the immortal. As long as the immortal escapes and goes to Jiang Yuan's side, Jiang Yuan can protect her.
Then Wanyan's plan was not far from failure.
He didn't need to stop him or beat him; he just needed to buy him a little time, just a little time would be enough!
Upon seeing this, the broom fairy strode away.
She knew why Li Chengdao did this, and she couldn't let him down.
She must not fall into the hands of the God of Misfortune!
Misfortune compounded by her bad luck, wouldn't that be...
I wouldn't even dare to dream of a broom spirit.
As Li Chengdao finished speaking, the golden light that had trapped them around them shone with a dazzling brilliance, and even Wanyan could feel the power brought by this talisman.
He hadn't expected Li Chengdao to be from Xingchen Mountain; he had thought...
Star Mountain has long been destroyed.
He had dealings with the people of Xingchen Mountain.
That young man left a very deep impression on him.
He was the only person in the sect, along with two children and two menial workers.
He had fought with that young man.
He won, but the young man didn't lose either.
