Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 633: Chapter 324: Rapid Consumption

The Array he had set up couldn’t block the Thunderstorm Talisman at all. If it exploded, his grandson would surely die!

Cheng Zongyang looked at Lin Changfeng’s slightly pale face, knowing the man must have used up a lot of his Spiritual Power.

But his Flying Cloud Shuttle also consumed a huge amount of energy. To dodge the Thunderstorm Talisman and enter the Wilderness World, he had loaded it with Top Grade Spirit Stones. Otherwise, the Low Grade Spirit Stones he usually used would never have been able to support a round trip at full speed.

"We’re both old foxes, so let’s drop the act," Cheng Zongyang said mockingly. "Take off all the Storage Pouches, Storage Rings, and anything like that, and throw them down. I don’t want to see a single one of them on you."

Lin Changfeng’s face darkened. He knew now that they were nowhere near Zi’an County, or even the Li City region.

Because there was no sea within Li City’s sphere of influence!

This meant Cheng Zongyang had teleported him to a location over the sea, far beyond either pole! This was an ultra-long-distance teleportation. It was hard to imagine such a small Teleportation Array could send someone hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Lin Changfeng was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He looked at Cheng Zongyang, a complex light flickering in his eyes. He knew that if he didn’t do as Cheng Zongyang demanded, his grandson might be in danger. But if he handed over his Storage Pouches and Storage Ring, it wasn’t just about his years of accumulated wealth; more importantly, they contained Spirit Revival Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and Elixirs for replenishing his Spiritual Power.

After a fierce internal struggle, Lin Changfeng finally decided to compromise.

’As long as my grandson is safe, I can get the Storage Pouches back after I kill this kid!’

Gritting his teeth, he took off the two Storage Pouches on his body one by one and viciously threw them toward the sea below.

"Kid, let my grandson go!" Lin Changfeng’s voice betrayed no emotion, but Black Death Qi was already beginning to seep out from behind him.

Cheng Zongyang’s heart leaped with joy as he watched the Storage Pouches fall toward the sea. But he didn’t immediately release Lin Changfeng’s grandson. Instead, he watched Lin Changfeng warily. "How do I know you don’t have any more on you?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Changfeng opened his clothes for inspection. But the killing intent in his eyes was so intense it was almost tangible.

In all his decades, he had never wanted to grind someone’s bones to dust so badly!

"You back away a good distance. Once I’ve made a safe getaway, I’ll naturally let him go," Cheng Zongyang said immediately, seeing that there were truly no more. He paid no mind to the other man’s overwhelming killing intent.

Although furious, Lin Changfeng didn’t dare make any rash moves. He slowly backed away, his eyes fixed on Cheng Zongyang.

Seeing Lin Changfeng retreat, Cheng Zongyang breathed a small sigh of relief.

He piloted the Flying Cloud Shuttle and slowly flew off into the distance. After flying for a while, Cheng Zongyang confirmed that Lin Changfeng wasn’t following. Only then did he stop the shuttle, toss Lin Changfeng’s grandson aside, and the Flying Cloud Shuttle transformed into a streak of light, vanishing in the direction where the Storage Pouches had fallen.

"Kid, I will make you wish for a fate worse than death!" Lin Changfeng instantly rushed toward his grandson, his voice carrying far across the distance.

Cheng Zongyang sneered, ignoring Lin Changfeng’s threat.

He knew that, at this point, the hatred between him and Lin Changfeng was irreconcilable.

Soon, the faster Flying Cloud Shuttle spotted the two Storage Pouches, which had been blown off course by the wind.

He collected them both and prepared to descend toward the sea.

But in the next moment, two wisps of Black Death Qi suddenly shot out from the Storage Pouches in his hand and entered Cheng Zongyang’s body!

Instantly, Cheng Zongyang frowned as he discovered that his True Essence and vital energy were being suppressed by the two wisps of Black Death Qi that had invaded his body, leaving him completely paralyzed.

High in the sky, Lin Changfeng felt the reaction from his Black Death Qi. A mocking smile touched his lips as he and his grandson boarded a Magical Artifact Flying Boat and gave chase to Cheng Zongyang.

But in the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

Not only had the Flying Cloud Shuttle and the person vanished, but even he could no longer sense the location of his Black Death Qi.

"What kind of Ability is this?!" Lin Changfeng arrived at the spot where Cheng Zongyang had disappeared, the shock in his eyes undeniable.

This was far more astonishing than when Cheng Zongyang had vanished before the thunderstorm!

But what followed was rage and a hint of panic.

The important things in his Storage Pouches!!

「Wilderness World」

Cheng Zongyang lay on the floor of the marketplace cabin. Although he was completely paralyzed, upon entering the cabin, a single thought from him was enough to strip the two wisps of Black Death Qi from his body.

Although the marketplace cabin was still under renovation with many of its functions disabled, as its owner, he still possessed the ability to use it for self-protection.

Cheng Zongyang sat up from the floor. He looked at the two wisps of black mist he had restrained before him, which seemed almost alive, and immediately used his appraisal ability.

’Something this strange can’t be ordinary black mist,’ he thought.

[Black Death Soul Power x2]

Description: By practicing a Cultivation Technique called the Shadow Evil Secret Technique, one can condense Evil Qi, Resentful Qi, and the Soul Power of those slain into Black Death Soul Power within the body. Black Death Soul Power can absorb and devour Evil Qi, Resentful Qi, and Soul Power to grow stronger. When it invades the body of a target whose Cultivation is not higher than one’s own, it can suppress the target’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits, rendering them immobile.

Restrictions: ① Requires practicing a Secret Technique from the Shadow Evil Secret Technique to control the Black Death Soul Power. ② Every twenty years, the Life Soul of a person with the Fate of the Celestial Killer Lone Star, who possesses both the Five Spirit Roots and Five Spirit Bones, and has reached the Qi Cultivation realm, must be integrated into the Black Death Soul Power. This suppresses the backlash from the Black Death Soul Power, nourishes it to become stronger, aids in Cultivation breakthroughs, and helps cultivate the Black Death Undying Body.

Additional Effects: Can transform into a Black Death Spirit and become a Spirit Monster; can be refined into a Black Death Pill to repair a damaged Soul.

Points: 500 x2

Seeing this description, Cheng Zongyang finally understood why he couldn’t move earlier. It wasn’t that he couldn’t mobilize his vital energy and True Essence, but that his Soul had been suppressed.

"This Cultivation Technique is truly bizarre!"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head, but he also felt that this thing was quite valuable. Not only could it be turned into a Spirit Monster to control as a subordinate, but it could also be refined into an Elixir!

’And these two wisps of Black Death are worth 1,000 Points. What about Lin Changfeng himself?’

Now, Cheng Zongyang was even more determined to capture Lin Changfeng!

Next, Cheng Zongyang didn’t rush to go back outside. Instead, he used his ability as the master of the marketplace cabin to directly strip the Restrictions from the two Storage Pouches.

Then, he emptied the contents of both Storage Pouches.

He was quite surprised when a stream of colorful Spirit Stones poured out of the first Storage Pouch.

He had seen Spirit Stones before, so the continuous flood of them made him marvel at how rich Lin Changfeng was.

When a small pile about four square meters in area and a meter high had formed, Cheng Zongyang grew a bit curious. He picked one up and appraised it.

When he saw that it was actually a Middle Grade Spirit Stone, his eyes widened.

"They’re really Middle Grade!"

If they were Low Grade, this amount wouldn’t be much. But as Middle Grade, it was a different story.

One hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones for one Middle Grade!

Cheng Zongyang continued to pick stones at random and appraise them. When the results all came back as Middle Grade Spirit Stones, he threw his head back and laughed.

He called for Luo Dingran to send people to count them. By his own visual estimate, there were at least six or seven thousand stones.

That was at least several hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones’ worth.

"I’ve made back what I spent on the Top Grade Spirit Stone," Cheng Zongyang said, very satisfied.

He then moved to another spot and emptied the other Storage Pouch.

The second Storage Pouch didn’t contain Spirit Stones, but all sorts of miscellaneous items.

There were over thirty Pill Bottles, Cultivation Method Books, Magical Artifacts, ordinary clothes, Spirit Medicines, Jade Scrolls, various Jade Boxes sealed with Talismans, food, and so on.

There was quite a lot.

Cheng Zongyang personally began to sort through everything. Finally, he unsealed the variously sized Jade Boxes that were covered with Talismans.

After opening the Jade Boxes, he found some Spirit Fruits, fresh Spirit Medicines, and Elixirs.

Cheng Zongyang wasn’t particularly interested in these things. His gaze finally landed on a wooden box made of Spirit Wood.

He opened it. Inside lay a black book, about two knuckles high. Written on the cover was—Dark Shadow Killing Secret Manual!

"Holy shit!!" Cheng Zongyang’s eyes widened.

Without a second thought, he used his appraisal ability on it.
