Chapter 1336 - 1336: Don't Try to Befriend Me

It seemed as though Three-Eyed Tiger was afraid Brother Cheng would not understand the situation and act too leniently, so he added fuel to the fire.

"Bro, they don't even take you seriously!"

"I just said you sent me, and they replied you're nothing special, totally disrespectful..."

"Alright, alright."

Jiang Cheng forcefully pushed him away, showing a face like he didn't recognize this shameless Tiger Demon.

He's been here for a while now.

He originally came to meet up with the Celestial Pill Department, so he witnessed Fan Lei being defeated by the Supreme.

He also saw Three-Eyed Tiger trying to form connections, using the name of the White Tiger Emperor, then getting embarrassed.

"The way you fail at showing off, fabricating revenge stories, it's remarkably like a spoiled second-generation rogue!"

"I almost thought you were the villain."

This time, he spent an extremely 'long' time to refine the Origin.

It took him over a hundred years to complete a phase.

So it counts as a Great Success in Divine Skills just now.

However, aside from Three-Eyed Tiger and Taiheng Liuyuan, other 'teammates' didn't have much confidence in him.

"Elder Jiang, the enemy is formidable, you shouldn't have appeared!"

Tian Lin Daoist Venerable looked worried and anxious.

"It's fine if we're killed, but if you fall here, it will be the greatest catastrophe in the history of the Alchemy Realm!"

Beihe also had a face of noble sacrifice and resolution.

"If worse comes to worst, we'll escort you out of the encirclement!"

Brother Cheng was feeling a bit amused.

Since when did he reach the point where others had to protect him to escape?

"No need to be so pessimistic, my combat capabilities are quite strong."

Back on Emperor Sword Star, didn't you admire my Thirteen Layer of Sword Dao?

"Elder Jiang must not be careless, this Yunmi Dao is extremely peculiar."

Jin Pi and Zhengxu, like right and left Guardians, held Dao Swords guarding him on both sides.

"Yes, the more people there are here, the stronger the fighting power, the disparity in numbers is too great between us and the opponent!"

"No matter how strong your power, it won't be effective."

"This battle is unwinnable."

Brother Cheng thought to himself that he had already known this.

"No worries, I have a way to win."

With that, he floated over to Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable's front.

Before he could speak, Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable spoke first.

"You're Jiang Cheng, right?"

Brother Cheng was slightly surprised, carefully scanning him up and down, but felt no recognition.

"Could you be a member of the Bear Race from the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Could he be a Demon King or Demon Venerable road character from the Bear Race?

Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable chuckled softly.

"Sorry to disappoint, I'm not a demon from the Ancient Immortal Realm. But your visit is quite convenient for me."

They were vicious assassins hired by the Celestial Palace to eliminate Jiang Cheng and Yan Yi.

Initially, seeing only Yan Yi, Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable was a bit disappointed.

He didn't know about the bet between Evil Immortal Realm and Celestial Palace, he just thought both targets must be killed.

"Now that you're here, don't think about leaving."

Murderous intent radiated from his eyes.

Being named by the other party like this, Brother Cheng truly felt a bit curious.

"Did you actually come specifically to kill me?"

Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable now held the winning card, the advantage was his, so he didn't care about hiding.

With a grim laugh, he said: "Yes, you and that Wolf Girl!"

"Our employer wants both of your lives."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Yan Yi both came to realization.

Their only commonality was being involved in that bet.

It seems the employer behind this must be either Celestial Palace or Evil Immortal Realm.

One side doesn't want to see the bet continue.

Brother Cheng didn't even need Mind Reading Technique to guess it was definitely Celestial Palace.

He doesn't have Celestial Heart, Celestial Palace knows they can't win, so they'd surely do something.

But Yan Yi guessed Evil Immortal Realm.

She didn't know Jiang Cheng lacked Celestial Heart, she assumed Evil Immortal Realm suspected she was influenced by Celestial Palace, so they wanted to extinguish her.

She felt inexplicably melancholic inside.

After clarifying the confusion, Brother Cheng was calm, lacking the anger of being plotted against.

After all, he wished for more people to plot against him.

"If your target is just me and her, why not spare the Celestial Pill Department?"

Logically, Celestial Palace wouldn't want the Celestial Pill Department completely wiped out.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable's eyes, filled with rage, flashed a hint of cunning.

"We can't use these Emperor Pill Masters, but we can sell them for a good price."

"Then, many will come to ransom them."

He chuckled sinisterly, "Why should I let that opportunity slip?"

Clap, clap, clap!

Brother Cheng couldn't help but applaud him.

"You really are a business genius."

Celestial Palace must be furious if they knew you were exploiting both sides without sparing the Celestial Pill Department.

His final question was, "That Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable you mentioned, could it be the Emperor Bear Pi from the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

In his memory, Emperor Bear Pi was referred to as Purple-Brown.

"What, do you know him?"

"Yes."

Brother Cheng nodded.

Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable's bloodthirsty grin widened extremely sarcastically.

"Is your next line to ask me to clear the way and spare you?"

Before Brother Cheng could say anything, he and the demons behind him burst into wanton laughter.

"You Human Race Cultivators really love networking!"

"It's unfortunate, but we demons don't buy that..."

"So what if you know Purple-Brown Daoist Venerable? We're going to kill you anyway!"

"Isn't it embarrassing, disappointing? Your lifeline won't help..."

"Look, that kid is dumbfounded, hahaha!"

Brother Cheng laughed.

"It's truly unfortunate, pointing you to survival but refusing to go."

He sighed.

Then he slowly pulled out a Tier Seven Dao Sword.

In the rear, Tian Lin and Beihe's hearts sank straight down.

Elder Jiang's connections don't work, it comes down to a fight to the death.

But with Yunmi Dao's special realm rules blessing the battlefield, they see no chance of victory.

"Elder Jiang, we'll assist you!"

"If we die, we die together!"

Brother Cheng quickly waved his hand.

"No need, no need."

"You, the ace forces, can't move lightly; I'll handle this..."

Seeing him well aware of the disparity in numbers yet daring to draw his sword, Cyan Bear Daoist Venerable coldly snorted.

"He knows not his life!"

In his eyes, Jiang Cheng was merely an Ultimate Realm.

In his view, his side could win even dispatching a Celestial Venerable.

Then he signaled with his eyes to a Celestial Venerable Hua Bao, whose entire body bore golden patterns, in the rear.

"Eliminate him."

That Celestial Venerable Hua Bao nodded.

Then with a sinister grin, a Speed Origin shot rapidly toward Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng raised his hand with a Speed Origin in response, clashing Origins with him.

Boom!

The two Origins collided together.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng was a bit unexpected.

The Celestial Venerable's Origin was merely borrowed, its intensity low, and because it wasn't refined, it was generally weaker.

But his Speed Origin was Thirteen Layer Profound Pattern's, refined over the years to rival the Daoist Venerable level.
