This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 253: What a soft bone, only the mouth is tough

Guan Ling frowned, feeling angry. He glanced at Xiang Yuan who was still retching, and smiled, "You are right. There is indeed an ugly one-eyed woman with scars all over her body in this room. She is also missing an arm. She looks like a demon and is disgusting."

"You old lady with powder on your face, please have some self-awareness. My eldest sister is as beautiful as an angel, and you are the ugly one."

Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes: "Beautiful skins are all alike, but interesting souls are rare. Your ugly heart cannot be covered up no matter how you whitewash it. Please don't point your sagging chest at me. I'm still young and deserve better."

Guan Ling’s attack power is very high, and Xiang Yuan is not bad either. With just a few words, he silenced Guan Ling on the spot.

She stood up, took a deep breath, and took two deep breaths. Her condescending look was particularly contemptuous.

If it were twenty years ago, when she and Guan Yan stood together and someone called her beautiful girl, she would promise not to look back.

But now, the beautiful woman is so confident that no matter how sharp Xiang Yuan's words are, the reality is in front of her and there is no need for her to argue.

However, the old lady and the sagging did irritate her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She sneered, "As expected of my cousin, after all these years, there are still blind young men who bow down to you. We have a deep sisterly love, and I am kind-hearted. I will pay for a wedding for you, so that you won't die without a wedding."

Guan Yan remained silent, his body trembling slightly, and one hand clenched into a fist.

"Oh, it seems my cousin is very happy too!" Guan Ling laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter.

"I don't agree with this marriage!" Xiang Yuan interrupted.

"My cousin is as beautiful as an angel, why don't you agree?"

Guan Ling sneered and pretended to be enlightened: "So that's it, you are not blind, you know that my cousin is an ugly woman, I want to vomit when I see her, and I don't want to marry her."

After that, she added to Guan Yan delicately: "Look, cousin, this man is so hypocritical. He knows that you are ugly, but he still insists on saying that you are beautiful."

"No, what I mean is that marriage is a major event in life and can't be messed with."

Xiang Yuan said seriously, "Big Sister and I have only known each other for a few days. It's too much to talk about marriage all of a sudden. We should at least spend some time dating and see if our personalities are compatible."

"..." x2
Even though they knew he was lying, the two women remained silent.

Guan Yan looked at Xiang Yuan with emotion, thanking him very much for speaking out for justice, and signaled him with her eyes to stop talking.

I am the fish on the chopping board. When I am about to die, if I say too much, I won't even have a happy death.

Guan Ling refused to give in and turned to her husband, the city lord, and said, "This kid won't cry until he sees the coffin. Before I kill them, I want to give them a wedding. I want to see if he can keep pretending until the end when he enters the bridal chamber."

"Come if you want. But let me make it clear that I want to be present during the banquet." Xiang Yuan snorted twice, acting as unconcerned as a piece of meat on a chopping block.

Guan Yan shook her head repeatedly at Xiang Yuan's reckless attitude, and felt even more moved. Xiang Yuan did not forget to consider her self-esteem and face at the last moment, which meant that she did not save the wrong person.

"Congratulations, cousin, you are getting married. Although the man is a little mentally handicapped, he has a handsome face and is a good match for you." Guan Ling acted as a matchmaker and was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.

"Madam, stop it. With your status, there is no need to do such boring things."

The city lord stood up and slowly walked to Guan Ling's side, locking his eyes with Xiang Yuan: "Tell me, who are you and why were you able to pass the enhanced surgery with the genetic modification fluid perfectly?"

Xiang Yuan then stood up. He was about 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than the city lord and his wife. He raised his head slightly and pointed his nose at the two of them.

After a while, he squatted back and nudged Guan Yan next to him with his elbow: "Well, what's the city lord's name?"

"Wang Genji."

"receive."

Xiang Yuan stood up and pointed his nose at the two of them: "You are Xiao Wang, right?"

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and changed his words: "You are the foundation, right?"

That doesn’t seem right either.

What a crappy name! The Wang family is the number one noble family and local tyrant in the underground city. Is it really okay to give the eldest young master this name?
He couldn't help but suspect that Old Wang next door was not strong enough and was attacked by the bull-headed man. He was bullied again, so he named his adopted son Wang Genji in anger.

Wang Genji was quite annoyed by Xiang Yuan's condescending nostrils. He had always been the only one looking down at the dungeon, and this was the first time he was looked down upon by someone else. Moreover, this pair of nostrils that were expanding and snorting really deserved a beating. The more he looked at them, the more he wanted to punch them.

After all, he was a decent city lord who never forgot the elegance of aristocracy. Wang Genji frowned, suppressed the urge to punch him, and raised his hands and clapped a few times.

Outside the door, Pei Jin pushed it open and walked in, frowning at the unruly Xiang Yuan, thinking that he was courting death, and stepped forward to press Xiang Yuan's shoulders and exerted force.

Not sent.

Xiang Yuan sat back smoothly.

"You're such a coward. You're just tough on the outside but not on the inside." Guan Ling sneered.

"Grandma, you've seen and eaten it, so why do you say soft bones are not hard? There is clearly only one..."

Xiang Yuan was stunned in the middle of his words, and looked at Wang Genji with sympathy: "So that's it, you are not a perfect case, you exploded during the strengthening process."

Then Yile said, "Give it a name whatever is needed," and grinned at Guan Yan, with his back teeth showing.

"..." x4
Xiang Yuan's painting style was incompatible with the City Lord's Mansion. Guan Yan lost all the sadness before his death. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether he should smile or not.

She had never eaten it nor seen it before, so she pretended not to understand the dirty joke.

Pei Jin's head hurt even more. Seeing that the city lord's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he pulled out the pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet, and presented it with both hands.

Wang Genji took out a white glove from his pocket, put it on, took the pistol, pointed the muzzle at Xiang Yuan's forehead, and said to Guan Yan beside him: "I thought that after twenty years, you should have given up those unrealistic fantasies. I didn't expect that you really discovered a civilian with outstanding talents."

Wang Genji judged others by himself, and was obviously overthinking. Guan Yan did not explain, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let him go, he knows nothing. In exchange, I can tell you all the secrets of the Guan family."

"Cousin, is there any secret of the Guan family that I don't know?"

Guan Ling chuckled and put her hands on her husband's shoulders, looking like a loving couple: "Or do you think the Guan family still has reservations about the City Lord's Mansion?"

Just as Guan Ling said, Wang Genji knew all the secrets of the Guan family, even more than Guan Yan, but the latter decided to take a gamble, betting that Wang Genji was suspicious by nature and suspected that her branch of the Guan family still had reservations.

Guan Yan had lived enough. She had been staggering for the past twenty years, unable to breathe due to the heavy burden on her shoulders. Death was a relief for her, but it was different for Xiang Yuan. It was a pity that he died with such an excellent talent and so young, before he could realize his potential.

"Haha, the Guan family still has secrets that I don't know about?"

Wang Genji laughed out loud: "You can say this and ask me to let him go in exchange for the secret. This only proves that you are the one who knows nothing."

"What do you mean?" Guan Yan was stunned.

"Your uncle and aunt have protected you very well. You don't know the real secrets of the Guan family."

Wang Genji’s smile grew wider: “Otherwise, you should understand what it means for this kid to become a perfect Qiyuan-level. It seems that I was overthinking it. You really don’t know anything.”

After saying that, he pulled the trigger.

boom!
With the audible sound of a gunshot, Xiang Yuan's body froze and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Guan Yan's pupils suddenly shrank as she watched Xiang Yuan's slowly falling body. All the strength in her body was drained away, and the light in her eyes disappeared. She also completely lost the meaning of living.

Looking back over the past twenty years, I have done nothing and achieved nothing. I regret that I did not die in the fire, but instead relied on my crappy will to survive to survive.

What's the point of struggling in vain, as if her survival could really change anything.

"it's your turn."

Wang Genji pointed the gun at Guan Yan: "Although I really want to tell you what the secrets between our two families are, I am not a talkative person, and you are not qualified to know these."

boom!
There was a gunshot.

Shot empty.

Before the gunshot, Guan Yan was kicked in the right waist and flew four or five meters sideways. He stared in amazement at Xiang Yuan who had kicked him, wondering how a man could still be alive after being shot in the head.

If it was a bioelectric phenomenon, the kick was so powerful that it almost broke her ribs.

Pei Jin was also very surprised. He quickly protected the city lord and his wife behind him, and looked at Xiang Yuan who slowly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had just undergone enhanced transformation and had not yet learned how to control energy, so he was not even a beginner. Even with perfect Qi Yuan-level talent, and with the suppression of two handcuffs and the continuous extraction of energy, he was unable to hold up the shield to block the bullets.

So, why didn't he die?
Pei Jin was horrified, as were the city lord and his wife, especially Wang Genji, whose face was sinister and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"I'm cooperating so well with you, and it seems like your marksmanship is amazingly accurate. Why don't you tell me the secret?"

Xiang Yuan stood up, raised his hand to remove the bullet from his forehead, and started complaining.

A true villain should reveal all his schemes and intrigues when he is in control of the overall situation, and then watch the protagonist turn his anger into strength, shouting about love and bond, and then perform a set of combined skills, and finally die. Wang Genji is undoubtedly unqualified as a villain. He doesn't talk too much and just shoots.

This is wrong, there shouldn't be such a clear stream among villains.

"you you……"

Guan Yan's eyes were filled with surprise. She looked at the bullet dropped on the ground in disbelief. Until now, she still couldn't believe what she saw.

"Impossible, you have two handcuffs on your body and the energy in your body has been drained long ago!" Guan Ling said in a low voice.

"Well said, this is the line a villain should say, Grandma, I can tell at a glance that you're in the seventies circle, keep it up, I'm starting to like you a little bit."

Xiang Yuan shook his arms and separated the handcuffs that were entangled by the magnetic force: "It's just energy. You can have as much of this thing as you want. What's so strange about it? Isn't it the same for everyone?"

As he spoke, red light surged around him and the two bracelets on his wrists charged rapidly. When they reached the critical point, an alarm sounded and the energy exploded into metal fragments with a bang.

Guan Yan was dumbfounded. All the energy in her body could only fill 2 percent of one bracelet, but Xiang Yuan not only filled two bracelets, but also overloaded them without even exerting much strength.

Is this kid really Qiyuan level?
boom!
Pei Jin took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet shook slightly, and the air froze for a moment.

Countless red threads flowed out from his limbs and bones, similar to the opening of qi cavities. The control and application of energy in his body far surpassed the other Qiyuan-class people by ten drainage ditch turns and five straight-line accelerations.

There is no martial arts inheritance in the wasteland, and because of the introduction of external energy into the body, the enhancer is fixed once enhanced. There is no reference to the practice cases of predecessors, and everything depends on his own exploration.

Pei Jin's meticulous energy control makes him a rare martial arts genius in the Qianyuan Realm.

The laws of heaven and earth converged, spreading out invisible surging waves, and the shadow of a giant blood-red spider appeared behind it. One of its fangs pierced out, carrying with it a heart-pounding energy wave, and merged with Pei Jin's raised right arm, condensing into an energy sword that reflected the luster of solid metal.

He left a trail of afterimages behind him and rushed to Xiang Yuan, raising his sword high and bringing it down with such force that it struck Xiang Yuan's forehead in a flash.

A strong wind blew in his face, and Xiang Yuan imitated King Frieza and turned his head slightly, allowing the long sword to hit his shoulder.

Click!

There was a crisp sound, extremely harsh.

The moment the long sword touched Xiang Yuan, half of the sword flew off, and the remaining half exploded, collapsing in the blink of an eye, turning into countless fragments and flying everywhere.

In mid-air, the fragments of the broken sword turned into blood-colored energy and scattered in the air.

Pei Jin couldn't believe his eyes. He was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, as if he had been hit by a spell.

"So strong, so powerful, worthy of being the strongest person in the dungeon, so amazing!"

Hearing Xiang Yuan's exclamation, Pei Jin felt a chill in his heart. Then he reacted, tapped the ground with his toes, and stepped back suddenly.

Snapped!
Pei Jin was in mid-air when Xiang Yuan stepped forward and grabbed his face. His five fingers tightened like an iron hoop and his strong hands cracked his skull, making a sound of bones breaking.

Pei Jin's eyes were bloodshot, his face turned the color of liver, his arms were wrapped in red light, and the giant spider behind him was dancing wildly, beating Xiang Yuan's arms with all its might, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, and the power of heaven and earth couldn't shake Xiang Yuan in the slightest.

"Let me see which attack method is supported by the laws of heaven and earth. Pure use of energy... it's a bit crude!"

A white light flashed in Xiang Yuan's eyes, and he copied all the laws of heaven and earth that Pei Jin had demonstrated.

Originally, he was unable to contact the laws of the world in the wasteland. During the transformation surgery, he inhaled the energy extracted from the blood-colored crystal and was able to communicate with the laws of the world in the wasteland.

In a sense, this world has completed the revival of spiritual energy, or in other words, the revival of demonic energy.

It has just begun. In a thousand years or so, the wasteland will become the shape of demonic energy.

"Forget it. It's simple, but it works. I'm not a picky person..."

Xiang Yuan thought for three to five seconds and gave up on pursuing a fancy move. He held Pei Jin's palm, and a surging red light suddenly burst out. The terrifying energy fluctuation instantly awakened the city lord and his wife. Wang Genji jumped to the side without saying a word.

Guan Ling, who had no other good points except for her good looks, finally reacted. In her haste, she twisted her high heels and fell backward, sitting on the ground with her legs apart.

boom! !

A red light burst out from Xiang Yuan's hand, and its unstoppable force shattered all obstacles along the way. After evaporating Pei Jin, it passed over Guan Ling's head, shattered the floor-to-ceiling window, and passed across the sky above the central area.

Dazzling scarlet spots bloomed, and in the sky above the central area, blurry circles of red ripples spread out, shattering the blue sky and white clouds simulated by the projection, bringing down an aura of terror, and plunging the entire central city into darkness in an instant.

The emergency power came on and an urgent alarm sounded throughout the city. A large number of city guards rushed towards the city lord's mansion, along with private soldiers of the nobles and more than a dozen Qiyuan-level transformers with impressive momentum.

In the office on the second floor, Xiang Yuan took back his palm and looked at it, then nodded: "Not bad, the laws of heaven and earth, I like the rules here, and it's not like there is nothing to recommend it."

As he was speaking, he noticed a strange smell in the air.

It was not Pei Jin who had turned into a molecular form, but came from Guan Ling. The city lord's wife sat in a very unrestrained posture and secretly increased the humidity of the air.

"Grandma, I just started to like you and you did this."

Xiang Yuan pointed a finger, and red light burst out from his fingertips, piercing Guan Ling's eyebrows and shooting out from the back of his head.

After finishing the move, Xiang Yuan felt quite regretful.

Although killing is not too much, it was the first time for him to hate a woman so much. Even Ana Heiyan, who sacrificed a whole city at will, did not make him feel such strong disgust. It would be too easy for her to kill her directly.

They should be thrown into the civilian area and everyone should be called upon to follow General Li Xianyuan to the death.

"Forget it, the Pure Love God of War doesn't do this."

Xiang Yuan looked at Guan Yan, blinked his eyes and said, "Big sister, I killed your cousin in one fell swoop, you won't blame me, right?"

Guan Yan opened her mouth dryly, looking at Xiang Yuan who looked like a god descending from heaven. Her mind went blank, and she lost the ability to control her language. She said blankly, "Not that close."

"That's good, because I'm going to kill your cousin's husband next."

Xiang Yuan turned his head to look at Wang Genji, pointed a finger, and a red light gathered in his hand: "You just shot me, so I will return the favor. If you take this finger and survive, the grudge between you and me will be wiped out."

"Wait a minute, there are many secrets in the dungeon, I can tell you all!"

"I don't care about secrets now. I just want to have fun."

A red light burst out and pierced through Wang Genji's forehead. The latter fell backward and fell heavily to the ground. There was no sound or smile, only astonishment and horror.

Xiang Yuan came to Guan Yan, grabbed his one arm and pulled him up, then tore the silver bracelet into pieces. He looked around, picked up the eye patch and handed it over: "Cover it, this eye lowers your appearance."

"..."

Guan Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know how to look good because the fire had already burned her away. She took the blindfold and fastened it, then looked at the strange Xiang Yuan and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"East District 8, Li Xianyuan."

"What's the truth?"

"I am the Great Emperor Zhenwu, I am a god. I transformed into Li Xianyuan to save the underground city." Xiang Yuan said truthfully.

"..."

Even more fake than before.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. You'll understand after a while. I calculated with my fingers that it won't drag on until tonight at the latest."

Xiang Yuan turned and looked out the window, well, the window was gone, it should be called the wall, and saw hundreds of powerful city guards and more than a dozen Qiyuan-level transformers from noble families. He said, "Big sister, I don't know much about the Central District. You are a local, tell me, do these people deserve to die?"

Guan Yan fell silent after hearing this, knowing that his words would decide the life and death of everyone below. He opened his mouth to plead for mercy, but after a pause, he spoke the truth: "If we kill them all, there may be some innocent people, but if we kill every other person, there will definitely be some who slip through the net."

"I understand."

Xiang Yuan glanced at Guan Yan's empty left arm and said, "Don't move around here. I'll go pick out the most expensive prosthesis for you."

After saying that, he jumped down from the City Lord's Mansion, his eyes glowing red, and his body, which had not yet landed, slowly rose up and hovered in the air.

With a point of his finger, a red glow bloomed.

boom! !
