Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#254 - Chapter 254 Your Lord

Meng Huo nodded and disappeared into the spot as a wisp of black smoke.

"You are…"

"Help, help…"

"Ahhh!"

Waves of shrill screams echoed in the narrow passage.

With each step Li Chenqiu took, several wisps of black smoke darted out from the nearby door seams, floating beneath his feet, as if welcoming their king.

Relying on his excellent memory, Li Chenqiu turned left and right in the passage, rapidly approaching the room where Xiang Nanzhi was being held.

…

Inside the room where Xiang Nanzhi was, Zhou Hai gripped a dagger tightly in both hands, sticking close to the wall on the left side of the door.

At this moment, his face was stiff, and beads of sweat oozed from his skin, slowly sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the cold, gleaming dagger, his eyes trembling slightly.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhou Hai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his heart filled with intense fear.

The successive screams were like needle tips, stimulating his nerves and intensifying the panic in his heart.

Zhou Hai bit his lip, his left hand trembling as he reached for the doorknob, applying slight pressure.

Click—

"Ahhh!!!"

A terrified scream came from the opposite door, scaring Zhou Hai into immediately closing the door that was not completely open yet, and retracting his hand like lightning.

"Hah… Hah…"

Zhou Hai gasped for breath, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Wu, who was on the opposite side, had similar strength to him. Without even going through the motions of fighting back, he directly jumped to screaming. How strong must the person who attacked him be!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hai's face became even paler. He completely gave up the idea of resisting, and frantically ran to the sofa, squeezed under the sofa close to the concrete floor, held his breath, and stared in the direction of the door.

Bang!

The alloy iron door, like paper, crashed into the wall, smashing a deep pit.

Li Chenqiu stepped into the room and looked at Xiang Nanzhi, who was hanging on the cross. Sensing something, Xiang Nanzhi raised his head, and their eyes met directly.

They looked at each other in silence, sharing a knowing smile.

Hiding under the sofa, Zhou Hai covered his mouth, his breathing and heartbeat weakened to the extreme, for fear of letting a second person hear his voice.

Following Zhou Hai's gaze towards the door, he could only see the black smoke surging around Li Chenqiu's calf.

Tap, tap, tap…

Li Chenqiu's muffled footsteps matched Zhou Hai's rapidly beating heart, constantly approaching, passing the sofa, stopping in front of the cross, and softly saying: "You can go now."

As soon as the words fell, a wisp of black smoke, like a wandering snake, circled around Xiang Nanzhi a few times.

Crack, crack—

The iron chains binding Xiang Nanzhi broke in response, and the wisp of black smoke transformed into a human form, catching Xiang Nanzhi's body as it fell forward.

Xiang Nanzhi grinned: "I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."

Li Chenqiu reached out and put his hand on Xiang Nanzhi's shoulder: "Fortunately, your image in my heart is unreliable, otherwise I wouldn't carry a soul weapon with me."

"You jerk…"

Li Chenqiu did not give Xiang Nanzhi a chance to speak, and directly ordered: "Take him to the Ghost Ship."

The soul soldier flashed and disappeared with Xiang Nanzhi in his arms.

Under the sofa, after hearing Li Chenqiu's voice, Zhou Hai's pupils dilated uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with suppressed shock.

This voice… wasn't this Jiang Huaijin's voice?

Puzzlement, shock, fear, regret…

All kinds of different emotions arose in Zhou Hai's heart, mixed together, making his head buzz.

So much so that he didn't even notice Li Chenqiu stopping in front of the sofa.

"Coming to your territory as a guest, why are you lying under the sofa?"

Li Chenqiu bent down and sat on the coffee table, leisurely crossing his legs.

There was still some time before the killing ended, and his time was still abundant.

Li Chenqiu's words were like thunder, awakening Zhou Hai, but he did not act rashly, still quietly lying under the sofa.

"What's wrong, do you need me to invite you out?"

Li Chenqiu's mouth curled up, he stretched his toe under the sofa, and with a forceful upward flick, the two-meter-long leather sofa fell backward, breaking into two pieces with a "bang".

Zhou Hai's figure was completely exposed in the bright light.

He stiffly raised his head, and what came into view was Li Chenqiu's face, hidden in the shadows against the light, and those cold eyes, and mocking corners of his mouth.

"Jiang… Huaijin… what… what do you want to do?"

Zhou Hai trembled as he spoke, while supporting himself with both hands, cautiously standing up, retreating step by step, the fear in his eyes undisguised.

Li Chenqiu stood up, approaching Zhou Hai step by step, innocently spreading his hands: "Uncle Zhou, why are you retreating, am I that scary?"

Zhou Hai had nowhere to retreat, leaning against the wall, he said with a forced courage: "You are only in the Second Realm, how exactly did you kill them, what kind of shady methods did you use?"

Li Chenqiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle Zhou, if you are curious, you can try it, I'm just standing here, waiting for you to pierce my chest again."

"Jiang Huaijin!" Zhou Hai mustered his courage, pointed at Li Chenqiu's nose and shouted loudly: "You don't know yet, do you? The Humansnake Tribe has already planted a bomb in your head. If they want you to die, you have to die!"

"Oh?" Li Chenqiu's mouth opened slightly, and he reached out to touch his brow.

Seeing Li Chenqiu's reaction, Zhou Hai's expression lit up, and he hurriedly said again: "Although you have already caused a great disaster and are destined to die, this matter has a turning point!

As long as you let me go, the two of us collude with each other and push the blame onto others, then you will not only not die, but may also be heavily cultivated by the Humansnake Tribe and have a broader sky, how about it?"

"A broader sky?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows, looking at Zhou Hai like he was an idiot: "I am a narrow-minded and vindictive person. Compared to a broader sky, I would rather listen to your screams…"

Whoosh—

Before Li Chenqiu could finish speaking, Zhou Hai grabbed the dagger hanging from his waist and rushed towards Li Chenqiu with a ferocious expression. A gleam of cold light quickly magnified in Li Chenqiu's eyes.

"Die!" Zhou Hai shouted loudly.

The distance between the two was very close, only a few meters. In just a moment, Zhou Hai's dagger blade came before Li Chenqiu's brow, only a hair's breadth away.

But this hair's breadth was like a chasm, impassable!

The dagger blade, so close, was constantly trembling, Zhou Hai's face was flushed red, even using all his strength was in vain.

Seven or eight soul soldiers firmly held Zhou Hai down, making him unable to move, like a mummy, maintaining his original posture.

"That was quite fast, almost succeeded, what a pity."

Li Chenqiu smiled, brushed away the dagger blade at his brow, and gently patted Zhou Hai's red but cold face.

Zhou Hai asked in a trembling voice: "You… who… who exactly are you?"

"Your master."
