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

#158 - Chapter 158 Not a buddy...

Upon hearing this, Li Chenqiu immediately jumped off the tall, rich, and handsome guy, quickly retreating to the side.

“Can you escape?” A cold glint flashed in Meng Huo's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced towards the tall, rich, and handsome guy's blade.

Puchi!

Blood splattered, and Meng Huo's arm holding the dagger snapped in response, ghost-like, brushing past the tall, rich, and handsome guy.

The tall, rich, and handsome guy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he could only watch with his peripheral vision as Meng Huo rushed towards Li Chenqiu.

The corners of Meng Huo's mouth curled up, revealing a hideous smile. He looked at Li Chenqiu as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, his eyes full of excitement and greed.

Meng Huo shouted loudly in his heart, "Closer, closer, I'm going to succeed!"

At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu's mind moved, and with a "whoosh," he遁入(dùn rù) the ground, disappearing from the plain under Meng Huo's gaze.

Whoosh—

A gust of wind blew past, and Meng Huo remained in his ready-to-attack posture, stopping at the spot where Li Chenqiu had been.

“Ah?”

Meng Huo's eyes widened, and several large question marks appeared above his head.

What's going on? Li Chenqiu disappeared into the ground?

He... isn't he a fire element 天命者(tiānmìng zhě), so how could he遁入(dùn rù) the ground? Could it be that I'm under a幻术(huànshù)?

A series of doubts appeared in Meng Huo's mind, but before he could figure it out, the tall, rich, and handsome guy rushed straight up.

“Eat my invincible beautiful punch!”

Bang!!!

……

……

Li Chenqiu, who had escaped into the ground, did not go back up but rushed towards the giant python's location.

First, solve the giant python, rescue the kidnapped students, and then work with the tall, rich, and handsome guy to eliminate Meng Huo and turn him into his own魂兵(hún bīng). This is Li Chenqiu's current plan.

At this time, Huang Ping was still unaware of the impending disaster and was thinking about his future path.

“After Meng Huo kills Li Chenqiu, should I just run away with the灵玄器(líng xuán qì)?”

Huang Ping, hidden in the meat wall, scratched his head, his brows full of entanglement.

Leaving directly with the灵玄器(líng xuán qì) would be very beneficial for his future development.

But once he did that, it would be a betrayal of the New World. Was it worth offending the top复苏者(fùsū zhě) forces for a single灵玄器(líng xuán qì)?

Huang Ping was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to choose for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Ping clenched his fist and made up his mind.

“Damn it, do it! A gamble can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, a fight can make you rich forever!”

Huang Ping's pupils trembled, his eyes full of madness. Just as he wanted to change direction and escape, a voice came from all directions.

“Do you dislike me that much? I just arrived, and you want to leave?”

Li Chenqiu's gaze passed over the piled-up dirt, looking towards Huang Ping's location.

“Hmm?” Huang Ping's body shook.

He was too familiar with this voice; wasn't it Li Chenqiu's voice?

His nerves instantly tensed, and he carefully sensed everything around him using the giant python's earth element ability, trying to find Li Chenqiu's location.

Rumble—

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from underground, and the soil around Huang Ping squeezed to both sides, completely revealing the giant python's massive form.

Thump, thump, thump...

Muffled footsteps echoed in the darkness, reverberating in the enclosed underground space.

“What's going on? Why can't I sense him?”

A layer of fine sweat oozed from Huang Ping's forehead, and an inexplicable fear quietly spread in his chest.

“Who are you?” Huang Ping asked, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

Li Chenqiu said coldly, “Don't you know who I am? I'm asking you, where are the students?”

Huang Ping seemed not to have heard the second half of Li Chenqiu's words, shouting to himself:

“Li Chenqiu? You can't be Li Chenqiu. He was clearly killed by me. Even if he's not dead, he's seriously injured. Who exactly are you? Stop pretending and get out of here.”

Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow, and with a thought, a small, constantly swaying flame sprang up from his palm.

The gradient color of red and black pulled Li Chenqiu out of the darkness, clearly reflecting the lower half of his face, alternating back and forth between black and red.

“This...” Huang Ping's eyes widened, staring at Li Chenqiu in disbelief: “I clearly...”

Li Chenqiu calmly stared at Huang Ping: “I'll ask you one more time, where are the students?”

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu lifted his arm to the side, his five fingers slightly bent.

Bang!

The next second, Ember, which had been buried underground, was rolled up by the dirt and sent to Li Chenqiu's hand, where he firmly grasped it.

“Dude, not cool...”

Huang Ping, who witnessed everything, was completely dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? Turning into a living person is one thing, but how can you control the earth? Is this reasonable?

Seeing that Huang Ping had not moved for a long time, Li Chenqiu's last bit of patience was exhausted.

He arched his eyebrows: “Forget it, they're inside you anyway. I'll kill you and find them myself.”

After speaking, Li Chenqiu extinguished the flame in his palm, and the place fell into darkness again.

Although Huang Ping and Li Chenqiu could both control the earth, their abilities were not on the same level. One was a commoner, and the other was a king.

Li Chenqiu could sense Huang Ping's location through the dirt, but Huang Ping could not sense Li Chenqiu's location through the dirt. After all, how could a commoner see a king?

In the darkness, a piercing sound of rushing wind rang out.

Li Chenqiu flashed to the giant python's front like a ghost, and with a "噗嗤(pūchī)" sound, the sharp sickle blade pierced straight into the giant python's eyes.

Blood spurted out along the sickle blade, splashing on Li Chenqiu's jaw.

“Ah ah ah!”

Huang Ping's miserable cry echoed in the darkness.

Huang Ping's ability was called Spirit Infusion, a very special 特异系(tè yì xì) ability.

Whether it was a person or a beast, as long as the other party died, Huang Ping could enter the other party's body and then freely control them.

Huang Ping could use the corpse's abilities from when it was alive, and the corpse would also gain Huang Ping's ability to regenerate infinitely. The two would be closely linked together, possessing everything of the other, including the injuries suffered.

Inside the giant python, Huang Ping covered his bleeding eyes, gritting his teeth and said, “Die for me!”

Rumble—

The soil slammed towards Li Chenqiu like ocean waves. At the same time, the giant python's tail tore through the air, whipping towards the top of Li Chenqiu's head.

Just as these two attacks were about to land on Li Chenqiu, a strange wave spread out from his body.

Those dozens of earth waves suddenly changed direction, slamming straight into the snake's tail.

Bang!

A deafening sound resounded underground, and the swift gale carried pebbles along the way, hitting the earthen walls and smashing out pits of varying depths.

The giant python's tail instantly split open and fell powerlessly to the ground.

“Ah! What the hell!”

Huang Ping clutched his torn buttocks, kneeling on the ground with a grimace.

Being able to control the earth is one thing, but how can you control the earth that I control? Is this reasonable?

The outside Li Chenqiu did not stop his movements because of Huang Ping's curses. With a wave of his hand, countless thick earth chains condensed from the soil rushed out of the ground, tightly locking the giant python in place, fixing it in place and preventing it from moving.
