Chapter Eleven: The White Club

A fierce recommendation for the new novel "Beast Demon Fox Immortal" by Burned-Body Yy Demon Beast. That guy only writes lustful, raunchy stories, and I’m sure he won’t disappoint anyone. Book number: 144106

"Here you go!" Yuan Mu, ever thoughtful, reached out and tossed the Falling Star over to him.

Li Chengzhu casually flicked a hand and knocked the sword back. "I have my own treasure."

Yuan Mu grinned, not standing on ceremony with Boss Li, and hefted the Falling Star in one hand, spraying spittle as he spoke. "You go first, or should I?"

"You go first," Boss Li said blandly. If he were not worried that he alone could not defeat the combined attack of these two immortals, Boss Li would even have liked to knock Yuan Mu unconscious as well. After all, the fewer people who knew about that thing of his, the better. Still, Li Chengzhu would rather believe Yuan Mu was of sterling character and could keep the secret for him.

His hands moved swiftly through the incantation seals, and in an instant the Ninefold Supreme Cauldron was cast out.

Only now did the second-grade immortal artifact, the Ninefold Supreme Cauldron, reveal its peak brilliance. Eight hundred golden flying swords surged and circled rapidly around Li Chengzhu, the wind howling, sweeping past the blades with a ringing metallic cry.

While he controlled the eight hundred swords from the rear to hold the field and lend Yuan Mu support, he also continued, without pause, to shape hand seals. Boss Li struggled to recall the image that had just flashed into his mind.

Just as the God-Slaying Bow had once granted Li Chengzhu elemental avatar magic for the first time, this time too, in its eruption, it had given Boss Li another great gift.

The second form of the God-Slaying Bow had been unleashed.

But the energy required for such a release was immense, and Li Chengzhu himself did not know where this green spiritual energy had come from. Using the essence of wood as a guide, it drew in the spiritual energy of the outside world for its own use. That much Boss Li understood. Just now, while breaking through the obstruction of the Crimson-Nourishing Immortal Pill, he could feel the power surging in from every direction into his body.

The sheer force of that energy horrified Boss Li. Fortunately, he had accidentally swallowed the Crimson-Nourishing Immortal Pill beforehand; breaking through the pill’s obstruction had already consumed quite a bit of energy. Otherwise, with the capacity of the meridians inside him at present, he definitely could not have contained so much spiritual power. The result would have been obvious: his body bursting apart.

That was why he had just struck the ground, hoping to disperse the excess energy.

The green spiritual energy slowly gathered inward, converging little by little upon the totem of the God-Slaying Bow in Li Chengzhu’s left hand.

The little creature perched on Boss Li’s shoulder, sniffing nonstop with tireless excitement, its tiny eyes widened to the utmost.

With every inhale, a strand of green energy flowed into its body.

This long-absent energy, since the single time it had absorbed it in the forest, the little creature had never tasted again. Only now, when Li Chengzhu had released it at last, could it hurry to seize the chance to drink it in.

Even with an unimaginably vast reservoir of energy as its foundation, Li Boss still found it extremely taxing to unleash the second form of the God-Slaying Bow. Fortunately, he had long since become one with the bow, and so he could barely hold on.

A full thousand and eight incantation seals later, when Li Chengzhu finished the final one, that rampant spiritual pressure suddenly vanished, and his left hand blazed with light.

In the next instant, a giant white mace, fully one and a half times Li Chengzhu’s height, appeared in his hand.

Boss Li nearly spat blood in fury.

After pouring his heart and soul into releasing the second form of the God-Slaying Bow, he had thought the weapon born from that swaggering, flamboyant bow would surely be equally magnificent.

He had never imagined it would turn out to be such a ridiculous thing. It did have a rather cocky air about it, yes, but wasn’t this too pitifully shabby?

What hurt Boss Li the most was that this mace did not even carry the slightest ripple of spiritual pressure, as though it had been molded from cotton candy—plump and white, with nothing useful about it at all, save for the spikes along the shaft that might frighten someone.

No matter how hard Boss Li racked his brains, he could not understand why the second form of the God-Slaying Bow, awakened by green spiritual energy, would be white.

Yuan Mu, single-handedly resisting two immortals, was forced back to Li Chengzhu’s side by the blows. Catching sight of him staring blankly at the white cotton candy in his hand, Yuan Mu immediately gaped. "Oh, so this is the so-called treasure of yours?"

Boss Li truly wanted to stuff this giant mace into Yuan Mu’s enormous mouth.

That would surely feel wonderful, Li Chengzhu thought darkly.

Only then did the two immortals finally relax. They had originally assumed that with such a commotion, something formidable would surely emerge, yet it turned out to be this. If judged by appearance alone, they would not have been so careless—but no, that thing clearly emitted not the slightest spiritual pressure, and was nothing more than a decoration. They could not help but smile with delight; their mission now seemed within reach.

They exchanged a glance, and the Two Forms Combined Strike Formation immediately attacked Yuan Mu and Li Chengzhu.

"Stop standing there in a daze!" Yuan Mu shouted and charged forward.

Since he had already sunk into despair, he might as well despair to the end. Boss Li cursed his way through several profanities before forcing his mood back under control. He hefted the mace and followed close behind.

With the Ninefold Supreme Cauldron clearing the way ahead, and the protective barrier of the Verdant Blood Ring still unused, Li Chengzhu had no fear of being hurt.

Boss Li wanted to test whether this white mace, pale as a woman’s body, was really as useless as it looked.

The second form of the God-Slaying Bow finally erupted into its first battle. It met a sword of the immortals slanting in from the side.

Li Chengzhu widened his eyes and made ready for every possibility. If this mace shattered like tofu, he would immediately withdraw the eight hundred flying swords to block in front.

The mace and the immortal sword finally met.

No sound at all. No clash of metal.

That immortal sword plunged straight into the mace from root to tip. Li Boss saw it clearly: at the instant it met the sword, the mace opened a gash, like a brazen harlot spreading her legs to swallow the sword into her body.

"Damn it," Li Chengzhu said, his mouth hanging wide open.

A strong recommendation for the easygoing urban cultivation novel "My Path of Cultivation."

A great novel from Little Sage, 2007.
