Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 208 - Tiger in Trouble

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Tiger in Trouble?

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Tiger in Trouble?

Qi Yingpeng trembled with rage.

If Shi Hao had truly been crippled or even died, he would have definitely fought Lu Yun to the death, even if he were stopped by the strong martial artists of the Lu Family. He would also use his status as a four-star Pill Master, sparing no expense to ask Self-Observation strong martial artists to take action and annihilate Lu Yun.

But Shi Hao wasn’t dead, nor was he crippled, so, he forcefully suppressed this anger.

It was appropriate to put on a bit of a show, to express some outrage, to “confirm” that Shi Hao was indeed crippled, but if he really went to war with the Lu Family, what would become of Shi Hao?

The old man wasn’t stupid, otherwise how could he possibly become the president of Pill City?

“Good! Good! Good!” he bellowed to the sky but ceased speaking and directly carried Shi Hao away.

Lu Yun sneered; he considered himself a heaven-sent prodigy. How dare this old man have such an attitude towards him?

Humph, once he steps into Self-Observation, he will definitely eliminate this old man.

Pill Master? So what?

Was he the only Pill Master in this world? Without him, would there be no more Elixirs to consume?

And of course, the happiest about the news of Shi Hao’s crippling was the Ceng Family.

They were originally worried that the Lu Family would value Shi Hao highly, but they hadn’t expected Lu Yun to strike personally and cripple Shi Hao.

A crippled man, just let him eke out an existence. Perhaps this was a better form of torture, allowing pain to gnaw at his heart constantly.

Imagine, a genius who could even surpass five levels in cultivation, turned into a cripple overnight. How excruciating must the pain be whenever he thought of it?

Good! Good! Good!

Wu Jiangtao and Pan Ze were also thrilled. Upon hearing the news, they wished they could burst into song.

Now that the upstarts’ contest was over, the Lu Family began selecting standout individuals from the competition. Xiao Hei had revealed a talent for fighting beyond three minor levels, and naturally, the Lu Family took notice and sent people to recruit him.

However, they were a step too late as Xiao Hei, along with his big yellow dog, had already cleared out.

— He had been taken to Pill City by Qi Yingpeng ahead of time.

The Lu Family might be powerful, but unless absolutely necessary, they would certainly not rip their faces off with the Alchemy Dao and forcibly break into Pill City to capture people.

This matter would be put on hold for now.

…

“Young Master Shi, are you really okay?” Qi Yingpeng asked repeatedly. In his eyes, Shi Hao would be the future leader of the Alchemy Dao, leading it onto a whole new level.

In the future, the limit of Alchemy Dao would not be five-star Pill Masters but six-star, or even seven-star, eight-star!

He had strong faith in Shi Hao.

And for this reason, he was incredibly anxious; Shi Hao absolutely could not have any mishaps.

Shi Hao nodded: “I’m fine.”

The last blow had made him spit blood, but it hadn’t caused any fundamental damage. After recovering for a few days, he would be bouncing around again.

“You, a genius of Alchemy Dao, why bother fighting fiercely with others?” Qi Yingpeng couldn’t help but complain. Although he was a strong martial artist from the Nine Islands, he had scarcely been in conflict with anyone.

A Pill Master of his stature, did he need it?

He only needed to refine some Elixirs, and naturally, hordes of Martial Artists would eagerly offer their help.

Shi Hao merely smiled. He didn’t want to be enemies with Lu Yun; it was the other party who had seemingly lost his mind and initiated the conflict.

However, things were different now. Since Lu Yun had struck him, he would definitely repay the favor twofold.

“What do you plan to do with this Cangyan Fruit?” Qi Yingpeng didn’t say much more, because in his heart, Shi Hao was his mentor.

So, at most, he could only give a few words of advice.

Shi Hao smiled: “Of course, I’ll eat it.”

Huh?

Qi Yingpeng was startled because, in his view, Lu Yun’s act of offering the fruit was actually a form of sarcasm, filled with intense humiliation.

Do you still want it?

“Why wouldn’t I?” Shi Hao said with a smile, “Lu Yun thinks I’m a cripple, so he generously gave away the Cangyan Fruit, intending to torment me by having me look at this thing once I’m clear-headed.”

“In my eyes, it’s something that can enhance my strength, and only by increasing my strength can I defeat Lu Yun.”

“So, why would I waste it?”

Hearing this, Qi Yingpeng couldn’t help but frown.

It seemed that Shi Hao was full of resentment.

That was understandable; if he were in his position, he would certainly want nothing more than to catch Lu Yun and trample him to death, one foot at a time.

The problem was, Lu Yun was the genius of the Lu Family, a four-star power. What kind of strength would one need to kill Lu Yun and get away with it completely?

Even if one had just enough strength to kill Lu Yun and managed to do it, they would still incur the wrath of the Lu Family. This would likely be a fight to the death.

Is it worth it just for a breath of relief?

However, Shi Hao was in the heat of anger, so he naturally didn’t try to persuade him, planning to talk about it after some time had passed.

“If you die, I’ll kill Lu Yun for you,” Xiao Hei suddenly said at this moment, “as repayment for you providing for my food and drink these days.”

“I also passed on a cultivation technique to you!” Shi Hao added.

Xiao Hei thought about it seriously: “Then you can choose how Lu Yun dies.”

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh. This guy was indeed interesting, with quite a sense of dark humor.

Qi Yingpeng, on the other hand, twitched the corners of his mouth; these two didn’t seem like normal people at all.

Shi Hao calmly rested and recovered; he had his own refinement of medicinal elixirs, and in just three days, he was almost fully healed.

He moved a chair and sat in the courtyard, beginning to reflect on his recent actions.

He had kept a low profile, but still somehow inexplicably tangled with Lu Yun.

Wait a minute.

He thought back to the auction day, where Lu Yun accompanied An Yuemei, so it was very likely that Lu Yun was interested in An Yuemei; and An Yuemei had come to him for elixir refinement at night… Could this be the main reason for the trouble?

His slow reaction was due to his own insensitivity to relationships. He always felt there were so many interesting things in the world; why should he seek out a woman?

Then, he couldn’t help thinking of Lin Yuyue, Luo Qing’er, and Xia Mengyin.

He paused for a moment, smacking his lips, and realized… perhaps women were quite interesting after all.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.

What’s going on?

After a while, Wu Jiangtao barged in, followed by a servant with a helpless expression on his face.

“Young Master Wu, you can’t go in; the chief said that Young Master Shi needs to rest well,” the servant still tried to persuade.

Wu Jiangtao, however, didn’t care; with Shi Hao incapacitated, he was now the best talent in Pill City. Even if he did something excessive, he could be forgiven.

Moreover, now that Shi Hao was crippled, if he couldn’t show off in front of him, what was the difference between that and traveling incognito?

He wanted to mock Shi Hao to his face. So what if you were once an Alchemy Dao genius, so what if you were dearly cherished by Qi Yingpeng—at present, you can’t even lift a finger!

“It’s okay, Shi Hao and I are great friends!” he said with a smile, “Aren’t we, Young Master Shi?”

He deliberately walked in front of Shi Hao because he “knew” that Shi Hao’s meridians were all destroyed, so of course, his head couldn’t possibly move either.

Ha ha, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
