Chapter 1296: Slaughtering the Living!?

  When he remembered that he was stewing one of the Ten Daemon Kings, the Heavenly Frost Wolf King, Li Fengyuan felt a lot better as the Meat-stewing Heavenly King. He comforted himself inside,

  He immediately found himself to be much cooler, but he dared not mention this to Li Qingshan. He could only enjoy the thought of it alone.

  The fragrance became heavier and heavier. Dog meat was truly so fragrant that the smell would even sway immortals.

  “It should be done!” Rāhu Xiaoming said impatiently. Asura particularly liked fine alcohol and fine food.

  The sky was already brightening up. Dawn would be arriving very soon.

  “Alright, let me have a taste.”


  Li Qingshan lifted the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End. The huge, wild blade clearly was not suitable for cutting meat. If it simply fell like that, it would cut the entire cauldron in half.

  “Be good. I’ll let you be the Meat-cutting Heavenly King.”


  “Who would want to be the Meat-cutting Heavenly King!?” the Blade Spirit of Frenzy Flower said furiously, but the blade still shrank, turning into a knife.

  “Open the pot!”


  With Li Qingshan’s order, Li Fengyuan opened the cauldron, and steam surged out with fragrance. A stream of light rushed into the air.

  “Don’t tell me… this is the legendary cuisine!” Li Qingshan could not help but tighten his grip around the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End.

  Actually, there were many precious pills that would erupt with light when they were removed from the cauldron. After all, he had thrown in so many spiritual herbs, all filled with spiritual qi.

  The ingredients that went into this cauldron of soup was as extravagant as possible, so there was nothing strange at all for this to happen.

  With absolute certainty, Li Qingshan cut off a piece of dog meat. With a thought, the soup wrapped around the meat and hovered over to him. He opened his mouth and swallowed it in a single gulp.

  As if a ray of light had pierced his temples, the wonderful flavour bloomed on his tongue. A wave of warmth surged into his belly. The dog meat was tender yet very chewy. Even for him, he had to chew it viciously a few times before swallowing it.

  Then he pulled out an ancient jar of spiritual alcohol from somewhere and took a deep sip. The icy-cold surroundings seemed to become the sweltering summer with that.

  “Satisfying!” Li Qingshan gave Li Fengyuan a thumbs-up. “Truly my Meat-stewing Heavenly King.”


  Li Fengyuan mustered the courage and said, “You can also call me the Heavenly King of Divine Cuisine.”


  “What kind of shitty name is that?” Li Qingshan rebuked him.

  Li Qingshan began to split the meat and alcohol, where all of them got a share. The atmosphere immediately heated up.

  Li Fengyuan no longer cared about whether he was the Meat-stewing Heavenly King or the Heavenly King of Divine Cuisine either. He ate away without any care for his image.

  Xiao An was primarily responsible for gnawing the bones. Actually, it only took a glance from her. With that, the bones in her hand turned into the Samādhi Flames of White Bone, which she then sucked into her mouth.

  Li Qingshan rubbed her head with great tenderness and affection. As a practitioner of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, she actually lost many of the joys in life. Then he passed the religious preceptor of the left’s ?arīra to her. “Here, as a side dish!”


  Gu Yanying smiled. “When normal people attend a wedding, they go with an empty stomach so that they can have a feast. We’ve instead begun eating before it.”


  “Hehe, dog meat can never make it onto the table. The host probably won’t welcome a disrespectful guest like me, so I better go once I’ve been fed!”


  “Must you go?”


  Li Qingshan picked up a cup with a smile and clinked it against hers. “I must go!”


  “The men want to fight. They don’t need women yammering on!”


  Rāhu Xiaoming raged with battle intent. From dying and rebirthing till now, he finally had a proper meal, but he had yet to experience a proper battle. He had run out of patience a long time ago.

  Asura could go without food, but they could not go without battles. They could go without friends, but they could not go without enemies.

  “Forget I said anything.”


  Gu Yanying shrugged gracefully. Only the two of them would treat her like a woman, or perhaps the way they used her as contrast did bear some resemblance to a woman.

  Actually, she had expected this a long time ago. However, in a group, there always had to be a person speaking up in objection.

  Si Long distributed a million notices of denunciation. Every single notice of denunciation was equivalent to a spiritual artifact. Even the illiterate and non-human species could understand it, and their minds would be deluded. Coupled with the influence from the intangible will of the heavens, the hearts of the people were already swaying towards Si Long’s side.

  If this continued, the more time he took, the more disadvantageous the situation would be.

  Right now, the notices of denunciation still could not influence the wills of cultivators, but after today, when Si Long completed his alliance of the world, he would be unshakeable.

  They only had a chance at victory if they dealt a lethal blow with all of their strength when Si Long left Dragonshead mountain today. However, how could Si Long not think of something that simple?

  As a result, the opportunity this time was basically bait. It was as clear as day.

  However, they knew it was bait, yet they had to eat it. This was what an open plan was.

  It could only be said that he was truly the founding emperor.

  Li Fengyuan had a wonderful time as he ate. He said in praise, “It’s far too delicious! First father, surely this isn’t our last meal, right?”


  Li Qingshan was taken aback. He studied him and said, “You jinx, you mocking… you sure are my son! If I were emperor, I’d definitely make a little bastard like you the crown prince. Come, let’s have a toast!”


  Li Fengyuan reddened and rubbed his head. “You flatter me, first father. Compared to you, I’m nowhere close!”


  Li Qingshan laughed aloud. “As long as you know. That Si Long is capable of all sorts of things, yet he’s still been forced into resorting to this, forced to risk his life in a gamble against me. Yanying, the enemy is difficult to deal with, but they’re not that terrifying. Look down on the enemy’s strategy but place emphasis on the enemy’s tactics. You have the time of your life when you fight the heavens, fight the earth, and fight the people. You need to learn to enjoy the process.”


  The million copies of notices of denunciation took a tremendous amount of resources to make, and they had to be distributed across the world too. Even with the Great Xia empire’s wealth, power, and influence, it would not have been an easy feat.

  Whether it was bait or a trap, it all took risks.

  Originally, there was absolutely no need for Si Long to take any risks. He could stay in the imperial court and use the might and influence of the empire to crush the enemy. Now, he was forced to worry about whether he could still refine the nine provinces into a blessed land of cultivation once he mustered everyone’s might. And if he wanted to crush anyone then, they would never simply offer up their lives willingly without at least trying to do something else.

  In the end, he would only obtain a world at the brink of destruction, as well as an unpredictable, powerful enemy.

  That was why he wanted to stop the destruction of the world and eliminate Li Qingshan completely. As a result, he had to reveal an opening and give Li Qingshan the opportunity to launch a lethal blow.

  “Well said!” Rāhu Xiaoming’s eyes lit up. “If this person entered the Asura realm, he’d definitely become a powerful asura!”


  “Are these the joys of battle? I think it’s enough if you just enjoy it yourselves.”


  Gu Yanying smiled. Of course, she understood that the battle between the two men had begun already.

  Scheming, arranging.

  Clashing, probing.

  They mobilised all their resources and used everything at their disposal, pressuring the enemy step by step, yet also throwing themselves into dire situations step by step. Neither side hesitated. That was the determination that came with swearing to kill each other the moment they learnt about each other’s existence. The compromises and concessions they made in the process were all a false illusion.

  On this very day, when they confronted each other, they would definitely make sure only one of them would be coming out of this alive!

  Li Fengyuan felt his blood boil as he listened on, completely casting the matter of death aside. Suddenly, he heard Xiao An say, “Qingshan, I can actually slaughter all of the living…”


  Li Fengyuan’s hot-bloodedness immediately froze over.
