Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2460 Murder!

When Teng Xi raised his hand to calculate, his attention was highly focused, and he was ready to make a run for it at any moment.

After all, he just wanted to make some extra money, not to risk his life.

But after doing some calculations, he was a little surprised: Tianli was actually located on the Rouzhao No. 5 plate!

This is interesting. Theoretically speaking, if Tianli intended to take action against him, it shouldn't have been done this way.

Tengxi is not suited to openly make moves in the livable area, and Tianli faces the same problem.

It's not too much of a problem to do it secretly, as long as you don't get caught in the act. But if the two of them clash, they'll definitely start fighting.

But the next moment, his heart sank slightly: Oh no, we may have fallen into a trap!
If the other party had arranged for other True Venerables to block his retreat, such an arrangement would be perfectly reasonable.

But then, a sense of unease arose in Teng Xi's heart: Could this be a charade to scare me away?
The two have been locked in a battle of wits for far more than three or five decades; what kind of tactics haven't they used?

The matter his men were trying to handle had nothing to do with Tianli, yet the other party took the initiative and forcibly captured his men.

This would be tantamount to a slap in the face. If he were to retreat now in fear, even if True Venerable Tianli managed to salvage some face for the time being.

It's definitely only temporary. Teng Xi seeks revenge from morning till night, and he'll get his revenge sooner or later.

However, he didn't want to lose face even for this moment—because that would invite the other party's high-profile ridicule.

So he was caught in a dilemma: what exactly was the other party's intention?

During this process, Teng Xi casually did some divination on the original spirit plant family... that family still possessed the original spirit plant!

However, this is the real reason why Tianli Zhenzun only bought half of Lingzhiyuan's shares.

If he buys it outright, the Pixiu will naturally be able to calculate that the spiritual plant has already changed hands.

The level of force Tianli exerts to protect its own assets is definitely different from that used to protect others' assets, and it is very likely to arouse the other party's vigilance.

Moreover, if he really buys the Spirit Plant Plain, and given that he provoked first, Teng Xi will definitely not let this matter go.

But that would definitely be a long-term plan, and Tianli's chances of successfully setting up an ambush on the spot are too low.

Sure enough, True Venerable Tengxi was really puzzled: What kind of trick is this guy playing with all of this?

He couldn't figure out where other True Venerables would come from, or what kind of strength they possessed, if they were involved in the interception.
However, since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it and leave immediately for the sake of safety.

Everyone says that Pixiu has gone almost mad, frantically crossing all sorts of lines, but few people notice why it can keep crossing the lines.

He kept courting death but didn't die. This wasn't just because the other True Venerables were unwilling to take him seriously, but because he remained extremely calm even while recklessly courting death.

Even though Tianli might be bluffing, and that his departure would be ridiculed, Tengxi still decided to leave first.

Because he didn't quite understand the situation, he figured it wasn't a big deal to back down first.

It's certainly satisfying to seize by force, but only the living can do that; the dead can't.

This is the main mental journey of Tengxi Zhenzun. Although it seems like a long time, it is actually very short.

Even so, he secretly reflected that his reaction this time was a little slow and he would change it in the future!

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to change things. Tianli had planned so carefully for so long just to slow him down a little.

Just as the Pixiu was about to leave, a phantom appeared a million kilometers away, quickly transforming from phantom to reality.

The figure was none other than Tianli. Sensing the Pixiu's divination, he revealed himself. "You actually dare to come?"

The figure was shifting from blurry to solid, its specific expression unclear, but its mocking tone was unmistakable, requiring no expression whatsoever.

“Yes, I’m here,” Teng Xi said, showing no sign of losing face in front of him.

Even though he was already planning to leave, he couldn't help but snort, "You dare to leave the section, you really have guts!"

Without going into too much detail, his combat strength is definitely superior to Tianli's, not to mention the added bonus of his desperate aura.

“You’re really bold,” Tianli shook his head. “Tengxi, now it’s your turn to leave.”

"You think I'm easily scared?" A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the dark blue figure. "Looks like I'll have to teach you another lesson today."

"Don't you look behind you?" Tianli pointed behind him. "You can't escape now."

"Such petty tricks," the dark blue figure scoffed disdainfully, then paused, "Han Li?"

He genuinely didn't sense any energy fluctuations behind him, never expecting that someone would actually appear.

"It has nothing to do with me," Han Li said calmly, but at the same time, a thought flashed through his mind, and the chill instantly spread for millions of kilometers.

“This attitude is a bit unfriendly,” Pixiu said slowly. “I don’t think I have offended you.”

“It’s not just a guess, it’s definitely true,” Han Li pointed to his side, “I’m here hunting with a friend.”

“This is…” Pixiu looked at Qu Jianlei carefully for a few moments, then his expression changed instantly, “It’s one of the few from Efeng No. 3… Qu Zhenzun?”

Qu Jianlei ignored him; in this situation of showing off, let Tianli Zhenzun have his fun.

"Teng Xi, you forced me to do this," Tian Li said coldly, without a trace of a smile.

“I spent all my money to finally get Qu Zhenzun to come... Of course, you can try to escape.”

"What the hell am I supposed to escape?" Teng Xi Zhen Zun sighed inwardly.

In fact, he was quite confident in his escape methods.

If it were merely Han Li's domain, even if the opponent used it suddenly, as long as he wanted to escape, there was still hope.

But in the end, he shook his head dejectedly, "All I see is the passage of time... Tianli, you're really ruthless!"

However, he then chuckled softly, "But you should be able to tell that this is just an avatar of mine."

"Tianli, I have no grudge against these two. All my hatred will be directed at you. Try destroying my clone and see what happens."

Tianli Zhenzun ignored his words and bluntly stated, "The cost of hiring people is quite high, and I need to compensate them!"

He had previously stated that he didn't necessarily want the other party to die, but compensation was a must.

As if in response to his words, Qu Jianlei's body slowly swelled up—Will you give it to me or not?
“Sure,” the figure in dark blue answered without hesitation, “as long as we can put our differences behind us, name your terms!”

In fact, even True Venerable Tengxi is wondering how Tianli could possibly persuade True Venerable Qu.

The two had been enemies for hundreds of years, and he knew exactly what kind of social connections and wealth the other had.

He simply couldn't imagine how the two were connected.

In fact, let alone Qu Jianlei, even Han Li, how many True Venerables wanted to get closer to him, but he simply ignored them!
Fortunately, Tianli only appeared outside the Zhanmeng No. 1 plate a while ago, after the battle ended and Xuan Yi and You Jian left.

Song Zhenzun was also present at the time, but it was clear that she wouldn't publicize what happened afterward.

Tengxi Zhenzun's information capabilities were not bad, and he had a fairly good understanding of that battle.

But he really didn't know that Tianli would show up later, otherwise he would never have been so reckless today—at least he wouldn't have hesitated for those few seconds.

"I don't need to tell you the terms," ​​he decided to accept the loss, "you can just state them directly."

This isn't because he's cowardly, but rather because any aging True Venerable would feel the same way when faced with the power of time.

"Isn't this a bit too insincere?" A strange divine sense appeared. "Fine, I'll send you on your way!"

The next moment, the now-grown figure slowly opened its left eye.

That indescribable feeling reappeared: profound, distant, ruthless, swirling, folded, chaotic...

"No, I mean..." Tianli was immediately shocked.

I've already discussed everything quite thoroughly, but Qu Zhenzun, you're really, really, really being a bit reckless!
He really couldn't describe how he felt at that moment; the other party had clearly backed down and was willing to compensate him.

Then his words came to an abrupt halt, because he discovered that Han Li had also suddenly increased his output, and his cold energy domain was greatly enhanced.

This is... this is... two words flashed through Tianli's mind: murder!

This is murder! Pixiu had already agreed to compensation—did the aged True Venerable dare to go back on his word when faced with the power of time?

However, the two who made the move completely ignored him and continued to attack without any expression.

The dark blue figure was struggling and emitting a series of rapid divine senses.

Tianli Zhenzun already knew that this was not a divine sense attack, but rather what the other party wanted to say, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear it.

After a few breaths, Tengxi Zhenzun probably realized this as well, and his divine sense was transmitted intermittently again.

"Despicable! They actually used a formation to trap people!"

So, they were also wary of the Pixiu escaping in other ways? Tianli Zhenzun was increasingly speechless.

The formation that can trap True Venerable Tengxi must be quite powerful... The operational cost of this kind of formation has already exceeded that of a single Nascent Soul sword intent, right?
He held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Gentlemen, this is just an avatar."

The handsome young man ignored him and instead looked at Qu Jianlei, "How many years has it been?"

Qu Jianlei is over ten kilometers tall, with an eerie left eye and a lifeless right eye, and his face is expressionless.

He paused for a few moments before answering the question, "One hundred... to three hundred years."

His face remained expressionless as he answered the questions.

Han Li frowned upon hearing this. "They haven't fallen yet after so long... Could you give me a more precise estimate? I need to do some divination."

“There is too little relevant data,” Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, “and my control over it is not very stable.”

"But there's no rush, we can figure it out slowly later."

"Later... we'll figure it out slowly?" Upon hearing this, Tianli Zhenzun couldn't help but shudder!
Killing one True Venerable will only give you a small amount of data. How many True Venerables would you have to kill to figure this out?
Looking at the other person's expressionless face, he felt for a moment that the cold aura seemed to have frozen his brain as well.
