It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 654 Liu Zheng: The London plane tree is my beloved family and friends

The blood-stained pitchfork vanished, while the power of the three dung burst forth.

Blue, green, and yellow excrement fumes instantly filled the entire lottery shop, and the faint shadows of a giant dragon, a large tree, and a scarab beetle could be seen in the mist.

Their gloomy gaze swept over Liu Zheng and the panda, finally settling on the shop owner.

Then they let out a mournful roar, and charged at the shopkeeper, carrying with them all the stench of excrement.

To avoid becoming a target of the Three Feces Force, Liu Zheng had already had the doctor remove his and the panda's intestines and sew up their anuses before they arrived.

In this lottery shop, only the owner has the ability to defecate.

"What the hell?"

The stench was so offensive that the shop owner frowned.

He drew a square with his left hand and a circle with his right, and a tornado emerged from between his hands, engulfing the excrement within it.

"Yin-Yang Qi Formation, dissolve!"

The panda had a sudden thought, and immediately retracted the two small flags to wrap around its paws.

"Mixed Core Thunder Palm!"

It leaped down, slamming its two paws down on the shop owner's head.

"You call this a 'pat'?"

Despite being sandwiched between two people, the shop owner remained calm and simply opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

The thick tongue was covered with a thick, white coating, but the tip was a deep red, as if it had been coated with cinnabar.

"Tongue thunders like spring thunder, Zha!"

The shopkeeper flicked his tongue, and the force of his tongue transformed into a red lightning bolt that struck the bear's paw.

"what!"

The Yin-Yang Flags were cleaved in two charred streaks, trembling as they automatically returned to the panda's body, leaving two deep, bone-revealing wounds on its paws.

Without the protection of the Yin-Yang Flags, the two bear paws would probably have turned into four and a half.

"As expected of someone from the city, they really have some skills."

The panda grinned.

No wonder Master instructed it not to enter the city until it had conquered all the mountains and become invincible; the city was indeed very dangerous.

"However, I'm not one to be trifled with!"

The panda's eyes sharpened.

It paid the price of not being able to excrete anything in order to kill this guy, so how could it just back down like that?
"Primordial Chaos, Three Realms Divided Body!"

The panda spat out its inner core, and the black and white colors separated, transforming into two pandas, one pure black and one pure white.

This is one of the few high-grade spells passed down by the Hun Dan Sect, and only disciples who have formed a high-grade inner core can use it.

If the clone formed from the elixir energy is destroyed, the caster's cultivation will either be ruined or regress by several realms, and the inner core formed afterward will be one or even several levels lower.

Therefore, this move can be considered a forbidden technique of the Hun Dan School, and can only be used when all other options are exhausted.

"The Three Powers Unite as One, Thunderous Divine Palm!"

Knowing that the shop owner was exceptionally powerful and that ordinary moves were useless against him, the panda unleashed its ultimate attack.

The three pandas, Black, White, and Black-and-White, simultaneously unleashed their palms, the six palm shadows converging into a Hunyuan Tai Chi circle that enveloped the shop owner.

"Fancy."

"Certainly!"

The shopkeeper sneered, about to flick his tongue again, when he heard the panda roar angrily.

The Hunyuan Tai Chi Circle emitted a dazzling golden light, freezing the shop owner in the moment he stuck out his tongue.

The shopkeeper was frozen in place, but the power of the three excrements did not stop, taking the opportunity to drill into his seven orifices.

"what!"

The shop owner screamed, his gaze suddenly becoming unfocused.

He swallowed all of this indiscriminate attack of resentful excrement by himself. Even if he had a body of steel, a soul of gold, and a spirit of bronze, he couldn't withstand it for a while.

"Light the engine and run!"

Liu Zheng shouted loudly.

"The nameless fire ignites the lamp of the heart; once the lamp of the heart shines, it illuminates the world, and demons and monsters shall flee at once!"

The panda made a hand gesture and pointed at the shopkeeper, whose head and shoulders immediately emitted a faint glow.

A person has three flames on their body. As long as all three flames are lit, evil things cannot get close to them.

The Heart Lamp Spell cast by the panda ignites the three fires of the target, forming a heart lamp that can not only ward off evil but also prolong life.

Moreover, the more vigorous the blood and energy of the person being treated, and the more excited their emotions, the better the effect of the Heart Lamp Mantra.

The shop owner is a powerful martial artist who has attained enlightenment through martial arts, so his abundant blood and energy are naturally beyond question.

As for his emotions, the only time he's felt so agitated is probably when he was forced to retire early.

"Transformation!"

The panda took out two yellow talismans and slapped them on itself and Liu Zheng.

Aside from the Qi-avoidance array, this is probably the spell it uses most skillfully.

"Trying to run? One kick and the world is yours!"

The shop owner's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to break free from the suppression of the Hunyuan Taiji Diagram and stomped his foot.

The unparalleled force shattered everything in the lottery shop, even cracking the walls and revealing the thick steel bars inside.

The lottery shop was also sealed off by the fist's intent, rendering all movement abilities or items ineffective.

"Let's die together! Hahaha!"

The shop owner laughed wildly, his already stout body becoming even more bloated, as if the blood and energy within him were burning and expanding.

"Yin-Yang Qi Array, activate!"

Left with no other choice, the panda summoned the Yin-Yang Flags again.

The two flags, their surfaces charred black, protected Liu Zheng, who in turn protected the panda.

"what?"

The panda stared wide-eyed at Liu Zheng, who was pressing down on it, its eyes filled with confusion.

"You're quite useful; it's a shame you'd die now."

He explained casually.

"That damn little thing, all it does is cause me trouble."

The old woman's vengeful spirit, who had been under the control of the Sun Fist, had recovered and used her large body to protect him.

"what?"

This sudden change was unexpected even for Liu Zheng.

“Tell your damn old man that he’s a real man.”

The old woman's vengeful spirit spoke in his ear.

"what!"

The shop owner could no longer suppress the fecal gas emanating from his body; this gas, which was somewhere between tangible and intangible, was immediately ignited upon encountering an unidentified fire.

The fumes, which the shop owner had been desperately suppressing with his fists, were now exponentially amplified when the fire was ignited.

"BOOM!"

A multicolored shockwave erupted, leveling the entire lottery shop to the ground.

Liu Zheng and the panda were also thrown into the air, transforming into a flying man and a flying bear.

It took more than a minute for the panda to fall from the sky.

Liu Zhengfei flew for even longer because he had been blown up and was now just a head and half of his trapezius muscle.

"Shaoyang Xiguang Banner, go!"

Despite the pain, the panda summoned the Shaoyang Xiguang Banner, which was now only half intact, and caught Liu Zheng's head before it hit the ground.

"Well done."

Liu Zheng shook his head and praised.

The panda rolled its eyes, too exhausted to even speak.

"awesome."

Just then, a woman wearing a light green long gown walked out of the alley and clapped her hands in praise.

"No wonder he's a rising star among delivery drivers; he can make a big splash wherever he goes."

She said, looking at the ruins of the lottery shop in the distance.

"You flatter me. I'm just standing on the dung heap of those who came before me."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

As he spoke, buds of flesh continued to grow from the severed part of his neck, eventually weaving together to form a new body.

"Such recovery ability is truly astonishing. The legendary rebirth from a drop of blood is probably no better than this."

The woman praised again.

"That's far from enough. If I could truly regenerate from a drop of blood, you would have been killed by me with a single punch by now."

Liu Zheng also said modestly, "Mr. Liu, this is our first meeting, why did you speak so hurtfully?"

The woman frowned slightly.

"We first met when I was seriously injured after a big battle. You wouldn't tell me that you just happened to be passing by or that you came specifically to save me, would you?"

He chuckled.

"That's not impossible. However, I need to discuss a business deal with Mr. Liu first."

the woman said.

“Okay, I love doing business with people. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll tell you a place, you go and book a private room for me, I’ll be right there.”

Liu Zheng readily agreed.

"Mr. Liu is quite the smooth talker, but unfortunately I can't let you recover. Once you've recovered, this business deal will probably be much harder to discuss."

The woman flicked her finger, and a black seed shot out, exploding above his head.

The black powder fell on Liu Zheng's body, and the speed at which his physical body regenerated immediately slowed down.

"The Seed of Withering is specifically designed to counter individuals with strong physical regenerative abilities. We went to great lengths to obtain it. Are you satisfied with its effects, Mr. Liu?"

The woman asked with a smile.

"The effect is not bad, but the color is too ugly. Why don't you change it to white for me? Consider it whitening."

He said seriously.

“I have heard that there is an old saying in China: ‘Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you will not change your expression.’ Mr. Liu is indeed a brave man.”

The woman looked at him with admiration.

"I'd rather be a warrior than a hero. Alright, so what business do you want to discuss?"

Liu Zheng said.

Although the rate of physical regeneration has slowed down considerably, it is still about the same as the rate that was enhanced by the Second Gospel, so the impact is not significant for the time being.

"We'd like to talk to you about that tree."

The woman was secretly horrified when she looked at his body.

The effect of the withering seed should completely prevent the opponent's physical recovery, and even cause the already recovered physical body to wither. However, Liu Zheng was still able to continue to recover, which is simply astonishing.

No wonder the company was so careful in its planning and even told her to avoid using force.

Which tree?

"Why should Mr. Liu pretend to be stupid? It's obviously the plane tree on Rose Street."

the woman said.

"Oh, oh, I vaguely remember him, but I'm not very familiar with him. What, you also want to buy coffins from him?"

Liu Zheng asked.

What does Mr. Liu mean by that?

The woman frowned.

She was always friendly, but this guy was always sarcastic. Wasn't he supposed to be nice to females?

"It means exactly what it says. The coffins made of plane trees are very good. Vampires and gravediggers have all asked me to buy them for them, and they all gave me positive reviews."

Liu Zheng said.

"Gravekeeper?"

The woman's expression changed when she heard the name.

Compared to agents of other landmarks, gravediggers are probably the ones that metropolitan residents have the most contact with.

"Does he often ask Mr. Liu to buy coffins for him?"

she asked tentatively.

"No, not really. I just did one order. Recently, he ordered seven more high-quality flames from me, so I've finally collected six. I'm still struggling to find the last one. Hey, do you guys have any? If you do, I'll buy them at a high price."

Liu Zheng started talking about business in reverse.

"If Mr. Liu is willing to agree to our conditions, then it's not impossible to discuss it."

The woman paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said...

Their company does indeed possess a high-quality flame, which the boss has always treasured as a prized possession.

However, if Liu Zheng agrees to their conditions, this flame can be obtained continuously, so giving him some wouldn't hurt.

"Really? Then tell me, what are your conditions?"

Liu Zheng asked with a look of surprise.

"We hope that you will remain on the sidelines in matters related to plane trees in the future."

the woman said.

"That's impossible. The plane tree is my beloved family and friends, my brothers and sisters. I would never stand idly by when it comes to its affairs."

He refused outright.

"You just said you weren't very familiar with it."

"That's because it's not very familiar with me. I'm devoted to it, and I even plan to be buried under it after I die."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"It seems this deal is off."

The woman said regretfully.

"Huh? When did I say the talks couldn't be completed?"

He looked puzzled.

"Didn't you say that the London plane tree is your beloved family, friends, and siblings, that you are devoted to it and would never stand idly by when it comes to your affairs?"

"Yes. What I mean is, it's very difficult to convince me; you'll have to pay more. Do I need to teach you that?"

Liu Zheng spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration.

"Then please name your price, Mr. Liu."

The woman remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Don't rush, let me do the math for you first. Last time, the plane tree offended the sanitation department, and I had a hard time getting it out. I won't even mention the favors I owed them; I spent five million in cash alone. You guys have to pay that, right?"

"can."

She readily agreed.

Five million is certainly not a small amount, but it is nothing compared to the profits after acquiring the French plane trees.

"Alright. To please it, I even got it a fruit from an Epoch Oak and the corpse of a Wood Elf royal. If I turn against it, all these things will be for nothing, and you'll have to compensate for the loss, right?"

Liu Zheng continued.

How much discount do you want on these items?

"At least ten million is required."

He pondered for a while before speaking.

"Ten million is acceptable."

This time, the woman hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

"Okay. I also gave it a ginseng doll that came to life. That ginseng doll can even call me 'Dad.' Tell me, how much is that worth?"

"Mr. Liu, you should tell us yourself."

The woman said expressionlessly.

"If you ask me, just that one word 'Dad' is worth two million."

"can."

Faced with Liu Zheng's outrageous demands, the woman agreed without batting an eye.

"That's sincere. Okay, I'll continue."

“Mr. Liu, just give me a total price. If you keep going like this, I don’t have another withered seed to make you talk properly.”

The woman interrupted him.

"Alright, then I'll give you a fixed price."

Liu Zheng said reluctantly.

"Please tell me."

The woman made a gesture of listening attentively.

"Ten billion. If you give me ten billion on the spot, I will agree to sever ties with the French plane tree."

"Mr. Liu, are you joking?"

The woman frowned.

A billion, but their company's market value isn't even a billion.

"I'm not kidding. In my heart, it's worth this price. If you can't afford it, that's your problem."

He said with a grin.

"It seems Mr. Liu is indeed stalling for time. In that case, I'll have no choice but to take Mr. Liu back and talk to him later."

The woman took a deep breath and waved her hand, shooting out two white ribbons that wrapped around Liu Zheng and the panda.
