Chapter 196: Liu Changgong’s Empty City Stratagem
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
He began to take out the tea set and placed them one by one, boiling the mountain spring on the small red stove.
Then, he took out a sword from the house, a long black sword. This was the reward given by the system.
He placed the sword on the side of the tea set.
With the power of the sword and the tea set, this was the second step of his plan.
In the end, he took out the zither that chess had played before and sat on the bluestone under the old peach tree, carefully examining the zither in his hand.
The zither was called Jade Spring Sound Stream.
The sound of the zither was like a mountain spring rushing down from a mountain stream that was hundreds of thousands of feet high. The sound was deafening, and it was most suitable for playing a song of slaughter!
Liu Changgong took a deep breath. When his slender fingers gently rested on the zither strings, Liu Changgong’s entire temperament instantly changed.
He seemed to have become one with the small courtyard, but also seemed to be above this world and beyond nature.
Liu Changgong wore a white robe and lowered his head to silently stroke the zither.
If there were mortals present, they might really think that he was a banished Immortal.
This was the final step of Liu Changgong’s method of breaking the situation.
The true core of the empty city stratagem!
Countless thoughts churned violently in Liu Changgong’s heart.
‘Using the body of a mortal to fight against a cultivation demon in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending stage is nothing but a pipe dream!’
‘If I can’t rely on a peerless mighty figure like Sacred Lord Brahma in the cultivation world, I can only rely on myself.’
‘I, Liu Changgong, have been sent to this cultivation world by the system for more than twenty years. Although I don’t have spiritual roots, I have all kinds of skills. I know all the skills that mortals have, except that I can’t absorb spiritual energy like a cultivator…’
‘However, how many people in the world can walk side by side with me in such skills as zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting?’
‘My temperament, my elegance, is unparalleled in the world! Even the high and mighty cultivators have to call me Senior when they see me. And I’m just a mortal. Even Yu Hongye, who shares my bed with me day and night, can’t see through this point. Then… I might as well pretend to be a truly peerless expert for once!’
Liu Changgong’s body suddenly rose with an aura that looked down on the world. The aura that only belonged to him and the secular world completely spread out, enveloping the entire small courtyard.
At this moment, all the light in the sky and the earth gathered on him alone.
He was truly unparalleled in the world.
The old peach tree swayed slightly.
The little red bird’s pupils on the parasol tree branch were no longer cold and indifferent, blooming with a strange luster.
Beneath his feet, the little fox’s eyes shone with a strong light of worship and admiration. It was as if everything seemed to be perfect to the extreme.
Liu Changgong’s core strategy was to pretend to be a peerless expert!
Ever since he learned of the appearance of the demon, he had been strolling in the marketplace every day. Finally, he had waited for those two people.
Then, he immediately informed his familiar friends and cultivators to come over.
He knew that those people had been convinced by his zither drawing skills. After meeting them, they would sincerely call him Senior.
There was absolutely no affectation!
Under such circumstances, even a demon who could kill people as if they were numb would have to grumble in his heart.
His inscrutable image would be established in the other party’s heart, and Liu Changgong’s goal would be achieved.
This step was to create momentum!
To Liu Changgong’s surprise, the two demons seemed to be more shocked and doubtful than he had imagined.
Then, there would be a good show to sing.
Wasn’t it just acting?
Liu Changgong was the best at this. In his previous life, he was a hot star, but due to an accident, he transmigrated to this godforsaken cultivation world and forced himself to be a mortal for a few years.
If not for the system constantly giving him strange rewards, he really didn’t know how to feel at ease as a mortal.
But now, he could be like in his previous life, an actor with superb acting skills!
Liu Changgong’s gaze seemed to fall on the zither in his hand, but in fact, he had been looking at the wooden door of his small courtyard from the corner of his eye.
When the two demons pushed the door open and entered, it was his next step.
It could be said that they were besieged from all sides and were ambushed from all sides.
…
Sacred Lord Brahma and the others all stood far away from the entrance of the small courtyard, but they didn’t dare to go forward.
Although they didn’t know Senior Liu’s intentions, they could faintly sense that Senior Liu’s plan had already begun. No one could disturb him now.
The silver-haired old man and the white-haired young man walked to the front of the small store and sneered as they swept a glance over everyone in the area. Their gazes were filled with contempt as if they had entered an uninhabited land, as if they had returned to their own homes.
They didn’t look at Sacred Lord Brahma and the others when they saw their indifferent expressions. They looked away and sized up the store.
The old man looked up and saw the sign hanging on the door.
The old man’s eyes froze when he saw the words ‘Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop’. His body trembled slightly.
Although Tian Zong didn’t cultivate Dao techniques or comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth, he could still sense a sharp Sword Intent from the words.
That Sword Intent was filled with sharpness, as if it would pierce his face at any moment. It made his glabella feel a faint stabbing pain.
“Master!” the white-haired young man shouted.
The old man came back to his senses. The hypocrisy and benevolence on his face disappeared. Instead, it revealed the cruelty and ruthlessness of a peerless expert.
“Go!”
The silver-haired old man shouted in a low voice. He directly pushed open the door and walked straight into the small wooden door in front of him.
And just as he was about to enter the small courtyard…
With a ‘keng’ sound, a zither sound that sounded like metal clashing rang out, like the sound of swords being unsheathed, as well as the sound of thunder and the majestic sound of water.
The silver-haired old man’s eyes instantly widened, and he was completely stunned on the spot.
Outside the door, Sacred Lord Brahma’s face revealed an incomparably excited expression.
He muttered, “This is really the Jade Stream Sound Spring that focuses on killing. There can’t be a mistake!”
The clanging sound of the zither kept coming out from the door.
In an instant, everyone in the scene seemed to be in the middle of an ancient killing field.
Golden spears and iron horses, iron cavalry and silver spears!
After being stunned for a moment, everyone realized that they had changed their appearance.
They were wearing golden armor, holding golden spears and blades, and under them were roaring war horses. Boundless Blood Qi and killing intent covered the sky, and even the sun and moon lost their luster.
“Kill!”
The soaring cries of battle rang out in their ears. The blood in their bodies began to boil, as hot as fire.
Suddenly, countless enemies covered in Demon Qi appeared in front of them. They were all dozens of meters tall, had three heads and six arms, and had ugly faces.
Their bodies automatically gave birth to endless surging battle intent. They couldn’t help but charge forward and fight with all their might.
The two armies seemed to have returned to the ancient battlefield of the Immortal World, transforming into both the Immortal and demon sides.
At every moment, countless Immortals and demons died.
Black and red blood dyed the sky!
