Chapter 1375: The Real Danger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Shit! Is my luck really that bad?!” Chen Xiaobei’s heart skipped a beat.
First it was Osnur and then now suddenly, it was this Ding Xiadong?
Could it really have been his own bad luck?
No! It must be Ji Xiong’s curse!
Chen Xiaobei decided that once this matter was taken care of, he needed to find a way to track down Ji Xiong.
It was simply too dangerous to have such a person skulking around, orchestrating menace in the dark.
“Why are you so quiet? Are you really that scared of me?” Ding Xiadong smiled. “Don’t worry. I can crush you like a bug. I’ll make it quick, so you won’t be in too much pain!”
“You want to kill me? I’m afraid that it’s not going to be that easy!”
Chen Xiaobei took out his Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd.
At this point, he could only try the same method twice.
“Huh? What is that?”
Ding Xiadong did not attack immediately – he clearly was apprehensive about Chen Xiaobei’s intentions.
After all, Chen Xiaobei was the person with a Divine Instrument. The gourd must be some pretty powerful weapon too since Chen Xiaobei decided to use it at this critical juncture. Ding Xiadong was an experienced, old Jianghu elite. He was sensible and prudent, and knew how to take the proper precautions.
“Ding Xiadong! I’m calling out to you. Are you brave enough to say yes?”
Chen Xiaobei pointed the mouth of the gourd to Ding Xiadong.
“What?!” Ding Xiadong stood stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter. “Do you think I’ve never watched ‘Journey to the West’ before? Silver Horned King’s Golden Purple Gourd! Oh, if you want to trick me, at least use a more convincing prop! Idiot! Hahaha!”
Chen Xiaobei was delighted by Ding Xiaodong’s reaction.
Ding Xiadong’s blatant disbelief of the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd meant that he already had one foot in the crater that Chen Xiaobei had dug.
“If you think I’m bluffing, why don’t you say yes then?” Chen Xiaobei needed to ruffle his feathers. “Ding Xiadong! Don’t you dare to say yes?”
“Why would I not say yes? I, Ding Xiadong, am here!”
“Oh, why didn’t it work?” Chen Xiaobei pretended to fiddle with the gourd, deliberately looking confused and overwhelmed.
“Hahaha!” Ding Xiadong chortled. “Chen Xiaobei! Are you a clown hired by monkeys for entertainment? Do you think I would fall for your idiotic ruse? Stop daydreaming, my boy!”
Chen Xiaobei, still appearing distraught, asked, “Ding Xiadong! I’m calling out to you. Are you brave enough to say yes?”
“Of course! I am here!” Ding Xiadong played along, mocking Chen Xiaobei for being a fool.
“I’m calling out to you. Are you brave enough to say yes?” Chen Xiaobei continued to ask, taunting Ding Xiadong.
“Yes!”
“Ding Xiadong! Are you brave enough to say yes?”
“Of course! Just keep asking me. If I say no, you can write my surname ‘Ding’ upside down!” Ding Xiadong shouted back, his guard now lowered.
Chen Xiaobei saw his chance, and quickly changed up the question. “Ding Xiadong! I want to keep you inside the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd, are you brave enough to say yes?”
“Of course!” Ding Xiadong said loudly. He did not believe that the gourd in Chen Xiaobei’s hand had the ability to store people.
But!
Just before he could finish his sentence, a sudden loud, thunderous voice broke him off!
“Don’t answer him! It’s all part of the deceptive Chen Xiaobei’s trick!”
Both men turned towards the direction of the voice and found a tall, imposing figure approaching them.
The person was eight feet tall with a heroic aura surrounding him. It would seem that he would be bad news to Chen Xiaobei.
Mighty like a tiger, and ferocious like a wolf.
“Who are you? How could a demigod be at such a young age?”
Ding Xiadong frowned. It was the person’s speed that gave him away.
“You don’t have to know who I am! All you need to know is that I’m here to kill Chen Xiaobei!” The person’s tone was cold and dominant.
Lu Bu’s overbearing presence had left Ding Xiadong bereft of speech.
Chen Xiaobei recognized this man. “You are Lu Bu!”
“How did you know? The group didn’t even disclose anything about me!”
“Does it even matter now?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.
Actually, Chen Xiaobei was able to identify him because Acheron had already told him in advance that Lu Bu and Ji Xiong were going to pay the earthly realm a visit.
Chen Xiaobei was quick-witted, and was able to put two and two together.
“Right! There’s no point talking about that! You won’t be able to escape this time, anyway! It doesn’t matter how you were able to recognize me!” Lu Bu said.
“You and I have no beef between us. Why did you agree to be someone’s borrowed knife?”
Lu Bu shook his head, “In life, unless you are at the top, you don’t make the decisions!”
“Mm, it seems that you have you have your own troubles!” Chen Xiaobei said, eyes narrowed.
“Enough chit-chat! Now, be a good boy and let me destroy your cultivation!” Lu Bu said.
“Why destroy my cultivation? Why not just kill me?”
“Because your Sifu is not someone I can offend! The initial plan was to get someone else to do the dirty work. Unfortunately, all the proxies they got were all too stupid. So, it looks like I have to come and do it myself. After I destroy your cultivation, someone else will come and kill you!”
The corners of Ding Xiadong eyes twitched. He had a feeling that he was the stupid proxy that Lu Bu mentioned.
“Lu Bu! If you have any problems, just tell me! I promise that I will help you solve them! If I can’t do it, we have my Sifu!” Chen Xiaobei was earnest. “After all those years of cultivating, you are very close to making your dreams come true! If you make the wrong more now, you will lose everything!”
“It’s too late! This time, only I can help myself!” Lu Bu’s body was now emitting an undulating wave of Metal Attribute Ethereal Force.
Ziiing!
His swung his right arm, and the Metal Attribute Ethereal Force condensed into a mighty Heavenly Halberd.
The halberd glowed bright and hummed an ominous tone.
Lu Bu stood under the golden light, like a grand deity who had descended from heaven.
Chen Xiaobei’s heart was in his throat.
The only secret weapon he had against demigods was the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd, but Lu Bu had revealed his deception. This had stripped Chen Xiaobei of all his means to counterattack.
“Chen Xiaobei! I respect you as a great figure! I won’t let you suffer too much!”
Lu Bu wielded the Heavenly Halberd and pointed it towards Chen Xiaobei’s Dantian.
“Cripple!”
