136: Chapter 136 is an inspiring story, but I'm too lazy to listen to it.

On the cliff outside Tianyin County.

Flames soared into the sky, and the bursting blinding light illuminated the impending dusk of the firmament.

The thunderous roar shook all directions!

Amidst the massive explosion, the rocks on the cliff were directly razed to the ground, leaving only a bare gravel peak.

Below the cliff, countless trees and forests were completely snapped by the shockwave transmitted from the explosion.

Towering giant trees spanning decades or a century were broken at the waist, and some small leaves and branches were blown flying all over the sky by the explosion impact, with wood chips splashing about.

As for the two individuals hit by this crimson fire lotus.

One of them wore power armor covered in blood crystals, and his figure only flew backwards for a few steps before stopping the momentum.

As for the other, he wore a black robe and had an effeminate face.

In the very first moment, the Effeminate Man was completely swallowed by the explosion produced by the fire lotus. His black robe was instantly scorched through, and his body was blown directly into countless fragments amidst the explosion and flames.

However, just as the Effeminate Man was on the verge of death.

A beam of spiritual light lit up from the buried cave, and then quickly transformed into a human shape, recreating the figure of the Effeminate Man.

However.

At this moment, the Effeminate Man was in tattered clothes, his black robe torn to the point where only a few strips of cloth remained, and his face was covered in dust.

Completely lacking the ethereal Immortal Qi that an Immortal Cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm should possess.

"Pfft!"

The Effeminate Man abruptly spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, his complexion like gold paper, and his aura fluctuating unstably.

In his eyes, a thick look of shock flashed past.

"Despicable villain!"

Looking at Qin Muyuan above the firmament, the Effeminate Man's eyes carried the joy of surviving a disaster and a thick hatred.

If he hadn't sensed that things were going badly and cast [Spirit Talisman Avatar] in advance to relocate his position, while borrowing the [Spirit Talisman Avatar] to protect himself.

Otherwise, he would have very likely been directly killed in seconds by that crimson fire lotus!

This Qin Muyuan threw out such a fatal move directly upon meeting without a word; it was simply incomparably despicable!

"Despicable?" Hearing the Effeminate Man's furious scolding, Qin Muyuan merely smiled disdainfully.

This Effeminate Man had ambushed him and even wanted to snatch his human emperor banner. That he hadn't butchered him earlier was already considering him lucky to have run fast.

Right now, he was merely rolling up a [Heavenly Silkworm Fire Lotus] in advance while on his way.

And this was called despicable by the Effeminate Man?

"State your Sect and Family, and I can leave your corpse intact!"

Qin Muyuan snorted coldly, pointing the roaring, violent chainsword in his hand at the Effeminate Man, and said indifferently.

The so-called saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.

For this Effeminate Man to act so sinisterly meant that the elders and Master who educated him were definitely not any good stuff either.

As a good person, Qin Muyuan naturally stood irreconcilable with bad guys.

But Qin Muyuan himself couldn't die. Since they were irreconcilable, he could only invite the Effeminate Man's Family and Sect to go die.

"Arrogant!"

Hearing Qin Muyuan's so contemptuous tone, the Effeminate Man was thoroughly enraged.

The words Qin Muyuan spoke were all lines he had previously used to threaten other enemies!

His own lines were being used against him?

The Effeminate Man was furious. Spreading his palm, he produced a round-headed soft staff.

Grabbing the soft staff, the Effeminate Man's spiritual power burst forth throughout his body, violently charging towards the sky:

"A mere Martial Cultivator of the Southern Wasteland dares to treat me, an Immortal Cultivator of the Purple Mansion originating from Xingnanzhou—"

"Yackety-yack, skip it!"

But Qin Muyuan still directly shrugged and ignored it, skipping the Effeminate Man's words.

He stomped heavily with his feet, the power of Huajin bursting forth, instantly galloping through the hurricane to kill towards the Effeminate Man.

"What did you say?!" Catching similar keywords in the word "yackety-yack", the Effeminate Man was even more extraordinarily furious.

Burning with anger, his left hand formed the incantation for the [Double Injury Art], while his right hand tightly gripped the round-headed soft staff, charging straight at Qin Muyuan with a posture of exchanging injury for injury in a desperate fight.

The [Double Injury Art] could double and return the damage he suffered back to his opponent.

Moreover, this rebounding power ignored armor and directly invaded the Physical Body!

Coupled with the fact that the Effeminate Man practiced the Azure Wood Spirit Technique and possessed [Primal Azure Spiritual Qi], his injuries healed extremely quickly.

Within the same realm, he had never feared exchanging injuries for injuries!

He was seen waving the round-headed soft staff, carrying fierce spiritual light as he fiercely slashed towards Qin Muyuan.

Facing the slash of the chainsword, he actually did not dodge or evade either, standing tall to receive it head-on.

"Bang!"

The staff wind, carrying penetrating power, heavily struck Qin Muyuan's Space Marine power armor.

At the very same instant, the chainsword also slashed into the Effeminate Man's body.

Pfft—Pfft—

Where the sword light passed, the Effeminate Man's body split into two halves in response, flesh and blood flying like rain.

Yet he only let out a muffled groan, revealing a smile instead:

"Hahaha! Double Injury, returned!"

Before his words finished, the incantation in his left hand already pointed towards Qin Muyuan—

Boom!

The loud noise shook all directions!

The next second.

Just as the Effeminate Man expected, the scene of Qin Muyuan being killed by the double rebound damage did not appear.

On the contrary, the Effeminate Man himself flew backwards like a spinning top, deeply embedding himself into the giant rock below.

Meanwhile, Qin Muyuan stood suspended in mid-air, still completely unharmed.

He looked down at his opponent through his helmet and praised indifferently:

"Nice massage."

"Ever since I wore this set of equipment, Thorns Armor hasn't triggered and taken effect for a long time."

"You are still the first minor monster in so long to trigger this rebound effect of mine."

Below.

Hearing Qin Muyuan's casually evaluated words, the Effeminate Man's pupils instantly dilated, and he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

"This... how is this possible..."

His gaze had already grown absent, and the entire person plunged into self-doubt.

That attack which could cut him in half at the waist and which even he could only hard-carry with his recovery power was doubled and inflicted upon Qin Muyuan's Physical Body.

As a result, to Qin Muyuan...

"It was actually just a massage?!"

Sensing that Qin Muyuan had his attack returned twofold yet his aura didn't fluctuate even a bit, a look of despair gradually crept onto the Effeminate Man's face.

"State your Family and Sect."

Qin Muyuan slowly flew down from above the firmament, stepping closer to the Effeminate Man step by step.

Seeing Qin Muyuan approach step by step, a rich fear of death flashed across the Effeminate Man's face.

The Effeminate Man struggled to retreat backwards, bloody foam continuously flowing down the corners of his mouth, staining the gravel beneath him red.

He could feel that his internal organs within his body were shattered like cotton, and every inch he moved was a tearing, excruciating pain.

Yet in his eyes, a desire to survive even stronger than death surged.

"I cannot die... I cannot just die like this..."

"I lost my mother at six, and that year when I was ten, my father fell off a cliff and died while picking a Spiritual Plant..."

"I was reduced to an orphan, having to compete for food with wild dogs on the street. To survive at thirteen, I sold myself to an Immortal Cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage to be his male slave..."

"I have suffered so much hardship and abandoned so much of my humanity, how can I die here—"

Rip.

The chainsword had already descended with a harsh roar, and the Effeminate Man's voice abruptly stopped.

Where the sword light passed, his head shattered, and blood and flesh mixed together as they splattered out.

Qin Muyuan withdrew his sword with a flick, the bloodstains on the chainsword scattering away, and his calm, waveless voice sounded:

"It's inspiring, but it's not what I want to listen to."

"I couldn't be bothered to listen."
