Chapter 598 - 276: Various Ways to Kill the Archbishop
"You dog."
Cursing, Li Hengsheng stood up and tried to run.
But after taking just two steps, Li Hengsheng noticed something was off with the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect.
Gathering his courage, Li Hengsheng carefully looked back and saw him lying on the ground, unable to move, with severe injuries.
It was clear he had already lost consciousness.
Looking at the Archbishop in front of him, Li Hengsheng knew he should leave quickly, the farther the better, otherwise, once he woke up, it would be very dangerous for him.
But Li Hengsheng also knew this was the best opportunity to kill the Archbishop.
If he could kill the Archbishop here, the power of the Longevity Sect would weaken.
A Great Martial Sect master was already a top-level power for the Longevity Sect.
So, without further hesitation, the Overlord Immortal Spear appeared in Li Hengsheng’s hand, and he thrust it toward the throat of the Archbishop of the Longevity Sect!
Strike when your enemy is down!
But to Li Hengsheng’s surprise, his spear failed to pierce through the Archbishop’s neck!
Li Hengsheng couldn’t quite believe it.
Despite putting all his might into the thrust, he couldn’t pierce the Archbishop’s throat.
Li Hengsheng roared in anger, deploying the Overlord Immortal Spear Skill. One thrust after another, bursts of power even made the sun and moon totem on his body flash, but to Li Hengsheng’s disbelief, even his strongest thrust at the limit only managed to break the Archbishop’s skin, without causing any substantial harm.
Li Hengsheng crouched on the ground, gasping for air.
Upon reaching the level of a Great Martial Sect master, combined with the Archbishop’s path of body refining, his physical body had become extremely formidable. Even with his strength, he couldn’t break through his bodily defense.
Li Hengsheng even considered using Sun and Moon True Flame to burn him to ashes, but he didn’t have a trace of Sun and Moon True Flame left in his body at that moment.
Having previously used it all up, it hadn’t been regenerated yet.
Seeing the enemy unconscious right in front of him but unable to kill him, Li Hengsheng was frustrated, particularly angry at his own weak power.
If he had already reached the Innate Realm, using Innate True Essence with the Overlord Immortal Spear Skill, he could have surely killed the Archbishop.
Should he just give up?
But such a rare opportunity, it would be a shame to miss it.
Li Hengsheng approached, studied him for a while, and decided to take a risk. This guy looked seriously injured and probably wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. He’d take this old guy with him and see if he could find a way to get rid of him on the way!
So Li Hengsheng found a rope, tied up the Archbishop, and carried him on his back.
Li Hengsheng then picked a direction, deciding to first find a place to stay and figure out where he currently was.
Li Hengsheng carried the Archbishop for an entire day and night.
Along the way, whenever he encountered a ferocious Spirit Beast, he would throw the Archbishop’s body to them to eat.
But the Archbishop’s body refining had reached the Transformation Realm, extremely strong, and the Spirit Beasts, unable to chew through him, spat him out and moved on.
Li Hengsheng had no choice but to continue on.
On the road, whenever he saw something strange, which seemed possibly poisonous, he picked them and stuffed them into the Archbishop’s mouth.
Hoping it could poison him to death.
After having fed the Archbishop fifty or sixty bizarre things along the way, the Archbishop’s breathing remained steady.
He showed no signs of being poisoned.
This made Li Hengsheng a little anxious.
If this kept up, wouldn’t the old man kill him once he awoke?
At this moment, Li Hengsheng suddenly saw a city appearing ahead.
A city?
However, even if there was a city, Li Hengsheng didn’t dare to venture in recklessly.
This place wasn’t like Ghost City. They weren’t as tolerant towards the Human Race, and being found out might lead to trouble.
But he urgently needed to know where he was now.
Carrying the Archbishop, Li Hengsheng decided to enter the city anyway, since normally it’s hard to tell Human Race from Ghost Race unless encountering a significantly powerful Ghost Race member who might recognize him in one glance, or unless revealing his Inner Strength and True Essence through combat, attracting detection by other Ghost Race members.
Li Hengsheng decided he wouldn’t engage in combat after entering the city.
Plus, the Archbishop wasn’t human; having him as a shield could help conceal his identity.
"Fengdu City."
Seeing the city name, Li Hengsheng vaguely remembered it but still wanted to enter the city and find a map to look at.
Li Hengsheng carried the Archbishop bound with ropes and entered the city. His appearance drew some attention, but no one was overly concerned since such sights were common in the Cloud Wasteland. People even walked around with corpses.
What’s the big deal about carrying a person?
Walking through the streets and seeing no other humans around, Li Hengsheng opted to stay low-key.
After walking for a long time, Li Hengsheng saw a general store by the roadside and went in to buy a map.
Though not very precise, fortunately, Li Hengsheng found the location of Ghost City on it.
He had to return to Ghost City because he had made plans to meet Xue Qianbai there.
