Chapter 156 – Why is your divine body so weak, my husband?


Li Hengsheng swept through the battlefield. Although the Ghost Clan was numerous, their strength was mediocre at best. Most of them were in the Transcendence Realm, with some in the Postnatal Realm and its advanced stage, but none had reached the peak of the Postnatal Realm.

Despite not knowing why they were so crazed to attack him, Li Hengsheng fought back with all his might. However, some of the Ghost Clan were indeed dangerous.

Among the Ghost Clan, there were not only Blood Ghosts, but Li Hengsheng also encountered the rare Flame Ghosts. After being killed, they would transform into a sea of fire, nearly engulfing Li Hengsheng.

There were also Ice Ghosts, whose natural ability was ice. Every move they made was accompanied by an intense chill. After a while, Li Hengsheng felt his hands were about to freeze.

The weather was already cold enough, and now he had to deal with these creatures.

As for the Mountain Ghosts, they were like natural enemies to humans like Li Hengsheng. Their physical bodies were indeed strong, but unfortunately, Li Hengsheng’s spear was stronger.

The most dangerous encounter for Li Hengsheng was a faceless ghost among the crowd. In an instant, Li Hengsheng felt dizzy. If it weren’t for the protection of the Primordial Qi, he could have easily died there.

Fortunately, Li Hengsheng’s will was strong. He recovered from the dizziness in just two breaths and killed the Illusion Ghost. However, this experience left him with lingering fear. If he didn’t have the Primordial Qi, he might have been chopped into pieces in those two breaths.

Li Hengsheng fought tirelessly on the streets, killing until he became numb. There were just too many Ghost Clan members, he even forgot that he was in a massacre.

Thanks to Li Hengsheng’s powerful divine body, otherwise, even if he wasn’t overwhelmed by the Ghost Clan army, he would have died from exhaustion.

Even so, after fighting for more than an hour, Li Hengsheng felt extremely exhausted and could hardly hold on, mostly due to mental fatigue.

After killing thousands of Ghost Clan members, countless more came. Li Hengsheng was almost too tired to continue.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt so tired that he could barely lift his spear. But he kept killing, one step at a time, even when his steps became unsteady.

If he returned to his base in this state, those who knew would understand that he was exhausted from fighting the Ghost Clan. Those who didn’t might think that Li Hengsheng had been sneaking off to have fun with female ghosts.

“Die!”

With another thrust of his spear, he killed another Ghost Clan member. But immediately after, dozens more Ghost Clan members rushed up, as if Li Hengsheng had slept with their wives. Their relentless pursuit made Li Hengsheng feel a hint of despair.

Where did all these Ghost Clan members come from? Why were they all crazily pouncing on him, as if something on him was attracting them?

Just then, a figure descended from the sky. Seeing the Ghost Clan members rushing up, the figure moved like moonlight, instantly weaving through them.

The next moment, all the Ghost Clan members fell to the ground. The figure’s movements were extremely swift, without any hesitation.

Li Hengsheng was panting heavily, half-kneeling on the ground. He wasn’t pretending; he was truly exhausted.

He watched as the figure approached him.

“No wonder I couldn’t find many Ghost Clan members. It turns out they all ran to you, my husband. You’re a bit too greedy, attracting so many Ghost Clan members all by yourself.”

The person was Lu Shiran.

Just an hour ago, Lu Shiran felt that the number of Ghost Clan members was decreasing. She wasn’t worried about running out of enemies to kill, but in an hour, she only killed a dozen or so. This made Lu Shiran feel that something was wrong, so she came to investigate.

When she saw so many ghosts here, she realized that all the Ghost Clan members had run here.

Lu Shiran looked to the other side of the street, where a mountain of ghost corpses lay. This sight was an eye-opener for her.

Li Hengsheng, all by himself, had killed so many!

Wasn’t he tired?

“I’m exhausted.”

At this moment, Li Hengsheng was too tired to argue with Lu Shiran. Even if she called him “husband”, or even “dad”, Li Hengsheng didn’t have the energy to correct her.

All he wanted to do now was to sit down and take deep breaths to recover his strength.

“It’s not fair, husband. You’re cheating.” Lu Shiran said to Li Hengsheng with righteous indignation.

“I… I cheated? Do you think I wanted this? Didn’t you see I almost died from exhaustion?” Li Hengsheng retorted irritably. He was almost devoured by these ghosts, his life was at stake, and she accused him of cheating?

What was going through this girl’s mind?

Li Hengsheng was too tired to even complain.

“You’re still saying you didn’t cheat?” Lu Shiran walked up to him, reached out her hand, and grabbed something from behind Li Hengsheng.

“What is it?” Li Hengsheng was taken aback.

At this moment, he saw a blood-red butterfly in Lu Shiran’s palm.

Seeing this, Li Hengsheng was somewhat surprised. What was this thing, and why was it on him?

“Blood of the Ghost Lord.”

Lu Shiran said calmly, “It’s just diluted countless times. This thing can attract many low-level Ghost Clan members. To them, the Blood of the Ghost Lord is a supreme supplement. So you used this thing to attract so many Ghost Clan members here, leaving me with no ghosts to kill. If this isn’t cheating, what is?”

“This thing isn’t mine.” Li Hengsheng’s face turned serious. Why would this thing appear on him?”Isn’t it yours?” Lu Shiran blinked, “Then whose is it?”

“I wish I knew.” Li Hengsheng furrowed his brows, could it have been placed on him by one of the seven ghosts he had killed earlier?

“Do you still want it? If not, give it to me. I didn’t manage to kill many from the Ghost Clan tonight.” Lu Shiran asked Li Hengsheng seriously.

Li Hengsheng waved his hand, “Alright, alright, if you want it, take it. It’s yours.”

However, upon hearing Li Hengsheng’s words, Lu Shiran suddenly blushed. She stepped forward and asked seriously, “You said it’s mine? Could this be the legendary token of love between couples?”

“Bullshit, it’s not!”

Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but retort, “I’ve told you, there’s nothing between us. The attraction you feel towards me is not love at first sight.”

“I don’t understand, then what is it? I think you’re just making excuses to dump me.” Lu Shiran asked coldly.

“Ah.” Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, and immediately, his internal energy surged, and a sun and moon rose behind him.

Li Hengsheng’s Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body was displayed in front of Lu Shiran.

“Do you understand now?” Li Hengsheng knew that if he didn’t reveal his divine body, this girl Lu Shiran would probably continue to misunderstand.

Lu Shiran looked at Li Hengsheng’s divine body, and a hint of emotion finally appeared on her usually calm face, “Divine body.”

“Yes, you have a divine body, and so do I. That’s why we have that special feeling towards each other. Do you understand now?” Li Hengsheng explained patiently.

“I understand.” The surprised expression on Lu Shiran’s face only lasted for two seconds before returning to calm. But then, she showed a puzzled look, “You said you have a divine body, and I have one too, but why does your divine body feel so weak?”

“Is that thing of yours really a divine body?”

Pfft!

Li Hengsheng felt as if his heart had been stabbed by Lu Shiran.

“My divine body has already reached the minor achievement stage, but why is your divine body still in its infancy, not even at the entry level? Why is that?” Lu Shiran asked curiously.

Pfft!

Another stab.

“By the way, can your uninitiated divine body resonate with mine? I thought only divine bodies of the same level could resonate. What’s the name of your uninitiated divine body?”

Pfft!

Li Hengsheng felt like he was already dead.

Every word from Lu Shiran was like a knife stabbing into his heart.

“Anyway, you now understand the reason for our mutual attraction, right? So stop calling me your husband from now on.” Li Hengsheng quickly said.

“Oh? Why can’t I?” Lu Shiran asked, “My master said that love at first sight is because something about the other person deeply attracts you, their personality, appearance, etc. These are the necessary conditions for love at first sight. Your divine body resonates with me, attracts me, isn’t this love at first sight?”

“What kind of theory is that!” Li Hengsheng was dumbfounded by Lu Shiran’s explanation.

What on earth did Guanglan Palace teach you?

Why are they always talking about love?

Don’t the people of Guanglan Palace have anything serious to do?

Has your master read too many romance novels?

“I have my own judgment.” Lu Shiran said calmly, “My master said that when I grow up, I should have my own understanding of many things.”

Li Hengsheng wanted to refute Lu Shiran, but he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

This girl is simply out of her mind.

“How strange.”

At this moment, Lu Shiran suddenly said three words.

“Have you finally noticed the strangeness in your words?” Li Hengsheng said unhappily.

“I mean this Ghost Lord’s Blood is strange.” Lu Shiran held up her palm, her bright starry eyes staring at the butterfly, which was still flapping its wings.

“The aura of the Ghost Lord’s Blood should attract many from the Ghost Clan. But…” Lu Shiran looked around, “We’ve been talking about love here for so long, why hasn’t a single ghost come?”

Who the hell is talking about love with you!

But hearing Lu Shiran say this, Li Hengsheng also felt something was wrong. If it was like before, this place should have been surrounded long ago.

“Maybe all the ghosts here have been killed?” Li Hengsheng looked at the bodies around him. The air was filled with a murderous aura, and the ground was soaked with blood. The smell of blood was very strong.

Even his clothes had been dyed to the point where their original color was unrecognizable.

On the other hand, Lu Shiran was still so clean, her exquisite face still had a delicate beauty. It was hard to imagine what Lu Shiran would look like when she grew up.

“No.” Lu Shiran suddenly looked up and pointed to the sky, “It should be because of them.”

Li Hengsheng frowned and also looked up.

“That is…” Li Hengsheng’s face turned pale. On a tower in front of them, there were four figures.

Two of them were kneeling on the ground, seemingly showing utmost respect to the other two.

One of the standing figures was cloaked in a black robe, his face completely obscured.

The other standing figure was even more terrifying.

Just standing there, he seemed to have the power to freeze the mountains and seas!

The faint aura he exuded was enough to destroy anyone in this world.

He seemed like an insurmountable mountain, looking down upon them, his mere presence made Li Hengsheng and Lu Shiran feel irresistible.

In this world, he seemed to be the king.

“What is this…”

Li Hengsheng was greatly shocked.

His aura was as strong as the sea, and a casual glance from him seemed to be able to peer into one’s soul!

Who was this person?

How could he be so strong?

“Grandmaster.” Lu Shiran uttered these two words.

They had actually encountered a Grandmaster here!

It was simply unbelievable.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm. He looked at Li Hengsheng and Lu Shiran, but no emotion could be discerned from his eyes.

It was as if he was looking at two dead people.

“Something’s not right.”

At this moment, Li Hengsheng suddenly realized something was wrong.

“When a Grandmaster appears, my master will sense it and she will come to save us immediately.” Lu Shiran was not worried. If a Grandmaster-level expert appeared, the human side would definitely detect the ghostly aura of the Grandmaster, and Lu Hanyan would definitely arrive soon.

“Your master won’t come.” Li Hengsheng said with certainty.

“Why?” Lu Shiran asked with a frown.

“Because this Grandmaster… is not from the Ghost Clan.” Li Hengsheng didn’t feel any ghostly aura from him. This Grandmaster should be a human.

Hearing Li Hengsheng’s words, Lu Shiran was also taken aback.

Her Pure World Eye instantly activated!

Indeed, she didn’t see any ghostly aura on this Grandmaster.

He was actually a human.

How was this possible!

Moreover, if he was a human, then they wouldn’t be able to sense the ghostly aura of a Grandmaster-level expert, and the human experts wouldn’t come to save them.

If they encountered a peak Postnatal Realm, or even a Prenatal Realm Ghost Clan, they might be able to escape. But facing a Prenatal Realm Grandmaster…

How could they possibly resist?

Not to mention that she was only a minor divine body, even if she reached the major divine body, she wouldn’t be able to withstand a Grandmaster.

The gap between the Postnatal Realm and the Grandmaster Realm was simply too great, even greater than the difference between an adult giant and a human baby.

It was impossible to bridge.

“I’ll leave this to you.”

The man in the black robe said lightly, “That Li Hengsheng, he is the key. You must get him.”

“Don’t worry, I can handle two Postnatal Realm brats.” The Grandmaster said calmly, “But I didn’t expect that I would have to make a move in the end. This kid can really fight, so many Ghost Clan couldn’t drown him. If he wasn’t the key, I really wouldn’t want to kill such a treasure.”

“I didn’t expect it either. Anyway, I’ll leave this to you. We’ve already failed once, this time we must capture Li Hengsheng.” The man in the black robe finished speaking, turned around and leaped down from the tower, disappearing from sight.

Only the three of them were left at the scene.

“Do you have any last words?” The Grandmaster looked down at Li Hengsheng, not even glancing at Lu Shiran.

The target is me?

Li Hengsheng had a thought.

How did this human Grandmaster appear in this Ghost Devil, and why was he specifically here to kill him?

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the Longevity Sect?” Li Hengsheng could only think of this possibility.

The Grandmaster chuckled, “You know quite a lot. I have no need to hide from you. Yes, I am from the Longevity Sect.”

“How did you infiltrate this Ghost Devil?” Li Hengsheng was puzzled.

“You don’t need to know that.” The Grandmaster said slowly, “Knowing who you’re dying by is already a favor to you. The last thing I can tell you is, the one who kills you is me, Zhao Juezong. Remember my name, and avoid me in your next life.”

“Wait.”

At this moment, Lu Shiran stood in front of Li Hengsheng.

“You can’t kill my husband.” Lu Shiran’s cold eyes stared at Zhao Juezong, “If you kill him, my Guanglan Palace will never let you go.”

“Little girl.”

Zhao Juezong laughed, “Step aside, I don’t want to hurt you. You’re not my target, and you’re now the treasure of Guanglan Palace. If I hurt you, I’m really worried that old man Guangzu will go crazy.”

“I won’t move. My master said that husband and wife should help each other. If one dies, the other will only feel endless pain.”

Lu Shiran shook her head, “I don’t understand now, but I don’t want to feel pain, so you can’t kill him.”

Although Lu Shiran was talking nonsense, Li Hengsheng was a little touched that she could stand in front of him.

“Lu Shiran, step aside. His target is me. The Longevity Sect has always wanted my life. He won’t stop. What you need to do now is to leave here and tell your master and our Dao Mountain Ancient Land about the appearance of the Longevity Sect.” Li Hengsheng pulled Lu Shiran to the side.

“No.” Lu Shiran was very determined.

“Alright, stop playing house in front of me. It’s time to go.”

Zhao Juezong shook his head lightly, ignoring the two young people showing their affection in front of him, and directly raised his hand, pointing out a killing move!

The energy at his fingertips seemed to tear the sky and the earth in an instant!

The sky suddenly changed color, and even the dark clouds seemed to be shaken open by this finger.

He directly locked onto Li Hengsheng. At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt as if the sky was falling!

The sense of death enveloped him, climbing up like a snake vine.

Even from a distance, he could feel his Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body trembling!If this finger were to crush down, he would be reduced to a bloody pulp in a matter of minutes.

Turned directly into a pile of flesh and blood.

“Celestial Star Field!”

Lu Shiran’s gaze deepened, her body radiating a brilliant starlight, and behind her, a vast expanse of starry sky suddenly appeared!

Above that starry sky, starlight twinkled.

There were as many as sixty-four stars!

Lu Shiran stood under this starry sky, appearing invincible!

Her eyes were like the two brightest stars, exceptionally conspicuous.

Lu Shiran stood directly in front of Li Hengsheng, the sixty-four stars radiating light to the extreme. Her icy eyes stared at the finger, her palm slowly raising, as if she wanted to block this finger!

Li Hengsheng’s face changed on the spot, this girl was courting death!

He wanted to push Lu Shiran away.

Although he didn’t like Lu Shiran, he wouldn’t let a girl die for him!

He had once watched Lu Qiaoqiao leave in front of him, how could he now watch another girl die for him?

She did possess a divine body, but a Postnatal Realm cultivator, even with a divine body, couldn’t withstand a master of the Innate Completion Realm!

“Shi!”

A sword qi roared out, the golden sword light directly shattered the finger in mid-air.

At the same time, the golden long sword swept across the sky, the sword qi sweeping away the clouds, heading straight for Zhao Juezong.

Zhao Juezong’s face changed.

A long stick appeared behind him, and with a swing in the air, it forcefully blocked the sword!

But he was also knocked back dozens of meters!

Today, I drew a picture of Li Hengsheng practicing the “Zhao Mountain Immortal Gazing Painting”. Once, someone saw an immortal appear on Zhao Mountain and drew a picture. Li Hengsheng gained insight into the Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body from this painting! Okay, I wrote the words in the picture wrong, don’t spray.
