425 Humph, Mankind.

In the suburbs.

An elder drifted to a certain spot.

“Looks like the battle is over…”

The elder’s expression was grave and serious.

He was an itinerant cultivator. He sensed that there were a lot of energy fluctuations in this area and he had come right away to check. Perhaps…

He could benefit from it.

Hence…

He carefully walked to the area where there were energy fluctuations.

Over the mountains.

Around the corner.

Afterward…

He was deep in his thoughts.

At the front.

In the place where there were energy fluctuations, a young man lifted a wristband communication device and was constantly posing, taking photos of himself.

The elder was dumbstruck.

What is going on?

This is crazy!

Look, it’s the middle of the night, a young cultivator did not sleep to take selfies in the wilderness of the mountains???

No matter how good-looking one was, one could not be this narcissistic?

Although…

The elder looked at him. He was indeed dashing.

However…

At this moment.

The elder did not see the body lying not far away…

Although the person was dead, there was still a faint residual aura…

Oh.

Peak six-star.

Wait a minute…

A peak six-star!

The elder shuddered and he looked carefully at the young man’s appearance. He was Lu Ming, a person who had become very popular and was widely searched by netizens daily! He was the president of the Sword Card Master Association!

Lu Ming…

Is that powerful!?

The elder shivered and quickly left.

…

“Who is it?”

Lu Ming asked calmly.

“An elder who was passing by.”

Xiao-Xiaojian did not seem bothered.

They had noticed the elder when he was in the vicinity. He behaved sneakily and was scared away by Lu Ming. They could not be bothered about him.

“Okay,” Lu Ming said calmly.

He had just ended a battle. He did not want to stir up any troubles.

It was just that…

Bam!

Bam!

Lu Ming took two more selfies.

Well….

From the photo, he could clearly see a golden Sky Water Sword in the area between his eyebrows. The sword rested on a conspicuous spot on his forehead.

It was very dumb.

“So…

“Am I a Swordsman like you now?”

Lu Ming sighed.

“No,” Xiao-Xiaojian retorted. “You are a Swordsman. I am a sword spirit.”

Lu Ming looked at it and remained silent.

Well, humans…

One would only see others’ nature in times of crisis. Just now, the card was still very enthusiastic in calling people “father”.

“Hehe.”

Xiao-Xiaojian declined to comment.

While he was calling Brother Cat ‘Father’ it had nothing to do with him who was a salted fish[1.Salted fish: Chinese internet slang for a boring and idle person with no ambitions.]!

Brother Cat was so amazing. It was handsome and majestic. It was the Brother Cat who had let it go. It would naturally call Brother Cat father! Even if the cat was castrated, it was still a father to him!

It had nothing to do with Lu Ming.

Somewhere.

The black cat that was in a deep sleep was speechless.

It had the feeling that something seemed to be exacting its revenge in disguise…

Hence…

After pondering deeply…

Crash!

It swung its tail and Xiao-Xiaojian was plastered to the ground.

“You deserved it.”

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

Who told you to use tricks?!

At this very moment…

Buzz—

The Sky Water Sword flashed faintly, hiding in the area between Lu Ming’s eyebrows.

Well….

It was hidden away.

Lu Ming could clearly feel that the Sky Water Sword was hidden in the area between his eyebrows. It was just that it was embedded deeper inside and its lights no longer shone.

Well….

The energy recovery speed…

It was still as fast!

“Hmm.”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Does this mean that the talents of Sky Water Sword are permanent?

The Art of Equalization used to be in the Original Card. Right now, this talent was in the area between his eyebrows. That place resembled the appearance of the Sea of Consciousness!

As for other functions, he had to go back and take his time to do testing.

Buzz—

Xiao-Xiaojian spiraled into the sky.

It tried hard to pluck itself out from the ground.

Well….

There was a big pit at that spot.

“Make the pit bigger,” Lu Ming instructed.

Xiao-Xiaojian was somewhat baffled. But it still did what Lu Ming said and made the pit bigger. Afterward, Lu Ming threw the body of the elder into the pit.

“Bury him,” Lu Ming said.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Wait a minute.

Forget that it had to illuminate, translate and be used as a screwdriver in the past, but now it had to bury a body as well??

“An able man is always busy,” Lu Ming said meaningfully.

Xiao-Xiaojian silently filled the pit with mud.

Moments later.

It thought of a question. “I-I just remembered something.”

“Please speak your mind.”

Lu Ming glanced at it.

“Did you really intend to help me when you brought up the idiotic question last time?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was very skeptical.

It always felt that Lu Ming wanted to do it in and instead choose a fair and beautiful flirtatious slut from the spirit body department which was the harem for his thousands of spirit bodies!

That must be it.

“I did.”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

Hence…

He gave Xiao-Xiaojian a serious explanation about Sino-Japanese relations and Sino-Korean relations.

“Is that true…?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was very skeptical.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming was certain.

“Then what are Japan–South Korea relations based on?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was puzzled.

“Hmm…”

Lu Ming pondered deeply. “Perhaps based on… pictures?”

Xiao-Xiaojian looked doubtful.

It had the feeling that Lu Ming was lying, but it could not pinpoint which part was wrong.

Wait a minute.

It suddenly remembered.

“Liars!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was furious. “The pictures are not for Japan–South Korea relations. Last time you clearly said that they were for Asia!”

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming could almost not catch his breath.

Damn!

How could the card remember all this?

He only mentioned it casually when he was dissing him!

“You’ve got it wrong.”

Lu Ming coughed.

“Impossible!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was certain. “After integrating with the Sky Water Sword, my abilities have been enhanced and I have a faster thinking speed. I remember all these things very well!

“Humph!

“Don’t try to lie to me!

“Let me recall, other than this, you also mentioned something about Europe and America…”

Bam!

Lu Ming lifted his hand, using energy to interrupt Xiao-Xiaojian.

Cough.

“Ah.

“Don’t be too concerned with these small details.”

Lu Ming sighed. “I feel that… let’s not discuss this topic.”

This was a pointless argument!

“You are indeed a liar!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was furious.

To think that it thought that Lu Ming was loyal to it!

True enough, he only had eyes for the flirtatious sluts from the spirit body department!

Humph, mankind.

Shush!

Lights flashed.

Xiao-Xiaojian went back to the Original Card to sleep.

“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

Lu Ming asked.

The whole world was silent.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming sighed.

He looked at the ground, the elder had been buried.

Lu Ming looked at the sky. It was better to return now.

As for the Sky Water Sword…

He would study it when he was back.

The energy fluctuations must have attracted a lot of people. There had already been a passer-by who came by to check. Although he was frightened by them and had left, it was likely that other people would come.

Hence…

Lu Ming packed up and left quietly.

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed.

Lu Ming left the depths of the suburbs.

However…

At this moment.

He kept having a strange feeling. It was odd… he kept feeling like… he had forgotten something…

…

At this very moment…

Somewhere.

At the entrance of a cave.

A bonfire was burning.

The lady who was hung upside down drifted in and out of consciousness. She perspired profusely. Her whole body was soaked.

“Save…

“Cooked…”

The lady’s voice was getting softer and softer.

Suddenly…

A cool wind blew. It seemed that someone had appeared.

The lady was surprised and she instantly woke up. She looked in excitement toward the direction where the figure was coming and was dumbstruck.

A strange creature appeared.

She could barely make out a vague outline from the corner of the blindfold that she was wearing. But she was certain she had never seen someone like that.

Anyway…

It was not a human!

A b-beast?

The lady was in utter despair.

Not only would she be burned alive, she would also be eaten by monsters…

However…

When she took a closer look, she discovered that the beast did not come over to eat her. Instead, it looked around carefully.

It was to the extent that…

It had four limbs and yet it could walk on two legs!

It was a beast with a cognitive spirit!

The lady’s eyes lit up. It did not matter that it was a beast. Since it had a cognitive spirit, they could communicate with each other! It might be more reliable than humans!

“S-save me…”

The lady asked for help.

The beast was motionless.

“I beg you, please!”

The lady asked for help.

The beast still remained motionless.

“I…

“Oo… Oo…, I am almost cooked…”

The lady was teary-eyed.

After hearing her pleas, the beast looked at her with some hesitation. It looked at the cave to make sure there was no one before it slowly came over.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

The lady was so touched that she was in tears.

Finally…

She would be saved!

…

At this very moment…

Deep in the suburbs.

A handsome figure was quickly making its way around.

“I remember that there is something that I have forgotten.”

Lu Ming sighed.

It was no wonder he kept feeling that he had forgotten something!

When he fought with the elder previously, he had verified that there were no treasures in his cave. Therefore, he did not think of going back! Now that he thought about it…

He had indeed left something behind!

The female disciple from the Sword Card Master Association!

Although she was a spy, it was a life.

Lu Ming thought about it and decided to go back to save her. After all, it was an easy task.

There was no other choice.

He was too kind-hearted.

“Hehe.”

Xiao-Xiaojian’s voice could be heard. “What if she is not a beauty, but a burly man with scars?”

Lu Ming was silent for a long time.

“Shut up!” Lu Ming said unhappily.

“Humph, mankind!”

Xiao-Xiaojian sneered.

Lu Ming could not be bothered with it.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

He hurried toward the cave.

However…

Just when he was about to reach it, Lu Ming felt a chill to his bones.

In the air…

There was a faint fragrance.

He smelled it. It was the smell of meat…

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Xiao-Xiaojian was shocked as well.

Oh.

Crap!

She was almost barbecued…

She was simply the most miserable spy in history!

“Hurry!

“Let’s see if we are in time!”

Lu Ming rushed forward.

He reckoned that if she was medium rare, perhaps she could still be saved.

However…

The closer he was, the more he felt something was wrong.

The smell…

It was almost well done!

There was an inexplicable feeling that the smell was somewhat familiar. When he reached the cave, he was dumbstruck!

“What?”

Xiao-Xiaojian cast a curious glance and was dumbstruck too.

Not too far in the distance.

A lady was hanging above a bonfire.

Was she cooked?

No.

She was still screaming…

Of course.

This was not the point. The point was a living creature was carefully edging closer to her. Of course, this was not the main point as well. The main point was its identity!!!

Shush!

The creature noticed Lu Ming’s presence.

Hence…

The two of them glanced at each other.

Bang!

A terrifying murderous intent emanated in the air.

“You…

“I-it’s you!”

The creature was able to use human language. “Although I have never seen you before, I can sense you! This is because… my energy is of the same origin as yours…

“You…

“It’s you!!!”

The creature rejoiced.

The lady was even more surprised.

They knew each other!

The president knew the creature!

Furthermore…

The creature seemed to be very happy!

In that case…

There was hope for her!

Cheez—

Cheez—

The bonfire was still blazing. The lady felt a wave of heat.

“Oo… Oo…

“President, save me.

“It’s hot…

“I am in the wrong. Oo… Oo…

“I’ll never be a spy again.

“I’ll warm your bed everyday…

“Oo… Oo…”

The lady begged for help.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

Lady…

Do you know if Xiaobai heard what you just said, you will not get to live past tonight…

However… they did not know that Lu Ming was in an awkward situation now.

→_→

Lu Ming had a strange expression.

Why?

This was because the creature that could speak human language… was a cow! And, it was a golden roasted whole cow that smelled fragrant…

That was right!

It was the cow that was wanted by the police!

Lu Ming had seen it in the news!

Shush!

There was total silence.

There was only the burning sounds of the bonfire.

Well….

And the pleas of the lady.

Buzz—

Faint murderous intent emanated. The golden roasted whole cow stared at Lu Ming, its eyes full of greed. Lu Ming’s energy had the same origins as its energy!

And it was a noble golden cow!

Although it was well-done, it still had the special ability of golden cows—to devour!

Therefore…

If it killed Lu Ming…

Perhaps it could devour Lu Ming’s energy.

Hehe…

At the thought of this…

It was much happier.

It could not defeat the dean of The First Academy. However, killing Lu Ming was an easy feat. Perhaps, this could be its chance to soar to great heights!

“Wait a minute.

“This cow…

“Is it that cow?”

Xiao-Xiaojian had come to its senses.

Although the process was tortuous and magical, it did not stop the cow from having a cognitive spirit! This suggested that the card was amazing!

“Crap!

“I didn’t know you could create cows?

“I thought you are only good at bragging[1]!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was in awe.

The golden cow that was not far away silently tightened its pelvis upon hearing those words.

Human beings… are indeed dangerous!

Lu Ming became sullen.

That was a metaphor. I am not going to blow…

Damn!

Who the hell wants to blow a cow!

Shush!

The murderous intent was even more obvious.

Lu Ming did not dare to relax.

Although the cow had a funny appearance, he could clearly feel that its combat abilities…

No ordinary beast was able to escape from The First Academy. Lu Ming’s scalp felt numb and cold just from its murderous intent.

This cow…

It was much stronger than the elder!!!

Whoosh!

Cold winds flew past him.

The golden roasted whole cow swung its hooves.

Shush!

A faint golden trace of shiny oil flashed.

The shiny oil contained terrifying energy. Lu Ming was startled and he darted to the side. He was shocked to discover that the shiny oil had sealed all the paths outside the cave!

This cow…

It had sealed every possible escape route!

“Hehe.”

The golden roasted whole cow looked at Lu Ming in excitement.

“Little kid…

“Let me devour you.”

Bang!

Lights exploded.

The golden roasted whole cow suddenly charged toward Lu Ming.

Shush!

Lu Ming hurried to retreat.

The combat capabilities of a peak six-star was far beyond his imagination, particularly when the other party was a special beast. It was all the more terrifying!

According to rumors…

This kind of cow had to exercise regularly and maintain a good mood to ensure that its meat was tender…

Although Lu Ming had no idea why food had to maintain a happy mood, many scientists in his previous life studied the method of raising healthy and happy livestock…

Anyway, this cow exercised regularly and was physically fit!

After its transformation, its combat capabilities were even more terrifying! Lu Ming who was only a five-star could not fight it head on. He had to retreat while fighting it off!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The earth roared.

Their battle caused huge cracks in the ground.

Lu Ming retreated while fighting and was driven into the cave by the roasted whole cow!

Bang!

Bang!

The fighting was still ongoing.

However…

At the entrance of a cave.

The lady that was being barbecued over the bonfire was going mad.

“Is anyone there?

“P-president!

“The b-beast?

“Oo… Oo…

“S-save me!

“I have never heard of spies that were forced into boiling pots… Oo… Oo…

“I refused to do it but the head insisted that I be the spy. Now that I am a spy, they don’t even care about me. Oo… Oo… I only want to focus on my cultivation…

“I am being cooked… Oo… Oo…

“Why don’t…

“You kill me…

“It’s hot…”

Cheez—

Cheez—

The bonfire was burning.

It looked beautiful and surreal.

…
