Chapter 240: I Don't Care
============================================================
At this moment, Su Cheng clearly hadn't realized that the Flower-Seeking Immortal had already approved the use of the God-Slaying Weapon.
The Jade-Stealing Immortal had also dispatched his most elite pursuit force.
Such a lineup would hardly be formidable for the former Supreme Master. Without those two Godslaying Arrows, it might even be a stretch.
But for the Su Cheng of today? That was a bit too much of an underestimation!
Su Cheng had already soared away on his sword, passing the Jade-Stealing Immortal Lord by a hair's breadth. The Great Fox had headed for the Lingxian Hall!
Su Cheng, meanwhile, was now not far from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
Su Cheng had no habit of knocking on doors; most of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion's people had fiery tempers.
But unfortunately, today he wasn't in the best mood either!
"Tongzi, I want to try and see if I can take down Cheng Liang."
[Ding~ Predicted Success Rate: 7.12%]
[Ding~ System Notice: Killing Cheng Liang may disrupt the world's order and affect its progression.]
"You're getting more and more interesting. You have a mind of your own, right?"
【Ding~…… I don't understand…… Host's meaning. Please rephrase.】
"So you're saying even if I kill Cheng Liang, he might have some kind of extraordinary encounter, come back to life, and become stronger, right?"
【Ding~ That possibility cannot be ruled out.】
"Hmph. Honestly, this kind of plot really disgusts me."
【Ding~ System has received your feedback. Thank you for your valuable suggestions regarding this transmigration.】
"Hold on, I genuinely believe there's a chance—whether it's you, Tongzi, or them, I think there's a way."
【Ding~ The system will provide all assistance within its permissions. Thank you for using our services.】
"Heh, sorry to trouble you. Could you consolidate those enhancements I selected last time for Tang Shiyi? Buying them individually is too much hassle."
【Ding~ Purchase list consolidated. Total: 834,000 system points. Customizable enhancement set name.】
"Call it the Three-Minute Tier Enhancement. Oh, and bundle that authority set from beating Bai Tao too—name it the Money-Sink Build…"
[Ding~ Integration complete.]
"Dismissed."
【Ding~ Recommended for you: Dragon King Suppression Set, limited-time flash sale for just 35,000 system points. Make your Dragon King adore you~】
"Not needed!"
【Ding~ System has automatically integrated the premium Mythic-tier Fox-Taming Armor for you. The set includes: Handcrafted Mini Whip (original price 6000), Pink Limited Edition Rope of Binding, Handcuffs (Pure Love Edition), Elixir of Oblivion, and more. Now only…】
"Get lost!"
With that, the mischievous system fell silent. Su Cheng dragged his blade forward.
Now that he had money, Su Cheng acquired a decapitation blade similar to Xu Zhanfeng's. It must be said, the sword was undeniably cool.
Golden dragons coiled around the hilt, while the matte blade glowed with a faint purple light, pulsing like breathing lights—as if the blade itself possessed a life of its own!
Compared to Ye Qinghan, who had once slaughtered the Pingyun Sect, Su Cheng ascended the mountain like this—no one stopped him, and no one dared to stop him.
The blood-stained white robe bore a crimson blossom, spreading from the hem to his shoulder—a design of striking beauty.
"Master Su!"
By the time he reached mid-mountain, Su Cheng had killed few and encountered even fewer—it seemed everyone had gone into hiding.
She was the only one charging straight ahead like this.
"Master Su! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Shangguan Rou maintained her distance, first performing a proper bow before speaking again slowly.
"Master Su, there's been a misunderstanding!"
Shangguan Rou had been living in constant fear these past days. Seeing that three days had passed without incident, she had just begun to relax.
But just as she exhaled in relief, her worst fear materialized!
Master Su had arrived, blade in hand!
Master Su's great blade—its blade alone was nearly as tall as she was. Shangguan Rou knew that one swing would surely sever her head from her body!
"I don't care." Su Cheng glanced at Shangguan Rou. "The Fallen Immortal Ruler."
Visibly, the grayish barrier separated the two…
More accurately, it had imprisoned Shangguan Rou…
Shangguan Rou was stunned. Truthfully, she had imagined the worst possible outcome!
After all, it was Sect Leader Su. Getting him to show her any mercy was admittedly a tall order.
In Master Su's eyes, killing a woman probably felt no different than killing a man.
Shangguan Rou was prepared. She suspected Master Su might not even utter a word before unleashing some divine power to instantly eliminate her!
To be precise, she had prepared herself for death.
But she truly hadn't expected that Master Su… didn't intend to kill her?
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Su Cheng walked past her…
"I know you're love-struck. Wait for me. I'll go chop off Cheng Liang's head so you can hold him as you die!"
Shangguan Rou's expression changed upon hearing this, though not entirely…
Heh, if anything, this was the real Su Sect Leader…
"Master Su, please listen to Rou'er! It's not what you think!"
Su Cheng merely sidestepped the flying sword. His great sword whirled around his waist like a hula hoop, then swung horizontally before him.
He looked ahead…
Several elders of the Celestial Path Pavilion stood high above, flanked by disciples. They looked as if preparing to slay a demon, each brandishing magical artifacts with stern expressions!
"Su Cheng! Cease your insolence! Do you not recognize this place? How dare you act so brazenly!"
"Frostblade Formation."
"Su Cheng, you dare to hold the Sect Master's beloved disciple hostage? Your time is up!"
As the Lingxian Sword Formation activated, Su Cheng scanned the elders for Pei Ling…
The system indicated Pei Ling was the Third Elder of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion—a woman…
Su Cheng's gaze immediately locked onto the sole woman standing in the front row as he addressed her.
"You… Pei Ling? Is that correct?"
"Oh? Young man, you know me?"
That reaction confirmed it!
This guy's methods are peculiar. Without divine consciousness protection, it'd be easy to fall for her tricks. Gotta take her out first!
"No, I don't."
Pei Ling possessed a mental suppression ability akin to an illusion technique. Without the system's protection, even someone of equal cultivation wouldn't stand a chance against her.
"Young man, why don't you release Rou'er first? Your sister and I can sit down and talk…"
Su Cheng's unreasonable behavior wasn't new. Besides, he was the villain to begin with.
He was the one who always did the talking, and he was in a foul mood now, unwilling to waste words.
"Not necessary. Godslayer Sword Array, Ten Thousand Blossoms."
As the words left his mouth, the jade slip that had slid from his sleeve into his palm was crushed. The pre-established sword formation instantly expanded several times over!
Though most techniques within the Frostshattering Sword Art were grand divine abilities—the kind that could destroy heaven and earth—it also contained such intricate feats.
The divine technique erupted in an instant. A white sword light pierced through Pei Ling's body.
Even Pei Ling hadn't fully processed what was happening. He'd only just noticed Su Cheng's sword formation shifting from a defensive stance—and was about to react…
He felt a sticky sensation in his mouth, his vision blurring. Instinctively reaching out to grasp something, his extended hand was severed into several pieces before his eyes…
Now, though he wanted to speak, no sound emerged. His body felt like a piece of cloth, repeatedly pierced and tugged by embroidery needles and fine threads, nothing more.
Beyond the sensation of flesh being torn apart, even pain itself had vanished.
