Chapter 212: Kneel Down

Bai Tiandi’s tremendously powerful palm strike broke under the assault of King Xian’s chest bone.

He was sent flying by the bone.

He spat out a few large mouthfuls of blood and looked at King Xian in horror.

“You’re that strong?” Bai Tiandi asked in disbelief.

He was already at the Void Returning Realm. On the path of cultivation, it could be said that he had reached the pinnacle of what a mortal could achieve.

But he was still no match for King Xian. The latter had easily defeated him.

“I was careless and didn’t scan you thoroughly. You deserve to die for slaughtering all my warriors!” King Xian retorted coldly.

“You damn skeleton. You wanted to massacre an entire city right after you awakened. It was your subordinates who provoked me and trampled on my fields. Yet now, you are blaming me?”

Bai Tiandi struggled to stand up as he glared at King Xian.

“It’s useless no matter how stubborn you are…”

“Although I don’t know why you are still farming here despite being a Void Returning Realm expert, you will die today for sure. I will turn you into my puppet.” King Xian coldly stated.

Under his feet, creaking sounds could be heard as a parasite worm crawled out. It flapped its wings and flew straight at Bai Tiandi.

“Wow, you play with worms? You’re not right in the head…”

Bai Tiandi’s eyelids twitched. He directly pointed a finger, wanting to kill the worm.

“Do you really expect that you can freely move in front of me?” King Xian said coldly.

He tapped the air and space itself instantly froze.

Bai Tiandi found himself unable to move.

He could only watch as the worm flew over.

The worm was neither fast nor slow.

It seemed as if it wanted to torture Bai Tiandi by making the latter stare at his impending doom.

“This worm isn’t simple. It’s a puppet worm…”

“After it enters your body, it will attach itself to your divine soul.”

“It will not do anything at all until I give the order. Once it receives my order, it will control your actions and restrict your abilities. You will forever be unable to resist my orders and you will become my most loyal servant in due time. King Xian walked elegantly as he slowly explained.

“You…” Bai Tiandi’s hands trembled.

He didn’t want to be controlled by a worm.

Buzz!

The worm flew over and circled Bai Tiandi.

In the very next moment, it directly charged toward Bai Tiandi’s body.

Bai Tiandi’s breathing stopped for a moment as he hurriedly tried to seal his body’s pores.

“Get lost!”

A domineering voice resounded all of a sudden.

A ball of flame burned fiercely in the distance. Then in the blink of an eye, it arrived and directly burned the puppet worm into ashes.

King Xian was enraged.

The five-colored flames in his skeleton eyes turned into deep red flames.

He looked at the person who made a move just now.

He was a butcher.

The raging flames in King Xian’s pupils swayed momentarily, representing his shock.

“You are also at the Void Returning Realm, but you are actually killing pigs?”

King Xian asked in disbelief.

“What’s wrong with killing pigs?” Fire Lord snorted coldly.

He waved the pig slaughtering knife in his hand and directly shattered the void sealed by King Xian, allowing Bai Tiandi to move freely once again.

“Are both of you right in the head?” King Xian asked quizzically.

One of them was farming while the other was slaughtering pigs.

This…

There must be something wrong with their head!

They must’ve cultivated in seclusion to the point of going crazy, this was definitely the case!

“You are the one who’s not right in the head.” Fire Lord had a bad temper.

He directly scolded, “Your entire family is not right in the head, you dumb skeleton!”

Bai Tiandi couldn’t help but laugh as he remarked happily, “Not bad!”

“A simple but effective insult… I like it!”

King Xian chuckled.

Cold winds blew as he pointed at Fire Lord and walked over. “It seems that I’m right that both of you have gone senile from cultivating. With such capabilities, both of you are actually farming and killing pigs.”

“It’s simply too embarrassing.”

“Instead of wasting such talent and cultivation by killing you both, why don’t I just take you two for my own use?”

Creak! Creak!

Several puppet worms appeared and crawled out from under King Xian’s clothes.

“Just obediently become my subordinates!”

“You two alone won’t be able to protect this ancient city!” King Xian said coldly.

“The two of us can’t protect this city. But what about four, six, or eight of us?” Fire Lord sneered.

“Lies, deception! How can there be so many experts at the Void Returning Realm in one place?”

King Xian scoffed in disdain.

“There may not be in other places—but here—there are many of those experts.”

Bai Tiandi remarked with a strange look.

“What big words!” King Xian sneered. He didn’t believe him at all.

“Everyone! This skeleton won’t believe me! What should I do?” Fire Lord shouted.

“Everyone! It’s been such a long time since we’ve gotten into a fight?”

“Aren’t you all bored of doing the same routine every day?” Bai Tiandi shouted.

King Xian watched coldly. For him, these two were mere clowns performing in a circus.

Beyond the Void Returning Realm was the False Immortal Realm.

The False Immortal Realm had already touched the scent of immortality.

Logically speaking, this realm didn’t belong to the mortal realm anymore.

Hence, the Void Returning Realm was the pinnacle of this world.

It was already impressive that there were two Void Returning cultivators in one city.

But these two actually said that there were other Void Returning experts in this city?

What a joke!

Boom!

But just as King Xian abandoned this thought, a few terrifying auras came from the ancient city.

These auras swept through the clouds as they revealed their presence.

The soul fire in King Xian’s eye sockets fiercely trembled. He made a sidelong glance at the direction of the auras, and he saw a chef walking out.

His plump belly was covered with the smell of oil and smoke.

“What’s up? The two of you at once can’t handle him?”

The chef laughed as he asked.

King Xian mumbled in shock. “A Void Returning Realm chef…”

But his shock further intensified when he saw that behind the chef, an old man who was cutting hair for others walked out with a shy smile.

Behind the old man was King Kaoshan who was herding sheep.

After listening to Lin Jiufeng’s words back then and applying them in practice…

He managed to make a breakthrough into the Void Returning Realm.

“A barber and a shepherd at the Void Returning Realm…”

King Xian was about to vomit blood as his soul fire trembled.

How could this be?

How could there be so many of them here?

It turned out that Bai Tiandi and Fire Lord weren’t clowns…

He was actually the clown this entire time!

“Are we enough? If it’s not enough, there’s more like us inside. You will definitely be shocked by how many of us are inside. The total number of powerhouses outside can’t compare to the sheer quality of the experts here.” Bai Tiandi chuckled and remarked.

He felt inexplicably pleased with the shocked look on King Xian’s face.

The confident and conceited Bai Tiandi had evidently changed after the blow he got from Lin Jiufeng.

“You guys…”

“Why are so many powerhouses like you guys are gathered in one place?”

“And why are you all doing these mundane things like butchering, cutting hairs, being cooks and shepherds?”

“What’s with this lifestyle?” King Xian couldn’t understand no matter what.

“It’s all because of Mr. Lin!” Fire Lord bluntly replied.

“Yes, this is all because of Mr. Lin.” Bai Tiandi nodded.

He didn’t want to compete with Lin Jiufeng anymore.

He was a peerless genius, but Lin Jiufeng was a peerless freak.

It was just like comparing apples and oranges.

Both of them simply weren’t in the same category.

“Mr. Lin?” King Xian was puzzled. “Who is this Mr. Lin?”

“Mr. Lin is eating noodles there.” Fire Lord pointed.

King Xian’s gaze landed on a breakfast shop at the city gate. A young man was sitting there, dressed in simple but clean clothes. He was about to finish his last bowl of noodles.

Then, Lin Jiufeng stood up and slowly walked out with a white cat in his arms.

Wherever he passed, everyone showed him respect.

Under the respectful gazes of Bai Tiandi and the others, Lin Jiufeng walked up to King Xian.

He looked at King Xian expressionlessly.

“Kneel down!”

He said two simple words.

King Xian was instantly enraged.

He immediately wanted to kill Lin Jiufeng.

But in the very next moment, his skeleton body knelt down uncontrollably.

Thump!

The insufferably arrogant King Xian was forced to kneel down before Lin Jiufeng.
