Chapter 595: Chapter 300 Immortal Submission
"You have cultivation but struggle in this world for hundreds of years, only to remain a frog in a well. Do you think you can kill me with this bit of poisonous gas?"
Lin Beichen said leisurely.
He truly did not know how to evaluate Mr. Li Jiang.
Before he came to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, everyone spoke of Mr. Li Jiang as if he were an unparalleled Exiled Immortal.
However, when he met him, he felt immensely disappointed.
From this person, he saw obsession and greed, but more so, he saw deep despair from struggling for hundreds of years without any end in sight.
Persistence in cultivation?
Perhaps this person had once had it, but now he had been worn down by time and forgotten his original intention.
Boundless black aura, controlled by Mr. Li Jiang, who still did not realize he was on the brink of death.
Moreover, even if he did know, he did not consider Lin Beichen to be heaven!
He could reverse death and live, break through the Death Gate, and wander freely for hundreds of years, relying on his indomitable spirit!
And the method of cultivation was his greatest obsession!
The wear of hundreds of years had already made him forget the joys of being human; he persisted in living purely out of his obsession with cultivation.
"Lin Beichen, your talent is strong, but you do not understand the depths of this world, underestimating the heroes of the realm. Today, you will undoubtedly die!"
Qi Liuyan stood atop a tall tree, struggling desperately, and shouted loudly:
"Lin Beichen, give up; how could you possibly be a match for Mr. Li Jiang? As long as you hand over the secret, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion is willing to give you sanctuary!"
"What Qi said is very good. Talents like you should have a beautiful future. As long as you are willing to hand over everything, I am willing to take you as a disciple. Moreover, I can assure that the future Medicine Immortal Pavilion will be inherited by you."
As long as Lin Beichen surrendered and took the poisonous medicine he provided, his life would be equivalent to being in his hands.
However, these were all words for later; it was unnecessary to say them now, they would make him seem too worldly.
Lin Beichen looked coldly at Mr. Li Jiang, never once considering compromise.
These ancient clans might not have much other experience, but when it came to torturing people, their experience was extensive.
Lin Beichen gazed at the pervasive black aura, then looked down towards Mr. Li Jiang and said softly:
"How do you know I will definitely lose?"
"It seems... you still do not understand your situation!"
Mr. Li Jiang sighed leisurely and moved the compass.
On the compass, hundreds of divination symbols from the Book of Changes transformed, ultimately landing on a death divination.
The divination gathered, and the black aura in the sky responded, tumbling incessantly and converging into a massive skull-shaped black mist.
The skull’s face was ferocious, opening its huge mouth as if to swallow all life, slowly pressing down.
Mr. Li Jiang embraced the skull, seemingly the embodiment of death. At that moment, although not a god, he was equivalent to the Grim Reaper on earth.
"Lin Beichen, kneel."
Except for Lin Beichen, everyone present kneeled down.
They prostrated themselves completely, not even daring to lift their heads.
The deathly black aura in the sky had already transcended human imagination.
The wealthy merchants who came for medicine and treatment crazily recited scriptures, their eyes burning with fervor.
They had witnessed the divine, feeling both fear and honor.
The closest group to the black aura felt difficulty breathing, their hearts trembling, and their blood boiling as if it would burst forth from their bodies.
In just a moment, they bled from their seven orifices, emitting agonizing screams.
This pervasive black aura originated from the obsession of a cultivator who died tragically hundreds of years ago.
This obsession intertwined with the deepest poisonous gas of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, had already transformed into a terrifying aura difficult to dissolve in the world.
It only took a moment to sever life.
The only ones who could persist under this aura were the various great elders and the Alchemy Grandmasters.
"Is this your full power?"
Lin Beichen silently looked at the sky and said softly.
"Is this still not enough?"
Mr. Li Jiang’s face suddenly darkened.
"You look down on the people of the world so much; can you truly break this?"
"Give up, boy; this is not a power you can contend with."
Lin Beichen sighed lightly and extended a finger.
"I thought you had cultivated for hundreds of years, even crossing the so-called Death Gate, possessing great divine techniques; but in the end, you are just a frog in a well.
Struggling among the countless beings in this world, you might be special, but no matter how high a frog in a well jumps, it is still just a toad."
"Such impudence, how dare you insult me?"
Mr. Li Jiang’s face changed abruptly, and he roared in anger.
Boundless black aura turned into countless skulls, as if hell reappeared.
The aura swept across, plundering vitality.
The beautiful scenery in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion instantly turned withered, layers of dense black attachments appearing on countless buildings.
The buildings cracked, and the people inside released waves of wails.
"Mr. Li Jiang, stop!"
Qi Liuyan screamed.
"They are all our people; killing Lin Beichen alone is enough, why implicate others?"
Elder Sun glared angrily at Qi Liuyan.
"Qi Liuyan, shut up! Mr. Li Jiang has his considerations; how dare you question him?"
Qi Liuyan trembled slightly, looking at Elder Sun in disbelief.
He had thought that everyone respected Mr. Li Jiang for his character, making him the pillar of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
It turned out they supported Mr. Li Jiang, even blindly disregarding worldly principles?
In the crowd, only his sister’s eyes flashed a complex expression.
