Chapter 1598: Rubik's Cube Beauty (60)

Zhai Chenming had no idea that the reason he had nearly died inside the illusion was because his state of mind could not keep up with his rapidly growing strength.

One could cultivate power without cultivating the heart, but how could such a person withstand temptation?

He had encountered that mysterious soul when he was at his most frustrated and oppressed. With hardly any resistance, he had been led onto a road of no return.

Ever since childhood, everything had gone smoothly for him. His companies ranked among the nation's finest, and he had rarely met an opponent.

Then, he was suddenly thrown into a strange world.

Before truly experiencing hardship, he had already gained the assistance of a mysterious benefactor.

Filled only with resentment and suppressed anger, once he acquired tremendous power, arrogance naturally followed.

Because of that mysterious soul, he never even thought to understand how vast and mysterious this world truly was.

More accurately, he had yet to encounter any life-threatening crisis.

Standing on the brink of power, he had already begun looking down on everyone else.

At the same time, buried deep inside him was a vague fear of this mysterious world.

Since Piaomiao Fairy and Silver Ring Taoist might hinder him in the future, he obediently accepted the mysterious soul's suggestion to eliminate them.

He believed that Tang Guo and Gong Wei were merely toying with ordinary people like them.

Combined with the mysterious soul's claim that there was no escape from the Rubik World, he had found himself a perfect excuse to kill the two city lords.

To satisfy his own selfish desires, he gave himself a noble cause—

Saving countless people in the Rubik World from suffering and granting them freedom.

Following the mysterious soul's directions, Zhai Chenming located Silver Ring Taoist and Piaomiao Fairy.

Seeing them sitting cross-legged with painful and tortured expressions, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should I do now?" he asked.

"Wait."

Suppressing his presence, Zhai Chenming crept closer.

When he had almost reached them and confirmed that neither reacted, he finally relaxed.

"So the brat really came."

Silver Ring Taoist's voice sounded in Piaomiao Fairy's ears.

"How should we play with him?"

Piaomiao Fairy snorted.

"Why don't we follow the script from my illusion? I saw my sect being humiliated, and one of my junior sisters died before my eyes. I was just about to draw my sword and seek revenge."

"He came at the perfect time."

"Even though I know it was an illusion, it still irritated me."

"I'll just hack him to pieces with my sword and vent my anger."

Silver Ring Taoist chuckled.

"I've got a good excuse too."

"I'll pretend someone stole away my junior sister and cut down my love rival."

"Reasonable enough?"

"Very reasonable," Piaomiao Fairy replied with delight.

"Silver Ring, who would've thought you're full of bad ideas too?"

Looking at Zhai Chenming, Silver Ring Taoist said,

"He's still waiting. He must be expecting us to cough up blood."

"Piaomiao, why don't we spit out some blood for him? Otherwise, it'd be awkward if we suddenly jumped up."

"Good point. Come on, Silver Ring. Let's put on a show."

As Zhai Chenming patiently waited, both Silver Ring Taoist and Piaomiao Fairy suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

"Now!"

The mysterious voice rang out.

"Kill them!"

Without hesitation, Zhai Chenming gripped the short blade he had traded from someone else and rushed toward Silver Ring Taoist first, because he appeared to be in worse condition.

The blade stabbed straight toward his dantian.

Yes—

The mysterious voice had taught him that when dealing with cultivators, one must first destroy their dantian.

Their dantian was the source of their power.

Once destroyed, a cultivator was as good as crippled.
