"What are you doing here?"
The Celestial Lizard shouted in a deep voice.
"The Secret Realm is my territory. I managed to capture a prisoner with great difficulty, so naturally, I need to interrogate him properly."
Xu Lingjun raised his hand and said, "And you ntioned before that His Majesty Jianfeng would eventually retaliate, so it's only natural for to gather as much intelligence on him as possible. You must have heard of the saying 'know your enemy and yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster,' right?"
"Do you think I'll tell you?"
"I am indeed prepared for your stubborn resistance. I've even prepared many thods of torture, such as lighting the Sky Lantern, rcury skinning, rats burrowing into the stomach, oral transmission, and so on..."
He rely ntioned a few terms.
Xu Lingjun didn't even explain these tortures in detail, but the Celestial Lizard's scalp went numb hearing them. So things don't need explanation; imagining them is frightening enough.
"But..."
With Xu Lingjun's "but," the heart of the Celestial Lizard suddenly tensed up.
"But after all, you're of the sa race as Xuan Gui and the others. If I go too hard on you, they might develop a grudge against ... you should be able to understand this."
The Celestial Lizard laughed awkwardly, with an undertone of tremble even he couldn't detect.
He said, "Indeed, we are of the sa race, and even in the worst-case scenario, we never planned to harm their lives. Similarly, if you dare to torture , they will never willingly submit to you."
"So, I actually have a good idea, which is a win-win situation."
Xu Lingjun smiled and asked, "Don't you think it was quite inhumane of to use such despicable tactics to defeat you before... Do you want to reclaim your honor from that previous defeat?"
"What do you an?"
"It ans nothing. I want to interrogate the contents you know, and you want to defeat and reclaim your honor. Why don't we co to an agreent... We'll have a fair duel. If I win, you answer one of my questions; if I lose, you can leave Blue Star, wherever you want to go, and I won't stop you."
Xu Lingjun continued, "You can challenge over and over, with no limit to the number of tis. No matter how many tis I win, as long as you answer my questions honestly, but if you can defeat even once, I'll let you go."
The Celestial Lizard asked, "Why should I believe you?"
Xu Lingjun tossed a small player to the Celestial Lizard.
The Celestial Lizard opened it, and within, Xu Lingjun's image appeared, saying, "I want to interrogate the contents you know, and you want to defeat and reclaim your honor..."
This was precisely the recording of what he had just said.
"If I go back on my word, you can spread this video. It will beco known to all your kin that I am untrustworthy. By then, gathering them back would be far more difficult. This sincerity should be enough, right?"
Xu Lingjun asked, "I've stepped back this far, and you still don't dare to agree?"
"Of course not. I just want to ask... when do we start?"
The Celestial Lizard's face showed a sly grin.
This Human kid... does he really think that breaking Jianfeng's tooth ans he is invincible?
In truth, although his strength was not equal to Jianfeng, he was still one of the Thirteen Elders. His might far surpassed that singular tooth of Jianfeng's, only then he had no power to use, and he could only temporarily use the token His Majesty Jianfeng bestowed as a weapon.
Unexpectedly, that made him think it was his ace treasure.
I've been completely underestimated.
The Celestial Lizard twisted his neck, sneering, "I can't wait to fight you."
"Right now."
Xu Lingjun spoke, and directly pressed the unlock button, releasing the layers of shackles wrapped around the Celestial Lizard, which imdiately fell to the ground.
"Good!"
As soon as the word 'good' fell, the Celestial Lizard's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace... Clearly, he had blended completely with the surrounding environnt.
"What?!"
Xu Lingjun was alard, exclaiming, "There's not even a trace of temperature, that's impressive... Ah..."
He scread, as a punch landed on his back.
Propelled forward several steps... his face flushed red for a mont, appearing as though he was on the verge of spitting blood.
"Where are you, where are you."
Xu Lingjun remained alert, frequently striking. With his Spiritual Power extending, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped significantly.
"No wonder this kid dared to make this agreent with , his abilities are quite decent too. Being able to destroy His Majesty's Magical Treasure, it was indeed not by re chance."
The Celestial Lizard sneered, but lanted that this fellow had overlooked his innate supernatural ability... to freely transform, and this was not a re color change like the lower levels. He could transform his body into the exact state of the transford object!
For example, transforming into water, and becoming flexible and unbreakable, transforming into stone, becoming firm and immovable. Transforming into tal... that wouldn't do, he'd be lted down.
But this supernatural ability had allowed him to face many strong enemies without fear, always able to advance and retreat freely.
"Hahaha, prepare to die."
The Celestial Lizard laughed triumphantly, his figure constantly transforming, landing hit after hit on Xu Lingjun.
Yet this fellow's skin and flesh were so tough, it was not inferior to Xuan Gui, rendering all the Celestial Lizard's assaults re nuisances, only eliciting a few pained cries from Xu Lingjun but causing no real injury.
One attacked fiercely without breaking the defense; the other had a remarkable defense but couldn't grasp the enemy.
Though the exchange seed fierce, in reality, both were fighting their own fight.
The Celestial Lizard began feeling restless. How to break through such thick skin and flesh of the enemy?
If this dragged on... his Demonic Power was depleting faster than in any other battle.
As exhaustion weighed upon him, fearing the outco...
What he feared most naturally ca to pass.
A montary lapse during battle... a punch landed on Xu Lingjun, but before he could retract, Xu Lingjun had already seized his arm and smashed it to the ground fiercely.
With a loud bang.
Xu Lingjun grabbed the Celestial Lizard by the throat, and he couldn't help but exhale a long breath, his complexion showing an almost unbearable redness, clearly nearing his own limits.
"Damn it... I almost won."
The Celestial Lizard furiously punched the ground, shouting.
"But you lost, answer my question."
Xu Lingjun exhaled more Demonic Power, quickly shutting his mouth.
He asked, "Answer , in that Spirit Realm you inhabit, how many Demons are there in total? How many elders like you are subservient to Jianfeng? Answer truthfully, I can tell if you lie or tell the truth. If you lie to even once, I'll confine you here forever, never letting you out."
"A total of fifty-three Demons, but as for the number of elders, sorry... that's not a single question, it's two."
"Fine, I'll co back next ti."
Xu Lingjun deftly put the shackles back on the Celestial Lizard and walked out briskly.
"Damn it, he couldn't hold on either, I was so close to winning!"
The Celestial Lizard pounded the ground in anger, seeing Xu Lingjun's staggering silhouette. Evidently... not yet at his limit, but he, the Celestial Lizard, was.
His loss was entirely due to carelessness, a brief lapse that allowed his foe to capitalize.
Additionally, he was still not fully recovered from a previous electric shock, which paralyzed his entire body.
Next ti... if there was a next ti, provided he was in peak condition, he was certain he could win.
With this thought, the Celestial Lizard sat cross-legged without hesitation, earnestly starting his cultivation.
anwhile, staggering out of the prison cell, Xu Lingjun couldn't help but burp... revealing an expression of amazent and unease, mumbling, "I miscalculated; I didn't expect the Celestial Lizard to be this formidable. Compared to him, Xiong Zhen seems so immature. Next ti, I can't drag it out this long, or else I'll really expose myself... hic... hic hic... if..."
During this period, Xu Lingjun had made rapid progress.
Otherwise, if it had been the Celestial Lizard instead of Xiong Zhen initially, he might have had to endure a stalemate, barely managing to defeat him.
And there were at least thirteen more formidable enemies like him.
He let out a couple more burps.
Promptly, Xu Lingjun turned swiftly towards the prepared Secret Realm, intending to seclude himself.
