Chapter 528: Chapter 518: Capture
Upon hearing Elder Zi put it that way, Yi Zheng took another look at the big iron pot and suddenly shivered, then honestly continued to study his books.
He swore that if he had put in even one-tenth of this effort during his school days, he wouldn’t have struggled even to find a al later on!
Given the chance to study again, Yi Zheng naturally refused to fall behind.
In the days that followed, Yi Zheng, aside from going to the toilet, gave up sleep, sitting there every day reading books, studying various cunning techniques detailed within.
The more he read, the more upright Yi Zheng’s mindset beca.
He discovered that while these ntal thods seed sneaky and brutal, every move was highly efficient and practical.
These cultivation techniques weren’t ant for the arena or for gentleman’s sparring, but for ambushes, vendetta fights, and hunting battles; their power was comparable to divine artifacts!
Especially since a large part of the content recorded the weaknesses of divine beings, divine beasts, fierce beasts, and sect cultivation techniques, along with thods to counter them!
These counterasures were all-encompassing, involving spiritual dicine plants, the mutual suppression of the Five Elents, the interaction of Yin Yang, human nature, and so forth…
Yi Zheng beca more and more engrossed in his studies, eventually reaching the point where he neglected both sleeping and eating.
It was Elder Zi who, seeing him growing thinner day by day and unable to bear watching him decline, forcibly opened his mouth every day to feed him soup for so spiritual energy nourishnt…
Within that month, Yi Zheng thoroughly enjoyed his studies.
But soone else was nearly crying.
That was Peng Demon King. His resurrection ti was initially unstable, sotis three days, sotis two. This was related to his low system integration…
But later, it stabilized to once every three days.
Initially, he thought about rallying his brothers to attack Chopping Wood Sect and smash Kong Ni’s head after resurrection.
After having his head smashed several tis, he began to think about how to counter-kill one or two.
After being smashed twice more, he started figuring out how to survive.
After another two smashings, he just gave up and sat down upon resurrection, “Damn it, just do it, give grandpa a quick end!”
Then… he was captured.
“Elder Zi, just kill if you want, why capture ? Do you want to hear your Grandpa Peng admit defeat? Dream on!” Peng Demon King roared.
Elder Zi glanced at him, “Stop yelling. It’s not who wants to capture you, it’s my Little Junior Brother… My Little Junior Brother is coming.”
Elder Zi looked towards the distance, towards Rabbit who was walking and reading a book, and said.
Peng Demon King also noticed Yi Zheng. When he first ca to Chopping Wood Sect and got killed for the first ti, he had noticed this Rabbit.
But he had never imagined that the Rabbit was also a disciple of Chopping Wood Sect!
When Peng Demon King saw the piece of bird at hanging from Rabbit’s waist, his eyeballs imdiately turned red!
Although the bird at had been processed into jerked at, blood is thicker than water, he could feel that it was his flesh!
He stared at the Rabbit flipping through two pages of the book and tearing off a piece of at to throw into his mouth, casual as if eating snacks!
His anger surged up instantly, and he bellowed, “You little rascal, how dare you eat your Grandpa Peng’s flesh?!”
Yi Zheng looked up at him, “You’re caged and still so tough? Oh right, you’re a bird person, beaks are indeed pretty tough. I’ll think about it, maybe use your beak to make a comb or a shield or sothing.”
Peng Demon King’s eyes started to spew fire with fury. Although he couldn’t use the Identification Skill on Rabbit, from his way of walking and breathing, Peng Demon King could tell that his strength was very weak!
A weak big Rabbit, actually eating his at and even planning to use his bird beak as a comb and shield? That was outrageous!
Peng Demon King grinded his teeth, “You dead Rabbit, why did you capture ?
Do you want to humiliate ?
Do you want to submit to you?
I’m telling you, it’s impossible!
You don’t even know who your Grandpa Peng is?
I’ve fought in the Heavenly Court, I’ve been into Hell, I’ve road across the three realms, when have I ever submitted to anyone?”
As he was shouting, Rabbit plugged his ears and said to Elder Zi, “Big Senior Brother, could you make him shut up? His bird squawk is too annoying!”
Elder Zi nodded and then stretched out a large hand to pinch Peng Demon King’s mouth. Peng Demon King glared at Elder Zi as if to say, “Can you be a bit more civilized? A bit more cultured?”
But Elder Zi didn’t even spare him a glance.
Yi Zheng then walked up to Peng Demon King, raised his head from the book, and said with a slight smile, “Big bird, weren’t you asking why I captured you?
Actually, it’s nothing much.
Mainly because after killing you those few tis and dragging your corpse back from far away, the flesh was sowhat not fresh.
It’s better to capture you. We can cut the at slowly.
Whatever we feel like eating, we just cut that. Anyway, you can regenerate as long as you breathe.
You said it yourself, you’ve road the three realms and waged wars in the Heavenly Court, clearly a fighter.
Fighters don’t fear pain, so later when I cut off your balls, chop your thighs, or dig out your heart, liver, intestines, and lungs, you probably wouldn’t mind, right?”
After saying that, Rabbit even gave him a purely innocent smile, “Your silence ans you agree.”
Peng Demon King’s eyes grew larger and larger, bulging with madness as he inwardly roared, “I don’t speak? You’re pinching my mouth shut, how am I supposed to speak?”
Imdiately, Peng Demon King thought of another thod and shouted through his divine sense, “Rabbit, who said I agreed? I refuse! I do not agree!”
Rabbit, taken aback, said, “Elder Brother, he can still talk!”
Elder Zi raised his hand and slapped, with a smack becoming less one strike, Peng Demon King felt his sea of consciousness genuinely unstable, his soul shaking, his spiritual power unable to concentrate, and thus he couldn’t speak through divine sense anymore.
Elder Zi said, “He can’t talk now.”
Yi Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then blinking his bright, wide eyes, asked with an innocent face, “Big bird, what did you just say? Say it again?”
Peng Demon King: “@#￥#&…”
Elder Zi said, “This bird’s nostrils are bleeding… Could it be sothing serious?”
Yi Zheng grinned and said, “Uh… probably just furious.”
Elder Zi: “…”
Yi Zheng said, “Okay, big bird, if you don’t speak, it ans you agree. Later, I’ll call soone to slice you up, and when we chop your doodle, we’ll be gentle, okay?”
Having said that, Yi Zheng turned around and began to walk away, counting softly as he walked: “Three, two… ”
Then, from behind him ca the crying call of Peng Demon King, “Rabbit… Rabbit! Don’t go, I was wrong, can we have a proper chat? I give up!”
Peng Demon King denying his fear of death was false, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been beaten into submission by Kong Ni in the past.
He knew he could resurrect, so he wasn’t afraid of death.
But when he realized this rabbit intended to tornt him, he quickly submitted, controlling his soul out of fear and once again concentrated, sending out pleas for rcy.
anwhile, Yi Zheng also finished counting, “One!”
Then he laughed, Yi Zheng took a deep breath, set aside his smile, and wore an impatient look as he turned to Peng Demon King, “Big bird, what else do you want to talk about?”
Peng Demon King said, “Just don’t kill… no, as long as you don’t torture , whatever you say goes! I’ll listen to you, okay?”
Yi Zheng tilted his head and said, “But I don’t really want anything from you.”
Peng Demon King glared at Yi Zheng and said, “Rabbit, I may be weak in combat power, but I’m not a fool. Everyone has Suru Mustard Seeds and Suru Bags. If you kill and throw my body in there, not only a few hours but even hundreds of years later, my body would still be fresh. You caught from afar not to eat but to make do your chores!
I agree. Isn’t that enough?”
Yi Zheng smacked his lips and glanced guiltily at Elder Zi, who appeared quite composed, “It’s good that you understand. If Little Junior Brother hadn’t found you useful, we would have really considered keeping you penned to slice up for at.
After all, we don’t have the ti to lurk at your doorstep and kill you every day.”
Peng Demon King was utterly speechless…
Yi Zheng then looked at Peng Demon King with a face of innocence and kindness, “Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerate, oh dear, I also couldn’t bear to see this big bird constantly being beaten and killed. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a church, so I decided to step in and save.”
Having finished, Yi Zheng noticed Peng Demon King’s eyes were wide open, filled with “What the heck are you talking about?”
Yi Zheng said, “In short, it was all out of good will and kind heart that I stepped in to save you.”
In Peng Demon King’s eyes, it was still one sentence, “Rabbit, stop pretending, I don’t believe a word you say! You’re even craftier than that old guy! Absolutely no good!”
Yi Zheng didn’t expect the other party’s perception to be so sharp, feeling a bit deflated.
Elder Zi said, “Little Junior Brother, acting is a profound art that requires constant reflection and cannot be mastered overnight. You are not quite there yet, so you couldn’t deceive him. Keep practicing, and soday you will succeed.”
Yi Zheng adopted a teachable deanor, then dropped the act, threw his head back, stood with his hands on his hips, cockily wiggling one little foot non-stop, and said, “Big bird, since you saw through it, I won’t pretend anymore, I’m laying my cards on the table!
I now want to hire you as a mount for travel, a guardian for the door, and a bodyguard when outside.
But, I don’t want to pay you.”
It’s your choice whether to work for or continue to be used for soup.”
Choose!”
Peng Demon King, watching this smug little rabbit, wished he could slap him to death, but then thought, when under soone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.
As long as he could leave this place, he might still have a chance to escape!
After all, this rabbit was too weak!
Thus, Peng Demon King narrowed his eyes and said, “Rabbit, I’m afraid of death, so I’ll work for you. Money doesn’t matter, just don’t kill .”
Yi Zheng grinned, his big eyes twinkling, what Peng Demon King could think of, Yi Zheng had naturally thought of long ago.
After all, what he had been researching these days was just how to swindle people.
Turning a powerful being into a mount was sothing the books listed countless thods for!
This was also a test from the Sect for Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng said, “Deal, I won’t kill you. Co on, let’s sign a contract! Once you sign this pact, you’ll be my man. I’ll treat you to good food and drinks, not to ntion, plenty of bird soup!”
Hearing this, Peng Demon King almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
