Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 688: Missing a Guard Dog

"You!"

A trace of disbelief emerged in Zhong Cuo's eyes.

"This is impossible!"

His calculations had never failed, there was no chance of a mistake.

He had personally signed the master-servant contract.

As the Child of the Plane, he had collected many servants and summoned beasts during his rise.

He understood this contract intimately.

After draining Profound Qi, obstructing space, and isolating the Divine Soul's fluctuation, the master-servant contract could not take effect.

"Surprised?"

"Caught off guard?"

Brother Cheng, transformed into Li Junlang, swung the sword in his hand, watching Zhong Cuo's expression with keen interest.

Being able to make the Child of the Plane display such a defeated expression gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Initially, he wanted to use Sage Jiang's identity to directly confront him, but considering the use of Profound Power rather than Immortal Power, he might not be able to handle someone at the Emperor Profound Eighth Layer.

Even if this person was just an Outer Body Incarnation.

"Steady!"

"Haha, great!"

Outside, Xin Ling and the others couldn't help but cheer.

Just now, they had been utterly despairing, having never expected that under such circumstances, they could still call Elder Li out.

Zhong Cuo's sharp eyes narrowed, his expression constantly changing.

The first miscalculation had dealt a significant blow to his confidence, which had been prideful for billions of years.

Nonetheless, he wasn't so easily defeated.

The next moment, a mysterious wave suddenly arrived.

His figure wavered, seemingly about to break through to another world.

Li Junlang had slain several at the Emperor Profound Ninth Layer level; Zhong Cuo knew clearly that his Outer Body Incarnation wasn't his match.

If he couldn't win, then there was no need to sacrifice an Outer Body Incarnation needlessly.

After all, it would cause some minor loss to his true body.

He was very decisive, if it couldn't be done, he would retreat; there was no shame in it.

And leaving here was simple; using his true body to summon, this Outer Body Incarnation could be transmitted back to the Sixth Layer, no matter the peril.

But Brother Cheng didn't give him that chance.

Just as his figure was about to vanish, it suddenly became solid again.

That trace of mysterious wave was cut off, firmly blocked outside. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Where are you rushing off to?"

Come and go as you please?

"Do you take this place as an inn or a tavern?"

"Even if it were, you'd need to settle the bill before leaving."

Killing intent flashed in Zhong Cuo's eyes; since escape was impossible, he could only fight.

Just as he made his move, Brother Cheng directly unleashed fifteen simple attacks accompanied by the Speed's Profound Pattern of the Seventh Layer and the Sword's Profound Pattern of the Sixth Layer simultaneously.

In the confined space, dazzling fireworks blossomed.

Amidst the flickering, small worlds were constantly emerging and being destroyed.

This wave was potent enough to obliterate the entire Divine Hall.

Yet at this moment, it was confined within a yard's radius around the two, with no leakage.

Zhong Cuo, within it, was blasted backward heavily.

But only flew a meter before seemingly crashing into an invisible wall.

Falling from the air.

Before he even landed, Brother Cheng grasped his throat.

Powerful Immortal Power surged straight in, rushing into his body.

The Profound Soul's Profound Pattern within his meridians was shattered by the torrent, rapidly collapsing.

Subsequently, the Divine Soul also struck into his Sea of Consciousness.

Completely severing the thread connecting this Outer Body Incarnation to Zhong Cuo's true body.

Finally, he imprisoned a strand of his Split Soul from this Outer Body Incarnation.

Only then did he toss the hollow shell of Zhong Cuo onto the ground.

"You!"

"You are ruthless!"

The entire process was swift and sleek, like a rapid film.

Outside, Xin Ling and the others hadn't even had the chance to see what happened.

Only saw the Emperor Venerable who used to make them tremble lying in front of them like a pile of mush.

Zhong Cuo had no power left to retaliate, as this Outer Body Incarnation had lost the Profound Pattern Power, unable to use any Profound Art.

What remained was merely a shell with strength comparable to the Emperor Profound Realm.

In this state, even a simple Earth Profound First Layer could defeat him.

"And this is considered ruthless?"

"You came all the way here, not treating you warmly, how could we do justice to you?"

Brother Cheng looked down at him without any sympathy.

Imagining if he really was an ordinary Celestial Profound Eighth Layer needing to summon the otherworldly evil demon for help, what would have been his fate?

Zhong Cuo's calculations weren't flawed.

It was just the intelligence that was wrong, misled by Brother Cheng.

Neither he nor anyone else could have dreamed that Sage Jiang and Li Junlang were the same person, with no need of summoning.

"Alright then, you can dispose of this guy as you please."

This Outer Body Incarnation was completely useless, Brother Cheng wasn't worried he could stir up trouble.

Moreover, even if he did cause trouble, what could possibly happen?

Upon hearing this, Xin Ling and the others felt especially surreal.

For them to... dispose of... Emperor Venerable Zhong Cuo?

Even though it was a crippled Outer Body Incarnation, they wouldn't dare.

The name and reputation built over billions of years were deeply ingrained, hearing the name instilled innate awe, let alone looking at the protagonist's face of the Child of the Plane.

Doesn't it send chills down your spine?

Their reactions were all evident in Zhong Cuo's eyes.

Even when fallen to such a state, this dignified Emperor Venerable's eyes still showed a trace of contempt.

"Dispose of me?"

"Just you?"

"Whoever dares dispose of me, once my true body emerges, I'll make them suffer eternally until the day the Profound Realm is ruined."

This kind of curse and threat was chilling.

And with his true body's methods and past domineering style, these words were not mere talk.

He coldly watched Brother Cheng's back: "Li Junlang, either release me or simply kill me."

He was prepared for the worst.

At worst, abandoning this Outer Body Incarnation, revenge could wait for another day; he could afford the loss.

Except now, his Divine Soul was imprisoned, unable to even commit suicide.

"With your strength, humiliating the opponent only senselessly lowers your worth, it's disgraceful."

Brother Cheng slowly turned, casting an inscrutable glance at him.

Where does this guy find the arrogance after becoming at this stage?

Still demanding either release or death.

"Oh, you want to teach me to do things?"

He smirked, glancing at the uneasy Xin Ling, Shen Liang, and others, knowing they couldn't adapt to this change.

"Li Hanyu, this Outer Body Incarnation of Zhong Cuo is yours."

He waved to Li Hanyu: "Our Divine Hall needs a guard dog, hope you can train him promptly."

A guard dog?

Xin Ling and others almost fainted.

That was Zhong Cuo's Outer Body Incarnation, the Profound Realm's foremost expert!

Doing this, isn't it too reckless?

Zhong Cuo's expression greatly changed, nearly collapsing.

"Li Junlang, how dare you!"

Even without Profound Power, he was still trying to escape from here.

Yet, just two meters out, Li Hanyu slapped him back in.

"Yes!"

This woman bowed toward Brother Cheng.

Then, expressionless, she grabbed Zhong Cuo's nape, taking him away from the scene.
