Chapter 243 Second Bout (Part 1)
It seemed that the system had recognized the increased difficulty of his mission, and made the appropriate reward adjustments.
However, that did not change the fact that things were not looking good for him. As such, the only option available to him was to somehow lure Liu Xiu out.
For that, he needed the right opportunity, so he hid himself and lay in wait.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, yet no opportunities had appeared. Liu Xiu had not left the thatched hut, and neither had Immortal Nanhua.
It appeared that they were cultivating inside.
The only thing that made Wang Mang feel better was that he had figured out who the demon emperor in the Heavenly Lake was. It was a turtle demon emperor that had reached the 6,300-year mark.
To Wang Mang, this Turtle Emperor was not a threat.
The other noteworthy, but less positive news, was that Liu Xiu had reached the level of a demon emperor too.
This f*cker became stronger way too quickly.
Wang Mang had the system, while Liu Xiu was blessed by the heavens.
This made Wang Mang even more determined to kill him. If he allowed this guy to keep growing, there was a good chance that he would be surpassed at some point. He now knew why he had died at Liu Xiu’s hands in the future that the little fatty told him about.
He was taking risks right now, and could barely keep up with Liu Xiu’s growth. If he had continued growing stronger leisurely like he had before, there was no way he would have been strong enough to beat Liu Xiu.
This guy was the f*cking protagonist of the millenium!
Fortunately, just as Wang Mang was getting impatient, the situation changed.
Three days later, early in the morning, Liu Xiu left the Heavenly Lake with the Turtle Emperor.
Wang Mang was so excited that he almost burst into tears as he secretly followed them.
His chance was finally here!
He did his best to conceal his aura, and kept a certain distance to avoid being discovered.
Surprisingly, these two left Qilin Province, which meant that Immortal Nanhua would take even more time to come to Liu Xiu’s rescue.
Feeling optimistic, he followed them to the neighboring province, Black Dragon Province.
Now, he just had to figure out a way to separate these two.
Then, as they were traveling through a dense mountain forest, something unexpected happened.
After a brief conversation, the two of them actually parted ways and left in two different directions.
Seeing this, Wang Mang almost jumped with joy right there and then.c
Damn! Even the heavens were helping him!
Thus, Wang Mang quietly followed Liu Xiu for a while.
After determining that the Turtle Emperor was not coming back, he quickly transformed into his true form and blocked Liu Xiu’s path.
“It’s you? You didn’t die?”
Upon seeing Wang Mang, Liu Xiu was shocked.
Wang Mang opened his bloody mouth and laughed sinisterly.
“Of course I’m not dead. Did you really think you killed me?”
At the same time, Liu Xiu was shocked to discover that Wang Mang’s strength had soared!
Wang Mang had not felt so threatening back then!
How did he improve so much in such a short period of time?
Then, as if he had realized something, Liu Xiu’s face twisted and he said angrily, “F*ck! You were the one who stole the demon emperors’ heavenly treasures!”
“You *sshole! You framed me and instigated them to take action against me!”
“If it wasn’t for you, my master would never have had to compensate them with so many heavenly treasures!”
“Damn it! Those heavenly treasures were prepared for me!”
“You deserve to die! Scum, how dare you show up in front of me now!”
