I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 233: Dark Forces

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The dead mosquito peacefully fell to the ground.

The Fire Phoenix and Daji were baffled at that mosquito.

The mosquito was not ordinary. It was a figure—hard to notice because of its stealthy powers. Plus, they were too distracted and shocked by Li Nianfan, so they did not notice it at first.

When they finally noticed it, it was too late. They could not attack it while it was on Li Nianfan.

They looked at the dead mosquito and their eyes widened.

How...

The mosquito was dead as expected, but... It was not just the figure that had been destroyed—it was the real person!

That was too scary!

Figure incarnation was a skill of high-level cultivators. The mosquito was one of the figures, which meant the cultivator was probably gifted and could produce a lot more figures. As long as one of the figures was still alive, they would never be dead.

However... They could clearly feel that the original power source of the mosquito had been forcefully transferred. The main cultivator was dead!

Li Nianfan even gently pinched it as if it was just a normal mosquito.

The sight of that—

Too terrifying. Something that had never been done before!

Immortals would be scared soulless at that.

Was this the power of a bigshot?

No, powerful was an understatement.

The Holy Emperor and the others did not see it up close. They only watched the mosquito going up to the expert from afar. Then, the expert simply slapped it dead.

It was kind of unreal.

What did it say? Something about how it was an Immortal?

‘How useless. Told you that you’d be just an insect. Why didn’t you believe us? Look at you, slapped dead as a mosquito.’

The three mosquitoes on their necks were petrified. They went stiff and blank. They could not believe what they were seeing.

They were threateningly powerful previously, but then they saw their God slapped dead so easily?

The visual impact stopped their minds from working. They could not handle it.

How could someone so terrifying exist?

Slap!

The Holy Emperor and the others slapped them at the same time, releasing the three hysterical mosquitoes from their suffering.

“A puny mosquito dares to suck Mr. Li’s blood? Good riddance!”

Rich casually stomped on the dead mosquito. He said respectfully, “Mr. Li, I have the utmost respect and admiration for you. If any idiot dares to insult you in the future, please, come to me directly. I’ll handle it! I won’t let anyone slide, not even mosquitoes!”

A soldier behind him said sincerely, “That’s right, Mr. Li. If anyone dares bully you, our General will be the first to object it!”

Li Nianfan laughed. He saluted them and said, “Haha, thanks a lot, bros.”

Rich said with a slightly apologetic tone, “Mr. Li, your knowledge is far too important. I have to hurry back with it. Sorry about that.”

“Nevermind, go,” nodded Li Nianfan.

Rich looked at the blacksmiths and said politely, “Everyone, I have a request. Could you come with me to the Xia Kingdom? We need to pass on the knowledge of forging. Please.”

Owner Feng and the others were cooperative. They immediately accepted, “No problem, of course.”

“We have to rely on you to stop the Southern brutes. Work hard on that!”

Then, everyone simply packed and they were ready to go.

Rich told Li Nianfan, “Mr. Li, farewell.”

Li Nianfan saluted and said, “Take care, General Rich. I hope you succeed. See you...next time!”

For a soldier, ‘see you next time’ was the best phrase to use.

“Mr. Li, take care!” said Rich. Then, he yelled, “Let’s go!”

Tap tap!

Li Nianfan stood there and watched as the others left. He felt sentimental.

Suddenly, he saw the Holy Emperor and the others walking over from afar.

They quickly walked over to Li Nianfan with smiles on their faces. They greeted, “Mr. Li, did you come to the Fallen Town for a fun trip?”

Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. “It’s you guys. Greetings to the Holy Emperor and Lady Luo.”

“Mr. Li, your talents are impressive. The improvements on the weapons are directly beneficial to the frontliners at war. You’ve helped the people greatly,” complimented the Holy Emperor from the bottom of his heart.

A bigshot was still a bigshot even as an ‘ordinary man’. He was far more superior than a cultivator.

“That’s an overstatement. I only tried my best to help.” Li Nianfan looked worried as he asked, “Are the demons that good? Not even the cultivators could stop them?”

“It’s not looking good so far. The demons have become powerful in a short amount of time. The expansion of their army means more powerful beings. As for us...”

The Holy Emperor sighed heavily and said, “The Immortal Realm has been on a downhill slope for a long time because of the broken bridge to immortality. I’m not sure if we’ll even have backup.”

It seemed like a war between Demons and Immortals was going to happen!

Li Nianfan was worried. He asked, “Holy Emperor, will they attack us here?”

The Holy Emperor looked determined as he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. I won’t let that happen.”

That was not the answer Li Nianfan was looking for.

Based on the reaction of the Holy Emperor, the situation was not good.

The Southern brutes fought their way from the far South. The South borders and North borders were separated by the Clear Moon Lake. As the Southern brutes were powerful, the North border probably could not hold on much longer. They would definitely get attacked.

The first place in the Northside was the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

Dangerous!

Li Nianfan was considering moving away.

He dazedly chatted with the Holy Emperor for a while then he said goodbye and left.

Li Nianfan walked out of the Fallen Town. He looked at the little red bird on his shoulder and asked, “Goddess Fire Phoenix, if you protect me, can you save me?”

The Fire Phoenix glanced sideways at Li Nianfan. She did not want to answer that question.

‘Do you even know who you just slapped to death? Me? Protect you?’

He was asking for a beginner to protect a master. How could he say that?

She said, “I, Fire Phoenix, can protect you.”

Li Nianfan instantly felt relieved. He was confident in the Fire Phoenix. It should be okay since she promised him.

She was the one who said he could ask for something, right? He could depend on her!

At the Fallen Town.

The Holy Emperor and the others watched Li Nianfan leave. They were deep in thought.

The expert was obviously hinting.

The Holy Emperor suddenly asked, “Shiyu, did you get it?”

“I got it,” Luo Shiyu nodded and said with determination. “I’m ready to go to the front lines!”

The Holy Emperor looked down and said, “The expert chose to live in the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty because he trusts us! Now, someone’s attacking us and they’re about to disturb the expert. We have to stop it even if we die!”

Luo Shiyu nodded. “The expert made the Human Sovereign and he passed on his knowledge to the humans. The human’s Luck is off the charts. If we disappoint the expert now, how can we live with ourselves?”

“Now...is the time to shine for us chess pieces!”

...

At the Above Immortal Realm.

Deep in the jungle of an Eastside mountain area.

It was known as the forbidden spot. Not even demons or beasts dared to get close to the area.

It was buzzing inside the jungle and there were mosquitoes everywhere.

The mosquitoes were unusually ferocious. They could suck up blood and Spiritual Blood in an instant. They were also toxic. One would be left with bones once surrounded by those mosquitoes.

Suddenly, a bunch of mosquitoes fell to the ground without warning. Their bodies were stiff and they were instantly dead on the spot.

At a mountain cave in the deeper depths of the jungle.

There were three men with black robes sitting with their legs crossed. They were very skinny and had dark energy surrounding them.

The one on the left groaned. His eyes and mouth widened. He looked utterly horrified. His dark energy faded and he was lifeless.

The other two opened their eyes at the same time to look at him. They looked very confused.

The Second Brother was baffled. He asked in disbelief, “Third Brother...is dead?”

“How’s this possible? Didn’t he go to the Immortal Realm? How did he die?”

“What happened exactly that gave him that look of despair?” The Second Brother flinched. “And he sent one of his figures, but how did his real self die?”

“The Immortal Realm...has something horrifying!” The Big Brother was serious. “I know something big’s about to happen when the realm changes. Third Brother was too careless.”

The Second Brother said in a trembling voice, “It’s an apparent scheme of a bigshot! I have a feeling that this is bigger than a scheme from the eldritch times! We cannot make sudden moves.”

“Try to think of ways to test the water with some pawns.” The Big Brother looked at the dead body of the Third Brother.

“Spiritual Blood’s too precious. We can’t waste it!”

The Big Brother and Second Brother turned into mosquitoes. They landed on their Third Brother, who was then sucked dry instantly like a deflated balloon...

Moves were made in the Immortal Realm.

There was a scary aura at the borders of the Azure Ville.

When the Liu Family Immortal died, the sect was constantly being interrogated on what happened!

Not a lot of people in the immortal realm knew the whole story. The Immortal that fought briefly with Daji only knew that Daji had great ice powers.

A lot of bigshots were attentive to the death of the Immortal. Liu Kuang would be satisfied with his death.

However, the Azure Ville was getting more attention from the public because it was the Azure Ville Immortal that came down to the Immortal Realm!
