Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 181 Being a poser is not a crime

One of the men in plain clothing shouted like a proper lackey. Wu Long even felt the urge to applaud the small minion for being very diligent in acting like a proper small minion, and not a fraud who would try and speak normally to people. But the young man in front raised his hand, interrupting the lackey who immediately shut up like a good lap dog.

"Well, well, looks like this trip is getting more and more interesting"

The young man finally opened his mouth, leisurely speaking with a smile on his face despite the tense atmosphere that enveloped the place when Shen Min displayed hostility and took out her chakrams, prompting the ten people behind the young man to also ready their weapons and the other members of Wu Long\'s group to do the same. He looked completely unconcerned about the weapons drawn as if the situation was entirely under his control.

"For the meritorious deed of bringing such fine women to me, I suppose I can give you a quick death without much pain"

He then said as Wu Long did not answer, silently looking at the young man. After some time slight displeasure appeared in the young man\'s eyes as an uncomfortable feeling crept into him. Wu Long\'s calm demeanor after the initial surprise somehow unnerved him. It did not help that while he had absolute confidence in his appearance Wu Long still far surpassed him. In addition to that, the natural charm and attractiveness to women his physique was giving him did not seem to affect the women behind Wu Long, as he did not see the enchanted gazes he was used to.

"Heh, I guess you are not even going to have final words"

He still managed to keep the initial smiling face and calm tone despite the slight irritation that he started to feel. As he raised his arm to motion to the people behind him, Wu Long finally opened his mouth with a serious expression and the young man froze mid-motion. But Wu Long just yawned and covered his opened mouth with his hand dumbfounding the group in front of him, including the handsome young man, who was now in a frozen pose that did not look as dashing as it would have had he finished his gesture.

"..."

Wu Long simply used the fact that the young man in front of him wanted to see anger and indignation flare up in Wu Long, after which he would surely trample on him and make him beg for mercy. This craving for the opponent to say something in return while acting high and mighty was pretty common among the self-indulgent people, so it was no wonder that Wu Long saw through that. He was so eager to get a reaction from Wu Long that he stopped his \'cool gesture\' in an awkward pose as soon as there was a sign that Wu Long would speak.

And now, Wu Long merely looked at him, since in this silence, the young man could not simply lower his hand or continue the motion since both would be incredibly awkward. However, the frozen pose was getting increasingly uncomfortable as well.

"Pfft...puhahaha"

Hua Ziyan and Luo Mingyu were the first ones who could not hold on and started laughing as the young man\'s face finally lost the smile.

"You really are childish despite your age, you know that?"

Ye Ling smiled at Wu Long while Wei Lan rolled her eyes at him.

"Hm? Me? What did I do?"

Wu Long feigned ignorance shrugging his shoulders as Hua Ziyan\'s and Luo Mingyu\'s laughter intensified.

"Shhh, ladies, no need to laugh so hard, he\'s just at \'that age\'. Being a poser is not a crime, you know?"

Wu Long made a rebuking face and placed a finger before his mouth as he turned to them. Shen Min slightly relaxed and wryly smiled as well, shaking her head.

The young man\'s face turned slightly red from both anger and embarrassment.

"Y-You!!!.. You are going to pay dearly for making me, Nie You, displeased!"

Fury exploded in Nie You\'s eyes as he was slightly trembling, his hands now clenched into tight fists.

He motioned his people and they launched forward. All ten of them were in the Revolving Qi Realm, while Nie You was in the Foundation Building Realm.

Ye Ling\'s sword flashed and she went forward together with Wu Long.

The people before them used techniques and skills closer to the mercenaries from the Bullshit Training Camp, only even more advanced. So Wu Long and Ye Ling decided to dispose of them while the others took a defensive stance when they saw Wu Long\'s signal.

A flurry of strikes unfurled only in split moments. Wu Long and Ye Ling ran through the group and stopped as the group also stopped behind them. The ten men then fell down one by one in pieces.

Nie You\'s eyes widened as he did not expect the experts that were with him to fail against these two after one exchange.

"Useless trash"

He commented as a luxuriously decorated halberd appeared in his hand. But at the same time, he was now even more interested in? Ye Ling.

She returned back to the others as only Wu Long and Nie You stood in front of each other.

"I am curious, where did you learn Lust Cultivation?"

Wu Long asked and Nie You expressed slight surprise.

"Heh! It seems you have some tricks. My Master is the one who passed me the glorious legacy of Lust Cultivation."

He replied with a slight look of superiority returning to him.

\'glorious legacy of an escaped rat huh\'

Wu Long thought inwardly as he almost chuckled.

"Master, huh? You wouldn\'t happen to talk about the same one who taught those guys at the Supreme Master Pavilion?"

Wu Long asked, surprising Nie You yet again.

"You really know a lot... that is not supposed to be public knowledge. Heh, but there is no use for you to know since you are going to be dead soon"

Nie You launched at Wu Long with tremendous speed as a red haze appeared around him. Wu Long parried his strike that sent shockwaves in the direction it was deflected to. They both moved as they exchanged strikes, neither being at an absolute advantage, but Nie You still pressed Wu Long.

What Nie You felt weird was that he was clearly higher in cultivation base, absolute speed, and power, but Wu Long managed to negate that with skill and technique, only being suppressed but not completely overwhelmed.

As they moved they soon reached fields that were full of running lava and steaming volcanic rocks.

"You are a weird one huh?"

Nie You said as he stopped. He could not quite take the absolute upper hand as he imagined.

"And you are about the same as those Supreme Master Pavilion idiots"

Wu Long replied and anger flared up in Nie You\'s eyes.

"As if! How dare you compare me with those incompetent imbeciles!

Those pathetic bastards were not able to meet Master\'s expectations for hundreds of years! He told me that they only became somewhat useful in the last few decades! I became his disciple only a mere decade ago and have surpassed all of their achievements!

In fact, I was on my way there to clean up some trash and raise the sect to a new level! Mater told me that it was time I took an active part in bringing the majestic legacy of our cultivation path to deserved glory. There is even a welcome gift waiting for me there... though it seems the gift you brought is not bad as well"

Nie You first was shouting with indignation, but gradually calmed down as he spoke of how highly his Master valued him to entrust the legacy of Lust Cultivation to him, and when he thought about the Foundation Building Realm beautiful woman supposedly waiting for him there, his gaze turned to Wu Long\'s women that followed them at a distance.

\'I see, so he was just playing him for information, no wonder...\'

Ye Ling\'s eyes flashed with recognition as she finally understood why Wu Long, who did not usually like prolonged testing-each-other-out combats, was feigning being suppressed and dragging the fight out. His earlier routine of rattling him into anger by playing on his superiority complex also now made more sense to her.

"You know... You were doing quite well, despite the fact that you were ogling at my women. But now it seems there would be nothing but a blood poodle left of you"

"..."

As Wu Long said this, silence descended on this place, with only the lava making sizzling and bubbling sounds. Soon, there was an awkward cough from behind Wu Long.

"Um... did you mean blood \'puddle\'?"

Hua Ziyan awkwardly said in a low voice but it was clearly heard by everyone since they all were cultivators with sharp senses.

"..."

For some time, Wu Long stood in silence as his expression and atmosphere did not change even a little.

"No, I meant a blood poodle"

He said with the same voice and straight face as a bubble of gas broke the surface of the lava nearby with a loud popping sound.
