Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 478 It's done

He touched his chin seemingly in thought, while the old man narrowed his eyes.

"There's no use trying to bargain for your life, youngster!

Did you only now realize how foolish it was to come out here with such useless bravado?"

Do Bishui seemed to take Wu Long's words as a way to start a conversation with the intent to back out of fighting or bargain.

"Hahaha! I may be exhausted by that fight, but our difference is not so cheap to be covered with just that!

A wounded tiger is still deadlier than a healthy wolf!"

He grinned, 'realizing' the situation. In truth, his misunderstanding was quite understandable.

It could very well seem that Wu Long came out thinking that Do Bishui was too exhausted to fight, but by feeling the difference in their aura, seeing that the disparity of Great Realms was not so trivial to be overcome with just that got cold feet.

"Ah, not at all, I was just curious how you got here"

However, Wu Long just shrugged, causing the old man's glee at his 'naivety' to slightly subside, but another glint appeared in his eyes at his next words.

"Heh! I actually have you to thank for that!"

After Wu Long asked his question the old man suddenly became gleeful again, baring his teeth in a smile full of malice and for some reason gloating.

"Me?"

"Hahaha! Of course you! You have no idea how miserable you made my life! Huhu~"

Do Bishui's eyes reflecting Wu Long's face instantly filled with raging hatred and a slightly deranged look.

The whole time after Liu Zuming, the Vice Palace Master of the Yin Yang Unity Palace, was uprooted along with all of his schemes and supporters, Gu Zhen was extremely cold and distant with this old man, causing him to live in constant fear and under tremendous stress.

"Due to that, I had an idea to make up for my mistakes, and to personally oversee the plan carried out during the Winter Forest Hunt...

You must know about what happened in the canyon! But by now the Frozen Garden Palace must have been already taken over. Hahaha!"

The man seemed happy to break the news but seeing no surprise on Wu Long's face a light disappointment mixed into his gloating look.

"So you arrived earlier to check out the terrain and found the passage during the first night it was active? Spending a whole day and night here?"

"Exactly! Hahaha! I would have never imagined I would stumble upon this treasure trove!!!

And it is all thanks to you!!! Hahaha!"

Do Bishui's mood jumped up again as he seemed even more deranged, his laughter filled with confusing mixture of emotions.

"This precious land of opportunities is gifted to me and only me! Hahaha!

But then... as I was exploring this wondrous world I felt a disruption of the passage, and distant auras. I knew at that moment... that it must have been you... hehahaha!

The clever man who seemed to have infinite tricks in his sleeves! Hah! Of course you somehow knew about this world!

But that knowledge now turned against you! You came all the way here just to be cut down! It was as if you stuck out your neck for me to cut it off! How can I not be grateful to you?! Hehehehahaha!"

The erratic laughter grew more and more unhinged as the man seemed to be consumed by hatred and glee, drunk with all the luck he was suddenly graced with, both finding an unexpected treasures and even getting an opportunity for revenge.

"Hmm, I see"

Wu Long nodded with understanding, his curiosity mostly satisfied, but the man seemed to not be finished with rubbing it in.

"You get it? You gave me all this! You! With your own two hands! And your head on the platter to top it off! It was you!!! Ahahahaha!

There is no damn lecherous geezer to threaten war here, so it is completely safe to kill you! Gu Zhen is going to be overjoyed and not only forgive any mistakes, but even reward me!

So I can keep this Earth Flame, and when I gain enough power, I won't need that stuck up, arrogant and pretentious fuck! I'll be the master of the Azure Eagle Continent! Hahahaha!

And it is all because of you, none of this would be possible if you didn't cut that pathetic useless bitch Liu Zuming! Hehe- hehe-hehahahaha!!!"

His language slowly became more unrestrained, as he first refered to Zhao Xieren as 'damn lecherous geezer', then called Gu Zhen by name and then outward cursed him out.

Thousands of years of holding it in, groveling and kissing someone's ass seemingly exploding out of him as his ambition skyrocketed with all of the possibilities that the Earth Flame could give him.

His eyes were already seeing that scene he was talking about, and he could already taste the sweetness of trampling on those who berated or looked down on him.

"Oh, it's done"

Wu Long suddenly spoke, as the old man froze.

"Done? What are you-...?"

As he was trying to understand what this 'trapped mouse' was talking about, he suddenly froze again as his eyes turned to the side and then above where a great barrier of water finished covering them from the sides of the crater.

While he was rambling on and talking, Wu Long was using all of the water that filled the surroundings after the intense heat of the flames in the fight of Do Bishui and the Earth Flame to construct a giant dome of water.

And since there was no direct light of the sun, the preparation was barely noticeable if one only looked at Wu Long which this old man was doing from the very beginning.

"Y-you talked with me to do this?"

"Indeed. No matter how curious I was, I wouldn't waste time talking to you letting you replenish a bit of Spiritual Qi if I wasn't doing something as well"

Wu Long nodded, as a spear appeared in his hand. He knew that the shrewd old man also was not simply gloating but trying to at least restore some of his Spiritual Qi, though ultimately the amount he could restore was negligible.

"But... how?"

The old man could not comprehend what he was seeing. The 'trapped mouse' in front of him was clearly in 'Revolving Qi Realm' and in his mind there was no way he could somehow conceal his cultivation since Do Bishui was a Great Realm higher.

But he was manipulating water, and in proportions not even Water attribute cultivators in his own realm could match.
