Chapter 80: A Fool, A Golden Rocket!
.....
"What a fool."
Lucifer looked up at the towering tower of spear energy looming above him. While doing so, the Sky Rank Sword to his side started to intensely vibrate. Then, with a breath of cold air, he said, "You are strong... But unfortunately, you are too stuck up your own ass. Getting so mad over something like not being in control of the situation. It's sad, really."
OOOM!
Lucifer's buildup of energy was nothing special; it was simple and consistent—sort of like a calm spring breeze blowing over a field of roses.
But as with all roses, they were often riddled with deadly thorns…
"There is no need to make a big show or even to pretend like your power is greater than it is. All one needs to do is get the attack out, and do so with the highest likelihood of overcoming your opponent."
WAAA!
Lucifer's sword aura violently fluctuated, reaching for a level beyond that of visibly powerful and covertly powerful.
"That is enough words for now. So, let us take this to the moon, for I wish to show you the stars."
His voice resonated with the essence of the world, causing slight ripples to spread throughout the sky.
"Do you truly think this little parlor trick is enough to compete against my attack-!?" Before Cardinal Ming could finish his snarky comment, his opponent blurred from view and appeared in front of him in an instant!
"!!!"
Being forced to pause his attack midway, Cardinal Ming attempted to speed up the descent of his blade at a different angle. But contrary to his expectations, Lucifer was no longer in front of him.
'Behind me!? But ho-!?'
His thoughts were interrupted by a pitch black sword shooting straight into his ass!
"Ahhh!!! Motherfucker!!!" He roared out in pain.
Half an instant—that was all Cardinal Ming needed in order to turn around and slice the sly bastard into a million different pieces. However, for Lucifer, he only needed a quarter of an instant to plunge his sword even further up the big golden bastard's asshole!
SHING!
"Say, how about we quite literally take this to the moon!? Here, I even prepared a personal rocket just for you!!"
Lucifer's maniacal voice reverberated in the surroundings. Then, with a screaming Cardinal on the pointy edge of his sword, Lucifer sprang up like a broken coil. Putting his full force into the hilt of the blade, he transmitted all of his Qi into injecting the rocket fuel!
[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to the 'Bronze' rank from the 'Copper' rank!]
[Ding! Your Battle Power has improved to the 'Early Nascent Soul Realm (Early)']
"Ahh, what perfect timing!"
Lucifer thanked Lady Luck for this one. Then, with even greater power, he infused every ounce of his energy into his man-made rocket!
"Let's take you to the fucking moon, you angel-looking bitch!!!"
"!!!"
Fear emerged from the depths of Cardinal Ming's irises as he was going to beg for mercy. But, for Lucifer, there was no such thing as sparing a lucrative loot bag.
Whether they be male, female, or a fucking donkey, he gave no shits what they had to say!
If they had loot to give, then they would be loot!
"Tell the King of Hell that I said hello! Oh, and also inform him that we have a loot date; it's rapidly approaching!"
"Nooo!! Please!!!"
Golden Cardinal Ming attempted to plead for his life while traveling upward at tens of thousands of meters per second.
However, once again, Lucifer was unable to find a fuck for which he could give. So, with a goth midget on his head and a sword up a loot bag's ass, he sent the first Golden Tincan to the moon!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless sonic booms repeatedly broke the sound barrier as Cardinal Ming was launched far faster than they were previously ascending!
As for Lucifer and Li Yan, well, the force from the attack sent them plummeting back toward the earth below.
In spite of their impending dooms, Lucifer treated it like nothing more than a pillow fall. With his hands behind his head and his feet crossed over one another, he started to speak to the goth girl, saying:
"Hey."
"Mhmm…"
"Whatcha doing back there…?"
"Eatching…"
"Oh…"
Lucifer wasn't even surprised anymore. After all, why would he expect that gluttonous girl to do anything but eat sh*t and get all that sh*t over his body!?
It would be far too presumptuous to ask her to stop!
He would never even dream of doing something like that! Oh, no, no! no!!
"Ooh~ la~ la~"
Lucifer sang himself a tune, trying his best to resist the urge to bart-simpson strangle the goth midget.
As this was happening, he heard a number of system notifications ring out inside his head.
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed 270 Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of the Light Nation. The reward is 210 CE²!]
[Ding! You have killed an Early Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator of the Light Nation. The reward is 230 CE²!]
"Ahh, so it seems like hundreds of weaklings can't even match up to a single slightly stronger loot bag. However, I do wonder how cultivation acquisition rates stack up."
Following this thought, Lucifer fell to the surface of the earth with a loud bang. After which, he patiently waited for the Cardinal's meat chunks to fall from the sky.
Luckily, he didn't need to wait long.
Plop! Plop!
He and Li Yan watched the bloody guts hit the ground, producing unusual sounds upon making contact with the surface.
Thereafter, Lucifer utilized Demon Assimilation and sucked up the essence of the Cardinal. Then, with a similar degree of efficiency, he did the same thing with the other corpses.
While this was happening, Li Gao, Li Chen, Zhao Huang, and 5 other Limit Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Experts were trembling in fear.
Watching the monster turn all their compatriots into dried-up husks was enough to have the five Limit Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators run away in fear!
"Ho? We can't have any loot bags escaping."
Like the voice of the reaper, it was followed by the swift deaths of all the runners...
