Longevity Hacker: When Every Curse Becomes a Blessing

Chapter 8 – Assassination! Insidious and cunning!

Ye Bufan only wanted to escape from the Heavenly Demon Sect and develop quietly.

If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to fight to the death with anyone.

"Zhou Wangchen is at the first level of Foundation Establishment, not very strong himself, but he has three Foundation Establishment puppets. Even those at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment are no match for him.

And he's insidious and cunning, with several fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators having died at his hands."

Lv Luo cautiously reminded him.

Although her master had a top-tier Dao Foundation, he had just stepped into it, making it difficult to contend with Zhou Wangchen.

She was now in the same boat as Ye Bufan; if anything happened to him, she would also suffer.

Ye Bufan nodded slightly, instructing Lv Luo to go out and gather information.

It wasn't long before Lv Luo returned with news.

Currently, in the Heavenly Demon Sect, many elders from the Six Great Peaks were watching Demon Sword Peak. If it weren't for the Peak Master of Demon Sword Peak stopping them, those big shots might have personally come to inspect the Supreme Foundation Establishment.

Not only the high-level members but also the core disciples and inner disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were very curious about this.

"Rumor has it that those old demons who have reached Golden Core Perfection and have not concerned themselves with worldly matters have also come out of seclusion."

Lv Luo's delicate face showed unease.

Those were old demons who had been famous in the Zhao Kingdom for hundreds of years.

The Supreme Dao Foundation was even more attractive than she had imagined.

"We must leave as soon as possible."

Ye Bufan felt a sense of urgency, but with Demon Sword Peak on lockdown, even ordinary disciples found it difficult to leave, let alone him, who wasn't even part of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

With no other choice, Ye Bufan could only practice the Demon Dragon Technique to enhance his strength.

This was tough on the demon snake.

Having just digested the essence blood, it had to start devouring again.

In the end, its body was so strained that it split open halfway.

***

Soon, night fell.

Ye Bufan put away the Demon Dragon Technique and began studying the Paper Binding Codex.

Although the paper dolls he made couldn't compare to puppets forged from gold and iron, they had great advantages in patrolling and concealment.

Ye Bufan had Lv Luo buy some spirit bamboo and paper made from beast hide, along with some cinnabar for drawing talismans.

These low-level materials weren't expensive and were abundant in the night market.

Soon, a paper doll was crafted.

Lifelike, resembling a real person.

"Master truly has extraordinary talent."

Lv Luo praised.

Ye Bufan's eyelid twitched. This paper doll was dumb and couldn't even move, yet it was considered extraordinary talent?

"For a first attempt, this is already quite good. Take it slow."

Ye Bufan continued to study the Paper Binding Codex, while Lv Luo quietly kept watch beside him.

Moonlight poured down, and the girl in the green dress occasionally turned to look at the elder's face, as if she could see the hidden true appearance, her cheeks occasionally flushing.

Who knows what she was thinking.

***

Time flew by, and it was soon deep into the night.

"Bitch! Bitch! You make me sick!"

On the courtyard wall, Zhou Wangchen quietly used an Array Fusion Talisman to sneak in. Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he saw Lv Luo sitting beside the old man.

Her gentle gaze was not feigned.

This made Zhou Wangchen furious.

During the day, he thought Lv Luo was using the old man as a furnace cauldron, but now, with this affectionate look, it was clear she truly fancied the old man.

"I'm a handsome young man, pursuing you for years, caring for you, and you showed no interest, yet you fancy an old man!"

Zhou Wangchen felt a massive blow to his heart and soul.

Bitch!

"Tonight, I must press you beneath me and let that old man witness it!"

His eyes were filled with hatred.

Previously, he was worried that the female prodigy Chu Zixue would trouble him because of this, but now he couldn't care less.

Zhou Wangchen slapped his storage bag, and three cold black puppets appeared.

One humanoid puppet and two resembling eagles.

"Go!"

He commanded the humanoid puppet and one eagle puppet to charge at Lv Luo like lightning.

Lv Luo was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, with considerable combat strength.

She was his primary target.

As for the old man in the Qi Refining stage, the last eagle puppet swooped down, aiming directly at the old man's legs.

Clearly intending to break his legs to vent his anger.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I can take down this bitch couple in ten breaths."

Zhou Wangchen suppressed his anger, scanning the area.

What he truly feared was the Heavenly Dao Foundation cultivator hiding somewhere.

"Crack!"

Without any surprises, the old man quietly reading under the tree was knocked over by the eagle, his legs bending at an unnatural angle.

But Lv Luo, being at the third level of Foundation Establishment, reacted swiftly.

A layer of mana shield quickly appeared around her.

"Clang!"

With a loud noise, the humanoid puppet's iron fists struck the shield, causing it to vibrate at high frequency and dim rapidly. The other eagle puppet followed up, piercing the shield on the spot.

Lv Luo's delicate face changed slightly, and she stuck a Gale Talisman on herself, narrowly avoiding the eagle's sharp beak.

"Zhou Wangchen! What do you want?!"

Lv Luo looked at Zhou Wangchen hidden in the corner, scolding him.

"What do I want? I've pursued you for years, rejected multiple times, and suffered countless ridicule from fellow disciples, yet now you fancy some old man! Why?!

Is the old man better than me in some way?

Bitch! No matter what, I'm going to have you tonight!"

Zhou Wangchen's face was ashen as a corpse, his gaze shamelessly scanning Lv Luo's curvaceous figure.

With that, he commanded the three puppets to launch a fierce attack on Lv Luo.

As for the old man who didn't know his place, he didn't even spare a glance.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Lv Luo formed hand seals to cast spells, Fireball Technique, Ice Spike Technique, constantly battling the puppets, struggling immensely.

All three puppets were at the peak of the third level of Foundation Establishment, difficult even for fourth-level cultivators to handle.

Moreover, her magical instruments had been taken away.

Before long, her delicate face turned pale, her mana greatly depleted, and her mana shield flickered, on the verge of breaking.

"Is that Heavenly Dao Foundation cultivator not coming out? Could he have already left?"

Zhou Wangchen's gaze swept back and forth, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Suddenly.

He sensed something was off.

He sharply looked at the old man under the tree, seemingly dead or alive.

Motionless.

Unlike a human.

The bizarrely twisted legs showed no signs of bleeding.

"Paper doll?!"

Zhou Wangchen, previously blinded by anger, hadn't looked closely, but now he saw clearly.

It was evident the other party had anticipated his arrival and deliberately set up a paper doll to deceive him.

"Are you looking for me?"

A cold voice sounded from behind, causing Zhou Wangchen's body to tremble violently. He instinctively turned and punched.

"Boom!"

The air exploded, creating a sonic boom.

With a thud, his fist struck the hard Green Smoke Shield, not only failing to break through, but Zhou Wangchen was also forced back by the shock.

"That old man? Foundation Establishment!"

Zhou Wangchen saw the aged face behind the Green Smoke Shield and instantly understood everything.

He couldn't believe it.

"How is it possible?! An old man achieving such a top-tier Dao Foundation?"

During the day, he had probed the old man's body, confirming his bone age was over a hundred, making it impossible to hide.

Yet now, it seemed utterly absurd.

"Swish!"

At that moment, a flying sword streaked through the air, aiming directly at Zhou Wangchen's brow.

"So it really is you!"

Sensing the mana fluctuation from the opponent was not from Qi Refining, Zhou Wangchen was both shocked and furious, his fists pounding heavily on the flying sword.

Such force, even a fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't withstand.

"No matter how you achieved such a Dao Foundation, you're only just stepping into it..."

"Clang!"

Before Zhou Wangchen could finish, his mountain-splitting punch was pierced through by the flying sword as if it were paper.

Its power far exceeded when Lv Luo wielded it.

The flying sword continued, directly nailing Zhou Wangchen's brow.

"Dead?"

Lv Luo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Simultaneously, she was somewhat shocked by Ye Bufan's strength. Just mastering the flying sword and already possessing such power was simply unbelievable.

To think, he was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment!

But just as she let her guard down, the three puppets that had been attacking her quickly retreated, leaping over the courtyard wall and swiftly fleeing outside.

"The one who died wasn't Zhou Wangchen; this should be the bronze-armored corpse he mentioned wanting to give you earlier."
