Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 913 - 520: Green Flower, Farewell!

Tears kept falling, snot kept flowing, vision blurred, consciousness and sight equally hazy. Li Banfeng never imagined that a sneeze could push someone to this extent.

Tang Sword said: "Gourd, give the master a sip of wine to clear his breath, maybe it’ll help!"

The Wine Gourd fed Li Banfeng a sip of wine, but after drinking it, the symptoms showed no sign of relief.

"This is the disease of the Greenwater Beggar, the wine of Elder Yao is ineffective." Even the Wine Gourd couldn’t think of a good solution.

To keep circling like this is not a solution. Greenwater Beggar is using the disease to restrain Li Banfeng’s movements, and he also has Martial Cultivation methods capable of ending Li Banfeng’s life.

The Gloves reminded him: "Master, retreat for now, let’s go home and hide for a while."

It’s not that easy to avoid Greenwater Beggar; his gaze never leaves Li Banfeng for a moment. If Li Banfeng were to pull out his keys now, he likely wouldn’t have a chance to open the door. Even if he luckily opened the door and returned home, the keys would certainly be taken by Green Flower.

Even temporarily setting aside the key issue, back in the Portable Residence, the disease of Green Flower could not be resolved.

In the midst of circling, Green Flower suddenly jumped in front of Li Banfeng, swung his clothes, and aimed at Li Banfeng’s head again.

This time, he couldn’t take it hard; Li Banfeng couldn’t use Benevolent and Righteous repeatedly in a short period. He flashed back to dodge when he suddenly sensed danger approaching from behind.

What’s behind him?

The Begging Bowl!

The Begging Bowl in Green Flower’s hand was gone.

This Begging Bowl was usually held by Green Flower’s hand and somehow circled behind Li Banfeng.

Although the function of the Begging Bowl was unknown, it was certainly a top Magical Treasure. Li Banfeng was stuck at a dilemma, not advancing nor retreating, while suppressing the urge to sneeze.

The Begging Bowl was about to collide with his occiput but suddenly vanished.

Green Flower frowned, he was angry.

Losing flesh he could face calmly, but losing the Bowl made him less rational.

He charged towards Li Banfeng, wanting to quickly end his life.

This was wrong; how could a Traveling Cultivator allow you to approach easily?

Li Banfeng easily dodged Green Flower.

Thud! Green Flower’s feet sank into a mire, unable to pull them out.

Where did the mire come from?

Li Banfeng took the opportunity to activate Passing Glance; Green Flower’s feet were trapped, his vision limited, unable to keep up with Li Banfeng’s movements, half of his cheek exploded.

The exploded flesh was burnt by the Wine Gourd and the Gloves. Li Banfeng wanted to take advantage to launch an attack, to gain more.

Green Flower shot out two strands of snot; using the stickiness to break free from the mire, he shouted: "He Jiaqing, you bastard, still without finishing the stolen Mud Cultivation Technique!"

He hovered in mid-air, dodging Li Banfeng, curled up his body, seeming to convulse from nausea.

"Wuwah~" Green Flower vomited a large patch of green liquid, which transformed into a swarm of green-headed flies in the air.

The flies circled for a moment, then rushed towards a pile of rubble.

He Jiaqing, hiding within the rubble, was forced to appear, trying to avoid the bites of the flies.

Earlier, he used Thief Cultivation techniques to steal Green Flower’s Begging Bowl.

Then he used the stolen Mud Cultivation Technique to place a mire beneath Green Flower.

Li Banfeng soared, using Short Step to get close to Green Flower, intending to use Close Doors and Shut Windows again.

Green Flower grabbed the largest pustules on his body, squeezing hard. The white-green pus sprayed out, resembling flower-skinned mosquitoes, flapping their wings, attacking Li Banfeng.

With Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing both entangled, Greenwater Beggar vomited a lump of flesh, rubbed it into his hair, and the flesh grew rapidly in the hair oil, turning his hair red.

He was creating a new disease locus, a more efficient disease locus.

With the Begging Bowl lost, Green Flower was uneasy; unwilling to endure fatigue, he sought a quick battle to end it.

Now using his hair as the disease locus’s nourishment, Green Flower only needed to shake his head to disperse the disease.

The urgency in Disease Cultivation lies in its subtlety.

These new disease loci were much finer than those Green Flower commonly used, infiltrating the airways then the skin. Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing were powerless to defend, and in no time, they could both die.

Green Flower was about to shake his head when he suddenly saw He Jiaqing returning, covered in flies.

Was he courting death?

The flies transformed from disease loci; he allowed himself to be bitten by the flies?

He Jiaqing indeed resigned to it.

Since already so diseased, what’s harm in another disease locus?

Greenwater Beggar swung his tattered clothes at He Jiaqing’s face.

He Jiaqing could have dodged, but a patch of fleshy buds suddenly grew on his face full of bandages.

This was Green Flower’s most common yet troublesome combat technique, triggering disease loci in a fight, causing inflicted opponents to suddenly fall ill.

With He Jiaqing’s cultivation level, if it had come earlier, he could forcefully suppress it with his physique.

But facing sudden onset at a life-and-death moment, He Jiaqing had no time to suppress, the wriggling flesh buds obstructed his view, and Green Flower’s tattered clothes struck him.

With a dull thud, He Jiaqing’s skull shattered, falling to the ground.

The tattered clothes wrapped He Jiaqing up like a Zongzi.

Green Flower picked up He Jiaqing and smashed him onto the ground, creating a deep pit.

A dagger emerged from He Jiaqing’s body, slashing an opening in the tattered clothes.

Greenwater Beggar stepped forward, took the dagger away, and stomped on He Jiaqing over a dozen times.

He Jiaqing curled his body, guarding vital spots, Green Flower raised the dagger, stabbing He Jiaqing over a dozen times. He was about to chop off He Jiaqing’s head when suddenly, from inside the tattered clothes, the Begging Bowl fell out.
