Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 76: Spare Me, Uncle Yang

Wang Yi thought, ’Asking 5,000 Gold Coins for just a few things? Xiang Tianchen is quite the swindler.’

Yang Wanli’s eyes darted around. Not daring to disobey Wang Yi’s command, he quickly said, "Alright, please, you handle it!"

Controlling Prototype No. 1, Wang Yi looked at Xiang Tianchen and asked, "How much would you value a Purple Chaos Egg at?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianchen asked in astonishment, "Don’t tell me you actually have a Purple Chaos Egg here?"

"We have one!"

"If it’s real, I’ll offer... 2,000 Gold Coins!"

Wang Yi thought for a moment, then said, "It seems you’re in great need of Chaos Eggs... How about this: one Green Chaos Egg and one Purple Chaos Egg in exchange for everything you have here."

Xiang Tianchen crossed his arms. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Fine, we have a deal. I’ll take a small loss on this one. Consider it a way of making a new friend."

Hearing this, Wang Yi said nothing more and quickly went to retrieve the Chaos Eggs.

In his Chaos Warehouse, he had two Chaos Eggs that wouldn’t hatch even if he threw them away: the green Rebel Chaos Egg and the purple Bear Child Chaos Egg.

Wang Yi felt that trading these two Chaos Eggs with Xiang Tianchen was a perfectly suitable arrangement.

Judging by Xiang Tianchen’s reaction, he clearly wanted Chaos Eggs desperately. However, he only cared about their quality, not what might hatch from them. This suggested he had a special purpose for them.

The trade was completed quickly.

Xiang Tianchen accepted the two Chaos Eggs, his face beaming with delight.

’Heh heh, I actually managed to get a Purple Chaos Egg. This trip was well worth it. When I bring this back, Xing’Er will be thrilled! But this Yang Wanli is no ordinary man, and his territory is unusual too. He might become a rival to our Mengbai Island in the future. Knowing Xing’Er’s temperament, she’ll definitely try to find a way to get rid of him. I’d better do some scouting and bring some intel back for her.’

As his thoughts raced, Xiang Tianchen once again requested a tour of Eggshell Village.

Wang Yi saw right through him and secretly signaled Yang Wanli, who then coldly told him it was time to leave.

On the surface, Xiang Tianchen didn’t dare to drop the friendly act with Yang Wanli, so he cupped his hands in farewell. But he didn’t go far before quietly turning back.

’Just because he won’t let me look around, I’m supposed to give up? I’m a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If I investigate in secret, what can they possibly do to me?’

Xiang Tianchen smiled faintly, placed an Invisibility Talisman on himself, and his figure immediately vanished.

However, just as he was about to get close to Eggshell Village, the giant chicken, over six meters tall, blocked his path.

’Hmm, this is a Demon Beast. Can it actually detect me?’

Xiang Tianchen stared cautiously at Gegeda, trying to circle around it.

He couldn’t see any information on Gegeda and assumed it was a Demon Beast, which made him somewhat wary.

Gegeda kept its eyes fixed on Xiang Tianchen. Seeing him dare to press forward, it let out a cry of "A-DAA!" and charged straight at him. It then executed a sliding motion, its two wings like great sabers as they hacked low across the ground. It was shockingly using the ground-laying saber Martial Arts!

Xiang Tianchen was horrified. Forgetting all about his Invisibility, he hastily activated his Sword Control. He managed to dodge several of Gegeda’s rolling, ground-level chops and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when his vision went black. A Cyan Jade Talisman at his waist had suddenly shattered!

Xiang Tianchen was sent flying over ten meters. His body spun through the air before hitting the ground, where he rolled several times before coming to a stop.

"What happened? Ah! One of my Protective Talismans shattered!"

Greatly alarmed, Xiang Tianchen quickly checked himself over. Thanks to the Protective Talisman’s protection, he wasn’t seriously injured, but the clothes on his chest were torn to shreds. Where he had just been standing, deep claw marks scarred the ground.

He looked back at the Demon Beast chicken. It was lying on its side on the ground, one leg kicking idly at the sky, its eyes half-closed as if looking at him with contempt.

Xiang Tianchen didn’t realize that Gegeda had just used the Eighteen Nao, sending him flying with a single swipe of its claw. If not for the Protective Talisman, that single blow would have left him severely wounded, if not dead—despite being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The Eighteen Nao wasn’t some powerful Martial Arts technique, just a rustic brawling move. But when Gegeda used it, the power was astounding.

’This Demon Beast is too much to handle. I have to get out of here!’

Xiang Tianchen scrambled to his feet. Protective Talismans were rare; he only had eight in total, all hanging from his waist. He was already heartbroken over losing one, so how could he dare challenge Gegeda now?

He used Sword Control to fly away, but then changed direction, avoiding Gegeda as he tried to scout Eggshell Village once more!

But suddenly, a flash of silver light struck him in the chest.

With a CLANG, another Protective Talisman shattered.

Xiang Tianchen was horrified. He had no idea what had just attacked him, let alone who was responsible.

The next moment, there were two more CLANGS, and two more of Xiang Tianchen’s Protective Talismans shattered.

Terrified out of his wits, he no longer dared to hesitate and quickly fled using his Sword Control.

’Damn it, who’s attacking me? How can I, a mighty Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not even spot them?’

Xiang Tianchen swiped a hand over his Storage Waistband. Only four of the precious Protective Talismans were left. His heart ached at the loss.

However, the crisis wasn’t over. Xiang Tianchen hadn’t even flown a hundred meters when, with a sudden CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, the three Protective Talismans at his waist disintegrated into dust, leaving only a single one.

"Spare me! Yang Wanli—oh, no, Uncle Yang, spare me! Spare my worthless life! I’ll never dare to spy on your territory again!"

Xiang Tianchen screamed, but at that very moment, a golden light flashed around him. His Sword Control Technique had leveled up!

’My Sword Control Technique leveled up at a time like this! Heaven always leaves a path to survival!’

Xiang Tianchen felt as if he had broken through his limits. His Sword Control speed increased dramatically, and he vanished into the distance in an instant.

A moment later, on the spectator stand above the Octagonal Cage, Qin Mo appeared beside Wang Yi. He said in a low voice, "Just as you predicted, Master, the man returned and tried to sneak in. This old slave was useless and could only drive him away. I failed to take his life."

"Don’t blame yourself. He is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, after all."

Wang Yi waved his hand dismissively. At that same moment, the fight in the Octagonal Cage was about to begin.

Beast Taisen had been waiting for a long time. His opponent was now swaggering toward the Octagonal Cage.

It was none other than the Territory Guardian Beast, Gegeda!

Wang Yi had specifically summoned it for this.

Beast Taisen’s strength was unknown, so Wang Yi hadn’t sent Man Datou in. He wanted a guaranteed victory, and sending Gegeda was the safer bet.

If he wanted to see Man Datou fight Beast Taisen, he could wait until after Beast Taisen was recruited and then set up an exhibition match.

The battle began. The fight between Beast Taisen and Gegeda was fierce, but it ended just as quickly.

The difference in their weight class was simply too vast. It was a completely one-sided fight.

Gegeda was the kind of creature that could eat two tons in a single sitting. Combining its ground-laying saber and Eighteen Nao techniques, it sent Beast Taisen flying every which way.

Beast Taisen was powerful in his own right. He managed to endure nine of Gegeda’s heavy blows before being knocked out, and he even managed to make Gegeda stumble once. His physical fortitude and strength were already inhuman.

When Nangong Jin recruited Beast Taisen, one became four; the four Beast Taisens were numbered from "1" to "4".

Wang Yi used the Talent Assessment Machine on Beast Taisen. His comprehensive score was a staggering 91, and he possessed a special skill: [Beastly Heavy Fist].

[Beastly Heavy Fist: Beast Taisen possesses terrifying punching power. His heavy blows have an extremely high probability of stunning the target. This probability is not fixed. The higher the target’s physical fortitude compared to Beast Taisen’s, the lower the stun probability. The lower the target’s physical fortitude, the higher the probability.]

’Holy cow. A Beast Taisen with a passive stun ability. Now that’s what I call terrifying!’

Wang Yi imagined the scene of going to war with a pack of Beast Taisens and thought it would be quite thrilling.
