Witnessing this scene, Gu Qingfeng's smile gradually widened.
Talk about perfect timing—just when he needed a pillow, one came flying his way.
The next moment, the black lotus struck his body and shattered explosively.
Instantly, Gu Qingfeng was encased in a thick layer of black ice.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Fire Attribute +10,000 +10,000 +10,000 +......
Fire Attribute has reached its limit. Congratulations, Host—your Fire Spirit Body has advanced to a Fire God Body!
The Fire God Body—a sovereign among flames, capable of manipulating all fire in the world while also enhancing its destructive power.
Crack!
The black ice shattered, and Gu Qingfeng stepped out unharmed.
"Impossible!" The Fire Crow Taoist's face twisted in horror as he let out a frantic scream.
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng gave a sinister chuckle. "This is just the beginning. Watch closely."
He raised his right hand, fingers curling as if grasping the air.
"Flames, heed my call!"
At his command, the boundless black flames filling the space obeyed like divine decree, surging toward his palm in raging torrents of darkness.
The streams of black fire coalesced into a massive orb—a swirling void akin to a black hole.
This one was even larger than the one the Fire Crow Taoist had conjured earlier.
"Extreme Yang births Yin—Nether Yin Ghost Flame!"
The familiar incantation left Gu Qingfeng's lips.
A larger black lotus emerged from the abyss, drifting toward the Fire Crow Taoist.
The Fire Crow Taoist's soul nearly fled his body. Faced with mortal peril, he had no time to gawk. He knew all too well the lethality of the Nether Yin Ghost Flame—even a seventh-level Dragon Transformation cultivator would perish upon contact.
There was no blocking it—only dodging.
So, the Fire Crow Taoist dispelled his sealing array and turned to flee... only to slam straight into Gu Qingfeng's spatial barrier.
"Kekekeke... Weren’t you so bold earlier? Why run now?"
Gu Qingfeng controlled the black lotus, pursuing relentlessly. The Fire Crow Taoist had no breath left for words, desperately weaving through space in a frantic bid to escape.
Yet wherever the black lotus passed, everything froze. Endless black ice sealed off his evasion routes, shrinking his options further and further.
Finally—
The Fire Crow Taoist was cornered.
The black lotus loomed above him, its bone-chilling aura making his very soul feel as though it were freezing solid.
"No!!" The Fire Crow Taoist's eyes bulged with despair as he roared.
He channeled every ounce of his demonic energy, layering defenses before him—but nothing could halt the black lotus’s descent.
Just as it was about to consume him—
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out.
The black lotus shattered into nothingness.
"Want to live?" Gu Qingfeng stepped forward, looking down at the half-dead, trembling Fire Crow Taoist collapsed on the ground.
The Fire Crow Taoist froze for a moment before nodding frantically. "Yes!"
"Good. Get up and hit me."
The Fire Crow Taoist: "???"
Slap!
Gu Qingfeng backhanded him so hard his beak twisted sideways.
"Stand up. Use your full demonic power and hit me. Don’t make me repeat myself."
The Fire Crow Taoist seethed silently, too afraid to protest. He rose shakily, gathering his energy, still half-doubting Gu Qingfeng’s words.
Gu Qingfeng spread his arms, exposing his chest.
"Come on. Aim here."
Though suspicious, the Fire Crow Taoist saw no defenses—just an open invitation.
Hesitantly, he lashed out with a claw.
Mid-strike, he even stole glances at Gu Qingfeng's expression. But as the attack neared, his face twisted into vicious cruelty.
"Die!"
Boom!
The claw struck Gu Qingfeng’s chest dead-on.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +20,000.
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. Why hadn’t he advanced yet?
"Again."
But the Fire Crow Taoist didn’t move. He stared dumbfounded at his own claw—now bent like a twisted branch—then at Gu Qingfeng’s unblemished chest, not even a scratch left behind. His mind short-circuited.
Slap!
"I said AGAIN, you deaf bastard!"
This slap actually straightened his beak back into place.
Pain and humiliation drove him to let out a furious howl. Gathering his demonic energy once more, he struck with his other claw.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +20,000.
Slap!
"Again."
"AAAAAH!"
Boom!
Slap!
"AGAIN!"
......
After a dozen more brutal slaps, the Fire Crow Taoist’s face was no longer recognizable as a bird’s.
But now, his eyes held no anger—only abject terror.
A dozen full-powered attacks would have killed even a peak Dragon Transformation cultivator standing defenseless.
Yet this human remained completely unharmed!
And what about him?
His claws were shattered, his beak nearly knocked to the back of his skull.
Despite being a sixth-level Dragon Transformation demon, he was terrified. Truly terrified. This man was a monster—an indestructible monster!
For the first time in his life, he realized that hitting someone could be so excruciatingly painful.
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. "I can feel the threshold! Just a little more! Come on, hit me again!"
Hearing that bone-chilling laugh, the Fire Crow Taoist curled into a trembling ball.
"G-Great One... please, no more... If I keep hitting you, I’ll die! Spare me!"
Slap!
"Shut the hell up! One last hit—I’m stuck halfway, and it’s unbearable!"
The Fire Crow Taoist looked down at his broken body and nearly wept.
"Great One... I’m fractured everywhere. I can’t..."
Slap!
"Are you stupid?! Use your head!"
The Fire Crow Taoist’s face paled further. Headbutt him?! That would kill him!
He shook his head violently, resisting with everything he had.
"Are you doing it or not? If not, I’ll castrate you."
"...Fine! Fine, I’ll do it!" The Fire Crow Taoist whimpered.
Thud!
He rammed his head into Gu Qingfeng’s chest.
Crack!
His skull split, his neck snapped—and he collapsed, unconscious.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +10,000.
Congratulations, Host—Defense has reached its limit. Black Dragon Indestructible Body has advanced (Intermediate → Advanced).
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng laughed triumphantly. "Finally... FINALLY, I’ve advanced! My physical strength has reached the sixth level of Dragon Transformation!"
He glanced at the barely avian-shaped Fire Crow Taoist and kicked him. "Hey, stop faking. Wake up."
But the demon lay motionless, like a corpse.
Gu Qingfeng scowled. "Pathetic! First time seeing a demon knock itself out from hitting someone. Absolute trash!"
Cursing, he looted the Fire Crow Taoist’s body, retrieving a spatial ring. After wiping its imprint away, he rummaged inside and pulled out a healing pill.
Prying open the mangled beak, he dumped the entire bottle’s contents down the demon’s throat, then waited for him to wake up.
Although his physical body had reached the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation realm, it did not mean he was completely immune to the attacks of the Fire Crow Taoist—it merely reduced the damage significantly. Thus, there was still some scrap value left to exploit.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
