Chapter 248: Chapter 204: Soldier Immortal

Among the few people present, only Du Chengfeng realized something was amiss.

As an ordinary person, Yu Lao Er naturally couldn’t see it, not to mention he was some distance away, making it even more impossible for him to detect the problem at the bottom of the pit. As for Li Family Dalang... although he had Evil Qi within him and was just a step away from releasing it, in Du Chengfeng’s view, he was not much different from an ordinary person.

Only the non-human Gray-Black Fire Phoenix saw it. The Gray-Black Fire Phoenix was so scared that it retracted its neck, which instinctively put Du Chengfeng on guard, knowing he had fought against the Gray-Black Fire Phoenix before.

As exaggerated as it might sound, at least in Du Chengfeng’s own impression, this Gray-Black Fire Phoenix was pretty weak but only when facing him. When the opponent wasn’t him, this Gray-Black Fire Phoenix was still one of the top powerhouses in the world, a monster that could truly be called a True Immortal in the mortal world.

What kind of thing could frighten this undying and indestructible monster into shrinking its neck?

Very soon, Du Chengfeng saw it.

It truly was very soon.

That thing’s speed was so fast that even with Du Chengfeng’s inhuman reflexes, his sword-drawing speed was still half a beat slower.

When he swung his large knife, the shadow with greenish bronze rust had already pinned itself to the chest of Li Family Dalang beside him.

Immediately following, Li Family Dalang’s body floated into the air.

"Run!"

The long-lost sense of danger activated once again. Du Chengfeng grabbed Yu Lao Er from his back and ran without turning back.

Just as he left the spot, the ground cracked open.

Following that.

"Boom——"

A massive oppressive force tore the earth apart, extending a profound chasm dozens of feet long, even splitting a large fissure in the farmland at the foot of the distant mountain where Yu Lao Er was farming. The black fissures seemed ready to devour anyone.

And the cause of all this, the Li Family Dalang floating in the air, was still shaking his head.

"The strength is not enough."

Saying so, Li Family Dalang glanced at the gully on the ground.

"The precision is also not enough."

"What are you...?"

Throwing Yu Lao Er aside, Du Chengfeng cautiously raised his large knife.

Anyone with common sense could see that Li Family Dalang floating in the air was no longer the previous Li Family Dalang.

Something had occupied that body and overwritten the original consciousness of Li Family Dalang.

And the source of all this was...

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Family Dalang, with a Bronze Halberd nailed to his chest, turned his head in surprise.

"I’m just testing the body’s performance, not doing it on purpose... Brother, you’re also a Soldier Immortal, so there’s no need to make a fuss over this, right? Or did I steal the flesh puppet you prepared for yourself? Come on, brother, you attacked me earlier, and I didn’t say anything. It’s just a flesh puppet; I urgently need it now, and I’ll make sure to pay you back with a few better ones later."

"You say... what?"

Du Chengfeng frowned tightly.

He could roughly understand these words, but when put together, they didn’t make much sense to him—how did he end up becoming some Soldier Immortal? And what was this talk about a flesh puppet?

"...You don’t understand?"

Li Family Dalang, or rather, the Bronze Halberd controlling Li Family Dalang’s body, also frowned, though it seemed really unaccustomed to this body as even the simple act of frowning seemed to twist all the facial features together.

"Wait, you’re not a Yin person? Then who are you? Could it be that someone else later learned the method of becoming a Soldier Immortal?"

"Yin person?"

Du Chengfeng’s expression became even more confused.

"I don’t know. I was like this when I woke up... Why does that term sound so familiar? Can you tell me more?"

"Oh, so your soul is incomplete."

The expression on the Bronze Halberd relaxed.

"Looks like something went wrong during your Soldier Immortal process, but that’s nothing significant. As long as you succeeded in the process, it doesn’t matter if you lost the memories of your past life, it’s no big deal... But looking at you, brother, it seems you’ve been active for a while now, right? Come, come, come, tell your brother about any fun places, as long as there’s wine and meat."

"Oh oh oh, that I know very well."

Du Chengfeng displayed a gentle smile.

"But you’re so far away, it’s not a convenient way to talk. Come down here, let’s talk in detail."

"Did you even forget how to fly? Looks like your soul is pretty incomplete."

The Bronze Halberd controlling Li Family Dalang shook its head in mid-air and straightforwardly descended.

"It’s not a big deal. I’ll teach you later, but about the wine..."

"No problem at all."

Du Chengfeng’s smile became even gentler.

"Come, good brother, come over here. I know someone really good at brewing..."

"Of course, I could tell at a glance. Isn’t your knife maintained with alcohol?"

The Bronze Halberd on the ground wrapped an arm around Du Chengfeng’s shoulder.

"You got lucky; although something went wrong during your Soldier Immortal process, at least you got some good stuff... Anyway, where’s the wine?"

"The wine is..."

Du Chengfeng also wrapped his arm around the other’s shoulder.

"The wine is right..."

Clang——

The sharp blade was held tightly by a large hand, unable to advance any further.

"You!"

Li Family Dalang’s face twisted completely.
