Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#799 - Qiu Songyun's Tongue

Qiu Songyun's eyes shone brightly as he watched Li Chengfeng leave, a lingering fear on his face.

He had originally planned to be the "mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," waiting for Li Chengfeng and Zhou Qingsheng to fight to the point of mutual exhaustion before launching a sneak attack.

However, he never expected that Li Chengfeng would so easily and decisively kill Zhou Qingsheng with overwhelming force.

He shook his head in disbelief, his heart filled with shock.

Just how strong was his opponent? At that moment, his heart was filled with awe.

No wonder Li Chengfeng had been able to come so far; he truly had some extraordinary skills.

He began to carefully analyze the methods Li Chengfeng had used, and the more he analyzed, the more a chill ran down his spine, and he felt a wave of fear.

Li Chengfeng's calculations were simply too powerful and intelligent; he almost always managed to stay ahead of everyone else, leaving his opponents with no way out.

Just like when dealing with Zhou Qingsheng, Li Chengfeng had casually unleashed a wave of foul energy and easily finished him off.

In fact, all those who entered the secret realm had made preparations, and almost everyone knew about Zhou Qingsheng's weakness.

However, there were probably very few who could make their opponent fall victim so defenselessly, as Li Chengfeng had done.

Thinking of this, he was thankful that he had kept a hidden spiritual talisman, which had not yet been discovered by either side.

Now that his original plan to launch a sneak attack had fallen through, he decided not to bother looking for any damn beads.

He decided to quietly hide away and wait for the secret realm to open again before leaving.

However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed, and a new idea came to him.

He took out the tongue bead from his body, a uniquely shaped bead resembling a tongue.

He carefully placed the tongue bead on a withered tree, then gritted his teeth and said, "You go look for it, I'll just find a place here to hide my aura and cultivate in seclusion."

This person was indeed cautious; after witnessing Li Chengfeng's formidable strength, he had completely given up the idea of competing with him for the beads.

However, as soon as he finished his preparations and turned around, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, because Li Chengfeng was standing there, watching him with great interest.

He gritted his teeth and said, trying to remain calm, "You discovered me long ago, why didn't you launch a sneak attack and kill me, but instead stood here watching me like a show? Are you insulting me?"

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said calmly, "It's not that I didn't want to launch a sneak attack, but my path is different from yours.

I need to observe the behavior of each of you in order to deeply understand the changes in your cultivation techniques.

Only in this way can I find the weaknesses of these techniques."

Qiu Songyun nodded after hearing Li Chengfeng's words and said, "Indeed, everyone's path is different; I truly underestimated you.

You actually have the idea of cultivating all the techniques, but I advise you to give up this idea.

It's not like no one has ever thought of this before; do you think only you are smart? Do you think that combining these thirteen techniques is the true Water Moon Sect technique?

Let me tell you, not just you, but hundreds of thousands of Water Moon Sect cultivators know this idea? But why hasn't anyone done it? Because it's impossible. Many predecessors have died on this path."

Li Chengfeng immediately understood that he must not underestimate anyone.

His idea had probably already been tested by countless people, but they had all ended in failure.

But he was not discouraged by this, but instead said with a smile, "Their failure does not mean that I will also fail.

I don't intend to cultivate according to the original version of their techniques, but to adapt them myself.

You could say it's taking the best and discarding the worst, creating a technique that belongs to me."

Qiu Songyun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after hearing Li Chengfeng's argument, "You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Do you know that once a technique is modified, it will be completely different, not to mention learning from each other, even its true meaning will be greatly skewed.

Do whatever you want, I've warned you.

The bead is on the tree, go get it yourself. I hope you don't force me; if you force me, a great battle between us might lead to both of us being injured, giving others an opportunity.

Isn't your real purpose to obtain these beads? Since you can get the beads, why do we need to fight and kill?"

As Qiu Songyun spoke, he began to be vigilant, performing hand seals and preparing to use his methods at any time.

The person in front of him was very strong; being able to come this far and obtain so many benefits was definitely not an ordinary feat.

Li Chengfeng said with a friendly smile, "What you said is indeed very reasonable; since I have already obtained the bead, there is indeed no need for us to fight to the death.

However, what I want is not just this bead; if you can give me another item, I can spare your life, what do you think?

Think about it carefully; if you are willing, I will turn around and leave, and I will not make things difficult for you. Fellow Daoist, what do you say?"

Qiu Songyun nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, as long as your request is not too excessive, I will agree to it.

I am the kind of person who dislikes fighting and killing the most; if we can resolve it peacefully, then let's resolve it peacefully."

Although he said this, a hint of ruthlessness was revealed in his eyes, obviously not completely believing Li Chengfeng's words.

Li Chengfeng seemed to see through his thoughts and continued, "You cultivate the tongue technique, training your tongue like a magic weapon; I have now collected many such tongues.

Do you know why I killed those people? It was to obtain parts of their bodies; I wanted to collect them and study them.

If you are willing to cut off your own tongue and give it to me, then I can spare your life.

Between your life and your tongue, choose one."

Qiu Songyun's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded and said, "Can you give me an hour to consider? Only one hour, and I will tell you my decision."

Li Chengfeng shook his head firmly and said, "No, you can do many things in an hour; I don't have that much patience.

I will only give you ten breaths of time; make your choice quickly, otherwise I will kill you.

I will also take your tongue, and your storage bag will belong to me.

But if you agree to give me your tongue, then I will only take the bead and your tongue, and you can keep most of your wealth, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Qiu Songyun gritted his teeth helplessly, and with a flash of his mouth, he actually cut off his own tongue.

This tongue was not large, only half a zhang long, and it flew towards Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng performed a hand seal and fixed the tongue in front of him.
