Chapter 59 – Florida Man Complains as Thieves Refuse to Attack Him
Bo Cai was a burly middle-aged cultivator. He had a messy beard and unkempt brown short hair. His strength stagnated at the nascent soul stage for decades, and he was worried about his future potential.
Like the others, he was attracted to the tribulation clouds. At first, he thought that a powerful expert attempted to break through. However, when he arrived, he overheard a conversation.
He heard someone speaking about pill tribulation.
‘If I remember correctly, a geezer said this was a pill tribulation. Someone made an immortal pill. I don’t know what it’s for, but I need those. Any free pill is necessary for my advancement!’
Although Bo Cai wished to steal Leo’s pills, he was afraid of his strength. He believed that Leo was a soul-formation cultivator, and he should be injured.
However, Leo’s performance didn’t indicate that he was injured. He seemed too healthy for someone who had transcended purple heaven tribulation. He had doubts.
.
Bo Cai was not the only one with the same thought. Ouyang Feng also wondered if Leo was really injured. The young master patted his robes and asked an old man behind him for advice.
“Senior Cheng, do you think that man is injured?”
Cheng Yuanzhi had a trimmed full beard, short hair, and brown skin. He was a soul formation cultivator, and he was an elder of the Death Sword Sect. Ouyang Feng was also his disciple.
As a soul formation cultivator, he could see through other cultivators’ hidden dao avatars. However, he couldn’t see through Leo’s Dao. Confused, Cheng Yuanzhi narrated his thoughts out loud.
“I can’t see through his strength. Rather, I can’t figure out what he is. He doesn’t have a dao avatar, but his aura is definitely a soul formation cultivator.”
“Are you sure? He seems strong,” Ouyang Feng doubted Leo was really a soul formation cultivator.
“His foundation must be very weak. He doesn’t have a dao avatar. I think he’s just pretending to be strong and healthy.”
“Should we continue besieging him? He will eat all the pills at this rate.”
“Please be patient, young master. Let the other guys jump that man first. We’ll claim the spoils of the victor. I think the Fatui Cult won’t leave him alone.”
“… If you say so.”
Ouyang Feng took a deep breath and crossed his hands behind his back. He glared at Leo, waiting for his opportunity.
.
Meanwhile, the people from the South all wore black robes. They also wore cone-shaped clothes as headwear. Fortunately, none of them had white clothes or Leo would have branded them as racists.
They came in a group of 20. Fifteen of them were at the nascent soul stage. Four were soul formation, and one was a soul transformation cultivator. However, after witnessing the death of the first group, they didn’t dare to make a move.
Everybody glanced at their squad leader, who was the soul transformation cultivator.
“Senior Situ. What do you think?”
Their leader was a part of the Situ Clan, Situ Luan. However, he was also an elder of the Fatui Cult. Like the other elders from the clan, he came here to steal the pills and capture Leo. Similar to Cheng Yuanzhi, the Situ Elder observed Leo, but he couldn’t find his dao avatar.
Still, as someone who had gone through purple heaven tribulation, he believed that Leo wasn’t so simple. He raised his hand, warning his men not to move recklessly.
“That man is not a simple alchemist. I’m afraid he might be a soul transformation cultivator or a quasi-immortal. I don’t think it’s possible to kill him.”
“Why? Isn’t he injured or in bad shape after the tribulation? Those were purple lightning bolts.”
“Then, let me ask you this,” Situ Luan snorted. “If someone went through a heavenly tribulation and looked fine, which was stronger, Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Bolts or that person?”
The Fatui Cult’s members stopped talking. They groaned and glared at Leo.
“Should we abort the mission?”
Situ Luan looked around. He saw a dozen soul formation cultivators and a couple soul transformation cultivators hiding in the crowd. He sneered, “No. We’ll poke that alchemist from a distance and bait the others to take action. After they kill each other, we’ll kill the guy with the pills.”
The cultists nodded. They pulled out talismans, which Situ Luan had supplied them. They threw the talismans into the air, and they moved by themselves, forming a wall array.
100 talisman papers emitted metal essence, and it gathered Qi from the surroundings. An energy ball was formed.
Situ Luan’s underlings laughed, “I doubt he can survive the killing array! This formation can replicate heavenly tribulation lightning, and we can control it!”
“That’s right. We can create a lightning bolt stronger than purple heavenly tribulation! Even if he can survive the ordeal, he won’t survive this!”
Situ Luan frowned and shook his head. He was the creator of these talismans, so he knew their power well.
‘It won’t be enough to kill him, but it should be able to force the others to move.’
Situ Luan waved his hands and controlled the energy ball. Then, he pointed at Leo.
“Go!”
.
.
Leo blankly stared at the crowd, waiting for the next group of thieves to attack him. He had an eye on the Fatui Cult’s people and Ouyang Feng’s group as their voices were the loudest.
However, after the death of the first group, nobody made a move. They looked at each other as if they were in a standoff.
Seeing how the people hesitated to make a move, Leo kept eating the pills. While he was at it, he thought of a way to trigger or troll the spectators. He came up with an idea.
Leo ignored the crowd and entered his store. He went to his bedroom and grabbed the box of elixir grain pills. Then, he carried it out and exited the store through the front door.
Standing in front of the store, Leo ate the 20th immortal pill. There were 10 left, but Leo didn’t care. He shouted.
“10 immortal pills left! If you don’t do anything, I’ll eat everything!”
The crowd glared at Leo with bloodshot eyes, yet nobody made the first move. They waited for the others to act first.
Seeing how cowardly they were, Leo snorted. He tossed three more pills into his mouth.
“…”
The observers hesitated. They glanced at the Fatui cultists, who were preparing an attack.
RUMBLE
The Killing Formation was ready. It formed a large purple energy ball.
“GO!” Shouted Situ Luan.
BANG
The energy ball transformed into a streak of light. It fell down and hit Leo and sent an electric current throughout his body.
However, as Leo was holding immortal pills and grain pills, the lightning bolt’s energy got through the items too.
POP
POP
The pills in the box and the remaining immortal pills turned into dust. Leo silently watched everything disintegrate with a blank look.
“…”
Situ Luan and the crowd were also surprised. They didn’t expect the array to destroy the goodies. One of the groups clicked their tongues and shouted.
“Tsk. This is pointless. Let’s leave.”
“No point staying. Consider yourself lucky.”
“Hmm! Be grateful that this father allows you to live another day.”
As they turned around, the destroyed pills emitted rainbow aura energy and reacted to the lightning bolt. The talisman array of Situ Luan also resonated with the energy.
“Huh?”
“What the?”
The talismans broke the formation and flew toward the rainbow energy.
Leo quietly stared at the torrent of wind, which slowly condensed into a mini black hole in front of him. He frowned and took several steps back.
DING
While Leo was wary of the distorted space in front of him, the shop domain system warned him.
<Warning! A rift has occurred in your shop domain!>
“A rift?”
The talismans got sucked into the warped space. They were pulled and lengthened before they sank into nothingness.
RUMBLE
The suction force got stronger. It started pulling everything in the surroundings into the rift.
Leo turned around and shut the store’s front door. He then looked at the store’s front windows, worrying that the windows might not last against the force.
Fortunately, the building emitted faint light, producing a thin barrier to resist the force. Every item inside was safe. The granary, warehouse, alchemy workshops, and farms were protected.
RUMBLE
The rift expanded, and the vacuum force got more severe. Leo stomped his feet, planting them firmly on the ground. However, he still felt that he was slowly pulled toward the small black hole.
‘What the hell did that stupid lightning do?!’
Leo was annoyed and frustrated. He activated the shop domain system and ordered it to harvest the lifespan of the assailants earlier.
DING
.
.
Situ Luan observed Leo from above. He sneered at him, who seemed flustered because of the lightning bolt earlier. Although they accidentally destroyed the immortal pills, their attack served their purposes.
“He’s riling up. I think it affects him somehow,” Situ Luan remarked.
His subordinates agreed, “Yes, senior. No one can take that killing array and remain calm. Its destructive force is stronger than the purple lightning bolts!”
“Indeed. It’s unfortunate that we destroyed the pills, but we manage to filter out the crowd. The greedy guys are going to leave, and we can easily capture him.”
The Fatui cultists smirked, waiting for Leo to succumb to the pain of purple lightning.
DING
Suddenly, a strange semitransparent screen appeared before them, showing their lifespan status.
