#1063 - Capture of Guan He
Indeed, after losing the support of that mysterious power, the Immortal Binding Rope was like a shell that had been stripped of its soul, becoming confused and losing its original sense of direction.
This talisman, as a precious treasure for one-time use, its value lies in its brief but powerful binding force.
Once activated, it is as brilliant and short-lived as fireworks, then vanishes into nothingness.
Li Chengfeng, relying on his unfathomable 'Drawing from the Source' cultivation method, forcibly extracted a full thirty percent of the power from the Immortal Binding Rope.
This immense power was enough to turn the Immortal Binding Rope, which should have easily subdued its opponent, into a wandering soul lost in the wilderness, stumbling around but never finding its way home.
Li Chengfeng's laughter echoed in the vast expanse of the heavens and earth, filled with triumph and joy.
"It truly is a rare treasure; the methods of a Tribulation Transcending stage expert are indeed extraordinary.
This talisman has also provided me with some valuable insights."
Having said that, Li Chengfeng gently pressed down with his five fingers, as if triggering the most subtle mechanism in the world.
The Five Elements Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Technique surged forth from his fingertips like the dawn breaking; now, his use of this technique was effortless and unrestrained, reaching the highest level of perfection.
The Immortal Binding Rope appeared helpless and desperate in the face of this sudden seal.
At first, it tried to struggle, to jump, attempting to break free from these invisible shackles.
But the more it resisted, the stronger the power sealing it became, as if mocking its futile efforts.
The mystery of the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Technique lies in its ability not only to seal the opponent but also to extract their power for one's own use.
With a wave of Li Chengfeng's hand, the thirty percent of Chaos power that had been extracted transformed into a stream of light.
It went straight towards Guan He, like a cheetah hunting its prey, swift and deadly.
Guan He's expression changed drastically in the face of this sudden turn of events.
Although Guan He had a powerful background and means, he had no choice but to go all out to deal with it at this moment.
The value and power of this talisman were originally thought to be enough to easily capture Li Chengfeng, but he never expected it to end up in such a state.
Just as Guan He was panicking, Li Chengfeng returned the power of the Immortal Binding Rope, like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the sky and striking his vital point.
Guan He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body; he hurriedly used a secret technique, his body spinning rapidly like a top, trying to avoid the pursuit of the Immortal Binding Rope in this way.
Even though the Immortal Binding Rope had lost seventy percent of its power, it was still more than enough to deal with this Guan He.
After all, when the Tribulation Transcending stage old monster refined this talisman, he had put all his effort into it, almost integrating all the power of the Immortal Binding Rope into it.
Li Chengfeng's ability to calculate and his methods are unmatched in the world.
Even a strong person like Li Chengfeng did not dare to underestimate it.
At this moment, the remaining thirty percent of the Immortal Binding Rope's power, although seemingly insignificant.
But in the absence of Li Chengfeng's Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Technique and 'Drawing from the Source', it would be enough to tie his hands.
Guan He dodged left and right under the pursuit of the Immortal Binding Rope, but in the end, he was still firmly bound.
Guan He was so angry that his face turned livid, and he almost vomited blood.
"Li Chengfeng, you dog thief, you shameless bastard, using my Immortal Binding Rope to bind me, what kind of hero are you?
If you have the ability, release me, and we'll fight three hundred rounds!"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and sealed Guan He into the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation with a wave of his hand.
Li Chengfeng once again used the Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Technique, and a sphere shimmering with a mysterious light tightly enveloped Guan He.
Li Chengfeng looked at Guan He with a smile.
"I'll deal with you later; there are still some things about the Spirit Realm that I need to ask you.
I didn't expect so many people in the Spirit Realm to want to capture me, Li Chengfeng; I must make full preparations.
Otherwise, wouldn't I be schemed against by you bunch of villains?"
This scene not only left everyone present dumbfounded, but even the Demon Realm woman, Zhong Yuanyuan, felt unbelievable.
She originally thought that Li Chengfeng had fallen into a desperate situation and would definitely be trapped by the Immortal Binding Rope.
But she never expected Li Chengfeng to have such means, forcibly reversing the situation.
Zhong Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat; although she was confident in her strength and background, she was not stupid.
One can doubt Zhong Yuanyuan's character, but one must never doubt her wisdom and strength.
The Demon Realm woman, Zhong Yuanyuan, feigned composure and chuckled.
She cupped her fist.
"Fellow Daoist Li, hahaha, actually, I was just joking with you; don't take it seriously.
This Human Realm is indeed not suitable for my cultivation; I should return to the Demon Realm.
Then I'll take my leave."
Li Chengfeng smiled and kicked Guan He.
"Since you've come, why bother to leave in such a hurry?"
"Don't force me; I have the treasure bestowed upon me by the Great Demon Lord."
As she spoke, a black lotus flower appeared in Zhong Yuanyuan's hand again.
This lotus flower seemed to be stained with endless demonic energy, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
Zhong Yuanyuan held the black lotus flower, which exuded a deep aura, in her hand, looking at Li Chengfeng with a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
She waved it slowly.
"How about it? You let me leave, and I promise not to attack you; let's be like well water and river water, each minding our own business."
Li Chengfeng's gaze fell on the strange treasure; this treasure, which seemed like an ordinary lotus flower.
Contained within it was a special flame that was difficult to describe.
These flames were formless and intangible, erratic, but Li Chengfeng, as an expert in cultivating the Dao Rhythm of Illusory Fire.
Saw through its essence at a glance—this was a type of Illusory Fire.
Illusory Fire is transformed from various emotions and obsessions in the world, such as manic energy.
Flames of anger, zodiacal flames of fury, and the most tender and lingering lustful flames, are all its forms.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng already understood in his heart that what was hidden in this black lotus flower was the most soul-stirring lustful fire.
Li Chengfeng's mind could not help but conjure up the Demon Realm old monster mentioned by the Demon Realm woman, who was imprisoned by him in Five Elements Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing Formation.
Presumably, this person was the one who used this lustful fire method.
For ordinary people, this lustful fire is undoubtedly a catastrophe, enough to make people fall into the endless sea of desire, unable to extricate themselves.
However, for Li Chengfeng, this was just a superficial aspect of the Dao of Illusory Fire; he had already discerned the flaws and mysteries within it.
Li Chengfeng shook his head gently, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that the powerful figure in your Demon Realm was also merciless when scheming against me.
He even used this Black Lotus of Lustful Fire; little did he know that this material and treasure are exactly what I have been seeking.
Since you have taken the initiative to deliver it to my door, then so be it; you can return to the Demon Realm, but you must leave this treasure behind, and I will let bygones be bygones and spare your life.
If not, humph, I want both the person and the treasure."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Realm woman, Zhong Yuanyuan, suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face, and then angrily said.
"Bah, you really don't know what's good for you; you take an inch when given a foot.
Alright, since you are so ungrateful, then let you taste the power of this Black Lotus!"
