Chapter 945: Today Shall Be the Date of Your Death
Translator: Lordbluefire
After Lu Cangqiong recorded the detailed information of the vine and drew its picture into an illustrated handbook, he chased after Sun Mo and the others.
Because of the existence of the gu-bug, he could depend on his sense of smell to track his target with no difficulty.
When Lu Cangqiong saw a bunch of corpses lying around, he didn’t feel surprised at all.
If Sun Mo couldn’t even kill a high-ranking great teacher, he wouldn’t be worthy of being recruited by his teacher.
“I just don’t know whether or not that brat was injured.”
Lu Cangqiong then arrived before the Life-Death Flower Sea. He saw the same thing as Sun Mo, a flower field of golden chrysanthemums.
His rationale and sixth sense told him that there was something wrong with this flower field, but he didn’t care about it.

Firstly, he felt that he was very strong. He could resolve any dangers no matter what he encountered. Also, he found the tracks of Sun Mo’s group.
Since Sun Mo dared to enter, why wouldn’t he?
Lastly, there must be a secret treasure existing in such an area. No matter what, Lu Cangqiong definitely wanted to try his luck.
But half an hour later, Lu Cangqiong started to feel depressed. After an hour later, his emotions turned vexed because he couldn’t find a way to solve the problem.
“I wouldn’t die here, right?”
Lu Cangqiong wasn’t afraid of death, but he truly had no wish to die in such a stupid manner. Hence, he was racking his brains for ideas.
…
Sun Mo led his students and exited. Not long later, he found Lu Cangqiong.
This fellow was like an idiot, spinning in circles around in the flower field. Also, the bruises on his body were spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
“How stupid!”
Ying Baiwu’s lips twitched.
“Don’t forget. If it wasn’t for our teacher, we would be the same as well.”
Tantai Yutang rolled his eyes.
“I may be stupid, but I have a very good teacher. So what’s wrong with me being a little proud of it?”
The iron-headed girl directly shot back.
“Shh!”
Li Ziqi indicated for everyone not to quarrel anymore. It wouldn’t be good if they alerted their enemies.
However, the truth proved that the little sunny egg was worrying too much. The Life-Death Flower Sea’s illusionscape couldn’t be resolved without using nectar.
“Can we prepare dinner now?”
Qin Yaoguang was joyful. “As for this fellow, we can just wait for him to drop dead suddenly!”
Very soon, a bonfire was started. A wild deer that was hunted by Ying Baiwu was being grilled after it was skinned and cleaned. Refined salt was sprinkled on it, and it was also brushed with honey. After a short while, an amazing fragrance started to permeate the air.
Another hour passed.
The meat was cooked. Hence, everyone started to eat heartily. But at this moment, Jiang Leng, who was responsible for monitoring Lu Cangqiong, returned with a report.
“That fellow just found the solution to break through the illusion. He is currently frantically eating the flowers.”
Swish~
Everyone immediately stopped chewing and looked at Sun Mo.
“Go, let’s take a look!”
Sun Mo took along a skewer of barbequed meat and walked toward the sea of flowers.
Lu Cangqiong at this moment was sitting at the edge of the sea of flowers. After swallowing an alchemy pill that could remove toxins, he was sitting cross-legged to recuperate from his injuries.
Given his perception, he had discovered that some people were spying on him nearby. However, he didn’t flee.
(I’m the right protector of the Green-robed Ancestor. Who would I be afraid of?)
So, when Sun Mo’s group came, Lu Cangqiong’s gaze was as cold as the edge of a blade. After that, a hint of puzzlement appeared.
“I have yet to ask you for your great name, sir.”
Sun Mo teased.
“Lu Cangqiong!”
Lu Cangqiong’s tone was filled with pride. But an instant later, he was angered to death by Sun Mo’s questioning tone.
“Is this fellow very famous?”
Sun Mo asked Mei Ziyu in a low voice.
“The Green-robed Ancestor is one of the five great Doyens of the Dark Dawn. This guy is a protector of the Green-robed Ancestor that is very capable in fighting.”
Mei Ziyu had a heavy look on her face.
Luckily, the expressions of the others here told Lu Cangqiong that they felt great pressure from hearing his name. This meant that his prestige was still intact. Hence, Lu Cangqiong’s emotions got much better.
“Sun Mo, my esteemed teacher regards you highly and hopes that you can join his great teacher circle. I wonder what do you think about it?”
Lu Cangqiong issued an invitation.
“Careful, he might be swindling you!”
Bai Xiqing reminded Sun Mo in a low voice.
“Noisy. When I, Lu Cangqiong, am speaking, when would it be your turn to interrupt?”
Lu Cangqiong frowned. He waved his hand as a bunch of black bugs whistled through the air. They resembled a dark cloud and gushed over, wanting to kill Bai Xiqing.
Lu Cangqiong suddenly attacked to kill. Other than being unhappy, he also wanted to kill someone to vent his emotions while also maintaining a sense of threat to let Sun Mo know that even if his current appearance was very miserable, he wasn’t someone Sun Mo and his group could look down upon.
Everyone acted like they were facing a strong enemy. But because Sun Mo didn’t retreat, no one did. The students were the same as well.
This scene caused Lu Cangqiong to involuntarily exclaim in surprise.
These students from the Central Province Academy were pretty courageous.
“Ah!”
Bai Xiqing cried out loudly. She pulled out her sword, but before she could take any steps to defend herself, Sun Mo already acted.
Sun Mo drew in a deep breath. His chest expanded and after that, he spat out a breath toward the swarm of bugs flying over.
Hu~
A burst of flame akin to torrential rain directly engulfed those bugs, turning them into ashes.
Clouds of black smoke rose in spirals, and the bugs disintegrated completely.
“What?”
Lu Cangqiong was frightened and shocked. What kind of cultivation art was this?
How impressive!
At Lu Cangqiong’s level, his judgment skill had been tempered to the max. With just a move from Sun Mo, he could judge that Sun Mo’s cultivation art was very powerful.
At the very least, from the current looks of things, it was a natural enemy that countered his bugs.
At this moment, even Sun Mo’s personal students who were familiar with him had dumbstruck looks on their faces, let alone Lu Cangqiong.
“Teacher, when did you learn to breathe fire?”
Lu Zhiruo blinked her eyes. “Did you learn this from those street performers? However, the range of your fire breathing is so far and the area of effect is so large!”
Pak!
Li Ziqi knocked her hand into the papaya girl’s head.
(What are you blindly talking about?)
Xianyu Wei and Mei Ziyu were directly stunned.
One must know that the two of them had personally seen a dragonbreath before.
“Teacher, that’s the Great Desolation…”
Xianyu Wei didn’t finish her words.
Pak!
Murong Mingyue covered her mouth.
Xianyu Wei felt a lingering fear. If she had completed that sentence, it would surely bring great trouble to her teacher.
Murong Mingyue stared at Sun Mo. Her expression was filled with astonishment, relief, and some self-mockery. (As expected, the final winner was you. How laughable. My uncle schemed for several decades and in the end, everything has benefited you.)
“Is your training speed not a little too quick?”
Mei Ziyu mumbled.
She knew that Sun Mo had managed to learn the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy after the trip there. But she didn’t expect that he would have trained it to such an extent in just three months.
Using dragonbreath…this was already an extremely high realm.
It was said that only a few people in the Dragon Subduing Academy were qualified to learn it, and they had to spend ten years or several decades before they could achieve this feat.
(Is your strength not too over-the-top? Do you know how our Jixia Learning Palace addresses people like you?)
(Cultivation freak!)
This meant that they were freaks in cultivation and could use a few days to master something that ordinary people had to train for several years to achieve.
“Could this be the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture?”
Lu Cangqiong’s horizons were very broad. But after he subconsciously asked this, he shook his head and smiled self-mockingly.
(My brain must be spoiled. What does Sun Mo have to rely on to be qualified to learn the ultimate divine art of the Dragon Subduing Academy? Where would he learn this from? This divine art will only be taught strictly to barbarians, so this should be some sort of rare flame-type cultivation art.)
“Teacher Sun, my esteemed teacher is sincerely inviting you. You have to grab hold of the opportunity. After all, in one’s life, one wouldn’t have many opportunities to change their fate.”
Lu Cangqiong tried to persuade Sun Mo.
“Sorry, I’m not close with the Green-robed Ancestor.”
Sun Mo shrugged. “Speaking of which. Do you want to surrender or do you want me to act?”
“Just with you guys?” Lu Cangqiong snorted in disdain. “Just come at me together!”
“No one is to act without my instructions!”
After Sun Mo warned his people, he lunged out at Lu Cangqiong.
“Brazen!”
Lu Cangqiong laughed malevolently and sent out a palm strike, wanting to kill Sun Mo with a single attack.
Swish~
Sun Mo pulled out his sword and brandished Evil Vanquisher.
Dotting Crimson Lip!
Crows Crying at Night!
Colors of Autumn!
Lu Cangqiong’s eyes narrowed. When experts acted, people could tell whether their moves had substances or not. This Sun Mo was so powerful.
Hua~ Hua~
Lu Cangqiong flicked his sleeves repeatedly and swept the longsword away. At the same time, numerous black dots flew toward Sun Mo.
These were gu-bugs.
Sun Mo narrowed his eyes.
Dragon might erupted forth.
Boom!
Bugs were a lifeform too, and they would also feel fear. Hence, they immediately cowered and fled in all directions, wanting to lengthen their distances from Sun Mo.
“What?”
Lu Cangqiong was badly shocked. (Why are my bugs ineffective?)
(Also, that burst of might…why does it seem like the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture?)
Even a major character like Lu Cangqiong felt his heart clenching with dread and wanted to retreat. But an instant later, he relied on his powerful will and immediately focused his mind, preparing to control those gu-bugs to attack again.
But how could Sun Mo give him a chance to do so?
Meteor Descent!
Pak! Pak! Pak!
The longsword pierced out as sparks flew toward Lu Cangqiong. After that, an explosion occurred.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Coconut-sized fireballs erupted around Lu Cangqiong and disrupted his vision, affecting his movements.
Myriad Sword Sound Unison!
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Spirit qi gushed forth from Evil Vanquisher, and it transformed into several hundreds of swords that shot out together, wanting to kill Lu Cangqiong.
RUMBLE!
A large number of black gu-bugs flew out of Lu Cangqiong’s sleeves, forming into a giant black shell that enveloped him completely.
Sun Mo drew in a deep breath.
Hu~
Dragonbreath Destroys the World.
The bugs were incinerated and started falling to the ground.
(It’s not finished yet!)
Sun Mo attacked again.
Sword Dragon Ridding the Armor!
BOOM!
A giant dragon formed from sword qi ruthlessly slammed into Lu Cangqiong’s body.
“T…too gorgeous!”
Bai Xiqing’s gaze was dazzled. Sun Mo’s attacks were extremely fierce.
Li Ruolan held the image-recording stone and kept recording. If it wasn’t for Mei Ziyu pulling her back, she actually wanted to go around and change the shooting angles.
She hated that she didn’t have a clone and had to miss out on such fantastic shots.
“Is this person a fake protector?”
In Li Ruolan’s excitement, she felt some regret.
This was because Sun Mo’s opponent was too weak. (If you don’t retaliate, how can you display Sun Mo’s awesomeness?)
Truthfully speaking, it wasn’t that Lu Cangqiong didn’t want to retaliate, but Sun Mo’s continued attacks were too sharp and intense. Hence, Lu Cangqiong could only give his utmost to defend passively.
“You can’t even win against me. If we all attacked together as per your suggestion earlier, wouldn’t you die even quicker?”
Sun Mo started to trash-talk, playing a psychological game.
At the first moment Sun Mo had seen this fellow, he had activated Divine Sight to view his data.
Potential value: Extremely high!
Cultivation Realm: Seventh-level of the Longevity Realm. But because he was poisoned, he only has 30% of his usual combat strength.
This man is proficient in using gu-bugs for battle.
Sun Mo felt confident enough to fight against someone like that.
“Damn, I was careless!”
Lu Cangqiong didn’t expect Sun Mo to be so powerful. Normally, he would be able to deal with Sun Mo. But today, he was poisoned.
One must know that he was poisoned by the toxins released by the Life-Death Flower. It was already very impressive that Lu Cangqiong could last up until now.
“While the green hills last, there would be wood to burn!”
Upon thinking of this, Lu Cangqiong no longer hesitated and directly displayed his ultimate skill.
Bug Swarm Soul Break!
Boom!
Lu Cangqiong’s entire body exploded and transformed into a huge ball of bugs that scattered and fled in all directions.
“Damn, what to do now?”
Sun Mo’s reaction was quick and he cast another dragonbreath. However, it was useless because the bugs were too scattered.
“Sun Mo, I will hold you accountable for this debt another day!”
Lu Cangqiong spoke ruthlessly and prepared to flee. But at this moment, an unexpected accident occurred.
