Chapter 270 Seeking Merit 2

Chapter 134 Seven Intent Saint Spirit Art

Steadying his mind, Li Cheng颐 quickly recovered from his surprise and surveyed his surroundings.

There were quite a few of these *zijiaohua* (society garlic). At a glance, there were at least a dozen plants, each with dozens of small flowers, which could completely satisfy his initial need to absorb flower energy.

As long as he completed the initial formation of the Flower Scale Armor, he could then use other different types of similar flowers to evolve it!

"It really is true that when fortune comes, you can't stop it even if you try!"

Thinking of this, Li Cheng颐 suppressed the joy in his heart and quickly reached out to absorb the flower energy.

'Are you sure you want to designate the *zijiaohua* as the main flower for the Flower God position?' the Evil Flower asked.

'Yes!'

*Hiss...*

The moment he confirmed, a large amount of flower energy quickly followed Li Cheng頤's fingers and poured into the Evil Flower imprint.

And in the new grid, it formed a floral pattern belonging to the shape of the *zijiaohua*.

A faint purple light lit up on the back of his hand.

Li Cheng颐 moved his hands continuously, rapidly shifting between the small flowers.

Flower energy poured into his body continuously.

The completion of the Flower Scale Armor rapidly climbed from single digits to thirty, forty, fifty...

Time passed bit by bit.

One minute...

Two minutes...

*Pa.*

Finally, with only a few *zijiaohua* left, Li Cheng颐 stopped. The flower energy was full… It was done!

He glanced at the time, and without another word, he turned and ran.

*Chī!*

A shadow flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped onto the stone wall on the side of the spire, returning to the cliff of rooftops.

This was also the location of the Faceless Scholar's wooden house.

At this point, Li Cheng颐 belatedly realized that only the Faceless Scholar's residence on the entire mountain was a wooden house.

All other buildings were made of stone.

This was a bit strange.

But with only a little time left, he didn't dare delay and immediately took a stride, *ying shan* (shadow flash), and rushed into the wooden house.

*Chī!*

Just as he emerged from the *ying shan* state.

While waiting for the one-second cooldown.

A white-robed figure topped with a large number of heads was standing right in front of him.

This white-robed man's neck was like a large bunch of grapes. Except these grapes were all kinds of human heads.

The heads were old and young, male and female.

Faceless Scholar!!??

This disgusting and terrifying appearance had left a rather deep impression on Li Cheng颐, so he recognized it at a glance.

Unlike the last time he appeared, this time the heads on the Faceless Scholar's neck were not his own.

Instead, they were completely different, of all kinds.

In that fleeting second, Li Cheng颐 noticed that most of these heads had ancient hairstyles, and some of the young women's heads even had light makeup, with subtle eyeshadow at the corners of their eyes and green patterns on their foreheads.

'Could it be that this guy killed everyone on this mountain??'

Li Cheng颐's heart tightened.

He couldn't rule out that possibility.

Because Iselin had once told him about the Faceless Scholar's terror.

Not only could this guy not be killed, since all Black Sea creatures were like that, able to regenerate. The key was that the same attack damage would be ineffective against him the second time.

That was disgusting...

Within one second.

Li Cheng颐 and the Faceless Scholar faced each other, and for a moment, neither reacted.

When the cooldown passed.

"Ah!!!"

Li Cheng颐 was about to continue *ying shan* (shadow flash) and enter the bed to return to the Tight Grip.

Suddenly, a violent noise suddenly swept through the entire wooden house, engulfing him.

The violent noise seemed to cause the surrounding space to show a faint distortion.

The *ying shan* (shadow flash) he had just released flickered around him, then stopped in place.

It didn't succeed!?

"What's going on!?" Li Cheng颐's eyes widened.

There was only one minute left.

Although he didn't know what the Faceless Scholar had done to make his *ying shan* (shadow flash) ineffective, the most important thing now was to go back first!

He immediately walked directly, rushing towards the wooden bed in the room.

There were two wooden beds in the wooden house, one where he had emerged, and the other was a large bed with mosquito nets.

The Tight Grip was under the bed without mosquito nets.

At this moment, the wooden bed was behind the Faceless Scholar, as long as he bypassed him.

That was what Li Cheng颐 thought, but he was fast, and the Faceless Scholar was even faster!

"Ah!!!"

It suddenly howled.

It was clearly just one shout, but it sounded like hundreds of men, women, and children all shouting together.

Layers upon layers of complex shouts instantly covered and shook everything around.

A severe feeling of paralysis spread from Li Cheng颐's body, permeating his entire body.

*Hui shan* (radiant flash)!

In desperation, a burst of dazzling golden light suddenly erupted on Li Cheng颐's shoulder.

Countless golden beams bombarded the Faceless Scholar at close range.

The powerful impact and scorching heat forced it back two steps.

Yes, only two steps.

The high temperature wasn't even effective, only causing a wisp of white smoke to rise from its body. Even its clothes weren't torn.

Clearly, the Faceless Scholar had encountered this type of attack before. It was probably already immune.

Only the physical impact of *hui shan* (radiant flash) was somewhat useful.

But it was limited.

With *ying shan* (shadow flash) restricted, Li Cheng颐 took advantage of the gap when the opponent was knocked back two steps and quickly bypassed it from the left, rushing towards the bed.

Suddenly, a sound like chanting scriptures came from the Faceless Scholar's many heads.

Layers upon layers of complex sounds mixed together, constantly surging in the house.

It was clearly a sound, and the speed shouldn't be so fast, but Li Cheng颐 felt his whole body go numb the moment he touched the edge of the bed.

His whole body was stiffened again.

The sound seemed to have a strange magic, causing him to involuntarily stand up, turn his head, and look in the direction of the Faceless Scholar.

A strange idea arose in his mind.

'Actually, this place has beautiful scenery, quiet and silent, no one bothers me, I don't have to face danger all the time, face dead ends, staying here, isn't it good?'

As soon as this thought arose, Li Cheng颐 had the urge to stay here.

There were only fifteen seconds left.

Black mist had already begun to surge under the bed, obviously about to change.

Li Cheng颐 stood up and turned to walk towards the Faceless Scholar.

Seeing the change under the bed out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt an unspeakable anger rising within him.

This anger came inexplicably, but it seemed to radiate from his heart, spreading throughout his body.

*Jiemao feilian* (knot hair flying squirrel) Flower Scale Armor covered his whole body, and instantly, strands of black air spread out from him, towards the surroundings.

At this moment, the Faceless Scholar was reaching out, gently embracing Li Cheng颐's head. It seemed to want to take it off and put it on its own neck.

Just as its hands approached.

In an instant, Li Cheng颐 raised his head and opened his mouth.

A substantial, invisible shock burst out from his mouth.

Roar!!!

A roar like a wild bull instantly suppressed the countless noises made by the Faceless Scholar.

Li Cheng颐 grimaced and raised his hand to condense a golden sword.

A golden sword as wide and thick as a door slammed down on the Faceless Scholar's head.

Boom!!!

Hundreds of tons of terrifying force slammed down from above in that instant.

*Dāng!!*

The Faceless Scholar raised its hand to block the golden sword, the immense force clamping the sword tightly.

The destructive force of the physical impact was completely immune to it.

But the impact force brought about by the massive mass could not be offset.

The ground beneath its feet cracked with a *ka cha* sound, exploding with countless cracks.

Then, with a muffled bang, the half of the wooden house's floor completely collapsed.

The green sky light outside shone in, illuminating everything in pale green.

Amidst the rumbling sound.

The Faceless Scholar, along with the solid ground under its feet, slid down at an angle and slammed hard onto the copper roof below.

Li Cheng颐 threw away the golden sword, dispersed the Flower Scale Armor, turned around, and ducked.

In the last two seconds.

He barely rushed into the rolling black mist under the bed and disappeared.

*Chī.*

With a soft sound.

The black mist under the bed disappeared, and in the next second.

The Faceless Scholar leaped up into the air and returned to the bedside.

Looking at the empty wooden house, it raised its head and let out an angry roar.

Ah!!!

The eerie sound of countless people roaring together instantly spread throughout the mountain.

At this moment, the mountains with green stones glowing in the surrounding distance began to shine brightly.

Strands of green mist floated out from the surrounding mountains and flew into the central mountain.

All the green mist surrounded the central mountain, forming a semi-transparent giant cover, completely enveloping the area below.

The Faceless Scholar's roar was quickly covered by the giant cover, and could no longer penetrate it.

*

*

*Pēng.*

Li Cheng颐 poked his head out from under the bed, panting.

At the last moment, he almost didn't make it back. If he had been left there, constantly with that terrifying Faceless Scholar, who knew how long he could have lasted.

Waiting for Iselin to refresh that dead end again, maybe he would have already starved to death.

And that guy could become immune to the same move's damage, and couldn't die. In other words, sooner or later, it would become immune to all his moves.

If he had to stay with such a monster for a long time...

Li Cheng颐 felt that he hadn't lived long enough → lived long enough

The other side of the Tight Grip was Li Cheng颐's own bedroom.

After coming out, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the dead end environment around him, he simply sat down on the ground, waiting to leave the dead end.

Without Iselin's control, he could stay in the Tight Grip for a maximum of half an hour before leaving.

This was the time set by Iselin.

As the core of this dead end, she still had ways to send people in and out.

At this point, Li Cheng颐 had time to carefully examine the new Flower God main flower he had just obtained.

Before, when he discovered it was a flower language cultivation method, he chose it without saying a word, but... he hadn't even seen clearly what this cultivation method was for.

Now that he was free, he had time to check.

Pressing his hand on the Evil Flower's new grid, Li Cheng颐 closed his eyes and took a deep breath, checking the feedback information with a hint of anticipation.

'Zijiaohua (Mutated): Amaryllidaceae, genus Tulbaghia.'

The main flower information was skipped, and the focus was on the flower language cultivation method.

'Flower Language: Seven Intent Saint Spirit Art (Modified to fit the host's physique) (Note 1: This is the basic cultivation method of the Faceless Sword Sect, which can increase the intensity of consciousness, causing the consciousness body to undergo qualitative change, with the ultimate goal of cultivating into the Saint Spirit of Heaven. It belongs to a special practice of thought power, which can only slightly improve the body's lifespan and strength)'

'(Note 2: The cultivation method can be taught to others, and the main body can retrieve the relevant memories at any time, but it is not guaranteed that the compatibility will match when other individuals practice.)'

'(Note 3: This is a chain cultivation method, which can only be unlocked after each level is cultivated, and the subsequent content cannot be viewed in advance. Please be careful, many times, viewing the subsequent text of the cultivation method in advance may cause irreversible and huge damage.)'
