Indestructible God King - Chapter 141.1
Chapter 141.1 The Thoughtful Wang Ke (1/2)
Blood was flowing like a river after a hundred palm strikes; everyone was speechless.
Even a fool would know by then that something was wrong with the blood. Have you ever seen anyone vomit enough blood to make a small river? Furthermore, Wang Ke still had a spring in his step after a hundred palm strikes; to make matters worse, he even broke through.
“Wang Ke, heh. Good, very good. Ha! You’re making fun of me, right?” Zi Bufan shot Wang Ke a threatening stare.
“How would I ever?” Wang Ke smiled helplessly, “Parlor Lord Zi, I’m sure you’re curious to know why an Innate Stage like me can still stand up and even advance my cultivation after a barrage of attacks, aren’t you? But you can’t blame me for this!”
“I can’t blame you?” Zi Bufan asked.
“Yeah, an Astral Infant senior injected some essence energy into my body a while back, saying that it would help me with cultivation… But I couldn’t convert the essence energy and make it my own!” Wang Ke explained, “She Tianba helped me just now. All those hits did the trick! That’s why a Golden Core warrior like She Tianba didn’t cause me any injuries. All the accumulated energy was resisting his attacks on my behalf! And now that energy was dissolved and helped me with the breakthrough!”
“Do you take me for a fool?” Zi Bufan asked with a chilling voice.
“I’m telling the truth. This is the reason! It must be your own bias if you don’t believe me!” Wang Ke said before turning to Zhu Hongyi for help, “Parlor Lord Zhu, please be the judge. You agreed to be a witness for me; she can’t go back on her word after I took a hundred strikes, can she?”
Zhu Hongyi’s face twitched in annoyance. I must have been blind to agree!
Wang Ke ran for cover next to Zhu Hongyi and explained further, “Oh right, a huge portion of the blood I spilled isn’t my own. Just think though; She Tianba is a Golden Core cultivator after all. He would have felt humiliated if I didn’t show any reaction when he struck me! I was just considering his feelings; to somehow let him feel he’s dealing retribution! I was caring for his psyche!”
She Tianba laid on the ground in frustration. You’re concerned about how I feel? To have me enjoy it? So I have to thank you? Damn it!
“Look, the hundred strikes didn’t feel too dry or boring because of my acting! I fulfilled my promise to Parlor Lord Zi!” Wang Ke said before continuing to persuade Zi Bufan, “See, Parlor Lord Zi, Parlor Lord Zhu is looking at you. He is our witness; you should at least show him some face, don’t you think? Parlor Lord Zhu will be in a difficult spot if you don’t keep your promise!”
Zi Bufan had an angry look on her face.
Wang Ke, can you tone down your shameless act? This is between you and me. Why do you keep dragging Zhu Hongyi into this? Was it me who put him in a difficult spot? It was obviously your doing!
“Wang Ke, you… You cheated! I’m going to kill you!” She Tianba roared suddenly. He squeezed out a last burst of energy and jumped at Wang Ke.
Too bad he was mostly spent, his limbs had no strength to pack a punch. He jumped at his nemesis merely because of sheer, overwhelming hatred. I hit you so many times. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were safely protected by that powerful senior’s energy stash? This is so humiliating! Damn it!
“Baaaaam!
Wang Ke smacked She Tianba’s head with the God King Seal. The poor fellow was too weak to avoid the attack in time; the seal unleashed a powerful wave of energy that sent him flying backward.
“Rumble!”
She Tianba rolled a few times on the ground before passing out.
“I’m talking with the Parlor Lord. You are just a new disciple speaking out of turn! How insolent!” Wang Ke said, staring at She Tianba.
The atmosphere of the entire place turned peculiar at that moment.
Wang Ke turned around and looked at Zi Bufan. “Parlor Lord Zi, you are an honorable person; I’m sure you will keep your promise. I have met your conditions, so please spare Zhang Li’er’s life. Thank you, Parlor Lord Zi!” Wang Ke said, courteously cupping his hands with a serious look.
Nearby—the captured Golden Crow Sect disciples looked at Wang Ke with disbelief.
“Was he faking all the time?” One of them gasped.
“What faking? He’s risking his life to rescue our Eldest apprentice-sister!”
“But, but… He’s completely uninjured!”
“Why is your mind so pedantic? Wang Ke used the right strategy; he saved our Eldest apprentice-sister while keeping himself alive. What’s wrong with that?”
“I thought he was suffering a lot!”
“Must he die for you to feel happy? Wang Ke dared to step forward and save our Eldest apprentice-sister. That’s what matters! Who else dared to do that?”
“Eldest apprentice-sister, you have good taste!”
“Yeah! Not only did he risk his life to protect our Eldest apprentice-sister, he is also wise beyond his years!”

The Golden Crow Sect’s disciples whispered among themselves; anything someone did would be correct when they were seen in a favorable light.
On the other side, Zi Bufan fixed her stare on Wang Ke.
Wang Ke anxiously signaled Zhu Hongyi with his eyes. Damn, can you say something? Are you mute? Didn’t you agree to be our witness? Are you going to back out now?
Zhu Hongyi wanted to say something but stopped himself. It’s really hard to say anything! Aren’t you seeing how Zi Bufan is fuming? It’s not that easy for me to speak. But most importantly, Wang Ke, you whipped the devil round the stump. I will owe her a favor if I speak on your behalf!
“Hahahaha, fine, fine. No wonder She Qingqing is willing to stay under your command in the Divine Dragon Branch! Wang Ke, oh, Wang Ke! You are more of a man than Zhu Hongyi!” Zi Bufan said.
The alluded leader’s face blackened. Why did you drag Qing’er into this again? Wang Ke is the one who made you angry. This has nothing to do with me!
“Thank you, Parlor Lord Zi, for showing mercy!” Wang Ke smiled, then went to fetch Zhang Li’er.
“What are you doing?” Zi Bufan asked, while glaring at him.
“Ah? Parlor Lord Zi, aren’t you going to hand her over to me? I was about to take her away so that she wouldn’t be an eyesore for you!” Wang Ke said.
“Humph, I only promised that I wouldn’t kill her. I didn’t say that you could take her away!” Zi Bufan clarified coldly.
“Thank you for not killing her, Parlor Lord Zi!” Wang Ke happily thanked her.
Zi Bufan’s face blackened in frustration. Damn it, this Wang Ke is sly indeed. He just made me admit that I wouldn’t kill Zhang Li’er?
“Wang Ke, heh, let’s put this matter about Zhang Li’er’s fate aside. Do you think this is over? Your Wang Clan has a tight hold on the Qing Capital. Humph, what else do you think I’m here for?” Zi Bufan said.
She had obviously gone there to kill Wang Ke and his whole clan!
But Wang Ke looked toward Zhu Hongyi, “Parlor Lord Zhu, you didn’t help me just now. Now is a good time to lend a hand, don’t you think? You promised me this. Or else, I will do without your help!”
Zhu Hongyi: “…………………………!”
“Oh? You knew I came here to get you? That’s why you asked Zhu Hongyi to be our mediator? To persuade me to stop?” Zi Bufan asked.
“That’s not it. I didn’t invite Parlor Lord Zhu; I asked someone else to act as mediator, but in the end Parlor Lord Zhu insisted on coming on that person’s behalf! He doesn’t want you to meet that person!” Wang Ke explained.
“Another person? Who?” Zi Bufan asked with surprise.
Who else in this entire Ten-thousand Great Mountains has the face to dissuade me from going after you?
Only Zhu Hongyi was angrily staring at Wang Ke. Bullsh*t! You asked Qing’er to come as your mediator? That would have turned into a life or death duel!
Zi Bufan will blow her top if she realizes it was She Qingqing!
I have no other choice but to resolve it by myself. Sigh!
