Rabbit Must Die
Chapter 380 - 375 Dilemma [Part 1]_1

Chapter 380: Chapter 375 Dilemma [Part 1]_1

Zhu Tianlin and Yang Wenhui promptly nodded and said, "Understood."

Lv Yue nodded, then turned to Qin Shou and said indifferently, "Rabbit, will you go back on your own, or do I need to personally capture you?"

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "Brother Lv, at this point, can we stop boasting?"

Lv Yue wasn’t angry, instead, he nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he stretched out a finger and pointed at Qin Shou!

Qin Shou felt a shiver in his heart and hurriedly struck the Headache Bell at Lv Yue!

Ding ding ding...

However, Qin Shou was shocked to find that even as he was almost breaking the Headache Bell, Lv Yue remained completely unmoved!

Qin Shou even began to suspect that Zhou Xin and Li Qi were really just putting on an act and that this thing had truly become useless!

Then he heard Lv Yue say indifferently, "I personally crafted this Headache Bell, and I understand its principles the best. You’re using it against me? Ridiculous."

While speaking, Lv Yue’s finger had already pointed out, and although it was a thousand meters away, the moment it was extended, it seemed to transcend space, arriving directly in front of Qin Shou!

Qin Shou was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he quickly threw a punch!

As a result, Qin Shou felt an immensely terrifying force coming at him, pain throbbing in his fist, and with a cry of alarm, he was sent flying out like an ordinary person hit by a train!

Qin Shou did a somersault in mid-air and shouted, "That hurts!"

Lv Yue, seeing that Qin Shou was unharmed under his single finger, also uttered a surprised sound, but he showed no sign of stopping, his finger continued to extend forward.

Qin Shou looked back, only to see Lv Yue’s finger following suit and pointing over!

Having learned from the previous encounter, Qin Shou did not dare to block again, and in a flash of inspiration, he tossed Zhou Xin in front of him as a human shield.

Surprisingly, Qin Shou discovered that when the finger pointed at Zhou Xin, it simply passed straight through and still headed directly for his own face!

Qin Shou was terrified, realizing that this time he had really encountered a formidable opponent! Unable to fight or provoke, fleeing was the only option!

But with the formation now unfolded, how could he run out of this starry space?

His teeth were sharp, but that was only effective against tangible cages and formations that he could see and touch. For such an intangible, boundless formation, he felt helpless with his teeth having no use.

Just as Lv Yue’s finger was about to touch Qin Shou’s head, the Eight Trigrams Furnace suddenly shouted, "Duck!"

Instinctively, Qin Shou ducked his head down!

Clang!

A crisp sound echoed!

Qin Shou just felt a bit of pain on his head and his body abruptly burst out, but this pain was different from the one just now. It was as if one was bone-deep while the other was just a brief pain, like a finger snap.

Qin Shou immediately rubbed the Eight Trigrams Furnace on top of his head and asked, "Cauldron, are you okay?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace chuckled and said, "Do you think everyone’s teeth are as sharp as yours? It’s just a fingertip, no worries!"

Qin Shou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lv Yue, surprised at the sight of the golden crown on Qin Shou’s head, frowned and said, "The Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Dao Ancestor? You rabbit, you actually stole it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou grew displeased and exclaimed, "What do you mean stole? The Dao Ancestor gave it to me! If you don’t believe me, I’ll give it to you—do you dare to take it?"

Lv Yue was tempted to nod and say, "I’ll take it!"

In the rabbit’s eyes, the Eight Trigrams Furnace might just be a soup pot, but to all the cultivators in the world, it is the top elixir and artifact refining cauldron! There’s hardly a second one to be found in the entire world!

If magic treasures used for fighting are rare, then the Eight Trigrams Furnace, capable of producing nurture spiritual treasures and top-grade pills, is like a mass production assembly line for treasures and pills!

The difference between the fish and the fishing rod!

Hence, the preciousness of the Eight Trigrams Furnace is absolute treasure in the eyes of those skilled in artifact and elixir refining!

And Lv Yue was precisely an expert in those arts!

In "The Legend of Deification," each time Lv Yue took action, he brought forth a multitude of magic treasures, some given by the Sect Hierarch of Jie Cult, and many he refined himself, including treasures like the Headache Bell. Similarly, when Zheng Lun was seriously injured and others could not cure him, Lv Yue’s single pill brought about an immediate recovery.

This demonstrates Lv Yue’s extraordinary skill in elixir and artifact refining.

Now, seeing the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Lv Yue would be lying if he said he didn’t want it.

But wanting it is one thing, daring to take it is another!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace!

The treasure used by the Dao Ancestor for elixir and artifact refining!

The karma associated with it... too great!

Lv Yue wasn’t sure if the Eight Trigrams Furnace was really gifted by the Dao Ancestor to the rabbit. If it were, even if the rabbit offered it to him, he wouldn’t dare to take it.

If it wasn’t, he would dare to take it even less.

At the same time, Lv Yue’s mind was racing. He had long heard that this rabbit was tied to the karma of a Saint. However, he had never imagined that it would be the karma of the first and foremost Saint, the Dao Ancestor!

At that thought, Lv Yue’s scalp tingled a little...

If that were the case, then messing with the rabbit would bring consequences far more serious than just a little trouble...

As Lv Yue was entangled in his dilemma, the rabbit slapped the Eight Trigrams Furnace on its head and cheerfully asked, "Old Cauldron, how did you get out?"

Hearing this, Lv Yue subconsciously looked up at the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was already a bit of a rascal, and after hanging out with the rabbit for so long, it had completely lost its integrity. Catching the rabbit’s glance, it understood and bellowed, "I was stolen out by Lv Yue!"

Upon hearing this, Lv Yue almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, retorting, "Stop slinging mud at me!"

Qin Shou boldly declared, "What’s the matter? You’re allowed to arbitrarily capture and kill people, but I’m not allowed to spit some blood on you? Listen up, Lv Yue, if you back off now, I’ll pretend this never happened. But if you keep being so stubborn, even if I can’t escape, Old Cauldron will report back on you, hmm hmm... the Road to the Netherworld won’t be lonely then..."

Lv Yue really felt a twinge of guilt. He knew it wasn’t easy to deceive a Saint, but similarly, a Saint’s thoughts were equally inscrutable.

If anyone said that a Saint was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, all fair and just and stuff...

Lv Yue figured they would just be asking for a resounding slap!

Lv Yue had witnessed the so-called ’extremely shameless and protective’ side of the Interpretation Religion’s followers, who were bullies that used group fights and sneak attacks. These underhanded tactics were as common as advertisements during the Great Investiture War—Dabao sees them every day!

Thinking about that war, almost all of the Jie Cult’s followers were either bullied or ganged up on. Was that fair or just?

Even the Immortal Killing Sword Array of the Tongtian Cult Master was broken by a group beating by a bunch of Saints.

And in all of this, Dao Ancestor Laozi was almost always involved!

Taking all this into account, if Laozi was the type to favor his own, it’s quite possible that he would indeed be reincarnating alongside the rabbit.

Having died once before, Lv Yue had let go of many things. So he said, "Rabbit, I am a Heavenly God. Now that the Overlord rules the Gouchen Upper Palace, I must follow his command."

As soon as Qin Shou heard Lv Yue trying to distance himself, he immediately shook his head and said, "Cut the crap. I don’t even know that Gouchen. You say it’s him, and it’s him? I don’t care; I’ve set my sights on you! Old Cauldron, remember what this guy looks like. If anything happens to me, go after him first!"

When Lv Yue heard this, steam was practically coming out of his nose, and his eyes bulged as he snapped, "Rabbit, don’t push me too far!"

Qin Shou put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and retorted, "You bullied me first, so what if I bully you back now?"

Lv Yue was left speechless and infuriated.

Just then, a light chuckle sounded, "Overlord, don’t be fooled by this rabbit. As far as I know, the Eight Trigrams Furnace was stolen by it from Doushuai Palace. At the time, Golden Spirit and Silver Spirit chased him all the way to the outside of the Imperial Garden."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou frowned and looked towards the voice. He saw a woman dressed in a jade green gown slowly approaching, with a longsword on her back. Her face was cold, her eyes sharp and clever, seeming to pierce through all of Qin Shou’s defenses in a glance.

Lv Yue asked, "Yuheng, is this true?"

The person who had just left the Wenqu Star Monarch was none other than Yuheng Star Monarch. Yuheng Star Monarch nodded and said, "You can take my word for it. If anything happens, just blame me."

Upon hearing this, Lv Yue laughed heartily, "How could I not believe the words of Yuheng Star Monarch? I believe!"

Having said that, Lv Yue stared at Qin Shou confidently and challenged, "Rabbit, try taking another finger from me!"

As he spoke, Lv Yue raised a finger and pointed it at Qin Shou!

This time, Qin Shou clearly felt that this finger had an extraordinary force, easily breaking through the void. Before the finger even reached him, his forehead was already throbbing painfully! Clearly, this time Lv Yue was serious!

Qin Shou was about to take down the Eight Trigrams Furnace to block the attack when, to his misfortune, he found he could not move at all!

Qin Shou tried to open his mouth, to transmit a message, but found he couldn’t do anything!

The space compressed around him, trapping his body, and under the constricted flow of qi, even his Primordial Spirit couldn’t move!

Qin Shou’s eyes widened in disbelief!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace didn’t know Qin Shou was in trouble, thinking that if it needed to assist, the rabbit would surely speak up or directly use it to block the calamity. Moreover, from its angle and feeling, it didn’t sense any difference between this attack and the previous one, so it wasn’t particularly worried.

As the finger drew closer, Qin Shou’s eyes grew wider and wider.

Lv Yue’s lips curled into a smile, confident that with one finger, he could knock out or disable the rabbit!

But just when Lv Yue was full of confidence, the rabbit suddenly gritted its teeth, thrust its head backward, opened its mouth wide, as if intending to catch the finger with its mouth!

Lv Yue’s eyebrows rose as he declared, "Seeking death!"

Yuheng Star Monarch cried out, "Don’t..."

But it was too late; the finger plunged into the rabbit’s mouth, and the rabbit’s eyes showed a hint of triumph as it snapped its jaws shut!

A crisp snap echoed!

Ah!

Lv Yue swept back his sleeve, holding his finger as he stepped back, and looked down to find his fingertip swollen like a carrot!

That was because he had condensed elemental energy into a pointed finger remotely; had he actually used his real finger, the thought alone caused Lv Yue to break out in a cold sweat.

Only then did Yuheng Star Monarch say, "This rabbit, born with a remarkable gift, has incredibly strong teeth. Don’t let it bite you. Behead it! Chop off its limbs!"
