As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

"The Ram Horn Sky-breaking Hammer, just so-so..."

Blocked it!

Shangguan Zhengheng’s heart was filled with wild joy.

Li Qingshan’s Ram Horn Hammer was famously powerful in the Mansion City.

It had claimed the lives of many formidable adversaries, and now... he actually managed to block it with his own body!

His body could almost be called a Cursed Copper Corpse, only a hair’s breadth away from initial success. Although lacking that final step, it seemed not to have a significant impact.

Li Qingshan...

Can no longer kill him!

"Hahahaha, the Ram Horn Sky-breaking Hammer, nothing but a big name with no substance!"

Shangguan Zhengheng burst into laughter and then, without the slightest hesitation, turned and fled.

He escaped towards the direction of the Shangguan Family.

He had no intention of fighting Li Qingshan to the death, after all, above him was a True God Phase Devine Symbol Cultivator obstructed by the elder’s Divine Likeness Wood Carving.

The Divine Likeness Wood Carving, even though it was the elder’s own divine incarnation, couldn’t obstruct him for long!

Running away was the most correct decision.

Even if the practice of the Corpse Curse Technique was exposed, with the elder’s maneuvers, at worst, he would relinquish the Family Head position and leave the Golden Light Prefecture.

What could Li Qingshan do to him then?

As a powerful figure of the Golden Light Prefecture City, he possessed the authority he needed. Even if Li Qingshan had evidence of his crimes, so what?

If evidence alone could doom him, there wouldn’t be so many wrongful cases in the world!

Although he did not know how Li Qingshan came to find out that he practiced the Corpse Curse Technique and called a Divine Minister to kill him, as long as he could escape, there was a chance!

Li Qingshan naturally did not wish to let Shangguan Zhengheng escape. He was well aware that if Shangguan Zhengheng were to survive, given the relations between the Five Great Clans and the City Lord’s Mansion, it would be difficult to prosecute Shangguan Zhengheng.

It would not be so easy to kill him next time!

"Stay here!"

Li Qingshan roared furiously, as countless thunderbolts intertwined around him!

Fierce thunder glared, the Ram Horn Slay Evil!

Thump—!

Shangguan Zhengheng was once again sent flying by the strike, creating a splash and dragging white foam across the surface of the river.

However, Shangguan Zhengheng coughed up a little blood, his eyes gleaming with increasing excitement: "Li Qingshan... you can’t kill me now!"

"You’re not yet a Divine Minister; I’ve become a Cursed Copper Corpse, and you can’t beat me to death anymore! Hahahahaha!"

Li Qingshan remained silent.

His physical body trembled, the sinews and bones quivering, while three furious flood dragons roared forth. His martial expertise, the Eight Flood Dragons Overturning the Rivers!

His True Qi boiled and surged, rolling wave-like, almost like a curtain rising several meters high!

Grasping the Ram Horn Sky-breaking Hammer, he hammered down again!

If one hammer blow doesn’t break it, then two, three...

Sooner or later, I’ll smash you to pieces!

...

...

Whoosh—!

The river was torn apart.

The battle on the other side had erupted almost in a flash, bursting forth with earth-shaking momentum.

But the crossbow arrow that Shangguan Zhengheng initially threw, under almost everyone’s neglect, accelerated horrifically, shooting towards the speedboat-like small boat!

On the small boat, the girl wearing a squirrel mask frantically activated Divine Talismans, spurring on the boat’s speed!

However, as an Illusory Phase Cultivator who had also become a disciple of the Corpse God Cult with a Cursed Copper Corpse, Shangguan Zhengheng possessed overpowering, unrivaled strength. The crossbow arrow he threw had a velocity that even rivaled that of her Divine Talisman Crossbow shot.

The sound of the waves was brilliantly clear, leaving a white trail on the river.

A dark shadow, like a black lightning tearing through the river, its sound thunderous!

Straight on, piercing through!

"I’m going to die!"

Shangguan Qinghong, under the squirrel mask, turned deathly pale, a look of despair emerging in her eyes.

Indeed...

Is it still not enough?

She made numerous plans to assassinate Shangguan Zhengheng.

Although Shangguan Zhengheng was her biological father, she hated him deeply and wished to kill him with her own hands.

Because Shangguan Qinghong personally witnessed her mother being "sacrificed" by Shangguan Zhengheng!

That nightmare haunted her!

She could never imagine that someone could be so evil, to watch her mother’s flesh melt away slowly. Her heart bled, and at that moment, she swore to herself to kill Shangguan Zhengheng.

As for Shangguan Zhengheng, he had no care for his daughter. After committing the atrocity in front of her, he left brazenly.

Even telling her to grow up well, sparing her life was merely to prepare her as a sacrifice material for later.

Fortunately, Shangguan Qinghong was later noticed by Lin Xiu, who took her to the Qintian Observatory, where she escaped the clutches of this devil.

But the desire to kill the devil, Shangguan Qinghong, had never dissipated.

Tonight, upon learning that Shangguan Zhengheng would be spending the night on the Yunfang Boat for the first time in months, she began to plan and act.

The Divine Talisman Crossbow she prepared was her trump card.

It was the only means she had, with her level of cultivation, that could threaten Shangguan Zhengheng.

Her way of Divine Talismans was taught to her by Lin Xiu, a Divine Phase Realm Divine Talisman Master with exquisite mastery of Divine Talismans. Lin Xiu took Shangguan Qinghong under her wing, not only because she pitied her but also because she recognized her talent for Divine Talismans.

"So... is it still not enough?"

"Can evil people... really continue to exist in this world without any restraints?"

Shangguan Qinghong sat in the small boat, her entire body cold, under the assault of the divine crossbow bolt wrapped with Shangguan Zhengheng’s ’Extremely Terrifying God Plunderer’ Divinity.

As the Divine Crossbow bolt approached, the crushing oppressive force of the Illusory Phase Realm was so immense that she gradually lost even the strength to move.

All she could do was wait for death with eyes wide open.

Crunch crunch—

As the crossbow arrow neared, the waves surged, and the squirrel mask she wore, unable to withstand the terrifying force, was covered in cracks, and then explosively shattered!

Revealing Shangguan Qinghong’s delicate and stunningly beautiful but utterly pale face of despair.

She failed to kill Shangguan Zhengheng and was staking her own life instead.

Shangguan Qinghong was not willing to accept this. She wasn’t resentful of her own death, but that she failed... to kill Shangguan Zhengheng, the beast!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
