Dragon's Origin

Chapter 438: Rules (Part 1)

Uncle Li's expression was absolutely priceless. Butler Lao Ge was willing to bet his head that he had never seen such an interesting expression on Uncle Li's face before. The utter disbelief, the various incredulities, as if he had seen a monster, yet not daring to believe the monster was right in front of him, could only be described as brilliant.

Uncle Li initially thought Wang Sheng was a cunning and slippery brat, but suddenly, Wang Sheng displayed a powerful stealth ability. Not only that, but the formation that Uncle Li was so proud of was nothing in front of him, just casually fiddling with it. Where was Uncle Li's face supposed to go?

As an elder, he not only judged by appearance but was also slapped in the face by actions right in front of him. Even Butler Lao Ge felt that Wang Sheng had done a great job and it was very satisfying.

It's not that Butler Lao Ge was standing on Wang Sheng's side. On this point, Butler Lao Ge could also swear with his life that he was definitely on the City Lord's side. Between the City Lord and Uncle Li, Butler Lao Ge was absolutely loyal to the City Lord, not Uncle Li.

Even if Uncle Li was an elder, and even the City Lord respected him, the butler would never be loyal to Uncle Li because of this. The respect that should be given would never be lacking, but that was all.

Uncle Li's stubbornness was too annoying. It was clear that the City Lord had already agreed to something, but there were still twists and turns when it came to Uncle Li. What was even more excessive was that, from beginning to end, Uncle Li had not given the butler a chance to explain, and had been suppressing him with his strength.

One must know that the butler represented the City Lord. As the City Lord's representative, he didn't even have a chance to say a word to Uncle Li besides greeting him. The butler's anger can be imagined.

Seeing Uncle Li's face being slapped by Wang Sheng's strength, the joy in Butler Lao Ge's heart was simply indescribable. Drinking a glass of iced beer under the scorching sun in the dog days of summer was nothing more than this. So refreshing!

However, just as he felt a little refreshed, Butler Lao Ge suddenly realized, 'Not good!'

Such a blatant slap in the face, although there were only three people present, since Uncle Li was so stubborn, he might immediately turn hostile. If Uncle Li were to attack at this time, Wang Sheng and the butler would not be able to withstand Uncle Li's attack.

Sure enough, Uncle Li's face darkened significantly. In his weathered gaze, a hint of killing intent was already faintly revealed.

In Uncle Li's heart, daring to play this trick in front of a super expert meant that even if I, this old man, misjudged you at the beginning, you should just consider yourself unlucky. But you actually dare to resist, this is courting death!

Suddenly, a scroll was thrown by Wang Sheng from the shelf over there towards Uncle Li like a hidden weapon, accompanied by Wang Sheng's apology that couldn't be more fake: "Uncle Li, I'm sorry, my hand slipped!"

If it were just an ordinary scroll recording some kind of cultivation technique, not to mention one, even ten thousand, Uncle Li wouldn't frown. However, the one flying over this time was different. It was a scroll from the armory where Uncle Li himself had set up an unknown powerful attack formation.

Uncle Li was just about to reach out and flick the scroll away, but suddenly remembered what this scroll was. His expression changed drastically, and he no longer cared about any killing intent towards Wang Sheng. With a flick of his arm, he threw the butler aside, and then carefully faced the flying scroll with both hands, spiritual energy surging out like a tide, wrapping the scroll.

Poor Butler Lao Ge, who was also a seventh or eighth level expert, had no power to resist at all beside Uncle Li. He was directly thrown high up and flew far away. Fortunately, Uncle Li did not restrict the butler's movements at this time, allowing him to turn around in the air, adjust his angle, and land safely.

But as soon as he landed, he still couldn't completely get rid of Uncle Li's strength. He staggered back several steps before he could stand firm. Uncle Li's force was completely unlike Lingxu Lao Dao's, which was just right and without any trace of fireworks. The whole thing could be described in one word: crude!

Perhaps Uncle Li couldn't care about anything else. As soon as he caught the scroll, the formation on the scroll was triggered. Boom, the powerful attack completely landed on Uncle Li's body.

Just when the scroll was still in the air, Uncle Li realized that he had caused a great trouble. The consequence of underestimating Wang Sheng was that this guy not only slapped his face with strength, but also counterattacked instantly when he revealed his killing intent.

If it were outside, this formation wouldn't hurt Uncle Li. He would have enough time and speed to quickly escape the attack range of the formation. But it wouldn't work here. Uncle Li didn't dare to escape at all, and had to desperately use all his spiritual energy to completely withstand the attack of the formation, without leaking a bit.

This was the armory. As long as the power of the attack formation leaked out a little, it would immediately affect the surrounding shelves, and then the formations on them would be activated in a chain reaction.

Tens of thousands of scrolls, some with more than one formation, adding up to more than one hundred thousand formations in the armory. What would be the consequences if they were activated at the same time?

Wang Sheng and Butler Lao Ge would definitely be crushed to pieces. Even Uncle Li himself couldn't bear such a terrifying attack.

Moreover, to take a step back, even if Uncle Li could withstand this fierce attack, these tens of thousands of cultivation technique scrolls would definitely have only one ending, and that was to be turned into fragments. And not the kind of fragments that could be pieced together, but into dust.

Why was Uncle Li staying here? Wasn't it to guard the armory? If the entire armory was destroyed because of him, what would be the point of Uncle Li staying in this underground for decades?

Wang Sheng was also ruthless. He seized the key that the other party had to protect and defend, forcing Uncle Li to desperately protect the cultivation techniques in the armory from accidents, even if he used all his skills.

The formation on the flying scroll exploded. Uncle Li not only had to suppress the power of the formation explosion from spreading, but also had to protect the scroll inside the formation. This effort was just short of growing three heads and six arms.

Boom, even though the formation had been wrapped by Uncle Li, the sound waves driven by the explosion still caused the entire underground cave to tremble. The only fortunate thing was that this sound wave did not trigger any formation, barely preserving the integrity of the armory.

The scroll in Uncle Li's hand was also intact under his desperate protection. However, Uncle Li himself was a little embarrassed. He couldn't care about protecting his clothes, which had become beggar's clothes, hanging on his body in shreds. Fortunately, the key parts were still covered, not revealing anything.

"Uncle Li, did you just say that this whole area is? You haven't answered me yet!" Wang Sheng's hateful voice came from that direction.

When Uncle Li gritted his teeth and looked over, he saw Wang Sheng holding a scroll in one hand, tossing it up and down, as if he would throw it out again in the next moment.
