Chapter 1053: Chapter 1043: Politely Refused
The dark Demon Zither hovered above the rugged mountain path.
At this moment, this Heavenly Path Device was not yet fully activated. Though it was several feet in size, compared to the mountain-like Demon Zither before, there was a considerable difference.
Tian Can, without arms, stood atop the Demon Zither, while Di Que, missing his legs, sat cross-legged beside him.
Their expressions and appearances, including their angry roars, were almost unchanged compared to before.
Previously, under the combined efforts of everyone, the two turned into black smoke and were thoroughly crushed — this was a fact witnessed by all.
Despite suffering such injuries, neither showed any signs of damage, as if the previously crushed Tian Can Di Que had nothing to do with them.
“What on earth is going on? Weren’t these two old cripples already dead at our hands before?”
“Why is misfortune always so reliable? Who just said that these two have become Heavenly Path Puppets, that the Heavenly Dao is undying, thus they are Undying?” Official source ıs Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
“Looking at the current situation, the prediction made by that person seems to have come true now!”
“Taoist Friend Lu, how should we face the resurrected Tian Can Di Que? Can we replicate the scene from before?”
In an instant, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
Those squatting on the ground, gasping heavily and barely rested, suddenly sprang up as if stung by a wasp.
Wary, watching the resurrected Tian Can Di Que duo, those who were severely abused by these cripples in the previous battle quietly retreated two steps to hide behind Lu Yingtian.
Feeling many eyes on him, Lu Yingtian sighed helplessly.
As the leader, he enjoyed others’ admiration and respect, but when something actually happened, he had to fulfill his obligations.
Like now, regardless of his willingness, he must step forward.
Otherwise, his position would collapse, and if he wanted to instruct others, they might just ignore him.
With a bitter smile, he stepped forward a few paces, standing in front of everyone.
His fists clenched tightly, ready mentally to act at any moment.
“Black Water Taoist Friend, I know you have a generous spirit, acting honorably.”
“I wonder, can you once again perform that Divine Skill?”
“As long as you can successfully deal with the Demon Zither, without its aid, we should be able to cope with Tian Can Di Que.”
During this brief respite while Tian Can Di Que remained inactive, Lu Yingtian cast a pleading look towards Chen Hai.
Of course, before asking for help, he praised Chen Hai.
He spoke of great deeds, kindness, things Chen Hai himself hardly related to.
Preferring a low-profile, cautious approach, Chen Hai avoided meddling in unrelated affairs.
How did his nature fit such noble words?
If you called him kind and honest, he might accept it more readily.
Unfortunately, Lu Yingtian seemed unaware of his strengths; otherwise, his compliments would align closer to reality.
As those words echoed, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Hai.
“Black Water Taoist Friend, we beg of you!”
“In the Land of Slumber, we’re all in the same boat; we should support each other and prioritize the bigger picture. We hope you won’t hesitate to help!”
“That’s right, indeed, Black Water Taoist Friend, we rely on you!”
Those more acquainted with Chen Hai, Supreme Kugu and Fang Ping, stepped forward, bowing and pleading.
As they spoke, the others also chimed in.
Throughout the battle with Tian Can Di Que, despite Chen Hai alone remaining unscathed, everyone recognized his pivotal role.
Frankly speaking, without Chen Hai’s strange Divine Skill turning the Demon Zither into black smoke, defeating Tian Can Di Que would be almost impossible if not improbable.
Who knows how many more would have perished here?
Because the majority met Chen Hai for the first time, having no familiarity, they turned to Lu Yingtian instead of pleading directly.
“That Divine Skill has serious drawbacks. Using it once was already its limit.”
“It’s definitely impossible for me to perform it again.”
“Against Tian Can Di Que, for now, we must seek another method!”
Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Hai frowned.
After hesitating briefly, he shook his head and declined.
If not for the Eye of Greed’s return and its subsequent message, he wouldn’t hesitate to assist the request.
However, sensing the newly reformed eye possibly had some awareness, he dared not use such a skill again.
Who knows what that existence is? If its consciousness grew, could it overwhelm him?
Fearing this mysterious Eye of Greed, Chen Hai naturally avoided it.
Moreover, despite the Zither’s assistance, Tian Can Di Que was not truly unbeatable.
Aside from using the Eye of Greed, Chen Hai had other solutions.
“Without that Divine Skill to remove the Demon Zither, they seem nearly unbeatable—what should we do?”
“Black Water Taoist Friend, failing to clear the Demon Zither, risks everyone’s lives here.”
“Time is running out; despite the dangers of using that Divine Skill, considering the potential massive risk of an immediate demise, isn’t it worth the gamble?”
The people wailed helplessly; a few were utterly despairing, even crying out in distress.
Even Lu Yingtian, always polite in speech, frowned deeply, his face somber, as he pleaded once more with Chen Hai.
