The Great Worm Lich 385 Born Arrogant and Unreasonable

After that, the monster removed its transformation power and changed to become Min Lan. After putting on the bloody military uniform, she walked back to the young man.

"Sister, it looks like your mood has improved a lot after this calamity, I guess it can be said that it was a blessing in disguise then." Looking at Min Lan, who was standing amidst the sea of bugs, wearing a bloody uniform with an unchanged expression, Zhang Lisheng nodded and praised.

After that, he proceeded to mumble an ancient incantation of 'pst shh…' to get rid of his excess emotions. Looking at the poisonous bugs amidst the fierce battles on the meat mountain, he roughly calculated their strengths and weaknesses before he began to refine continuously one by one.

Time continued to flow past unknowingly. When all 1777 wizard gus had finally replenished and the last poisonous insect that had a mouse head but a cockroach body entered the young man's exposed arm flesh, the sky had already turned bright.

"It's finished…" Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and breathed a long sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face. Placing his hand above his head to shelter himself from the sun, he looked at the burning star hanging overhead and squirted out the five-colored wizard gu with cicada wings that resembled a cattail leaf fan yesterday out of his nose and commanded it to turn into a giant flying insect. "It's not too late, so if everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to leave Oasis World in the evening. Once I've finished settling one matter, let's set off immediately. "

Upon hearing his words, Min Lan, by the side, suddenly lamented with a complicated expression, "Lisheng, you have already cast over 6000 'refine' spells using the Silent Incantation Method for the entire night, and you can still walk? Don't tell me that the wizard power in your body is really endless and boundless?"

"Sister, if you have refined nothing but ancient strange insects that possess the omniscient power ever since you became a Rank-6 Wizard, you could have also possessed an abundant wizard power in your flesh as I do," Zhang Lisheng casually answered and looked at Pei Youliang, who was running towards himself, with a smile on his face as though trying to say something. Suddenly, Zhang Lisheng took a step out and flew forward while swinging a punch and smashed open his entire head.

Then, he commanded the beautiful colorful flying insect to flap its wings gently to jump up to Pei Youliang. Piercing its long and slender mouthpart into its neck that was gushing blood out like a fountain, it released its acid solution and began to suck with its might, transforming Pei Youliang's entire body into thick and viscous fluid that eventually ended up in the wizard gu's stomach.

"Smooth and clean. Everything is settled now, let's go!" After killing Pei Youliang without leaving any trace behind, the young man wiped his hand on the tree bark around his waist and jumped up to the wizard gu's head as though nothing had happened before telling the four girls.

"Lisheng! W-Why did you kill him?" When Guo Caiying saw how the young man suddenly displayed such brutal action for no reason, it took her aback and asked in a stutter, as though she did not hear his words.

Standing on the head of the giant insect, Zhang Lisheng pondered over it and revealed his menacing nature as a wizard. With a nonchalant smile, he replied, "Senior Sister, I don't view killing as my hobby, but at the same time, I'm not a living buddha either. I've gained a lot on this trip to China, and I could say that I'm carving a clear path for my future witchcraft cultivation. The reason I'd come back here to China would all boil down to you. Whether or not you've done this on purpose, I have still received a great favor from you. Adding on to the fact that you have been treating me passionately after I've come to know you, I could say that we're having a good relationship, so for this reason, it's just a matter of time for me to save you in this calamity. As for why I'll save Dr. Xu and Senior Sister Ai, well, it's all because of your pleading. Not mentioning the fact that one of them is your relative while the other is also quite familiar with me. For this reason, it doesn't matter to me if I rescue them since the situation is not particularly dangerous anyway. As for Senior Sister Min, well, we can say that she's my acquaintance. Even though she didn't do her best to help me after I entered the Gate of Witchcraft, she was still kind to me, so I guess it's also reasonable for me to save her. However, Pei Youliang, on the other hand, has had malicious means towards me the first time we were alone. After that, he became more respectful because of his fear of my power, so we can say that he has some resentment towards me. Yesterday, I have let him live for half a night after I've rescued him, and he has guarded one night for us, so we can that he's mutually returning each other's favor. Now, I've killed him because I'm worried that he would spread rumors after returning to the Earth, so tell me please, what is so strange about this?"

The young man's words made sense, but his selfishness and cruelty made Guo Caiying feel nothing but upset. Even so, she was rendered speechless, and at this moment, Xu Naijia, who was by the side, suddenly asked with a blank expression, "Dr. Zhang, the reason you killed him is not only because you're worried that he would spread rumors if he returned to Earth, but it also serves as a warning to us too, right?"

"Dr. Xu, you're older, so you do indeed see things more clearly," Zhang Lisheng answered without hesitation. "I practice witchcraft since I was young so I actually acquire these manners and courtesies of mine later on. I'm born as an arrogant and eccentric guy; I lived long enough as a person who practices the eye for an eye rule and vice versa. If you treat me nicely and respectfully, I'll do the same to you as well. However, if you dare to provoke or harm me, I'll cripple you and take your life. If I still don't feel satisfied yet, I'll annihilate your family, descendants, and everyone who shares the same bloodline as you, just for the sake of obtaining pleasure…"

The young man's tone was sincere, but there was an unexplainable hint of cruelty and barbarity in it. Upon recalling the mysterious and powerful strength that he showed just now, Xu Naijia, who originally wanted to lure Zhang Lisheng to say more vicious words, so her cousin, who was infatuated with him, would give up, felt goosebumps all over her entire body instead and could no longer say anything.

After secretly gasping for air after a while, the tall girl lowered her head and pulled Guo Caiying and Ai Chuhe to climb up the colorful flying insect quietly.

"Lisheng, is this the ancient wizard moral that you're upholding?" Min Lan followed closely behind Xu Naijia and leaped up the wizard gu. Once she sat down, she suddenly asked.

"Sister, I'm a person who will act dumb when I'm in an unfavorable situation but will kill as I like in a favorable situation. What I'm seeking is to live with great power and great freedom. Is there even such a thing as morals if I wish to have something like that? It's nothing but forming sects and not a right means of witchcraft," Zhang Lisheng answered and commanded the wizard gu to fly.

Since the young man feared that they would come across unknown danger outside the jungle if they flew too high, he could only command the colorful flying insect to move between the giant trees in the jungle about 60 to 70 meters high.

The wizards had long cleaned up the south of the A0001 camp several times. Adding on to the fact that it was within the giant ape's territory, he did not see any beast at all after flying for a while.

Feeling that the journey was much smoother than he had expected, Zhang Lisheng unknowingly commanded the wizard gu to speed up. At this moment, Min Lan's unhappy voice resonated from behind him. "But cultivation is just too hard! If we don't join any sect, we won't even be able to survive, much less seek for great freedom and great power..."

When Zhang Lisheng heard the girl's answer, he smiled but said nothing. Staring right ahead, he continued to shuttle between the gaps of the winding jungle bravely.

After searching around and figuring out the path, he saw Gannan's barren land that was covered with flying specks of dust before sunset.

"We've arrived! We've finally arrived…" Upon seeing the 7875th camp hidden in the dust far away, Xu Naijia, who had been silent the entire journey, finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in happiness.

Before she could finish her words, Zhang Lisheng suddenly made his move and displayed a kung fu move on Guo Caiying, Ai Chuhe, and her neck as fast as lightning, knocking the three of them out.

Standing at the wing of the wizard gu, the young man told Min Lan, "Sister, when we reach Gannan later, you'll change into a gecko and bring Senior Sister Guo, Senior Sister Ai, and Dr. Xu back to the camp. Then, say nothing and merely smash your head so you can bleed till you pass out for at least three days. A gecko can naturally cut off its limbs, so I believe that this won't be difficult for you."

"I've heard Miss Guo's stories about you the entire night yesterday, so I thought you'd trust her the most. I didn't expect you to put so much of your trust in me instead." What he said stunned Min Lan before she replied in astonishment.

"Sister, you read into it too much." Zhang Lisheng smiled. "There are only two people in this world whom I trust, and you're not on the list. The reason I chose you this time is that you're a wizard as well. You're the best when it comes to knowing just how powerful I can be in the future if I don't die halfway. With this realization, along with the fact that I've just saved your life under the combination of favor and fear, you're the last person who will be blinded by the Chinese government's luring and sell me out."

"Lisheng, you're quite honest now," Min Lan choked for a while and smiled wryly. "How about three days later then? Do you plan to flee to a faraway place?"

"Indeed. Three days later, I'll already be enjoying a sumptuous meal in a three-star Michelin restaurant with my girlfriend in New York. By that time, I believe that there's even less chance for you to spill anything. Anyway, Sister, I'll see you if I see you again," While Zhang Lisheng was speaking, the wizard gu had already flown to the edge of the world's passage. He commanded the flying insect to land and retracted it back into his flesh. Transforming his body using the wyrmdragon's power, he gathered a big mist from the humid jungle and flew up to the sky swayingly.

The young man looked down condescendingly with a bird's-eye view at the pencil-sized Min Lan who heaved a sigh on the ground. She transformed to become a gecko and carried Guo Caiying and the other two other girls on her shoulder before dashing out of the Oasis World in her tattered military uniform. When she pretended to faint at the desert near the 7875th camp, it did not take long for an armed armored vehicle to take them into the camp.

"Tsk, tsk, I can't believe that Sister Min actually has such good acting skills…" Upon seeing this, Zhang Lisheng, who was in the cloud, clicked his tongue and praised her before driving his cloud to cross the world's gate back to the Gannan desert.

Even though it was only 100 meters apart, the feelings they gave off differed greatly. Sensing that the moisture content in the air had dried up, the young man quickly flew up high and rapidly charged forward. Relying on the hazy night sky, he reached the sky above a rugged long highway.

Checking the group of huge stars above his head, he identified his position and drove the cloud to continue flying forward along the highway leading to Chongqing before following the national highway back to the outskirts of Chengdu.

He flew thousands of miles within one night. By the time dawn broke, Zhang Lisheng finally arrived at his destination as he wished.
