#785 - Zhang Jianshan's rosary
Li Chengfeng nodded upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Yes, that's indeed the case. But I have no choice, the elder has given the order, and I cannot disobey.
Fellow Daoist, how about you let me off the hook, and I'll give you this Joy Bead?"
Zhang Jianshan immediately burst into laughter and said, "Good, I sensed the aura of joy here, so I came over.
I discovered that it was indeed so. You're quite lucky, kid, to have obtained the Joy Bead."
He lowered his head to look at the tragic scene below, and then said with a smile, "See that? This is the true highest realm of joy, to lead people to death in intoxication, and finally turn them into a pile of white bones."
Zhang Jianshan raised his chin and said with a haughty expression, "Give me the Joy Bead, and I might spare your life."
Li Chengfeng dared not be negligent in the slightest. The Zhang Jianshan before him was quite strong, so he immediately took out the Joy Bead and threw it towards him.
The Joy Bead was filled with an extremely rich aura of joy. The pink mist seemed to possess spirituality, surging towards Zhang Jianshan.
Zhang Jianshan laughed heartily, reached out to catch the Joy Bead, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was genuine, he said with satisfaction, "Kid, you're really a smart one. Alright, you can leave now."
Li Chengfeng nodded and turned to leave, as if secretly rejoicing that he was able to escape this calamity.
However, after Li Chengfeng had gone far away, Zhang Jianshan finally let out a long breath, and with a "thump," he sat down on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that his previous battle with Wang Jue had already left him seriously injured.
Although he had killed Wang Jue and obtained Wang Jue's Yearning Bead, he himself possessed the Worry Bead.
Because there was a wonderful attraction between the Yearning and Worry Beads, they had accidentally met when they obtained the beads.
Both were there for profit, and without much talk, the two immediately engaged in battle.
Zhang Jianshan spent a great deal of effort, using all his strength to kill Wang Jue, and seize the other party's Yearning Bead.
But unexpectedly, he had just arrived here when he ran into Li Chengfeng, and unexpectedly obtained the Joy Bead.
Even more coincidentally, Li Chengfeng did not notice his injured condition, so he bluffed and cleverly persuaded him, not only successfully persuading Li Chengfeng to leave, but also easily obtaining the other party's bead.
Zhang Jianshan was smug in his heart, and said to himself, "What a foolish fellow, so easily deceived by me."
Just as he was complacent, thinking that he had successfully tricked two beads and could safely enjoy this unexpected joy, a white-robed youth suddenly appeared in front of him.
This person had a face like jade and eyes like bright stars. It was Chen Jian.
He cultivated the Fear大法, a strange technique that could instill fear in people, even causing them to die in fear.
At this moment, he was playing with a Fear Bead in his hand, the bead seemed to contain endless power of fear, making people shrink back in dread.
Chen Jian looked at Zhang Jianshan, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a cold voice, "You're really quite clever, tricking that fool away.
Since he no longer has the Joy Bead, I won't kill him for now, I'll kill you first.
You have two beads in your hand, which is exactly what I need.
Will you hand them over to me obediently, or should I take them myself? At that time, you will die even more miserably."
Zhang Jianshan looked at Chen Jian, a trace of despair and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He had no way to escape, and could only brace himself to face this terrifying opponent.
He sighed and said, "Fate is indeed like this. I deceived that fool, but I can't escape you."
Chen Jian laughed softly, his voice filled with ridicule and triumph. He said, "You people are all too impatient.
Just like me, I am full of fear in everything, afraid of being deceived, afraid of being inferior to others.
But what about now? At this juncture, what am I still afraid of? This is the unpredictability of things. Although I am afraid, I also like to create fear in others."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jianshan immediately felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, as if countless forces of fear were eroding his mind.
Bad things were about to happen. If he were caught by Li Chengfeng, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope, after all, Li Yichen was not the kind of person who liked to torture people.
However, if he were caught by Chen Jian, it would be different.
Chen Jian wanted to create fear in others, to make others die in fear. This was an extremely perverted technique.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jianshan couldn't help but feel a burst of despair and powerlessness.
He said in a trembling voice, "Please, just give me a quick death, I'll give you all the beads."
As he spoke, he quickly threw the two beads in his hand to Chen Jian, as if he was discarding a heavy burden.
Chen Jian laughed heartily, his voice filled with triumph and ridicule. He said, "What? Scared? The more afraid you are, the more excited I become, and the stronger my strength will be.
This is a difficult cycle to break free from, so I will kill you.
But even if it is killing, I don't kill people like others, killing them with one blow to show how awesome I am. I want to torture you slowly, let you die in fear."
With a whoosh, Zhang Jianshan didn't even wait for Chen Jian to make a move before he broke through and fled.
He was originally a very worried person, so he prepared in advance every time.
He had previously scared away Li Chengfeng, but he didn't want to fall into Chen Jian's hands. However, he still underestimated Chen Jian's methods.
After all, he was already seriously injured. He wanted to escape, but he didn't escape far before he directly crashed into a special restriction, and was fiercely bounced back.
Those restrictions were filled with unbearable faces, all of them filled with fear and despair, as if they were telling of endless pain.
Chen Jian strolled over, his face filled with a triumphant smile. He said, "Heaven is really on my side. It seems that I am destined to be the Holy Maiden's training partner.
You all have to die, all have to die under my fear. Zhang Jianshan, you are no exception."
Zhang Jianshan trembled, his body constantly shaking, as if he was in an endless ice cellar.
At this moment, he truly realized what it meant to be worse than death.
Falling into Chen Jian's hands, he would rather have been killed by that Joy kid before, than to endure this endless fear and torture.
Chen Jian would not give him a chance to regret it. He pinched his fingers to cast a spell, chanting words in his mouth.
With a low roar from him, a loud "boom" resounded, and strands of silk densely emerged, like poisonous snakes, carrying endless coldness and terror, and swept madly towards Zhang Jianshan.
Zhang Jianshan roared angrily, leaping up fiercely, as if to use all his strength.
The weapon in his hand burst out with dazzling light, and all the worry, anxiety, and fear on his body turned into unwillingness, pain, and helplessness, and he fiercely attacked, directly colliding with the sweeping force.
However, it was a pity that he was now at the end of his rope, seriously injured, so how could he possibly be Chen Jian's opponent? Immediately, he was struck away by that powerful force, his body like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
