The Underwear Tycoon’s Name Resounds Chapter 91: I Gave You a Chance, But You Couldn’t Seize It
The moment Luo Xingchen activated her skill, Li Minghao, who was preparing to initiate the Blood Sacrifice Array, was forced to halt his actions. The background music that started playing was, once again, “Pulling Up the Turnip”! One could hardly tell if this was Li Minghao’s incredible luck or a stroke of dreadful misfortune. Not only was it the same dance, but once more, Li Minghao played the part of the turnip.
Since Xiao Yang had already left the area, this time only Li Minghao and the black mist attendant were left to participate. Powerless to resist, the attendant grabbed Li Minghao’s head in time with the music and began to pull. His heart sank. Repeatedly offending his master surely meant he was remembered for punishment. What to do now? Should he run when he regained control? Impossible! There was no escape. That terrifying man—if one could escape the master, he could never escape him. Suffering both mental and physical torment, it would be better to die early and be free. The black mist attendant quickly made his decision. So, when the music ended, and Li Minghao was still stuck in the pit, he took his own life first.
Immediately after, Li Minghao, his face as dark as pig’s liver and barely containing his fury, leapt out of the pit. “Again and again, you interrupt me, humiliate me—is this all you’re capable of?” Li Minghao was nearly driven mad with rage. “The Supreme Qi-Gathering Sect is one of the most respected orthodox sects. Since you hail from there, why do you only use such lowly tricks?” “If you have real ability, let me activate the Blood Sacrifice Array and we’ll fight fairly, man to man!”
Li Minghao was determined to force Luo Xingchen into an honest, head-on confrontation worthy of true warriors. Luo Xingchen listened, the corners of her lips curling into a playful smile. “I’ve never heard anyone so eager to invite their own suffering,” she remarked. Then, her tone abruptly shifted. “However, since you insist, and since I am, by nature, a helpful champion of justice, it would be unkind of me to refuse.”
Hearing this, Li Minghao was overjoyed. That fool! He’s digging his own grave! He cursed her twice under his breath, then hurriedly urged, “In that case, don’t interfere—let me activate the Blood Sacrifice Array!” Hmph! Once the array is open, I’ll show you what true despair is!
Already, Li Minghao could almost picture the pitiful state Luo Xingchen would be in soon. Luo Xingchen simply took out a small stool, sat down, and began cracking sunflower seeds—every bit the picture of someone content to watch the show.
Seeing that Luo Xingchen truly didn’t intend to interfere, Li Minghao gritted his teeth and wasted no more time, proceeding to form the seals and activate the array. Luo Xingchen was a person of her word—she said she wouldn’t stop him, and she didn’t. Li Minghao completed the hand seals smoothly, and the Blood Sacrifice Array was triggered.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. The sky turned blood red, and even the sun seemed to merge with it. All across the capital, from commoners to ministers to cultivators, the moment they noticed, their faces changed dramatically. Ordinary folk, lacking experience, thought it was a sign of divine wrath and fell to their knees. Some cultivators, sensing danger, tried to flee immediately, but when they reached the city’s edge, they were blocked by an invisible wall of air—there was simply no way out.
Everyone was trapped inside the capital! Though no one knew exactly what had happened, it was clear to anyone with a mind that they were caught inside a formation—and not a benevolent one at that.
As many grew anxious and fearful, a new anomaly appeared in the sky. The coiling golden dragon suddenly turned entirely blood red and came alive, raising its head in a wild, thunderous roar. The dragon’s cry echoed throughout the capital.
While everyone below was left bewildered and terrified, not knowing what to do, the blood-colored dragon transformed into a beam of scarlet light and plunged straight down, vanishing into the imperial palace in a flash.
Inside the grand hall, Luo Xingchen saw everything firsthand. Li Minghao, who had activated the formation, immediately absorbed the empire’s fate, which had taken the shape of a dragon. Strictly speaking, “absorbed” wasn’t quite right; the empire’s fate had only temporarily entered Li Minghao’s body—it did not yet truly belong to him. Still, for Li Minghao, this was enough. With this power, he was confident he could easily kill Luo Xingchen.
He, an unparalleled Demon Lord, had been humiliated and stifled for so long by a lowly cultivator. Now, at last, he could hold his head high! Li Minghao was so moved he nearly wept; his eyes grew red, and he displayed his most genuine emotion.
“Luo Xingchen, now I will show you despair!” Li Minghao’s voice was slow and deliberate, each word heavy with meaning. As he spoke, his aura surged, building pressure in the room—he clearly hoped to instill fear in Luo Xingchen before the fight even began.
“However, rest assured: since you gave me this chance, I won’t let you die horribly. I promise to leave your corpse intact,” he added.
“Is that all?” Luo Xingchen suddenly interjected, her expression calm, which only made Li Minghao feel more uneasy.
Goodness, he’s still so composed? Who’s he pretending for!?
Still, Li Minghao nodded. “I’ve said everything that needs saying. Now, it’s time for you to die!” He didn’t want to waste any more words. After all, this power wasn’t fully his yet; if he delayed, he would suffer the backlash of the nation’s fate, which he couldn’t withstand. This needed to end quickly.
Just as he was about to attack, Luo Xingchen spoke again. “I mean, is this all you have? No other tricks?”
“One is enough to kill you!” Li Minghao sneered. It sounded bold, but in truth, this was his only formidable move right now.
Luo Xingchen shook her head with a sigh and stepped forward, reaching out to jab Li Minghao’s forehead twice with her finger. “Honestly, I gave you a chance, and you still couldn’t make use of it! With just this paltry trick, you think you can kill me? You’re not even worthy of being my assistant, do you understand? I had hoped that the great Demon Lord would show me something impressive, something to open my eyes. But this? This? This is all you can do?”
