Run Them Over

The young man had waited a long time for this day.

He was not really young. In truth, he was already over forty. It was only because of the cultivation technique he practiced that he looked so youthful.

Even with grievous wounds weighing down his body, that youthfulness had not faded in the slightest.

He had received the news half a year ago, yet he had taken no action at all.

He had investigated Li Su's identity. It was extraordinary—his origins were terrifying, and he had powerful backing.

Under normal circumstances, he would never provoke someone like that. Provoking him would bring enormous trouble.

At first, he had thought someone was trying to harm him, deliberately feeding him this information so that he would go mad and seek out Li Su.

But then a photograph from the Earth Immortal Realm was sent over. It clearly showed Li Su holding a Six-Turn Golden Elixir.

Once he confirmed that the item truly existed and was on Li Su's person, his breathing grew heavy. In a dim, despairing corner, he saw the light of dawn spilling down.

For someone doomed to die, even if hell's abyss lay beyond that sliver of light, how could they easily give it up?

After all, giving up meant death. Not giving up still left a chance to live.

Faced with hope, he had been deeply stirred. Yet decades of experience forced him to calm down. He endured, enduring for a full half year as he thoroughly mapped out the situation around his target before making his move.

Why hadn't he simply gone and bought it openly?

Because he couldn't afford it!

He could not produce goods of equal value. No, that was not quite right—he did have something, but he could not bear to part with it.
