Actually, Gu Qingfeng's assumption was right.

Sun Sheng was floating above, nearly plastered against the wall.

He wasn't even using a gecko-climbing wall technique; instead, he gently hooked it with a single finger and his entire body floated against the wall.

It was hard to imagine that he was a fat man weighing over two hundred catties.

A fat man actually needed to be described as "light as smoke and clouds."

In fact, Sun Sheng's talent in lightness kung fu was truly in a league of its own.

He also hailed from a small cultivation lineage, practicing since childhood, and what he mastered first turned out to be Water-Crossing and Grass-Gliding.

Yet he was also naturally broad-bodied, fat from childhood to adulthood, and it was difficult for him to slim down even using medicine from the Ghost Hand Apothecary.

So when others saw him executing lightness kung fu as a child, they all said it was a pig floating on water and a pig gliding across grass.

This also forged the title of "the lightest and most agile fat man" in the mouths of others.

At this moment, he was floating right there, staring at Gu Qingfeng.

Just how much hatred he held for this country bumpkin who toyed with his wife matched how delicious the target appeared in his eyes right now.

Sun Sheng couldn't wait any longer after all.

His fat figure leaped with agility, floating toward the doorway like a ghost.

The bedroom door opened silently on its own, and Gu Qingfeng, lying right there, had already prepared himself to meet a ghost.

In this world, there were simply too many ghostly and supernatural matters.

Wasn't he drenched all over just yesterday by a rain of blood scattered by a bodhisattva?

Yet the scene before his eyes somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Standing in the doorway was a very fat figure.

To be honest, fat people had always been considered very down-to-earth existences in Gu Qingfeng's mind.

Even if they were ghosts, once they got fat, they didn't even look like ghosts anymore.

He had never seen Sun Sheng, but he had heard the Yellow Smoke Ghost say that Sun Sheng was a fat man.

The one who came really was Sun Sheng!

Since it wasn't a ghost, Gu Qingfeng felt a little more at ease.

Well-timed arrival!

The gears for him to wipe out this apothecary were about to start turning!

Once he pulled out this hardest nail of the apothecary, everything else would fall smoothly into place.

Gu Qingfeng was waiting for Sun Sheng, and Sun Sheng had also come to find Gu Qingfeng.

Once inside this room, Sun Sheng's footsteps became even lighter.

Even that tiny bit of faint, fragmented sound from before was completely gone.

How was this any different from a ghost?

To be honest, the combination of his fat body and his cloud-like lightness technique was truly rather eerie.

The door to this room opened silently and then closed silently once more.

"True qi?"

No, it was already approaching true essence.

For the opponent to open and close the door so lightly and silently, that was an effect achieved by releasing true essence in tiny wisps and manipulating it like threads.

This wasn't a standard that could be reached by the Second-Tier Qi Refining Realm, yet it had a gap compared to the liquid state of the Third-Tier True Essence Realm?

Second-Tier Qi Refining half-step peak Great Perfection?

At this time, Sun Sheng had already arrived by the large kang.

In the dim environment, his face couldn't be made out at all, giving only the impression of a fat silhouette.

Gu Qingfeng had the illusion of meeting a pig demon.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, he clutched his liver and asked with a look of "fear."

With the opponent this close, continuing to feign blindness was somewhat inappropriate.

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's panicked voice, Sun Sheng smiled, smiling quite amiably.

"Was it fun during the day?"

Sun Sheng questioned with a tone of a cat toying with a mouse.

As he spoke, his right hand had already probed toward Gu Qingfeng's liver area, liver-killing aura flowing at his fingertips.

He wanted to pierce the other party's liver in one go and madly suck out this fellow's liver-killing aura from the source!

"Fun!"

As a result, almost at the same time, Gu Qingfeng said with a deadpan, earnest expression.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it was very firm—firm enough to startle Sun Sheng.

Right in this gap, Gu Qingfeng's finger struck out first.

Sun Sheng had originally harbored the mentality of a cat toying with a mouse; although he reached out first, he was unhurried and leisurely, and this unhurriedness became slowness under Gu Qingfeng's sudden sneak attack.

Sun Sheng's hair stood on end all at once as he perceived danger, wanting to widen the distance relying on his incomparably exquisite lightness technique, but it was too late!

Because Gu Qingfeng not only struck fast, but he also released his true essence and liver-killing aura at the same time.

Tangible true essence and liver-killing aura shot out from Gu Qingfeng's right middle finger and ring finger respectively, swift as flowing light.

Just as Sun Sheng's fat body drifted backward, his throat had already been pierced through.

This was the true gap between the Third-Tier True Essence Realm and the Second-Tier peak half-step Great Perfection!

Once the liquid-like true essence was released, its speed and piercing force were definitely incomparable to true qi.

What's more, there was also the even more condensed liver-killing aura.

Sun Sheng's eyes suddenly widened to the size of saucers, not daring to breathe.

He knew that if he breathed, this pierced throat would definitely spew blood everywhere, making things even more desperate.

Even under such circumstances, Sun Sheng still didn't despair.

He was one of the most valued disciples of Lord Ghost Physician Ghosthand; this kind of injury was fatal to ordinary cultivators, but he still had a way to be saved here.

The precondition, however, was being able to escape to a relatively quiet place to use medicine.

He gritted his teeth and continued to execute his lightness kung fu, darting toward the bedroom door.

Seeing the door he had closed with his own hands, a bitter trace surfaced on Sun Sheng's face.

If he crashed into it hard, it would inevitably slow down his speed.

Thus, as usual, he released true qi with extreme lightness, pulled the door open, and his entire body drifted out like a gust of fat wind.

As long as he drifted out!

Once he drifted out, there was still a chance of salvation!

Only to see Sun Sheng's body shudder while floating in midair, stemming from the fact that his back had taken yet another stream of liver-killing aura!

That was shot out by Gu Qingfeng using his finger as a sword.

This liver-killing aura actually proved even smoother to use than true essence!

Because it didn't need to use the "Geng-Metal Dao Fruit" to compress and transform its form at all; instead, it was simply this pure and fierce right from the start!

The killing aura emitted by this sword finger was naturally murderously imposing, piercing right through Sun Sheng's body.

Yet Sun Sheng still gritted his teeth, holding his breath as he drifted out.

The instant he drifted out, both of his feet tapped the ground, preparing to soar up from the earth.

Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng was also startled.

Because he saw the other party's determination!

The determination to escape!

With such determination to escape and that marvelous lightness kung fu, the fellow might actually stand a chance!

He hurriedly chased out.

By this time, Sun Sheng had already swept beyond the courtyard wall.

Gu Qingfeng hurriedly vaulted over the wall using a parkour-style movement.

Beyond the wall was a street nestled between the apothecary and the multi-story pavilion.

As if anticipating long ago that Gu Qingfeng would give chase, Sun Sheng didn't even catch his breath after landing, tapping his feet against the ground to fly upward.

This flight soared extremely high, like a crane amidst the clouds.

When escaping from the Golden Core Immortal Sect earlier, Gu Qingfeng had once tried to jump with all his might—that single leap of four or five zhang had startled even himself.

Yet he discovered that even if he jumped like that again, he couldn't catch up to the other party's height.

How could this scoundrel, so fat as he was, fly just like that?

At this moment, Sun Sheng wore a look of firm resolve.

He only needed to float like this, drifting into the pavilion where his secret chamber and mechanisms were located.

As long as he reached that place!

Once there, he would be able to live!

Yet right at that moment, he suddenly felt a golden light flashing below, and looking down, all the hairs on his body stood on end.

Stemming from down below, Gu Qingfeng suddenly made a spear-throwing motion.

Yet where on earth did he get a spear!

That was the core branch protruding from Gu Qingfeng's shoulder!

As Gu Qingfeng's whole-body strength coiled together with his muscles, he threw it!

That core branch, resembling a golden spear, transformed into a streak of golden light that pierced right through the fat Sun Sheng in midair with a buzzing hum.

Sun Sheng struggled in midair, the breath he had been holding finally breaking as he plummeted downward in despair!

Just where on earth did this country bumpkin come from, being such a monster?

An old freak toying with a child?
