Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World-Novel



Chapter 75 – Hundred Police Officers Brutally Attacking Florida Man's Pet Faces Retribution

Tang Xuan had been vigilant ever since the start of this journey. As a quasi-immortal, he could see many things that other cultivators couldn't. Thus, he had been on edge.

As soon as he arrived at Florida Man's domain, he noticed a faint energy aura, which drew a square around the store and other buildings. Tang Xuan recognized the pattern right away as he had seen this boundary aura in many mystic realms and his ancestors, who had ascended to the immortal realms, had taught Tang Xuan once.

Boundary Lines were the indicators of a domain, which only immortals and celestial beings could use. In addition, Domains enforced unique laws, and the people inside had to comply. For example, if the domain laws dictated that one must dance before they talk, everybody would be forced to dance according to the domain laws. Otherwise, they would be either kicked out or killed by the domain.

The Tang Clan's subordinate sect, the Sixth Element Sect, which was also one of the three alchemy powerhouse organizations, also had a similar domain. It generated faint poisonous element Qi in a small area, allowing the descendants of the Tang Clan to cultivate them. However, it would instantly kill outsiders and unauthorized cultivators.

Tang Xuan also used to cultivate in the poison element domain, and it slingshotted his status from a regular elder of the sect to an official in the imperial court – He became the strongest poison user and a master alchemist, which earned the respect of his quasi-immortal peers and the emperor.

Although Chancellor Tang had a high status in the clan, sect, and imperial court, he had never seen such as large and expansive domain boundary before. He was in awe and was afraid of the owner of this domain at the same time.

Upon meeting Leo, Tang Xuan had doubts. He couldn't detect Leo's dao avatar or measure his Qi. Instead, his body produced strange air, which caused his instinct to react. It constantly warned him to either run away from this domain or never touch him.

After witnessing the hidden evidence, Tang Xuan came up with a hypothesis. He suspected that Leo might be a celestial stage cultivator, who had been suppressing his strength to prolong his stay in a mortal world.

So far, Tang Xuan had been trying his best to de-escalate the tension to get on Leo's good side. He was ready for every situation, and he was willing to throw away his wealth to befriend Leo.

Unfortunately, someone screwed him over.

BANG-BANG

"CHANCELLOR! HELP US!!"

"…"

Tang Xuan hid his sweaty hands under his long sleeves. He inwardly cursed Ye Tianxie and his goons.

'What the hell are they doing?! Are they stupid?! Can't they tell that they are in an immortal's domain? Right, they can't! They can't possibly see the immortal's boundary. Dammit. I should have warned them.'

There were only two pains that men could choose to swallow – The pain of discipline or the pain of regrets. But in this situation, Tang Xuan regretted that he failed to notify Ye Tianxie about Leo's true strength.

"Those idiots." Tang Xuan maintained his smiling face and walked toward the door. He tried to open it.

CLICK

Unfortunately, it was locked.

"Friend Florida Man, could you please?"

As Tang Xuan had no idea how a modern door worked, he turned around and gazed at Leo.

Betraying Tang Xuan's expectation, Leo stared at the space in front of him in a daze. His wicked smile terrified the chancellor.

.

.

'Oh, yeah. That's right.'

Leo almost couldn't contain his laughter when he received an update from the domain system.

DING

<Your employee, Cat, has been attacked.>

<Self-Defense Mechanism is enabled. Would you like to punish the assailants?>

Leo was overjoyed. He looked at the mini-map, hoping to steal everybody's lifespan with a thought. However, the blinking red dots on the screen were few as not everybody had attacked Cat or Wu Buyi yet.

His smiling face was frozen. He started dissing the assailants in his mind.

'Why don't you just launch a simultaneous attack?! Why are you sending a few people to attack at a time? Oh, wait. They would have died. Never mind. I can't let my precious free laborer and lifespan slave get themselves killed.'

Leo sighed and mumbled.

"Execute Order 66, system. The compensation is their lifespan."

<Affirmative.>

CHING-CHING-CHING

Leo's lifespan was increased, and five blinking red dots in the mini-map disappeared. As this wasn't Leo's first rodeo, he closed his system menu and smiled at Tang Xuan, feigning ignorance.

"It appears that your subordinates cause a scene. Let's go out and find them."

"…"

Tang Xuan opened a way for Leo. The latter unlocked the door and got out. As soon as he and Tang Xuan left the store, they noticed the massive shadow of a certain plant monster.

Leo ignored the crowd and looked up. Then, he found the massive chomper. For a moment, he thought that he was looking at the Pumpkin King from a certain card game as Cat's new big eye resembled it.

"Wut da hail is she doing?"

He pursed his lips while he inspected Cat's large roots and vines, checking if she was sick. Fortunately, there was no sign of a strange mutation other than her black roots, trunk, and vines.I think you should take a look at

Tang Xuan followed Leo outside and looked up as well. He was slightly taken aback when he noticed Cat's cultivation base.

"Friend Florida Man, what's happening here?" Asked Tang Xuan.

Leo shifted his gaze toward the troublemaking group. He stared at Ye Tianxie, "You should ask them, not me."

"…"

Tang Xuan paused for a moment. He turned toward Ye Tianxie. As soon as he turned around, his smiling face vanished from his face. He glared at the henchmen of Yan Zhu.

"What did you do, Ye Tianxie?!"

Ye Tianxie's face was pale. He rushed to Tang Xuan's side and clung to his arm, "S-Senior! Please help! The monster and the alchemist are attacking us! That thing ate one of us at first. But then, but then, five of our men suddenly dry up and turn into ash! T-This is sorcery! We don't know what hit us!!"

"…"

Tang Xuan remained silent, but his back was drenched in sweat. It was confirmed that Leo was an immortal, and he had just used his domain power to kill the men.

The chancellor deeply inhaled and exhaled three times. He had predicted this, but he didn't expect that they would have provoked an immortal and his comrades so soon. By the time Tang Xuan successfully controlled his heart rate, Leo already took several steps back and stood in the middle of a farm.

"Hmm?"

Tang Xuan was confused about why Leo retreated. From his perspective, Leo had nothing to worry about since his pet was as strong as Ye Tianxie. Also, Tang Xuan had no intention of helping these men, so Leo had nothing to be feared.

Little did he know what was about to happen. Leo had faced so many giant monsters before, and his fighting experience compelled him to keep a distance from every monster that could emit a rainbow aura. After all, these monsters were capable of bypassing his defense and wounding him.

"NOM-NOM MEOW!!"

Cat went berserk. She whipped down her thorn vine and smacked the alley between Wu Buyi and the general store.

BOOM

The nascent soul cultivators leaped away from the thick vine and dodged the strike. They bellowed and summoned their dao avatars to unleash their skills. Colorful beams, sword Qi, energy spears, flying daggers, and invisible bullets flew. Everything hit Cat's giant head and her vines as she couldn't dodge.

"HAH!"

Five of the cultivators merged with their dao avatars and transformed into 5-meter-tall giants. Their clothes were destroyed in the process, but they leaped toward Cat and threw their punches.

"MYAAAA!!"

Cat opened her mouth and shot out her long tongue. As if her tongue worked the same way as a frog, she caught one of the giants and pulled him into her mouth. Then, she chewed him alive.

BOOM-BOOM

The four punches of the remaining giants hit the chomper's body. It caused a slight dent, but she didn't flinch.

"NOM-NOM MYAAA!!"

Cat swung her two thorn whips and hit all four giants. They were knocked flying, but they landed at the border of Leo's domain to the west.

The giant cultivators gritted their teeth as the thorn whip grazed their stomachs and left behind deep wounds. They patted their wounds and circulated their Qi to heal.

In just two moves, everybody realized the disparity of their strength. Ye Tianxie also panicked as he didn't want to fight a monster that could potentially kill him. He shook Tang Xuan's clothes.

"Chancellor Tang! Please help me!"

Tang Xuan frowned and looked at Ye Tianxie with cold eyes. Then, he looked up and took a few steps back, breaking Cat's line of sight. Then, he scolded the henchman.

"You did this upon yourself. Why did you provoke that thing? You should have learned about Daoist Florida Man's pet from your spies."

"B-But they said it was just a 4th-stage monster."

"So, you're trying to take advantage of it and escalate the situation?!"

"I-I didn't know!"

"…You fool."

Tang Xuan deeply sighed. He had the urge to grab this guy and poison him to death. However, he was aware of the life brand on him. Had Tang Xuan killed him, the third prince would have learned of it and used the information to kill him or damage his Tang Clan.

The third prince couldn't be trusted, so Tang Xuan didn't let his guard down. Minimizing their losses was the only thing he could do at the moment.

But as Tang Xuan was getting ready to join the fight, he noticed a movement from the corner of his eyes.

Leo had been observing the situation from the farmland. He nonchalantly helped a farmer mannequin pull out a giant potato, and he started eating it raw.

"191? Well, it got what I want. Good job enduring that, Cat."

Leo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. He uttered a word, which would give Tang Xuan PTSD for the rest of his life.

"To cinder."
