The infinite heavens begin with American horror.

Chapter 147: Lao Deng, the gold coins exploded

"Hey hey hey! Isn't that Death himself? What's gotten into such a sorry state?"

"Li Qing, don't be so smug, the outcome is still uncertain!"

"I'll tear you to pieces as soon as I get out!"

Death clenched his fists, looking at Li Qing's smug face with immense anger.

Lee Qing sat on his throne, looking down at the Grim Reaper with disdain.

At the same time, Li Qing found the words coming from Death's mouth somewhat amusing.

"hehe!"

"You still want to come out? Do you think I'll give you that chance?"

"Or rather... so what if you come out? Do you think you can still defeat me? Do you even have the strength?"

Li Qing's words were like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of Death.

Li Qing is right, Death no longer has that power.

Without the Reaper's Scythe, he was no match for Lee Sin. Lee Sin's previous blow to him with the Trident of Poseidon had caused him unparalleled damage, almost shattering the Reaper's skull.

Fortunately, he was stubborn enough, otherwise he would have certainly died on the spot.

Without divine power to repair it, the crack still remains on his head.

Now that he has no Death Scythe to replenish his energy, how can he withstand Li Qing's attacks? He will eventually be worn down and killed in the sea by Li Qing.

When his divine power is exhausted, that will be the time of his death.

Death seemed imminent for him.

How ridiculous!

How ironic that even Death itself will one day face its own end!

This is something Death would never want to accept.

Recalling his previous carelessness and underestimation of his opponent, Death felt extremely regretful.

He underestimated Li Qing at the time, thinking that the two were of vastly different strengths and that Li Qing could not cause any trouble no matter what. When he saw Li Qing take out an ordinary harpoon, he even mocked him for being stupid.

It was unexpected that the seemingly ordinary harpoon in Li Qing's hand would actually be the famous Trident of Poseidon!

It was this underestimation of his opponent that caused him to lose his divine weapon, the Reaper's Scythe, ultimately leading to his defeat.

He mocked Li Qing for being foolish back then, but now it seems he was the most foolish one.

Or perhaps it should be said that Li Qing was too cunning, disguising the Trident of Poseidon as a harpoon to deceive him and lower his guard.

But the victor is king and the loser is villain; the facts are already set.

To change this situation, a god would have to step in and help him escape.

Or perhaps, he could lower his arrogant head, admit defeat to Li Qing, and beg for mercy, in which way he might be able to save his life.

After all, as long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood!

However, for someone as proud and arrogant as him, how easy was that?

Imagine the humiliation of suddenly making a god who is used to being high above bow down! It's worse than killing him!

But the current situation is pressing, and if he doesn't do this, he'll probably only face death... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into a deep contradiction and struggle.

......

Li Qing stared at the silent Grim Reaper, his killing intent towards him undisguised. He brandished the Trident of the Sea God, and under the control of the Sea God's divine authority, endless seawater mixed with divine power pressed down on the Grim Reaper.

Today is the day Li Qing will slay the god!

Li Qing suddenly exerted his strength without warning.

This sudden attack caught Death off guard, and he felt unprecedented pressure.

Death was secretly startled and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly mobilized the divine power within his body and continuously poured it into his defense.

In an instant, the blue flames that had dimmed around his body blazed up again, forming an indestructible barrier that fiercely resisted the overwhelming seawater.

"Old Deng, it's time to start rolling gold coins!"

Li Qing stared intently at the Grim Reaper struggling before him, a surge of unprecedented excitement welling up within him. He had slain countless monsters, but facing such a powerful and mysterious being as a god was a first for him, and the prospect of personally slaying a god filled him with even greater thrill.

"Lao Deng?"

What do you mean?

Exploding gold coins?

Does Li Qing want money?

Death is currently struggling against the surging seawater. He is doing his best to resist the seawater's erosion, and his divine power is being rapidly depleted.

The already limited divine power was about to run out.

When life and death hang in the balance, the only options left for death are surrender and certain death.

Death hurriedly shouted, "Li Qing, we originally had no deep-seated hatred for each other, why make things a life-or-death struggle over some mortals? Why escalate things to such an uncontrollable point? If you really push me to the brink, I'll just go all out and destroy my own godhood. At that time, you probably won't be able to escape unscathed either. Why bother with such a lose-lose situation?"

Death, feigning composure, continued, "How about we turn hostility into friendship, sit down, and talk things out calmly? I will do my utmost to meet any conditions you set! What do you think?"

After saying that, Death looked at Li Qing, seemingly waiting for him to give him a chance to live.

"Self-destruction of divinity?"

Upon hearing this word, Li Qing's expression hardened.

This is indeed a threat, but Li Qing isn't afraid that the explosion of the Death God's divine essence will hurt him.

Death was trapped by him, not to mention whether he could harm Li Qing, who was protected by two divine artifacts.

Even if his self-destruction of his divine status was extremely powerful, Li Qing had every opportunity to escape the blast radius.

What he was concerned about was that if Death destroyed his own godhood, wouldn't he lose one of his final spoils?

Thinking of this, Li Qing brandished the Trident of Poseidon and stopped his attack on Death.

The seawater, which had been surging like a ferocious beast just moments before, immediately calmed down, and the seawater surrounding Death receded as quickly as the tide.

Li Qing even went so far as to create a space without seawater for Death in the ocean, as if to show his sincerity.

Li Qing decided to first calm the Grim Reaper down and lower his guard before delivering the fatal blow, not giving him the chance to destroy his own godhood!

Li Qing's attack stopped, giving Death a chance to breathe.

Death assumed Li Qing had agreed to peace talks, and the blue flames completely receded from his body. Then, a black mist enveloped him, and when the black mist dissipated...

When Death reappeared before Li Qing, he transformed back into the black coroner he had first met.

The Grim Reaper's figure hovered in that space, looking at Li Qing with a somewhat obsequious and fawning expression.

He would never have adopted such a humble and subservient posture in the past.

But now times have changed, and he's become a fish on Li Qing's chopping board; otherwise, he'd be dead.

"Mr. Li Qing, I'm very happy to have resolved our conflict. Please feel free to make any requests you may have, and I will do my best to fulfill them!"

Death smiled at Li Qing, while secretly glancing at the Death Scythe in Li Qing's hand.

This was his divine weapon, and he naturally hoped that Li Qing could return it.

Although Death only glanced at it stealthily, Li Qing still managed to catch it.

Li Qing brandished the Grim Reaper's Scythe in his hand and said, "I don't know what I want either! Why don't you tell me what you can offer first? Let's see if there's anything I like."
