Chapter 304: Chapter 304 She Finally Left
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Emperor Tian, having just stepped into the Heaven Martial Continent, was ready to show his prowess. His plan was to capture Chen Pingping’s two junior sisters alive, thereby forcing Chen Pingping to battle. Afterwards, he would sweep through the Heaven Martial Continent...
The dream was beautiful, but reality was often cruel.
He discovered that the Heaven Martial Continent was not the trash heap he had imagined.
For instance, the delicate woman before him wielded a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. A creature he couldn’t identify, Mao Qiu, was perched on her shoulder. The mere sight of her made him feel as if he were falling into an abyss. That old yellow bull not far away was even more terrifying; each of its movements exuded an incomparable sense of oppression.
Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his breathing grew hurried.
He spun around, intending to flee. He was fast.
But Guang Xiaoyu was faster. Taking advantage of the spatial crack, she returned to the Spirit Realm along with Emperor Tian.
At the altar before the Mo River.
Emperor Tian’s figure burst out. Just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, he sensed Guang Xiaoyu behind him. He turned instinctively, his expression freezing.
"What’s wrong?" Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "Weren’t you looking for me?"
"..."
Emperor Tian looked around. His clan members were nowhere to be seen, and the Saintess had also vanished. Only Emperor Spirit remained.
With a sharp cry, he commanded, "Attack! Kill her!"
However...
Mao Qiu, perched on Guang Xiaoyu’s shoulder, lifted its eyelids slightly, revealing a narrow slit. Emperor Spirit, who was about to charge forward, froze as if facing a formidable enemy, its majestic eyes filled with utter terror. It retreated several steps, its robust body trembling as if it had encountered something horrifying.
Damn it! It really is... Seeing this, Emperor Tian knew this was bad.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of existence it was that could intimidate even Emperor Spirit, a creature from the altar, with just a single glance.
Emperor Tian felt his scalp tingle. He turned again, desperate to escape.
But would Guang Xiaoyu let him go so easily?
A Demon God emerged from between her brows, wreathed in the Power of Death. It let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. The Demon God, wielding a long spear, charged forward to kill. Its terrifying Power Path permeated wantonly, and a strong Divine Might suddenly locked down the entire battlefield.
It was powerful. Its cultivation state far surpassed Guang Xiaoyu’s own.
What kind of cultivation technique is this? How can this be? Emperor Tian was terrified.
A Divine King Realm cultivator had actually unleashed the killing force of an empire’s Peak State! The emerging Demon God didn’t seem like an attack but more like a living entity.
A single strike severely injured him. His body flew backward like a broken stone.
The Demon God did not stop. It attacked again, the hollow depths of its eyes revealing killing intent.
Emperor Tian panicked. He quickly performed a Forbidden Technique, taking Emperor Spirit and fleeing the scene.
"Hmph!" Guang Xiaoyu was frustrated. This kid actually cultivated an escape art! Impressive. The Divine Clan’s Bloodline Power is so strong. If he’s allowed to continue to grow, won’t he become another Jin Wushuang? She pondered this.
After Emperor Spirit had fled, the crack behind them also healed, making it almost impossible to return.
Of course, since Guang Xiaoyu had come to the Spirit Realm, she had no intention of going back. She was going to find her Senior Brother.
「Inside the cave.」
Jin Lun breathed a deep sigh of relief. She finally left. That demon. Let her go wreak havoc in the Spirit Realm! Anyway, I’m still in Heaven Martial...
Although the thought was somewhat inhumane, he felt helpless. Who could he blame but that fool Emperor Tian for insisting on opening the Spatial Barrier? Now look at the result. The only consolation is that Guang Xiaoyu’s cultivation state doesn’t seem as strong as it once was!
After a while, Zi Ji arrived. She glanced around the cave, but not seeing her Second Senior Sister, she asked, "Where is my Senior Sister?"
"HA!" Jin Lun sneered. "Little girl, do you know who you’re talking to?"
Having been frustrated for so long and having endured for such a lengthy period, now that Guang Xiaoyu had finally left, he no longer needed to suppress himself. Time to be bolder.
"I advise you to open the Array obediently," Jin Lun said ominously. "Otherwise... when my clan members invade, you will become my first blood furnace."
"What do you mean by ’blood furnace’?"
"The first person I’ll kill."
"Oh?" She nodded. "Are you going to kill me?"
Jin Lun scoffed, "Obviously."
"So, what should I do?" Zi Ji asked.
The question was actually quite simple: if Jin Lun wanted to kill her, she could also strike back. But Zi Ji had significant deficiencies in certain areas; for example, her skills in confronting powerful enemies were severely lacking. If Jin Lun were to strike now, she would realize she should fight back. But Jin Lun didn’t; instead, he resorted to threats.
The question she pondered was: Is Jin Lun important? Did Second Senior Sister intentionally let him live? I’m not sure.
Zi Ji lifted her head, seemingly having made a decision. She took out the Imperial Path Divine Weapon given to her by Chen Pingping and chopped off another one of Jin Lun’s arms.
Jin Lun: "???"
He was completely stunned. It was understandable that Guang Xiaoyu, the Demon Emperor, could ignore the Array and the Power of the Sacrificial Altar. But on what grounds could Zi Ji do so? Wait a minute! What was that attack just now? Why couldn’t I sense any fluctuation of Spirit Qi?
"AH!" Only after a few breaths did the pain assault him. He let out a harrowing scream, his golden pupils widening immensely as three words squeezed out from between his teeth, "Why?"
He was going mad.
"Weren’t you going to kill me?" Zi Ji asked, astonished. "My Senior Brother said that one cannot be merciful to enemies. However, I’m not sure if you’re useful, or whether Second Senior Sister intentionally left you alive. So, I just chopped off one of your arms. That should be fine, right?"
Huh? This? What kind of logic is that? Her tone was so calm, as if she had the whole situation under control!
Jin Lun’s face turned pale. "What realm are you in?"
Zi Ji answered naively, "I don’t know."
"What technique do you cultivate?" he asked again.
"Qi!"
Qi? What the heck is that? Jin Lun was dumbfounded. He started to calm down, his eyes darting around as if he’d thought of something. He then continued, "Actually, your Second Senior Sister meant for you to let me go."
"That’s not possible!" Zi Ji shook her head.
"Why? You don’t believe me?"
"Of course not!" she nodded.
"..."
Jin Lun had thought Zi Ji was foolish and easy to deceive, but it turned out this girl was surprisingly astute in certain matters.
He simply shut his mouth.
But Zi Ji didn’t seem to have any intention of letting him go. Guang Xiaoyu had disappeared without a trace, which made her very worried.
She stepped forward and asked again, "So, where did my Second Senior Sister go?"
"The Spirit Realm!" Jin Lun said, annoyed.
"Was it your doing?"
"Definitely not!" Jin Lun panicked.
But as soon as he spoke, Zi Ji clearly didn’t believe him. She lifted the Imperial Path Divine Weapon and swung it again.
This time, her target was a leg.
Jin Lun screamed in agony, cursing, "Why do you keep chopping me?"
Zi Ji replied, "You’re lying to me?"
I’m screwed... Jin Lun raged, "I’m trapped here, have narrowly escaped death countless times, and my abilities are limited! Even if I wanted to do something to your Senior Sister, do you think I could?"
Oh, right! Zi Ji thought for a moment, then asked with an innocent face, "Do you have accomplices?"
Jin Lun: "..."
"Strange. My Senior Brother said that experts who have stepped into the King Tao Realm can easily recover even if they lose limbs. Why can’t your limbs be restored?" She tilted her head, apparently forgetting her initial purpose.
Her thoughts were very erratic, and her focus exceedingly peculiar.
Jin Lun was suppressed by the Array and the Power of the Sacrificial Altar. Over the long eons, his regenerative abilities had diminished to almost nothing. Forget severed arms and legs; even a lost finger would take an incredibly long time to heal.
He wanted to cry. Not because he had been suppressed for so long, but because he had encountered Guang Xiaoyu and Zi Ji.
These two little girls aren’t human at all; they’re demons, devils from the depths of hell...
Jin Lun’s face was filled with despair. "Just kill me! Please!"
