Chapter 1265: Killing Intent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Dongzi was already filled with extreme shock.
He had never seen such a divine ability before and had never felt a similar feeling. However, he could clearly sense the vastness of the water waves that appeared around him.
This was also the first time a life-and-death crisis appeared in his heart.
At the same time, he also sensed that he had lost all mobility at this instant. His body couldn’t move at all and his cultivation seemed to have frozen. Everything was still.
In addition, he was suppressed by the purple moon and entangled by the soul threads. This made it difficult for him to use anything even if he had the ability to overturn the sky and sea.
Only his thoughts could still move.
What made his mind rumble even more was that all his secrets had been revealed.
The water under his feet reflected everything, including what he had cultivated all his life.
All his secrets, everything, regardless of whether it was illusory arts or real things, appeared on the surface of the water.
He instantly determined that… if he was injured in the water, it would definitely affect his main body.
This premonition made him attempt to struggle. However, at this moment, all his actions were useless.
His body in the water swayed even more.
The feeling of life and death became increasingly intense.
As for Xu Qing, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.
Through Fishing the Moon From the Well divine power, he obtained an unexpected discovery.
And this was Ji Dongzi’s foundation!
Clearly, this was also where his strength as the second among the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven’s heaven’s chosens lay.
97 divine tablets, 97 carvings of fallen gods!
What he saw and felt caused Xu Qing’s heart to freeze.
However, he was aware that now wasn’t the time to guess and analyze. Hence, after a glance, he didn’t hesitate at all. He raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely.
“The realm of heaven and earth can be likened to a well…”
Xu Qing’s voice, as if across the years, and as if spreading underwater, echoed throughout this vast expanse of sky and earth.
Every word contained Dao intent. After it was combined, it transformed into a drop of water that activated a mysterious Dao Art and landed on the surface of the water.
Ripples spread out on the water surface, distorting Ji Dongzi’s figure and the 97 wisps of souls.
This ripple formed a large hand that grabbed at the 97 wisps of souls!
Xu Qing wanted to fish out everything!
Ji Dongzi’s mind rumbled as an intense feeling of tearing erupted in his heart. The 97 wisps of his soul in the water shook one after another.
As Xu Qing increased the amount of force he used to fish them out, they slowly got closer to the surface of the water. They were about to be fished out by Xu Qing.
However, at this moment, the divine tablets in the 97 wisps of souls suddenly flickered with a piercing golden light. The gods carved in the totems seemed to have come alive and opened Their eyes in unison.
Their golden pupils stared at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing’s heart instantly stirred. Although they were separated by the water, the gazes of the 97 gods instantly caused his body to mutate.
Countless flesh buds grew out in a disorderly manner and the tearing of his soul also rose crazily. His body was about to collapse.
At the same time, in the water, the huge repulsive force emitted by the 97 gods also affected the well of heaven and earth, causing Xu Qing’s fishing to fail for the first time!
At this moment, the struggle grew increasingly intense on Ji Dongzi.
Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. The divine sources in his body spread out and he used all his strength to suppress his state. At the same time, his eyes narrowed.
He had two guesses about these 97 divine tablets.
The first guess was that this was some kind of ritual.
Since he couldn’t fish out everything now, going all out to fish out a wisp would definitely destroy this ritual.
The second guess was that among these 97 wisps of souls, there should be a wisp that was Ji Dongzi’s life soul.
If he could fish out this soul, it would form a killing technique.
However, the difficulty was too great and time didn’t allow him to screen them one by one.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes as he quickly swept his gaze across the 97 wisps of souls. With his intuition, he stared at one wisp and lifted his right hand again. He used all the power of Fishing the Moon From the Well to target only that wisp of soul.
He scooped it up.
One could see an illusory large hand appearing on the surface of the water. No matter how the surface of the water fluctuated, it couldn’t be stopped. It entered the water and enveloped the wisp of soul before suddenly lifting it up.
The sound of water echoed, accompanied by the furious roars from the other 96 wisps of souls. This hand formed by Xu Qing’s divine art began to collapse.
The struggle from the divine soul itself and the rejection from the other souls caused Xu Qing’s large hand to be unable to pull the wisp of soul out of the water.
Seeing that it was about to collapse, Xu Qing took a deep breath and lifted his right foot, stepping fiercely on the surface of the water.
With a boom, the water surface immediately churned. All the water currents surged toward Xu Qing’s collapsing hand and rapidly fused into it, slowing its collapse.
As for the well of heaven and earth, it started to dissipate as it replenished Xu Qing’s large hand.
The large hand continued to collapse and replenish!
In the end, before it completely disintegrated, Ji Dongzi’s 97th soul was pulled out of the water by Xu Qing.
The moment he held it in his hand, Xu Qing felt some regret. He could sense that this wasn’t Ji Dongzi’s life soul.
However, he didn’t hesitate at all. He turned and ran.
The moment Xu Qing sped away, a heart-rending sound rang out from behind him. At the same time, the sound of water exploding rang out.
Fishing the Moon From the Well disappeared!
A terrifying aura erupted from Ji Dongzi’s body. Amidst his mournful roars, he, who had regained his mobility, abruptly lifted his head. His eyes were red as he stared at Xu Qing in the distance.
There was still lingering fear in his heart.
Xu Qing’s judgment wasn’t wrong. There was indeed his life soul among the 97 wisps of soul. If Xu Qing fished it out, it would be a line between life and death for Ji Dongzi.
This was the first time he had felt such a life-and-death crisis since he started cultivating.
In addition, although Xu Qing couldn’t capture his soul accurately, the loss of a divine tablet still injured Ji Dongzi’s soul. Moreover, the tearing pain it brought caused his expression to twist. He anxiously wanted to give chase and get back the wisp of soul.
Hence, while he had lingering fear, intense killing intent erupted in his heart.
“Die!”
Ji Dongzi let out a deep shout and took a step forward, directly crossing the void and appearing in front of Xu Qing. He then lifted his right hand and pressed down ruthlessly.
Just as it was about to land, a dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He lifted his left hand and finally took out the ancient sun.
This was his trump card but its might was too great. Once he used it, the impact would definitely be terrifying. Xu Qing wasn’t confident that he could escape unscathed from the eruption of the ancient sun.
In addition, there was another worry. This was also the reason why Xu Qing only used the Sun of Dawn as a deterrence after coming to the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.
This worry was directly exposed by Ji Dongzi the moment he took out the ancient sun!
“Sun of Dawn!”
“Xu Qing, if you dare to release the Sun of Dawn in my race and destroy my Mountains and Seas Region, it’s equivalent to declaring war on the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven!”
“According to our race’s character, we will send troops to the human race immediately because you are a human. Because the Sun of Dawn is a regional treasure of your human race!”
“If you don’t use the Sun of Dawn, only you will die; if you use it, you’ll still die and the human race will have to die with you!”
“Xu Qing, do you dare?!
Ji Dongzi’s expression was distorted. Although anger filled his heart, he still maintained a certain level of calmness and directly pointed out the worries in Xu Qing’s heart. At the same time, the hand he lifted didn’t stop at all and slammed down.
However, the appearance of the Sun of Dawn still made him feel fear. Even though he still attacked, he restrained some strength and was on guard.
Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew back.
He didn’t detonate the ancient sun.
It wasn’t because of Ji Dongzi’s words. In reality, Xu Qing’s goal in taking out the ancient sun wasn’t to detonate it but to intimidate.
He was telling Ji Dongzi that he had a trump card that could allow him to perish together with him.
It was to make the other party feel a sense of worry.
This concern would shake the other party’s persistence in giving chase.
Seeing that it was effective, Xu Qing was expressionless. He hung the ancient sun on his body and ruthlessly squeezed the soul in his right hand as he retreated.
After Xu Qing fished out the soul, he still held it tightly in his hand. He didn’t destroy it immediately because this was also his trump card.
At that moment, as he clenched his fist, Ji Dongzi’s body trembled and intense pain erupted. His cultivation was also in chaos.
At the next instant, the shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor appeared at the same time. As Purple Moon returned, they bombarded Ji Dongzi.
Xu Qing didn’t slow down and continued to flee.
Ji Dongzi was frustrated and his killing intent became even stronger. With a wave of his hand, regardless of whether it was the shadow or the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, they all flew back. With a sway, he avoided the Purple Moon and continued to pursue.
However, he only chased for dozens of breaths of time. Just as he was about to catch up to Xu Qing, Xu Qing exerted strength in his right hand again and pinched his soul, causing it to show signs of shattering.
The pain erupted from Ji Dongzi’s soul.
Ji Dongzi’s roar became even more heart-rending. Just as he was about to attack, Xu Qing’s eyes turned pitch-black and he abruptly turned his head. The fog of the Poison Restriction appeared out of thin air and spread backward, enveloping Ji Dongzi and corroding him.
After that, he took out a token and transmitted his divine sense.
“Your Majesty, the food is here.”
With that, Xu Qing threw the token and activated it.
However, at the next moment, the token flew over and returned to Xu Qing’s hand. At the same time, a fluctuation spread out.
“Dead divine remains, I’m not eating them. 1 want live food!”
Xu Qing frowned and fled again.
A while later, Ji Dongzi chased after him again. Just as he was about to attack, Xu Qing clenched his right hand again. At the same time, a deep voice rang out.
“The realm of heaven and earth can be likened to a well…”
Ripples appeared in the void.
Ji Dongzi instinctively paused. However, at the next instant, nothing happened. The water ripples dissipated.
Xu Qing couldn’t activate Fishing the Moon From the Well twice in a short period of time. He was only scaring Ji Dongzi. Borrowing the time Ji Dongzi paused, he had already flown further away with all his might. At the same time, he kept pinching the soul in his hand.
Ji Dongzi was about to go crazy. Blood light erupted from his entire body and he was about to pursue again. However, at the next instant, cages rose out of thin air around him. They were none other than D132.
Xu Qing understood human nature. He knew that when a person was first vigilant and later discovered that it was fake, it was often a moment when their instincts relaxed. This was especially so for people who were suffering continuous attacks to their souls. It was much easier for them to lose their rationality.
At this moment, if he used another method, it would have the greatest effect.
This was also the reason why Xu Qing didn’t crush the soul in one go previously. One-time pain was naturally inferior to continuous pain. However, he couldn’t use it many times. This would generate a sense of adaptation to pain. Hence, the best way was to maintain the same degree of strength first and then increase the strength at the critical moment.
D132 descended with a bang and enveloped Ji Dongzi.
At the same time, Xu Qing, who was fleeing rapidly, didn’t even turn his head. He clenched his right hand with all his might and crushed the soul in his hand completely.
The soul shattered and the damage erupted at once.
The divine tablet inside landed in Xu Qing’s hand. After it was enveloped by the divine source in his body, Xu Qing endured his injuries and headed in the direction of the Jiuli Forbidden at full speed.
A while later, when Xu Qing’s figure disappeared into the horizon, the wails of the prisoners rang out from D132. The prison collapsed and shattered into pieces. Ji Dongzi’s disheveled figure dragged a huge finger and rushed out.
His expression was malevolent and filled with pain. The damage caused by the shattering of his soul caused him to feel unbearable pain.
As for the finger, It was also trembling. A face appeared on It, revealing horror as It begged for mercy.
“Don’t kill me. I was forced. I can help you. I’ve long wanted to kill that fiend. Our goals are the same!!”
“Shut up!”
Ji Dongzi shouted and his killing intent grew even more intense. He then chased after Xu Qing..
