Chapter 214: 141. Kill Kou Chun, the Demon from Outside the Domain (5K Big Chapter)_3
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was an unbelievable tale.
"Wu Xing?"
Hearing this, Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi, who was confronting him, deepened his gaze. He wasn’t some foolish man. He knew very clearly what his son’s name was. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the Blood Change Realm Martial Artist in front of him is my lost illegitimate son, Wu Xing. Moreover, at my realm, I can vaguely sense the blood flowing in Xu Xing’s body shares my origin.
He had originally planned to temporarily withdraw due to his insufficient strength, but he changed his mind at this moment and chose to stay.
Good! This is a good thing! A stroke of luck amidst misfortune! Whether it’s the Two Great Demon Immortals or Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi, they are both a threat to me. The only difference is that Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi wants my life, while the Two Great Demon Immortals want to seize my opportunities.
Although Demon Immortal Kou Chun still had doubts in his heart, Xu Xing’s arrival was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him. Xu Xing, whom I raised since childhood, is like a blank sheet of paper for me to freely paint on. Even though Xu Xing’s breakthrough speed is fast, I don’t believe he would be against me. With Xu Xing’s strength, although he cannot contend with the Two Great Demon Immortals and Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi, his entry, along with my help as his master... after Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi withdraws, it will undoubtedly allow me much more room to maneuver in negotiations with the Two Great Demon Immortals, preventing me from losing too many benefits.
Thinking this, Kou Chun’s soul shrank into the Carp Dragon Flying Sword and, with a flicker, appeared beside Xu Xing.
"Xing Er, don’t resist. Let my Lifebound Flying Sword hide in your Sea of Consciousness," Kou Chun said via sound transmission via divine consciousness.
The Carp Dragon Flying Sword was a Soul Treasure he had cultivated, different from ordinary Artifacts. It could hide in a person’s Sea of Consciousness, completely concealed from outsiders.
"Alright, Master."
Xu Xing nodded, pretending to release the defenses of his Sea of Consciousness.
Thus, the Carp Dragon Flying Sword shrank and began to drill into Xu Xing’s brow. However, just as the Carp Dragon Flying Sword had entered halfway, a tremendous surge of blood-qi instantly flooded Xu Xing’s brow, rushing towards the Carp Dragon Flying Sword.
Before becoming a Yang God, an Yin God greatly feared the blood-qi of a Warrior. More importantly, Xu Xing’s blood-qi was the cultivated Azure Dragon’s Blood.
After a few waves of blood-qi washed over it, Kou Chun’s Yin Soul, hidden deep within the Carp Dragon Flying Sword, was instantly reduced to half its original strength by Xu Xing’s sneak attack. Then, Xu Xing struck Kou Chun’s Yin Soul with a Shocking Spirit Pierce.
"Who are you really?"
Under the protection of the Carp Dragon Flying Sword, Kou Chun still clung to his last breath; he wasn’t directly obliterated by the blood-qi.
At this moment, I realize that Xu Xing might not be the ’Wu Xing’ I thought he was. Either someone is pretending to be ’Wu Xing,’ or ’Wu Xing’ himself is not simple.
"The one who will kill you."
Xu Xing wasted no words. Drawing on his Divine Soul Power, he continuously unleashed Shocking Spirit Pierces.
A Ghost Immortal at the Late stage of the Seven Catastrophes, in terms of soul strength, is approximately at the Late Immortal Foundation Stage. With my Immortal Foundation Middle Stage soul, it would be difficult for me to harm Kou Chun. But I have my innate Yan Shen Body, so my Shocking Spirit Pierce cannot be measured by the standards of others at the Same Stage. In addition, Kou Chun has reached his limit and is no longer at his peak.
"No matter who you are, as long as we haven’t become mortal enemies, we can negotiate! I obtained a Cultivation Method called the "Cauldron Heart Technique" at Moyun Palace. You’ve also seen my battle with Wuyi; it can reverse the position of the Divine Soul and allow one to escape alive—"
Seeing his Yin Soul about to be destroyed, Kou Chun hurriedly begged Xu Xing for mercy.
However, before he could finish his words, blood-qi completely penetrated the Carp Dragon Flying Sword, and his Yin Soul was scoured into oblivion.
A dazzling pearl and a greatly damaged Flying Sword then came to rest in Xu Xing’s Sea of Consciousness.
A nascent thought that was about to become a Yang God. And a Soul Treasure. A huge gain indeed!
Xu Xing was overjoyed. Although he was slightly tempted by Kou Chun’s words about the "Cauldron Heart Technique," he had a complete cultivation inheritance in the Main World and was not lacking in Cultivation Methods. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he resolved to eliminate Kou Chun, this great enemy.
If Kou Chun had a chance to react... who knows if he left any hidden tricks in the "Carp Dragon Change" he cultivated that could counteract me? Moreover, Kou Chun obtained his inheritance from Demon Emperor You Taigu at Moyun Palace. I just need to enter Moyun Palace again; I can afford to wait that long.
「At the same time Xu Xing was annihilating Kou Chun’s Yin Soul.」
「On the other side, tens of thousands of miles from Yujing, in a Dragon King Temple.」
Inside the temple, one of Kou Chun’s soul fragments gradually awakened within the Dragon King Clay Statue. His face was cold as he gazed towards Yujing. It seems I have failed... But it’s understandable to lose to Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi; he’s no ordinary Warrior. Now I’m just waiting for Wu Xing to come. I wouldn’t even part with a single drop of the Azure Dragon’s Blood. A sarcastic smile touched his lips. To have Wu Xing kill his father, Wuyi, with his own hands—patricide! The very thought is exhilarating!
However, before Kou Chun could ponder further, an array technique suddenly activated within the Dragon King Temple. Surging energies of fire and wood rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the Dragon King Temple became a raging inferno.
An array technique? A Killing Formation aimed at me?
The well-informed Kou Chun looked horrified, but before he could retreat, this soul fragment, much weaker than his main body, was instantly burned to ashes by the spiritual fire, utterly and irrevocably dead.
「Yujing City, three hundred miles northwest of the suburbs.」
Kou Chun... seems to be dead? How is that possible?
While Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun and Blood Snake King Dai Feng were confronting Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi, she suddenly discovered that a wisp of her Divine Sense, which she had placed on Kou Chun’s Yin Soul, had been annihilated. Along with it, the aura of Demon Immortal Kou Chun had vanished.
Her almond-shaped eyes instantly fixed on Xu Xing. "Where is your Master? Did you betray and kill him?"
I can’t be sure, though. Kou Chun might have some means to fake his death and escape my perception. So, it’s just a question for now. As long as even a hint of Kou Chun’s aura reveals itself, my hostility as the Heavenly Fox King will immediately dissipate. In such matters, we Demon Immortals must be cautious. There have been far too many instances of Yin Souls like ours being extinguished during their ’reincarnation.’
"To be frank with the Heavenly Fox King," Xu Xing began, perfectly calm and unperturbed as he casually spun a lie, "just now, while you were confronting each other, my Master already escaped using a contingency he had left with me. Otherwise... why would Lady Xiang Jun think my Master would dare to challenge Shooting Sun Marquis in Yujing?"
He continued, "As for the items the Heavenly Fox King and Blood Snake King seek, my Master said they can be retrieved from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace after three years. This is the token."
With that, he tossed the Dragon Scale Token, a gift from the East Sea Dragon King, to Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun.
This Dragon Scale Token is nothing but trouble. I don’t want to keep it on me; this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of this hot potato.
"The East Sea Dragon King’s token?"
Seeing this Dragon Scale Token in Xu Xing’s hand, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun was somewhat skeptical. Although the East Sea Dragon King isn’t among the Top Ten Demon Immortals, his strength far surpasses theirs. He’s a reclusive powerhouse. Besides, Kou Chun is such a clever man... If this person truly had a change of heart, Kou Chun would never have approached him so readily. Talk of master-slaying is too absurd. Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun thought to herself.
Compared to Xu Xing’s words, she was more inclined to believe that Kou Chun was not so easily dealt with. How could the great Demon Immortal Kou Chun come to Shenjing without preparing any contingencies? His earlier escape from Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi by reversing his Divine Soul was proof enough of that.
