BXBX NOVEL Chapter 701 - Death Gate Destroyed
Gong Xinran didn’t die from this, only feeling that her left chest was extremely painful.
At this moment, the stone pillar behind her would be easily broken if it was a different time period.
She had a good grasp of Earth and Wind Shield Techniques, even without using seals and incantations she could craft them.
However, she couldn’t move. The sword in her chest sealed off all her Energy Meridians. Even her Soul Power was sealed too.
Not to mention spells, she couldn’t even move her limbs.
She was also unable to calm down. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have felt any pain just an hour after reviving.
A heart stabbing pain, a bone-deep ache!
She looked forward in shock, only seeing Zong Shou’s ice-cold eyes filled with only killing intent.
Her heart couldn’t help but tense up. As her heart muscles and the blade rubbed against one another, she felt intense pain.
How did this happen?
Gong Xinran could feel that she seemed to recall something, but she couldn’t remember the specifics.
Zong Shou’s brow rose, feeling slightly weird. In that instant, he actually saw emotions from her eyes, like she had come back to life.
Following this, he shook his head and knew that it was most probably an illusion. This was only the case because he had some hope and couldn’t bear to see her like this.
He waved his hand and the sky full of black flames swept over.
It merged three types of lightning and the Lu Family Sky Burning Flame, forming the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash.
The strength of this technique was rare in the world and it was great to purify dead corpses!
However, when the black flames reached her, Zong Shou frowned. Although he had locked her Soul Power and Death Energy, she had ability to repel the burn.
She had something similar to the Indestructible Body of the Buddhist Sect, being comparable to an Intermediate Xuan Grade, even High-Grade Spiritual Metal. Several breaths later, it only burnt most of her flesh and muscles.
However, at this moment, her body suddenly had a weird force which bounced back.
It didn’t go up against the black flame but regenerated her body a crazy rate.
Gong Xinran’s body would recover whatever the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash destroyed. They came to a deadlock as neither side was budging.
Just as Zong Shou was hesitating whether or not to use the White Hole Dharma to totally finish her, Bai Ruo spoke from above.
“Ruler, this woman is the Netherworld Princess! She is different from normal Death Witches and her body is indestructible. If she wants, she can’t be destroyed, even in half a month. Ruler, try using this item!”
A few golden lights landed. Zong Shou reached out and picked them up.
There were six red nails roughly half a foot long. Each was as thick as a thumb and had numerous words carved on them.
Zong Shou recognised this item.
“Evil Destroying Heart Locking Nail?”
It was a little different from the set he saw in the future.
This was crafted from 1000-year peach wood and it seemed to have gone through lightning strikes as a portion of it was charred black.
The reason why it was red all over would be because it was bathed in the blood of Spiritual Beasts.
What was carved on it wasn’t Taoist words, but Confucian Scriptures, the size of a fly. Threads of vast Righteous Energy was hidden within.
He could sense that it was even stronger than the ones those six Vast Qingxuan Warriors used just now.
His eyes lit up as this was a good item to wipe out evil.
He knew how to use this item so he didn’t hesitate, pinning a long nail into the center of her palm.
Gong Xinran frowned, she couldn’t suppress it and scoffed coldly. She could feel a twitching pain in her heart.
Memories rose up into her mind once more. She remembered that she died this way on Demon Corpse Mountain...
Being cheated, nailed onto a tree by blades and being tortured...
It was this person who saved her and took revenge for her.
Just as she was recalling, pain broke her thoughts. Her left palm was also pierced onto a stone wall.
In medicine, the palm represent the heart, one of the five hearts a human had. To Cultivators, the Soul Heart at the center of the eyebrows was most important. The head of the Six Hearts!
Locking down these Six Hearts, one would be able to destroy all evil corpses.
Zong Shou knew that the Nameless Sword which could absorb souls and the flames around him wouldn’t be weaker than this nail.
When those two-foot nails were pinned, all that was left was the center of her eyebrows.
However, Zong Shou hesitated.
When this was nailed in, she would return to dust.
There would be no traces of Gong Xinran anymore
“Ruler...”
A voice spread from behind, it was Gong Yue. His tone was filled with panic like he wanted to persuade but was also suppressing himself.
Zong Shou calmed himself down and with his mind made up, he solemnly pinned down.
Her pupils constricted and then she calmly accepted death. Naturally, when one revived, one wouldn’t be afraid of death anymore.
The White Bone Relic once again appeared at her brow, layers of grey and white energy blocking.
Soft explosions erupted as the Evil Destroying Heart Locking Nail broke through layer by layer.
Right as he was about to reach her brow, Zong Shou frowned.
He saw an extremely strong and barbaric power spread from the Death Gate!
Even if it passed through the Life and Death two worlds’ suppression, it was still extremely strong.
It was a spear shadow which pierced through space, filled with Death Energy as it thrust forward.
It used the stabbing technique, but because the spear was so huge, it became something similar to a giant mountain with a cone shape.
It was more like something smashing than something stabbing.
Zong Shou frowned and instinctively took out his sword to block.
A loud explosion erupted and suddenly he felt his organs tearing apart. He was forced back 100,000 feet by this power. The stone pillar, mountains and particles in the air that were in his path were all wiped out.
When he settled, his body was surrounded in black fog Death Energy. His eyes couldn’t see and his Spiritual Sense couldn’t be spread out much.
This time it wasn’t a secret technique to seal six senses but that the Death Energy was too thick!
It was so thick that the ground below was melting into dust!
Zong Shou’s brow rose up, gathering his intent and searching toward where Gong Xinran and the other two were.
His heart moved and he sensed imminent danger.
“Oh?”
An extremely sharp intent exploded 100 feet from behind him.
It was extremely sudden and a blade shadow headed right for the back of his head.
The aura was strong, much stronger than basic Spirit Realm Experts. True Qi and Soul Power exploded together, even reaching Celestial Realm.
“Demon Assassin Sect? Spirit Killing Sword?”
A secret technique that needed 18,000 baby hearts to cultivate, killing 10,000 types of living beings to perfect.
The day it was completed, its speed would only be slower than the Demon Sunflower Sword but harder to track and find.
If one strike didn’t land, the person would retreat 1,000 miles!
The sword body arrived when Zong Shou’s organs were broken and True Qi was chaotic.
The black-colored shadow’s eyes were cold and filled with contempt.
It was like it was mocking Zong Shou for being unable to hide from the Spirit Killing sword despite him being allegedly unrivalled.
Zong Shou’s eyes flashed and his lips curled. Did the opponent really think he didn’t have any other trump cards?
Coincidentally, at this moment, Spiritual Sense couldn’t get close and he could use secret techniques instead.
He spread out his Spiritual Sense, causing this small space to suddenly settle down. It was only 30 feet and it only stopped for just an instant, but it was enough!
The Nameless Sword stabbed backward. It started off late but arrived earlier, no traces of it could be found. In an instant, it pierced right through the forehead of the owner of the blade.
When the Nameless Sword was pulled back, the black-robed man’s face was filled with disbelief.
Only his soul was sucked by the sword, what was left was an empty shell which fell to the ground.
Zong Shou couldn’t care less and walked forward toward Gong Xinran.
Using this person’s soul, his Soul Ocean burned a green flame once more.
Although his injuries weren’t recovered, his Soul Power was full. A Spirit Realm Demon Cultivator’s vital energy was gathered within the sword body.
The 30,000 feet pure black wings flapped and with a spell, a huge storm rose up and chased away the Death Energy around him.
His internal energy boiled like he didn’t fear the excessive consumption, merging with the Soul Realm Sword Intent and charging into the clouds.
It was matchless and vast!
When he took ten steps, the black fog and Death Energy mostly dissipated.
He could spread his Soul Power, allowing him to barely see the situation opposite.
Lianer had recovered his half of his body and was pulling out the nail in her right hand.
Two of the four nails were already removed.
When he saw Zong Shou arrive, he instantly shouted out in fear. He instinctively threw the peach wood nail in his hands and then swiftly escaped with Gu Mie who was unable to move at all.
Gong Xinran’s body turned into 10,000 threads of black energy and dissipated in the air.
Just one breath and she was nowhere to be seen.
Zong Shou’s brow rose up and looked into the sky. He could still sense her aura.
With the appearance of the Nine Yin Death Witch, blood would spread 1,000 miles and tens of millions would be killed.
He had to end this problem once for all to be at ease.
Although she successfully escaped, due to her injuries, she couldn’t get far.
However, he would have to spend some effort.
He turned around to where the Death Gate was.
It was said that all Nine Yin Death Witches were the daughters of the Netherworld Emperor. When they were raised, it was expected that the Netherworld Emperor would protect them.
However, since she had already come into the world, he still interfered. That was unreasonable and breaking the rules...
Even if the few World Venerables acted to wipe him out, it was acceptable.
However, thinking about the relationship between Common People Path and those few people, Zong Shou laughed. He wasn’t hoping for these few to protect him at this crucial moment.
Luckily, the strike just now had destroyed the Death Gate. Gong Xinran left and naturally the Yin Veins that had forcefully gathered below had now dissipated.
The problem here was totally solved. Also, that person couldn’t stop him anymore...
