"Since you hate your brother so much, I’ll send him to the Yellow Springs right now, satisfying your wish!" the monster said, revealing a cruel expression.
Like a flash of lightning, it had already appeared before Xu Ziming, its enormous wolf claw shooting out, ready to split open Xu Ziming’s belly and gouge out his heart.
With a thud, the wolf claw pierced through a body. Xu Ziming stared dumbfounded at the woman who had shielded him, his eyes filled with despair.
"This ti, this ti you can’t dodge anymore!" Xu Hui said with a voice as thin as a thread, her eyes no longer cold but filled with tenderness.
"No!" Xu Ziming howled heart-wrenchingly, caressing Xu Hui’s face with his trembling hands, his mind flooded with mories.
Xu Hui had always called him a coward, and she wasn’t wrong; he indeed was a coward, fleeing all his life. Since he failed to break through, he had always avoided these feelings, never daring to face his own heart until this mont when it seed he understood everything, but the beautiful woman was gone, leaving only regrets.
Perhaps because he could finally confront his own failures and his feelings, he suddenly felt one with the world, with the weeping land of Zhongzhou.
Countless figures flashed before Xu Ziming’s eyes, those who were born and died here.
A long howl sounded, Primordial Qi surged, crazily entering Xu Ziming’s body. He, who appeared middle-aged monts prior, instantly beca young, a majestic aura erupting from his body, dispersing the dark clouds and casting the bright moonlight upon the land.
"Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt, Brother Xu really did it!" Jiang Ze stared dumbstruck at the Primordial Qi between heaven and earth, shocked by the scene.
Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt, this was a scene only heard of in legends; throughout Great Chen, no one was known to have achieved Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt. Many believed it to be nothing more than a myth from ancient tis.
Xu Jianglin furrowed his brows. He wanted to rush forward and kill Xu Ziming, but the vast Primordial Qi ford a giant vortex, preventing him from breaking through.
Soon, the phenonon vanished. A young Xu Ziming stood in the void, his white clothes fluttering, exuding an aura of integrity and righteousness.
"Jiang Ze, hurry up and leave!" Xu Ziming’s voice ca from above, causing Jiang Ze to hesitate montarily.
"After all, it was a miss. Your vital energy is insufficient; your Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt is ultimately an illusion," Xu Jianglin remarked, discerning the truth. Despite Xu Ziming’s breakthrough, age was against him; he had missed the pri opportunity.
If there were Peach Immortal Pills or such divine objects, he could replenish his foundations, but unfortunately, there were none, and Xu Jianglin would not let such an enemy escape.
"Leave now!" Xu Ziming urged once more. Jiang Ze looked up at Xu Ziming, floating in the air, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave the battlefield, knowing if he stayed, he would only be a burden.
Just as the monster was about to pursue Jiang Ze, thunder roared in the sky; a bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck it fiercely, halting its assault.
"This is our fight!" Xu Ziming said softly.
"Heh, I never expected to see soone capable of Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt in this remote place. The thought of killing you fills with extraordinary excitent!" the monster licked its claw, speaking eagerly.
A fierce battle erupted in an instant, Xu Ziming shedding his usual deanor and charging at the monster, undaunted by its formidable body, clashing hundreds of tis in the blink of an eye.
The monster was secretly shocked; it hadn’t expected Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishnt to so greatly enhance Xu Ziming’s physical strength upon his first step into it.
However, Xu Ziming knew his own condition. Despite appearing impressive, he was rely sustaining on the vast Primordial Qi from the mont of Foundation Establishnt. His inadequate foundations caused his Tao Foundation to be filled with cracks, unable to endure for long.
As ti passed, Xu Ziming’s breath gradually began to weaken, and fresh blood incessantly seeped from the corner of his mouth.
At that mont, Xu Ziming suddenly laughed, a smile that sowhat unsettled the monster.
"Just" when Xu Ziming leaped out of the battlefield, he ford a hand seal, and only then did the monster realize that, unbeknownst to it, Xu Ziming had used his own blood to draw an array.
The array activated, the sky churned with wind and clouds, and endless Heavenly Thunder fell continuously from the sky, turning the area of the array into a Thunder Pond.
The monster let out a loud roar, its scales shining with an obscure light, forming an invisible protective shield.
However, under the Heavenly Thunder, this protective shield was exceptionally fragile, and soon shattered, countless bolts of thunder striking the monster’s body, causing its breath to weaken gradually.
Just then, the monster suddenly transford back into human form, only to see him weakly shouting, "Brother!"
This cry of "Brother" caused Xu Ziming to stagger, as he seed to see again that little fellow who had followed him from childhood, making faces at him and emitting joyful laughter from his mouth.
Blood poured continuously from his mouth, and he knew he had reached his limit; looking at that familiar face, he managed a bitter smile: "I have, after all, left this calamity in the mortal world!"
Xu Ziming descended from the sky and slowly landed next to Xu Hui, gently holding her cold hand; just like that, he closed his eyes.
Soon, the soul and spirit left their bodies, exchanged smiles, and, following the True Spirit’s guidance, headed towards Izumo Mountain.
Xu Jianglin watched the two departing figures with a very complex look in his eyes but made no attempt to stop them.
"General, what has happened here?" Blackback burst in from the outside, seeing the ss all around and couldn’t help asking.
"It’s nothing much, just a group of people who don’t know whether they’re alive or dead trying to assassinate !" Xu Jianglin said nonchalantly.
Blackback looked at the corpses lying on the ground and said, "Indeed, they overestimated themselves. General, I will throw these bodies to the Wolf Guards to let them die without a whole corpse."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jianglin turned around and looked at Blackback with a terrifying gaze that made Blackback break out in a cold sweat, wondering how he had offended this personage again.
"Give them a proper burial, and, as for that man and woman, bury them together and erect a tombstone!" Xu Jianglin ordered in a tone Blackback had never heard before. Discover hidden tales at empire
Blackback quickly agreed, calling the soldiers outside to co and clean up the battlefield.
Xu Jianglin walked alone to a small hill next to the military camp, his heart filled with thoughts unknown.
"There’s actually a freak like you in this world!" an abrupt voice rang out.
Xu Jianglin turned his head and saw a person in red clothing appear on the hill.
"One body with dual soul-entity, half-human, half-demon. Truly unheard of!" The visitor looked Xu Jianglin up and down, marveling with admiration.
