Chapter 706: Sight Before Death
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Sweat rained down from the forehead of the middle-aged man. He slamd down hard, lighting the red threads hanging around the grave, contracting them inward until they surrounded ng Qi’s pale hand. The nurous small needles flew into the mud as well.
At the sa ti, his right hand beca soft and slippery as he withdrew it with all of his might.
The pale skin twitched, breaking the red lines and sending silver pins flying off. The middle-aged man could only feel a pair of cold, hard tongs pinning his arm, preventing his escape!
Desperate, he flipped his left hand over, showing an old copper mirror inside. The Grand Sun seed to be hidden inside the mirror as it lit up brightly, giving off imnse heat. The old wooden stakes gave off a green glow as well and prevented any dark energy from escaping. The mirror then shone downward.
A beam of light condensed on ng Qi’s hand, making sizzling noises. However, the arm remained as creepy and pale as ever and didn’t seem to be scorched or lted.
The middle-aged man’s heart beat faster as he knew that he had t an extrely frightening zombie. He let the mirror fall, and he pointed out using his index finger that now gave off a red and green glow as if it was made of glass.
Clang!
The finger hit ng Qi’s acupuncture points with a mysterious force, but ng Qi’s body felt like an abnormally hard tal that could not be penetrated.
The eyes of the middle-aged man bulged out as he cried out. “Let go! I just fell and accidentally stuck my hand into your grave. This is all a misunderstanding!
“I’ll buy and burn paper money, or anything you need! Just tell !”
He was so scared that he could not choose his words properly, not caring about embarrassing himself at all. He had wanted to use a big technique, but he feared death now that his hand was controlled by the corpse.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his disciple looking dazed and convulsing with laughter. Seeing this, he shouted. “Little Ru, stop staring! Co and help !”
As soon as he spoke, he felt a heavy force on his right hand as soil flew up, exposing a white figure. His pupils dilated imdiately in shock.
“Bro! No, Dad! Grandpa! Let your grandson go!”
ng Qi’s vital spirit had returned to his body, spreading vitality inside him as death dissipated. The paleness and creepiness disappeared imdiately. He was cool and alert as he stared straight into the eyes of the middle-aged man.
“Grandpa, grandpa, huh...” The middle-aged man was stunned as he saw the sight. The laughter of Little Ru persisted.
“He is alive?”
“Sh*t. I had adventured so much and had my hand captured by zombies nurous tis. I just didn’t expect him to zombify so fast. Now, how can a zombie revive and beco a swordsman instead?”
“Master, I am of the sa generation as this brother.” Little Ru guessed that ng Qi had used a secret technique to hide his vitality in order to experience death. Her two eyes rolled innocently as she stared at her master cheerfully.
The middle-aged man coughed to hide his embarrassnt. “I’m indeed old. Trying to hunt goose but instead getting my eyes pecked. Please let go, brother.”
He just wanted to skip this chapter of events now.
ng Qi stared at him thoughtfully, rembering the experience he had just had. He did see sothing before his “death” but they were not clear, and he was unsure if it was anything related to reincarnation or if it was just his own flashback.
“What was the experience of the others buried here? Did they see those scenes clearly?
“But they have all died...”
The middle-aged man was uncomfortable with ng Qi’s stare, and he would have kneeled if not for the fact that ng Qi was still holding on to him. Fortunately, he soon felt ng Qi letting go of his hand and he retreated accordingly.
“Whenever you go tomb-raiding, has the dead ever written anything on the coffin or the soil? Do they leave anything behind?” ng Qi had an idea and stood up straight without moving or bending his legs and knees.
Most of the people buried here were experts of the Exterior. If they exerted their full power just before death, they could utilize the Force of Heaven and Earth and leave ssages behind.
The middle-aged man was stunned and whispered. “What tomb raider will care about the feeling of the corpse after death...”
However, he restrained his expression and explained solemnly. “All the tombs that I’ve raided had protective spells. They either self-destructed completely or left only a few items. I wasn’t able to see any ssages left behind.”
The mysterious girl, Little Ru, nodded as well. “Even though my master loves to lie, what he said just now did co from the bottom of his heart.”
“Little Ru, it doesn’t seem appropriate to use ‘from the bottom of my heart’ here...” The middle-aged man muttered.
ng Qi stared directly into his eyes to sense any change in his emotions and concluded that he hadn’t lied. He then asked, “Are you from Great Jin Dynasty?”
“Brother, are you from Great Jin Dynasty too?” The middle-aged man suddenly seed emotional and appeared to be staging a show of touching reunion between people from the sa hotown. “I am Song Bingde and I left my hotown for many years, traveling to Southern Wilderness today. Even though I am an Exterior now, I am unable to return to my hotown gloriously to see my relatives and friends...”
“Unable to return ho?” ng Qi asked coldly.
“What cri did he commit?”
Song Bingde sighed and replied. “I raided the tomb of an ancestor of so tribe and was cursed, making unable to leave Southern Wilderness.”
The petite girl Ru mumbled a few tis and gave up talking in the end as she did not want to expose her master.
ng Qi knew that Song Bingde was unreliable and thus considered checking his karma using Jade Virtual Divination’s deduction thod. However, he suddenly felt two strong breaths flying toward them and entering the valley.
“Yi brothers.” Song Bingde was delighted and turned to talk to Ru, “Go hide. Yi ng has been a Peerless Master Pro for years and is almost a grandmaster. His lifespan is near the end, and he must be here to bury himself!”
Ru rolled her eyes at her master. “Yi ng is about to die, but Yi Xin is still alive. They are close and he will definitely choose to look after the tomb. We are both only of the Third Heaven and cannot deal with Peerless Master Pros.”
“That’s true...” Song Bingde whispered. However, his eyes lit up when he saw ng Qi. “There is a true master here that is either Peerless Pro or grandmaster!”
ng Qi ignored his stare, but he listened to their conversation to deduce the identity of the newcors.
The Yi Brothers called themselves Gold-silver Blade. They were notorious masters of the heretical path in Southern Wilderness, top-tier masters of sixth fold Heaven, and had their abode in Huangdang Hill. Although they cannot be considered evil, they acted according to their emotions and had murdered many.
Stepping into the valley, ng Qi saw that the two brothers looked extrely alike. They both had white hair, thick brows, and a hooked nose. One was carrying a golden blade while the other carried a silver long sword. The forr was Yi ng while the latter was Yi Xin.
It was obvious that Yi ng’s breath was weaker than Yi Xin’s, and he seed half dead. Anyone could see that he was dying.
Due to the mist, he only saw ng Qi and the others after he turned the corner. Narrowing his eyes into slits, his breath flared as he shouted.
“Piss off!”
Who would want strangers to watch their death?
Yi ng was in a very bad mood as he was about to die.
Saber Qi flashed across the sky as bloody rocks fell from above like rain. The Vital Spirit of ng Qi felt a golden saber covering the sky and himself.
With a cold hum from him, the valley heated up repeatedly, lting the rocks and the ground. Beams of light fell from the sky, dispersing ng Qi’s breath. They were like sunshine but were, in fact, the swordwill of ng Qi.
Flas appeared on Yi ng’s body, sending him back a few steps. If this was a duel, he would have been suppressed by ng Qi’s montum, exposing his weakness involuntarily.
Yi Xin ran forth with his silver sword, standing next to his brother. He felt the profound and vast montum of the swordsman as well as his sharp swordwill. He estimated that the swordsman was probably a grandmaster.
At this mont, Huang spoke up. “If you destroy this place, Ascendance Tribe will not forgive you!”
The Yi Brothers stopped their attack while ng Qi also restrained his breath. He already had so ideas.
Seeing that ng Qi gave way, the Yi Brothers ventured forth deep into the valley. Song Bingde sighed as he realized that he could not dig the grave.
The young girl Ru bowed to ng Qi while smiling. “We are predestined friends since we t here by chance. How should I address you?”
“Wuming. For both my sword and myself.” ng Qi said casually.
“Hi, Brother Wuming!” Ru had a dimple on her left cheek, but it had no impact on her beauty.
ng Qi felt that Ru was eccentric. She looked naive and young and seed like she was not shrewd. However, she also had a sense of maturity that did not fit her age. ng Qi did not believe that she was younger than him as she was already an Exterior master.
ng Qi pretended to be cold and did not say much, only patiently waiting. After a while, ng Qi sensed the changing Qi and understood that Yi ng had been buried. He walked there and saw the tombstone. Yi ng was full of grief, sitting cross-legged in between the rocks.
“People of the Everlasting Tribe left clues and tokens before they died in order to help people find their reincarnations. Do you intend to wait for your brother to find you by rely sitting here?” ng Qi said casually.
This statent was ground-breaking as Yi Xin stood up at once. “Yes, I need to find his reincarnation based on clues. How can I just wait passively?”
Initially, most Exterior masters who ca to Everlasting Valley copied the behavior of the Everlasting Tribe and buried themselves after they died, leaving no clues and hints behind. After that, people decided that the terrain was the key to reincarnation and they changed it to burial before death, lending the power of the valley for reincarnation. They no longer copied the Everlasting Tribe since the surroundings were utterly destroyed by Blood Sea Rakshasa.
Year after year, no one rembered the matter of clues as if just being buried here would allow reincarnations to co back one day.
Yi Xin stepped out and dispelled the curses and protective spell, stunning Song Bingde in the process. “How did Wuming convince the relative to tomb raid for him?”
After a long ti, the coffin was exposed. Yi Xin took a deep breath and opened it carefully.
Sharp sounds of friction rang and the inside of the coffin was exposed. Song Bingde stared into it and gasped in shock.
Yi ng was indeed dead, but his eyes were widened in bewildernt, sending a shiver down everyone’s spine.
ng Qi and Yi Xin used their spirit to sense the coffin and soon realized the carved words on the coffin.
“I saw another myself...”
“Another myself...” ng Qi turned solemn at once. “The Everlasting Valley is odd indeed!
“Why didn’t I see it myself, though?
“Was it because I faked my death?”
While he was thinking, he realized that Huang, who had followed him here, was now exhilarated. Huang ran back fast and destroyed Gu’s coffin, attempting to find a ssage to find the reincarnation of his elder.
ng Qi was going to just watch quietly but a sudden sense of danger sparked in his heart. He shouted out involuntarily.
“Stop!”
Huang had already completely lifted the protective spell. The coffin was pushed open from inside and a malicious breath rushed into the sky!
