Chapter 718: Hunyuan Bell Tempering Qi Songbai
"All methods are useless."
"Why bother."
Chen Chuyang crossed his arms, looked calmly at Qi Songbai, and spoke mockingly.
Inside the Hunyuan Bell, everyone is the same; the transformed Hunyuan Bell can at any moment advance to a sacred artifact.
Corpse qi or grievance qi, all the various auras on Qi Songbai, are devoured by the Hunyuan Bell; after being swallowed, they turn into its own energy and, in turn, suppress Qi Songbai.
Qi Songbai dared to attack the Hunyuan Bell and naturally suffered the Bell's recoil; this is the Hunyuan Bell's passive attack.
It retaliates automatically without Chen Chuyang's prompting; if Chen Chuyang were to trigger it, the power would be far greater.
"How does the Hunyuan Bell's attack feel?"
Chen Chuyang asked with a smiling squint, his eyes full of contempt; Qi Songbai, seeing this, was incensed.
"You bastard, you deserve death; I will definitely kill you, you ruined my Advancement, stole my spiritual vein, you deserve death."
"I will shred your corpse into ten thousand pieces, and you shall never be reborn for eternity."
Qi Songbai, unwilling to give up, gathered corpse qi again, preparing to attack.
Chen Chuyang shook his head, urging, "I advise you not to act; otherwise, I cannot guarantee what fate will befall you."
With a fingertip press, the Hunyuan Bell turned.
"Buzz."
The Hunyuan Bell's body vibrated once, emitting a deafening sound.
That sound shot straight at the soul; Qi Songbai's soul was already very weak, one of his vulnerabilities, and after taking this soul attack, his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground.
He clasped his head with both hands, continuously emitting a mournful wail, even striking the ground with his head.
A bang‑bang vibration sound rang out; after dozens of successive impacts, the Hunyuan Bell's vibration ceased, and Qi Songbai finally exhaled, his corpse qi being drawn away again, leaving him even more exhausted.
He lifted his head, glaring at Chen Chuyang with venomous resentment; the Hunyuan Bell enveloped him, rendering him immobile.
He could not even approach Chen Chuyang, let alone kill the kid.
"Aaah!"
Qi Songbai, raving, hammered the ground fiercely, staring intently at Chen Chuyang.
If a gaze could kill, Chen Chuyang would have died countless times.
"You... who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Qi Songbai realized their disparity; Chen Chuyang was a person he had never seen nor heard of such a figure.
The world's limit is the True Person pinnacle, yet this kid...
Unfathomably deep; up to now, Qi Songbai still cannot discern Chen Chuyang's true strength.
His words seemed to ask Chen Chuyang, but also to question Li Shenghong, and at the same time, to ask Heishanyang.
Heishanyang sneered coldly, "Qi Songbai, I advise you to obey and not stubbornly resist."
Qi Songbai heard this and scoffed, "Ha ha ha, you little brute, you dare act rashly before me; if it hadn't been me back then, you would have died long ago."
Heishanyang was not angry at all, saying calmly, "The past is the past, the present is the present; I am not the same as before."
I have found a reliable patron; with a backing, why should I still fear you?
Back then, Heishanyang entered the Qihuang Bao Ku to escape disaster, so he naturally knew of this person's existence, but they never met; Heishanyang was aware of Qi Songbai's danger and kept hiding, later finding a chance to escape the Qihuang Bao Ku.
Regarding Qi Songbai, Heishanyang was not afraid at all, nor grateful.
"Now you, I am the victor."
Heishanyang stood beside Chen Chuyang, swaggering.
Qi Songbai's veins bulged, his qi and blood roiled around him, nearly exploding.
"Pfft."
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
Heishanyang clicked his tongue, laughing, "Bleeding, huh? How miserable."
"Kid, you'd better kill him quickly; this person can't be left alive, he might have a backup move."
From afar, Li Shenghong added, "Indeed, Qi Songbai has many tactics and many hidden cards; it's best to deal with him swiftly."
Li Shenghong is the one who most does not want Qi Songbai alive; once he dies, everything ends.
His identity, his future, can be obstructed by no one.
From then on, Li Shenghong no longer needs to live in fear.
In this world, only Qi Songbai can find him and threaten him.
Heishanyang urged, "Kid, don't hesitate; he's no longer a normal human, but a zombie body."
"If this person is released, the danger coefficient is very high."
"If you take him back to Longshe Shan, I'm afraid you cannot... subdue him; it would only make him bear a grudge."
If an accident occurs, it won't be good.
Although Longshe Shan is safe, one must still prepare for the unlikely.
Heishanyang fears not ten thousand, but the one in a million.
Chen Chuyang nodded, "You speak well; indeed, it makes sense."
His gaze fell again on Qi Songbai, and Chen Chuyang instantly gathered true qi.
The Hunyuan Bell spun faster, its massive suction extracting the corpse qi on Qi Songbai, which vanished quickly.
The remaining corpse qi was reduced to less than one fifth.
Qi Songbai, unwilling to have his corpse qi taken, fought back forcefully, but his resistance was futile.
"No."
"Kid, you cannot kill me."
"Kill me, the Great Qi Dynasty will not spare you."
Qi Songbai struggled before death, the Hunyuan Bell drew away all corpse qi, leaving not a trace of corpse qi on his body.
He will indeed die.
Death is right before his eyes.
Seeing death once again, Qi Songbai knew Chen Chuyang truly had the ability to kill him.
A zombie body is not truly immortal; it can be destroyed, after all, he has not yet entered the Indestructible Bone stage.
This body has many weaknesses.
"Now you know fear? It's useless, Qi Songbai, you can go on your way in peace."
"Hunyuan Bell, refine."
The Hunyuan Bell drew out corpse qi, drawing out all his vital blood.
Everything within his body became food for the Hunyuan Bell.
Pill Fire burned.
A strand of Pill Fire burned on his body, the Pill Fire that combined many flames, burning his flesh while also burning his soul.
"No!"
"Don't kill me."
"No."
Miserable cries, the shrill pleas for mercy echoed.
Chen Chuyang watched coldly, seeing Qi Songbai off to his death.
Before death, Qi Songbai left harsh words.
"Junior, I curse you to die a bad death, I curse you to never be able to seek the Great Dao."
"Junior, I am waiting for you."
"Hum."
The zombie body was melted by Pill Fire.
The last trace was also absorbed by the Hunyuan Bell.
Leaving no trace behind.
Corpse and soul alike became food for the Hunyuan Bell.
From then on, Qi Songbai fell.
This ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years, the first-generation Qi Emperor, thus bade farewell to this world.
Li Shenghong personally witnessed this scene, still somewhat unable to believe it.
"Qi Songbai is dead."
"Finally dead, after thousands of years, he has finally been killed."
He closed his eyes and exhaled a breath.
His whole body relaxed, and after a moment, Li Shenghong revealed a faint smile.
His long-held expectation was finally fulfilled.
