Chapter 708: Give Him Up!

"Again."

Qin Jian's vision gradually became blurred; that was a sign of excessive blood loss.

The power of the rule backlash acted directly upon the Spirit; vomiting blood was merely a superficial symptom.

"Qin Jian! You really can't continue anymore!"

Na'er growled, "At worst, we'll just take the risk together!"

"A... again, a few more times, my control is growing stronger..."

Qin Jian muttered, "I have already adapted; there is only a thin layer of membrane left..."

"But your state is no longer enough to support it!"

Before Na'er had finished speaking, Qin Jian's body swayed, nearly falling from the high altitude.

But he still stood firm with great difficulty.

"Huhu..."

He breathed deeply, yet his gaze remained fixed on the sky, on that Trident, and he reached out his hand once more.

"Again..."

The faces of Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Poseixi flashed through his mind one by one, and the blood-red tears at the corners of his eyes suddenly fell.

No matter which side it was, he could not let them down!

"Pu pu pu..."

As if triggering a core rule, at this moment, a mass of blood-colored light suddenly exploded from his body, as if to Devour him.

But his hand remained held in the void, facing that Trident...

"Hum!"

At this very moment, the aura on his body suddenly rose rapidly, nearly doubling compared to when he was at level 98.

Level 99!

"Boom!"

As if it were an eruption after being suppressed to the extreme, a phantom of the Trident was suddenly twisted.

Strange powers intertwined; at this instant, it felt as if the entire world were twisting, making everyone feel so uncomfortable they wanted to vomit.

Only Qin Jian looked up at the sky alone, fiercely clenching his palm into a fist: "Give me! Stop! ——"

"Boom—!"

The thunderclouds filling the sky suddenly dispersed, the gale stalled, and then swept in the opposite direction.

In a brief instant, the entire sky changed from lightning and thunder to clear skies and light clouds, as if that scene from before had never appeared.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!..."

Only that huge Trident phantom remained above Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, but it had stalled!

Countless illusory golden streams of light swirled around the Trident, preventing it from continuing to descend.

"I... succeeded..."

Qin Jian looked over through his blood-blurred eyes; sure enough, the suppression on Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had disappeared.

"Brother!" "Brother Jian!"

The two flew over simultaneously, but were blocked by the light pillar on the periphery.

They slapped the light screen hard, but could not break free.

"Don't be anxious... I have only brought this space to a standstill; from now on, even the Sea God cannot carry out Divine Punishment..."

Qin Jian flew forward, but suddenly stopped his steps.

He lowered his head and sniffed; there was a pungent smell of blood.

"I shouldn't let it stink up my Rongrong and Xiao Wu..."

He shook his head and smiled, Water Element surging on his body, gradually washing away the blood aura from himself.

"No... it won't..."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu shook their heads repeatedly, their eyes blurred with tears.

Although they had been unable to make a sound before, they had seen every scene with their own eyes and naturally knew how difficult it was for Qin Jian to reach this point.

At this time, the cleaned-up Qin Jian had flown back over, looking at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu across the light screen.

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, wait for me..."

He looked at the two girls and smiled slightly, as if he were confident of success: "This Divine Power seal is only temporary; soon, I will help you undo it."

"Mm!"

The two nodded incessantly.

"Brother Jian, if it really doesn't work, just as Xiao Wu said, we can give our Spirit to you," Ning Rongrong pursed her lips and said, "Don't always think about carrying it yourself; we can share the burden for you."

Qin Jian just looked at them with a smile, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Qin Jian..."

Poseixi slowly flew to his side, her expression still not calm: "How... how could you have such power..."

Whether it was his stubborn insistence on stopping the Divine Punishment just now, or his touchingly unwilling desire to let her die, it made her unable to calm her violently beating heart.

Qin Jian turned his head and smiled slightly: "My power is indeed very strong, but it is precisely because it is strong that it makes the gods covet it; otherwise..."

He pointed to the Trident phantom: "Where do you think these messy things came from?"

"Watch your tongue!" Poseixi said nervously.

Qin Jian smiled indifferently: "After this whole ordeal, it's practically out in the open; what else is there to hide? I'd like to see what else is waiting for me later."

"They can only wait here for now, right?"

Poseixi asked: "What do you plan to do? Are you going to find a way to become a god and return to save them?"

Qin Jian took her hand and said softly, "Sister, accompany me back to the Dalu; I will accompany you to walk around for a while longer during this time."

The parting that had to happen still had to happen, but he hoped to transition it, not to give Poseixi too great a shock.

In case she wanted to give up struggling again, like Tang Chen...

Then he would regret it for his entire life!

Sometimes, people who are so persistent for a lifetime are more easily destroyed, so he was cautious.

Poseixi nodded, not understanding why: "Okay, wherever you want to go, I will go."

"Brother Jian."

Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up.

Qin Jian looked over and saw her face full of worry: "Brother Jian, you... it's the final trial, you must be careful yourself!"

"Mm, rest assured, I also have a backup plan..."

Qin Jian was halfway through his sentence when his whole body suddenly shook.

"Hum hum!"

The blood-red light between his brows flickered once again!

His expression changed drastically: "It's here again! This time it is..."

Qin Jian's gaze followed his intuition toward the north: "Bing'er and Huo Wu!"

"Did something happen to them too?!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who knew the properties of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, reacted immediately.

"Another life-or-death crisis..."

Qin Jian clenched his fists: "I hope it won't be another choice..."

"Sister, we cannot go to the Dalu for now; I must go to the Frost Forest in the north of the Dalu," he said, looking up at Poseixi.

"It doesn't matter, I will go with you," Poseixi said without hesitation.

Qin Jian nodded and turned back to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu again: "Wait for me."

The two, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, nodded, hiding their worry deep in their eyes: "Go quickly."

"Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the loud noises, Qin Jian and Poseixi set off on their journey again.

Everyone on Sea God Island looked at this scene in confusion, completely unable to understand what had happened.

"Rongrong, Brother will be fine, right?"

Once Qin Jian's figure had completely disappeared, Xiao Wu finally asked, unable to hide her worried expression.

But Ning Rongrong only looked toward the north, murmuring: "I don't know either..."

"Hum!"

Just at this moment, a Divine Sense suddenly descended.

"He did not choose you for the sake of Poseixi, whom he had only just met, and now he has left for the sake of other women; don't you feel it is not worth it?"

The Divine Sense transmitted sound into both their ears simultaneously: "Why be attached to such a man? With your talent, you are completely worthy of better."

"Give him up; if you give him up, you can become gods."
