Chapter 796: Dignity Cannot Exchange for Peace
"It really is like this!"
A faint light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes; his multiple strikes earlier, and Mingnan Shizi's resurrection time and time again, made him think of the Head and the Stone Lion.
So he kept pressing, just to make the opponent explode everything at once when driven to a dead end.
Because... the blessing of a god was the reason Mingnan Shizi could die and resurrect!
To a certain extent, it was the same as the prisoners in Ding Yisaner, immortal and indestructible under the influence of a god.
And to kill Mingnan Shizi, one had to break this blessing.
"Sun Flame Upper God."
Outside the Ding Yisaner cage, the First Prince and the group of humans all saw their expressions change drastically, their breathing rapid.
The Captain, on the other hand, had a flash of disgust and unkindness in his eyes, narrowing them and staring at the giant eye that had appeared in the firmament.
The firmament cracked open a giant fissure, and endless golden light spilled from the fissure, falling in beams onto the clouds and mist, and onto the earth.
The clouds and mist collapsed instantly, not daring to exist.
The magma on the earth froze in an instant, not daring to surge.
All rules here were directly erased, and all laws in this place became illusory.
Before a god, there are no rules.
Only the cold, indifferent pupils emerging from the golden light that could not be looked at directly within the fissure opened in the firmament; there was no emotional fluctuation, calm, high and above.
As if everything under this gaze was dust.
The power of alien quality filled the heavens and earth in an instant, time and space intersected, countless lives seemed to form, only to be extinguished instantly; all possibilities seemed to appear, only to shatter in an instant.
Without beginning or end, without rise or fall.
And under this gaze, forbidden zones... began to appear.
Red vines burning with fire grew from the frozen magma, swaying as faces of sentient beings appeared on them, emitting painful cries; the range continued to expand.
Even more mountains and rivers rose and fell within.
To a certain extent, this was already similar to the power of the Remnant Face, except that the Remnant Face only needed to open and close, and a forbidden zone would definitely appear; this was an irreversible natural phenomenon.
And now, under the gaze of the Sun Flame Upper God, although the forbidden zone had a prototype, it had no foundation; it seemed that once the gaze disappeared, it would also dissipate.
But regardless, the fall of this gaze shocked everything and influenced everyone.
The First Prince and others saw their bodies undergo alienation, the feeling of wailing rising within their bodies, the feeling of pain appearing on their faces uncontrollably.
The Captain, on the other side, seemed to be restraining himself with all his might, letting his body show signs of melting.
Xu Qing's body was also influenced, blurring under the divine eye; all the flesh and blood within his body seemed to radiate a sense of independence in this instant, as if about to separate.
Even more, a large amount of flesh buds grew on his divine-state body, spreading outward.
Ding Yisaner also disintegrated in this gaze, entangled by those red vines.
The divine finger trembled, the entire cage visibly blurring, and within it, Mingnan Shizi, and all the techniques Xu Qing had deployed around him, seemed to have time frozen, stuck between heaven and earth.
And his body finally, at this moment, gathered together again.
Only this time, although he looked as usual, he no longer had that immortal characteristic; his whole person was no longer extraordinary, and his expression appeared twisted, filled with the feeling of having survived a disaster, mixed with madness, staring fixedly at Xu Qing, who was showing signs of alienation.
"On me, there is the blessing of the Sun Flame Upper God; human... under the divine eye, you are nothing but an ant!"
Xu Qing did not pay attention to Mingnan Shizi, nor did he care about the flesh buds growing on his body or the feeling of all flesh and blood becoming independent within his body.
This feeling was not the first time he had experienced it; although it couldn't be called habit, he knew that as long as the source was dissipated, then under the Poison Prohibition, it would at most consume some vitality.
So he raised his head, gazing at the giant eye in the firmament.
Although, a god cannot be looked at directly, Xu Qing's eyes were pitch black, with the Poison Prohibition within, allowing him to gaze to a certain extent.
And in this gaze, Xu Qing took a deep breath; his divine-state body instantly released from his body, and millions of soul threads rapidly roamed outside his body, gathering again to form a new body.
This body was a mud fox!
Tall and astonishing, exactly the same, lifelike.
It was precisely the Goddess Xingyan Upper God.
The moment it formed, Xu Qing's right hand raised, and the token gifted by the mud fox was held high by him.
And under the influence of the Sun Flame's gaze, this token shook violently; the next instant, it radiated endless starlight, enveloping the eight directions while also landing on Xu Qing's body.
Like a star river flowing, the starlight in the surroundings turned into pink flames rising upward.
The might of the Goddess Xingyan rose to the heavens.
Heaven and earth shook, all the red vines quieted down, and the alien quality permeating the world mixed with the power of the Goddess Xingyan; everything appeared to be in opposition.
Thunder seemed to echo in the void, exploding.
This scene left Mingnan Shizi's expression changing instantly.
"Goddess Xingyan... Divine Envoy!!"
It was because Xu Qing, shrouded in star fire, at this moment, seemed to have become a true Goddess Xingyan Divine Envoy, and a high-level one at that.
He stood there, the Goddess Xingyan seeming to become a blessing, continuously circling, continuously rotating, forming a giant whirlpool, rumbling and shaking the void.
Xu Qing was gambling.
He gambled that the high and above god could not possibly truly open its divine eye for a Guixu cultivator; the giant eye that appeared this time was merely a manifestation of the power of blessing.
Even if it gave a blessing, in the god's cognition, Guixu and the mundane were no different.
And to a certain extent, this wasn't all gambling; Xu Qing understood gods better than too many clans.
He knew very well that in such a state, the mud fox formed by his soul threads and the token in its hand, all fused together to form an aura, could act as a protective technique.
Regardless of whether the other side was a true eye or not.
Xu Qing, gambled correctly!
The golden giant eye in the firmament, with its indifferent gaze, focused on Xu Qing, and finally landed on the token.
Subsequently... it slowly closed, and finally the fissure in the firmament began to dissipate, until a moment later, it disappeared completely.
The giant eye, left.
Xu Qing proved his identity, and compared to the highest divine envoy of a god, an insignificant servant could naturally be abandoned.
This scene left Mingnan Shizi's face pale instantly; he looked at the disappeared giant eye, and then looked at Xu Qing; unwillingness, grief and indignation, all kinds of thoughts surged in his heart.
His biggest trump card had no effect in front of the opponent.
His own background, looking at it now, also had no meaning at all.
This was an ending he had never thought of at the beginning; no matter what, he could not have predicted that Xu Qing... was actually a Goddess Xingyan Divine Envoy.
"This matter..."
Mingnan Shizi looked at the First Prince and the others with resentment.
In his view, these people might have known about this, but they had pretended not to know, which caused his judgment to be wrong...
Otherwise, how could he have deliberately waited...
But now it was all too late; having lost the blessing of immortality and his trump card, he thought of Xu Qing's cruelty and ruthlessness earlier, his heart trembling.
So at this moment, without the slightest hesitation, he turned his head suddenly, his blood burning all over his body, unfolding his speed, and sped away toward the distance.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity when the opponent's cage dissipated to escape this place.
The method of teleportation also unfolded in an instant.
But how could Xu Qing let him escape like this? Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Big Brother."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, the four forbidden weapons shone and whistled away.
The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor also appeared from the shadows, speeding closer, his mouth emitting cackling sounds, not knowing if it was to reinforce himself or to intimidate Mingnan Shizi.
Even more, the four suppression fingers formed in the firmament, descending to suppress Mingnan Shizi.
The Captain laughed, his body exploding with blue light in the blink of an eye, spreading across the firmament while forming a sinister giant mouth, like a Heavenly Dog, rushing straight toward Mingnan Shizi.
Blue light enveloped the four directions; the moment Mingnan Shizi's teleportation was about to open, it arrived simultaneously with Xu Qing's divine ability and forbidden weapons.
Xu Qing's figure was also within it, the two of them whistling past in front of Mingnan Shizi.
One dagger slashed fiercely, one giant mouth bit down hard.
They didn't need to speak; they naturally had tacit understanding.
In an instant, Mingnan Shizi resisted with all his might, but no matter how he protected himself, it was ultimately of no avail.
Finally, a miserable scream was emitted; his physical body was pierced by the four forbidden weapons, half of his body was corroded by the blue light, and a wound appeared on his neck.
The head flew up.
On his brow, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was nailed there.
Form destroyed!
But this Mingnan Shizi was indeed extraordinary; facing such slaughter, only his physical body collapsed, but his soul took the opportunity to escape.
As it rapidly reversed, following the eruption of the teleportation, it actually dissipated directly.
Xu Qing didn't care, formed seals and pointed; the four forbidden weapons had surging killing intent, heading straight for the place where he dissipated, as if he had calculated that the opponent would definitely appear there.
The Captain grinned, waved his hand, and five pieces of flesh and blood appeared, unfolding his technique.
The next instant, Mingnan Shizi, who had teleported away, had his soul pulled directly out from the whirlpool formed at the place of disappearance; his expression carried disbelief, and even more, despair, wanting to make a sound.
But it was too late.
The moment he appeared, Xu Qing's four forbidden weapons had already appeared in front of Mingnan Shizi's soul, slashing fiercely toward it.
Long blades sever souls, battle-axes extinguish spirits, tridents end the future, and long spears incinerate the past.
A miserable sound appeared, then immediately dissipated, becoming a final echo.
Spirit destroyed!
The Captain's figure appeared from the blue light, licked the corner of his mouth, and smiled slightly at the First Prince and others in the distance.
And Xu Qing's figure, at this moment, swayed and arrived at the place of Mingnan Shizi's death; he raised his right hand and grabbed toward the void; immediately, forbidden mountains appeared out of thin air from there, gathering above his head.
The forbidden mountains from Mingnan Shizi approached four hundred.
Added to Xu Qing's previous three hundred plus, at this moment, more than seven hundred forbidden mountains rose and fell above him, their momentum supreme.
That sense of crushing everything and swallowing mountains and rivers was even more obvious, making people feel shocked when looking from afar.
The group of human cultivators, looking at this scene, all had hearts surging with ten thousand waves, each instinctively bowing toward Xu Qing, but among them, there were also those who, after excitement, looked at the place of Mingnan Shizi's death, their expressions rising with worry.
Although not explicitly stated, everyone knew what they were thinking.
After all, Mingnan Shizi's father was in a high position with great power; his son being killed, and thus venting anger on the human race, was also a very high possibility.
Xu Qing saw this point and looked toward the First Prince.
The First Prince was silent; a few breaths later, he looked at the whip marks on the people around him, recalled the humiliation of this journey, his eyes somewhat dim, and he spoke in a low voice.
"I was wrong; what is exchanged for humble dignity is not called peace."
The Captain heard this, his gaze deep, and he spoke indifferently.
"There is no peace that is not exchanged for blood; whether it is the opponent or oneself, when enough blood is shed, peace naturally arrives." ===== CHAPTER 797 =====
