Chapter 674: Adding Another Talent!!

~16 min read 3,032 words

"Die for this Lord!" The Lord of the Forgotten River's face twitched, and the murderous intent was almost solidified.

Splash!

Water splashed, and at the critical moment, Seeing Qing Chi didn't hesitate, like a moth to a flame, jumping into the Forgotten River.

As soon as she touched the river water, colorful smoke exploded all over her body, like a overturned dyeing workshop, and also like a shattered glass dream.

Every wisp of colorful smoke rising and changing reflected scenes of vivid and warm pasts. However, these colorful lights in her life were ruthlessly washed away and dissipated by the cold river water in the blink of an eye.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, Seeing Qing Chi had no heavy treasure to protect her and could not resist the washing of the Forgotten River water at all.

"Seeing Qing Chi!" Ning Zhuo saw this scene, his mind shaking violently.

"No matter who you are, I must save you!" Seeing Qing Chi had completely forgotten Ning Zhuo's identity, but the intense feelings filled her heart, deep into her bones, as hot as magma, making her risk her life to save him.

She dived with all her might, swimming toward Ning Zhuo.

The Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors, topping a thin layer of ice coffin, crashed into Ning Zhuo, but at the critical moment, it was blocked by Seeing Qing Chi.

The huge impact force made Seeing Qing Chi open her mouth suddenly, spitting out a mouthful of hot blood, which bloomed into a sorrowful scarlet in the cold river water.

The river water poured into her mouth, and Seeing Qing Chi seemed to have her memory gate opened, and a huge amount of colorful smoke sprayed out from her whole body, dissipating crazily.

The ice coffin topped the injured Seeing Qing Chi and took the opportunity to crash into Ning Zhuo's body.

The two and the coffin were pushed violently by the power of the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors, traveling crazily in the depths of the Forgotten River tributary.

Wherever they passed, colorful smoke and blood were scattered all the way.

"Bad." Luo Si's heart sank to the bottom, but he was already unable to move, his face only had eyes that were not covered by earthen soil, and he could only watch all this slide into the abyss.

"Seeing Qing Chi!" Ning Zhuo shouted in his heart. He reached out and pressed firmly on Seeing Qing Chi's back, sharing the power of the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with her.

The Buddha light covered Seeing Qing Chi's body and soul, causing the memories and emotions washed out of her to decrease sharply, but it couldn't stop it!

"Is it because she opened her mouth before and still had Forgotten River water in her body?" Ning Zhuo was anxious, but had no way to think. He supported the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal and had already used all his strength. At this moment, dividing his power to save people was reaching the limit of his own ability!

"Hehe, struggling on the verge of death." The Lord of the Forgotten River revealed a ferocious smile, murderous intent exposed, "Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors, pierce through them!"

The Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors shook violently, emitting ghostly light on the scissors, topping the thin layer of ice coffin around it, and crashed into Ning Zhuo who was drowning in the tributary.

"No!" Luo Si exclaimed in his heart.

His whole body was covered in heavy earthen soil, leaving only his face with a little of his original appearance.

Ning Zhuo didn't see the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors attacking.

He was back to the ice coffin.

In the Forgotten River, divine sense had no effect and could not leave the body at all. To be precise, it would be washed away immediately.

Ning Zhuo supported the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with all his might and had no time to take care of anything else. Even if he controlled the Thread of Life, he was powerless to transmit even one or two words of information to Seeing Qing Chi.

At this moment, he became fish meat, waiting to be slaughtered.

The Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors almost completely broke through the ice coffin, and thirty percent of the scissors blade had already entered Seeing Qing Chi's body.

It topped Seeing Qing Chi, pushing deeper and deeper, its speed as fast as a meteor, traveling extremely fast in the Forgotten River tributary.

The Forgotten River tributary circled into a circle, letting the three and the coffin and the scissors circle countless times. The Forgotten River tributary had long been sprinkled with Seeing Qing Chi's blood.

Her blood was burning fiercely!

This was the final cry of her life!

"Little Ma, Little Ma...!" Her voice turned weak rapidly, until she no longer called out.

She had forgotten the name engraved on her heart.

But the love in her heart was still surging, driving her to protect the person behind her at all costs!

As if in response, the green flames flowed on the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors, engraving the colorful traces of blood.

The Lord of the Forgotten River was shocked!

"This, what kind of fire is this?"

The water of the Forgotten River couldn't extinguish it, it burned wantonly in the water.

What made him think of it, and what made him terrified, was that the connection between him and the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors was shrinking rapidly—the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors were being forcibly blood-refined by Seeing Qing Chi!

Pfft—!!!

At this moment, the Lord of the Forgotten River raised his head suddenly and sprayed a mouthful of blood.

Blood splashed five feet!

His hair broke inch by inch, his aura weakened to the bottom, as if his spine had been directly pulled out, and he fell backward straight, fainting on the spot.

Luo Si's vision was gradually covered by yellow earth.

In the last bit of weak light, he vaguely saw a white-clothed teenager, holding a ghost girl, walking out of the tributary. And the background behind the teenager was the Forgotten River tributary that was almost dried up by the green flames.

Luo Si felt as if he had also sunk into the Forgotten River.

"Wake up, wake up quickly!" His strong consciousness kept urging himself, feeling as if he were the sand at the bottom of the river, bit by bit, struggling to float upward.

"Hoo... hoo..." He finally could make a weak sound of breathing, and opened his eyes with difficulty.

His eyelids were as heavy as if they were welded, and his narrow field of vision was blurry, a piece of gloom.

Click, click... click, click...

Clear and powerful, and with a cold and hard rhythm of hoof iron hitting the ground, it entered his ears. Mixed with it was the sound of the wheels turning.

"Luo Si is awake!"

"Young Master Ning Zhuo, Luo Si is awake!!"

Luo Si then heard someone shouting like this.

Soon, a white figure broke into his field of vision, and then his upper body was lifted.

The white figure performed a magic technique, acting on Luo Si, making his vision clear and his body's perception accelerate recovery. A warm current flowed through his whole body, transforming into his strength.

He turned his head slowly, shifted his pupils, and observed the surroundings.

He was now lying on a simple mechanical board cart, and two huge wooden wheels were turning crazily. In front of the cart, it was running fast with two black blood paper horses.

On his abdomen, there was an octagonal palace lamp, which was the Qianmo Lamp.

It was precisely by relying on it to adjust and arrange the Earth Qi that Luo Si was gradually freed from the seal of the heavy earthen statue.

Ning Zhuo smiled: "It's good that you are awake, you can circulate magic power yourself to accelerate recovery. Borrow this lamp for now, it is very useful for you to exclude the Earth Qi in your body."

"Young Master." Luo Si spat out with difficulty, his throat was extremely dry, and after only blurring two words, he had no strength to say the following words.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I know what you want to ask."

He transmitted his divine sense, telling Luo Si what happened after he fainted.

That green flame actually melted the Heavenly Ghost skull, allowing Ning Zhuo to absorb this acquired talent.

Talent "Self", can allow Ning Zhuo to remember himself at all times, exactly restraining

the effect of the Forgotten River water.

Ning Zhuo no longer supported the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with all his might, and was safe even if washed by the Forgotten River tributary.

He had the power to leave the Forgotten River.

Seeing Qing Chi also unexpectedly refined the Underworld Flood Dragon Scissors and fainted.

Ning Zhuo took Seeing Qing Chi away from the Forgotten River tributary and came to save Luo Si.

He couldn't help Luo Si break free for the time being, but he tried his best to protect Luo Si's life.

Then, Ning Zhuo hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, fearing that the Lord of the Forgotten River would personally lead the army to chase, so he took Luo Si and left the altar battlefield.

After landing, he used his original appearance, summoned the Qing-Jiao Army, informed them of his true identity, and the general battle situation, hiding the fact that he had absorbed the talent.

The Qing-Jiao Army learned of the victory and destroyed the Lord of the Forgotten River's century-long plan, and their morale was greatly boosted, cheering one after another.

Jiao Ma's biological father felt endless regret. He had long guessed that his son was disguised by someone else.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to confess, which made the Jiao family suspicious. Seeing Qing Chi's fainting state also made the Qing family worried.

Jiao Ma's biological father took the initiative to stand out and expressed his support for Ning Zhuo for the first time. His choice was soon supported by the entire Qing-Jiao Army.

Ning Zhuo led the Qing-Jiao Army and rushed to the rendezvous point they had agreed upon.

When they arrived here, Ning Zhuo didn't see Buddha-Healer Meng Meng Yaoyin and Sun Lingtong, but Luo Si could already walk.

Here, he found a flying letter sent by Buddha-Healer Meng Meng Yaoyin, which told Ning Zhuo that if she didn't arrive for a long time, he should lead the army to the Water Burial Valley.

Luo Si saw the letter, and a sense of bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

The Grey Bone Elder had great kindness to him, and he always wanted to repay the other party.

Ning Zhuo and Luo Si took the still unconscious Seeing Qing Chi and rushed to the Water Burial Valley without stopping. ===== CHAPTER 675 =====

It was his first time enduring the backlash of a failed divine ability, and this force was so wild and fierce. Caught off guard, Ning Zhuo suffered heavy damage to his body and soul, his three seas were shaken, and he was instantly severely injured, swallowed by darkness, and actually passed out directly.

Without him there to maintain the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, the Precious Seal was like water without a source, and the Buddha light rapidly dimmed.

Once the Buddha light shield collapsed, Ning Zhuo, who was in the river water, would also be washed away and would inevitably lose all his memories and emotions.

Don't forget, he had fallen into the water in his physical body.

Once time ran out, he would surely die!

However, even though he had passed out, one of his hands was still gripping the Heavenly Ghost's skull tightly.

Under the scorching of the green flames, the skull actually melted in an incredible way.

The Heavenly Ghost's skull gradually melted into a pool of deep blue water, as profound as

the night sky.

This pool of water was absorbed by Ning Zhuo's palm, seeping into his body, passing through his tendons and bones, until it drilled into his spirit sea.

Innate Talent — Self!

A burst of azure radiance erupted from within Ning Zhuo's body.

The green flames were still burning, but they could not block this sky-piercing blue light.

At the same time, the Underworld Flood Dragon Shears, covered in blood-refining patterns, also completely changed their allegiance, no longer having any connection with the River of Oblivion Prefect. The Underworld Flood Dragon Shears turned into a stream of light, actively throwing themselves in and merging into Seeing Qing Chi's body.

Pfft—!!!

At this instant, the River of Oblivion Prefect suddenly threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Blood splattered five feet!

His hair broke off inch by inch, his aura weakened to the bottom, as if his spine had been directly pulled out, and he fell backward stiffly, passing out on the spot.

Luo Si's field of vision was gradually covered by yellow soil.

In the last bit of faint light, he vaguely saw a youth in white, holding a ghost girl, walking out from the tributary. And the background behind the youth was the River of Oblivion tributary, which was constantly being scorched by green flames and was nearly dried up.

Luo Si felt as if he had also sunk into the River of Oblivion.

"Wake up, wake up quickly!" His strong consciousness urged himself constantly, feeling as if he were gravel at the bottom of the river, struggling bit by bit, with difficulty, to float upward.

"Hah... hah..." He was finally able to make a faint gasping sound and opened his eyes with difficulty.

His eyelids were as heavy as if they had been welded shut, and his narrow field of vision was blurry and gloomy.

Clip-clop... clip-clop...

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, clear and powerful, with a cold and hard rhythm, entered his ears. Mixed in was the sound of cart wheels turning.

"Luo Si is awake!"

"Lord Ning Zhuo, Luo Si is awake!!"

Luo Si immediately heard someone shouting like this.

Soon, a white figure entered his field of vision, and then his upper body was lifted up.

The white figure cast a spell on Luo Si, making his vision clear and accelerating the recovery of his body's senses. A warm current flowed through his whole body, transforming into his strength.

He first turned his head slowly, shifted his pupils, and observed his surroundings.

He was now lying on a crude mechanical flatbed cart, with two huge wooden wheels turning wildly. In front of the cart, it was being pulled by two black-blood paper horses running at full speed.

On his abdomen lay an octagonal palace lantern, which was the Crossroads Lantern.

It was precisely by relying on it to regulate and sort out the earth qi that Luo Si was gradually freed from the seal of the thick pottery soil.

Ning Zhuo smiled: "It's good that you're awake; you can circulate your magic power on your own to accelerate your recovery. Borrow this lantern for now; it will be very useful for you to expel the earth qi from your body."

"Young Master." Luo Si spoke with difficulty; his throat was extremely dry, and after blurting out only two words vaguely, he had no strength to say anything more.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I know what you want to ask."

He transmitted his thoughts through his spiritual sense, telling Luo Si what had happened after he passed out.

The green flames were actually able to melt the Heavenly Ghost's skull, thereby allowing Ning Zhuo to absorb this acquired innate talent.

The innate talent "Self" could allow Ning Zhuo to keep himself in mind at all times, which happened to counteract

the effect of the River of Oblivion water.

Ning Zhuo no longer fully supported the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, and even if he let the River of Oblivion tributary wash over him, he remained safe and sound.

He then had the strength to leave the River of Oblivion.

Seeing Qing Chi also accidentally refined the Underworld Flood Dragon Shears and passed out.

Ning Zhuo then took Seeing Qing Chi and left the River of Oblivion tributary to save Luo Si.

He was temporarily unable to help Luo Si escape, but he did his best to protect Luo Si's life.

Then, Ning Zhuo hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, fearing that the River of Oblivion Prefect would personally lead an army to arrive, so he took Luo Si and left the sacrificial altar battlefield.

After reaching the ground, he used his original appearance to summon the Qingjiao Army, informing them of his true identity and the general situation of the battle, while omitting the fact that he had absorbed the innate talent.

When the Qingjiao Army learned that they had won and had destroyed the River of Oblivion Prefect's century-long plan, their morale was greatly boosted, and they cheered one after another.

Jiao Ma's biological father, however, felt endless regret. He had long guessed that his son was impersonated by someone else.

Ning Zhuo confessed voluntarily, which made the Jiao family suspicious. Seeing Qing Chi's comatose state also made the Qing family worried.

Jiao Ma's biological father stood out voluntarily, expressing his support for Ning Zhuo at the first opportunity. His choice soon received the support of the entire Qingjiao Army.

Ning Zhuo then led the Qingjiao Army and rushed all the way to the agreed-upon meeting point.

By the time they arrived here, Ning Zhuo did not see the Buddha Doctor Meng Meng Yaoyin or Sun Lingtong, but Luo Si was already able to walk.

Here, he found a flying letter sent by the Buddha Doctor Meng Meng Yaoyin, which told Ning Zhuo that if she did not arrive for a long time, he should lead the army to the Water Burial Valley.

When Luo Si saw the letter, a sense of foreboding immediately arose in his heart.

The Gray Bone Elder had been a great benefactor to him, and he always thought about repaying the other party.

Ning Zhuo and Luo Si, carrying the still-unconscious Seeing Qing Chi, rushed to the Water Burial Valley without stopping.
