Why Are You Here
"Phew..."
In Jian Changsheng's pupils, the world seemed to be swallowed by flames. Feeling the scorching heat continuously eating away at his body, he knew he absolutely couldn't just sit and wait for death any longer.
He fiercely gripped the hilt of his sword, his figure charging towards Kongwang in the center of the raging flames at extreme speed!
The flames had already covered the ground, the scorching heat licking his body, yet he seemed completely unaware. Only surging killing intent remained in his eyes!
Kongwang above the flames caught a glimpse of Jian Changsheng charging to kill, coldly snorting. The sea of fire seemed to have self-consciousness, surging from behind to cover the sky and earth, transforming into a giant hand, chasing to grab Jian Changsheng's figure.
Just at the instant Jian Changsheng was about to be caught up to, a pair of palms calmly parted the pillar of fire in the very center, and Sun Bumian took a step out.
Even though he was hit head-on by Kongwang's pillar of fire, there was not the slightest trace of being scorched on his body, as if all the flames had deliberately avoided him.
"Fire is Auspicious Omen; a great fire is a disastrous calamity." Sun Bumian spoke indifferently. "Using killing flames in front of [Great Inauspiciousness] is not a wise choice."
The giant flame palm was as if grabbed by some invisible power, shattering after stiffening in place for an instant, and then reconstructed around Sun Bumian, circling his hands as if trying to curry favor.
Sun Bumian turned around and raised his hand again. The sea of fire blocking in front of Jian Changsheng was instantly blasted open into a path leading to Kongwang!
"Go, I'll clear the way for you." Sun Bumian said.
Jian Changsheng held the sword in one hand, glancing back at him and coldly snorting, "I didn't expect there would be a day I would join forces with you... But don't think that our accounts are settled just like this."
"... How about I just let the fire burn you to death in a bit."
"If we can't kill that guy, we both have to die."
Jian Changsheng didn't say more, holding the sword and charging into the sea of fire like black lightning. The tip of the sword first cut open his own skin, and flying beads of blood were flung towards the sky above Kongwang, covering the heaven and earth!
Just as Kongwang raised his hand preparing to stop him, Jian Changsheng's figure instantly vanished, swapping positions to directly above Kongwang!
"[Quake]!"
"[Fix]!"
The instant Kongwang spoke, Sun Bumian also spoke closely after. The two voices were issued almost simultaneously. Jian Changsheng's figure didn't have the slightest stagnation, whistling as he slashed his sword towards Kongwang's neck!
Kongwang, who was still utilizing the Domain of the Path of the Scholar God, couldn't mobilize the Path of Force anymore. He could only dodge backward repeatedly, lightly raising his fingertips. Those Ink and Brush sprayed crazily like machine guns from all directions, clinking and clanking as they were blocked by Jian Changsheng's sword tip, emitting piercing sparks.
Jian Changsheng slashed with his sword and charged all the way. Added with preferring to trade injury for injury, his speed got faster and faster, actually forcefully slaughtering through more than half the Domain, arriving in front of Kongwang!
Clang—!!
Jian Changsheng slashed out with his sword, colliding with the slender "[Sword]" character Kongwang raised his hand to reproduce. The figures of the two were temporarily deadlocked on the ground...
But Kongwang was a cut above after all. A continuous stream of brushstrokes drilled out from underground, instantly piercing through Jian Changsheng like thorns, forcing him to be imprisoned in place like a meat skewer pierced with four or five iron skewers!
Jian Changsheng let out a muffled groan, fresh blood flowing crazily onto the ground like a waterfall.
"Two troublesome guys coming together... is also just slightly greater trouble." Kongwang's voice was like it came from the netherworld. "Just relying on you two, you also want to kill me?"
"Oh? Then what if we add another one?"
Pfft—!!
Before Kongwang's voice fell, the blade of a Bone-Stripping Knife had already pierced out from under his ribs, scarlet fresh blood slowly flowing along his skin...
"The vassal clown is not worth mentioning..."
As a calm voice came from behind, Kongwang was stunned in place. He fiercely turned his head to look, only to see a piece of face skin silently fluttering in the air.
A figure holding a Bone-Stripping Knife was coldly watching him. The instant he saw that person's face, Kongwang's pupils slightly contracted!
"—With one sword I can block a million soldiers!!"
An extremely penetrating Opera Vocals burst forth from the throat of that figure.
Boom—!!!
In the next moment, an apocalyptic fluctuation directly pierced through several streets, blasting a giant circular hole through all the towering houses in its path. The destructive power caused by this strike was not in the slightest bit inferior to the shattered void of the Path of Force just now, billowing dust flying up!
"Cough cough cough... No, did you guys see clearly just now?"
"Didn't see clearly, but did someone seemingly pop out of thin air again? Where did he come from?"
"Did a bird fly over just now?"
"That seemed to be Opera Vocals just now, is it the Path of the Actor? But since when could the Path of the Actor turn into a bird?"
"..."
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, the flying dust gradually dispersed. A figure holding a knife in one hand quietly stood in place, also the source of that strike that pierced through all the blocks just now...
In front of him was a puddle of fresh blood. Further away, was Kongwang missing half his body.
That stab just now had pierced into Kongwang's ribs, and the subsequent apocalyptic attack almost directly annihilated him. Fortunately, he used Ghost Dao Divine Abilities to escape in time... But even so, everything below his left ribs had already been replaced by a circular hollow.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's eyes slightly narrowed;
"... As expected of the Path of Ghosts, to even be able to dodge this."
When Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng joined forces just now, Chen Ling had actually already arrived, but had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike... Only when Kongwang was completely attracted by the cooperation of the two and expended some effort to control Jian Changsheng, slightly lowering his guard, did he strike like a thunderbolt.
Moreover, in order to achieve a one-hit kill, he even directly used his currently strongest trump card [Sleeve-Hand Pushing Heaven]. But unfortunately, he still let Kongwang escape a disaster.
Jian Changsheng, who was pinned in mid-air by the Ink and Brush thorns, saw that familiar face and opened his mouth wide in shock, having an expression like he had seen a ghost!
"You... no... you you you..."
"Why are you here?" Chen Ling suspiciously sized him up. "Didn't you say you were going to focus on grabbing the Heaven-Reaching Star Position? Why are you fighting so desperately with Kongwang?"
Jian Changsheng was choked up for a time, "I..."
Chen Ling waved his knife, cutting off those Ink and Brush thorns for Jian Changsheng and rescuing him... The latter looked at him, then looked at the soul of "Chen Ling" floating in the air, and finally couldn't help but punch Chen Ling!
"?"
"Damn it, you're alive!" Jian Changsheng cursed. "What is that thing up there???"
Chen Ling looked up and saw the gray-jacketed Chen Ling in the army of souls, eyes closed and motionless like a sculpture. His eyes slightly narrowed, "Him... It's a long story."
"It's you!! How could you possibly still be alive??" Kongwang was also finding it inconceivable. "I clearly seized your soul!!"
"That's why I say, you're a piece of trash... Useless even when given an opportunity." Chen Ling coldly turned his head to look at Kongwang, with some regret in his tone, "How about, you try seizing again?"
"This time, I guarantee you can hit the 'jackpot'."
