【The wind pressure around them was gradually weakening.】
【Ji Wuqing was stunned.】
【“Holy crap! You beat an Immortal King?!”】
【Thinking back to how she had confessed to you all those years ago, Ji Wuqing now felt a little regretful.】
【What kind of freak had she turned down?】
【Ah Dou’s face also brightened with joy.】
【“Uncle Chen succeeded?”】
【Your expression was grave.】
【How could you possibly have knocked an Immortal King down with one punch?】
【You hadn’t even seen his face.】
【He was far out in outer space, beyond the horizon, remotely controlling a domain that covered half the planet.】
【Perhaps the power of your punch had taken him somewhat by surprise, causing a fluctuation in his control of the domain.】
【Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the wind pressure returned to its previous level.】
【“Aaaah!!”】
【He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin were still suffering the most.】
【The two of them held on to Ah Dou with all their strength.】
【But the Hurricane Immortal King wanted Ah Dou alive and intact, so he couldn’t attack the two of them too harshly, for fear of accidentally hitting Ah Dou.】
【So he kept cutting them with wind blades.】
【There was no doubt that he was torturing them with a slow, cruel execution, scraping away their flesh and bones inch by inch!】
【“Early Transcendent Realm? Or Middle Stage? Your cultivation level is rather strange...”】
【The Hurricane Immortal King’s voice sounded again.】
【He was clearly speaking to you.】
【“No matter what, your destructive power is far beyond that of others at the same realm, even stronger than an ordinary Immortal Lord. Yet someone like you has no special physique or soul, and your immortal root is only... seventh grade? How is that possible?”】
【The Hurricane Immortal King couldn’t make sense of you.】
【But he was certain of one thing: you weren’t a Child of Destiny.】
【So there was no need to keep you alive.】
【He was going to kill you!】
【“Humans, you people can be far too strange sometimes. Leaving you alive would be a liability. Die!”】
【“Kree—”】
【A piercing cry rang out as Black Wind formed into a black falcon and plunged down from high above.】
【Where it passed, black fissures appeared in space!】
【An attack capable of affecting space!】
【Even coming from an Immortal King, this was an exceptionally powerful attack.】
【It was clear the Hurricane Immortal King was taking you seriously, not casually killing you.】
【“I’ll dodge!”】
【You couldn’t!】
【The domain’s power focused on you, pinning you down!】
【You couldn’t open the Pot Heaven space, so you couldn’t take out any of your treasures!】
【Your Traffic Light trait was glowing an intense purple-red!】
【Your divine power was barely circulating!】
【This was bad!】
【You were going to die!】
【“Guangzhi, Save Me!!”】
【“Smack!”】
【You couldn’t use divine power, but you could use trait tags!】
【In an instant, you transformed into someone at random: Shi San, an old-school minor villain.】
【“Pfft!!”】
【The Immortal King’s strike pierced your physical body, pulverizing you in an instant!】
【Watching you get blasted into a cloud of blood mist, Ah Dou was stunned. His mind was filled with nothing but a dull, monotonous ringing.】
【Ji Wuqing’s eyes flew wide open.】
【“Mr. Chen... M-Mr. Chen is dead?”】
【A nameless fury surged up within Ji Wuqing.】
【Her long hair began to rise upward, defying the laws of physics.】
【“Bastard... Bastard!!!”】
【Ji Wuqing, who had been firmly suppressed and unable to do anything, suddenly found herself able to move!】
【She sprang up with her sword in hand. Her rage turned into sword energy, forcing back the wind all around her.】
【“Aaaah!!!”】
【Ji Wuqing’s furious roar was more violent than the wind, her imposing presence nearly surpassing that of an Immortal King.】
【“I’ll make you pay with your life!!”】
【Ji Wuqing swept her sword across the land, splitting a mountain valley open.】
【She became a streak of purple light, darting through the Hurricane Domain. Searching for weak points in its power, she wove through it again and again, rushing straight into the sky. Using energy to command her sword and her sword to guide her, she charged toward the Immortal King in outer space!】
【The Hurricane Immortal King took a long look at her and saw through every one of her disguises.】
【“Ji Wuqing, since the Ji family has been fairly loyal, I’ll spare your life. But you’d better think about how you’ll explain this when you return to the Ji family!”】
【Ji Wuqing charged into the clouds.】
【But before she could even see the Immortal King’s true body, a force she couldn’t resist slammed her back down.】
【After all, she was only in the Transcendent Realm, not even an Immortal Lord who had mastered the laws. How could she possibly stand against an Immortal King?】
【“Aaaah—”】
【Ji Wuqing was knocked into the dirt and fell silent.】
【Ah Dou looked at you, dead in a miserable heap, at Ji Wuqing, pinned down, and at He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin, whose bodies were covered in wounds. He shook his head in anguish.】
【“Enough! Enough!! Hurricane Immortal King! Stop hurting them! I’ll go with you! I’ll go with you!!”】
【He Xiangdong rebuked him.】
【“Zhong Yanqing!! Don’t give up until the very last moment!!”】
【Ah Dou’s lips trembled.】
【“Strategist, are all the people around a Child of Destiny supposed to sacrifice themselves for him? Is a Child of Destiny like that really the Human Race’s savior?”】
【There was hardly any flesh left on He Xiangdong’s body, and his life was nearing its end.】
【He couldn’t give Ah Dou an answer.】
【The Hurricane Domain began to weaken.】
【The Hurricane Immortal King’s calm voice rang out.】
【“I have no interest in torturing these ants to death. If you’re willing to cooperate, I have no desire to stoop to such undignified behavior.”】
【Ah Dou lowered his head and looked at He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin.】
【“Let go...”】
【Seeing that Ah Dou had made up his mind, He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin had no choice but to release him.】
【The two of them fell toward the ground.】
【They used no divine power to slow their fall and performed no Divine Arts. They simply plummeted freely, seemingly having given up any desire to live.】
【Suddenly, both of them opened their eyes wide and shouted at once.】
【“Ah Dou, stop!”】
【Ah Dou was going to kill himself!】
【Golden characters shone with dazzling brilliance in his palm as he swung it hard toward his own head.】
【Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.】
【A mass of highly compressed air wrapped tightly around Ah Dou’s head, and he couldn’t strike it.】
【Then the wind pressure converged around him, binding his entire body and leaving him completely helpless.】
【The Hurricane Immortal King let out a cold laugh.】
【“I’ve met many Children of Destiny who thought like you. But let me tell you, none of them succeeded! In my domain, you can’t even choose to die!”】
【Ah Dou responded with a cold laugh.】
【“Maybe the other Children of Destiny couldn’t do it, but I can! Sun Halo Ring!!!”】
【Ah Dou shouted.】
【The Sun Halo Ring, which had just been knocked down, shot up from underground and circled in front of Ah Dou.】
【Ah Dou looked at it and smiled.】
【“Sun Halo Ring, though we haven’t been together for long, and I haven’t been able to bring out your full power, I can feel that we were destined to meet. It’s a shame we won’t get the chance to fight side by side in this life. I hope I can find you again in the next...”】
【The Sun Halo Ring let out a low, mournful whimper.】
【Ah Dou’s eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted in a voice close to a roar.】
【“Kill me!! Sun Halo Ring!!!”】
【Ji Wuqing, He Xiangdong, and Strong Man Lin were horrified!】
【Even the Hurricane Immortal King in outer space was startled at that moment!】
