Chapter 1094: Exchange of Injuries
Sizzle—!
In the incredulous gaze of the Wind God Xiu, the malevolent blade light instantly cleaved his body in half, and he helplessly fell from the sky, crashing into the snow below.
Under a dim sky of dead silence, behind the three Nine Pillar Gods, an enormous shadow, silently pulsating with malevolent flames, had appeared at some unknown time.
The Sky God Nute and the Earth God Geb’s pupils suddenly constricted!
In an instant, both figures flashed dozens of miles away, fearfully glancing back at the massive black shadow in the distance, their eyes filled with disbelief.
How could such a colossal figure appear so silently and suddenly?!
Just as the two were horrified, the towering shadow flickered again, appearing beside them amidst the waves of malevolent fire, raising the black blade high and swinging it down fiercely!
The malevolent flames mixed with a deafening roar erupted in the distance, as Bai Li, the plump figure draped in a robe, stepped through the snow and slowly came to a halt before a snow pit.
He glanced at the towering shadow that was overpowering the two gods, then looked down at the body of the Wind God Xiu, which was gradually restoring itself in the snow, and sighed deeply:
“Under the gods, above all beings… Unfortunately, without the power of the laws, one cannot kill a god.”
He crouched down, drawing a talisman on Xiu’s remains, completely sealing him, and the process of restoration suddenly came to a halt.
Bai Li stood up, just about to join the battlefield, when he seemed to sense something and turned to look into the distance.
“Finally here…”
After pondering for a moment, his figure vanished from the battlefield as if he had never been there.
……
Boom boom boom—!!
Several pale bolts of lightning fell from the clouds, scorching the blue robe on Aisis.
As she dodged the nightshade from Lin Qiye’s hands, she also had to fend off the agile Thunder Beast Raifu, retreating repeatedly in a state of utter disarray.
Lin Qiye, clad in a dark robe, danced wildly in the wind and snow, his broken right arm slowly regenerating under the influence of youthful divine power.
At the same time, a lush green field spread out beneath his feet like a tide; whenever Aisis attempted to draw life force from the ground to grow plants, it would be devoured by the “Eternal Secret Garden,” the pure life force nourishing Lin Qiye and allowing his broken right arm to recover even faster.
Even so, Lin Qiye felt no sense of relaxation; instead, his brow furrowed even tighter.
The broken arm could be repaired, but the time he could sustain his life was running out. Once the time carrying Bragi’s soul and the effects of the ghostly gods passed, he would be buried in the Yellow Springs, and at that time, the National Guardian Monument would be left unguarded, completely exposed before Aisis.
He could not let Aisis drag this out any longer… Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Aren’t you going to kill me?”
Lin Qiye stepped forward, the boundless nightshade spreading from his robe, his deep-set eyes calmly watching the retreating Aisis, and he spoke lightly,
“Come on, I’m right here. How can the mighty Goddess of Life Aisis be so helpless against a mere mortal?”
Aisis was taken aback, and then an unprecedented anger surfaced on her cold face. Lin Qiye’s simple words struck at her most suppressed feelings; she was a being that could easily crush a bug, yet now she found herself inexplicably being forced to fight back, with no means to retaliate.
Her pride and dignity as a goddess were trampled to nothing by this mortal before her.
Furrowing her brows tightly, her heart burned with fury, and instead of retreating, she advanced, braving the lightning strikes summoned by the Thunder Beast, stepping forward and breaking through the lightning, her surging divine power transforming into countless vines with sharp spikes, twisting toward Lin Qiye’s body.
Lin Qiye transformed into nightshade, darting between the constricting vines, and in an instant, he moved right in front of Aisis.
As if she had already predicted Lin Qiye’s landing point, Aisis snorted coldly, and from beneath her blue robe, dozens of vines shot out, piercing through Lin Qiye’s body at close range.
The sharp barbs tore through Lin Qiye’s flesh, pinning him firmly one meter in front of Aisis. Agonizing pain flooded Lin Qiye’s mind, twisting his face into a grimace, yet he showed no signs of panic, even managing to curl his lips into a smile.
Aisis’s heart skipped a beat.
A brilliant magic circle suddenly erupted from Lin Qiye’s trapped hands, and in the next moment, a severed arm mixed with fierce sword light shot out from the summoning array!
At such a close distance, even if Aisis reacted quickly, she couldn’t evade in time. Even as she twisted her body as much as possible, the sword light easily sliced through the left side of her body, shattering much of her beating heart.
Aisis’s pupils dilated, and she staggered back a few steps, a large amount of blood gushing forth, soaking the ground beneath her feet.
Lin Qiye’s sword lacked the power of the laws, so it could not take her life, but under the power of the Tian Cong Yun Sword, she could not use life force to repair her body.
“Half a heart shattered, yet I still can’t completely strip away her mobility… Is this what it means to be the Goddess of Life?”
A streak of sword light cut through the barbed vines that bound Lin Qiye, and he fell to the snow, bloodied and battered, his limbs mangled by the barbs. He looked at the still standing Aisis in the distance, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Moments later, a glimmer of spirit finally returned to Aisis’s eyes. She stiffly lowered her head, glancing at her half-beating heart, then shifted her gaze to Lin Qiye, who was also gravely injured.
This mortal… was he exchanging injuries with her?
What a madman.
Aisis struggled to drag her body, and the vines beneath her blue robe once again surged forth, carrying a chilling killing intent, charging toward the fallen Lin Qiye in the snow.
Just as the vines flew into the air, a figure stepped out of nowhere, landing on the snow.
In an instant, the swirling snowflakes froze in mid-air, and the menacing vines suspended in the air suddenly solidified, as if encased in ice. Time seemed to pause at that moment, the howling blizzard and the distant sounds of explosions all vanished.
Between heaven and earth, silence reigned.
Rustle—!
A faint sound of footsteps in the snow echoed as a figure draped in a gray cloak slowly approached from the frozen flurry of snow.
Beneath his pale hair, a pair of weathered eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the figure in blue, his wrinkled hand resting on the white hilt at his waist.
Clang—!!
The blade light, reaching an extreme speed, rapidly expanded in the wind and snow, instantly shattering all the vines in mid-air, engulfing the remaining half of the blue-robed woman’s body.
Time resumed its flow, the swirling snowflakes falling from the sky, and in Lin Qiye’s eyes, Aisis’s shattered form was clearly reflected.
