Chapter 306: Till the Ends of the World
Even if an Yuan Ying Cultivator’s body is destroyed, they can still rebuild themselves as long as their soul remains intact. But if their Sea of Consciousness is blown to bits, game over, man.
When you attack the weak with the strong, your attacks might not be very noticeable on their bodies, but if you go for the brain, wham! It usually does the trick.
The moment the Sea of Consciousness cracks, even a big-shot like an Yuan Ying Cultivator is toast.
This experience was passed from Master Youyue to Mu Jixue. Bing Lei Bai (Ice Lightning Explosion) could be manipulated by Mu Jixue’s will, precisely targeting the enemy’s Sea of Consciousness.
Super handy.
In just a blink of an eye, one powerful Yuan Ying Cultivator fell right into Mu Jixue’s hands!
Hugging tightly, Yun Zhonghe felt the aftershock of the ice explosions, his heart racing.
Mu Jixue had become much stronger.
Her spiritual energy far exceeded what any ordinary Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator could handle. Plus, she had pushed herself down to that level so she could one day create an unprecedented Nine-Ringed Golden Core.
But even if she was keeping her cultivation under wraps, that didn’t mean her power was stuck in neutral. Each additional ring on her Golden Core doubled her spiritual energy.
Currently, she had a seven-ringed core, meaning her strength had increased sevenfold since entering the Peak Foundation Establishment stage!
Yun Zhonghe only realized how much she had grown after feeling her surging spiritual energy up close.
Although his cultivation was tied to hers, he still lagged behind in pure power. He was just a regular Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all, he bound himself to her cultivation level, not her strength.
She was truly something else.
Zzzz—
Suddenly, a sharp sound jolted Yun Zhonghe’s thoughts.
Some of the Chen family’s henchmen hiding in the shadows saw their Yuan Ying powerhouse crash, and immediately lost their nerve. They began scrambling to escape!
There weren’t many who truly wanted to fight to the death anyway.
Damn it!
What’s going on?
Why are there other powerful figures in Tianhai City besides the Chen family?
One precious Yuan Ying Cultivator was killed instantly!
Those Chen family members who fled to Tianhai City were already a bunch of losers, like a bunch of scattered sand—no sense of unity. Most were just self-centered, pleasure-seeking jerks.
And those hanging around here? They were just perverts hoping to mess with Luan Xian (the women).
Getting them to fight for their lives was a fantasy! They only showed up when the righteous forces were banding together to crush the main house.
Now faced with Mu Jixue, the mighty opponent, all they want is to run away at top speed.
Just as one of them tried to make a break for it, Mu Jixue shot him through the chest like lightning.
At the same time, another one didn’t make it either and got hit by her ice blade. Then she flicked her hand mid-air, causing a massive ice explosion that sent a thunderous roar, turning one Chen family member after another into fragments!
Mu Jixue’s reaction speed and control of her spiritual energy have reached legendary levels; every move is so smooth and precise.
How couldn’t they be smooth? She was reborn a hundred times, every life spent accumulating battle skills and gaining experience like a boss grinding levels.
Back when she faced a horde of corpses at the Chen mansion, she couldn’t master techniques like Bing Lei Bai in her ice spells. Today, however, she mastered these techniques like a pro.
To intimidate the Chen family’s sorry ass, she had to strike hard and fast. So she went all out without mercy, and each hit struck fear into her enemies.
When a family Yuan Ying collapsed, a few managed to take steps towards escape—only to be fixed with that icy gaze of hers, turning into frozen corpses.
The rest, terrified out of their minds, ran without looking back.
Another one hiding, motionless, on their knees with taut muscles, heart pounding!
This isn’t right! It wasn’t supposed to be like this!
Why did someone die?
Did I get exposed?
Are we still catching people… screw that!
Self-preservation was key now; wait until the dust settles outside before going out.
It happened so fast, too insane fast!
In seconds, several key family members were gone.
Mu Jixue didn’t chase the fleeing enemies anymore; her mission was done. Now her and Yun Zhonghe have enough time to escape.
She had no clue what would happen next, but this was the first time she’d reached this point. She had to seize this opportunity to break the illusion that plagued them.
Every rebirth brought new uncertainties, nobody knew when Yun Zhonghe would meet her again.
“Wait, if we run now, won’t Liu Yan’s parents get revenge from the Chen family? That might not break the illusion.”
Yun Zhonghe grabbed Mu Jixue’s arm frantically.
Though speculative, this illusion might exist to stop tragedies.
Even if Liu Yan and Dong Xuanyu ran off, tragedy to Liu Yan’s folks could derail the whole story.
But Mu Jixue grinned, smug as a cat coming back from a hunt: “I’ve already made arrangements. Did you think I was messing around after a hundred rebirths?”
So cool~
“In short, hold onto me tight, don’t let go.”
Mu Jixue suddenly switched tone, adding more pout and gentleness.
Yun Zhonghe: “Eh?”
Before he could process it, she scooped him up and leaped.
Whoosh!
Transparent ice wings sprang open on her back, flapping urgently, carrying them skyward.
Mu Jixue held onto Yun Zhonghe tightly, scared he might fall or disappear.
His eyes fell on her, feeling warmth spread in his chest.
He felt her heartbeat sync with his own.
“Where… where are we going?” Yun Zhonghe’s voice was torn apart by the wind, lips twitching slightly. His face caught a cool breeze but also a bit of tumult.
“We’ll… till the end of the sky.”
She didn’t really know where they were heading, but she felt like flying with Yun Zhonghe forever was exactly what she should do.
The peace within gave her confidence, thinking they were on the right path.
She believed Liu Yan and Dong Xuanyu felt the same.
Their figures danced between the blue and white, soaring higher and farther until they vanished beyond the horizon…
