Chapter 187 The Death of Nascent Soul
Xiao Qi waved the saber and charged all the way. Emperor Jun gathered Spirit Power and pressed hard at Xiao Qi. The two parties faced each other across the clouds. The mixed vital army held the crossbows. Emperor Jun was guarded by the celestial soldiers. The fire tribe soldiers rushed up in a crowd. Xiao Qi gave an order, and then, flying arrows blotted out the sky. The fire tribe soldiers did not see the scene before and fled in disorder. The mixed vital army’s morale was high. Nascent Soul realized that the situation was going against himself, so he called the spiritual beast. Blood bats broke through the soil, and a dense cloud of bats swarmed toward the mixed vital army. Xiao Qi swept his Spirit Power toward the bats.
Xiao Nai led the fairy army to the camp, and the sudden offensive made the fire army fall in a mess. Nascent Soul did not expect it. And the fire tribe’s defense collapsed at the first blow. Xiao Nai smashed all the way. The fire tribe’s army was thrown into a disorder. No one knew Xiao Nai. Even if Nascent Soul confronted Xiao Nai head-to-head, Xiao Nai was unknown to him. Xiao Qi transmitted sound to Xiao Nai at the right time. As long as the two parties were exhausted, Xiao Nai appeared on time, which not only cheered up the soldiers of the Fairy Kingdom but also demoralized the opponent.
Who could expect the Fairy Kingdom to be so powerful this time with raging momentum? Chidi’s relax mood tensed up again. The soldiers of the Fairy Kingdom were unstoppable so that the Triple Alliance did not have the opportunity to gasp. Dead bodies lay everywhere in the battalion, and blood dyed the ground red. The devil army wounded and died a lot. The arrival of the fairy army increased the morale and gave some time for the tired mixed vital army to take a rest. Xiao Qi gave an order, and the fairy soldiers transformed their true bodies out. The mixed vital army drew the bows full, and tens of thousands of arrows flew to the devil soldiers. Chidi was thrown in a mess by the attack. In the beginning, his military force was in the dominant position. However, Xiao Qi could invite the mixed vital army to assist him. Although Xiao Nai led the army on the battlefield for the first time, instructed by Xiao Qi, he was good at fighting as he knew what kind of offensive was beneficial for them. In order to gain a victory, Xiao Nai knew that they should devour the devil army little by little. On the clouds, Xiao Qi kept a close eye on any movement in the Fairy Kingdom. The devil army was separated by the fairy army, which could lessen the threat to the mixed vital army. Xiao Nai was good at the sneak attack. He knew well how to distract the enemy’s military power and then encircled them group by group. It was like playing chess: besieging you and destroying you little by little. It was Xiao Qi’s strategy. Small as the military force was, it could maximize its function. Xiao Qi’s army could defeat the devil army again and again, which made the fairy army braver. The military force was divided into several small columns, and the middle one was divided into two. Chidi disdained these fairy soldiers, but after several rounds, the devil army was separated. Xiao Qi seized the time to use the Hongjun Crossbows to kill the enemy. Anyone would be turned into ashes as long as he was stained by the arrows with blood on them. The devil soldiers scattered in all directions with a scare, because they had witnessed the power of the Hongjun Crossbow before. Chidi gave a blow out, and then those fleeing devil soldiers were hit into ashes immediately. It did shock those devil soldiers to run back to the fight again. Even though they had known the power of the Hongjun Crossbow, they could not control their own destinies. Hongjun Crossbow blotted out the sky. Chidi thought he would not let go of any disgusting guy today. He gathered his spirit and threw out a burning blow. The fairy army could not withstand Chidi’s offensive and then fled in disorder by his Spirit Power. Although Xiao Nai was a fairy, he was not Chidi’s opponent. Xiao Nai was shocked by the strong spirit. Seeing the thing going worse, Xiao Qi gathered Spirit Power and threw a palm out for fear that the devil army would regain its momentum. The palm was so powerful that it stirred up the wild wind, which blew out the devil army’s camp. The Hongjun Crossbows were placed in order. With an order, the bows were aimed at the devil army’s camps. The arrows stained with the devil soldiers’ souls disappeared into the sky. On the clouds, Xiao Qi was fighting against Emperor Jun about the cultivation method. They were both top experts. And blood was inevitable during their fight. They had the same strength, so they were rather cautious about their attacks. Any carelessness could let the opponent grasp their own weakness. Xiao Qi had the mixed vital army to protect him, while Emperor Jun had celestial soldiers. Although Xiao Qi had Hongjun Crossbows, it was not easy to win Emperor Jun. So Xiao Qi thought he must think about a better method to deal with Emperor Jun. In fact, Emperor Jun dreaded the Hongjun Crossbow a lot. After all, it was the divine instrument emerging from the Chaos, tens of thousands of years earlier than these celestial armies. However, Xiao Qi also knew that his spiritual cultivation could not compare with Emperor Jun’s.
Emperor Jun was very sly. Chidi gave a palm, but it was intercepted easily by the mixed vital army. The two parties were in a stalemate. The longer it took, the less advantage Emperor Jun could get. However, Xiao Qi was on guard against Emperor Jun. I the sky, Hongjun Crossbows were placed in line, waiting for the order. The mixed vital soldiers had been waiting impatiently. So they had drawn the bows fully. A dense mark of arrows was shot out simultaneously with unstoppable momentum. Xiao Qi fixed his concentration and pulled the chief Hongjun Crossbow to full and aimed at Emperor Jun. The arrow carrying with Xiao Qi’s 100% Spirit Power penetrated through the airflow and flew at Emperor Jun. Its momentum could not be stopped by the defensive cover. Emperor Jun was forced to withdraw several steps. But the Hongjun Arrow followed him tightly. It was about to pierce into the defensive cover, when a black shadow leaped into the sky and blocked the Hongjun Arrow. Blood ran down his clothes. A sturdy body fell down slowly. No one had imagined that the sly Nascent Soul would come out to block the arrow for Emperor Jun. Emperor Jun was panic-stricken and then surprised. But for Nascent Soul, Emperor Jun knew that he would have been killed by the Crossbow. Then, Chidi rushed up.
“Martial nephew is leaving...” Nascent Soul’s eyes blurred, and tears came out. But for the Grandmaster’s saving benevolence, the fire tribe could not have developed into today’s stage. So Nascent Soul did not regret to follow his Grandmaster. Even though Nascent Soul abandoned his daughter, he was still loyal to Chidi.
“It will be okay...” Chidi felt sorry for Nascent Soul. Spirit Power surged out, as the blood poured out of Nascent Soul’s mouth. His spirit changed from thick to thin. Nascent Soul kept twitching, and he curled himself up. Hongjun Crossbow could pierce through Pangu’s Armor, not to mention to kill a fairy like Nascent Soul.
“Grand... master... I’m afraid that the fire tribe will be extinguished...” If the fire tribe which Nascent Soul had spent his life protecting would fall to a part of the Fairy Kingdom, Nascent Soul could not die at peace.
“I will protect it for you.”
No matter how ruthless Chidi was, he still showed some sincerity to Nascent Soul. Spirit Power continued to be instilled into Nascent Soul’s body, but it was still impossible to save the one injured by Hongjun Crossbow. Nascent Soul became feebler. After a streak of spirit light, hatred brought catastrophe and dragged the fire tribe into war. Xiao Qi did not fear the Triple Alliance’s simultaneous attack. Even though the fire tribe had been well prepared, it could not fight against the Hongjun Crossbows’ attacks. The fire tribe’s army followed the allied forces against the mixed vital army. However, the allied forces only had 50,000 soldiers. How could they resist Xiao Qi’s 200,000 soldiers? The devil army suffered heavy losses in the battle, and the Immense Sea and the Ninth-level Heaven were no exception. The Triple Alliance must cheer up themselves in the battle if they wanted to win next time. Emperor Jun had been exhausted after several rounds of fights. The celestial soldiers set the sword array to face the mixed vital army. Chidi seized the time to launch another round of attacks. The devil army rushed to the clouds. And the devil spell stirred up the thunder and lightning. Sparks of lightning came out in all directions. Those charred soldiers lay on the ground and convulsed.
Zhu Jiuyin spread his Spirit Power, and his limbs changed. The sky was covered with black shadows. The mixed vital army had not seen such a giant and fell in a mess. Xiao Nai was astonished, as it was his first time to see such a big monster. On the top of the sea of clouds, Zhu Jiuyin waved his long arms and slammed toward the fairy army. Seeing it, Xiao Qi hurried to call his spiritual saber out. The divine device absorbed Xiao Qi’s Spirit Power. When the Spiritual Qi surged, Xiao Qi lifted up his divine device and cleave at Zhu Jiuyin. The thunder and lightning smoked. Zhu Jiuyin’s huge arms blocked the thunderbolt. The bloody army ran to the clouds in a crowd and surrounded their master. Xiao Qi launched another fierce attack. The bloody army was not the mixed vital army’s match at all. Everywhere the arrows went, everything was annihilated. Zhu Jiuyin gave a palm out, trying to suppress the divine device. Xiao Qi gathered spirit and struck a blow out, but was stopped by Emperor Jun. The divine device was eroded by the strong spirit. Zhu Jiuyin seized the right time and gave one more blow. BANG! Numerous Hongjun Arrows flew at Zhu Jiuyin. The mixed vital army rushed up in a crowd but was oppressed by Emperor Jun. It decreased the fairy army’s morale. Zhu Jiuyin extended his long arms to sweep at Xiao Nai. Soldiers were torn into pieces. Blood filled the whole battalion. In the blink of an eye, everything was changed. Fairy soldiers fled with a scare. Xiao Qi was anxious but could not get rid of the fight. The fairy army was besieged by the Triple Alliance. The whole military camp was in a panic. Zhu Jiuyin’s body shook the earth. On the clouds, Xiao Qi saw the worsening situation and cleaved at Zhu Jiuyin. How could Emperor Jun let go of this chance? Spiritual Qi whizzed at Xiao Qi. The spiritual saber swept out. Xiao Qi smashed out as well. Zhu Jiuyin ducked the blow. Xiao Qi fired one more arrow. Zhu Jiuyin had no time to dodge this time. The bloody soldiers rushed to the clouds and surrounded Zhu Jiuyin well. However, the arrow was stained with mixed vital qi, so it could follow Zhu Jiuyin tightly. Hongjun Crossbow drilled into the body. And the chaotic qi spread and eroded Zhu Jiuyin’s body. His blood splashed and scared the bloody army. Zhu Jiuyin fell down like a falling leaf and floated on the clouds. The bloody army looked upon Xiao Qi with great hatred. How could the terrible man kill their master? They rushed to Xiao Qi. The mixed vital army ignored their own safety and forged ahead bravely. Hongjun arrows kept flying to Zhu Jiuyin, but he was not in the mood to continue to fight. Protected by the bloody army, Zhu Jiuyin thought the animosity between the Immense Sea and the Fairy Kingdom was set since today. Apart from Kunlun, Zhu Jiuyin hated the Fairy Kingdom more. In fact, Xiao Qi had cast a greedy eye on the fire tribe long before. So he would kill anyone who dared to block his way. The Hongjun Crossbow was so powerful that it could break Zhu Jiuyin’s last hope. The blood kept flowing on his clothes. Xiao Qi was driven by a crazed bloodlust and gathered Spirit Power to Zhu Jiuyin. Under the powerful spirit, Zhu Jiuyin was unable to take it. The man cast him a cold glance and injected the surging Spirit Power into the Hongjun Crossbow to launch an impressive attack. The burning arrows flew to Zhu Jiuyin. Two heavy injuries battered his original spirit. Zhu Jiuyin changed the Soul Seizing Spell of the Immense Sea. Chidi felt his scalp tingled, and he had planned to escape. But now, he seemed to be torn by something unknown. His body was out of control. Chidi jumped out of the corner and ran at Zhu Jiuyin. Actually, Chidi did not care about whether the master of the Immense Sea was alive or dead, but Chidi did not know why his body did not follow his order. Chidi flew up to catch Zhu Jiuyin, but Chidi did not know why he would do that. In front of the Heavenly Book, Chidi was scared, but why did he come out to save Zhu Jiuyin? How could Chidi know that when he was resurrected in the underground palace, he was spelled by Zhu Jiuyin. And his life had been controlled by Zhu Jiuyin. That was to say, if Zhu Jiuyin wanted Chidi to die, Chidi could not live. When the spell was activated, Chidi was just a pawn of Zhu Jiuyin’s. Chidi felt his heart hurt. Zhu Jiuyin murmured the spell because he was transforming the injuries brought by the Hongjun Crossbow to Chidi. The overwhelming pain attracted many devil soldiers’ attraction. Shenzong gave a palm, and the Spirit Power charged at Chidi. The devil army saw the worsening situation and rolled up Chidi to the clouds. Chidi wanted to escape, but his body was controlled by the spell. Zhu Jiuyin was heavily injured, and his bloody army suffered great casualties. Therefore, their lives depended on Chidi. When the spell rang, Chidi felt that his mind was messed up by the devil sound. He had nothing left in his mind but to save Zhu Jiuyin. Chidi tried all he could to break through the encirclement. After a hurricane, Zhu Jiuyin had arrived at the clouds. The devil army gave up attacks and fled away. The bloody army did not care about the Heavenly Book any longer, but just worried about the master, hoping him to hold up. The Hongjun Crossbow’s power battered his internal organs. They needed to rely on the master to save their lives. Chidi escaped and wondered why his heart was torn. He could not help but think whether he was controlled by someone else, and the person would be Zhu Jiuyin or not. Chidi cast a cold glance at Zhu Jiuyin, only to see the devil army safeguarding Zhu Jiuyin. Chidi thought only when he could kill Zhu Jiuyin, could he be freed from any control. But the moment Chidi was about to gather spirit, a tearing pain hit him.
