As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1608 - 424: Emperor Xi Xi’s Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation, Let the Kids Fight—Old Folks Should Stay Out of It [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
If she holds onto it firmly, the Thunder Chess Piece will whisk her to safety.
However...
Flee?!
"Little girl... you're aiming to slay me? Me!"
Gu Chuan's raspy and deranged shout resounded through the air.
He seemed to detect Xi Xi preparing to activate that bizarre Teleportation Technique for escape.
The horrifying Qi-Blood from Gu Chuan twisted and expanded without pause, aiming to trap Xi Xi in place.
It wasn't merely due to Gu Chuan noticing the fearsome Pill Furnace hurtling toward the Divine Sect's Mountain Gate.
Rather...
The aura of the Grandmaster!
The Grandmaster has arrived!
By delaying this child just a bit longer, he could deliver her straight into the Grandmaster's hands.
After consuming the Forbidden Medicine, Gu Chuan had endured severe wounds this round, with damages far too immense. Failing to present this prime Human Medicine to the Grandmaster would mean Gu Chuan faced utter devastation.
Thus, he absolutely had to detain this girl right here!
"Aren't you playing the hero? Don't you wish to rescue the girls from the Ascending Immortal Pavilion? Those girls... they're merely Human Medicine. I've drawn out their Essence Blood myself, delivered it to the Temple God, and their emptied husks will be pulverized into paste to nourish the Demon Beasts!"
"Their suffering was immense, bled dry but clinging to life, all gaunt and skeletal... only their eyes darted about, staring at me in despair, and I crushed those pitiful looks one after another, slicing them apart—such thrill!"
Gu Chuan's raspy tone dripped with twisted insanity.
These words made Xi Xi's eyes flare wide in refusal.
Images of Little Lian in the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, the one she nearly freed, and the caged girls pleading for her aid flooded her mind...
One by one, their weeping and desperate expressions etched across Xi Xi's features.
Deep wounds they inflicted on her tender seven-year-old soul!
Yet... Xi Xi failed to rescue them!
Xi Xi's eyes abruptly reddened!
A raging anger, never felt before, surged up and seethed endlessly.
Gazing at Gu Chuan ahead, under assault from the six-barreled Immortal Artisan Gatling...
Xi Xi sensed her own blood surging hotly within.
Guilt, powerlessness, wrath—countless feelings churned wildly in Xi Xi's chest.
Xi Xi's eyes burned red.
"Xi Xi... couldn't save them!"
"Xi Xi must slay him!"
Xi Xi clenched her teeth hard, her plump fingers easing their grip on the Thunder Chess Piece bit by bit.
That villain is utterly vile, Xi Xi reflected... she yearns to end him!
In the instant that followed.
A dark Lotus Divine Pattern gradually surfaced upon the Brow Niwan Palace.
Next, a single eye of Xi Xi shifted to an inky black hue.
"Sister... Xi Xi desires to end him with her own hands!"
Across Xi Xi's soft, rounded face, her cheeks quivered without stop.
Her tiny tummy quaked swiftly at a pace too swift for the eye to catch.
Boom—!!!
A lotus of black flames erupted forth right behind Xi Xi.
It blazed soundlessly in fierce, shadowy heat!
A burst of fiery glow flashed with a "boom."
The Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear's violet fires morphed instantly to black, the whole weapon darkening to ebony.
Even the flames coating the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel shifted to deepest black.
Right then, Xi Xi's blazing rage settled into utter tranquility.
Indeed, it felt like every feeling had drained away from her.
Could this be... the strength from that enigmatic and powerful sister?
Her sister embodied true justice!
Quietly granting her this might!
Xi Xi, now invigorated!
This very instant...
The playful Puppy Xi Xi pauses her play.
The majestic Emperor Xi Xi strides forth with gravity!
Whirr—!
The darkened Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear lashed out savagely, carving a persistent crescent trail through the sky as Emperor Xi Xi's gaze fixed coldly on the warped and deformed Gu Chuan.
Like staring at a worthless slab of carrion.
Gu Chuan's features, after the Forbidden Medicine's effect, all contorted and altered, his malicious grin gradually stiffened.
Grandmaster?!
Grandmaster, come swiftly!
...
...
Fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh—
Seeming to harbor flames that blazed within without end, the Pill Furnace glowed a fiery red.
Resembling a shooting star streaking fast, the Pill Furnace soared.
In that instant, it halted sharply while suspended in the sky.
From the Pill Furnace's summit, its wide maw gaped open.
Exposing a slick, plump visage, as though crammed forcibly into the Pill Furnace.
A pair of eyes swiveled wildly in all directions.
The avarice etched on that face began to fade, replaced by a flicker of wary astonishment on the oily, corpulent cheeks.
At last, it focused dead ahead.
There...
Unnoticed until now, thick black fog churned, forming a grid like a chessboard of crossing paths, materializing without a sound.
And upon that board, as the fog swirled and cleared, a shadowy city took form.
Atop the tower at the city's gateway.
A robe of black, adorned with a golden lotus, billowed in the breeze, its wearer seated with back turned toward him.
"Children squabbling—must we elders truly meddle?"
"Are you courting death?"
