As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1608: Emperor Xi Xi’s Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation, Let the Kids Fight—Old Folks Should Stay Out of It
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Should she hold onto it tightly, the Thunder Chess Piece would whisk her away.
Yet...
Flee?!
"Little girl... you're aiming to slay me? Me!"
Gu Chuan's raspy and deranged voice resounded through the air.
It seemed he detected Xi Xi preparing to activate that peculiar Art of Teleportation for escape.
The horrifying Qi-Blood from Gu Chuan kept weaving and expanding, aiming to trap Xi Xi in place.
This wasn't merely due to Gu Chuan noticing the fearsome Pill Furnace hurtling toward the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.
That was...
The aura of the Grandmaster!
The Grandmaster has arrived!
If he could delay this girl even a bit, it would be like presenting her straight to the Grandmaster.
After consuming the Forbidden Medicine, Gu Chuan had endured severe wounds this round, with damages far too immense. Without delivering this prime Human Medicine to the Grandmaster, Gu Chuan would face the ultimate setback.
Therefore, he had to hold her back no matter what!
"Aren't you playing the hero? Don't you wish to rescue those 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!"
"They suffered so terribly, bled dry but still alive, each one gaunt to the bones... only their eyeballs shifting, staring at me in despair, those pitiful looks—I crushed them all, sliced them apart piece by piece, what a thrill!"
Gu Chuan's raspy tone dripped with twisted insanity.
These words made Xi Xi's eyes bulge in refusal.
Memories flooded her of Little Lian in the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, the one she nearly rescued, and the caged girls who pleaded desperately for her aid...
Their sobbing, imploring expressions flashed repeatedly before Xi Xi's eyes.
Deep wounds were etched into her tender seven-year-old heart!
Still... Xi Xi failed to rescue them!
Suddenly, Xi Xi's eyes flushed crimson!
A raging anger surged up like never before, churning without end.
Gazing at Gu Chuan ahead, under relentless fire from the six-barreled Immortal Artisan Gatling...
Xi Xi sensed her own blood surging hotly.
Feelings of remorse, powerlessness, rage—all kinds of turmoil flooded Xi Xi's mind.
Xi Xi's eyes burned red.
"Xi Xi... couldn't save them!"
"Xi Xi will kill him!"
Xi Xi clenched her teeth hard, her plump fingers easing their grip on the Thunder Chess Piece bit by bit.
He's utterly vile, Xi Xi reflected... she yearned to end him!
In the instant that followed.
A dark Lotus Divine Pattern gradually surfaced at the Brow Niwan Palace.
Next, a single eye of Xi Xi shifted to an inky black hue.
"Sister... Xi Xi desires to slay him with her own hands!"
Across Xi Xi's round, childish face, her cheeks quivered without stop.
Her tiny tummy jiggled swiftly at a pace too quick for the eye to catch.
Boom—!!!
A lotus of black flames erupted right behind Xi Xi in a flash.
It smoldered silently, radiating intense obscurity!
A burst of fiery glow ignited.
The Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear swiftly changed its violet fires to ebony ones, the whole weapon becoming utterly dark.
Even the fires on the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel shifted to pitch black.
Right then, Xi Xi's seething wrath settled into utter serenity.
Indeed, it felt like every feeling had vanished from her.
Could this be... the strength from that enigmatic and powerful sister?
What a just and noble sister!
Quietly granting her this might!
Xi Xi felt invigorated!
This very instant...
The playful Puppy Xi Xi pauses her role.
The majestic Emperor Xi Xi strides in grandly!
Whirr—!
The darkened Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear lashed out savagely, carving a persistent moon-shaped trail through the sky, as Emperor Xi Xi's gaze fixed coldly on the warped and deformed Gu Chuan.
Viewing him like nothing more than a slab of lifeless flesh.
Having ingested the Forbidden Medicine, Gu Chuan's contorted and altered features, bearing a savage grin, began to stiffen gradually.
Grandmaster?!
Grandmaster, come quickly!
...
...
Fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh—
Seeming to harbor flames that blazed within without cease, the Pill Furnace glowed a deep red.
Resembling a shooting star streaking fast, the Pill Furnace raced on.
In that moment, it came to a sudden halt suspended in the sky.
From the Pill Furnace's summit, its wide-open mouth revealed itself.
Exposing a slick, plump visage, as though crammed forcibly inside the Pill Furnace.
A pair of eyeballs darted about erratically.
The avarice across the face gradually faded, giving way to a flicker of wary astonishment on the oily, rotund features.
At last, it zeroed in on what lay ahead.
There...
Without warning, thick black fog billowed, forming a grid like a chessboard of crossing paths, materializing without a sound.
And upon that grid, as the heavy fog swirled and cleared, a shadowy black metropolis rose into view.
Atop the tower of the city's main gate.
A robe of black, adorned with a golden lotus, billowed in the breeze, its wearer seated with back turned toward him.
"Kids squabbling—do us elders truly need to meddle?"
"Are you courting death?"
