Chapter 710: Torture
Before anyone could react, two more muffled sounds rang out like something spherical exploding.
"Bang, bang."
It was a streak of lightning, flashing brightly as it penetrated the skulls of both Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran.
This was a fiery red long spear that had pierced through their skulls, blasting out a mixture of blood and brain matter, extremely cruel.
Everything happened too fast, angry shouts erupted as the streak of light flashed, blades tore through the air, and the two heads burst, all almost simultaneously.
The assailant was none other than Qinchuan.
Qinchuan emerged from the array, having just stepped out of the passageway he saw Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran, their divine skills blazing, pressing down on the bloodied Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er.
He didn't know what had happened during the brief time he entered the array, and without time to think, he let out an angry yell as the Chi Yue Spear appeared in his mind and he charged at them.
This strike held all of Qinchuan's anger.
Bai Yunran and Jiang Bing had just sensed the approach of danger when they felt a sharp pain in their heads.
Then their True Spirits drifted out, and they saw their heads had been completely blown apart, a mix of red and white. Only then did they realize they were dead.
Only after this did they see Qinchuan, who had rushed over in a frenzy.
"It's you! Qinchuan!" Their spirits were still scattering as they looked at Qinchuan in horror: "You... weren't you supposed to be dead?"
"What, that's Qinchuan, he's not dead!"
At this time, everyone turned their gaze at once, their minds stirring.
"Wasn't it said that he was already dead? How has he suddenly appeared again?"
Qinghui Holy Maiden and Zi Tong also stopped fighting at this moment, looking at the man ablaze with boundless rage.
Complex emotions flickered in Qinghui Holy Maiden's eyes, with a hint of joy.
She was happy for Yue Chan.
Zi Tong, on the other hand, glared at Qinchuan with a face full of anger.
This man, he yearned to flay his skin and pull out his tendons.
Wu Xin Fairy stood aloof atop the Divine Peak, and when she saw Qinchuan, a barely perceivable light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"He isn't dead!"
"Huo'er, are you alright? You guys aren't hurt, are you?"
Qinchuan moved swiftly, bypassing everyone, and directly approached the three.
They were drenched in a mixture of blood and rain, with their spiritual energy depleted, unable even to gather the simplest spiritual energy to shield themselves from the rain, pitiful and bedraggled.
Their bodies were even more horrifying, flesh blurred with visible stark white bones, not an inch of unmarred skin left, which evoked sympathy.
This only fueled the fury in Qinchuan's heart.
Ji Huo'er had fallen into a state of despair, with her spirit shattered, but she had not expected Qinchuan to suddenly appear.
At this moment, Qinchuan's arrival was like a gleam of dawn rising in the darkness, dispelling the chill and shadows that surrounded her.
At this moment, she once again felt the meaning and the hope of life.
At this moment, she could no longer hold back the grievances in her heart.
"Waah!"
Ji Huo'er, who had been holding back her emotions, could no longer contain herself and burst into tears, and without caring about her filthy state, she threw herself into Qinchuan's arms.
"Big brother, you're still alive!"
"These bad people, they... they all said you were dead!"
Ji Huo'er cried loudly and genuinely, lying on Qinchuan's shoulder, her face like a pear blossom bathed in rain. Her delicate little face, now smeared with blood, rain, and tears, looked so pitiable.
For several days in a row, she had been receiving the news of Qinchuan's death, and she had even come to believe that her big brother had truly been devoured by Strange Fire.
The continuous battles over the past few days had left her mentally strained, and both her body and soul were injured.
Seeing Qinchuan suddenly amidst her despair brought both joy and grievances.
"How could big brother die? It's these bad people spreading nonsense," Qinchuan replied gently. Seeing Ji Huo'er like this, he too was filled with rage, but he suppressed his anger to show her the gentlest side of himself.
"Help him take the Elixir!"
After personally feeding Ji Huo'er a Divine Pill, Qinchuan took out two more Divine Pills and gave them to Ling Xian'er to help Li Kaitian take them.
Li Kaitian was hanging onto his last breath, but now, with the life-extending Divine Pills, he finally moved from peril to safety.
"You, deserve to die!"
It was at this moment that Qinchuan finally turned his angry gaze towards the spirits of Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran in the void that hadn't yet dissipated.
Qinchuan's gaze was electrifying, his eyes red with fury, and the dreadful light radiating from the depths of his eyes seemed to shoot out from the Abyss itself, captivatating souls and causing Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran to shiver.
Qinchuan's entire body radiated a blood-red murderous aura, his ferocious energy wreaking havoc around him. The heavens seemed to weep, and the blood rain fell even more heavily, as the killing intent filled the air, turning the world into an Asura Dojo, a horrifying spectacle.
With every step Qinchuan took towards their spirits, Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran felt as if they were being brutally lashed by something.
The two felt that Qinchuan was a monster and were completely intimidated at this moment.
"What's going on? After death, shouldn't the spirit be absorbed into the Reincarnation Land?"
Having accepted their own deaths, they saw the monstrous Qinchuan approaching their spirits and wished to enter reincarnation sooner.
But Qinchuan had already used a secret technique to bind their spirits, preventing them from being absorbed into the Reincarnation Land for a short while.
"You think you can die so easily? How could I let you have your way?"
Qinchuan's expression was grim, his eyes full of murderous intent and exuding a terrible chill and cruelty.
"You shouldn't have opposed me, and you certainly shouldn't have taken advantage of my absence to strike them down!"
With a wave of his hands, Qinchuan seized the spirits of Jiang Bing and Bai Yunran in his palm.
In his hand burned a dark blue flame, and the two spirits were placed upon it.
"Ah..."
It was the Divine Soul Flame, scorching their spirits, causing them to scream in agony.
The torture of their spirits was like being slashed by a thousand knives, with a searing pain they had never felt before, piercing right through their spirits, a pain far greater than any suffering they had experienced before.
"Ah..."
"Ah! Qinchuan, you brat, I will never coexist with you.
If you dare, then shatter my spirit!" Bai Yunran cursed angrily, screaming miserably as his spirit contorted in the fierce flames, already deformed.
"I want you to watch your spirits burn away bit by bit!" Qinchuan said, like a devil from Hell.
"Ah—" Piercing screams echoed one after another, reverberating through the entire Divine Peak valley, causing all the cultivators present to feel apprehensive.
"Everyone, attack together, kill this boy!"
At that moment, Zi Tong shouted from a distance, seeing Qinchuan, he actually gave up competing with the Qinghui Holy Maiden for the Five Elements and directed his aggression towards Qinchuan.
"Kill!"
The disciples of the Jiang Family, already extremely angry at the death of Jiang Bing, rose up with Zi Tong's shout, as several streaks of light shot up from the crowd into the sky.
Zi Tong, the disciples of the Jiang Family, the disciples of the Zi Family, and a few other Divine Envoys with greedy hearts, activated their Divine Skills and rushed towards Qinchuan.
