Chapter 1246: Mutual Destruction
"Back when I was around forty, I wanted to cultivate immortality and join Spiritual Mountain Academy. Humph, to my surprise, you, Chen Ziwen, just a student in charge of cleaning and guarding, wouldn't let me in! You barred me from taking part in the selection exam!"
"You looked down on me! Not only did you humiliate me, but you also slashed my face eighteen times, disfiguring me and ruining my life!"
"To cover up your crime, you ruthlessly attacked me, causing me to fall into the abyss of Spiritual Mountain Academy! Humph, did you think I was dead? I survived against all odds, and by a stroke of luck, arrived on Earth, where I cultivated to become a dominant force!"
"I didn't go to Spiritual Mountain Academy to find you, yet here you are on Earth. Chen Ziwen, today, even if it costs me my life, I will kill you!"
Standing before Chen Ziwen, who once humiliated him, King Skeleton stood motionless, radiating murderous intent!
The scars on his face were a testament to the humiliation and trampling he suffered from Chen Ziwen back in the Spiritual Domain!
"Even if someone helps you, I'm not afraid! Prepare to die! At worst, we'll perish together!"
Compared to his feud with Qin Tian, there's no doubt that Chen Ziwen is King Skeleton's archenemy, and King Skeleton is determined to fight to the death with Chen Ziwen!
"Humph, I remember now, your name is probably Sun A-gou (Dog), hahaha, I have an impression of someone like you, a worthless life. Killing you would just be another kill. Seeking revenge on me? I'm afraid you don't have the capability for that!"
Chen Ziwen sneered coldly. While King Skeleton was engaged in a skirmish with Bai Jingqiu just now, he had already begun gathering True Qi to restore his strength.
Now that King Skeleton's identity was revealed, he had no curiosity or concerns left.
"I didn't kill you back then; now I'll kill you once again!"
Two immortality cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining clashed intensely once more, like Mars colliding with Earth.
This time, after King Skeleton's black robe was torn off, he was enraged and went berserk. Every move he made was as if he was fighting for his life, with no regard for his own survival—
He was truly prepared to die together with Chen Ziwen!
King Skeleton, without reservation, released three Poison Pills from his storage bag. As soon as the Poison Pills encountered the air, they spread all around. The moment any tree was engulfed by the poisonous gas, it withered to ashes!
"Hahaha, prepare to die! I once thought I'd never avenge myself in this life, but today, since heaven has given me the chance for revenge, I can die without regret! Let's die together! Hahaha!"
King Skeleton entered into a frenzied mode, releasing all his poison, fully intending for everyone to perish here.
He knew well that with Chen Ziwen and Bai Jingqiu, two peak-level Qi Refiner cultivators present, he would struggle to leave alive. Given this, he might as well head to the Netherworld together; once his vengeance was satisfied, he could die without regret!
"Against the wind, run against it!"
Bai Jingqiu shouted and leaped, pulling the still-unreactive Ye Fan, directly towards the opposite direction of the wind.
It seemed this woman truly cared about Ye Fan's life.
"Cough, cough..."
Despite being injured, Qin Tian saw the poisonous gas blowing towards him in the wind and fearlessly dashed sideways.
"With this little trick, you think you can kill me? Fool's talk!"
Seeing King Skeleton's relentless attempt to kill him, Chen Ziwen laughed and said, "I've witnessed such insidious tactics many times in the Spiritual Domain; they're child's play!"
With Chen Ziwen's cultivation strength, evading the poisonous gas was indeed a breeze.
After saying this, he prepared to easily dodge away.
However, just as he was almost about to leap away, King Skeleton burst into a loud, deranged laugh:
"Hahaha, is that so? You think you can avoid death? If King Skeleton wants you dead by the third night, you won't live past the fifth! Let's die together!"
At this moment, disregarding his own life, King Skeleton flew directly onto Chen Ziwen, clutching Chen Ziwen's body and dragging him towards the permeating poisonous gas!
"You mad bastard! You're suicidal! Let go!"
Knowing what King Skeleton intended, Chen Ziwen was shocked; he hadn't expected King Skeleton truly wanted to die alongside him!
But he didn't want to die!
Chen Ziwen fiercely pummeled King Skeleton, channeling his True Qi power, causing King Skeleton to cough up blood, shattering three of his ribs!
But even then, King Skeleton still clung to Chen Ziwen, grinning fiercely: "Here on Earth, wearing a black robe for six years, not daring to face people, a fate worse than death! Now, with my revenge exacted, I can die in peace! Hahaha!"
"Leave the person!"
Seeing King Skeleton truly about to drag Chen Ziwen into the poisonous gas, Bai Jingqiu, who had not acted until now, finally intervened!
She leaped, her palm striking horizontally towards King Skeleton's chest!
If this palm connected, King Skeleton would be undoubtedly dead!
Bai Jingqiu thought King Skeleton would dodge, but after the strike, she immediately regretted—
This was a man determined to die! Impossible to dodge!
Indeed!
In the face of Bai Jingqiu's lethal palm strike, King Skeleton did not care to dodge and braced himself for the strike.
Instead, at this critical moment, with the last of his life's energy, King Skeleton held tightly onto Chen Ziwen, as both fell and rolled toward the poisonous gas-covered area!
"Let go! Let go! Madman!" Chen Ziwen shouted, drawing a dagger to savagely stab at King Skeleton, even severing one of King Skeleton's arms!
But it was too late; both were already inside the poisonous gas-covered area!
"With my vengeance satisfied, I die without regret! Without regret! Hahaha..."
On the ground covered by the poisonous gas, King Skeleton let out a final cry of satisfaction before falling silent.
Afterward, Chen Ziwen leaped up from the ground, sprinting out of the gas area.
"Ah!"
However, as Chen Ziwen flew into the air, he screamed in agony and fell back to the ground, his entire body suddenly enveloped by a black gas... He struggled and shouted, "Sister Bai, save me... save me..."
But Bai Jingqiu merely watched, knowing the black gas was poisonous and that Chen Ziwen was already poisoned, she dared not approach.
Whoosh, whoosh!
As the gas spread, both King Skeleton and Chen Ziwen succumbed to the poison, their bodies turning from gray to black, eventually turning to ash, leaving no remains!
"Such powerful poisonous gas!"
Bai Jingqiu watched with lingering fear, knowing how perilous it had been. Had she not acted carefully, she might have been caught in the gas herself.
"Sister Bai, Qin Tian is trying to escape!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan exclaimed in alarm, and Bai Jingqiu frowned, turning her head to see Qin Tian quietly sprinting to the side despite his severe injuries!
"Chen Junior Brother died because of you, trying to escape? Stay here and accompany him in death!"
Bai Jingqiu yelled, leaping like lightning to chase after Qin Tian!
