Above Destiny

Chapter 692 The temptation to go home

Ji Jue has always adhered to one principle: if you have a hand, you must really do it; if you have a plan, you must really execute it; if you have precautions, you must do everything you can to be thorough.

Even if the target is the 'cheap son' who's clinging to his leg and crying his eyes out, it's the same.

As soon as he got a few inches closer, a faint light appeared on the screaming Minkler, the sundial watch on his wrist was activated, and his eyes flashed crimson.

To guard against any hidden malice from Minkler, or rather, for his safety, Ji Jue planted a tiny… insignificant… backdoor in his equipment.

Then, the spirit of Pan Ying burst forth, and the aura of a great multitude manifested from his body, completely filling his soul.

What good is a fierce ghost?

After being given Pan Ying by Ji Jue, Ming Kele was even more ferocious than a ghost!
Under the corrosive influence of Pan Ying, Minkler went mad instantly, forgetting everything. He drew the knife from his chest and rushed forward to fight the unseen ghost hand-to-hand.

Amidst the blood-red slashes, screams erupted continuously, from the deck and from the mist...

The old woman screamed, her face covered in knife wounds, her fingers revealing bare bone, but her expression grew increasingly ferocious as she desperately played her flute. Amidst the boiling sound of the sea, more eerie silhouettes emerged from the water.

This time, it wasn't invisible ghosts, but countless living corpses crawling out of the water, clinging to the ship's side, climbing upwards, one after another, densely packed.

The piercing whistling sound continued, directed towards Minkler and also towards Jijue.

Hidden in the mist, the white deer went all out, its poisoned darts and blades raining down like a storm.

Well, you practiced very well, but don't practice again next time.

It's just a roadside stall, let's look at the distant "Hunter's Flying Light" (a type of aerial photography).

Ji Jue casually picked up a stick, turned his hand, and threw it out. With a loud bang, the 'shooting ceremony' he had stolen from Xiao An, which was essentially just a sham, instantly carved a huge hole through the mist, piercing through the eerie phantoms soaring in the mist.

Screams sounded.

The rain intensified, but Ji Jue simply raised a finger, and strands of silver light casually brushed them aside, completely unaffected. He merely turned around, looked at the half-eaten, crawling corpse on the ground, and gave a mocking smile.

How long are you planning to stay here?
The zombie hissed and reached out in vain to grab Minkler, but suddenly a figure curled up to its limit sprang out from its abdomen, which was dragging rotting entrails, and pounced towards Ji Jue!

Then, it was cut off in mid-air.

He grabbed her by the neck and casually tossed her away.

Ji Jue grabbed a hunched, withered, monkey-like old dwarf, his eyes bulging, his features bleeding, and he had no chance to use his skills.

The metallic downpour outside abruptly stopped; it was all a charade.

To be fair, this feint was quite skillful, and the way he pounced was three parts force and seven parts reserve, it was basically a feint to escape.

Unfortunately, whether it's hiding and lying in wait or launching a surprise attack, it's all too risky!
Under the wolf's malicious perception, everything was clearly visible.

After grabbing his neck, he fired a shot and settled the score.

There wasn't even time to scream for help.

The old woman in the mist stared wide-eyed, her expression one of terror and disbelief.

—Just as Ji Jue was attacked, Minkler's expression suddenly froze.

A soft voice reached his ear, calling his childhood name, his real name that had been hidden since birth and never known to anyone else.

It was like a mother's gentle call.

He instinctively wanted to turn around, but then he smelled a foul stench emanating from behind him.

As the urge to respond arose within him, the shadow of a decaying skeleton appeared out of thin air behind him, pressed against him, entangled with him, its lips parted, taking a deep breath.

It rips at the soul, shatters consciousness, and obliterates the self.

This is the real killer move!

Ji Jue was completely unable to intervene or stop the curse of this bloodline.

Minkler could only roar in grief and indignation.

It wasn't out of fear of his own death, but because he recognized the source of this vicious tactic and the ingredients it required—Minkler's umbilical cord blood, and the ashes of his loved ones!
That truly best, foolish woman, that poor wretch who had long since drowned in the pond behind Chopra's house...

"You, you...you will all die!"

His eyelids ripped open, his eyes turning bloodshot as if burned by flames, as he screamed shrilly, "I'll kill you all!!!"

On his wrist, the sundial vibrated again, and from among the three intertwined spirits, an invisible and formless spiritual sword suddenly materialized out of thin air, piercing into Minkler's consciousness, causing his eyes to involuntarily turn white.

A burst of intense light!

A scream erupted from behind him, and his rotting face, as if burned by flames, rapidly crumbled and turned to ashes. In the deepest part of the mist, the old woman on the reef and her companion holding the water mirror cried out in unison. The water mirror fell to the ground, shattered, and broke completely.

The ether in charge of the ceremony was speechless. He fell backward, his eyes empty, still holding a trace of resentment and despair.

His soul was torn apart by the backlash from the curse and the spiritual sword that pierced through the air, and he died on the spot.

On the contrary, the old woman's face turned pale, and she looked at everything in horror before letting out a sigh of relief.

Sensing the hatred her daughter felt before her death, she hesitated to speak.

She wanted to say something like, "Don't blame your mother for being heartless," but unfortunately, there was no time left.

When she tried to escape without thinking, she saw that the fragments of the water mirror on the ground, after being out of control, still maintained the image of the other side on the mirror surface, which should have completely disappeared.

Those eyes, seemingly smiling yet not smiling, looked at her.

Asking questions out of curiosity from a great distance.

"Is there no work left?"

If there's no way to live, then die.

Ji Jue pulled out his pistol, casually aimed it into the void, and pulled the trigger.

Two kilometers away on the sea, a cracking sound erupted, and the old woman's charred remains fell into the sea.

By now, all three assassins who attacked have been reduced to ashes.

But the fog remains.

The malice remains, and has even grown more violent.

Beyond the mist, a man surrounded by eerie shimmering light grinned and exhaled a long breath.

Finally, it's done!

At that moment, the hidden realm, after a long period of accumulation and warm-up, suddenly appeared!

Everything within the mist is the area covered by the circle, the region shrouded in this destruction, the land he allows himself to ravage!
"Come die!"

As those hands opened wide, the surging seawater parted to both sides, revealing a bottomless abyss. The waves collided with each other, producing a sharp, deafening sound like metal scraping against metal!

Just as their hands clasped together, the seawater, which had transformed into an iron wall, suddenly closed in, carrying a terrifying pressure from the deepest part of the ocean.

Amidst a deafening roar as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, everything was utterly crushed into the world of anime!

then……

The dual-system chosen ones of Entropy and Desolate Ruins stood frozen in place.

The smile froze on his face.

Because the Prosperity didn't fall at all. Even though there was a bottomless abyss below, it continued to float in mid-air without any turbulence.

It's like floating in the air, with nothing to rely on.

No, this is practically air travel!

Do you think I rose up from the sea?

Sorry, I was faking it!
"really interesting."

Ji Jue laughed. Through the mist, he looked at the attacker, whose expression was frozen and chilling. Just as Ji Jue raised his hand, the attacker coughed up blood, forcibly activating the forbidden technique despite the serious injury.

The turbulent seawater solidified and froze again, locking the entire ship on the surface of the sea. In the sky, a meteorite appeared out of nowhere, burning with flames and lightning, vast and magnificent, and fell from the sky!

boom! ! !
In the blink of an eye, it completely engulfed the entire Prosperity, and then, like a bubble hitting a knife's tip, it shattered and disintegrated.

A faint barrier appeared in the void.

The Prosperity remains intact, though it looks increasingly dilapidated.

Unscathed!

Even before the meteorite could unleash its terrifying power, it was completely annihilated by the recoil force it contained.

The violent energy transmitted downwards was channeled into the sea through the ship's hull.

The frozen sea surface cracked, and visible waves spread out from the water that had hardened into iron.

With a single blow, the enemy was unharmed, and the territory was already on the verge of collapse.

The attackers were deathly pale and stood frozen in shock.

His body, however, instinctively took a step back, then another...

Not anymore!
run! Must run!
run! ! !
With a roar, he transformed into lightning and sped away, disappearing into the distance in an instant. In his terror, he subconsciously looked back, only to see the Prosperity still parked in the same spot.

And there's Ji Jue on the deck.

He held out his hand.

He pointed it out from afar.

Thus, Zhanlu—

Between heaven and earth, purple lightning streaked across the sky, flashing by in an instant, piercing through the energy-formed Chosen One. Rolling black flames spread, forcibly squeezing him out of his energy state, turning his entire body into charred remains as he plummeted to the earth.

In his terror, his body was covered in creations that began to glow, only to shatter rapidly.

Finally, the pocket watch in his arms clicked.

The severely injured Chosen One couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.

It worked!
The light had already enveloped his body, pulling him towards the predetermined coordinates, instantly teleporting him!

Then he came to the bow of the Prosperity...

I saw Ji Jue.

"It's so nice to see you."

Ji Jue smiled and raised his hand in a gesture: "You seem to be quite happy too?"

very nice.

Everyone is very happy.

The little ox and horse were also very happy. No, should we call it a little ox and horse now, or a big ox and horse? Or Juque or Longshan?
It doesn't matter.

It's time to eat!

Amidst the sound of steel rubbing together, the mottled paint on the bow peeled off again, and the rusty iron plate split open to both sides, like a slowly opening mouth.

Without hesitation, I opened my mouth and ate the breakfast that had been delivered to my door!
boom!
The iron teeth snapped shut, and blood splattered.

As the bow of the ship opened and closed repeatedly, screams of agony came from within the hull, shrill and piercing, with flashes of electricity and flames constantly emerging from between their teeth. Gradually, however, they faded into silence.

Only the crisp sound of flesh turning into scraps spread from the ravenous gluttons.

So pleasant to the ear.

Finally, the Prosperity opened its mouth again, hetui~.

From beneath the crack in the deck, a complete head emerged, its face contorted in terror and horror.

"Hey, you can even use someone at the Transcendent level as an assassin. It seems your friend behind the scenes is really determined to get you."

Ji Jue sighed softly, kicked the head under his foot, and kicked it towards the distraught Minkler: "Who is this? Do you recognize him?"

"Don't look at it."

Minkler gave a weary smile: "Mintarecha is a subordinate recruited by my sixth sister. I even poured him a drink before..."

"Oh, right, harmony in the family brings prosperity in everything, I understand, I understand." Ji Jue nodded: "As expected of a big family, they know how to manage money. They sent you a gift before you even got home."

"I'm sorry, Ji Jue."

Minkler rubbed his face, wiping away his tears and snot: "I'm afraid even if I go back to Elephant Continent, I won't be able to go home."

"Ok?"

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, then he was amused.

"No, could you please tell me..." Ji Jue asked curiously, "Why do you want to go home?"

"what?"

Minkler was dumbfounded.
