Above Destiny

Chapter 733: Fight!
The Iron Enclosure, which should have been boundless and flawless, suddenly developed a huge gap, making darkness finite, the Iron Enclosure impenetrable, and all things finite.

The sky is cracked as if it were broken.

After the calamity, light cascaded down like a waterfall, piercing the darkness and flowing freely, spreading openly throughout the dark hell, evaporating countless souls.

Similarly, it also illuminated the deepest part of the iron enclosure, revealing a gloomy face.

Xu Youquan!
Unfortunately, this dignified celestial being was now bleeding profusely.

A deep gash exposed the bone on his wrist, almost severing it at the wrist. And in that severely injured hand, of the three Xu brothers he had been carrying, only one and a half remained...

To be precise, it's three and a half pieces.

One upper half, two lower halves.

They left Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingshou's backsides at home to hang on a tree; of the three brothers, they only managed to rescue Xu Lingwei...

Under the sunlight, a loud laugh rang out. A figure standing with his hands behind his back scrutinized his appearance and asked curiously, "Nephew of the Xu family, it has been many years since we last met. Why do you look so gloomy and as if you have lost your parents?"

His face was as white as jade, and his appearance was handsome and dashing.

So-called extraordinary talent is nothing more than this.

At first glance, he looks like a young man, showing no signs of aging. He is smiling amiably now, making it hard to believe that he was so ruthless just now.

Strangely, no matter which direction you looked from, the figure seemed to be facing you, looking at you, and talking to you.

The head of the Lou clan, a celestial being who has not appeared in public for many years, is Lou Suwen!
In fact, Xu Youquan and Lou Suwen had already sensed the danger long before the two sides broke off their mask and started fighting...

They even knew perfectly well that each other existed!

Similarly, they were locked in a stalemate.

Lou Jia Lao Deng was playing the long game, while Xu Youquan had no way to catch him.

The initiative has been lost! At this point, whoever jumps out first and strikes first will have to use their skull to receive the opponent's lightning whirlwind strike.

As it turns out, those who are unwilling to sacrifice their children will fall into the wolf's trap. Xu Youquan ultimately couldn't hold back and struck first, taking a hit from Lou Suwen's signature move, thus saving one of the three unfortunate children.

And yet, I still have to say thank you!
Because Lou Suwen really held back!
In order to prevent the Xu family from going to their wits' end, they carefully selected one person who was still alive for him. Otherwise, if Old Deng really got angry, Xu Youquan wouldn't get any of them!
Xu Youquan's expression was gloomy as he stared intently at Lou Suwen, squeezing out the words through gritted teeth: "You shameless old dog!"

"Ha, whether you have any shame or not is another matter. So you knew all along that I'm just old, not dead!"

Lou Suwen sneered, "For so many years, you've been stirring up trouble behind the scenes, but why don't you have the guts to come to Haizhou and fight me?"

"Old man, just wait to die, don't dream too much!"

Xu Youquan remained indifferent and mocking, completely unmoved.

He's an old coffin-stuffer who won't live more than a few days, with yellow earth almost burying his neck. He's at the age where he's trying to extort money from people everywhere. Everyone's too busy avoiding him to bother fighting him!

Winning but getting injured might leave you like Lou Suwen, tormented by old wounds for life, half-dead. Losing... losing means you might as well eat shit!
Once the fight starts, regardless of the outcome, Lou Suwen will win!
"Well then, our two families have had quite a few dealings with each other before."

Lou Suwen smiled and suggested, "For the sake of your life-and-death friendship with your grandfather back then, kneel down, kowtow to me, and swear that from now on, the Xu family will give way to Lou and retreat from Hai, and will not leave Dongcheng for the next thirty years... That will settle this matter today, how about it?"

"Old dog, do you really think anyone's afraid of you!"

Xu Youquan flew into a rage, causing the iron walls to tremble: "Don't push your luck! If you want to die, I'll grant your wish! If you want to fight, then fight!"

"Okay."

Lou Suwen nodded and smiled.

However, in his raised right hand, between the slowly unfolding five fingers, a faint light appeared.

It illuminated Xu Youquan's face, which was convulsing wildly.

By the time he realized what it was, it was too late.

Lou Suwen laughed loudly:
"Then fight!"

Three minutes ago, when the curtain covered the sky and enveloped the battlefield, it also obscured the dilapidated dueling arena outside the battlefield.

In the chilling silence, the spiritual sword in Ji Jue's hand appeared without warning, piercing into Seno's face and pinning him to the ground.

The spiritual energy flows, freezing both inside and out.

A shrill scream sounded.

Before the others could even speak, they heard Ji Jue's voice.

"Want to live?"

The simple three words abruptly silenced Sino's scream. Ignoring the blade piercing through him, he stiffly raised his head and looked at Ji Jue.

incredible.

"you……"

Ji Jue said, "Kneel down and be a dog, and I'll give you a way out. The Sukarno family can't stay in the Seven Cities, but they'll still be rich and powerful. They can find a good place and become the masters of their own land."

Sino was stunned; his pupils contracted instantly, and his lips moved, opening and closing several times.
"I……"

Do you think you have the right to negotiate?

Ji Jue laughed, sat on the steps in front of him, spread his hands, his ten fingers outstretched, his palms empty, there was no blue pill, nor red one.

It was presented to Sino.

"Choose, Sino, choose."

He smiled and said to the prisoner before him, "Will you be a good dog and die with the Xu family? Or will you be a vicious dog that devours its master and abandon the darkness for the light?"
However, time is short, and the opportunity only comes once; once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Sino's expression twisted and convulsed: "Our...our family...will not let me go." "If you don't act like a dog, do you think the Lou family will let you go? Do you think I will let you go?" Ji Jue retorted, casually throwing in the last straw: "Or do you think the Xu family will protect you after they pack up and leave?"

"You don't understand at all!"

Sino screamed, his eyes bloodshot: "I have the Xu family's spiritual contract with me, my life and death are entirely in their hands... No, you, you... you..."

He finally realized what was happening, and a chill ran down his spine: "You want the Xu family's spiritual contract!"

Ji Jue didn't speak, he just smiled.

Look at him.

Waiting, waiting, as if they could wait until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, until the unseen weight crushed Sino's spine inch by inch.

He dared not delay any longer and stated his final condition:

"I want to sign the contract!"

"Okay."

Ji Jue spread his five fingers and, as if by magic, produced a contract witnessed by Tianyuan. Even though it had no title or mark, it was so pure.

What's even more precious is its essence, which faintly exudes an aura of celestial beings...

Sino paused for a moment, flipped through the pages, and then became wary: "Why isn't it the Federation's name?"

"Stop beating around the bush. The Federation really doesn't care about this remote corner of Seven Cities. It would be a waste to use such a rare and valuable resource on you."

Ji Jue pointed, and the detailed terms flowed across the paper like water. "Sino, my patience is limited. You'd better not waste time."

This is the pledge of allegiance.

If they don't sign, they'll die with the Xu family. The Xu family will definitely survive, but the Sukarno family will surely die like dogs.

After signing, I can continue to live happily as a dog... as the Lou family's dog.

After all, no matter what the Lou family is like, they won't place a spirit contract with them!
Besides, there's no need for it.

The Xu family is still around!
As long as the Xu family exists, they will forever be the Lou family's dogs, or they will die! The entire family will be wiped out! In fact, given the Xu family's methods, even if they wanted to die, it would be a pipe dream!
A quick glance at the numerous harsh terms sent chills down Sino's spine, but then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"sign!"

Seeing Ji Jue's smile, he closed his eyes and said, "I'll sign!"

The contract was completed, split into two parts, and bound together on the souls of both parties, becoming an ironclad law that would remain unchanged for eternity.

Feeling that heavy weight, Sino felt as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Like a dog with a broken spine.

He closed his eyes, letting go of all defenses in his consciousness and soul, and stopped interfering.

"please."

In that instant, the old man convulsed violently, his eyes widened and turned bloodshot, but he couldn't even make a sound; even screaming became a luxury.

Ji Jue's spiritual hand forcefully penetrated into his soul, gripping the spiritual contract that seemed like a parasitic creature, entrenched in the deepest part of his being!
Without anesthesia, without planning, and without any sympathy or pity, and even to avoid disturbing the connection between the spirits and being detected by the other side, he simply and brutally dug out a part of Seno's soul.

With meticulous non-aggression, not a single tiny branch was missed, nor a single tentacle was lost. The fragile and sensitive spiritual bond was pulled out completely and without any flaws!
Finally, when he pulled his hand out, a cluster of crystals had appeared in his palm.

It beats like a heart, simulating the state of Cyno still being alive.

You're done!

Seno lay on the ground, barely breathing.

The absolute ruler and dominion still maintain control over the soul. Even if he is not paying attention at this moment, even if he has been separated from the soul, as long as the other end has a thought, he can still make Seno vanish into thin air!
"Who invented such a powerful medium for cursing?"

Ji Jue weighed the crystal in his hand and sighed softly.

This is such an important item, we must take good care of it.

While it might be of little use to a gentleman like Ji Jue who isn't good at transformations, what if it fell into the hands of some old hand who's an expert in this field? They could add some ingredients, put in some effort, and turn him into a little straw man before he could react... Wouldn't that be terrible?!

"Hey, you kid..."

A distant laugh seemed to drift on the wind, and Ji Jue's hand suddenly went empty as the crystal vanished.

They took the things without saying a word.

That's really impolite.

And in the sky above, at the very moment when the truth came out and the outcome was decided, a small straw figure appeared in Lou Suwen's hand.

It has eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and the workmanship is excellent, especially the expression, which is lifelike!
Using the remnant souls of descendants as the main body, the blood of the celestial beings just taken from Lieque as the medium, and the shadow of this true spirit as the core, the task is completed.

Feeling an almost universal resonance and a chill run down his spine, Xu Youquan's expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand, "Wait!"

"late."

Lou Suwen's smile vanished abruptly, her face expressionless, as she crushed the straw puppet into dust.

Suddenly, the giant hand phantom appeared in the sky for a moment, its five fingers contracting, causing the iron enclosure to shatter, as if the sky were collapsing!
Immediately afterwards, the sword-like Lieque extended straight down, slashing down on Xu Youquan, who was screaming in agony!
You say you'll fight, and you say you won't; you say you'll stop, and you say you'll stop; you say you'll dig a pit, and you think you can just walk away when you can't? Even now, you refuse to admit defeat or back down, and you're still hoping to only lose half?!

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

Go dream!

If you want to fight, then fight!
This is a rare opportunity. Before Central City gets involved, let's beat them to a pulp first!
