As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills - Chapter 968

968 Chapter 968
Evading was completely useless!

The meteor exploded, and the commoners were riddled with injuries. Sikong Wuyuan’s hearing was damaged.

Jiang Ming stood on the ground safe and sound, and he had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the meteor.

Amidst the smoke, he raised his hands.

Spiritual energy seeped in, and the bones inside his hands could be seen clearly.

He seemed to have transcended beyond the mortal world.

“You… How could you?”

A trembling voice broke his observation. Jiang Ming looked up. It was Cheng Zhongping.

His body was swaying, and he walked unsteadily. He forced himself to release a torrent of water with all his strength.

The killing intent in his heart burned fiercely.

The king had to die.

The water surged and turned into a dragon, spinning toward Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was not paying attention and was hit by the water torrent.

He only felt something light hit him before it instantly fell to the ground.

He felt strange and turned to look at the thing, but it had already disappeared.

Cheng Zhongping clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, but he could not use his spiritual energy no matter what.

He looked down and realized that his hands had been bound by a vine.

The stem and leaves wrapped around him tightly, leaving bloody marks.

He was shocked and could not care less about Jiang Ming. He grabbed the vine tightly and wanted to pull it down.

Jiang Ming looked around and walked toward Sikong Wuyuan.

When he was an inch away from him, an invisible wall appeared between them, and Jiang Ming almost hit it.

“F*ck, what the hell is this?”

He touched the material on it and tried to break it with spiritual energy, but he found that it was impossible.

Sikong Wuyuan had also noticed the wall, but once he got close to it, he would return to his original spot.

He was extremely anxious.

“When did this barrier form?”

He urgently needed to meet up with Jiang Ming.

“Ah!”

Cheng Zhongping had already let out a miserable cry, and tears flowed from his eyes.

His hands were covered in blood, and the vines had already pierced into his flesh and bones, firmly embedding themselves in him.

Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan glanced at Cheng Zhongping.

Xue Qiqi suddenly floated in the air. She was controlled by some unknown force.

“Ahhhhh!”

A series of screams rang out as a circle appeared on Xue Qiqi’s body.

This circle sucked in all the spiritual energy in the area except for Jiang Ming’s and Sikong Wuyuan’s.

Cheng Zhongping was sucked dry and died.
Jiang Ming felt that the next targets were going to be him and Sikong Wuyuan. In a moment of anxiety, he clenched his fist and hit the barrier in front of him.

A huge hole appeared in front of Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan, but the edge of the hole was mending at a rapid speed.

Seeing this, Sikong Wuyuan quickly burrowed in.

Jiang Ming retreated to give him some space, but he was in a dilemma.

The moment he looked up, Xue Qiqi looked back at him with a deathly stillness in her eyes.

She shouted in a rough voice, “Your Majesty, you didn’t pass the test. According to the results, you should die to protect the secret.”

Huh? Was there something wrong with this woman?

He did not even take the test and he had already failed?

Did he even agree to the test?

“This inhumane test will end here!”

Jiang Ming slapped the ground.

The ground and the mountains shook. Xue Qiqi had no choice but to jump into the air to dodge.

Jiang Ming quickly raised his feet and a crossbow appeared in his hand. He aimed at Xue Qiqi and fired an arrow.

The arrow had immense power. In an instant, Xue Qiqi’s hair was messed up by the force, and the arrow went straight for her heart.

Everything was about to end.

Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Xue Qingqing appeared in front of Xue Qiqi and blocked the attack.

The arrow pierced through her heart, and blood flowed uncontrollably.

Xue Qiqi looked on coldly and even threw Xue Qingqing’s body to the side.

Where did Xue Qingqing come from?

Sikong Wuyuan had predicted this outcome and shook his head.

Xue Qingqing seemed to have lost her mind and was rushing to be beaten up.

Xue Qingqing smiled in relief.

This was a monster that she had been with for a long time. She loved this monster. It was worth it to die for him.

“The curse of the world is unparalleled.”

Then, Jiang Ming and the others heard another voice.

The scene in front of them turned into a square barrier. They were arranged on it like they were pawns in a game of chess.

Xue Qiqi dashed out and stretched out her slender fingers, shooting her hand toward Sikong Wuyuan.

Sikong Wuyuan wanted to counterattack, but for some reason, he could not move.

He could not help but curse in his heart.

Damn it, what power was controlling them?

However, he could not dodge. He could only close his eyes and wait for the pain.

Something unexpected happened.

He was safe and sound.

Sikong Wuyuan opened his eyes. Jiang Ming stood in front of him, while Xue Qiqi remained motionless.

“You pressed her acupuncture points?” he asked in surprise.

“Yes, why didn’t you counterattack just now?”

Jiang Ming was confused.

He was shocked just now. What the hell was with him closing his eyes and not retaliating?

“I couldn’t move. I could only wait for death,” Sikong Wuyuan said with a bitter smile.

He tried to move again, but it still did not work.

Jiang Ming found it strange. He checked his body from top to bottom, but he could not find any injuries.

He walked toward Xue Qingqing.

She was on the verge of death. Perhaps she would be in the same situation as Sikong Wuyuan.

That would mean that someone was controlling the two of them.

Xue Qingqing thought that Jiang Ming was going to kill her when she saw him. She snorted. “You can kill me or cut me up. I won’t answer your questions.”

“I’m here to inquire about your physical condition. Are you that unreasonable?”

Jiang Ming thought about it and tried to make her feel guilty.

He did not believe that Xue Qingqing would not react to his concern.

Xue Qingqing’s eyes softened, but they were still cold.

“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. You should take care of the others. The chess technique is not easy to break.”

Chess technique?

Jiang Ming did not expect Xue Qingqing to know everything, so he quickly asked.

“What’s that? Are we chess pieces?”

Xue Qingqing remained silent, turned around, and closed her eyes.

She did not want to say anything more.

Jiang Ming grinned.

She had still revealed some clues. These chess pieces should be them.
