Chapter 26: Crazy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhu Zheng saw that Xu Muqi had already pointed the magic tool in his hand at Wan Wan’s head.

If he really killed Wan Wan, he would suffer a huge loss.

Not only was he unable to build his foundation again, but he had also fallen to the Qi Refinement Realm. This was something he could not accept.

He was certain that his senior brother would not kill Wan Wan. After all, the Heavenly Demon Charm Body was a rare and peerless physique.

It was the world’s top demonic cultivator system.

But what if?

Zhu Zheng did not dare to gamble. After all, he had made so many preparations and spent all his life savings on this.

If Wan Wan died, he would lose everything, but his senior brother would not lose anything at all.

“What? Are you going to let me go if I come out?

“You should understand that I’ve paid such a huge price for this, so I naturally can’t give up. However, I also understand that once I go out, I’ll instantly be at a disadvantage.

“Senior Brother, tell me your conditions. There’s nothing that can’t be discussed.”

Zhu Zheng tactfully expressed some compromise, but the hatred in his heart intensified. If the array had not been tampered with, Xu Muqi would have died countless times.

Even though he said that, the chains formed by the array formation bound Xu Yunhe even tighter.

Xu Yunhe screamed.

This was a reminder to Xu Muqi not to be too presumptuous. He also had a hostage in his hands.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Just like that, neither could do anything to the other. The stalemate continued for several days.

Fortunately, they were all cultivators, so their mental and physical strength was quite strong. It was not a problem for them to not sleep or rest for a few days.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for the past few days, and they were also testing each other.

Both of them wanted to attack when the other party was not paying attention. The two of them were extremely nervous.

He Qingge and Wan Wan were also focused. They did not dare to be careless at all. Their lives were at stake.

After a few days, He Qingge’s mental state was tense, and he was also a little tired.

He had never thought that a battle between Foundation Establishment Realm experts would actually be like this.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the quiet space. The swinging chains in the air suddenly moved like a swimming dragon.

He Qingge was already used to it. In the past few days, the two of them had tested each other many times.

Xu Muqi wanted his disciple back, but he did not want to exchange hostages. He wanted both.

Knowing that Zhu Zheng had not come out for such a long time, it meant that he should have melted his Dao foundation and his strength had fallen to the Qi Refinement Realm.

This was good news for Xu Muqi.

This probing attack was the same as usual, but Xu Muqi did not underestimate it and still responded cautiously.

Who knew that when the chains approached Xu Muqi, they would instantly expand and bind him like a python?

The power and strength of the chains had completely surpassed the past. The chains had undergone earth-shattering changes.

“I was waiting for the array to be repaired. What were you waiting for?”

This time, the voice did not come from all directions. Instead, it came from the door.

“Didn’t you want me to appear in front of you? Now that I’m here, what do you want to say?”

The corners of Zhu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly. During the many days of stalemate, he was not like his senior brother who did nothing.

The array had been repaired. The array formation that was previously messed up by his senior brother had become much stronger.

Of course, it had not recovered to its perfect state. First of all, there was not enough time.

It was impossible for him to completely inspect the entire array formation of Beacon City in just a few days.

He only examined the core of the array formation, fixed the problem, and increased the power of the array formation.

If he continued to wait, he would naturally be able to completely repair the entire array.

The problem was that he did not have much time to be in a deadlock here.

After his Dao foundation melted, it was naturally better to build his foundation again as soon as possible.

Beacon City was under the control of the Tian Xuan Sect. The Tian Xuan Sect had already noticed something strange going on.

It had been more than two months since He Qingge’s original mission.

He had not completed the mission within the time limit, and it was a mission that involved demons and ghosts.

The sect would send people with a higher strength to investigate.

Therefore, Zhu Zheng did not have enough time to repair the entire array formation. After the core was repaired, it would be enough to deal with his senior brother.

After all, he had spent his entire fortune on this array formation. Early Foundation Establishment cultivators could not resist it at all.

The chains were firmly locked. No matter how hard Xu Muqi struggled, the thick chains remained fixed.

“Hahaha, very well, then.”

When Xu Muqi saw Zhu Zheng appear, not only was he not afraid, but he even laughed.

His lips moved slightly as if he was chanting a spell.

The method to melt one’s Dao foundation that Zhu Zheng used was given by him, and he had pulled some tricks.

Zhu Zheng’s pupils instantly constricted, and his expression changed drastically. The spiritual energy in his body was constantly melting, and the speed was relatively fast.

“Die!”

Zhu Zheng immediately responded.

The chains tightened, and the powerful force seemed to want to crush Xu Muqi.

Xu Muqi’s face was distorted by the enormous force, but he still resisted.

The only thing he could do now was resist. As long as he could hold on until the spiritual energy in Zhu Zheng’s body was completely melted, he would win.

Zhu Zheng had to maintain the array formation and consume a large amount of spiritual energy.

Xu Muqi’s spell made the spiritual energy in Zhu Zheng’s body dissolve rapidly.

As the chains strengthened, Xu Muqi’s robe was torn apart, revealing his muscular body.

His skin was as fair as white jade.

Seeing this, Zhu Zheng was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, other than specialized body cultivators, very few cultivators would cultivate body techniques.

Their time was limited, and they needed to quickly increase their cultivation level in order to achieve the goal of breaking through to the next realm and extending their lifespan.

Immortal cultivation was all about taking one’s life from the heavens. Nothing was more important than lifespan.

Body refinement was also a cultivation that consumed a lot of time and resources. For most cultivators, it was a waste of time.

Zhu Zheng instantly picked up the bronze lamp on the ground and injected his magic power into it to activate it. It lit up again in an instant.

He controlled the array formation chains and wrapped the bronze lamp and Xu Muqi together.

Clenching his teeth, he quickly formed hand seals with his fingers and chanted an incantation.

He directly detonated this level-two magic tool.

The powerful force instantly caused the chains to crack inch by inch.

Xu Muqi, who was bound together, was also directly blasted into a meat paste.

Even Xu Muqi’s Grand Moon Dark Jade Body Tempering Technique could not withstand the explosion of a level-two magic tool.

Xu Muqi had never thought that Zhu Zheng would be so decisive and so deranged, exploding a level-two magic tool as he wished.

Powerful energy ripples swept through the surroundings, causing the entire house to collapse. The chains that bound the Qi Refinement practitioners who were trapped here immediately collapsed.

They were free to control their spiritual energy again.

Xu Yunhe’s eyes glazed over. Fortunately, Zhu Zheng blocked the aftermath of the attack for him and he was not affected.

However, his master was lying on the ground in a bloody mess.
