Free Web NovelChapter 1959: Chapter 1959: Two Powerhouses, Scared Out of Their Wits
They were almost of one mind; of course Su Yuexi knew that at a time like this, she absolutely couldn’t let him get distracted.
Even more so, she couldn’t rush out and give Pei Chang a chance to grab a hostage.
As for Mieqing Venerable, it was just as Su Yuexi had said—Sikong Jing didn’t want to drag her into this for the time being.
You had to understand: once Mieqing Venerable was implicated, it meant his younger sister could no longer stay peacefully and safely in Wunian Saint Sect. It would shatter her calm life, and that, of course, was also one of the reasons he had to lure Pei Chang away...
Otherwise, he could have teamed up with Mieqing Venerable on the spot. But as an older brother, how could he possibly let his little sister face danger?
Just as Sikong Jing’s thoughts were spinning, Pei Chang continued pressing down on him, saying, "Soul Dominator’s Heir, you bastard, how many times have you made me suffer? How many times have you made me lose face? I’m taking all of that back today."
"I still can’t kill you yet, but I’m gonna torture you..."
As he spoke, Pei Chang blasted out a surge of True Qi that crushed down onto Sikong Jing’s body. Next, he was going to vent his anger, hard.
He wanted Sikong Jing to understand what pain really was; he could drag him back to Qianwang Holy Tower for torture later.
But right then, Sikong Jing suddenly spoke. "Pei Chang, listen—what’s that sound?"
The words left his mouth, and Pei Chang froze, his eyes widening slightly...
He snapped his head toward the south, then gave a low growl: "A small Soldier Killing Array’s aura...and Feng Leibao’s aura, and Beicang of Overlord Commerce...wasn’t she being held up by Ye Wushen? How the hell is she here?"
At this moment, what Pei Chang sensed was exactly the battle between Feng Leibao and Beicang—plus, of course, Su Yue Immortal and Old Fat Head’s small Soldier Killing Array—and the battle was steadily shifting in this direction.
However, Pei Chang quickly stopped dwelling on Beicang and instead smiled strangely. "But looks like Feng Leibao is chasing Beicang and the others down. Hahaha... brat, your despair is only just beginning."
"You led me here earlier, didn’t you? Too bad it’s useless."
Pei Chang, for once, seemed to have had a clever moment. He guessed that Sikong Jing had lured him here to use Beicang and that small Soldier Killing Array against him, but unfortunately Beicang and the others clearly couldn’t beat Feng Leibao now.
Sikong Jing didn’t argue. He only replied calmly, "Then let’s just wait and see."
Hearing this, Pei Chang let out a vicious, savage laugh.
Then the aura suppressing Sikong Jing suddenly exploded, splitting into countless tiny blades that stabbed brutally into Sikong Jing’s body. Blood instantly sprayed like a fountain...
Pei Chang laughed maniacally. "We can wait and see, sure—but I’m not letting you have it easy. I’m still going to torture you."
As he said this, the True Qi daggers in his hand kept slicing into Sikong Jing—this was literally slow carving.
But Sikong Jing didn’t utter a single sound. He let Pei Chang do as he pleased; he didn’t even furrow his brows. By rights, such a horrifying torture should have had him screaming nonstop, but...there was nothing.
This, of course, pissed Pei Chang off. He roared, "So damn tough, huh? Then I’ll drag your Spiritual Shadow out and torture that too."
As he spoke, Pei Chang viciously yanked Sikong Jing’s Spiritual Shadow out of his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, then used every method he knew to torment the Spiritual Shadow. What drove him mad was that Sikong Jing still didn’t make a sound.
The torment of the Spiritual Shadow should have been a hundred times more painful than anything done to flesh and bone, yet Sikong Jing could still endure it.
Sikong Jing, of course, could endure it.
He didn’t care about torment to his flesh. Torture on the Spiritual Shadow level was indeed extremely painful and unbearable...but he had two Spiritual Shadows. All he had to do was pull all of his consciousness into the beast-shaped Spirit Shadow.
He didn’t intend to resist either, because Sikong Jing was waiting—waiting for Feng Leibao to arrive.
Where Sikong Jing and Pei Chang were standing now was exactly around the perimeter of the Beast Killing Array he had set up earlier. He had deliberately lured Pei Chang here. Breaking through to Emperor Martial Stage was precisely to ensure he could drag Pei Chang to this spot.
However, he couldn’t use the Beast Killing Array against Pei Chang yet.
Because Feng Leibao hadn’t arrived. Because he wanted to try and kill both of them here.
If he triggered the array now, Feng Leibao definitely wouldn’t dare step into it.
And the Beast Killing Array alone definitely couldn’t kill Pei Chang, so he had to hold back, had to join forces with Beicang and Old Fat Head.
"You son of a bitch, at least scream for me once, will you?"
Pei Chang was completely losing it. If not for Seventh Brother Pei Xie saying they needed him alive, he would have blasted Sikong Jing to death already. He hadn’t managed to kill him the last two times and it had him all kinds of confused.
He really wanted to experience that wonderful feeling of blasting the Soul Dominator’s Heir to death.
Finally, when Sikong Jing had been sliced so badly that even his bones were visible, the small Soldier Killing Array in the distance closed in. Sure enough, they could see that the ones leading it were Old Fat Head and Su Yue Immortal...
Beicang was at the rear, constantly blocking Feng Leibao’s pursuit and attacks.
Feng Leibao, meanwhile, looked as if his injuries had completely healed. His aura was overwhelmingly strong.
Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks...
Because they saw Pei Chang and Sikong Jing. In that instant, Old Fat Head’s eyes bulged and he almost blurted out the words "Young Master," because aside from his head, his Young Master Sikong had been tortured until his whole body was a bloody ruin with bones exposed.
Su Yue Immortal clapped a hand over her mouth at the sight, her beautiful eyes wide.
At the very back of the small Soldier Killing Array, Beicang shouted, "Sikong Jing...Pei Chang!"
Just then, Pei Chang ignored Beicang and instead looked at Feng Leibao, who was at the rear, and said, "We haven’t caught Su Old Demon’s second granddaughter yet, but I did catch this big fish. Not a bad haul at all."
Compared to Su Yuexi, the Soul Dominator’s Heir was obviously more important.
Feng Leibao also slowed his steps slightly and replied with great satisfaction, "Lord Chang, mighty as always... I’ve got a big fish here too—Su Old Demon’s surviving scum. Not Xiu Hanzi, but this fat fish is no small catch either."
The two of them locked gazes, their eyes shining, both looking extremely pleased, then turned to look at Su Yue Immortal, Beicang, and the others.
The next moment, Pei Chang said coldly, "Then, time to close the net!"
As he spoke, Pei Chang prepared to use his Emperor’s Artifact to bind Sikong Jing up.
But before he could move, Sikong Jing’s voice suddenly sounded calmly, "You can come out now!"
His voice hadn’t changed at all from the torture. It was still as composed and steady as ever.
Pei Chang and Feng Leibao, who had been full of smugness, both froze. What could possibly "come out"? Was there a trap?
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
All of a sudden, rustling sounds came from the surrounding Mountain Forest, and then one demon beast after another shot out from within the trees.
More and more of them, more and more terrifying...
In the blink of an eye, the sky and ground around them were completely filled with demon beasts.
Then... humm!
The first strike of the threefold Soldier Killing Array attacks Sikong Jing had set up earlier soared into the air, turning into two gigantic Arrow Lights aimed at Feng Leibao and Pei Chang. The tips of the arrows gleamed with a chilling light.
In an instant, the two powerhouses were dumbfounded.
Right after that, they saw that every demon beast’s body was linked with Soldier Killing Array Patterns.
"A Demon Beast Killing Formation?"
They muttered in disbelief, then as if thinking of something, they shouted at the same time, "These are the human-shaped beasts from Wanbing City in North Central Plains? Son of a bitch, how the hell did this cursed thing suddenly show up here?"
