When I woke up again, I found a small crack in the coffin, and everything outside was silent. My body had completely healed, just waiting to break free from its confines. My skin felt as if it had suffered no harm at all, and I could faintly feel shallow scars resembling those of a centipede.
I tried to push gently, and the entire coffin lid was pushed open by me!
Fortunately, the crack outside wasn't large. I crawled out of the coffin, now completely naked and without any cover.
I took a few steps and saw a figure sitting cross-legged. Without needing confirmation, I knew it was that bastard. Taking advantage of his moment of inattention, I kicked him hard.
The figure in the black robe was startled by my kick and jumped up in shock.
Immediately, I kicked again, sending him flying.
He was a puppet guarding this coffin, probably having not slept for several days. His strength was likely depleted, and since there was no one else around, he had no defenses at all. He never expected someone would appear behind him.
So that kick landed squarely.
By the time he reacted, he was already back inside the coffin.
The force of that kick surprised even me; I had managed to kick this person weighing over a hundred pounds back into the coffin.
"Who are you?"
I didn't wait for him to respond; I stepped forward and slammed the coffin lid down. The figure in black shouted loudly. He reacted quickly and struck the coffin with his palm, hitting the lid with great force. It took a lot of effort for me to subdue him.
I lifted the lid again, and what met his eyes must have been my twisted and sinister face.
The coffin lid shook a few times but did not budge.
A tremendous force pressed in from all sides of the coffin, yet it remained utterly unmoved.
"Who is it? Who is scheming against me?"
The figure in the black robe roared.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha... Who else could it be? Of course, it's me, the Old Man. You wanted to refine me to death, didn't you? Now the tides have turned. I'm outside while you're trapped inside the coffin. Let's see who ends up refining whom!"
"Xia Ji? How... how are you outside?"
I could hear a sense of despair and fear in his tone. He probably thought he was seeing a ghost!
"This is impossible... absolutely impossible... What the hell is going on? You should have been turned into a puppet! How... how are you still alive..." The voice from within was nearly breaking down, filled with profound despair.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He frantically pounded on the coffin lid, trying to escape.
The coffin stood firm and unyielding, as solid as a rock, not budging an inch.
"Hahahaha, truly heaven has shown me mercy. Thank you for your help; otherwise, I wouldn't have made it through this soul bridge! If it weren't for your electric shock, I wouldn't have had the chance for a phoenix rebirth!"
I couldn't contain my manic laughter: "Qingfengzi, this is your fate. No matter how you schemed, in the end, you were destined to serve me. Not only did you fail to refine me, but you also inadvertently helped me pass this most dangerous hurdle in my Dantian..."
"You think you know I'm Qingfengzi? What a joke!"
"I bet you're feeling sick right now, haha! Who else would be interested in me if not someone with obsessive cleanliness? If it's not Qingfengzi, then who could it be?"
"Out of respect for Qingyunzi, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll leave the coffin lid cracked; whether you survive or not is entirely up to your luck! Hahaha!"
"Don't go! Don't go..."
I ignored his desperate cries and continued to stride forward. I wasn't afraid of anything. But just a few steps later, I suddenly heard a woman's scream. It sent chills down my spine, and I jumped in shock, goosebumps erupting all over my body. My cautious steps turned into a frantic run as I bolted out without looking back.
...
Finally, I reached the tomb chamber and stood at its entrance.
When I saw the first ray of light shining through, I couldn't help but sigh in relief!
Living is just so damn beautiful!
"Hahaha, darling, I've finally found you."
The newcomer had an overwhelming presence.
His voice started from hundreds of meters away, but by the time the last word fell, a figure had already descended like lightning, landing right in front of me like a Bat.
Damn it, this Nikola was relentless, stubbornly searching for me!
He approached step by step, staring at me with a cold smile and said, "Baby, you really know how to hide. I searched for you for over ten days, but in the end, I still found you... This time, let's see where you can escape to!"
Over ten days just like that? I had no awareness of it at all.
"What about the others?"
"I've taken care of them. What do you want to do?"
In the next moment!
My eyes turned bloodshot, anger surged within me, and a murderous intent spread through the air like a blade.
"Hahaha..." Nikola laughed wildly, fully expressing the pleasure in his heart.
It seemed he wouldn't give up until he reached his goal. This guy had searched for me for a full ten days; if it weren't for a deep-seated grudge, what could possibly support him for so long? It looked like I was doomed, facing death alongside Youngster!
This was only the beginning.
I slowly raised my head, my eyes filled with fury as I spoke each word clearly, "Since that's the case, then let them accompany you to the grave."
Before my words fell silent.
A faint Killing Intent emerged from my body, and the Azure Dark Sword shimmered with a ghostly light. Huh? I could easily manipulate Killing Intent now. It seemed I had to thank that coffin from Azure Wind Master.
The overwhelming Killing Intent was formless yet tangible, rushing towards him like an attack.
Nikola suddenly froze. His pupils constricted sharply as he unleashed his strongest defensive technique. His face turned pale as snow, a thin layer of frost forming upon it, and his fangs gleamed like daggers in the cold light.
Boom!
Under the impact of my sword energy, Nikola was sent flying, crashing into the distant stone wall.
He looked down at his hands in disbelief. Veins bulged on the back of his hands, clearly visible like ugly, venomous snakes winding up his arms to his elbows. Drops of blood oozed from beneath his skin, and his fingers were already torn and bleeding...
His arms throbbed with pain.
"You..." Nikola stared at me in shock. "Your strength..."
He had underestimated me.
He never expected my power to have grown so much, catching him off guard and leaving him at a disadvantage.
I remained silent, filled with rage, and clenched my right hand in the air.
The Azure Dark Sword appeared in my grasp.
The sword sang like a dragon.
A terrifying killing intent spread around the sword's tip as if it were a tangible force.
The surrounding air seemed to be continuously sliced by invisible blades, creating waves of transparent energy that rippled through the atmosphere.
"Die!"
I gripped my sword tightly, the hilt shimmering with a blue aura that flickered like electricity. In an instant, I appeared before Nikola like a ghost, the Azure Dark Sword glowing brilliantly as I swung it down with all my might.
"Arrogant!"
Nikola shouted, surprisingly using his cloak to block my longsword...
Clang!
The sword clashed against the cloak, sounding as if it struck solid iron, producing a sharp ring.
Immediately, I unleashed a series of lethal strikes, the blue electric sword flashing as the blade's light pierced through the storm of sword energy. It didn't take long for the cloak to be completely torn apart.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
My Killing Intent intensified, and I sensed two ominous energies surrounding me—one was a strange golden aura, swirling around me like liquid!
A peculiar killing intent brewed in the void.
