Chapter 1289: Unyielding
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Caesar didn't move for even a bit, but his punches had filled the void by Carefree and created an endless magical world.
"You're much better than your father. You're closer to Second Sky of Immortal Realm than the other two. You've comprehended the ultimate essence of Lightning. But it's unfortunate that your soul can't transform yet." Carefree looked at Caesar and complimented, "But it's not enough to stop me. Anyway, I'm at a higher realm. I had to spend seven thousand years to break through to this realm. Thus, you can only watch me kill him."
Carefree looked at Xing Ming and smiled.
A crescent moon arose on Xing Ming's chest. It then stabbed his heart, broke his body, and shot towards Xing Ming's soul altar. The moon shattered his soul altar immediately.
Carefree touched his head. A bright full moon arose. This bright moon was so pure and was created by billions of the God power's beams. The bright moon changed and magically erased Caesar's punches in the air.
When Carefree was attacking Caesar, he killed Xing Ming. Unless Caesar troubled him and distracted his mind, Caesar couldn't prevent him from killing Xing Ming.
Apparently, Caesar wasn't strong enough to keep Carefree's full attention.
That was why Xing Ming was dead now.
Xing Ying's face was bleeding. She stopped pounding her head against the floor. She was ashen as she looked at her father who was a corpse now. Her face was dark and glum as if her soul had left her.
"Caesar!" Lorraine hissed all of a sudden.
Caesar wore a brave face. He had prepared to take risks. He looked as if he was struggling in his mind.
"Caesar!" hissed Lorraine once more time.
Caesar's tense nerves relaxed. The expressions in his eyes changed for a while before he resumed his normal visage.
Carefree looked like he appreciated Caesar a lot. His dark eyes became tender. He spoke up all of a sudden. "I'm here to discuss with the Thousand Fantasy Sect, Broken Hall, and Heaven River Temple. We want to exchange an entire star area for each piece of Bloodthirsty's remains. We can carry it out immediately."
Ling Xiang had guessed his purpose earlier. Hearing him, he replied with a forced smile. "We gave the remains to the new Master of the Bloodthirsty Force. We got a good deal already."
Carefree squinted. He immediately recognized that Lorraine wasn't here. The moonlight swirled in his eyes. After a while, he grinned. "Well, your Fantasy Star is really extraordinary. Even I was misled."
He moved and his figure faded.
Caesar and Ling Xiang exchanged looks. They were so frightened. They left and headed to Shi Yan.
Gulian, Ban Yu, and the others hurried to move to the palace that the Thousand Fantasy Sect had lodged the distinguished guests.
------------------------
On the other side,
"Carefree is here. You take the three boxes and leave the Fantasy Star now. They contain Bloodthirsty's remains. I have discussed with Caesar and Ling Xiang. Once you guys and the God Clan start the war, our three forces will support you." Lorraine appeared out of nowhere and gave him the three Heavenly Fragrant Soul Soothing Jade boxes.
She urged him to leave immediately.
"Carefree? Heavenly King Carefree of the God Clan?" Shi Yan asked calmly.
"Hurry up. I'm afraid the illusions of the Fantasy Star can't hold him for long. You cultivate Space power Upanishad, right? You better tear the void and leave now. Return to your ancient continent," Lorraine urged him.
Shi Yan lifted his head to look at the sky, his face grimaced.
With the connection between Shi Yan and Grace Mainland, he could return to the land with the last beam of his energy while he was in the chaotic space basin.
However, he tried and found the space was so heavy as if countless mountain ranges were pressing on it. He couldn't even move.
He immediately realized that it was too late. Carefree had noticed him.
"Carefree is here. I can't leave." Shi Yan looked at Lorraine and frowned. Abruptly, he turned away and grabbed Ouyang Luo Shuang. He placed one hand on her back and urged his power. He whispered into her ear, "I'm so sorry."
Ouyang Luo Shuang was shocked because of what Lorraine had said. She knew that her teacher was called Carefree and the one Shi Yan and Lorraine had mentioned was the Heavenly King Carefree, the peak existence of the God Clan. She needed time to arrange her thoughts.
As she wasn't cautious, Shi Yan grabbed her. When she recognized the situation, it was too late to wiggle. Shi Yan had controlled her body in just a blink of an eye.
Ouyang Luo Shuang felt chilled and she snarled, "What are you doing?!"
"I've told you before that I have to use you sometimes. And now, it's the moment." Shi Yan forced a smile and apologized. A strange light shot out from his eyes as he pulled the three boxes Lorraine had given him and threw them into the space inside his Incipient Extent. Then, his face became dark and cold. The murderous aura twirled around him brutally. "Sorry," he said.
Then, Carefree came from the sky and landed in front of him.
"Teacher..." Ouyang Luo Shuang screamed, her eyes regaining consciousness.
Carefree squinted and looked at her and then at Shi Yan. "You're the Bloodthirsty's successor?"
Shi Yan nodded.
"Only at First Sky of Incipient God Realm. Too low. I can kill you easily. Yeah, hand me Bloodthirsty's remains and release my disciple. I will let you go. I'm a man of his word," Carefree said indifferently.
"I want to leave and I want to bring Bloodthirsty's remains with me. Tell me what I should do?" Shi Yan replied coldly.
"It means you will die," Carefree shook his head.
Ling Xiang and Caesar arrived. Gulian and Ban Yu stopped far from them and watched with complicated eyes.
They hadn't thought that they would see such a situation when they came. They were dumbfounded.
Before Carefree had arrived, Shi Yan had said that Ouyang Luo Shuang was his woman. He had forced Caesar to admit his mistake and forced Xing Shang to chop off his arm. But now, he was keeping Ouyang Luo Shuang as his hostage to bargain with Carefree. How heartless was this man to be able to switch his face like that?
At the critical time, he could use his woman to cushion his back. How despicable and vicious was this man?
Many people disdained him. They thought that they had wronged him. He failed the others so badly.
Only Caesar, Ling Xiang, Lorraine, and Gulian nodded discreetly. They knew that what Shi Yan was doing was the only way that gave him a chance to talk to Carefree. They highly appreciated Shi Yan's evil and agile wisdom. They thought that only this kind of character could compete against the God Clan.
"I got two souls. You know this, right? If you kill this soul of mine, I can still exist. But I know your student can't do that. Yeah, I don't know how much you favor your student. Perhaps you don't mind her being dead or alive." Shi Yan looked at Carefree and spoke. "If so, I can only blame my bad luck."
"I know what had happened from Xing Shang's and Wei Yun's souls. Although you aren't my disciple's lover, you guys are friends. Otherwise, you wouldn't rescue her. Since you've saved her, just give me Bloodthirsty's remains. You can leave then. Is this clear?" Carefree squinted.
"I want to take the remains with me," Shi Yan was persistent.
"I believe that you won't hurt your friends. Your threat is just a funny joke in my eyes," Carefree sounded nonchalant.
"Oh, really?" Shi Yan's eyes were cold. A bone thorn appeared in his hand. With a swift move of his wrist, the bone thorn directly thrust into Ouyang Luo Shuang's abdomen.
Ouyang Luo Shuang went numb, her bright eyes filled with fear. She had never thought that Shi Yan would attack her. Feeling the agony in her tummy, she gritted her teeth in resentment. She thought that once she escaped, she would make Shi Yan lose his face.
Now she understood the strange words he had told her. She knew what "use" Shi Yan had mentioned. Although Shi Yan had promised that he wouldn't kill her, this wound on her body was real. She hated Shi Yan for his bold and cruel deeds. He attacked her!
Shi Yan could feel Ouyang Luo Shuang's body so stiff. As their bodies were so close to each other, Shi Yan could feel her resentment and even her soul movement.
Perhaps it was related to Ouyang Luo Shuang's activity in his Incipient Extent. It seemed like the subtle connection between them hadn't been cut off yet.
But he had no choice. He knew Ouyang Luo Shuang would trouble him later, but he had to be persistent now. Space here was locked. Carefree was at Second Sky of Immortal Realm. Thus, Ouyang Luo Shuang was his only escape. She was the last trick he had to protect himself. He was lucky that he could guess Ouyang Luo Shuang's teacher was some powerful character of the God Clan.
Ban Yu, Gulian, Guling, and the others were aghast. They were dumbstruck looking at the bleeding wound in Ouyang Luo Shuang's abdomen.
They didn't expect that Shi Yan dared to attack her!
Carefree hadn't thought that he dared to that, either. When Ouyang Luo Shuang was stabbed, he became hesitant.
He had anticipated that Shi Yan wouldn't attack her and what he had done was all he could do. He wasn't going to make it more terrible. However, it was just his prediction from what he got from Xing Shang's and Wei Yun's memories. He wasn't so sure or able to confirm anything.
It was because he didn't know Shi Yan. He didn't know how this successor of Bloodthirsty was.
At the same time, Ouyang Luo Shuang was the only warrior whose cultivation path was much appropriate in the past ten thousand years. That's why he decided to impart Ouyang Luo Shuang the marvelous power Upanishad even though she wasn't a member of the God Clan. He considered Ouyang Luo Shuang his only official disciple and nurtured her.
He had refined a moon for Ouyang Luo Shuang to cultivate. It spoke up the fact that he really favored and appreciated this disciple he had when he was already old.
He didn't want to lose this disciple. Thus, he didn't dare to bet.
"After I can confirm that I'm safe, I'll let her go," Shi Yan saw Carefree hesitating. He then grabbed Ouyang Luo Shuang and flew up into the sky. He didn't wait for Carefree to answer.
Shi Yan controlled Space power, but he couldn't tear the void to escape instantly. However, it wasn't a problem to fly now. He planned to leave this area and find the area Carefree hadn't locked to open the space passage there to return to Grace Mainland.
As long as Shi Yan could return to Grace Mainland, even if Carefree came there in his world, he had the guts to fight with that expert once.
He used to fight with Azure Dragon on Grace Mainland. He knew that even if he couldn't resist, he could still leave easily.
Seeing Shi Yan holding Ouyang Luo Shuang and flying away from the Fantasy Star, Carefree was outraged, but he was trying to press it dow. His face was sinister. He didn't linger on the Fantasy Star anymore. He immediately flew up and chased after Shi Yan. He planned to lock more space and observe Shi Yan. Once he could confirm that Shi Yan didn't want to kill Ouyang Luo Shuang, he was going to storm over to trouble him.
