Chapter 1377: Killing the Three-Eyed Fiend
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The Three-Eyed Fiend had come to the Eastern Sea City today specifically for the purpose of finding Qingfeng Li. Yet, he didn't think he would see Qingfeng Li here of all places.
"Qingfeng Li," the Three-Eyed Fiend said, staring at Qingfeng Li with murderous intent boiling in his eyes. "You killed my friend, Augustine, over in the Tiger Continent. Today, I'm going to kill you."
The Three-Eyed Fiend walked toward Qingfeng Li. With each step, a large hole appeared on the ground. It looked like the floor was about to collapse under his footsteps.
The Three-Eyed Fiend stopped before Qingfeng Li, leaving very little room between them. He intended to kill him.
A flash of cold light danced across Qingfeng Li's eyes. This damnable Three-Eyed Fiend, he actually intended to fight in the hospital room.
Beside Qingfeng Li were Ruyan Liu and Jiaojiao Liu, as well as the baby.
Qingfeng Li knew that he had to kill the Three-Eyed Fiend in one strike. There was no room for error. Once they both began attacking, the energy would blow outward in all directions, injuring the baby and the people standing around them.
"Three-Eyed Fiend," Qingfeng Li said, staring at the Three-Eyed Fiend with a murderous expression. "Since you have a death wish, I'm going to grant it for you. Today, I'm going to kill you in one strike."
"Kill me in one strike?" The Three-Eyed Fiend mocked. "Qingfeng Li, are you sure you aren't dreaming? Do you have what it takes?"
Before coming to the East, the Sky God Emissary had told the Three-Eyed Fiend that Qingfeng Li was very strong, but the Three-Eyed fiend hadn't taken the warning seriously. He was an emperor among fiends, a Fourth Level Spirit Emperor Realm master. His own strength was formidable, and there was no way he would be afraid of Qingfeng.
Qingfeng Li smirked; killing intent rising from his eyes. To kill the Three-Eyed Fiend standing before him, he knew he couldn't rely on his sword or his fists or any other attack. He would have to use the Golden Flames; he couldn't risk giving the Three-Eyed Fiend an opportunity to escape or retaliate.
Qingfeng Li called forth his Golden Flames. The flames appeared directly over his hands, dancing from his fingertips.
"Three-Eyed Fiend, you can go die now." Qingfeng Li extended his right index finger. The Golden Flames flew forth like lightning, drawing a burning arc in the air. Like a volcanic eruption, the flames shot upon the Three-Eyed Fiend in an instant.
At first, there was still a hint of a smile on the Three-Eyed Fiend's face. Thinking that these were merely ordinary flames, he was entirely unafraid.
But once the Golden Flames had fallen upon his body and had begun to burn, the Three-Eyed Fiend's expression changed. He felt a stinging pain, but when he reached out a hand to brush the flames off, he found that he could not remove them.
The Three-Eyed Fiend let out an agonizing scream as the Golden Flames set his body ablaze. The pain was excruciating. The flames incinerated his feet, hands, skin, flesh, tendon and bone, burning everything on his body
The Three-Eyed Fiend's shrieks grew weaker and weaker until, finally, they disappeared altogether. His body was reduced to a pile of ashes.
Watching this scene unfold, every face in the room wore an expression of shock. This was especially true for Niching Luo and Cat of Fate, whose eyes widened with disbelief.
Niching Luo and Cat of Fate had just been defeated by the Three-Eyed Fiend. They naturally knew how powerful the opponent was. To them, the fiend was virtually invincible, someone who could kill them with one blow.
But before Qingfeng Li, it was the Three-Eyed Fiend that was slain in one blow. Like a grain of sand, he didn't even have a chance to retaliate.
The two of them were even tempted to believe that this Three-Eyed Fiend was a fake. The events they had witnessed, however, reminded them that it was all real.
"Qingfeng," Ruyan's eyes showed a mix of emotions. "You've grown stronger again."
Beside her, Jiaojiao Liu chimed in as well. "Brother-in-law, you're amazing! You killed that ugly thing in one blow."
Qingfeng Li smiled. "Quick, let me see the baby," he said.
Ruyan Liu nodded as she quickly pulled Qingfeng Li to the baby's side.
As he watched the unconscious baby, Qingfeng Li's furrowed slightly. He felt a terrible ache in his heart.
Upon the hospital bed lay the baby, and black talisman scripts flickered all over its head. These were Heavenly Dao Seal Scriptures. Having studied seal scriptures before, Qingfeng Li naturally knew that these were a form of advanced scriptures from the Ancient Continents, Saint tier talisman scripts.
Of course, these were not Saints who orignated on Earth, but Saints from Extraterrestrial Planets who had died on Earth. Their souls are in the process of reincarnating and wanted to seize this baby's soul.
Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Cat of Fate all stood beside Qingfeng Li. These three were all Godly Beasts, each having godlike powers, and they naturally saw the baby's abnormal state.
Qingfeng Li turned to Black Puppy.
"Puppy," he said. "How do we use the Saint-Perishing Fruit to kill the Saint's soul fragment within the baby's mind?"
"We need to refine the Saint-Perishing Fruit," said Black Puppy. "Extract the juice within the fruit and feed it to the baby. Then use your Black-White Millstone to dissolve the Saint's Soul."
Qingfeng Li nodded. He knew that, despite being long dead, the Saint's Soul was still very powerful. Qingfeng Li was only at the half step Spirit Emperor Realm at the moment and was no match for the Saint's Soul.
However, within Qingfeng Li's mind, there was the Black-White Millstone. It was a millstone of chaos, born from the Chaos of the Universe itself. He also had the Soul of the Fire Dragon and the Soul of Dark Night Emperor. Qingfeng Li was not afraid of the Saint's Soul; as long as he could find a way to force the soul out, he could destroy it.
With a thought, Qingfeng Li retrieved the Saint-Perishing Fruit from his interspatial ring. He channeled his vital essence, trying to refine the Saint-Perishing Fruit. However, he found that he was completely unable to do so with the power of his vital essence.
"Little brat," the Fire Dragon Soul spoke within Qingfeng Li's mind. "The Saint-Perishing Fruit is a fruit that can kill a Saint. It's extremely valuable. If you want to refine it, you'd have to have the spirit energy of a Saint.
Qingfeng Li's brows furrowed. "Senior," he said. "My spirit energy is only at the Emperor level, it's nowhere near the level of a Saint. What do I do?"
"It's simple," the Fire Dragon's soul said. "I'll help you, and you can tell Dark Night Emperor to come out and help, too. Add that to the Black-White Millstone, and we will be able to refine the Saint-Perishing Fruit."
"Thank you, Senior," Qingfeng Li said to the Fire Dragon Soul with heartfelt gratitude.
The other was helping him, and Qingfeng Li knew that it would definitely drain the Fire Dragon's own spirit energy.
Qingfeng Li swore to himself the, when he gets more powerful, he would be sure to find more heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help the Fire Dragon Soul and Dark Night Emperor recover their bodies.
"Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Kitty," said Qingfeng Li. "You guys stay here and protect Ruyan Liu and the baby. I'll go next door to refine the Saint-Perishing Fruit."
With that, Qingfeng Li turned and left, heading to the room next door.
Qingfeng Li knew that refining the Saint-Perishing Fruit would cause quite the commotion. He didn't want Ruyan Liu and the others see this, nor did he want them to worry.
After all, he had the Fire Dragon Soul in his mind, along with the Black-White Millstone. These things were too far out of the ordinary and Qingfeng Li was afraid that they'd find it hard to take in.
Of course, there was another cause for Qingfeng Li's concern. He was afraid that when he refined the Saint-Perishing Fruit, the energies involved would ripple outward and cause them bodily harm.
