Chapter 603: Martial Sage Kong Is Dead! (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Compared to Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit who could easily kill batch after batch of Saijin Demons, only when it was their turn to fight the Saijin Demons did they realize how terrifying these demons were!
Their powerful physical bodies and terrifying defense were almost impossible to break through. They could only break their joints.
How could this bit of strength kill the Saijin Demons?
Zeng Busi and Xiahou Chuanwu were basically escaping, running as they led the Saijin Demons around.
As they struggle to persevere, through its Primordial Spirit divine consciousness, Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit finally figured out how to destroy the demonic artifact.
The third step was not about the inside of the demonic artifact, but at the intersection point where it connected to the Two-World Gate.
This intersection was formed from the energy released by the demonic artifact and the power of the Two-World Gate.
All Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit had to do was break the balance between them and cause the demonic artifact to lose its connection. Then, it would slowly stop functioning by itself.
Once the entrance to the Two-World Gate lost its energy support, it would also close itself.
Yes, it wasn’t an explosion. To sever the passageway of the Two-World Gate, the demonic artifact didn’t need to be destroyed.
Of course, if the demonic artifact was not destroyed, it could be reactivated and connected to the Two-World Gates again.
Therefore, Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit still wanted to destroy it, forcefully destroy it!
However, before that, they could enter the Two-World Gate in advance before the demonic artifact was destroyed.
Destroying the demonic artifact after they had entered the passageway meant that Zeng Busi and company would not have to die here.
This was much better than what had been expected.
With this in mind.
Without another word, Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit released its strongest attack to wash over the intersection point.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Strange sounds were heard. In less than half a minute, with a bang, the balance at the intersection point was broken.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
With the intersection point taken care of, the demonic artifact lost its “connection” and began to stop by itself.
Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit controlled four Dao weapon throwing daggers to sweep towards the Saijin Demons that were chasing after Xiahou Chuanwu and Zeng Busi.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Immediately, wherever the throwing daggers passed, demonic blood splattered, and broken limbs were thrown into the air.
One by one, the Saijin Demons died under the throwing daggers.
Roar!
A few second-realm and third-realm Demon Generals roared angrily as they searched for Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit.
Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit ignored them and flew through the air. It caught up to Zeng Busi and Xiahou Chuanwu and brought them back to the passageway that had begun to close by itself. With a wave of its hand, it threw them into the passageway.
“Go!”
“Return to Earth Star immediately!”
“I’ll stay behind to destroy the demonic artifact! This artifact must be destroyed!”
Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit yelled.
As soon as it finished speaking, it erupted with all its soul power and executed the Firmament Nirvana Palm. It condensed its strongest palm imprint and covered the demonic artifact at the entrance of the passageway.
“How dare you!!”
In the sky, a furious shout sounded almost at the same time.
Boom!
Half of the demonic artifact that was unlocked exploded with a loud bang.
“Tss!”
A ray of black light that descended from the sky penetrated the top of the Primordial Spirit’s head, down between its eyebrows to its feet.
In an instant, space seemed to have frozen.
Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit turned its head stiffly and looked at Zeng Busi and Xiahou Chuanwu who were in the passageway.
Under the shocked and furious gazes of Zeng Busi and Xiahou Chuanwu, the Primordial Spirit body quickly split into pieces like cracked glass. Then, with a whoosh, it dissipated into nothingness.
“…”
“Martial Sage Kong!!”
Swish!
The glow disappeared and the passageway closed.
Zeng Busi’s final shout echoed at the foot of the mountain.
…
Earth Star.
South of Green Cloud Mountain.
In front of the mountain wall where the Two-World Gate was located.
Shi Que, Gong Junlian, Dongfang Pochu, He Sanxiao, Yu Huatian, and the others were still guarding the passageway, silently waiting for the changes in the passageway.
According to what they had agreed on previously, if everything was normal, the passageway would quickly close and disappear.
Now, the Two-World Gate was still open, and the lights in the passageway were still flickering.
This meant that the matter had not been resolved and the demonic artifact had not been destroyed.
As long as the demonic artifact was not destroyed, demons could rush out at any time.
Dongfang Pochu, Gong Junlian, and the others were guarding the passageway just in case.
If the plan failed, they would be the first line of defense against the demons’ invasion of Earth Star.
If the demons really invaded Earth Star, none of them would be able to escape!
Waiting in silence——
“It’s closing, the passageway is closing!”
A cry of alarm suddenly sounded.
“It’s really closing!”
“Great, that’s wonderful!”
“Success! Martial Sage Kong and the others succeeded!”
“Woohoo!”
Cheers and shouts instantly filled the air in front of the mountain wall.
The entrance to the passageway was shrinking on its own.
Shi Que, Dongfang Pochu, and the others were overjoyed.
With the passageway closed, the threat of Earth Star would be temporarily removed.
As for those who had gone over…
Plkch! Plkch!
Suddenly, two strange sounds sounded.
The excited crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people exiting the passageway before it closed completely.
“Zeng Busi? Xiahou Chuanwu?”
He Sanxiao recognized the two of them and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re back?”
“That’s great! The passageway is closed, but you guys can still come back!”
“That’s not right. Why are there only the two of you? Where are Martial Sage Kong, Sword Sage Pei, and the rest?”
“That’s right. Why are only the two of you back?”
…
The others crowded around Zeng Busi and Xiahou Chuanwu, who were lying on the ground, and asked curiously.
Zeng Busi’s face was blank and he did not respond.
Xiahou Chuanwu also closed his eyes, his chest heaving. He remained silent.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Dongfang Pochu shouted anxiously when he saw this. “Say something! What happened to Martial Sage Kong and the others? Why are only the two of you back?”
“Enough.”
Shi Que raised his hand and took a deep breath. “The passageway has already closed. The fact that Martial Sage Kong and the others haven’t returned has already stated the outcome.”
What was the outcome?
Sacrificed!
Zeng Busan, Bai Zhankong, Pei Donglai, and Martial Sage Kong were all dead!
Even though this operation was a success, the price paid was extremely tragic.
Four people were dead.
Even the strongest Martial Sage Kong had not returned!
For a time, the crowd fell silent. The excitement from before was replaced by grief.
“Woowoo!”
Zeng Busi, who was in a daze, cried out at this moment. “Martial Sage Kong didn’t have to die. In order to stay behind to destroy the demonic weapon, he let us leave first. In the end… in the moment the demonic weapon was destroyed, he was also killed by a demon expert who descended from the sky with a single strike! Wah!”
Zeng Busi cried in grief.
When Zeng Busan died, he did not feel anything.
When Martial Sage Kong died before his eyes, he couldn’t help but want to cry.
He didn’t know the reason, nor did he want to know. In any case, he just wanted to cry.
“Boohoo! Three and the First Chief died in battle, but Martial Sage Kong… Martial Sage Kong died too miserably! He was so powerful, but he didn’t even have a chance to unleash his strength before he was reduced to ashes by a single strike from a demon expert! He dissipated, nothing was left behind! Boohoo…”
Xiahou Chuanwu did not cry, but the frequency of his chest heaving suddenly increased.
The scene of Martial Sage Kong dying before his eyes was equally unforgettable for him.
Shi Que, Gong Junlian, Dongfang Pochu, and the others were shocked and filled with sorrow as they listened to Zeng Busi’s cries.
They could almost imagine how shocking the scene of Martial Sage Kong turning into nothing was.
“Wait.”
He Sanxiao suddenly raised his voice and said, “According to what you said, Martial Sage Kong has been killed, but like us, Martial Sage Kong also has a physical body and Primordial Spirit at the same time. Regardless of whether Martial Sage Kong went to the Continent of Divine Grace using his physical body or Primordial Spirit, now that one has been destroyed, the remaining one should still be alive on Earth Star, right?”
Zeng Busi’s cries faltered.
Xiahou Chuanwu also suddenly retracted his emotions.
Shi Que, Gong Junlian, and the others were also stunned.
That’s right.
They had almost forgotten that Martial Sage Kong also possessed a physical body and Primordial Spirit.
Before Zeng Busan, Bai Zhankong, and the others went over, their physical bodies were left on Earth Star.
Although the physical body would be affected by the death of the Primordial Spirit or Essence Soul, at least it would still be alive.
The same logic applied to Martial Sage Kong.
Therefore, Martial Sage Kong was not completely dead…
“Wait!”
