Chapter 1516: Hard-Carrying the Ghost Path

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned.

He looked at Da An’s calm eyes and nodded:

"...Okay."

Jiang Xiaohua didn't say another word, raised his scalpel, and stabbed toward Da An’s heart like lightning!

Crisp, decisive, not even giving Da An any room to regret. By the time Da An realized what had happened, the knife had already sunk deep into his chest.

Da An didn't seem to have any intention of regretting it either. Even though the intense pain of his soul made him wish he were dead, there was still no ripple on his face...

He just nodded quietly at Jiang Xiaohua, and his gradually hollow gaze slowly looked toward the void above the Ghost Path...

The gaze from the Ghost Path also fell upon him at this moment.

The Ghost Path was watching him;

The Ghost Path was saying goodbye to him.

The corners of Da An’s mouth, which had been as unchanging as an iceberg for ages, curled into a faint smile at this moment.

Da An’s heart stopped beating.

Almost simultaneously, the Bai Qi remnant soul connected by the chains trembled violently. The patterns that had already covered most of it exploded instantly, turning into thousands of fragments that splashed and then gradually vanished into nothingness.

Bai Qi, who was being entangled by Chen Ling in the distance, shook violently and looked sharply toward that direction!

The half of his remnant soul that he had left in the Ghost Path... had disappeared.

With an incomplete soul, he could never complete the "Soul Return," let alone occupy this body completely to be reborn. The resurrection opportunity he had lurked for so long to wait for had been forcibly strangled in the cradle.

Bai Qi looked at Chen Ling with eyes as cold as frost. The killing intent around him surged like boiling water, and the long sword in his hand hummed violently!

"You cut off my path to survival, you... don't think you’ll live either!"

"Today, I will slay you, this Mocking Calamity, to rid the world of a pest!!"

Bai Qi was truly enraged this time. A black sword shadow that pierced through heaven and earth broke through the void and slashed down toward Chen Ling’s face!!

[Selfless Sword]!

With Bai Qi’s current combat power, plus the [Selfless Sword]—a move that kills a thousand enemies while damaging oneself by eight hundred—the pressure emitted by this sword was infinitely close to a Demigod. With this sword, the entire Ancient Treasury trembled slightly!

"HEART!!!" Jian Changsheng’s soul felt his heart jump into his throat when he saw this black sword capable of erasing everything.

Jiang Xiaohua and Chu Muyun on the side also had extremely ugly expressions.

Boom—!!!

As Bai Qi’s sword slashed down, a crack that seemed to pierce through the Ghost City spread wildly on the ground. Countless buildings collapsed toward the center, and a huge rumbling sound echoed over the Underworld River!

This sword could almost cause an instant kill to anyone below a Demigod, but even so, Chen Ling did not die.

Dust surged over the ruins. The body in the red-bottomed, black-patterned opera robes had already been cut away by two-thirds by the Selfless Sword, leaving only a small, blood-soaked torso falling toward the abyss of the sword mark on the earth...

Broken red paper drifted from Chen Ling’s wounds. From a distance, he looked like a torn kite.

Jian Changsheng’s face was ferocious, and at this moment, he felt immense guilt.

The fact that things had developed to this point could be said to be entirely because of him... If he hadn't been so weak, weak enough to be flushed out of his body by Bai Qi using the Underworld River, how could this guy have used his body to almost kill Heart?

At this moment, Jian Changsheng only hated that he was now a soul without the strength to truss a chicken; otherwise, he would have rushed up and perished together with "himself."

But Bai Qi in the air didn't seem to intend to let Chen Ling go.

If one full-power sword didn't kill Chen Ling, then he would use another. Anyway, he had already lost the possibility of resurrection. If he could kill the strongest world-ending threat for humanity here, it could be considered proving his own value.

However, just as Bai Qi was gathering his strength to use the Selfless Sword again, rumbling thunder suddenly sounded from the void again!

Bai Qi’s face sank. He looked up at the sky. The lightning bolts that had just grazed him were actually beginning to brew in the void again, even more intensely than before!

That was the killing intent from the Ghost Path.

Now that Bai Qi’s remnant soul had been destroyed, the rule conflict that bound the Ghost Path had completely disappeared. Now, the Ghost Path had only one goal... to erase this foreign remnant soul that had attempted a Soul Return!

Boom—!!!

Earth-shattering lightning struck from the void!

Bai Qi immediately flickered his body, trying to dodge this void lightning, but the Ghost Path Ancient Treasury was dominated by the Ghost Path. No matter how he ran, he couldn't escape the lightning.

As the first lightning bolt struck Bai Qi, a visible, terrifying sun erupted in the dimness. Its destructive power was even on par with the Selfless Sword just now, directly forcibly erasing a large area of Ghost City buildings.

Almost everyone in the Ghost Path Ancient Treasury covered their eyes to block the strong light from the lightning. As the dazzling radiance slowly dissipated, a charred body emitting black smoke fell powerlessly toward the earth...

Boom—!!

At the same time, the second lightning bolt struck down suddenly!

The Ghost Path didn't intend to leave Bai Qi a way to live. Dense lightning bolts erupted one after another, seemingly determined to hack Bai Qi’s remnant soul to pieces right here.

After Bai Qi was hit by the second lightning bolt, his body shattered by more than half, his vitality as weak as a candle in the wind... Even if the Bai Qi remnant soul within was strong, this body was still Jian Changsheng’s. Hard-carrying two Ghost Path lightning bolts under the protection of killing intent was already his limit.

And the Ghost Path’s lightning seemed to do even more damage to the soul. The Bai Qi remnant soul, which had been surging with killing intent, was directly scattered by the two lightning bolts, becoming withered and weak, as if one more lightning bolt would cause him to dissipate.

"Not good!" Chu Muyun said in a deep voice.

"If he takes one more lightning bolt, Spade 6’s body will die along with Bai Qi’s remnant soul!"

Jian Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat.

No...

If you want to kill Bai Qi, kill Bai Qi, why kill my body along with him???

Before Jian Changsheng could say anything, the third lightning bolt crashed down, its power even stronger than the first two, like a sword of judgment falling from the sky, striking straight at Jian Changsheng’s face!

Boom—!!!

The Bai Qi remnant soul in the ruins slowly closed his eyes.

Rebirth failed, hope for saving the world was gone. Now the Ghost Path was determined to put him to death, and he couldn't even kill the Mocking Calamity... He had lurked in the Soldier Path Ancient Treasury from then until now, and in the end, it was all for nothing.

Perhaps as they said, the era that belonged to Bai Qi... had truly passed.

Then, just as the lightning was about to crash down on him...

A broken figure in opera robes flew out!!

The figure in opera robes was like a moth to a flame, rushing directly toward the striking lightning, using his remaining broken body to collide with the lightning bolt!!

In an instant,

The dazzling, thunderous sun bloomed in the Ghost Path Ancient Treasury once again!!
