Chapter 833: Why Did You Come

"Hoo..."

In Jian Changsheng's pupils, the world seemed to be swallowed by flames. He felt the scorching heat that was constantly devouring his body and knew he could not sit and wait for death.

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and rushed toward Kongwang in the center of the flames!

The flames had covered the earth, and the heat licked his body, but he seemed not to notice it at all, only killing intent surging in his eyes!

Kongwang, above the flames, glanced at Jian Changsheng who was rushing over and snorted coldly. The sea of fire seemed to have self-awareness, surging from behind and turning into a giant hand, chasing to grab Jian Changsheng's figure.

Just as Jian Changsheng was about to be caught, a pair of palms calmly pushed aside the central fire pillar, and Sun Bumian stepped out.

Even though he was hit head-on by Kongwang's fire pillar, there was no trace of scorching on his body, as if all the flames had deliberately avoided him.

"Fire is auspicious; a great fire is an ominous disaster." Sun Bumian said lightly. "Using murderous flames in front of [Great Ominousness] is not a wise choice."

Sun Bumian stepped on the void, instantly arriving behind Jian Changsheng, and grabbed the chasing flames with force!

The giant flame palm seemed to be gripped by some invisible force, stiffened for a moment, then shattered, and then reorganized around Sun Bumian, circling his hands as if to please him.

Sun Bumian turned back and raised his hand again. The sea of fire blocking Jian Changsheng's path was instantly broken, opening a path to Kongwang!

"Go, I'll clear the path for you." Sun Bumian said.

Jian Changsheng held his sword in one hand, looked back at him, and snorted coldly, "I didn't expect to join forces with you one day... But don't think that our accounts are settled just like that."

"...How about I just let the fire burn you to death later."

"If we can't kill that guy, we'll all die."

Jian Changsheng didn't say more. He rushed into the sea of fire like a black lightning bolt with his sword. The sword tip first sliced his own skin, and the flying blood beads were flung toward the sky above Kongwang!

Just as Kongwang raised his hand to stop him, Jian Changsheng's figure instantly disappeared, swapping positions to directly above Kongwang!

"[Quake]!"

"[Fix]!"

The moment Kongwang spoke, Sun Bumian also spoke immediately after. The two voices were issued almost simultaneously. Jian Changsheng's figure did not pause at all, and he slashed at Kongwang's neck with his sword!

Kongwang, who was still using the Book God Path domain, could no longer mobilize the Force God Path and could only dodge backward repeatedly. He raised his fingertips slightly, and the ink sprayed crazily like machine-gun fire from all directions, being blocked by Jian Changsheng's sword tip with a clatter, emitting piercing sparks.

Jian Changsheng charged all the way with his sword, and coupled with his willingness to trade injury for injury, his speed became faster and faster. He actually fought through more than half of the domain and arrived in front of Kongwang!

Clang—!!

Jian Changsheng slashed out, colliding with the slender [Sword] character that Kongwang had replicated with his hand. The two figures were deadlocked on the ground for a moment...

But Kongwang was ultimately more skilled. Continuous brushstrokes emerged from the ground, piercing Jian Changsheng like thorns, as if he were a piece of meat skewered by four or five iron skewers, forcibly confining him to the spot!

Jian Changsheng groaned, blood flowing onto the ground like a waterfall.

"Two troublesome guys coming together... is just a slightly bigger trouble." Kongwang's voice sounded like it came from the underworld. "Just by relying on you, you want to kill me?"

"Oh? What if we add one more?"

Puff—!!

Before Kongwang could finish his words, the blade of a bone-carving knife had already pierced out from under his ribs, and scarlet blood flowed slowly along his skin...

"Why discuss the clown of a feudal lord..."

As a calm voice came from behind, Kongwang froze in place. He turned his head sharply to look, only to see a piece of skin floating silently in the air.

A figure holding a bone-carving knife was watching him indifferently. The moment he saw that person's face, Kongwang's pupils shrank slightly!

"—I can block a million soldiers with one sword!!"

A highly penetrating theatrical singing voice erupted from that figure's throat.

Boom—!!!

The next moment, a world-destroying fluctuation directly pierced through several streets, blasting a huge circular hole in all the towering houses along the path. The destructive power caused by this strike was no less than the shattering of the void by the Force God Path just now, and rolling dust flew up!

"Cough, cough, cough... No, did you guys see clearly just now?"

"Didn't see clearly, but did another person pop out of thin air? Where did he pop out from?"

"Did a bird fly over just now?"

"That sounded like theatrical singing just now. Is it the Theater God Path? But when could the Theater God Path turn into a bird?"

“……”

In the astonished eyes of the crowd, the flying dust gradually dissipated. A figure holding a knife in one hand stood calmly on the spot, also the source of the strike that had just pierced through all the streets...

In front of him was a pool of blood, and further away was Kongwang, who was missing half of his body.

The knife just now had pierced into Kongwang's ribs, and the subsequent world-destroying attack had almost directly annihilated him. Fortunately, he used the Ghost Path divine ability to escape in time... But even so, below his left ribs had been replaced by a circular void.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly;

"...As expected of the Ghost God Path, to be able to dodge even this."

Chen Ling had actually arrived just when Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng joined forces, but he had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike... It wasn't until Kongwang was completely attracted by the cooperation of the two and had spent some effort to control Jian Changsheng, slightly letting down his guard, that he struck like thunder.

And in order to kill with one blow, he even directly used his strongest trump card, [Sleeve-Hand Pushing the Sky], but unfortunately, he still let Kongwang escape a disaster.

Jian Changsheng, who was pinned in mid-air by ink thorns, saw that familiar face and opened his mouth in shock, with a look of seeing a ghost!

"You... not... you you you..."

"Why did you come?" Chen Ling looked at him suspiciously. "Didn't you say you wanted to focus on snatching the Celestial Star Position? Why are you fighting Kongwang so desperately?"

Jian Changsheng was choked for a moment, "I..."

Chen Ling slashed with his knife, cutting off the ink thorns for Jian Changsheng and rescuing him... The latter looked at him, then at the "Chen Ling" soul floating in the air, and finally couldn't help but punch Chen Ling!

“？”

"Damn it, he's alive!" Jian Changsheng cursed, "Then what is that thing up there???"

Chen Ling looked up and saw the gray-clad Chen Ling in the soul army, who was closing his eyes like a statue and motionless. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Him... it's a long story."

"It's you!! How can you still be alive??" Kongwang was also incredulous, "I clearly captured your soul!!"

"So I said, you are a piece of trash... You can't even do it when given a chance." Chen Ling looked back at Kongwang indifferently, with some regret in his tone, "How about, capture it again?"

"This time, I guarantee you'll win the 'grand prize'."
