Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

85: Chapter 85 Slaying the Star-Picking”What?”

Old Freak Zhaixing wore a look of terror. He had originally thought that his Star-Shattering Blade, condensed from all the Dou Qi in his body, would at least be able to fend off the falling star before him, even if it couldn’t shatter it. Yet, he hadn’t expected his strongest attack to be so powerless.

”Mu Gu, is this what you called a Dou Zong?”

Old Freak Zhaixing shouted angrily at Mu Gu. He felt hatred—hatred for Mu Gu for deceiving him so thoroughly, and hatred for himself for wanting those few medicinal pills from Mu Gu. Now, he had thrown away his life for the sake of a few pills. How pathetic!

”No, I still have a chance!”

”I am a Heavenly Venerate of the Hall of Souls; I cannot die! As long as I can escape, I will surely gather the Hall of Souls’ army and capture this Han Li!”

Mu Gu wanted to step in and stop the falling star, but since Old Freak Zhaixing, a Five-Star Dou Zun, couldn’t stop it, how could he, a One-Star Dou Zun, possibly block it?

”Pfft...”

A black hand pierced straight through Mu Gu’s chest. With a look of disbelief, Mu Gu slowly turned his head to look at Old Freak Zhaixing behind him and said, ”Wh... why?”

”Mu Gu, you’re going to die anyway. Before you die, why not provide all your energy to me and let me escape from here?”

Old Freak Zhaixing looked frantic and bloodthirsty, with no trace of emotion left in his eyes. Under the threat of death, in order to survive, he chose to betray his companion.

”Become a part of me!”

”Hundred Ghosts Soul Devour!!!”

A massive amount of black gas erupted from the hand Old Freak Zhaixing had used to pierce Mu Gu’s chest, and countless chains burst forth, stabbing into Mu Gu’s body.

”Ah, ah... ugh, ugh.”

Mu Gu’s body rapidly shriveled up. His life force and Dou Qi were completely devoured by Old Freak Zhaixing, leaving behind only an illusory soul form.

Old Freak Zhaixing grabbed Mu Gu’s soul, swallowed it whole, and refined it in an instant!

”Hah!!!”

After devouring Mu Gu, the aura within Old Freak Zhaixing climbed steadily, directly reaching the level of a Seven-Star Dou Zun!

”Han Li, your death has arrived!”

”Star-Shattering Blade, shatter for me!”

After devouring Mu Gu, Old Freak Zhaixing immediately unleashed the Star-Shattering Blade. A blue blade light soared into the sky, hacking fiercely toward the falling star.

”Shatter for me!”

”Boom!!! Bang!”

This time, the Star-Shattering Blade did not shatter upon contact. Instead, it cut directly into the star. A powerful surge of Dou Qi erupted at the center of the star, and the massive celestial body exploded violently.

Debris scattered in all directions, turning into huge fireballs that rained down onto the barrier above Jia Nan Academy.

”Han Li, your death has arrived!”

Old Freak Zhaixing looked at the shattered star with joy. He knew that with such powerful strength now, he would surely be able to easily slay Han Li.

”Mountain Opening Seal, Sea Turning Seal! Combine the two seals!”

Just as Old Freak Zhaixing thought he could slay Chen Yang, Chen Yang suddenly teleported behind him, his palm gently pressing against the Old Freak’s back, right over his heart.

He immediately activated the God Seal Skill, which had been storing energy for some time!

”Bang!”

”Pfft...”

Old Freak Zhaixing spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he had detected Chen Yang, he had no time to dodge, and half of his body was instantly blasted into a bloody mist.

”Damn it!”

Chen Yang frowned as he looked at Old Freak Zhaixing, who still wasn’t dead despite having only half a body left. He could only say that as expected of a Dou Zun expert, his vitality was truly tenacious.

Feeling the life force slowly fading from his body, a look of despair flashed through Old Freak Zhaixing’s eyes. He was doomed to die. He had only survived the previous blow by relying on the blood energy he had devoured from Mu Gu.

But now that it was completely consumed, he could only last a few more minutes at most. A crazy will burned in his eyes.

”Han Li! If you want me to die, then we shall die together!”

Old Freak Zhaixing went completely mad and charged at Chen Yang regardless of everything, wanting to grab Chen Yang and unleash his final act of madness: self-detonation!

The self-detonation of a Seven-Star Dou Zun was incredibly terrifying; even Chen Yang was not confident he could survive it.

Moreover, there were many students below. He absolutely could not let Old Freak Zhaixing detonate here; otherwise, these people might all die, and Jia Nan Academy would completely disappear from the Fighting Qi Continent.

Chen Yang immediately used the Holy Light Technique to create an avatar. A figure similar to Chen Yang charged toward Old Freak Zhaixing and embraced him.

”Now is the time!”

Chen Yang struck out, shattering the space, and dragged Old Freak Zhaixing into the void.

”Boom!!!”

A massive explosion rang out. The space above the sky was completely shattered by the blast, turning into fragments that slowly fell onto Jia Nan Academy like raindrops.

In that moment, the entire patch of space completely vanished, leaving behind only void.

Su Qian and the others looked at the huge hole in the sky, completely stunned. Was this the self-detonation of a Dou Zun expert?

Space itself had been completely shattered and could not be repaired! It was truly terrifying!

”Hoo...”

”It’s finally resolved.”

Chen Yang slowly relaxed. His divine power was already exhausted. If another high-level Dou Zun were to come, Chen Yang might only be able to...

Looking at the unrepairable void hole in the sky, Chen Yang frowned. This wouldn’t do. Chen Yang once again used the Holy Light Technique to form a giant net, covering it to prevent the void crack from creating spatial turbulence that would affect Jia Nan Academy.

Chen Yang didn’t expect that this scene would later become a classic spot. Many people who wanted to break through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun would come here to comprehend spatial power, laying a solid foundation for stepping into the Dou Zun realm.

Chen Yang slowly landed on the square of Jia Nan Academy. Yun Yun and Gu Yuena rushed up immediately and embraced Chen Yang.

”Han Li, you’re alright. That’s wonderful.”

Yao Tianhuo had also watched the entire battle from within Chen Yang’s storage ring, and he had been sweating for Chen Yang.

”Kid Han Li, this old man admires you. To think you could single-handedly slay Old Freak Zhaixing, who forcefully broke through to a Seven-Star Dou Zun—this title of genius is well-deserved!”

Yao Tianhuo said with great emotion. He had actually wanted to come out to help Chen Yang, but Chen Yang hadn’t let him.

Chen Yang hugged Yun Yun and Gu Yuena, comforting them: ”Alright, didn’t I come back alive?”

”A mere Old Freak Zhaixing can be wiped out with a wave of my hand.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena raised her head and waved her little fists, hitting Chen Yang’s chest fiercely: ”Don’t take such risks next time. If you die, I won’t go on living either.”

Looking into Gu Yuena’s expectant purple eyes, Chen Yang slowly nodded and said: ”Alright.”

Gu Yuena beamed with joy and hugged Chen Yang again, while Yun Yun, blushing, slowly struggled out of Chen Yang’s embrace.

”Thank you, Han Li.”

Yun Yun had never rushed into a man’s embrace like a little woman in public before, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Chen Yang raised his hand to stroke Yun Yun’s smooth cheek and said: ”Yun’er, protecting you all is my responsibility. There is no need for thanks.”

”Mm-hmm.”

Yun Yun nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with love.
