Chapter 768 - Returning The Favor

Chapter 768: Returning The Favor

In just an instant, half of it was gone. However, right as his lifespan was about to hit rock bottom, a mysterious energy spread over from Hanxi.

This was Lifeforce!

Life Sharing Spiritual Contract allowed Zong Shou to obtain some Life Essence from Hanxi in moments when he required it.

He was still able to stand peacefully on the spot, totally unharmed.

When Qingming saw this, her expression changed. Her pupils constricted, filled with disbelief.

“How is that possible? How can you be perfectly fine?”

She could clearly feel that Zong Shou didn’t have much lifespan when she used the Time Sword to attack him.

Even if he used the Extreme Purple Pill, he should only have around 70 years.

However, the replica Withering Sword along with the few Saint Realm Experts consumed their own essence to form the Celestial Talismans, it could take away at least 100 years of lifespan!

How could this person still be alive?

Zong Shou looked coldly at her, killing intent appearing in his eyes. If not for Hanxi being here, this woman might have really succeeded.

Even Zong Shou would have no choice but to fully focus on the fight.

He allowed Little Gold and Hanxi to tangle with this woman. The golden Sword Light in his hand was buffed with Cause and Effect and Fate Power to clash with the Nine Glory Light.

He slowly felt some of the laws as well as the true position of the tribulation lock.

At this moment, he was just a bit away from totally grasping the Grand Path Core of the Nine Glory Light.

Qingming slowly found it tough to hold on under the combined attacks of Hanxi and Little Gold.

She sent out several Spiritual Treasures which broke under the attacks from the silver and gold blades.

However, she still didn’t panic. Even when the Time Sword didn’t succeed, she was still really calm.

She activated several talismans to block Zong Shou’s few Protector Beasts. Then, she took in a deep breath, formed a hand sign and chanted out some incantations.

A huge wind formed around her. It was split into Yin and Yang as it raged on the Heaven Reaching Platform.

Half of it was hot wind, blistering like the sun. The other was a cold current, bone-chilling like a blizzard.

It had numerous Heaven and Earth Spirits mixed in, however, it wasn’t of the five elements but of Yin and Yang.

A giant Yin and Yang diagram appeared behind Qingming.

Zong Shou was dealing with the last Nine Glory Light, but at this moment his heart jumped and an extremely dangerous feeling filled his heart.

Yin and Yang inverting, this is, Yin and Yang Chaos?

Just with some slight deduction, he knew where this spell came from. Zong Shou’s pupils instantly constricted to the size of a pin as he laughed bitterly.

This should be the Great Yin and Yang Technique passed on by the Taoist Faction! Qingming was actually well-versed in it.

This time he really underestimated her!

He wiped out that last bit of Nine Glory Light. His aura turned chaotic due to the chilling and warm wind that surged into his body.

Yin and Yang Power inverted, the Essence Yin and Essence Yang totally lost balance. The energy within his Dual Meridians became chaotic and surged all over.

His World Shocking Spiritual Art used Yin and Yang as its foundation. Yin and Yang not being in harmony and losing balance naturally shook his foundations.

Qingming really chose a good time!

It was when he was facing the tribulation, having no strength to suppress the situation in his body. It was also when he was breaking through and the energy within was the most unstable.

If it was any other time, this ability wouldn’t succeed. However, at this point, he had fallen for her trap.

This was a huge problem!

Although the chaotic energy wouldn’t kill him, he would most probably suffer heavy injuries after the tribulation and it might even affect his foundations.

If he didn’t think of a way to solve it in a short amount of time, there would be no way he would be able to charge right to the Late Spirit Realm stage!

He used all his strength to suppress the Dual Meridians within. His thoughts changed as he pondered about the different ways to deal with it.

None of them satisfied him.

At this moment, the Essence Yin in his Energy Ocean was suppressed, constricting into a ball. As for the Essence Yang, it was explosively swelling.

An unusual red glow appeared on his face.

Was this the tribulation fate that Kong Rui mentioned?

Qingming’s eyes were filled with the joy of surprise when she formed the hand seal. Then, she felt pity and laughed coldly, “Although this strike won’t kill you, it can destroy your foundations. A few months ago, you killed my fellow cultivators and destroyed dozens of sects. This hatred will be hard to vent! Today, I will claim some interest! Within 10 years, I will kill you with my sword!”

Kong Yao also noticed that his situation wasn’t right. When she recovered, she dashed right beside him.

“Is Ruler okay?”

Zong Shou didn’t reply. Instead, he frowned. Why did this woman come over?

His nose sensitively sniffed the fragrance on her body. The Essence Yang in his body instantly became restless and tempted.

Right as he was about to push her aside, he had an idea, a smile appeared on his face.

“Concubine Yao are you willing to marry me?”

Kong Yao was startled. He already called her Concubine Yao, so why was he still asking if she would marry him?

She was being forced and had no room to reject. Her reputation was also ruined...

Then, she was startled. She could hear the seriousness and solemness in his tone.

Two red flowers floated on her face as she started to think about it seriously.

Was she willing? Did Zong Shou really like her? Why did he ask about this matter at such a time?

She hesitated for a long while, but was still hesitating. Suddenly, a huge power surged over. It was Zong Shou’s hand that pulled her into his arms.

Then he kissed her, his tongue stretching in a domineering manner.

She didn’t speak, so he treated it like she agreed!

Kong Yao’s beautiful eyes opened wide. At the start, she instinctively wanted to fight back, but then she smiled awkwardly and closed her eyes, allowing Zong Shou to do as he wished.

Seemingly falling into a trance from the good feeling, luckily she still had a sense of clarity in her mind and was able to sense the chaotic energy in his Chakra Meridians.

This fellow was just using her!

However, for some reason she didn’t reject it. Instead, her soft and gentle jade arms wrapped around his neck. She tossed aside those random thoughts, willingly helping him suppress the energy.

Both of them used their tongues as the bridge to balance out the Yin and Yang Energy.

In just a moment, Zong Shou felt the situation within his Meridians turn for the better.

Although it wasn’t fully solved, that was because they didn’t truly mate to fully deal with the Essence Yin problem.

At this moment, it didn’t affect him from completing the tribulation.

In the next moment, he exclaimed and he appeared shocked.

Aokun was really right!

Yao’er was really talented! Resonating with the stars meant her body had a Xiantian Energy.

Just a kiss allowed him to come into contact with that bit of Essence Yin within her body. He felt that his Dao Source was being elevated like he was breaking through.

A fierce and violent energy struck into his body. It was extremely sharp, compatible with that of his Sword Heart.

This was Sword Intent Spirit Realm!

No! The spiral World Shocking True Qi within his body was also slowly calming down.

However, it wasn’t recovering back to normal but rebuilding. The True Qi and internal energy was being rearranged and matched up.

As expected, it was restructuring after being broken...

However, to complete this he needed to execute the final step.

That Kong Rui really deserves to die! He was right once more!

Zong Shou’s eyes shone a bright glow. He stared viciously at the female 1,000 feet away. Was she going to watch on as he did this?

He already had some excess strength. If she was unwilling to scram, he didn’t mind killing this newly appointed Palace Head under his sword.

Qingming’s face turned green from rage.

Looking at the situation, she knew that not only did that attack not let her obtain what she wished. Instead, Zong Shou had obtained a blessing from the fortuitous encounter, as he comprehended something of great value. His aura rose and the Sword Intent changed into something more amazing.

His intent also rose close to 20% in just that instant.

She was able to clearly sense the Grand Path aura which was close to taking physical form.

She was trying to investigate, but Little Gold and Hanxi were attacking more and more fiercely.

Qingming was helpless and could only take out another Purple Gold Talisman.

Right as the several gold and silver blades flashed and the body protecting pearl on her head couldn’t take it and broke apart, the Purple Gold Talisman directly tore open space within the formation. It protected her, allowing her to escape out of the void.

Zong Shou blinked, his eyes filled with mocking intent. He reached out and the Nameless Sword stuck in front of the Heaven Reaching Platform instantly flew up into his hand.

It absorbed the Vital Energy and Essence Energy as well as the Soul Power of hundreds.

The energy within the sword body was at its maximum capacity.

Right as the green flame started burning in his Soul Ocean, Zong Shou slashed forward with a sword!

First, a black dot appeared in the sky. Then, it became a sky full of stars displaying different laws.

One Origin Absolute Beginning Sword!

The Sword Light slashed and it seemed as if it was cutting vegetables as it broke the Nine Glory Xuankong Cycle of Reincarnation Tribulation, one by one.

Then, the sword sped into the void, chasing after the swiftly fleeing aura.

Returning the favor!

This woman gave him such a big surprise, so how could he not return one?

A painful scoff spread into his Spiritual Sense. Right as he was about to totally annihilate her, the Absolute Beginning Sword was blocked by an extremely strong force.

End Realm!

It was a vast power that could make his mental collapse and he showed no desire to go against it.

However, it seemed to be worried about something as it stopped, only blocking his Sword Energy and then retracting.

Zong Shou felt slightly regretful, but a moment later those thoughts were tossed aside.

He let go of Kong Yao and then looked into her eyes with a questioning gaze. He was still extremely serious.

Kong Yao felt his heart and her face flushed red. She shifted her gaze away. There seemed to be water vapor appearing on the top of her head.

Zong Shou instantly broke into a laugh and with a thought, the Nameless Sword flew up.

It hung 3,000 feet high in the air, Sword Intent exploding out and forming a shield.
