Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Celestial King of Wind
The thunder and lightning of the thunderbolt monkey seemed like a heavenly tribulation, having the effect of piercing one’s true heart and shattering reality.
Regardless of the Secret Law or various Secret Techniques, if the body can’t withstand it, none of it matters.
Even someone as calculating as Qi Tianxin couldn’t predict that he wouldn’t withstand this gaze, no matter how many calculations he made, they were all useless.
Qi Tianxin fell straight to the ground, filled with unwillingness and reluctance in his heart, but in the face of absolute power, no amount of calculation was of any use.
If one can’t withstand even a single blow, what use is there in calculation?
"What is that thing?" The color changed on the faces of Purple Robe and Gu Shan, watching from afar. Such an existence as Qi Tianxin couldn’t withstand even a glance. What terrifyingly powerful force was this?
Even with their thousands of years of experience, they were still struck with shock upon seeing this.
Even if the Celestial King were present, it would be doubtful if he could do better than that thunderbolt monkey.
"That strange monkey is probably not a creature of the Great Cave Heaven." The Master of Ten Thousand Soldiers frowned as well; at such a speed, even she couldn’t dodge it.
Everyone who saw this scene was astonished and discolored.
They had long anticipated that Qi Tianxin was no match for the Great Demon but Qi Tianxin’s performance still made them wonder if there would be any unforeseen changes.
But no one could have expected that Qi Tianxin would be defeated like this, unable to withstand even the pet of the Great Demon, falling just like that.
Everyone felt a sense of absurdity, and fear also spread in their hearts.
All eyes were focused on the thunderbolt monkey, guessing what kind of Secret Spirit Pet it was.
Chen Guan’s gaze wasn’t on Qi Tianxin; he squinted slightly, looking in the direction behind Qi Tianxin.
Suddenly, a halo of light came from the desert, arriving at the fallen Qi Tianxin’s side in an instant.
The light was too dazzling to look at directly, but within it, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a human, a woman, it seemed.
"The Wind King!" Those with knowledge had already recognized her origin.
But very few people could recognize her, as the Feng Family was too mysterious, and even among the Ten Great Families, few had seen the Wind King.
The Wind King glanced at Qi Tianxin, who lay on the ground, barely breathing, and then looked at Chen Guan, saying, "The grievances between you and Qi Tianxin are understood; let him go."
Everyone naturally understood why such an existence as the Wind King would come in person; it was certainly not for the people of the Ten Great Families, but for her daughter Feng Wuci.
Chen Guan knew this equally well, and with a casual gesture, released the experts of the Ten Great Families who had previously been trapped in the Secret Realm Pearl.
No one was missing among the captured, and each family was overjoyed, quickly welcoming their people back.
The Great Demon was so powerful that even being captured was no fault of theirs.
But amongst those people, there was no sign of Feng Wuci.
The Wind King stared at Chen Guan and asked, "Qing Bai, did you forget someone?"
Chen Guan said calmly, "I haven’t forgotten. These are the people I captured, and I’ve released every single one of them."
"What about Feng Wuci?" the Wind King asked.
"She’s a different matter, unrelated to these people. I only promised to release them, not her," Chen Guan replied.
"Have you already killed her?" The Wind King fixed her sharp gaze on Chen Guan.
"Kill her? How could I bear to kill her? She’s my money tree—worth more alive than dead. Even if she wanted to die, I wouldn’t allow it," Chen Guan said coldly.
"Very well," the Wind King said, waving her sleeve. Suddenly, the world changed color, and a hurricane swept the yellow sand across the sky.
In an instant, the entire Tear Luo Desert flew towards her sleeve.
Seeing this power, Chen Guan marveled at the Wind King’s might, which had reached a world-altering level.
But he remained unperturbed. The golden light danced on the thunderbolt monkey beside him, flashing once, and in an instant, golden lightning pierced the sandstorm.
The wind stopped, and the yellow sand fell like a waterfall. Moments later, the world returned to clarity, but a charred hole appeared on the Wind King’s sleeve.
"Sky Secret Spirit... Qing Bai... you dared to collude with the Sky Secret Spirit..." the Wind King said, staring at the thunderbolt monkey, recognizing its origin.
"Haha... I am already an anomaly to be eradicated by all; what does it matter with whom I collude..." Chen Guan laughed heartily, "As long as I live, your daughter can also live. If I die, your daughter will inevitably die as well."
"If this were only my family’s affair, I would spare your life today, but your collusion with the Celestial Secret Realm means I cannot allow this calamity to remain in the world," the Wind King said, ignoring Feng Wuci’s fate and striking at Chen Guan mercilessly.
The thunderbolt monkey met her in a flash, and the whole world descended into chaos, with sand and wind raging, and lightning streaking across the sky.
"Qi Tianxin... are you not getting up... how long do you intend to wait..." Chen Guan stood within the sandstorm, his gaze piercing through the layers of sand, and spoke to the chaos.
Snap! Snap!
The clear sound of bones cracking was still distinctly audible in the lightning and sandstorm.
From the yellow sand, a hand emerged, followed by another. Two hands pressed against the sand, and Qi Tianxin stood up.
The charred black hole in his chest was still there, with wind and sand constantly passing through.
Qi Tianxin gazed through the sand at Chen Guan on the opposite side, smiling strangely as he said, "Chen Guan, without the Sky Secret Spirit, no one can protect you today. I will definitely kill you today."
"Are you confused, failing to recognize someone?" Chen Guan replied calmly.
"How could I be confused? Others may think you can’t possibly be Chen Guan, but I know for sure that you are Chen Guan," Qi Tianxin said, fingers interlocking with the large hole in his chest, stretching out his hands, tearing away the charred outer flesh to reveal the bloody flesh beneath.
Tiny buds grew from the flesh and quickly wove together, healing the large wound in an instant, without leaving a single scar.
The next moment, Qi Tianxin waved a Great Banner, enveloping Chen Guan in the Circulation Stars Flag, shielding against wind, sand, and lightning.
Qi Tianxin entered it as well, and within the starry universe, two other figures also stepped inside.
Chen Guan squinted his eyes slightly, watching the two figures approaching Qi Tianxin, finding them both familiar.
The man on the left was none other than the long-lost Bu Changning, while the woman on the other side was clearly a transformed Qing Ya.
Others might not recognize Qing Ya, but Chen Guan recognized her at once; there was no mistake.
