King of Creation-Chapter 69 - The Fall of a Quasi True Inheritor

The cyan-colored energy, like an erupting volcano, spewed out crazily from within the Stone Marrow Pearl, backfiring along the same path the spiritual power had entered, with the force of a tsunami.

The light flared in an instant.

Before this cyan-colored energy, Jin Tai’s seemingly powerful spiritual power was like paper, vanishing into nothing in an instant.

A massive amount of cyan energy surged straight into Jin Tai’s right arm, charging through every possible passage.

The meridians in Jin Tai’s right arm were like an overinflated balloon, popping explosively.

That terrifying force not only burst open the meridians in Jin Tai’s right arm but also completely pulverized the flesh and bones of his arm, with white fragments of bone flying chaotically around.

Starting from the right arm, Jin Tai’s body was like a ditch instantly torn to ruins—right arm, right shoulder.

After destroying Jin Tai’s right arm and shoulder, a large amount of the cyan energy dissipated into the air, with only a small amount continuing to rush into Jin Tai’s body.

Even so, from time to time, the remaining cyan energy would blow holes in Jin Tai’s body, causing it to convulse weakly each time a new hole appeared.

In moments, Jin Tai was drenched in blood.

Ye Zhen, standing five or six meters away, watched this unfold, utterly dumbfounded.

The power of the Stone Marrow Pearl was terrifying beyond imagination!

What level of artifact was this Stone Marrow Pearl, exactly?

When the secret cave on the cliff was destroyed, Ye Zhen had probed the Stone Marrow Pearl with a strand of True Yuan as thin as hair and had been wounded by the terrifying force within the Pearl.

Facing a desperate situation today, Ye Zhen had thrown the Stone Marrow Pearl out, because it needed passive inflow of spiritual power to trigger a counterattack.

Hence, Ye Zhen had used the name of the ‘True Flame Burst Spirit Bomb’ to deceive Jin Tai before throwing it.

He had hoped to inflict a serious injury on Jin Tai at best, but instead, that terrifying counterattack had nearly blasted Jin Tai to death.

Unfortunately, the Stone Marrow Pearl could only be used on specific occasions.

If the enemy wasn’t tricked, and they held it tightly in their hand, Ye Zhen would have ended up losing rather than gaining anything.

“You…

you…

betrayed me…”

With great effort, Jin Tai raised his left hand, pointing at Ye Zhen with a face full of bitter resentment.

Pfft!

A hole suddenly burst from the position of Jin Tai’s heart.

Almost at the same moment the hole burst through his heart, a fiery talisman light shot up from Jin Tai’s left hand into the sky.

Jin Tai’s body shuddered, and he breathed his last as the fiery talisman light exploded high above, lingering for a long time.

“Dammit, even at death, you won’t give me peace!” Ye Zhen looked up at the fire-red talisman light in the sky, his face clouded with irritation.

It was his lack of preparation, or rather his lack of qualification, that when he left the sect, he had not received any warning talisman communication.

In Qiyun Sect, only when Inner Sect Disciples left the mountain were they able to receive either a rescue talisman or a warning talisman.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

As Ye Zhen staggered towards Jin Tai, who lay dead on the ground, Meng Xiaoyue, who had been stunned by the scene, quickly came over and supported him, her voice quivering with sobs, “Brother Ye Zhen, how are you?”

“Brother Ye Zhen, why would you do that?

You were gambling with your life.”

“Xiaoyue has no relatives left, and I can’t bear to see anyone else leave me…” As she spoke, Meng Xiaoyue began to cry bitterly.

Ye Zhen, gasping for breath, gently patted Meng Xiaoyue’s slender hand, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.

To still show compassion meant that Meng Xiaoyue had not completely succumbed to hatred and was unable to extricate herself.

“Xiaoyue, think carefully, is there anything special on you?” As he took off Jin Tai’s storage bracelet, Ye Zhen hadn’t even had the chance to see what good items were inside before he pulled out a blue talisman token.

That Talisman Token was precisely the thing Jin Tai had used earlier to track them.

Jin Tai’s rescue signal had already been sent.

In a quarter of an hour, perhaps half an hour, Jin Tai’s accomplices would arrive.

If Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue could not resolve this problem, no matter how they ran, they would not escape the pursuit of Lishui Sect.

“Something special?” Meng Xiaoyue frowned in thought.

“Besides clothes…

could it be this?” Suddenly, Meng Xiaoyue pulled out a greenish Grand Jade Pendant from her chest.

“Where did you get that?

Do you have anything else like it?”

“I remember, it was the second year after my father left us, an elder who greatly admired my father came to visit.

He gave this to me and instructed me to keep it on me at all times, claiming it had the effect of nourishing the meridians and eliminating all diseases…”

“That’s right, it’s this one.”

Before Meng Xiaoyue had finished speaking, Ye Zhen tried the Talisman Token which Jin Tai used for tracking.

He verified that the greenish Grand Jade Pendant was indeed a tracking device Lishui Sect had placed on Meng Xiaoyue.

“Hmph, those thieves from Lishui Sect, they never had good intentions from the start!”

Angered, Meng Xiaoyue pulled off the Grand Jade Pendant and was about to throw it far away.

Ye Zhen, who had initially thought to do the same, suddenly had a thought and stopped Meng Xiaoyue, taking the Grand Jade Pendant from her.

The next moment, Ye Zhen placed the Grand Jade Pendant into a Storage Bracelet.

When he tried to activate Lishui Sect’s Tracking Jade Plate again, the plate, which previously emitted a red light in response, showed no reaction.

If he took it out from the Storage Bracelet, the Tracking Jade Plate immediately reacted again.

“It seems that the Storage Bracelet can isolate this Grand Jade Pendant, rendering Lishui Sect’s Tracking Jade Plate useless,” Ye Zhen murmured under his breath, his eyes shining with the light of wisdom as he stored the Grand Jade Pendant back into the Storage Bracelet.

Since Jin Tai had sent out a Warning Talisman before dying, those from Lishui Sect who will come to hunt down Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue would certainly not be alone.

If other members of Lishui Sect were to pursue them, perhaps Ye Zhen could use this to his advantage and severely trick them.

Ye Zhen did not rush to leave the area, despite the Warning Talisman shining conspicuously in the sky.

Step by step, Ye Zhen cleaned the bloodstains from his body, swallowed a few healing Pills, changed into clean clothes, and only then did he leave with Meng Xiaoyue.

When they left, they made sure not to leave a single trace.

Being relentlessly pursued for a long time forced Ye Zhen to grow rapidly…

…

In the Yin Mountain Range, the thing most dreaded was the smell of blood.

Once the strong scent spread, it could potentially lead to a disaster.

Over one hour after Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue had left, Chu Jun’s figure suddenly plummeted from the sky.

He had painstakingly searched the middle path in vain, but by chance, he had seen Jin Tai’s Warning Talisman and rushed over.

The moment he arrived at the scene, Chu Jun’s eyes filled with rage.

His body, enveloped with Spirit Light Sword Qi, cut down towering trees in a hundred-meter radius around him like a lawnmower.

The Low-Level Monster Beasts that were nibbling on the remaining flesh of Jin Tai’s bones were shredded into countless pieces!

Even though bloodthirsty beasts had gnawed Jin Tai’s corpse down to a pile of bones, Chu Jun could still infer from the clues left behind that Jin Tai had not died at the paws of the beasts.

“Ye Zhen, you’d better pray I don’t catch you alive.

Otherwise, I will utterly destroy you!”

“Hmph, Jin Tai has been dead for nearly half an hour.

They couldn’t have gotten far!”

The next instant, Chu Jun recklessly shot up into the sky, patrolling the low air, his eyes sharp as a hawk’s, not missing a single suspicious trace on the ground.

Far away, thousands of miles distant, the Master of Lishui Sect, Chu Taiping, was suddenly startled during his Silent Cultivation and opened his eyes.

Before long, a Sect Elder hurried to see him.

“Master, the Life Token of our Sect’s Quasi-True Inheritor Jin Tai has shattered.

It seems he has already fallen in the outside world…”

“What!”

“Jin Tai’s Life Token is shattered?” The Sect Leader of Lishui Sect, Chu Taiping, stood up in shock.

His face conveyed immense grief; the fall of a Quasi-True Disciple was a severe loss, not just for Lishui Sect but for any Sect, including Qiyun Sect.
