As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1608 - 424: Emperor Xi Xi’s Divine Talisman Mushroom Formation, Let the Kids Fight—Old Folks Should Stay Out of It [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
If she holds onto it tightly, the Thunder Chess Piece will whisk her away.
Yet...
Flee now?!
"Little girl... you're aiming to slay me? Me!"
Gu Chuan's raspy and deranged shout reverberated through the air.
He seemed to detect Xi Xi preparing to activate that bizarre Art of Teleportation for escape.
His fearsome Qi-Blood wove together relentlessly, expanding outward to hinder Xi Xi's path.
This wasn't merely due to Gu Chuan noticing the alarming Pill Furnace hurtling toward the Divine Sect Mountain Gate.
Instead...
The aura of the Grandmaster!
The Grandmaster has arrived!
By delaying this child just a bit longer, he could deliver her straight into the Grandmaster's hands.
After consuming the Forbidden Medicine, Gu Chuan had endured severe wounds this round, with damages far too immense. Failing to present this prime Human Medicine to the Grandmaster would mean Gu Chuan faced utter devastation.
Thus, he absolutely had to trap her in place!
"Aren't you playing the hero? Don't you wish to rescue those girls from the Ascending Immortal Pavilion? Those girls... they're mere Human Medicine. I've drawn out their Essence Blood myself, delivered it to the Temple God, and their emptied husks will be pulverized into paste for the Demon Beasts!"
"They suffered so greatly, bled dry but clinging to life, each reduced to skin and bones... only their eyes darting about, staring at me in despair. I crushed those pitiful looks one after another, sliced them apart—such satisfaction!"
Gu Chuan's raspy tone dripped with twisted insanity.
These words made Xi Xi's eyes bulge in helpless outrage.
Images flooded her mind of Little Lian in the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, the one she nearly freed, and the caged girls who pleaded desperately for her aid...
One by one, their sobbing, imploring expressions flashed across Xi Xi's features.
Deep wounds etched themselves into her tender seven-year-old soul!
Yet... Xi Xi was powerless to rescue them!
Xi Xi's eyes flared crimson in an instant!
A raging wrath, never felt before, surged up and churned without end.
Gazing at Gu Chuan ahead, under assault from the six-barreled Immortal Artisan Gatling...
Xi Xi sensed her veins pulsing with heated fervor.
Remorse, despair, anger—countless feelings stormed through Xi Xi's chest.
Xi Xi's gaze burned red.
"Xi Xi... couldn't save them!"
"Xi Xi will end him!"
Xi Xi clenched her jaws, her plump fingers easing their grip on the Thunder Chess Piece bit by bit.
He's utterly vile, Xi Xi reflected... she craved his death!
In the instant that followed.
A shadowy Lotus Divine Pattern gradually surfaced at the Brow Niwan Palace.
Next, a single eye of Xi Xi shifted to deepest obsidian hue.
"Sister... Xi Xi must slay him with her own hands!"
Across Xi Xi's soft, rounded cheeks, quivers started without pause.
Her tiny tummy quaked swiftly at a pace too rapid for eyes to follow.
Boom—!!!
A dark blaze lotus erupted abruptly behind Xi Xi.
It smoldered soundlessly in fierce obscurity!
A burst of fiery glow ignited.
The Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear's violet fires morphed into ebony ones immediately, the whole weapon darkening to utter blackness.
Even the blaze on the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel darkened to pitch.
Right then, Xi Xi's seething rage settled into utter tranquility.
Indeed, it felt like every feeling had vanished from her.
Could this be... the strength from that enigmatic, powerful sister?
That sister embodied pure justice!
Quietly granting her might!
Xi Xi, now invigorated!
This very instant...
The playful Puppy Xi Xi pauses her act.
The majestic Emperor Xi Xi strides forth gravely!
Whirr—!
The darkened Purple Flame Serpentine Fire Tip Spear lashed out savagely, carving a persistent moon-shaped trail through the sky. Emperor Xi Xi's gaze fixed coldly on the warped, contorted form of Gu Chuan.
Viewing him like nothing more than carrion.
Post-ingestion of the Forbidden Medicine, Gu Chuan's deformed visage, locked in a savage grin, began to stiffen gradually.
Grandmaster?!
Grandmaster, come swiftly!
…
…
Fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh—
Seeming to harbor flames that blazed within, the Pill Furnace glowed red-hot.
Resembling a shooting star streaking fast, the Pill Furnace.
In that split second, it halted sharply suspended in the sky.
From the Pill Furnace's summit, its lid yawned open broadly.
Exposing a slick, bloated countenance, as though crammed forcibly inside the Pill Furnace.
A pair of orbs swiveled wildly in all directions.
The avarice etched on that slick, plump face ebbed away slowly, replaced by a flicker of wary astonishment.
At last, it focused dead ahead.
Over there...
Without warning, thick shadows billowed, forming a grid like a board of crossing paths, materializing without a sound.
And upon that board, as the shadows surged and cleared, a sable fortress rose into view.
Atop the tower at the fortress's gateway.
A robe of black, adorned with a gilded lotus, billowed against the breeze, its occupant seated with back turned toward him.
"Children clashing—must we elders truly meddle?"
"Seeking death, are you?"
