As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1669 - 437: The Ghost Emperor Killing the Poison Saint with His Back to All, Submit to Me and I’ll Show You the Eternal Divine Tide
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
From the very beginning until the end, Li Che held himself back entirely, not to act like some superior expert who spares his efforts, but simply because he lacked the courage to strike.
The Poison Saint... Li Che harbored a profound fear toward him still.
Even though he had consumed the enhanced Detoxification Pill from Gu Changqing, it was only tailored for the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill.
When up against the Poison Saint's deadly toxic mist, Li Che couldn't be sure if it would hold up.
Gu Yinxuan possessed immense strength; at minimum, his ruthless Five Poison Divine Mist struck terror into hearts.
Regrettably, the foes Li Che had pitted against him consisted solely of lifeless constructs.
These entities suffered no harm from the onslaught of that dreadful venom.
Across all of Mo City Fengdu, Li Che stood as the sole living soul.
And Li Che...
sidestepped any direct clash with the poisons, thus dodging any chance of being tainted.
Witnessing Gu Yinxuan's savage ferocity and malice, Li Che grew even more certain that slaying him had been the wise choice.
A being like this, if swayed by Gu Yangxuan to pursue his daughter...
It would spell utter disaster.
Against such venomous schemes, beyond deploying Soul Capturing and Ten Vicious Ink Splashes along with other inanimate forces for the attack, Li Che held no assurance of victory by standard methods.
Thus, Gu Yinxuan needed to be dealt with decisively, or at worst, bent to become one of his followers.
That alone would grant Li Che true peace of mind.
Once he detected the Five Poison Divine Mist of Gu Yinxuan weaving in the essences of the Five Temple Gods, Li Che pondered invoking the Summoning Gods technique.
Any Temple God at all...
could be called forth!
As anticipated, Li Che pulled the temple god's soul into play, stripping Gu Yinxuan's Five Poison Divine Mist of its divine backing and causing it to collapse.
The essences of the Five Temple Gods drifted aimlessly through Mo City Fengdu.
They wailed endlessly, circling Li Che's form wreathed in blazing Purple Fire, lending him an ever more daunting presence.
Within Fengdu, the chaos slowly subsided into silence.
Light steps approached cautiously.
Li Che's form blurred in motion, landing right by the fallen body of Gu Yinxuan.
Though the toxic mist had been wholly consumed by the Sea Flipping Nine Infants, faint remnants of poison hung in the atmosphere. Li Che's Tao Tribulation Fire flared and coiled about him, searing away any lingering toxins nearby with sharp sizzles.
Gu Yinxuan was a ruthless killer at heart.
He struck down foes without mercy, and even among his own Heavenly Pill Divine Sect brethren, he poisoned disciples casually, going so far as to plot the downfall of everyone in Guangling Dao City.
He unleashed his poisons without a care for lives lost.
A figure such as this, harboring enmity toward him, if set on harming Xi Xi, would keep Li Che in constant torment, unable to rest or relax.
Fortunately...
he lay dead now.
Better yet, such a prodigy in poisons would henceforth fight for him!
A talent this venomous, aligned as an ally, offered an unmatched layer of protection.
Zhao Beidou and Gu Yangxuan waited in deferential silence near Li Che.
The Sea Flipping Nine Infants and the Divine Machine Demon Ape, those two towering behemoths, loomed at Li Che's side like unyielding peaks, radiating sheer intimidation.
His black robe billowed wildly in the breeze, while the Purple Fire danced fiercely.
Li Che gazed upon the mangled remains of Gu Yinxuan...
Beneath the Golden Skull, his gaze gleamed with spectral intensity.
Qi Tian City stirs to life, the Equal Heaven Temple's inheritance on the verge of emergence...
That Qi Tian City, drawing in powerhouses from every corner of the realm...
promises to brim with deadly dangers.
Li Che's existence had always been like treading a razor's edge against such titans.
Gathering a band of unswervingly devoted powerhouses seemed only fitting, right?!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Ink-black rain poured down in furious torrents, slamming into the earth with thunderous blasts.
Li Che positioned himself in front of Gu Yinxuan’s corpse.
"You don’t want to miss the Ten Thousand Years Divine Tide?"
"Then submit to me..."
"And I’ll take you to see the Eternal Divine Tide."
"Soul Capturing—"
