Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 354 - 173: Slaying the Divine Son_2

He paused, then said:

"Wan Shensan is someone I can't see through either; perhaps he has a hidden trump card. I hope he can bring us a surprise by dealing a blow that injures both Ji Jingqiu and himself."

...

...

Ji Jingqiu's gaze locked onto a figure several kilometers away.

His body flew silently through the forest, touching not a single fallen leaf, his mind calmly revolving around numerous thoughts.

The previous encounters with Yue Wukong and West Emperor made clear to him his own combat power level; he indeed stood at the peak of Arrogant Sun, with Sealing King Peak also no match for him.

But to slay the opponent, in a world like the Po Suo Half-plane, it's difficult to accomplish since there are life-preserving methods allowing one to exit the half-plane at any time.

Under such circumstances, it's nearly impossible for him to slay the opponent unless the opponent fights to the death without retreating, or... fails to react and is speedily killed by him.

The first scenario is not possible, no one is foolish.

Instead, the second scenario is worth attempting.

Suddenly.

Several figures burst forth from all around, intercepting towards Ji Jingqiu's position.

"Another Federation Martial Artist daring to come back and court death?"

The interceptor laughed heartily and pounced towards Ji Jingqiu.

But before he knew it, Ji Jingqiu had already swept past him.

Enraged, he turned to pursue, but suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness; the other interceptors around him, their faces filled with terror, slowly backed away, no one daring to continue pursuing the Federation Martial Artist.

He seemed to realize something, shocked, he looked down only to see a line of blood had bisected him at the waist without him knowing when, and with his desperate twist, his body separated into two.

As his body hit the dust, he still muttered incredulously, "How could it be this fast..."

The rest of the interceptors were terrified, their Spirit Gods shocked, thinking that had they been a bit quicker, it would not just be one person bisected at the waist by now.

Ji Jingqiu saw Diao Xingyun and others being pursued and trapped in the distance, and he once again increased his speed until the targeted figure was only hundreds of meters away.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's figure explosively crossed several hundred meters, with the Unity Spell operating, every strand of strength and Qi Force in his body was mobilized.

Within the Inner World, the first Ten Thousand Ancient Blade was triggered; its stored clear, sharp Qi was fierce as fire, pouring out like a flood, erupting from every pore of his body.

A fierce, fire-like sharp Qi soared into the sky, locking onto Wan Shensan from hundreds of meters away, openly declaring its target without the slightest disguise, as if questioning Wan Shensan if he dared to face it.

Facing this sharp Qi, Wan Shensan got the illusion that Heaven and Earth had become extremely narrow and small, his Spirit God quivering.

But driven by the confidence of a strong man, he did not evade but gazed back sharply, Divine Power surged throughout his body like thunder exploding within.

He was a Divine Son of the Four Gods Temples, a Heavenly Pride Martial Artist of Sealing King Peak, standing at the top tier among countless civilizations' younger generations in the Great Universe; how could he panic and flee just from an enemy's intimidation?!

The next moment.

A crescent-like bright blade light suddenly appeared in Heaven and Earth, crossing a hundred meters; the blade light filled Wan Shensan's vision, replacing everything else.

Wan Shensan's pupils dilated, his body hair standing on end!

This blade was clearly still ten meters away, but an unprecedented sense of crisis and fear struck his mind like an alarm bell!

Without a second thought, he drove his Divine Arts to full force, constructing layers of defenses, and the thought of exiting the half-plane also instantly arose in his mind.

But subconsciously he hesitated, did he really need to flee?

And that moment of hesitation decided the instant of life and death.

Below the long blade, as if a golden vein flowed, initially thin as a thread, but in a flash, it became a line of tide across the sky, crossing more than ten meters, swallowing Wan Shensan!

This blade, like a white rainbow left in the human world, initially slow, but in a flash, it was like a raging tide, surpassing the margin of Wan Shensan's reactions.

By the time he thought of exiting the half-plane, it was already too hopeful.

The blade light tore through his carefully constructed Protective Divine Skill, like a blade slicing through paper without hindrance, cleaving from the top of his head all the way down, as if a golden line perfectly split him into two halves, solidifying into eternity.

"You... are..."

Wan Shensan looked up bewilderedly, but it had already become his last words, all his ambitions in this life turned into mere bubbles.

Wan Shensan, dead!

Crossing ten thousand meters, slaying a strong enemy, Ji Jingqiu finally took a deep breath.

Just as he had expected, in combination with the outburst of the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade, one blade strike was enough; even the so-called Sealing King Peak had to die beneath it.

He stood with his blade, looking around.

For a time, Heaven and Earth were silent and desolate.

All sounds, colors seemed to have lost their meaning at this moment, only the trace of gold left under the long blade, after a slight flicker, scattered like a candle flame.

Only the young man standing with his blade, having slain Wan Shensan with his blade, his gaze sweeping over the so-called young heroes of various civilizations around him, yet not one dared meet his eyes, all bowing their heads in submission.

...

Touching his own neck subconsciously, Yue Wukong empathized with Wan Shensan's perspective.

"Is this the... surprise you mentioned?" he asked, turning to West Emperor.

West Emperor's face was stiff; after a long time, he finally said slowly: "Isn't it quite a surprise?"

"Heh, indeed fucking surprising! A Sealing King Peak, didn't even block a single strike and just died, could it be that he has already crossed into the Taboo rankings?!" Yue Wukong gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks for the grace of not killing earlier!"
