Chapter 786 - 786 Failed
786 Failed
Jiang Yi placed the wooden carving by his feet and staggered towards the defensive array formation while enduring the pain all over his body. Ignoring the fact that his cultivation was quickly draining away, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes with a pale face.
Actually, after so many years, he was already tired of this life. Every month, he would suffer a backlash, kill people non-stop, and cultivate without knowing what it was for.
He did not know why he kept walking down this path. At first, he wanted to be strong and not be bullied, but gradually, he became addicted to power.
However, as time passed, he slowly became numb and lonely, as if his heart had died. He had no goals and knew nothing other than cultivating. He was afraid that if he stopped cultivating, he would lose his direction. Once he lost his direction, it was like losing his eyes and he would be surrounded by darkness.
Jiang Yi groaned in pain. Although he had experienced countless times, the pain was still heart-wrenching. He could even hear the cracking sound of his bones breaking.
“Pfft!”
Jiang Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing his clothes red.
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s internal organs were constantly shifting positions. Strange runes occasionally appeared on his dantian. These runes wrapped around him like poisonous snakes.
He could even clearly feel his consciousness becoming more and more blurry, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
He was currently as weak as an ant. Anyone could crush him to death. He could not even move a finger.
Jiang Yi panted with all his might and forced his eyes open. He wanted to say something to ease his anxiety, but what came out was another mouthful of blood.
For no reason, that pretty face appeared in his mind. Jiang Yi was distracted and forgot the pain in his body for a moment.
He did not understand what was so good about Qin Xi. She had a bad temper, bad looks, and a sharp tongue. There seemed to be nothing he liked about her, but in just a month, he couldn’t forget about that face.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the bowl of soup he drank before coming out?
The pain overwhelmed him again, making him unable to think too much.
Jiang Yi fell to the ground in pain. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his lips were dry, and his face was as pale as paper, as if he could die at any moment.
At this moment, a loud explosion sounded. Jiang Yi opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a huge mushroom cloud rising. His defensive array formation actually cracked.
However, when he saw that the explosion came from the place where he left the small wooden carving, he seemed to have thought of something and shook his head with a smile.
“As expected… that woman wants me dead!”
If it were in the past, he would not have been so surprised. After all, it was only right for his captives to hate him. However, Qin Xi was different. He indulged her so much and doted on her, but she still wanted to kill him.
If he had taken the wooden carving into the defensive array just now, he would probably be blown up by now.
A cold glint flashed across Jiang Yi’s eyes.
He clenched his right fist and trembled slightly, as if he was restraining something. After a long while, he suddenly roared at the sky.
“Ahhh…”
The moment the wooden carving exploded, Qin Xi knew that she had failed. Her already pale face turned even paler, as if a thin layer of snow was covering it. She pursed her lips and bit her lower lip.
