Chapter 1442 731: Fight!
The Iron Wall, which was supposed to be boundless and flawless, unexpectedly had a huge breach, leading to finite darkness, finite iron walls, and finite manifestations.
The Heavenly Rift is like a flaw.
After the rift, the light cascaded like a waterfall, piercing the darkness and spreading wantonly in the dark hell, evaporating countless souls.
Similarly, it also illuminated the deepest part of the Iron Wall, revealing a grim face.
Xu Youquan!
Unfortunately, this dignified Heavenly Person was now bleeding profusely.
A deep, bone-revealing split was on his wrist, nearly severing it, and in that severely injured hand, which held the three Xu brothers, only one and a half remained...
To be precise, it's three halves.
One upper half, two lower halves!
Leaving behind the lower bodies of Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingshou to hang on a tree at home, among the three brothers, only Xu Lingwei was rescued...
Under the heavenly light, a hearty laugh rang out. A figure stood with hands behind his back, studying his appearance, curiously asking, "Nephew of the Xu Family, it's been years since we last met. Why does your face look so gloomy, as if you've lost your parents?"
His face was as beautiful as jade, and his demeanor was elegant and handsome.
So-called Heavenly Person's disposition is no more than this.
At first glance, he looked like a teenager, showing no signs of old age, and now smiling with an unusual warmth, completely unthinkable from his previous ruthless demeanor.
Strangely, from whichever direction you looked, that figure seemed to be directly facing you, looking at you, speaking to you.
The head of the Lou Family, the Heavenly Person who hadn't shown himself for years, Lou Suwen!
In fact, when both sides tore off the facade and their true nature was revealed, Xu Youquan and Lou Suwen had already sent their perceptions...
And they were well aware of each other's existence!
Likewise, they were at an impasse.
Old Deng from the Lou Family was playing the long game, while Xu Youquan had no way out.
Having lost the initiative! At this point, whoever made a move first would have to be the first to take a strike from the opponent's lightning whirlwind slash with their skulls.
The facts proved that if you're unwilling to sacrifice your kids, you'll be ensnared by the Wolf; Xu Youquan couldn't hold back, made the first move, and stubbornly took one of Lou Suwen's signature moves to rescue one unfortunate kid.
Even for that, there's thanks to be given!
Because Lou Suwen had really held back!
Not wanting to push the Xu Family to desperation, he selectively spared one that could still breathe, or else if Old Deng became ruthless, Xu Youquan wouldn't have saved anyone!
Xu Youquan's expression was somber, staring at Lou Suwen, squeezing words through clenched teeth: "Old dog, you're truly shameless!"
"Ha, whether shameless or not, the fact is you know, I'm just old, not dead!"
Lou Suwen sneered, "After all these years, stirring up trouble behind the scenes, why don't you have the guts to come to Hai Province and have a fight with me?"
"Old corpse, just wait to die, don't dream too much!"
Xu Youquan mockingly retorted, utterly unfazed.
This old coffin wood doesn't have many days left, with grave soil nearly up to his neck. Now is the time to extort people. Everyone avoids him as if he were a plague, who has the spare time to fight him!
Winning results in injuries, and one might end up like Lou Suwen, tormented by old wounds for life, half-dead. Losing… Losing means eating shit directly!
As long as the fight starts, regardless of the outcome, Lou Suwen would come out ahead!
"Tell you what, our families have interacted quite a bit over the years."
Lou Suwen smiled and proposed, "Considering our past deadly friendship with your grandfather, kneel, kowtow to me, and vow that from now on, the Xu Family will retreat upon encountering the Lou Family, withdraw from the sea, and not step out of East City for the next thirty years… How about that?"
"Old dog, do you really think others are afraid of you!"
Xu Youquan roared furiously, shaking the Iron Wall: "Don't push your luck! I'll fulfill your wish if you want to die! If it's a fight you want, then let's fight!"
"Fine."
Lou Suwen nodded, and started laughing.
However, in his raised right hand, among the slowly extended five fingers, a thread of light faintly appeared.
Illuminating Xu Youquan's face, which began twitching madly.
By the time he realized what it was, it was already too late.
Lou Suwen laughed heartily:
"Then let's fight!"
.
.
Three minutes earlier, when the curtain covered the sky and shrouded the battlefield, the shattered duel arena outside the battlefield was also obscured.
In the dead silence that sent shivers down the spine, the Spiritual Sword in Ji Jue's hand appeared without warning, piercing through Seno's face, pinning him to the ground.
The spiritual flow circulated, freezing inside and out.
A piercing scream rang out.
The others didn't even have time to speak before Ji Jue's voice was heard.
"Want to live?"
Those simple three words abruptly cut off Seno's scream. Despite the blade piercing through him, he stiffly raised his head to look at Ji Jue.
Unbelievable.
"You..."
Ji Jue said, "Kneel and be a dog, I'll give you a way to live. The Sujano Family cannot stay in the Seven Cities, but can still find a good place to rule a domain."
Seno was stunned, his pupils contracted instantly, his lips moved, opening and closing repeatedly:
"I..."
"You think you have the qualification to negotiate?"
Ji Jue started laughing, sitting on the steps in front of him, spreading his hands, ten fingers open, palms empty with neither a blue pill nor a red one.
Displayed before Seno.
"Choose, Seno, choose."
He smiled, telling the prisoner in front of him: "Be a good dog to die alongside the Xu Family? Or perhaps be a master-biting Evil Dog, forsaking darkness for light?"
But time is short, and there's only one chance; once it passes, it's gone."
Seno's expression twisted with spasms: "My, my family... won't let me off."
"Don't want to be a dog? When has the Lou Family ever let you off? Do you think I would? Ji Jue retorted, casually throwing down the final straw: "Or do you think the Xu Family will protect you after patting their backs and leaving?"
"You simply don't understand!"
Seno screamed, his eyes bloodshot: "I have the Xu Family's Spirit Contract on me, life and death are at their whim... No, you, you... you... "
He finally realized, feeling utterly terrified: "You want the Xu Family's Spirit Contract!"
Ji Jue said nothing, only smiled.
Staring at him.
Waiting, waiting, as if he could wait until the end of sea drying and stone rotting, until the invisible weight crushed Seno's spine inch by inch.
He dared not delay any longer and stated his final condition:
"I want to sign a contract!"
"Alright."
Ji Jue spread his fingers, performing a magic trick, and produced a contract witnessed by Tian Yuan, although without any headers or stamps, yet so pure.
What was more precious was the essence within, faintly exuding the aura of the Heavenly People...
Seno froze for a moment, flipping through it, and then became wary: "Why isn't it under the Federation's header?"
"Stop beating around the bush. The Federation doesn't care about such remote corners like the Seven Cities. Using such a precious thing for you is truly a waste."
Ji Jue extended a finger, and detailed clauses flowed like water from the paper, "Seno, my patience is limited; you'd better not delay."
This is a pledge.
Not signing means dying alongside the Xu Family; the Xu Family will surely not die, but the Sujano Family will end up dying like a dog.
After signing, you can continue to happily live as a dog... the Lou Family's dog.
After all, no matter what, the Lou Family wouldn't place a Spirit Contract on them!
Moreover, there is no need.
The Xu Family is still there!
As long as the Xu Family exists, they will always be dogs for the Lou Family, or they'll die! Extinction of the entire family! Furthermore, with the Xu Family's means, even wanting to die would be a luxury!
Glancing quickly at the many harsh clauses, Seno felt a cold shiver in his heart, but instantly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sign!"
In Ji Jue's smile, he closed his eyes, "I'll sign!"
The contract was completed, split into two parts, entwining over both souls, becoming an unyielding law for eternity.
Feeling that substantial weight, Seno seemed to age decades in an instant.
Like a dog with a broken spine.
He closed his eyes, releasing all defenses of his consciousness and soul, no longer intervening.
"Go ahead."
At that moment, the old man convulsed wildly, twitching, eyes widened, bloodshot, unable to make a sound, even screaming became a luxury.
Ji Jue's Spiritual Hand fiercely pierced into his soul, gripping the Spirit Contract like a parasitic entity entrenched deeply within!
Without anesthesia, without planning, and completely void of sympathy or pity, he brutally extracted a part of Seno's soul to avoid disturbing the contract's perception and be detected by the other side.
Under the meticulous operation of Non-Attack, no small branches were missed, no tendrils were lost, fully intact, directly pulling out the extremely fragile and sensitive Spirit Contract!
Finally, as his hand withdrew, a crystalline mass formed in his palm.
Like a heart, it pulsated, simulating Seno's alive state.
Success!
Seno lay on the ground, already breathing weakly.
Absolute domination and control over the soul remained, even if neglected at this moment, even if severed from the soul; as long as the other side wishes, Seno could still be reduced to ashes!
"Who do you think invented such a good curse medium?"
Ji Jue weighed the crystal in his hand, sighing lightly.
Such an important thing needs to be kept well.
Although it is useless for a gentleman like Ji Jue not specializing in Ascension, should it fall into the hands of some old master skilled in this path, add some seasoning, invest some effort, and when the opposite side hasn't reacted, forge into a little straw man... wouldn't it be a disaster?!
"Hey, you kid..."
In the wind, a distant laughter seemed to echo, Ji Jue's hand suddenly empty, the crystal disappeared.
No words were exchanged, just taken away.
Truly lacking manners.
And at the moment of falling water, revealing stone, the resolution of victory and defeat, a little straw man already appeared in Lou Suwen's hand.
Complete with features, finely crafted, especially the expression, lifelike!
Utilizing the residual soul of the offspring as the mainstay, taking the Heavenly People's blood obtained below Lie Que as the medium, and using the shadow of true spirit self-nature as the core, the masterpiece was completed.
Feeling an almost unified resonance and chilling sensation, Xu Youquan's complexion changed dramatically, raising his hand, "Wait a moment!"
"Too late."
Lou Suwen's smile suddenly vanished, face devoid of expression, crushing the straw puppet into pieces.
Instantly, a giant hand shadow appeared momentarily in the sky, fingers contracted, causing the Iron Wall to shatter like a heavenly collapse!
Soon after, Lie Que extended straight, like a sword, slashing down towards the screaming Xu Youquan, head-on!
You say fight and it's a fight, you say stop and it stops, you say dig a pit and a pit is dug, can't escape and yet you want to leave? At this point, not admitting defeat or fearing, still hoping to lose only half?!
How could such a thing exist under the heavens?
Dream on!
If you want to fight, then fight!
With a rare opportunity ahead, before Central City intervenes, first give a damned good beating and then talk!
