Chapter 73: Chapter 46 The kiln is too scary, I want to go back to the village_2

The ground was intermittently sliced by sharp instruments, hissing loudly; often the mountains and rocks were silently cleaved apart with incredibly flat, clean cuts!

The formidable power of the Spell was evident.

Even though the Six Yin Jade Wheel was so exquisite, it didn’t manage to harm Chen Shi in the least.

Yet within these moments, Chen Shi had been forced back more than 48 feet!

At a distance of 48 feet, the Six Yin Jade Wheel moved like the wind, cutting through everything in its path; all the trees and rocks it touched either exploded into pieces or were split in half!

Chen Shi’s footsteps were unpredictable, and he rushed forward at extreme speed. Suddenly, he saw Li Tianqing’s figure blur—this was the illusion created by the high-speed vibration of the Six Yin Jade Wheel surrounding his body.

Chen Shi lunged at Li Tianqing, but for a time he couldn’t breach the defense of the Jade Wheel. If he wasn’t careful, he would’ve been severed by the Jade Wheel, leaving him feeling bound and unable to unleash his full potential.

Suddenly, he noticed three Jade Wheels hurtling towards him, aiming for his upper, middle, and lower sections. He swiftly evaded, only to hear a ’pfff pfff pfff’ as a tree as thick as a water barrel was struck by three Jade Wheels behind him, nearly being split into four parts.

The Six Yin Jade Wheel was the most exquisite Spell he had seen; however, in terms of power, it paled in comparison to the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword.

If it were the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword, a single Sword Qi would’ve been enough to sever the big tree in half, with no need for three strikes.

Chen Shi swept his leg, the big tree crashing down; he picked it up and charged straight at Li Tianqing!

The tree, weighing over a thousand pounds, seemed weightless in his hands, and his rushing speed was not the slightest bit diminished!

Hiss hiss hiss!

Invisible Jade Rings flipped and flew, sending splinters into the air. Chen Shi threw the treetop, and in an instant, the large tree was shredded by six Jade Wheels, filling the air with flying wood chips and leaves.

Yet amidst the myriad of flying splinters, Chen Shi discerned the trajectory of the six Jade Wheels.

Previously, he could only rely on "sensing" to see—the sensing was profound but after all not an eye, less real and distinct than what the eyes could see.

The eyes could react faster.

When he discerned the pattern of the six Jade Wheels, he burst forward towards Li Tianqing with explosive force in his step!

His movements were unpredictable as he dodged the Jade Wheels, and with a punch thrown, the punch stirred the air; the wood chips he touched in mid-air howled in the wind, shooting like arrows toward Li Tianqing.

Li Tianqing was too slow to dodge; his body, face, hands, and legs were scratched and pierced by the swift-flying splinters.

The splinters were not dangerous, failing to threaten his life; the real danger was Chen Shi’s oncoming punch!

This one punch would surely smash his head!

Just as Chen Shi’s punch was about to hit, he suddenly saw Li Tianqing’s figure blur again—a sign that the Six Yin Jade Wheel was spinning and flying around his body!

At the same time, Chen Shi felt a strange object rapidly approaching from the left.

Without a second thought, he stepped to the right. As he stepped aside, he saw the footprints left by Li Jindou on the ground.

Li Jindou had marked the Ghost God Domain and left some footprints. Outside the footprints was the safe zone; inside, the Ghost God Domain.

"He’s so clever!"

Chen Shi immediately realized Li Tianqing’s intent; if he could push him into the Ghost God Domain, then the battle was Li Tianqing’s for sure.

In Li Tianqing’s mind, entering the Ghost God Domain was a certain death.

So if Chen Shi was pushed into the Ghost God Domain, he would die.

What he didn’t know was that Chen Shi had already explored the Ghost God Domain countless times, knew it better than his own home, and the Ghost God Domain could not claim Chen Shi’s life.

However, if Chen Shi turned into a porcelain doll no taller than a foot, all his strength dissipated, Li Tianqing could still easily kill him.

But before that, Chen Shi’s fist could definitely shatter his skull!

Chen Shi’s fist now reached his face, and suddenly paused, the force withheld.

At the same time, a hand grabbed his left hand, pulling Chen Shi back just as he was about to fall into the Ghost God Domain.

The Six Yin Jade Wheel suddenly stopped, hovering at Chen Shi’s waist.

Chen Shi steadied himself and retracted his fist.

Li Tianqing also dispersed the jade wheel.

After a moment, the two sat on the ground, Chen Shi propping himself up with both hands behind him, while Li Tianqing listlessly tossed grass stems.

"I can’t bring myself to kill a friend I just met."

"Same here. I don’t have any friends, and right now it’s just you."

"I don’t have any friends either."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I killed Li Xiaoding because my Divine Embryo was cut out, and I heard that Li Xiaoding transplanted someone else’s Divine Embryo to pass the Scholar exam, so I thought it was mine."

Chen Shi explained the reasons why he killed Li Xiaoding and said, "Only later did I realize that I had killed the wrong person."

"My esteemed cousin is a rotten guy, committing heinous crimes in Water Buffalo County; killing him doesn’t matter. In the county office, his criminal record is this high, all covered up, there’s nothing to do about it. The record was written by Zhuge Jian, and they couldn’t bring my cousin to justice, no wonder he holds a grudge."

Li Tianqing could relate to Chen Shi’s plight all too well since he had almost been stripped of his Divine Embryo by his own clansmen and said, "The case involving Li Xiaoding was your doing, so the case involving my seventh uncle, Li Kefa, must have been your grandfather’s doing. But rest assured, I won’t speak out. I won’t betray a friend for the sake of a scoundrel."

Chen Shi’s spirit lifted, and he laughed, "If we have time tomorrow, I’ll take you to catch Mutant Mares. Mutant Mares are interesting. Although their name includes the word ’mare,’ they are not horses but mutant beasts that look like a mix between a horse and a big monkey and live on trees, leaping as if they are flying. When we spot a Mutant Mare, we must keep silent and sneak to the tree it’s on, then release a burst of Sword Qi to sever the branch it rests upon. When the Mutant Mare falls, dazed and disoriented, we’ll take the chance to loop a rope around it and tie it up, and our major task will be accomplished."

Li Tianqing blinked and asked, "What happens after we catch a Mutant Mare?"

"Then we take it to the market to sell for money. Once caught, Mutant Mares are quite obedient. During the busy farming season, villagers from ten miles around will come to buy Mutant Mares. With a little training, they can help the villagers reap the crops, just needing enough rations to keep from starving."

Chen Shi continued, "A well-tamed Mutant Mare will even find its own food and, after eating and drinking its fill, will return to work for the villagers. Even if it’s not the busy farming season, you can have the Mutant Mare do some heavy manual labor. Mutant Mares eat little and work hard, so they are very popular at the market."

Li Tianqing’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I’ve tried to catch Mutant Mares before, planning to sell them to pay for school fees to study at a private school. But I couldn’t use the Meridian Evil Slayer Sword, and those Mutant Mares jumped far, leaping from one tree to another, disappearing in the blink of an eye. However, your Six Yin Jade Wheel is truly remarkable, and working together, we will definitely catch many Mutant Mares!"

Li Tianqing nodded repeatedly.

Despite having fought each other, their friendship had grown even stronger.

Suddenly, a dazzling divine light shone out from the kiln factory.

The porcelain doll, transformed by Li Jindou, rushed out of the kiln factory, looking rather embarrassed, with three kiln workers that were about three zhang tall pursuing relentlessly behind him.

As the porcelain doll ran, it said something to Chen Shi and Li Tianqing outside, but its voice was like birdsong, chirping and twittering, unintelligible.

As soon as the porcelain doll dashed out of the kiln factory and touched the ground, Li Jindou’s Primordial Spirit used an overwhelming amount of Mana, enveloping the porcelain doll. Under the illumination of the Primordial Spirit’s divine light, its porcelainized body began to revert to normal, and the Divine Shrine Divine Embryo also gradually lost its porcelain-like state.

Chen Shi, seeing this, was filled with admiration.

Li Jindou, having become a porcelain doll and fought with the kiln workers yet survived, revealed his extraordinary abilities.

"His old man’s cultivation is so formidable; he can revert from a porcelainized state, which is truly admirable," Chen Shi thought to himself.

"Not good!"

Li Jindou shouted in alarm, for the parts of his body that had reverted from porcelain were now starting to porcelainize again!

The porcelain doll’s forehead was immediately covered in cold sweat, and it cried out, "This Ghost God Domain is too dreadful. I’m injured, and my Primordial Spirit alone can’t resist the Domain’s transformation! Tianqing, Chen Shi, hurry and take me back to the village!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But neither of them understood what it was saying.
