BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1370 – The Feeling of Being Watched
Chapter 1370 – The Feeling of Being Watched
The Great Desolate had nine areas. Five above and four below. Nine Kings ruled them and were the peak of the Desolate areas.
Beneath the nine Kings were the Great Desolate’s Rulers. They could be independent or attached to any of the nine areas.
Amongst them, some had their body enhanced beyond ordinary while others had immense talent brought about by their bloodlines.
Those who had powers recognized by the Great Desolate were Half-Kings!
There had been rumors in the Great Desolate that wherever there was a Half-King, it was the ultimate peak. If they could obtain millions of areas and gain vital energy from the West Desolate, they could transcend and become the tenth King of the Desolate area.
Rumors were still just rumors. Even after so long, there had not been a tenth King in the Great Desolate. But this rumor was enough to show that the level of Half-King was super strong and second only to the Kings in the Desolate area, surpassing Rulers.
There was a big problem!
Li Quanji was breaking out in cold sweat. There was no need to consider any longer. There was a huge price to pay for a Half-King to enter the fragmented area. The West Desolate had done it before and as the prince that the King favored most, he knew very well what happened.
That group had forcefully brought a Half-King in, disregarding all consequences. Something big must have occurred.
What exactly happened? In the message, the only thing that was mentioned was that his sixth brother was killing his men. Nothing else…a bunch of bastards. How can they not mention something as important as this; they deserved to die!
As Li Quanji was feeling shocked and angry, the eyes of the Half-King who arrived in Bounded Zero Place fell on them. A sinister glow filled his eyes.
“Die!”
With a roar, he did not hesitate as he lifted his hand and pressed down.
As he had forced his way into Bounded Zero Place, his abilities were limited. However, even though it was only about forty percent of his actual power, it was still horrifying.
As he lifted his hands and pressed down, ‘Boom, boom boom’. The sound of the heavens and earth shaking could be heard. The roar was like a tsunami sweeping the land clean!
The five Saints’ expressions changed as they did not hesitate to react at the same time. Endless darkness poured out in that instant and five Great Daos could be seen emerging from the darkness. The Saints released all their powers without holding back.
The inner portion of Bounded Zero Place was restricted for True Saints. As they summoned their Great Dao, they would suffer huge damages. But at this point, the five West Desolate True Saints did not care about this. If they held back against the Half-King, they would be asking for death!
The darkness shattered in an instant along with the illusions of the five Great Dao. The five Saints from West Desolate threw up mouthfuls of blood. ‘Crack’, ‘crack’. Injuries appeared on the surface of their bodies.
“Your Highness, run!”
One of the Saints shouted, his face full of horror.
The five of them had joined forces to fight against a Half-King who was not functioning at full strength, but in one hit, all their puppet bodies were destroyed.
The power was frightening and a lot stronger than they had imagined. They could only block a single hit.
The Mysterious Clan Half-King’s voice was icy, “Escape? Today, none of you are going anywhere.”
Li Quanji shouted, “I am the third prince of the West Desolate, the King’s favored prince. May I ask what angered you? Even if I die, I want to know!”
The Half-King’s voice turned colder, “You are still pretending at this stage. Do you really think that you can bully our clan and we will not dare to fight against the West Desolate? Today, I have descended into the fragmented world to kill all of you from the West Desolate!”
With a single punch, a frightening power covered the entire area. The miserable cries from the five West Desolate Saints could be heard and their bodies crumbled at the same time. Their Great Daos suffered incredible damage from the Half-King.
Even if they did not die, they would need a very long time to slowly recover and their futures were probably ruined!
This was the power of a Half-King. He could so easily defeat five True Saints who were giving it their all and even used their Great Dao. Moreover, the Half-King was not at full power.
Li Quanji felt his liver shrivel up. The Half-King from the Mysterious Clan had actually killed the puppet bodies of five True Saints. Of course, he would not care that he was a prince. Moreover, he was not even a True Saint yet. If he was killed by the Half-King, it was very likely that he would die completely.
When he entered Bounded Zero Place, he thought that he could have a chance to escape. How did things take such a drastic turn? When the Half-King descended, he started killing without any explanation. He did not care about the West Desolate at all.
But hearing what the Half-King said, it seemed like their group had suffered damages first and that was why they summoned the Half-King without caring for the consequences.
Damn it, sixth brother. You bastard. What did you do? What did you do to anger that clan so much that they would take such measures against the West Desolate?
Boom –
A horrifying energy fell in that moment, completely covering Li Quanji. In that instant, he lost his ability to think and could only stare blankly.
He felt as if the heavens had fallen!
Soft Peach frowned as her eyes lit up. When the Half-King descended, her eyes had locked onto him.
Earlier on, she was muttering to herself about how she hated unnecessary trouble. This was true.
But the situation now was that trouble had found her – she had locked Li Quanji’s soul and felt everything. She could control him completely without worrying about getting attacked by him. However, she had to pay a small price.
For example, if Li Quanji was really killed by the Half-King and his soul disappeared, she would be impacted and lose a portion of her soul as well.
And this was something that Soft Peach could not accept – she could not lose her soul, not even a single bit of it. It had not been easy for her to survive and become like this and she would not let anything make her lose her life.
So Li Four Seasons could not die, at least not now…this also meant that if Soft Peach wanted to save him, she had to face the Half-King.
This was a huge trouble!
Soft Peach hesitated initially but eventually decided to act. When the Half-King was attacking, something sparked in her bright eyes.
She stepped forwards and raised her hand.
The Half-King frowned slightly but still looked cold. They were just True Saints in the fragmented area. They were like ants. How dare they try to stop him; they really did not want to live.
But very soon, the iciness in his eyes turned to shock and anger. As he shouted, a huge power surged from his body. In an instant, the space beside him shifted as if there was a spring tide annihilating everything in its path.
Everything that was in contact with the small world fragment, which was affected by the power in the air, tore apart and was destroyed.
This was the result of a Half-King’s anger. Everything was destroyed! And the reason why he was angry was because his time here was being forcefully taken away!
Drip drip!
Drip drip!
Drip drip!
A sound similar to water dripping could be heard. A huge, ancient and gloomy illusion of a clock appeared above the Half-King’s head. It was as if it represented a formidable will. The hands of the clock were rapidly ticking.
The Half-King who had been in a rage suddenly looked at Soft Peach with an icy look. All of a sudden, he snorted.
In the next moment, he disappeared.
When a Half-King entered the fragmented area, not only were his powers and abilities suppressed, but he could only stay for a short period of time.
Of course, for Soft Peach to put up resistance was not easy either. Her face was pale and her eyes turned dull.
Especially the snort that the Half-King made before he left. To her, it was like thunder striking her brain. If her soul or will was not strong enough, this snort might have been sufficient to cause her soul to be destroyed.
Li Quanji finally found the opportunity. When Soft Peach groaned and a tint of blood appeared from the corner of her lips, he let out a miserable cry and blood spurted out from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
That’s right. It was as if he was under sudden pressure and blood shot out. His entire face was covered in blood.
By self-destructing, he forced himself to turn into a soul and escape while Soft Peach was still suffering. Without any hesitation, he escaped.
Woosh –
His soul did not enter the chaos in the air but disappeared directly.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Soft Peach’s mouth curled upwards slightly as she smiled, “Interesting. He actually managed to escape. Seems like I underestimated you. You are pretty brutal to yourself. But I very seldom lose out; I will get you back eventually.”
Pausing, she turned to look at the sky. She subconsciously rubbed her eyebrows. “On the other hand, that was quite painful…a Half-King. Although I don’t know the details on the levels, he is a lot stronger than me. I can’t take revenge any time soon and have to be careful not to get killed. Deficit. What a deficit.”
Soft Peach turned to leave. She took a step out into the turbulent space waves. But something strange happened. The chaos in the space around her actually split into two and was not able to touch her. In addition, she could not teleport.
“I very seldom take losses. On one hand, I am very petty. Wherever I lose out, I will try to find a way to make it back. Secondly, I am luckier than most and whenever I lose out, there is always something that will make up for it.
“Bounded Zero Place…the place where a Ruler fell…the fight between the West Desolate and that group…there must be something going on. Maybe I will gain something.”
Soft Peach smiled and it was as if spring had arrived. She looked stunning!
Hmm?
At this moment, Soft Peach raised an eyebrow. This action, paired with the surprise on her face, made her look extremely charming. She suddenly sensed an abnormal aura.
It was not a treasure, it was more like a person. The person was very far from her yet the person could touch her and make her heart pound.
It was a feeling that Soft Peach had never felt before…she frowned and looked serious. She stopped and looked in a certain direction.
In the next moment, her hand made a slicing movement and the chaotic space was split apart, showing a straight route.
Woosh –
Soft Peach flew off!
……
As he was moving, Qin Yu suddenly stopped and looked in a direction. His pupils shrunk and fear overcame him.
This aura was so powerful!
Although it was extremely far from him, he could feel it and it felt like a mountain falling on him and he was not able to resist.
This pressure was stronger than anything Qin Yu had witnessed…could it be a strong cultivator from the West Desolate or that clan?
But the rules in Bounded Zero Place were broken; even Saints were restricted when they entered. How could anyone stronger enter!
As the person who orchestrated everything and created the messy situation, causing both clans to suffer huge losses, Qin Yu was slightly frantic.
Okay, the truth was that he was panicking. If he was found out, he would die a million times!
But this could not happen. The final battle had yet to start, so how could a strong cultivator enter now? This was beyond Qin Yu’s expectations. Could it be that he had missed out something in his plan?
Just as Qin Yu was wavering, the horrifying aura in the distance suddenly disappeared. That’s right. It disappeared as if it never existed and did not leave a trace.
He felt more relaxed, as if the dark clouds over his heart had been blown away.
Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows. What was going on? This person was going to leave after just releasing his aura?
Was this a joke?!
This was Bounded Zero Place, not some random place. It was not easy to come here. Was this to scare him?
He could not understand!
But no matter how much Qin Yu tried to sense again, he had no results. Along with the relaxed feeling…it seemed like the person had really left.
Rubbing his eyebrows once more, Qin Yu breathed out. He decided to leave. Regardless of the reason, it was a good thing.
Then…what was the next step? Qin Yu thought about it but could not think of a reason to stop or change his plan. Then he shall continue.
Cough!
Although he did not want to admit it, this had startled him.
A moment later, Qin Yu, who was rushing, suddenly frowned.
He felt as if something was staring at him. He stopped and activated his senses but could not sense anything.
Everything was silent and there was nothing unusual.
But as time passed, the feeling that he was being stared at got stronger and stronger. Qin Yu’s face became solemn.
His first thought was, could it be that the person who had vanished without a trace was trying to give him a surprise?
This thought only existed for a second before being pushed aside. There was no need and it was impossible. If the person had such an incredible aura, he could just directly attack; there was no need to do this.
What was going on?
His hair started to stand and his breathing turned ragged. Instinct told Qin Yu that he was in trouble. But there was no hint as to what trouble. This unknownness was the most irritating!
Perhaps he could try to move faster and escape? As he thought this, he immediately took action and rushed off at his fastest possible speed.
After a moment, Qin Yu’s face turned solemn as he stopped.
There was no use. The feeling of being watched was still there. It did not disappear or weaken even in the slightest. Instead, it was even stronger than before. It was as if some unknown existence was speeding towards him from afar at a frightening rate.
Since he could not avoid nor run, he could only face it head on!
Qin Yu was currently shocked and angry. He was wondering, was this his retribution for plotting against others?
