Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 401 - 396: No Time for a Proper Goodbye

The Immortal Pond Human Beast roared furiously as its fist collided with the dazzling spear light.

"Crack!"

The fist of the Immortal Pond Human Beast turned into debris, and Ding Huan seized the opportunity to launch a Yellow Flower Kill.

The rest of the gunlight exploded like targeted missiles, skewering the onrushing beasts one after another.

Completely regardless of its fist being blasted into a bloody mist by Ding Huan's dazzling spear light, it still raised its other huge hand to slap towards Wen Zhixi's head.

"Move quickly," Ding Huan's hoarse voice awoke Wen Zhixi, who was also burning her essence blood, hoping to detonate the Soul-locking Burst Needle.

Even though the Immortal Pond Human Beast had already been wounded by Ding Huan's Starry Sky, Wen Zhixi still couldn't detonate the Soul-locking Burst Needle.

If it weren't for Ding Huan's shot just now, the Soul-locking Burst Needle would have been forced out of the beast's body.

She continued burning her essence blood, unable to detonate the Soul-locking Burst Needle; both she and Ding Huan were doomed to die today.

The moment the huge hand of the Immortal Pond Human Beast was about to hit Wen Zhixi's head, its Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled, and then a maelstrom of killing intent burst into its Divine Power Domain.

At this moment, how could it not realize that Ding Huan had taken advantage of that spear light explosion to sneak attack its Divine Soul Domain with his Divine Will Ability?

How dare these mere ants play such tricks in front of it...

The Immortal Pond Human Beast was enraged, just as it had summoned a pitch-black axe, it felt the breath of death raging within its body, about to explode.

This isn't good...

It was at this moment that the Immortal Pond Human Beast remembered why it hadn't used its Magical Treasure to kill these two insignificant beings earlier: because it had been sneak-attacked, struggling against a terrifying Forbidden Artifact within its body.

Ding Huan's Yellow Flower Kill Divine Will Ability sneak attack drove it mad.

There was no time to encapsulate the Forbidden Artifact now, the Immortal Pond Human Beast's hand swept up, and the two Gathering Spirit Trees in front of the gates turned into two wooden arrows that bombarded Ding Huan.

It was clearly Wen Zhixi who was burning her essence blood to detonate the Soul-locking Burst Needle, yet it frantically struck against Ding Huan.

In its eyes, Wen Zhixi was not a concern; the main threat was this insignificant Golden Immortal ant, which was a constant discomfort to it.

Once Ding Huan was killed, even if it was severely injured, it could still kill Wen Zhixi.

Just as it completed this action, the Soul-locking Burst Needle burst completely inside its body.

Black chunks of blood exploded outwards, the Immortal Pond Human Beast's body fell apart, and what's more, it felt its Divine Soul beginning to tear.

This was a Forbidden Artifact designed to burst the Divine Soul!

It must escape immediately, with both its Divine Will and Immortal Essence plunging like falling off a cliff, and even its Sea of Consciousness starting to fragment.

Even a fool like the Immortal Pond Human Beast knew that if it didn't flee, Wen Zhixi could kill it.

Ding Huan clearly saw the two Gathering Spirit Trees turn into wooden arrows that were shot at him, yet he was unable to dodge them.

Ding Huan desperately tried to use the iron pot to block the wooden arrows, but his Divine Will simply couldn't stir.

This not-fully-refined Magical Treasure was troublesome to use.

Just as Ding Huan thought this, "Puff puff!" The two wooden arrows—one in the front and one in the back—impaled his body, and he spat out several Blood Arrows from his mouth.

Before he even reached Wen Zhixi, the swampy ground suddenly cracked open beneath his feet, and he could only watch helplessly as he fell, his life force rapidly dissipating.

Wen Zhixi stood dumbfounded as she watched the Upper half of the Immortal Pond Human Beast—blasted open by her own Soul-locking Burst Needle—disappear from sight, then saw the two Gathering Spirit Trees turn into wooden arrows that impaled Ding Huan.

Blood mist exploded from Ding Huan's body as his life force instantly vanished, and then she saw him swallowed by the fissured ground.

The next moment, the black hole disappeared, and the ground returned to normal.

Hundreds of beasts charging at them were skewered by Ding Huan's Reincarnation Spear light; the other half were strangely trapped and killed by the Big Killing Array.

The scene that had been chaotic just moments before quieted down in a blink, leaving only her alive.

She wanted to rescue Ding Huan, but she clearly understood that the Immortal Pond Human Beast was not dead, and as long as it lived, it would be a disaster.

Left with only half a body and a torn Divine Soul, the Immortal Pond Human Beast was so enraged it almost devoured Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi alive.

But now, it could only flee into the Jiulun Stamp to hide. With such horrific injuries, even facing Wen Zhixi alone, it was in danger.

It had always been cautious; even if it wanted to kill Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan, it preferred to wait here until its injuries had somewhat recovered before emerging.

As it fled into the Jiulun Stamp, thinking itself safe, an endless torrent of killing intent swept over.

An array of Killing Array Patterns enveloped all the space around it, crushing the space it had constructed within the Jiulun Stamp into rubble.

"Wen Luoxu, you dare to plot against me..."

The Immortal Pond Human Beast had barely shouted one sentence before realizing its mistake.

Although the Jiulun Stamp belonged to Wen Luoxu, the Killing Trap Array Patterns were definitely not set by Wen Luoxu. How could Wen Luoxu, who was left with but a sliver of obsession, have the ability to move against it?

That familiar killing intent, those familiar Strangling Array Patterns...

The Immortal Pond Human Beast realized all too late that Ding Huan had arrived at the Jiulun Stamp first and had preemptively arranged the Strangling Trapping Array, waiting for it to walk right in.

A stream of terrifying Killing Array Patterns swept over, and the Immortal Pond Human Beast finally felt fear.

Forget its current grievous condition, not even at its peak could it have escaped this Array of Strangling Array Patterns that it completely didn't understand.

This is definitely a Level Four Strangulation Array.

"Let me go..." Despite knowing that Ding Huan had been sent into a deep abyss by its own Void Poison Wood Arrow, the Immortal Pond Human Beast couldn't help but yearn for Ding Huan to still be here, and even to spare it.

"Pfft, pfft!" Array Patterns from the Strangulation Array pierced the Immortal Pond Human Beast's body, grinding its bones into bits and mangling its flesh into pulp.

The Immortal Pond Human Beast could only watch helplessly as its flesh was sliced and diced, as its Divine Soul and bones were gradually crushed under the Strangulation Array Patterns.

With a trace of reluctance, it completely sank into the confines of the Strangulation Array within the Nine Spiral Seal.

...

"Such formidable mastery of the Array Dao, this is a Level Four Void Strangulation Array..." Watching the creatures being slain wave after wave by the Array Patterns, Wen Zhixi murmured to herself.

Ding Huan turned out to be a Level Four Immortal Array Master, a rare presence even in the Fifth Immortal Domain.

Not only that, but from the confrontation and battle Ding Huan had with the Immortal Pond Human Beast, it was clear that Ding Huan's strength was far above hers.

Ding Huan must not have reached Profound Immortal, nor was he just a True Immortal; he should be within the Golden Immortal Realm.

Despite only being in the Golden Immortal Realm, Ding Huan was the main force that severely injured the Immortal Pond Human Beast.

Without Ding Huan, she wouldn't have had the chance to launch a sneak attack, let alone take action.

Even if her sneak attack had been successful, she wouldn't have been able to detonate the Soul-locking Burst Needle.

The Soul-locking Burst Needle was indeed a powerful Forbidden Artifact. However, if it could not be detonated, then it would be no different from a strand of grass.

Wen Zhixi wiped the cold sweat from her brow, looking around at the creatures that had been utterly destroyed, she took a deep breath, determined to rescue Ding Huan.

And that Immortal Pond Human Beast from just now definitely wasn't dead—it was just uncertain where it had hidden itself.

Wen Zhixi's emotions had always been very stable, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel panic as she looked towards the giant rock that triggered the waterfall.

That had to be her father's Nine Spiral Seal, emanating her father's Daoist Rhythm.

She definitely had to refine the Nine Spiral Seal and take it with her, but right now, she needed to find Ding Huan first.

She carefully approached the spot where Ding Huan had disappeared. Right here, the ground beneath Ding Huan's feet had seemingly opened up suddenly, and a black hole had swallowed him.

Wen Zhixi was, after all, a Peak Second Level Immortal Array Master, and she searched the vicinity multiple times.

Apart from a small stream and the scene of the intense battle torn apart, she saw nothing amiss.

Wen Zhixi sighed, knowing it was her insufficient skill in the Array Dao that prevented her from finding the entrance to the Array where Ding Huan had fallen through.

Standing in the place where Ding Huan had disappeared, Wen Zhixi also knew the chances of Ding Huan surviving were almost none.

She had witnessed first-hand the Immortal Pond Human Beast's death throes, transforming two Gathering Spirit Woods into wooden arrows and shooting them into Ding Huan's body.

If she wasn't mistaken, those wooden arrows were likely Void Poison Wood Arrows.

Such arrows disappeared upon entering the body, and the vanished arrows would turn into deadly Poison Dao that invaded the entire body.

Not to mention Ding Huan, even her father couldn't withstand such terrible poison.

This was a Law Poison, with only two words to describe it: no cure.

It could be said that Ding Huan died in her stead.

If Ding Huan hadn't joined in, she couldn't even think of killing all the creatures here and severely injuring the Immortal Pond Human Beast, let alone stepping into this place.

If she had come here, she would immediately be treated like fish meat. Her pride in the early stages of the Profound Immortal would be powerless.

Staring blankly at the lifeless space, it took a full incense stick's time before Wen Zhixi slowly bent down and grasped Ding Huan's Reincarnation Spear in her hand.

She remembered the first time she saw Ding Huan; she seemed not to recall what their first words to each other were, nor what she herself had said, only that she had traded for a Spiritual Blue Fruit.

Since she was young, she had learned that a cultivator must be calm, must stabilize their emotions.

But at this moment, she couldn't help the sourness at the tip of her nose for the first time.

There were no ancient yellow paths here, no pavilions to bid farewell, no sunsets filling the sky, no evening boats crossing from the other bank—only endless marshes and mottled Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Throughout her life, she could hardly remember the departure of many familiar people. Yet, it was always those she hadn't known for long whose departures she couldn't let go of.

Perhaps it was those she had known for only a short time who mattered more in her life. Just like her father had done years ago, he too hurriedly left in front of her...

Why did it seem that the people she deemed important were always ones she never had the chance to properly say goodbye to?

Without a proper farewell, how could she abandon the past?

After some time had passed, Wen Zhixi finally wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She couldn't remember if she had ever cried before, but she hadn't cried when her father left; this time, she would never forget.

Leaning on the Reincarnation Spear, Wen Zhixi slowly approached the Nine Spiral Seal, touched her father's Magical Treasure from years past, and once again could not help but feel her eyes redden.

When her father left that year, the first snow had just begun to fall, and he stepped into the early winter wind, walking into the snow and leaving her behind. He said that without her mother, every day he lived was a torment.

But today, here she saw her father's Nine Spiral Seal. He hadn't been able to save her mother, but in the end, he was reunited with her.

Perhaps for her father, that was his best destination.
