King of Creation-Chapter 715 - 706: Did You Do It on Purpose?

"Quick!"

As Ye Zhen roared out, he had already reached the end of the path as fast as lightning, inside the huge tree hole enveloped in Spirit Light.

By now, Feng Qingyue’s distance from Ye Zhen had already expanded to two miles!

Before they moved, everyone followed with an interval of almost a single breath, which stretched the distance by about a hundred meters.

Up to this moment, the distance between Hu Qingtong and Feng Qingyue as well as between Lan Shuiqiao and Feng Qingyue was still around a hundred meters. Only the gap between Ye Zhen and Feng Qingyue had stretched to two miles.

This scene tremendously surprised Hu Qingtong and the Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao who were following closely behind.

To get through quickly, they had already accelerated to ninety percent. Originally they were worried that Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was too low and his speed too slow, which might have slowed them down. Now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

Even if they burst forth with all their speed, Ye Zhen would not hold them back.

As for Feng Qingyue, she had long since grown accustomed to this.

Facing challenges beyond one’s level and surpassing their speed was all too common for Ye Zhen.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

The Spirit Arrows rained down from the sky as Feng Qingyue took the lead and raced to the end of the path—the giant tree hole!

"Quick, quick, quick!" Ye Zhen kept urging.

Hu Qingtong and Lan Shuiqiao almost stepped on each other’s heels as they rushed into the tree hole,

"Get out of the tree hole, quick!" The moment they had just entered, Ye Zhen almost pushed and shoved Feng Qingyue out of the tree hole.

Behind them, Ma Yue, who was the slowest, erupted in Spirit Light around his body to the extreme at Ye Zhen’s urging, using a brute force approach to drive his speed to the limit.

Ye Zhen’s constant urging sent a chill down Shadow Blade Shao Mo’s spine, as if he felt something bad was about to happen.

"Old Bian, quick!"

Shadow Blade Shao Mo urged from behind and suddenly increased his speed.

Shadow Blade Shao Mo lived up to his reputation; once he pushed his speed to the limit, he was like a streak of blue smoke, quickly catching up to Ma Yue.

The last Divine Calculator Bian You, under the repeated urging of Ye Zhen and Shao Mo, proceeded forward unhurried, occasionally releasing condensed Talisman Seals of a Formation.

The Formation Talisman Seals were incredibly strange; as soon as the light screen opened up, it would deflect the Spirit Arrows raining down, making Bian You’s journey quite effortless.

Ye Zhen inside the tree hole watched this with a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth, knowing that soon it would be Old Bian’s turn to cry.

"Quick, get out of the tree hole!"

The moment Ma Yue bolted into the tree hole, Ye Zhen lightly slapped out with his palm, directly sending Ma Yue out of the tree hole.

"Quick, the Formation in the Life and Death Path here is about to rotate, quick!" Ye Zhen roared to Bian You and Shao Mo, who were still on the path, then with a tip of his toe, he swiftly backed out of the tree hole.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

As he exited the tree hole, Ye Zhen looked opposite with a relaxed face and began counting down!

The faces of Hu Qingtong and the other four, who had just passed through the Life and Death Path and were outside the tree hole, shifted slightly the instant Ye Zhen’s roar rang out. The faces of Shadow Blade Shao Mo and Divine Calculator Bian You changed simultaneously, especially Bian You’s which turned ghastly pale!

"Old Bian, hurry up!"

The moment Shao Mo stepped into the tree hole, he turned back and roared hoarsely.

In an instant, Bian You’s face went deathly pale, his form turned into an Illusion, and his speed suddenly soared by nearly double!

"Quick, Old Bian, hurry!" Shao Mo outside the tree hole urgently urged, even stepping aside to clear the entrance.

"Four!"

"Three!"

Ye Zhen fell silent, merely counting numbers quietly.

"Two!"

"One!"

Bian You was indeed remarkable. The moment his speed burst forth, he covered a little more than a mile in a single breath. By the time Ye Zhen silently counted to one, Bian You had already reached in front of the tree hole.

"Get out quick!"

At that moment, Shao Mo urged with a hint of surprise.

And in that very moment, the shimmering light within the tree hole flickered very slightly.

Almost simultaneously, Bian You plunged headfirst into the tree hole!

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz!

The short, urgent sounds of objects piercing the air rose densely, sounding akin to a volley of thousands of arrows.

The sound of flesh being punctured was relentless.

Ah!

Bian You’s scream almost coincided with the sounds!

"Old Bian!" Shadow Blade Shao Mo howled in grief!

At the same time, an exceptionally bright aquamarine radiance rose from the hollow of the tree, turning the previous hissing sounds of flesh being pierced into a series of thumping impacts against the Guardian Light Screen.

The next instant, an incredibly shocking scene unfolded.

A bloodied figure, or rather, a body entirely drenched in blood, was crawling out of the tree hollow with great difficulty, protected by a shell-like layer of aquamarine light.

It wriggled out of the tree hollow like a worm, its flesh flickering with a layer of shell-like aquamarine light. Above the aquamarine light, golden hues wrapped around it like chains, tightly binding it.

As it moved, terrifyingly powerful white beams bombarded the shell-like aquamarine light, and with each hit, one of the golden chains on the surface would vanish. Under the assault of the white light, the golden chains rapidly disintegrated.

What was most astonishing, however, was the person inside the shell-like aquamarine light!

Or rather, he could no longer be called a whole person.

His left leg was severed at the hip; the part below the middle of the right thigh was completely missing, and the remaining upper part of the thigh was hanging by a sliver of flesh and skin from the hip.

The entire right arm had been obliquely sheared off at the elbow, and the left hand, still relatively intact, was left with only three fingers.

The upper body was essentially whole, if one discounted the more than twenty transparent cavities.

The left side of the head, along with the ear, scalp, and even a piece of the skull, had been shaved off. From the forehead above the right eye to the jaw below, an inch-deep wound slanted across, not only rolling back flesh and skin but also bursting the right eye.

At this moment, Bian You resembled a ghastly demon clawing its way out of hell, letting out a series of profoundly miserable cries, doggedly inching forward.

"Old... Bian!"

Shadow Blade Shao Mo let out an earth-shattering wail, as a Spiritual Power Giant Palm Imprint suddenly reached out, trying to grasp Bian You.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The very instant the Spiritual Power Giant Palm Imprint touched Bian You, it was punctured into oblivion by the fierce white light within the tree hollow.

But Shao Mo did not give up, and at the same time, Yangh Yiguan also joined the rescue efforts.

However, the white light inside the tree hollow was too terrifying. The Divine Power Martial Skills they used for the rescue were almost instantly shattered by white beams the moment they made contact with the interior of the hollow.

Nevertheless, the two persisted in their relentless efforts, and finally, Shao Mo found a good angle, grabbed the aquamarine eggshell-like protection around Bian You and pulled fiercely, managing to drag Bian You completely out of the tree hollow.

At that time, only a single golden chain was left on the aquamarine eggshell that protected Bian You.

The moment he was pulled out, Bian You let out a prolonged, rasping sound from his throat, closed his eyes, and fell unconscious.

With a flash of aquamarine light, a jade-green disk covered in golden patterns suddenly rolled out from Bian You’s embrace, its surface now spiderwebbed with dense cracks.

Shao Mo and Yangh Yiguan lunged forward to administer aid, while the others’ gazes were drawn to the jade-patterned disk.

"This is..." Staring at the disk, Fengh Qingyue appeared somewhat surprised.

"If this old body isn’t mistaken, this should be the famous defensive Spiritual Artifact among the Array Masters, the Golden Moon Pattern Locking Disk," stated Lan Shuiqiao, the Hundred Poisons Master.

"Golden Moon Pattern Locking Disk?" Fengh Qingyue’s face changed.

"Is it that Mid-grade Spirit Artifact known as the Golden Moon Pattern Locking Disk? The one that can withstand a full blow from an Establishment King? The same Golden Blood Moon Locking Disk that caused a bloodbath over a hundred years ago?" Fengh Qingyue pressed on.

"It must be that treasure! Otherwise, Bian You might have already turned into a pile of minced meat by now!"

"Unfortunately, this treasure probably met its end today—it won’t last much longer after being used a few more times! This Life and Death Path truly lives up to its name; one wrong step reveals the line between life and death instantly."

As he spoke, Hundred Poisons Master Lan Shuiqiao’s gaze turned towards Ye Zhen with a meaningful look.

Ye Zhen, however, met his gaze without any evasion. This matter was indeed a result of his deliberate scheming against the Divine Calculator Bian You.

The Divine Calculator Bian You had repeatedly insulted him and Feng Qingyue and then tried to kill Ye Zhen with a formation. If Ye Zhen hadn’t been somewhat capable, he might have already died in the Heavenly Time and Place Enchanting Soul Formation.

Returning kindness for malice was something Ye Zhen could not do. Following his heart’s desire for revenge and gratitude was Ye Zhen’s true nature.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Ye Zhen didn’t scheme against Bian You.

However, Ye Zhen’s scheming did not involve betraying his teammates.

Ye Zhen’s scheming was based on Bian You’s attitude towards him, his suspicion, petty calculations, and distrust, among other things.

If Bian You hadn’t harbored such despicable little schemings and followed others like Lan Shuiqiao, Hu Qingtong, Yangh Yiguan, and Ma Yue, even if he were the last to arrive, he could have passed through the Life and Death Path smoothly.

But Bian You was asking for his own death. When everyone else passed through quickly, he didn’t speed up. Instead, he was still showing off his exceptional Talisman Formation Technique on the path.

It was purely self-inflicted.

Earlier, when studying how to pass through the Life and Death Path, Ye Zhen had used Earth Spiritual Power to feel the changes inside the tree tunnel carefully with his Divine Sense. The Life and Death Path changed once every 15 minutes, very precisely.

Then, Ye Zhen had made his plan.

But all of this was based on Bian You’s selfishness.

Ye Zhen would not commit such an act of betraying a teammate and giving others a handle.

Bian You’s injuries were extremely severe, and he was half a step away from death.

However, the life force of a Vein Forging Realm expert is exceedingly strong, and to save Bian You, Shao Mo and Yangh Yiguan had almost given him their most precious life-saving pills.

Once the pills were taken, the terrifying wounds all over Bian You’s body stopped bleeding, and some of the shallower ones began to knit together and heal.

As Bian You’s condition stabilized, Shadow Blade Shao Mo suddenly stood up with an uncontrollable killing intent flooding towards Ye Zhen like a tide.

"You did it on purpose!"

"Ye Zhen, you deliberately harmed Old Bian!" Shao Mo glared at Ye Zhen with blood-red eyes fixedly staring at him.
