CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 133: IF YOUR ABILITY DOES NOT PERISH, MY HEART CANNOT BE AT EASE

"Why is it like this?"

Xuu Fan’s expression turned uncertain, with deep suspicion in his eyes.

The future scenes showed that no matter what trump card he played, no matter how many of Xiao Ping’s flaws he saw through, the final result was still his death!

It was like countless branching lines, spreading out no matter how far, but ultimately converging into one, causing his future to collapse!

"Leave first!"

Xuu Fan took a deep breath and quickly left the valley.

"What if I escape?"

His eyes darted about rapidly, beginning to deduce in another direction.

In an instant.

His figure swiftly flashed, arriving at suitable hiding places in various small worlds, attempting to deduce if he could evade this great calamity.

...

...

Another day passed.

Time reached the third day within the small world.

At the bottom of a vast cloud lake, Xuu Fan sat cross-legged, his face gloomy.

"Still a failure!"

Xuu Fan took a deep breath, stepping out from the lake bottom one step at a time.

During this one day.

He had run throughout the entire small world, trying to find a hiding place to evade Chen Zhixing.

However.

No matter how he hid, how he deduced.

The ending was always the same: Chen Zhixing found his hiding place and ruthlessly annihilated him!

This plunged Xuu Fan’s heart completely to rock bottom.

Splish splash.

The water’s surface broke open, a water column automatically lifted Xuu Fan by the feet, sending him out of the cloud lake.

Only to see on the lakeshore.

Unbeknownst to him, a figure in red was already quietly standing, waiting for a long time.

Xiao Ping had arrived!

"Have you picked your grave?" Chen Zhixing looked lightly at Xuu Fan and spoke calmly.

Xuu Fan gazed at Chen Zhixing, his face turning exceedingly grim.

In his eyes, scenes of the future constantly collapsed, and then before him, it turned completely dark.

His life, declared to end!

This feeling was like that of a convict on death row, knowing exactly how he would die, yet unable to change a thing!

Utterly despairing!

"Xiao Ping? Or should I call you Chen Zhixing?"

Xuu Fan’s voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

It was their first meeting, and yet this first encounter alone made warning bells blare incessantly in his heart!

He had already deduced this True Inheritor’s real identity from numerous future scenes.

Ziwei Chen Family, Third Young Master Chen Zhixing!

"Just a mere Spirit Stone Mine, and a few worthless human lives, are worth you coming from the Ziwei Chen Family to the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands to so meticulously plot my death?"

Xuu Fan clenched his fists, his face showing his unwillingness.

He understood, he understood it all!

This Chen Zhixing had entered the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands under the guise of a servant, then rose to prominence, showcasing his talent and becoming a True Disciple!

Then this person voluntarily offered up a small world, using it as bait to lure him into the trap!

Everything, every single thing!

Grass snake gray line, lurking for a thousand miles!

Finally, at this moment, every carefully laid foreshadowing exploded, making him aware of his future yet unable to escape even a bit!

This small world was no place of fortune.

Clearly, it was the grave and prison prepared by Chen Zhixing for him long ago!!

When he realized it, he was already deeply mired in the swamp, unable to extricate himself!

"Chen Zhixing, such deep calculations, such ruthless methods!"

Having understood it all, a chill rose in Xuu Fan’s heart.

This Chen Zhixing, though he lacked the ability to pierce through the future, used extremely deep calculations to anticipate each step!

Before Xuu Fan could finish another word.

His face changed abruptly, swiftly retreating a hundred meters backward.

Crack!

Right where he stood, a pristine and crystalline petal suddenly blossomed!

Puff puff puff!

Countless Flying Flower Sword Qi instantly raged forth!

Mangling the void where he stood into a powdery dust!

"Is this the ability to deduce the future?"

Chen Zhixing’s eyes lit up, the Flying Flower Sword Qi just now was a sudden impulse and had not leaked even a trace of aura.

Yet even so, it was evaded by Xuu Fan directly.

Then, Chen Zhixing’s five fingers made a virtual grasp.

"How about this then?"

In a flash.

Overwhelming Flying Flower Sword Intent surged out, blanketing the sky, densely attacking Xuu Fan.

The sheer volume of Flying Flower Sword Intent instantly sealed all of Xuu Fan’s escape routes!

"Chen Zhixing!!"

Xuu Fan roared in anger, future scenes rapidly appeared in his eyes.

Facing them, his figure twisted and maneuvered, escaping the assaults of the Flying Flower Sword Qi with a contorted posture.

"Die!!"

Xuu Fan leaped and dashed toward Chen Zhixing, condensing his Divine Thought into a needle to fiercely collide with Chen Zhixing’s Sea of Consciousness.

The needle formed by Divine Thought had yet to fall into Chen Zhixing’s Sea of Consciousness.

Boom——!!!

An overwhelming, earth-shattering Mental Telekinesis erupted from Chen Zhixing, sweeping out like a mighty river, completely shattering the Divine Thought Needle!

Then it once again descended toward Xuu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness!

Pu.

The Divine Protection Ring on Xuu Fan’s index finger flashed red, causing the terrifying and immense mental force, akin to a mighty river, to vanish into thin air, blocked outside Xuu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Oh? So you have a dharma treasure to protect your Sea of Consciousness?"

Chen Zhixing looked at the ring on Xuu Fan’s finger, a thoughtful look flickering in his eyes.

And then.

Bam!!

With a step, Chen Zhixing instantly exhibited the Vertical Earth Step, turning the span of a hundred yards into mere inches beneath his feet!

"Let me see if your inference is faster than my speed in killing you!"

Almost instantaneously, Chen Zhixing appeared behind Xuu Fan, with a rust-covered Cyan Pheasant Sword in his hand.

The sword tip spun rapidly, stabbing toward Xuu Fan’s heart from his back.

"Damn it!"

Xuu Fan’s face changed. Though he’d foreseen the sword coming towards him, Chen Zhixing’s speed was overwhelming—it was too fast to evade despite knowing!

Xuu Fan mobilized his cultivation to the extreme, rapidly pulling himself to the side to open his heart.

Puff!

The rapidly spinning sword tip pierced Xuu Fan’s left arm.

Rip—!

Xuu Fan’s entire left arm was severed, blood splashing out.

"Ah!!"

Xuu Fan let out a scream, without hesitation, pulling to the side again.

The spot where he stood saw another oblique stab from the sword!

The entire void exploded open, forming a big pit!

Bomp bomp bomp!

Xuu Fan retreated several hundred yards, gasping as he finally stopped.

From the spot on his left shoulder where his arm was severed, countless sword qi like slender snakes continuously tore at his flesh, preventing his arm from regenerating at all!

"Chen Zhixing, we have no deep enmity. I can compensate for the losses your Chen Family suffered! Is it really necessary to put me to death?"

Xuu Fan shouted.

"Compensate with your life!"

Chen Zhixing unleashed another sword light.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light split into two, then three, and then hundreds, all cleaving toward Xuu Fan!

"Bastard!!"

Xuu Fan’s face wildly changed as he frantically inferred the future, countless images appearing in his eyes.

Those were images of himself being pierced and shattered by those sword lights!

Then, all those images collapsed, leaving only one.

Xuu Fan hurriedly dodged as shown in the future image.

Puff!

Another blade entered flesh with a muffled sound!

Xuu Fan’s entire right leg was severed, with blood gushing out madly!

Strands of sword qi frantically gnawed at the severed right leg, preventing any recovery.

"Ah!!"

Xuu Fan screamed, his face turned ashen.

His expression was utterly desperate.

These moves were but casual exhibitions by Chen Zhixing.

To have dodged was already a miracle born of countless inferences.

As the battle dragged on, he would only worsen, possibly reaching a point where predicting the optimal outcome couldn’t save him!

"Chen Zhixing, what must I do for you to spare me?!"

Xuu Fan cried out desperately.

"Don’t you understand? Your ability poses the greatest threat to me. How can I cultivate in peace without killing you?"

Chen Zhixing, his black hair cascading, casually unleashed two more sword slashes.

Slush slush!

Xuu Fan’s right arm and left leg were severed again.

The intense pain caused sweat to bead densely on Xuu Fan’s forehead.

His face grew more ashen, but his eyes revealed a deep horror.

"You... you know about my ability?"

Xuu Fan stared incredulously at Chen Zhixing, his pupils contracted to pinholes.

This was his greatest secret!

He thought he had never disclosed it to anyone, yet how did Chen Zhixing find out?

"Chen... Chen Zhixing, since you know my ability, you must comprehend its strength. If you let me live, I can do many things for you..."

Xuu Fan was speaking when his face suddenly showed intense fear.

"No!!!"

He seemed to sense something, emitting a heart-wrenching howl.

"Why struggle when you know the result?"

Chen Zhixing slowly closed his eyes, spreading his hands as if to embrace the world.

A massive gravitational force lifted Chen Zhixing up, raising him into the sky.

The fierce gale fluttered Chen Zhixing’s red robe and his ink-black hair.

He thoroughly understood Xuu Fan’s abilities by now.

Indeed, strong within the same realm, able to infer repeatedly to find the point of victory.

Yet, before absolute power, it was futile.

It felt akin to knowing a nuclear bomb would strike you the next second but no amount of inference could secure survival.

In midair.

Chen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, pronounced each word with precision:

"Myriad Phenomena Celestial Attraction!"

Boom—!!!

The entire small world’s lands began to tremble violently.

Chunks of grass were overturned.

Towering trees were uprooted.

Huge cyan stones left the ground, revealing pits formed by relentless pressure over the years.

Too much, too much!

Every object within Chen Zhixing’s sight was drawn and moved, surging toward the sky.

The next moment.

Everything coalesced together in the air, then under the pressure of five million pounds of force, formed into a head-sized black sphere.

Blam!!!

Like a comet streaking across the sky, then crashing into the ocean’s surface, raising waves ten thousand feet high.

The black sphere plummeted rapidly from the sky toward Xuu Fan.

Xuu Fan jerked his head up to see the gravitational sphere in his pupils...

Expanding!

Expanding further!!
