CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 252: I’M ALREADY DEAD, CAN YOU STOP MESSING WITH ME?

"Wen Zhixing, you are Wen Zhixing!"

Lu Shangxing’s divine soul trembled, beginning to shatter incessantly.

At that moment, he guessed the other’s identity.

Even though the person before him looked nothing like Wen Zhixing, he was certain this individual was Wen Zhixing.

Wen Zhixing had arrived, and he was bolder than Lu Shangxing had imagined.

He had even gone so far as to directly invade the Lu Immortal Mansion.

In that instant, Lu Shangxing even felt a sense of admiration for Wen Zhixing.

However, upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing showed no reaction. He simply stood there, motionless as a statue, quietly watching Lu Shangxing struggle in agony.

There was no need to confirm his identity. To reveal his identity to an enemy was the height of folly.

"Wen Zhixing, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, you won’t live either!"

Seeing that Wen Zhixing had no reaction, Lu Shangxing’s gaze turned ruthless as he said, "With the methods of my Lu Family, not even the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land can protect you."

He admitted he had underestimated Wen Zhixing, but he was not ready to beg for mercy from him just like that.

He didn’t believe it; he refused to believe that Wen Zhixing dared to truly kill him! If Wen Zhixing wanted to kill him, his methods should not have been so gentle. His divine soul should not have been able to last so long amidst the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.

"That’s right, Wen Zhixing is just trying to scare me; he’s trying to intimidate me!"

Lu Shangxing still harbored a glimmer of hope.

He was the Lu Family’s Eldest Sir, after all.

How could a mere Wen Zhixing dare to kill him?

However, Lu Shangxing had miscalculated.

Wen Zhixing had refrained from killing him outright only to steal his memories.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Wen Zhixing glanced at Lu Shangxing, still without any response, but the bombardment of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder grew ever more fierce.

Lu Shangxing’s divine soul trembled violently, fragments of his divine soul falling with a RUSTLE.

The true crisis of death surged to the forefront of his mind.

A trace of fear could be seen in Lu Shangxing’s eyes.

Something was wrong! Something was very wrong! It seemed like Wen Zhixing really intended to kill him.

The great thunderous hand increased its strength, nearly crushing Lu Shangxing’s divine soul!

"Wen Zhixing, you... have you gone mad? You madman... you’ve lost your mind! Ah!!!"

Lu Shangxing was stunned, then screamed in agony.

This Wen Zhixing had gone mad! He actually intended to kill him!

BOOM!

The thunderous hand holding Lu Shangxing’s divine soul exerted its full force, squeezing harshly.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, the greater part of Lu Shangxing’s divine soul was crushed into fragments, leaving only a head.

At that moment, Lu Shangxing could no longer endure and began to beg for mercy.

"Wen Zhixing, spare me! I can overlook everything that just happened!"

There was no longer any hint of arrogance in his eyes, only extreme fear.

He believed it! This person truly intended to kill him!

"Really! You know how to place a slave imprint, don’t you? Do it to me, do it! I won’t resist!"

At this point, Lu Shangxing had also abandoned the pride of a noble family’s scion.

His life was at stake; what use was pride?

"Too late."

Wen Zhixing finally spoke again, but his words offered only despair.

A golden light blazed intensely in a flash.

Countless Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunders poured in furiously, instantly blasting the remaining head into fragments.

"No!"

In his final moments, Lu Shangxing’s eyes flickered with unwillingness, fear, despair, and disbelief—a maelstrom of emotions churning within him.

Then, he died completely, not even a residue of his divine soul remaining.

The next instant, the thunderous hand gathered the fragments of the divine soul and brought them into Wen Zhixing’s Sea of Sense.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tree was already prepared, swaying subtly, gently shaking.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder descended.

The absorbed soul fragments were now completely obliterated by the bombardment, only to be instantly reabsorbed by the tree.

A new leafy branch sprouted on its trunk.

These were the memories of Lu Shangxing.

The memories of Lu Shangxing’s entire life were now laid bare before Wen Zhixing.

"Fortune Divine Devil Skill."

Wen Zhixing closed his eyes slightly. The cultivation skill began to circulate, and his aura started to change.

Both his appearance and demeanor became identical to Lu Shangxing’s.

Meanwhile, in his mind, Lu Shangxing’s life memories flashed before his eyes like a rapidly playing movie.

After a long while, Wen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes.

"So, this also involves a Qin Hao."

A sharp light shone in Wen Zhixing’s eyes.

From Lu Shangxing’s memories, he had learned of the connection between Lu Shangxing and that Qin Hao.

Simply put, both brothers coveted his physical body, each wanting to refine him into the ultimate Genius Spirit Seed.

To achieve this, even blood brothers would betray one another.

"It’s just a matter of killing one more person."

Wen Zhixing smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

It was a pity that the Soul Stealing Divine Ability, while capable of stealing memories, was far from complete. Even though Wen Zhixing had tried his best to collect the fragments of Lu Shangxing’s divine soul, crucial information, especially regarding secret skills and cultivation techniques, was missing from the memories he had gathered.

"It’s a pity it’s only a Blue Quality Divine Ability. If it were upgraded, the effects would surely be different."

Wen Zhixing sighed softly.

But it didn’t matter. He wasn’t truly lacking in cultivation skills or secret techniques. No matter how good the Lu Family’s resources were, they were useless if he couldn’t utilize them.

"It’s time to leave."

Wen Zhixing casually straightened his clothes. Before leaving, he glanced once more at the headless corpse on the ground.

Lu Shangxing’s physical body was still there.

"Oh right..."

Wen Zhixing suddenly remembered; he had not yet tried his Inborn Divine Ability—Reverse Yin and Yang.
