Chapter 805 - 426: The Fire Attack Plan (Part 2)

Gu Sheng’s pupils suddenly contracted; he recognized this person as Ji Hui Ancestor from the Ji family.

"Damn! It’s you, you old undead!"

Gu Sheng gently stirred his divine power, ready to attack.

"Hehe..."

Ji Hui had a cold sneer on his face, "I really didn’t expect that Ji Ren would be killed by you."

"You old undead, what do you want to do?"

Gu Sheng felt something was off, taking two steps back to ensure his safety.

"Gu Sheng, you truly are a scourge, daring to kill a member of my Ji family."

Ji Hui’s voice echoed in the air.

"You crazy old woman, don’t be unreasonable, you wanted to kill me first!"

Gu Sheng pointed his finger at the black shadow in the sky and said.

"What? Unconvinced?"

Ji Hui sneered.

"Unconvinced! I’m a manly man, why should I bow to an old hag like you!"

Gu Sheng roared furiously.

"Fine, then let me show you my might!"

After speaking, the black air gathered into a mass, shrinking, and shrinking...

"This..."

Gu Sheng was stunned, watching everything in front of him in amazement.

Until that black air became the size of a sycamore seed, it stopped shrinking.

"Ji Ren, it’s time for you to resurrect!"

Ji Hui’s voice echoed in the air.

Then, the air pellet flew straight into Ji Ren’s mouth.

At the moment of entry, the already dead Ji Ren began to move.

In the blink of an eye, he stood up again.

Gu Sheng was shocked again.

"What the hell! What kind of spell is this, resurrection from the dead? Or is he being secretly manipulated?"

When Ji Ren stood up again, he moved his neck a little.

The wound that had just been inflicted by Gu Sheng was perfectly healed, as if it had never been cut.

"Gu Sheng, it’s a pleasure to see you again."

Ji Ren said with a faint smile.

"You’re pleased; I’m not!"

Gu Sheng replied with cold words.

"Aren’t you curious about how I came back to life?"

Ji Ren’s tone was arrogant, seemingly believing that he had become immortal.

"Yes, I’m indeed curious."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

Ji Ren’s face showed a smug smile, his whole person swelling with pride.

"Ji Hui Ancestor possesses a secret technique to refine corpse energy; she can collect the corpse energy of the newly dead and inject it with the unique energy of our Ji family to bring people back to life. This is also one of the reasons our Ji family is famous in the East Desolation."

Gu Sheng was startled to hear this.

He had never heard of such magic before; if Ji Ren could truly revive infinitely, wouldn’t he die at his hands?

Thinking of this, a hint of resolve flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

Given the current situation, he had to quickly find a way to break the spell; otherwise, it would be difficult to escape today.

He might even die at Ji Ren’s hands.

"It seems you are determined to kill me today."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

While saying this, Gu Sheng’s body started to slowly retreat, preparing to find an opportunity to escape.

Ji Ren laughed wildly, "Gu Sheng, you won’t escape from the palm of my hand today, no matter what. Prepare to die!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Ren quickly launched an attack.

Gu Sheng knew he couldn’t face him head-on; the only way out was to escape.

"Whoosh!"

He suddenly pushed off the ground, his body shooting out like an arrow, fleeing into the distance.

"You want to leave? No way!"

Ji Ren followed closely behind, the two creating dazzling streaks of light across the sky as they sped away.

They flew over wilderness after wilderness, skirting around various mountain ranges.

Ji Ren was relentless in his pursuit, and Gu Sheng couldn’t shake him off.

Before long, they reached the top of a dense palm forest.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up, a perfect solution forming in his mind.

This palm forest, with its tall trees and lush foliage, was the ideal location for a fire attack.

Gu Sheng swooped down, landing into the palm forest.

Ji Ren naturally stopped as well, standing not far from Gu Sheng.

"What, not running anymore? Seems you’ve realized you can’t escape today."

Seeing Gu Sheng stop, Ji Ren’s face twisted into a sinister grin.

"Take this!"

Gu Sheng shouted with great force, his body slowly rising, hovering in mid-air.

Then Gu Sheng’s hands started quickly forming seals while gathering the mystic yellow qi inside him.

In an instant, mysterious runes formed in his palms.

These runes, reinforced by the mystic yellow qi, emitted a dazzling glow.

"Go!"

Gu Sheng shouted, the runes attacking Ji Ren.

"You can’t kill me, it’s a waste of effort!"

Ji Ren shouted, trying to resist the impact of the runes.

But with the reinforcement of mystic yellow qi, Ji Ren couldn’t resist at all.

Thus, Ji Ren was pinned in place by the runes.

But relying on Ji Hui Ancestor’s corpse-refining qi transformation spell, Ji Ren didn’t care.

"Come on, let’s see what else you can do!"

Ji Ren looked disdainful.

"Rise!"

Gu Sheng stirred his divine power, uprooting nearby palm trees and pressing them towards the immobilized Ji Ren.

"Fire, come!"

Then, Gu Sheng shouted loudly.

He thrust his hands forward sharply, and a massive pillar of fire erupted from his palms, shooting straight into the sky.

The fire pillar rapidly spread in mid-air, transforming into a sea of fire that engulfed the palm trees pressed onto Ji Ren.

"What!"

Ji Ren’s face changed as he saw this.

He didn’t expect Gu Sheng to choose to attack him with fire.

A sliver of desperation flashed in Ji Ren’s eyes.

But at that moment, his body was firmly held in place by Gu Sheng’s divine power, unable to move an inch.

And the scorching flames were quickly approaching, his skin already feeling the burning pain.

"No, this is impossible!"

Ji Ren screamed, his face filled with unwillingness, mixed with panicked fear.

"Let me out! Let me out!"

Ji Ren began to struggle desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from the force binding him.

"These palm trees are oily, you won’t escape!"

Quickly, the flames climbed up the palm trees like fiery serpents.

The fire grew more intense, engulfing more than half of the palm forest in a sea of flames.

Ji Ren’s body was devoured by the flames, his clothes turning to ash in an instant, his skin charring with crackling sounds.

"Ah!"

Ji Ren let out a horrible wail, his body twisting and struggling in the fire.

The flames persisted for quite a while until Ji Ren’s body was completely turned to ashes, without a trace of corpse energy remaining.

Only then did Gu Sheng withdraw his divine power, and the fire’s intensity gradually diminished.

"Whew..."

Gu Sheng stood his ground, unable to help but take a long breath.

Looking at the scorched earth, Gu Sheng felt a swirl of complex emotions.

He then took out the Removal Stone and eradicated all traces of his own presence in the vicinity.

"How did this fire start?"

Suddenly, a stranger’s voice called out.

Startled, Gu Sheng looked towards the direction of the voice.

"Yeah, what should we do about this? Are we just going to let the forest burn completely?"

"What can we do? We don’t even have water to extinguish the fire."

Two others chimed in.

Gu Sheng noticed there were three people standing over there.

They looked like ordinary townsfolk, seemingly mountain dwellers gathering firewood in the hills.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng flew directly in front of the three people.

"What are you standing there for? Go put out the fire!"

Gu Sheng shouted loudly.

The three were stunned upon seeing Gu Sheng, "We don’t have water or tools, how can we put the fire out?"

"Is there a water source nearby? I have the power to transport water here."

Gu Sheng said, feigning urgency.

"There’s a lake ten miles from here, where there’s water; can you bring it over?"

One of the villagers asked.

"I can; wait for me here."

With that, Gu Sheng flew off in the direction the villager had pointed.

"Ah? So young, yet so powerful?"

"Sure, looks can be deceiving, but as long as he can save the fire, it’s fine."

"Yes, we’ll wait for him."

The three discussed as they stood by.
