Chapter 183 Just a shell
"Of course she went back to where she belonged."
Controlling countless ice spikes to shoot at Wang Qingyan, the moment the Heavenly Dao occupied Baili Ce's body, its power immediately recovered by more than half.
"Clang clang clang..." Wang Qingyan was forced to parry, and even though he was covered in wounds, he still did not launch an attack.
Instead, he stared intently at the arrogant "Baili Ce," whose face was contorted with arrogance, suffering deep, bone-revealing wounds, allowing Heaven to corner him in a very short time.
Then, after a desperate resistance, they were slightly outmatched and defeated by the will of Heaven.
"Bang bang bang..."
In the final few sword strikes, even Baili Ce felt the pressure emanating from the Heavenly Dao.
"Crack!" The surrounding grave mounds and stone shrouds shattered into dust in an instant, and the ground beneath their feet was torn in two by the force of the landslide.
Immediately afterwards, the world under the heavy snowfall was also divided into two extremes by the strange methods of Heaven.
As the snow fell and froze, Wang Qingyan's body grew heavier and heavier, making it difficult for him to move.
On one side, the snow scene remained beautiful and poetic, making Baili Ce's face appear even more ghostly and ferocious.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......"
Bai Lize never knew he could laugh so arrogantly; just by listening to the sound, he knew it was extremely vicious.
Adhering to the principle of leaving no future troubles, the Heavenly Dao first pulled its power directly to the peak of force, crushing all of Wang Qingyan's bones with a crack!
Only after his bones and blood were frozen solid from the inside out, and his body was fixed in the ice layer that even a chisel could not break through, did he leap up and jump in front of Wang Qingyan.
"She didn't leave, did she?"
"How could she possibly stand aside?"
"You're lying to me, you must have killed her!"
These words startled Baili Ce, who was preparing to crash into the "Void Barrier".
Follow the sound source and feel it...
Bai Li Ce vaguely saw that Wang Qing Yan's posture was like that of a dog about to be skinned alive.
But he didn't seem... like he wasn't very sad?
Tiandao paused for a moment, "That's strange. You're even less able to accept her leaving than her death."
"It's a pity," she said, placing her hand on Wang Qingyan's head and beginning to strip away the power of primordial life. "They really don't want you anymore."
"..." He once said that circulating the power of primordial life is equivalent to burning tendons and bones.
So removing it would only be more unbearable than this.
But she didn't sense a trace of pain from Wang Qingyan.
"How can they be so patient?" Heavenly Dao asked, expressing the same question.
I had originally wanted to see him suffer terribly, kneel down, kowtow, and cry for mercy.
How could anyone endure such pain?
unless......
[Baili Ce: Retreat immediately!]
"..." Heaven was startled, only then realizing that he could not move.
The ice instantly spread to his hands.
"Bang!" The Heavenly Dao shattered the ice and flew out of his hand, using the impact to send himself more than a hundred meters away.
"Uh..." Before he could even accelerate and start running, Wang Qingyan, who had escaped, grabbed his neck and twisted it with a "snap".
After twisting it, I looked closely and found that it was a piece of dead wood that had broken off.
He angrily flung his hand away and turned around abruptly. The surrounding scenery had all changed, and even the desolate graves under the snow had vanished without a trace.
phantom?
so what!
If anyone dares to send her away, even Heaven will punish them!
......
Soon, Baili Ce herself didn't know where she had been transferred to. The suffocating feeling she had just experienced suddenly disappeared, and the "void barrier" that had trapped her turned into a vast expanse of white mist.
"you die!"
"Why aren't you dead...?"
In this boundless white mist, a commotion soon broke out. Following the sound, Baili Ce saw two illusory figures pulling and shoving each other.
"Damn it, he's actually this strong!" Heavenly Dao only hated that Wang Qingyan was too cunning, that he could be so ruthless to himself in order to lure him into a trap.
Another familiar voice spoke up sarcastically, "Haven't he always been like this?"
Um? ! !
The Ancestral Gu is not dead!
In his haste, Baili Ce wanted to rush over and question him, but found that he couldn't get there no matter what he did.
He raised his hand... only to realize that he didn't actually have a hand.
No, it's not just that it's missing hands; it seems like it's lost even its complete soul form.
How...how could this be? Is she really going to disappear?
It would be better if they really disappeared, but what if they just stay like this, neither alive nor dead, forever...?
Bai Li Ce grew increasingly frightened, and frantically stirred the vast white "ocean" before him...
But the two blurry figures couldn't see her or hear her at all.
Don't panic, don't panic, there's definitely a way, there's definitely a way...
Once she calmed down, she realized that Heaven hadn't heard her voice at all.
"You're still as smart as ever, but..." Heavenly Dao praised him on the surface, but in reality, he was not satisfied at all.
The Ancestral Gu naturally knew what He meant. "You think I want to save you?"
"The way of Heaven is eternal. Some issues are not a matter of whether you want to or not, but rather how you should act."
"..."
Even though it was just a shadow, Baili Ce could tell that the Ancestral Gu was so angry that it wanted to tear the Heavenly Dao apart, but it was helpless to do so.
"Don't worry, the will of Heaven cannot lie."
“She has indeed returned to her time.”
wow!
No wonder Wang Qingyan dragged him down from his pedestal; Heaven dared to lie even in front of the person involved.
The series of shocks had left Baili Ce's mind reeling.
No, are all the "gods" in this world this shameless?
He talks nonsense so convincingly, it's no wonder... wait...
"Look," the Ancestral Gu did not refute this point, and Baili Ce suddenly felt that the Heavenly Dao might, perhaps, have a five percent chance... that it was not lying to her.
First of all, it's definitely not that she didn't want to leave.
She wanted to die!
Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos.
She's just an ordinary person, as ordinary as can be, and to have done this much is already more than enough for anyone!
If there were a way to go back, who would want to stay here?!
Saving the world? She can't even save herself right now.
But judging from the current results, even if the Heavenly Dao obtains the power of the Ancestral Gu, the Ancestral Gu will not die.
The idea that her body was possessed by the Heavenly Dao and that her soul and consciousness would disappear is all a lie.
and so--
Heaven is lying to her!
Zu Gu is a traitor!
She was manipulated.
"I just don't understand why she would take this risk."
It's confirmed! This despicable spy! I'm furious!
"Probably because I showed her something."
"You!" Upon recalling what the Heavenly Dao had shown Baili Ce, the Ancestral Gu lunged forward in anger.
Unfortunately, He was just a grayish-white shadow, and even in His extreme anger, He merely dispersed another shadow.
And the scattered shadows easily merged back together in no time, saying in a lazy voice, "Behave yourselves, we're all in the same sea of consciousness, why bother distinguishing between you and me?"
"Why don't we think about what the world would be like if he won?"
In the long silence, the grayish-white shadow slowly sank into the depths of his consciousness...
Just like when a person suffers a major blow, they hug themselves and helplessly shrink into a corner, clearly unwilling to see a certain outcome, but forced to accept it.
They even had to act as accomplices and clean up after Him.
"You guarantee you can kill him?" When he spoke again, the voice of the Ancestral Gu was filled with helpless compromise.
He was already very weak, and after this, he really wouldn't be able to stop them even if he wanted to.
"When I was stripping away the power of primordial life just now, I put something in. If you can buy me even a little time, even just a short while, I can definitely cripple him."
Dare to defy the will of Heaven?
This time, He not only wants to reclaim the power of mortal life, but also wants to give Wang Qingyan another chance to escape!
......
As they expected, Wang Qingyan soon broke through the Heavenly Dao's illusion and followed the scent on Baili Ce's body to find them.
His attack was filled with murderous intent, aimed straight for the throat.
After several attempts, Heaven finally led him into a new maze, but he himself failed to escape in time.
"Whoosh..." Before he knew it, he was hit by a sword.
But compared to clinging tightly to the blade, Wang Qingyan was truly fearless.
"You really don't care about this body at all."
With his left hand, Bai Li Ce gripped the sword that was heading straight for Wang Qingyan's neck, while with his right hand, he held the sword and pierced Wang Qingyan's left shoulder, rendering him unable to move.
Letting the power of primordial energy churn and run wildly through his meridians and internal organs, Wang Qingyan stepped forward without hesitation, saying, "It's just a shell."
