Chapter 729 - 728 West King Valley
"No matter what you call it, it can’t change the fact that you are my arch-enemy," the Reincarnation Elder said indifferently.
"The world is indeed small. I was actually planning to look for you at the Taoist Clan," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
Back at the Yin-Yang Sect, he had slain Chu Yang, and the Reincarnation Elder had escaped by transforming into reincarnation.
Afterward, in another life, he became the Saint Heir of the Taoist Clan.
"I’m rather curious, how did you know it was me?" Xu Zimei asked.
Considering he was currently in Lin Qiu’s body, he hadn’t expected the Reincarnation Elder to recognize him.
"The aura of my mark of reincarnation lingers on your Divine Soul. Unless your soul perishes utterly, I can sense it even in ashes," the Reincarnation Elder said coldly.
"Reincarnation is truly troublesome," Xu Zimei shook his head.
"What, you want revenge?"
"Day and night, I’ve thought of nothing else," the ambient aura of reincarnation was emanating from the Reincarnation Elder.
Beyond the power of reincarnation, there was also a tinge of Taoist Charm.
It was apparent that he had been diligently practicing over the years, having mastered many techniques of the Taoist Clan.
"I’m wondering whether to twist your head off now or to use a more cruel method," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"You are still so arrogant," the Reincarnation Elder snorted coldly.
At this moment, seven Vein Gates opened around him, and the might belonging to the Saint Vein Realm was circulating around him.
As the chosen contender for Destiny in this era for the Taoist Clan, they nearly exhausted their resources to cultivate their Saint Heir in secrecy.
Combined with the Reincarnation Elder’s own talent, even though his cultivation couldn’t catch up with Xu Zimei’s, he had also reached the Saint Vein Realm.
"I’m not sure what the time discrepancy is between the Eternal Ancient Continent and the Yuan Central Continent," Xu Zimei thought to himself.
The difference in time between two different worlds was also dissimilar.
It’s like spending ten days in the Divine Continent, but in reality, only one day passes in the outside world.
"Tian Yu, what are you doing?" a young man nearby noticed the Reincarnation Elder’s anomaly and stepped forward to ask.
"Stand back, I have some personal grievances to handle," the Reincarnation Elder said indifferently.
"Now is the time for demons and monsters to attack the city. Can whatever it is wait until it’s over?" the young man asked, seeming troubled.
"I told you to stand back," the Reincarnation Elder turned his head and gave the young man a cold glance.
The next moment, the power of reincarnation enveloped him and he took to the air, slapping a palm toward Xu Zimei.
"After so many years, still no progress," Xu Zimei shook his head.
He let the big palm fall on him, remaining unmoved.
The Reincarnation Elder’s gaze hardened, and he circled his hands in front of him, with swirls of reincarnation power gathering at his palms.
At the next moment, he uttered a light cry, "Reincarnation Myriad Aspects Slash."
The compiled power of reincarnation in his hands transformed into a blade Qi, within which evolved myriad aspects.
The blade Qi slowly revolved in front of him, and the surrounding space began to crack under the strain of its sharpness.
The next moment, the Reincarnation Elder swung his right hand, sending the blade Qi hurtling toward Xu Zimei with the speed of sound.
"Such a meaningless fight," Xu Zimei extended his right hand and caught the Reincarnation Myriad Aspects Slash’s blade Qi, crushing it in the void.
The next moment, his body disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a fleeting shadow.
He reappeared in front of the Reincarnation Elder, grabbed his neck, and hoisted him up.
"Your weakness robs me of even the slightest desire to battle," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
"Young master, please stop. He is the Saint Heir of the Taoist Clan. I apologize on his behalf and hope you can spare his life," the young man who had previously tried to dissuade the Reincarnation Elder hastily stepped forward, speaking anxiously.
"There’s no need to beg him," the Reincarnation Elder, struggling to breathe, managed to say.
"Even if I die at his hands, I won’t bow my head."
Xu Zimei laughed, then crushed the Reincarnation Elder’s throat in one grip and sent him flying away.
The Reincarnation Elder’s body slammed heavily to the side.
If he had been an ordinary person whose throat was crushed, he would have probably died long ago, but he was a Saint, at most he would suffer for a while and then recover.
The Reincarnation Elder lay on the ground, convulsing continuously, with blood gushing out of his mouth relentlessly.
Xu Zimei walked step by step to the Reincarnation Elder, slowly raised his right foot, and rubbed it on top of his head.
"You wanted revenge, I gave you a chance and yet you were useless," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Kill me, or one day I will kill you," the Reincarnation Elder struggled to say, his eyes bloodshot.
"I’ll be waiting for you to come and kill me," Xu Zimei smiled.
He kicked the Reincarnation Elder away with one foot, then turned and left.
He didn’t intervene in the matters of Chu City, instead, he took the two Seven-faced Demon Generals and headed toward West King Valley.
"Why didn’t you kill him, master?" the White Bone Demon asked in confusion.
"He is bound to die, but I don’t want to let him die so easily," Xu Zimei said, shaking his head.
"For a person who is about to die, death is always the most comfortable ending, unable to feel pain and despair."
In his previous life, Xu Zimei had struggled in the guilt and despair of many people for a long time, and he knew the pain better than anyone else.
His father turned grey overnight and secluded himself in the mountains, his mother met a tragic end, and his best friend Ruhu took a sword for him.
Xu Zimei swore that he could never forget that torment, even if he had a second life, those memories still remained.
When Xu Zimei’s figure had walked far away, the Reincarnation Elder, who had a furious expression before, suddenly calmed down.
He struggled to sit up from the ground, sitting quietly and watching the direction Xu Zimei left.
"Tian Yu, are you okay?" a young man came over and asked with concern.
"I’m fine," the Reincarnation Elder gestured with his hand and said indifferently.
"These past few years, I’ve been trying to track down his whereabouts, but couldn’t find any trace of him, as if he had evaporated from this world.
I never thought I would encounter him here today."
"You were too rash, even if he’s an enemy, you shouldn’t have fought with him," the young man said, shaking his head.
"His strength is clearly above yours."
"Yes, I’m finding him more and more inscrutable.
Just by myself, revenge seems difficult," the Reincarnation Elder said with a shake of his head.
"Maybe I should go and find that girl Baili."
...
After leaving Chu City, Xu Zimei and the other three made their way toward West King Valley.
Along the way, numerous little demons swarmed towards the three, but they had the White Bone Demon as their protector.
Within a radius of dozens of meters, not a single demon could approach.
Passing the plains in front of the city, a forest lay directly ahead.
According to the shopkeeper of the inn, West King Valley should be just beyond the forest.
Compared to the plains’ lesser demons, those inside the forest were denser and far more ferocious.
After the three traversed the forest, they saw in the depths of it trees emitting dark mists, towering before their eyes.
These trees were several meters tall, leafless, with droplets of liquid seeping out from within their trunks.
This viscous liquid gathered together, forming spherical objects.
