Chapter 967 - 927: Divine Weapon (Two Chapters in One) (2)
Why did Bai Wuji suddenly commit suicide!?
What exactly happened??
"Hiss!!"
Qin Yun and Song Ningran, along with the others, couldn't help but gasp as they stared at Bai Wuji's headless corpse, then turned their gaze to Qin Heng, their eyes filled with shock!
Now, they finally understood one thing.
That is, why Qin Heng didn't directly eliminate Bai Wuji earlier but instead purposefully used a strand of hair to create a clone and then defeat Bai Wuji with this clone!
It's simple.
It was to destroy Bai Wuji's mind, causing him to fall into complete collapse and feel that living held no hope, so naturally, he couldn't carry on living.
He'd most likely choose suicide!
This way, it's as if Bai Wuji was not killed by Qin Heng at all, but he couldn't handle the psychological pressure and committed suicide.
"Brother, so that was your objective!" Qin Yun, looking at Bai Wuji on the ground, leaned towards Qin Heng and said, "This really was a flawless plan, you killed a Nine Heavens of the Great Saint without breaking a sweat, making him negate himself and kill himself!"
"Ah, what?" Qin Heng was momentarily stunned, glanced at Bai Wuji, then at Qin Yun, and chuckled, "You thought too much. I just thought he was too weak and wasn't worth truly taking action, so I plucked a hair to fight him.
It's unexpected that he had such poor resilience, negating himself to the point of suicide right on the spot, it's truly inconceivable, but this is good, saves me from taking action myself, I was planning to send him to the West anyway."
"..."
"..."
Qin Yun and Song Ningran, along with Xue Qinan and others, were all dumbfounded by Qin Heng's answer, all their previous thoughts were just figments of their imagination??
If this is the case, it means the strength Qin Heng displayed earlier is far more powerful than what they perceived, that's why Bai Wuji, facing Qin Heng's attack directly, closed himself off upon realizing his opponent was just a strand of hair.
Anyone discovering that the strong entity beating them senseless was just another person's strand of hair would feel shut down, even despair!
"Qin Xuantian, boasting should have a limit!!" At this moment, Jiang Luwei spoke, standing high above the sky, looking down on Qin Heng and others, her expression back to its initial indifference, she sneered, "Did you think I couldn't tell that strand of hair isn't yours!"
"Ah?" Qin Heng heard this, paused, then laughed saying, "What are you trying to say?"
"I have to say, you acted out a great performance, even Bai Wuji was deceived to death by you!" Jiang Luwei slightly raised her head, said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, your actual strength likely can't contend with Great Saint Bai Wuji of Nine Heavens.
This is the normal situation, Saint Lord class hasn't even honed True Gang, the gap between you and Great Saint Nine Heavens is like a chasm, not even the son of an Immortal can cross such a heavenly gap, defeat across realms, let alone you!
Thus, that strand of hair from the Saint King, or even stronger, became your trump card, you pretended it was yours, transformed it into a clone like yourself, used the power from the Saint King to defeat Bai Wuji.
After defeating Bai Wuji, the power contained in that strand of hair was also depleted by you, thus unable to maintain the clone state, reverted back to the form of hair, possibly destroying Bai Wuji's mind, leading him to self-negation and eventual suicide!
Simultaneously, this could secure intimidation, preventing me from recklessly acting, deter me from taking action against you, unable to accurately measure your strength, not daring to genuinely act, thus retreating from here, resolving this crisis perfectly, right?"
Jiang Luwei's reasoning, articulated and coherent, nearly convinced Qin Heng.
"How do you know it's not because I truly possess such strength?" Qin Heng still shook his head, turned his gaze towards Jiang Luwei in the sky, chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that if you don't leave now, you'll be killed by me later?"
"To kill me, I fear you lack the ability!" Jiang Luwei's gaze was cold, emanating a chill from her body that suddenly lowered the surrounding temperature, shrouded in dense mist, she said lightly, "Qin Xuantian, I'm right here, come kill me!"
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite then." Qin Heng smiled faintly, he plucked another hair, gently breathed onto it, the hair expanded in the wind, instantly transformed into his likeness.
Another clone formed from a strand of hair!
Jiang Luwei observed, pupils slightly constricting, subconsciously stepping back a bit, then reacting, sneering, "Putting on a show!"
"Last time creating that clone was a bit hurried, the mana infused was little so it disappeared within a few minutes, now this one is different." Qin Heng turned his back to Jiang Luwei, said lightly, "I'm going to kill you."
Boom!!
A tremendous explosive roar accompanied by hurricane-like shockwaves spread out, Qin Heng's clone shot skyward like a cannonball, this was a leap produced by purely leg strength stomping the ground!
At the scene, it made the entire Purple Gold Mountain sink over thirty meters, drastically altering the surrounding terrain!
The current Purple Gold Mountain isn't the same as before the revival of spiritual energy; after the revival, the terrain has changed and expanded, Purple Gold Mountain has become a giant mountain range over five thousand meters tall stretching over one thousand kilometers!!
Qin Heng's clone's leap just transformed the landscape within a hundred miles!
Stab!!
An immensely powerful force generated terrifying kinetic energy, Qin Heng's clone soared through the sky from Purple Gold Mountain like a beam of light, carrying exceptionally powerful might, charging at Jiang Luwei standing high above!
Clang!!
The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out, like a loud call of a crane resounding through the heavens, Qin Heng's clone collided with Jiang Luwei, but the offensive abruptly halted as a moonlight-colored glow flashed about ten centimeters in front of Jiang Luwei, completely blocking Qin Heng's clone's impact!
Rumble!!
Terrifying kinetic energy contained in Qin Heng's clone dissipated, creating layer after layer of air waves in the sky, scattering the clouds within a hundred kilometers, making the originally bright moonlight even brighter!
"Qin Xuantian, did you think I would be utterly defenseless?" Jiang Luwei's eyes narrowed slightly, gaze fixed on Qin Heng, sneered, "I did consider the possibility of you truly having the strength to defeat Bai Wuji, also considered the possibility of you possessing other Saint King hair!
But I don't care about those, don't care what means you hold, what trump card you possess, because no matter what means you have, what trump card you possess, in the face of absolute power, they are trivial!"
Her voice brimmed with confidence, she stood upright, elegantly stretched, gracefully reaching into the void, immediately causing luminous moonlight to appear as if gathering moonlight, causing the laws of heaven and earth to tremble as though bowing down!
Qin Heng's clone furrowed his brow, sensing immensely terrifying power gathering here, he retreated over two hundred meters, his gaze still fixated on Jiang Luwei.
At this moment, Jiang Luwei's right hand was completely enveloped in moonlight, the glow was identical to the one blocking Qin Heng's clone just now!
In less than three seconds, the glow in Jiang Luwei's hand condensed into a dagger just over thirty centimeters long, delicate, pure silver-white, radiating chilling air, as if it could freeze all things in heaven and earth, the cosmos, and the Star Sea!
Jiang Luwei merely holding this dagger, even without truly manifesting its power, caused the resonance and the laws of the world to unknowingly alter, seemingly excluding and suppressing all forces not belonging to moonlight, night, and ice!!
Moreover, the air was freezing, the mountain body of Purple Gold Mountain was also freezing, the ice layers began to form on everything, Qin Yun and Song Ningran started shivering, even Ji Nanxiang, the Great Saint, began trembling!
It's cold!
The surrounding temperature was too low; even a Great Saint was unable to resist this level of cold!
"This blade, named Cold Moon, was bestowed to me by my master before descending to the Lower Realm." Jiang Luwei, like a celestial being detached from earthly mundanity, placed this crescent-shaped Divine Saber in front of herself, her gaze cold like perennial sea ice, looking down on Qin Heng, she said lightly:
"This is a Divine Weapon! Qin Xuantian, do you know what a Divine Weapon means?"
