"Am … Am I going to die?"
The Sunlight Nether Fish's face was originally a little comical. Its two bean-sized eyes and thick lips made it look a little silly like a human.
However, due to the stimulation from the food and the rage, the comical fish's face became exceptionally fierce. It opened its mouth wide and revealed its sharp teeth.
It dashed towards the vicious beast meat in Fatty's hand, but no one thought that the Sunlight Nether Fish would stop after swallowing the vicious beast meat.
Wu Zi's deliberate attempt to tame the vicious beast had stimulated its emotions to the point that it had gone berserk. As a beast, its ferocious nature had been completely stimulated, and it would kill even more!
"Brother Fatty!" At this critical moment, Wu Zi struggled to stand up. Unfortunately, he could only call out 'Brother Fatty' in his heart.
"Fatty!" Dong Yang reacted quickly enough to turn around and thrust his spear forward.
But was it too late? It was too late!
At this moment, no one could feel the immense pressure and the reality of impending death more than Fatty. Therefore, there was only one thought in his mind — am I going to die?
Other than that, Fatty's mind was blank! It turned out that in the face of true danger, humans would not feel fear or panic. Instead, they would be numb to everything before they could react.
Under such numbness, the fatty couldn't react at all. He could only watch as the Sunlight Nether Fish swallowed the piece of vicious beast meat he was dangling in the air. Then, its bean-sized eyes revealed an ominous glint as it locked onto him.
"Damn it, I should have confessed to West Wind." In the next moment, another thought appeared in Fatty's numb mind.
However, after the thought appeared, Fatty's mind turned blank.
It was not the blankness caused by numbness, but a true blankness. His eyes could no longer see, the ferocious Netherworld Fish before him had disappeared, and his ears could not hear anything either. There was a loud splash just now, and Dong Yang seemed to have shouted at him. On top of that, he could no longer smell the fishy stench on the Netherworld Fish, and his body could no longer feel the wind that the Netherworld Fish stirred up.
Yes, it was a true blankness. He had lost all his senses.
Fatty panicked at this moment. Was he going to die without feeling anything? But at this moment, even his flustered emotions were suppressed by a strange force that suddenly appeared.
Fatty inexplicably entered a state of absolute calmness, even his mental state was absolutely calm.
Amidst this tranquility, Fatty suddenly saw a black void. Beneath the void was a sea of blood. Beneath the void, above the sea of blood, his body suddenly appeared.
This feeling was abnormally strange. What was this? He saw himself? Or could it be that he was already dead, so what he saw was his soul?
Fatty's mind was filled with speculations, but he couldn't even have emotions in this damned state. It was really strange to speculate about these things in a calm state.
What was even stranger was that his body was bound by chains in the void. The chains were silver and thin, and there were small copper locks intertwined between the chains.
However, upon closer inspection, the chains weren't chains, and the locks weren't locks either. Instead, they had transformed into purple runes, leaving one baffled.
Could it be that I've committed too many sins in my life, so am I going to be tied up and sent to hell? Fatty grew up in an ancient aristocratic family in the east. He had heard a lot of myths and legends about the old eastern civilization.
He thought of it as a matter of course, but he couldn't feel any emotions in his heart. The feeling was unbearable.
It was at that moment that Fatty heard a voice from the depths of his heart.
"Live?
Die? "
"Motherf * cker, of course I want to live. I haven't even confessed to West Wind yet." The voice only uttered two words, but Fatty somehow understood what it meant. It was asking him whether he wanted to live or die.
Fatty had been afraid of death his whole life. He was as timid as a mouse, so he would never choose death! Therefore, Fatty cursed back instinctively.
His voice echoed in the void, and the voice that came from the depths of his heart suddenly grew louder, echoing throughout the void.
"Then break it."
"Break what?" Before Fatty could ask, his feeling changed again. He was no longer the bystander, but the one who was tied up in the void.
At that moment, no matter how stupid Fatty was, he knew that if he wanted to live, he had to break the chains that bound him.
All of this was too 'fantastical'. It had completely subverted Fatty's worldview. However, his strong survival instinct and West Wind's cute face had become Fatty's greatest motivation. He had no time to think too much.
Since he could survive by breaking the chains, he would try his best to break free! He had to try to find out, didn't he?
Fatty started to struggle with all his might. At that moment, as if a force felt that Fatty's pressure wasn't enough, a tremendous sense of fear started to surround Fatty.
What was this fear? It was the fear of death! The fear that Fatty didn't have the time to feel during the crisis just now suddenly became clear to him!
At this moment, all his emotions had returned to normal. Fatty was so frightened that he burst into tears. He struggled even harder!
As if sensing Fatty's struggle, the chains binding Fatty's body began to flicker, resisting Fatty's struggle.
However, upon a closer look, there were at least three spots on the chains that bound Fatty's body. The flickering light was not as clear as before, and it seemed a little weak. The little lock that was hanging on those spots was shaking a little too.
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Fatty cried so hard that tears and snot flowed out of his eyes. His chubby body rolled on the blood sea nimbly for a few times.
Finally, at this moment, the shaky lock fell off and fell into the sea of blood. As the lock fell off, two of the chains on Fatty's body broke off.
Buzz! As soon as the chain was broken, the surroundings in front of Fatty's eyes immediately disappeared, and he returned to his blank brain. Suddenly, a surge of power surged in his brain. This power surged out so violently that it actually made a buzzing sound.
As the buzzing sounded, Fatty's blank mind instantly recovered all his senses. He saw the Sunlight Nether Fish in front of him again, heard Dong Yang's shouts, heard the splashing water, and smelled the fishy stench on the fish.
His five senses were back, but he was still in a hopeless situation.
The magical scene just now made him feel like a long time had passed, but when he returned to reality, he realized that not even a second had passed. The Sunlight Nether Fish was still glaring at him fiercely.
The fatty looked at the Sunlight Netherworld Fish in fear. The Sunlight Netherworld Fish, which had already swallowed the ferocious beast meat, twisted its body and pounced towards the platform.
Without a doubt, if it pounced on the platform, all it needed to do was wave its tail and it could sweep the defenseless Fatty and Five into the water. Then …
Dong Yang's mind buzzed. In that short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, including using his trump card, but he still could not stop the Sunlight Nether Fish.
However, the look in Fatty's eyes changed at this moment. He strangely felt a huge force surging out of his brain, passing through the void and directly entering the brain of the Sunlight Nether Fish in front of him!
He seemed to be able to feel the Nether Fish's anger, as well as its greedy appetite. Apart from that, he also discovered a ball of energy in the depths of the Nether Fish's brain that was similar to his own.
However, compared to his own power, the force in the fish's brain was far weaker.
At that moment, Fatty seemed to have understood something.
His gaze turned from strange to calm. He looked at the ferocious Sunlight Nether Fish and said, "Stop."
At this moment, the Nether Fish had already leaped onto the platform. Although the Nether Fish was definitely not a large ferocious beast, it was about the size of a human and was filled with absolute power.
In its frenzied state, how could it stop because of a single sentence from Fatty? Since it had gained some intelligence, its eyes flashed with a human-like mockery when it heard Fatty's words.
However, in the next moment, the Sunlight Nether Fish's body suddenly froze.
It felt a strong pressure coming from its brain and a pain that felt like its brain was going to burst.
It turned out that the force that Fatty had sent into its brain was pressuring the force in its brain.
No one knew what was going on.
Dong Yang, who was thrusting his spear at the Sunlight Nether Fish, sensed the perfect opportunity and plunged his spear into the fish's body without a second thought.
Wu Zi also struggled to stand up. His throat kept trembling as he let out a strange 'wu wu' sound.
Both of them tried to solve Fatty's predicament.
However, Fatty's expression became cold and hard, completely different from the usual 'kind' Fatty.
He turned around to Dong Yang and Five and said in a heavy voice, "This is my enemy."
What did he mean?
Dong Yang was stunned, so were Five, and even Higan, Han Xing, and West Wind, who had just entered the room, were stunned.
In the next moment, Han Xing and West Wind's expressions changed. They wanted to dash over, but they heard Higan's calm voice. "Wait."
Without Tang Ling around, Higan was the absolute pillar of support, so her "wait" stopped Han Xing and West Wind in their tracks.
In that short instant, a cruel smile appeared on Fatty's face. It was so strange.
At the same time, the force that he sent into the Sunlight Nether Fish's brain suddenly transformed into a heavy hammer.
It hammered the ball of force in the Sunlight Nether Fish's brain!
"I told you to stop. Don't you understand me?" Fatty said in a cold voice.
Bang! A tremor came from the Sunlight Nether Fish's brain, and the immense pain made it struggle violently.
"Huh? You don't understand me? "
"What do you mean by stop? Do you want me to explain? "
"Stop! Huh?! Do you understand? Stop! "
Hammer after hammer, the Sunlight Nether Fish started to struggle violently on the platform. Even though it was just a vicious beast and not a human, one could feel that it was suffering from torturous pain.
Even so, it dared not get close to Fatty and did not dare to run back into the water. All it did was struggle on the platform.
"Spit it out!"
At this moment, Fatty said coldly.
The Sunlight Nether Fish showed hesitation in its eyes. Fatty chuckled coldly and a ruthless gaze flashed over his eyes.
"Spit it out!
Spit it out! "
The Sunlight Nether Fish started to struggle frantically again. The vicious beast meat in its mouth was spat out the moment Fatty screamed.
However, Fatty did not want to end the game. With a cruel smile on his face, he continued to torture the dying Sunlight Nether Fish.
"Brother Fatty, it's going to die. It's the boss's most important … "Five was suddenly afraid of Fatty, so he tried to warn him.
"What's going on?" Dong Yang had no idea what Fatty had done after he pulled out his spear. However, if this went on, the Sunlight Nether Fish would really die.
"West Wind, go stop him." Higan was in deep thought. She then told West Wind to stop Fatty.
Han Xing opened his mouth. He felt like Fatty had become a stranger all of a sudden.
Only West Wind was carefree and did not feel anything was wrong. He just felt that Fatty was somehow irritating. Who gave him the right to be so arrogant?!
Therefore, after Higan's words, Zephyr dashed over without a second thought and kicked Fatty's butt from the back.
Fatty turned around and glared at West Wind angrily and coldly. "How dare you …"
"What are you glaring at me for? I dare!" How dare Fatty glare at her and threaten her? West Wind's anger was not ordinary. He rushed over and violently beat Fatty's head.
"How dare you hit me! You …"
"Huh? West Wind? Why are you here? "
"It's dangerous!"
"Sob, don't hit me! What happened? "
"West Wind … No, I can't do it anymore. My head hurts. I don't …"
At this time, the fatty completely woke up. What he didn't understand was that he was about to die just now, but why was West Wind hitting him when he woke up?
He instinctively wanted to remind West Wind that it was dangerous, but West Wind did not hold back. Although she was hitting him, it was not as painful as usual.
Fatty was afraid of pain, so he was beaten to tears by West Wind. He did not care about anything else.
It was at this moment that he suddenly felt a dizzy and hollow pain in his head.
Once the pain appeared, it was unstoppable.
So, after Fatty shouted, his body suddenly fell backward.
"It's not an act?!" Fatty's pain was not fake. Even West Wind could see it with a glance.
This time, it was West Wind's turn to panic. She wanted to pull Fatty back, but how could she do so in a panic?
West Wind had no choice but to go behind Fatty and use his body to block Fatty's fall. Otherwise, from this angle, Fatty would fall directly into the water.
"Ah, I'm so happy …" Amidst the pain and dizziness, Fatty felt West Wind hugging him from behind. He also felt a soft sensation on his back.
"She still cares about me." A smile appeared on Fatty's face before he finally fainted.
"He passed out?" West Wind hugged Fatty dumbly. He did not expect Fatty to pass out just like that. "I-I didn't … I-I just punched him a few times with the strength of a normal person."
West Wind stuttered as he tried to explain. Then, he subconsciously sat down and let the fainted Fatty rest on his lap.
Unfortunately, Fatty had passed out, so he could not enjoy the scene that he yearned for.
It was then that Higan walked over. "You didn't knock him out. I'm afraid … "
"Afraid of what?" West Wind blinked a few times.
"I'm just guessing. He might have overexerted himself due to an uncontrollable force." Higan squatted down and placed her palm an inch away from Fatty's forehead. She then said with certainty, "Indeed, he overexerted himself. Bring him back to his room to rest. "
"Put the Sunlight Nether Fish back into the water and feed it the vicious beast meat. Otherwise, it will really die," Higan said softly.
She then stood up and said, "There's nothing else to do here. Five, you go get some rest too.
After that, Higan left.
Fortunately, everyone had gotten used to Higan's distant attitude, so Five did not say anything else. That was because Fatty was unexpectedly powerful! After all that, he was even more powerful than Five's taming.
It's just that this matter feels a little weird! Brother Fatty … Is he alright?
**
Ji Manor.
Ji Wenji was sitting in his courtyard.
The walls of the courtyard had been torn down earlier and replaced with rows of sparse bamboo fences.
Sitting in the courtyard, Ji Wenji could see the secluded mountains and the misty scenery in the distance.
The bamboo in the courtyard was green and the flowers were elegant.
There was also a pot of tea after the rain.
The scene was enough to calm one's heart. However, Ji Wenji's heart was strangely anxious.
Huff. Ji Wenji stood up in irritation and paced around the courtyard. How long had it been since he last felt this anxious?
He had left home when he was young and ventured into this absurd world.
After going through a lot of troubles, he finally understood that his destiny was to protect his family, his family, and then the world, if he had the ability …
This was not Ji Wenji's final fate, but everyone's fate was the same.
Such a fate was already the deepest despair. After experiencing such a truth, what else could make him anxious and flustered?
Ji Wenji asked himself again, but he did not get an answer.
Finally, Ji Wenji put down the teacup in his hand. It was as if there was a force urging him to go to the top of the ancestral mountain of the Ji family at this time, to see the Great Ancestor.
The people of the Ji family would never go against the will of their hearts. With that thought in mind, Ji Wenji immediately walked out of his courtyard.
On the peak of the mountain.
The Ancestral Patriarch's limestone courtyard seemed a little lonely. The black door that was usually closed all year long was open.
Ji Wenji was slightly stunned when he saw the scene, but he walked in without hesitation.
"You're here?" The Ancestral Patriarch was sitting on a cushion in the courtyard, looking at the distant sky. Ji Wenji did not turn around.
"Ancestral Patriarch knew I would come," Ji Wenji bowed deeply and said.
"The Nine Orifices Chain of Life of Chengxi's avatar is broken." The Ancestral Patriarch did not answer Ji Wenji's question directly.
As soon as he said that, Ji Wenji was stunned on the spot and could not speak for a long time.
The Ancestral Patriarch did not speak either. He lowered his head and squinted his eyes, as if he had entered a meditative state.
"Ancestral Patriarch, save my son." Ji Wenji suddenly knelt down.
"I can't. I can't go any further. Therefore, this power could not be wasted at all. It has a greater use. You understand. "The Ancestral Patriarch rejected Ji Wenji directly. His tone was emotionless.
Ji Wenji was silent for a long time again, but he did not want to get up.
"Wenji, I've said it before. Do you want Chengxi to live a mediocre life, or do you want him to shine for a moment? You haven't answered me yet, "the Ancestral Patriarch said after Ji Wenji remained silent.
"I, I want him to live a mediocre life. But Ancestral Patriarch, you broke the seal. You … decided his fate. You want him to shine for a moment. "Ji Wenji took a deep breath and mustered up all his courage.
"You resent me?" The Ancestral Patriarch opened his eyes.
"Resent! In the Boundless World, my only selfish desire is for my son to live in ignorance. But Ancestral Patriarch, you forced Chengxi into my dream, made him … "Ji Wenji did not want to continue.
"I know you resent me. But why don't you ask me why I'm doing this? "The Ancestral Patriarch finally turned to Ji Wenji.
"Why?" Ji Wenji also looked up.
"Because time waits for no man …" The Ancestral Patriarch answered.
"What? It's already at this point? You don't even have time for Chengxi to live out his life as a normal person? "This time, Ji Wenji finally stood up and took a few steps back.
"That's it." As he spoke, the Ancestral Patriarch looked at the sky and sighed softly.
"Fate. Chengxi's fate is like this. He won't fall into danger because of his own situation because he will meet the person he should meet. He is one of the shining stars.
"Wenji, do you think I'll forcefully turn things around in front of fate? No, I won't! I don't have the ability to. In front of fate, I can only go with the flow.
So, even if I don't do anything, he will still meet Tang Ling. He will also meet Tang Ling … Once they meet, he will turn into one of the stars. "
"I'm just going with the flow, that's all."
Ji Wenji stood blankly on the spot. The others might not understand what the Ancestral Patriarch was talking about, but the Ancestral Patriarch had told him everything.
"Wenji understands. Let Chengxi's matter be. From today onwards, Wenji will cultivate hard day and night. "Ji Wenji bowed deeply at the Ancestral Patriarch.
"Go." The Ancestral Patriarch closed his eyes again.
After Ji Wenji left, a sigh once again rang out from the lonely courtyard on the mountain peak.
