The binding of the branches became tighter and tighter, and their strength became stronger and stronger. They were slowly straining Qin Xiao's Immortal Body.
A thousand years was the limit.
Therefore, if Qin Xiao could not escape from this place within a thousand years, he would definitely die under these branches. Being strangled to death was an extremely painful thing.
Death was not scary most of the time. What was scary was knowing that you were going to die. You were slowly dying, and you could only watch helplessly as death drew closer and closer. There was no way to escape.
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years …
With the passage of time, Qin Xiao could clearly feel that the twisting force was getting stronger and stronger, and he was in more and more pain.
In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed. Qin Xiao was beginning to be unable to withstand it, and his Immortal Body was beginning to suffer damage. If this continued, the Immortal Body would start to slowly crumble.
"Am I really going to die here this time?" Qin Xiao sighed helplessly in his heart.
In the past five hundred years, he had tried everything, but he could not break free from the binding of these branches.
At least for now, it seemed impossible to break free from these branches. He did not even have the strength to resist.
This feeling was like an ant trying to push away a huge rock. It was an impossible task.
He was getting closer and closer to death. Step by step, he was getting closer and closer.
What should he do?
Helplessness. Qin Xiao was really helpless. There was nothing he could do.
"Is the test of the Peach Blossom Valley Master really so scary? The moment I came in, I immediately fell into an unsolvable predicament. If that's the case, then what's the point? "
"I always feel that the Peach Blossom Valley Master is an extraordinary person. The test he created should not be like this."
"It can't be like this. It can't be!"
The more Qin Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible. Therefore, a bold idea popped up in his mind. Perhaps the King was just trying to scare him. This was the only possibility that made sense.
"Hey, kid, you're really something!"
Just as Qin Xiao was thinking about this possibility, a voice suddenly rang out. From the voice, he could tell that it was the King.
Qin Xiao knew that His Majesty had never left and had been spying on him in the dark. His Majesty's sudden appearance further confirmed this point.
Qin Xiao looked at King and calmed down. Qin Xiao felt that this possibility was very high.
If that was the case, then what was there to worry about?
Therefore, Qin Xiao looked at Wang Da calmly and indifferently. This behavior caused Wang Da to frown involuntarily. He sized up Qin Xiao with a strange gaze before saying, "You brat, you're about to die, yet you can still be so calm and composed. Your heart is really big."
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
Qin Xiao curled her lips and said with a faint smile, "I'm not afraid of death. It's normal for cultivators like us to not be afraid of death. It's just that no one wants to die if they can live. "
"Furthermore, this is only a clone of mine. Even if it dies, I'll only lose a clone. It's not true death."
"The loss is great, but it's really irreparable. There's no other way."
His Majesty said, "I gave you a way out, but you didn't choose it. It's not that you're completely out of options. How is it irreparable?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "The bottom line principle is something that I can't do anything about."
"My Majesty, you don't have to test me. If you have something to say, just say it."
"If you want me to bow my head, that's absolutely impossible. I, Qin Xiao, am definitely a person who would rather die than submit."
"Before entering the Enchanting Fire Domain, I've already prepared for the worst and made all the preparations."
"Therefore, you don't have to use death to pressure me. It's useless. If you don't believe me, you can try. "
Qin Xiao's words obviously made His Majesty very unhappy. He pursed his lips with an unhappy expression.
"Is it so difficult for you to say a few nice words? Rather die than submit? "
"Yes, rather die than submit."
"Hateful brat, then you can slowly wait for your death."
With that, His Majesty angrily swung his arm and left.
His Majesty really did leave this time. He wasn't playing a smoke bomb with Qin Xiao.
Time passed year after year.
Soon, another three hundred years had passed. Qin Xiao had been bound by these branches for eight hundred years.
His Majesty had said that Qin Xiao could last for a thousand years at most. Qin Xiao had also calculated that he could last for a thousand years at most.
Now that it had been eight hundred years, his immortal body, soul, and will had suffered a lot of destruction and damage. At this time, Qin Xiao was relying on the strength of his strong faith to support himself and fight to the death.
It was getting more and more painful, more and more difficult, and he was getting closer and closer to death.
When the strength of his faith completely collapsed, it would be the time of his death.
No matter how much he persisted, he wouldn't be able to last for two hundred years at most. Even now, Qin Xiao felt that he had reached his limit.
In fact, Qin Xiao could completely collapse and die at any time, let alone two hundred years.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong? His Majesty is serious. He's not using this to test me or something like that. Will he really kill me? "
"No, it can't be like that. It can't be like that."
Qin Xiao also doubted his own conjecture, but he immediately rejected it. He still firmly believed that it was like that.
It was precisely because of this resolute strength that Qin Xiao had the strength to persevere.
Therefore, Qin Xiao's heart was still as calm as an ancient well. The calmer his heart was, the stronger his strength was. In the face of fierce winds and huge waves, he could still stand firm and unmoving, as steady as Mount Tai.
The strength of the heart could play a big role at any time.
"Kid, how does it feel? It doesn't feel good, does it? "
His Majesty suddenly popped up again and looked at Qin Xiao with a playful expression.
Qin Xiao looked at his Majesty calmly, curled his lips, and said, "It's alright."
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, you're so stubborn. I'd like to see how long you can be stubborn and still dare to deny it." His Majesty naturally didn't believe Qin Xiao's words. He knew better than anyone else what it felt like.
Therefore, it was obviously nonsense to say that it was alright.
However, Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He didn't reply at all.
His Majesty stood there, feeling a little frustrated. He originally wanted to play with Qin Xiao, but who knew that Qin Xiao's counterattack would make him feel frustrated again and again.
This feeling drove his Majesty a little crazy.
He had been bored in here for god knows how many years. Finally, someone came in and he could play, but he didn't even have a good time. How annoying was that?
"Kid, if you can't stand the pain, you can beg me. As long as you beg me, I can consider not killing you. "Since the hard way didn't work, his Majesty decided to use the soft way.
Hearing his Majesty's words, Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile in his heart.
There was a hint of information in his words, but it made Qin Xiao believe that his guess was most likely correct.
This Majesty actually didn't want to kill him at all, so it was possible that this wasn't a test for him. The real test had yet to come.
The binding of the branches might just be the Majesty's way of toying with him.
However, even if there wasn't such a possibility, Qin Xiao wouldn't lower his head. He would rather die than be so lowly.
Qin Xiao continued to ignore his Majesty, as if he had turned a deaf ear to his words.
Such an attitude continued to provoke his Majesty, who was really going crazy.
"Ahhh —"
The provoked Majesty suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Damn kid, you actually don't know what's good for you. Do you believe that I can kill you with one slap?"
As he spoke, the King raised his hand abruptly. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him. If this slap really landed on Qin Xiao's body, it was really possible to kill Qin Xiao with one slap.
Qin Xiao absolutely didn't doubt his Majesty's strength.
His realm alone was a third-step Heavenly Venerable, and his aura was very strong, so he was definitely a third-step Heavenly Venerable.
It wouldn't be difficult for such an existence to kill him with one slap.
Moreover, he didn't even have a trace of resistance now, so it would be even easier to kill him.
Even so, Qin Xiao still didn't lower his head and chose to continue ignoring his Majesty.
Even if this slap really landed on him, he would still ignore it. Qin Xiao's heart was strong enough to face everything calmly.
Life was something that couldn't be begged for. Death was something that couldn't be stopped.
Knowing this, Qin Xiao actually didn't need to do anything. Everything would be a waste.
Whether he lived or died, Qin Xiao firmly believed in his own feelings. The Majesty definitely wouldn't kill him like this. He definitely wouldn't.
This wasn't a gamble, but a strong belief in his heart that made Qin Xiao firmly believe.
It was as if it was a truth that he would definitely agree with.
If this wasn't the case, then he could only say that he was wrong. If he lost, then he would have no regrets even if he died.
Wasn't the path of cultivation like this?
Most of the time, it was a gamble, a gamble of life and death. Now, it was a gamble of life and death.
The strong must have won many life-and-death battles and trampled on their opponents one by one. They stepped on countless corpses to reach the peak step by step.
Sure enough —
The Majesty's slap stopped when it was only a fist away from Qin Xiao. Although the slap hadn't landed on him yet, Qin Xiao already felt a powerful force surging toward him.
It felt as if they were facing a level-12 tsunami. Even if it didn't descend upon you, you could still feel the terrifying aura that came from it.
"You, you, you —" Although the Majesty's slap had stopped, its face was green with anger. "You're infuriating me to death."
"Ah, ah, ah, my hand, it's so unbearable."
The Majesty went crazy again. It could be seen that the Majesty really wanted to slap Qin Xiao to death, but it didn't dare to do so.
On the contrary, a faint smile appeared on Qin Xiao's face. The Majesty's action meant that Qin Xiao's guess was basically not far from the truth.
This was the hope of survival.
"Damn brat, will you die if you beg me?" The Majesty glared at Qin Xiao and said angrily.
There was a hint of hidden bitterness in these words.
"I won't die." Qin Xiao shook his head honestly.
"That's it. You won't die if you beg me. You can even ask me to let you go immediately. Why can't you beg me?"
"Although I won't die, I'll live a life worse than death, so of course I can't beg you."
"…"
The Majesty's face was green and white with anger. It took a while before it calmed down. It didn't forget to roll its eyes at Qin Xiao and said, "You brat, you're as smart as a ghost. Were you sure that I wouldn't kill you from the beginning? Is that why you're so stubborn?
”
Hearing the Majesty's words, Qin Xiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
