Chapter 1094: Trading Wounds for Wounds
Ssss——!
In the Wind God Huh's disbelieving eyes, the blade of killing intent bisected his body in an instant, and he fell helplessly from the sky, plunging into the snow.
Under a desolate,昏暗 sky, behind the three Ennead Gods, a towering colossus silently surging with killing intent flames had appeared without anyone noticing.
The Sky God Nut and the Earth God Geb's pupils contracted sharply!
The two身形闪出数十里，惊恐的回望远处那尊巨大黑影，眼眸中满是难以置信。
那么庞大的体型，是怎么无声无息的突然出现的？！
Before they could recover from their shock, the towering colossus flashed again, appearing within the waves of killing intent beside them. It raised its black blade high and swung down fiercely!
Killing intent flames mixed with deafening roars exploded in succession in the distance. Baili Pangpang, draped in a Taoist robe, stepped through the snow and stopped slowly before a snow crater.
He glanced at the towering colossus pressing down on the two gods in the distance, then looked down at the Wind God Huh's body gradually regenerating in the snow. He sighed:
"Below the gods, above all mortals... Too bad, without the power of laws, one cannot kill a god."
He squatted down and drew a talisman on Huh's broken body, sealing it completely. The regeneration process also suddenly stalled.
Baili Pangpang stood up, about to join the battlefield, when he seemed to sense something and turned to look into the distance.
"At last, they're here..."
After a moment of contemplation, his身形 vanished from this battlefield as if he had never existed.
...
Boom boom boom——!!
Several bolts of pale lightning struck down from the clouds, scorching the blue robe on Isis until it was charred black.
She dodged Lin Qiye's掌间的夜色 while simultaneously defending against the nimble thunder beast Lai Fu. Her身形连连后退，狼狈不堪.
Lin Qiye, in his flowing night-colored robe dancing wildly in the wind and snow, had his severed right hand slowly regenerate—bone forming, flesh growing—under the power of the Youth God.
At the same time, a patch of lush green grass spread like a tide beneath his feet. Whenever Isis tried to draw on the earth's life force to grow plants, 【永恒的秘密花园】 would devour it completely, converting the pure life energy back to Lin Qiye, making his severed right hand recover even faster.
Despite all this, Lin Qiye felt no relief in his heart; his brow only furrowed deeper.
The severed arm could be repaired, but the time he could maintain his life was running out. Once the duration of Bragi's soul and the effects of Ghost God引 ended, he would perish. At that time, the Sacred Monument would be unguarded, completely exposed before Isis.
He couldn't let Isis drag this on any longer... Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Didn't you want to kill me?"
Lin Qiye stepped forward, boundless darkness spreading from his robe. Those deep eyes calmly gazed at the retreating Isis as he spoke calmly:
"Come on, I'm right here. The堂堂 Life God Isis, why is she so pathetic against a mortal?"
Isis froze, then a unprecedented fury appeared on her cold face. Lin Qiye's simple words were truly heart-stabbing, directly piercing her most resentful place. This was clearly just a bug she could crush with a slap, yet now for some inexplicable reason it was pressing down on her, and she had no way to fight back.
Her pride and dignity as a god were trampled underfoot by this mortal, rendered worthless.
Her brow furrowed tightly, rage burning in her heart. Instead of retreating, her身形 pressed forward. She endured the thunderbolts from the thunder beast and charged forward, her flesh撞破雷光. Surging divine power turned into countless thorned vines hanging upside down, coiling toward Lin Qiye's body.
Lin Qiye's身形 transformed into night. He dodged repeatedly among the strangling vines, and in an instant had teleported to before Isis.
As if she had predicted Lin Qiye's landing spot long ago, Isis coldly snorted. Over a dozen vines shot out from beneath her blue robe, piercing through Lin Qiye's body at extremely close range.
The sharp thorns tore open Lin Qiye's flesh, pinning him in place within one meter of Isis. Agonizing pain filled Lin Qiye's mind. His face twisted hideously, but there was no panic—instead, a smile even curled at the corner of his lips.
Isis's heart jumped slightly.
A brilliant magic array suddenly bloomed from Lin Qiye's pinned hand. The next moment, a severed arm mixed with凌厉的剑光flew out from the summoning array!
At such close range, even if Isis reacted quickly, she couldn't dodge in time. Even though she tried to twist her body away, the sword light still easily shredded the left side of her body, and her beating heart was crushed into pieces.
Isis's pupils dilated, and she staggered backward several steps. Large amounts of blood poured out, soaking the ground beneath her feet.
Lin Qiye's strike carried no power of laws, so naturally it couldn't take her life. But with the power of Ame-no-Murakumo, she also couldn't repair her body through life force.
"Crushed half her heart, yet still can't completely deprive her of mobility... This is the Life God?"
A flash of sword light cut open the thorned vines binding Lin Qiye. Covered in blood, he collapsed into the snow. His limbs were torn bloody by the thorns. He looked at Isis still stubbornly standing in the distance, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
After a moment, some light finally returned to Isis's eyes. She僵硬地低下头, looked at her half heart still struggling to beat, then turned her gaze to Lin Qiye, who lay severely wounded in the distance.
This mortal... was trading wounds with her?
What a madman.
Isis struggled to drag her body forward. Vines emerged from beneath her blue robe again,带着凛冽的杀机, rushing toward Lin Qiye collapsed in the snow once more.
Just as the vines flew through the air, a figure stepped凭空out, landing on the snowy ground.
In that instant, the漫天飘零的碎雪was frozen in place. The ferocious vines flying through the air凝固instantly, as if frozen in ice. Time seemed to have been paused at this moment. The howling blizzard and the distant rumbling explosions all disappeared.
Between heaven and earth,归于一片死寂.
Rustle——!
Light footsteps on snow sounded. A figure draped in a gray cloak slowly walked out from the suspended drifting snow.
Beneath pale white hair, a pair of experienced eyes narrowed slightly. He gazed at the blue-robed figure, his满是皱纹的手掌resting on the white blade hilt at his waist.
Clang——!!
A blade light reaching the extreme speed magnified rapidly in the wind and snow. It instantly shattered all the vines in mid-air, engulfing the remaining half of the blue-robed woman's body as well.
Time resumed flowing. Falling snow descended from the sky. In Lin Qiye's eyes, Isis's shattered falling form was clearly reflected.
