Chapter 886: 281: Life Is the Source of All Power — Comprehending the Life Dao

Qian Kunzi is cunning and experienced. He seems to be able to sense Zhou Hong’s inner changes, using his transformed soul power to wrap around Zhao Rushuang and approach Zhou Hong. He wants to drag Zhou Hong down, not letting the Upper Alliance stay out of it.

Zhou Hong cursed inwardly at the cunning scheme.

Reluctantly preventing the two from approaching.

Duanmu Ci and Duan Zhou exchanged a glance.

Zhang Lingfeng killing Zhao Xu was simply too easy. Both of them believed it was impossible for them to accomplish.

They both understood in their hearts that they were no match for Zhang Lingfeng.

But with their strength at this realm, both had their own pride.

Even though Duanmu Ci knew he couldn’t defeat Zhang Lingfeng, he still wanted to see if Zhang Lingfeng could break his swordsmanship.

Duan Zhou is the elder brother of Duan Shumo.

But he wasn’t very close to Duan Shumo.

Being the second on the Heavenly List, he was excessively obsessed with cultivation, proud of his own strength, and even felt that Duan Shumo’s reputation was undeserved, exaggerated by the Alliance.

He came to find Zhang Lingfeng.

There were familial reasons, and also the manipulations of the Shen Family, but Duan Zhou knew clearly that his purpose in coming to the Black Water Star Realm was purely to kill Zhang Lingfeng.

Not for avenging Duan Shumo.

Nor for removing a thorn in the Duan Family’s side.

Gaining the recognition of the Shen Family to obtain the Third Major Cultivation System Dharma Gate was indeed important and was his goal, but deep in his heart, Duan Zhou’s reason for coming to the Black Water Star Realm was pure and simple—just to kill Zhang Lingfeng.

No complicated relationships.

Just simply wanting to kill Zhang Lingfeng.

Because he couldn’t tolerate anyone in the same realm being more outstanding than him.

He wanted to kill Zhang Lingfeng, and also wanted to kill Duanmu Ci, and if Duan Shumo were to surpass him in the same realm, he would want to kill Duan Shumo too.

He was just that kind of a pure person.

At this moment, realizing Zhang Lingfeng’s strength far exceeded his own, Duan Zhou felt intensely uncomfortable, and his desire to kill Zhang Lingfeng grew even stronger.

But he buried it in his heart.

Not wanting Zhang Lingfeng to notice it.

"I swear, one day, I will destroy Ancient Blue Star and destroy everything of yours."

Duan Zhou said to himself in his heart.

Then retreated behind Duanmu Ci.

Since he was no match for Zhang Lingfeng, it was pointless to continue fighting.

Admitting defeat was even more impossible, so he decided to withdraw directly to avoid being harassed by Zhang Lingfeng. Thinking of this, Duan Zhou moved in the direction of Mao Shusheng, wanting to avoid conflict with Zhang Lingfeng.

"You want to kill me."

"Destroy everything of mine?"

"Looking for death!"

Zhang Lingfeng was furious. He comprehended the Life Dao.

At this moment, Duan Zhou was on Ancient Blue Star, a life on Ancient Blue Star, restricted by the Ancient Blue Star Law Power. Zhang Lingfeng, as if he could read his mind, figured it out.

And he was also a very pure person.

He sought revenge on the spot, never dragging his feet.

So when Duan Zhou walked towards Mao Shusheng, Zhang Lingfeng urged his soul power again, applying the symbol 丿, using the soul power to drive the Ancient Blue Star Law Power, as if infused with the Life Dao, making this strike carry the most terrifying destructive power, rapidly sweeping towards Duan Zhou.

Duan Zhou was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng would strike at this moment. He hurriedly defended, but all defensive powers crumbled in front of Zhang Lingfeng’s attack.

The soul power transformed into saber technique penetrated his body, the sword aura seemed to have the power to devour everything, his flesh melted like ice and snow, even his Golden Core and Divine Soul quickly vanished.

He disappeared on the spot without a trace.

"Retreat!"

Duanmu Ci’s eyes widened.

Desperately launched himself outside of Ancient Blue Star.

Wanting to leave the Black Water Star Realm immediately, to get away from this place of trouble.

Duan Zhou’s fate made him realize that even if he sought refuge with the Upper Alliance, Zhang Lingfeng would not spare him. Only by swiftly leaving Ancient Blue Star and getting away from the Black Water Star Realm did he have a chance to survive.

Previously, he thought being first on the Heavenly List was an infinite glory.

At this moment, being first was a Life-taking Talisman.

It was the symbol he most wanted to discard. He wished he had never entered the Black Water Star Realm, never been on the Heavenly List, never achieved first place.

He turned into a point of light, disappearing across the starry sky, quickly freeing himself from Ancient Blue Star’s gravitational pull.

Zhang Lingfeng watched the rapidly disappearing point of light, and couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Duanmu Ci stood on Ancient Blue Star, and his thoughts echoed in Zhang Lingfeng’s mind. The other party had no intention of killing, only wanted to see how many swords he could wield, unlike Duan Zhou, who outwardly seemed indifferent but inwardly harbored dark thoughts, not only wanting to kill him but also to destroy the entire Ancient Blue Star. How could Zhang Lingfeng tolerate such a person?

In the end, Zhang Lingfeng watched Duanmu Ci disappear from his sight but did not trouble him.
