Narrow Escape from Death
He used Blood Escape to carry another vice president, Eight Heavens Freedom, and his trump card came at a great cost, which was death, resetting the level to zero.
Because his trump card was self-detonation.
With these two acting, one vanishing instantly beside him, the other self-detonating in coordination, even the beta testers couldn’t fail.
Unfortunately, it still failed.
The other side actually possessed a super first-class martial art, Golden Bell Shield? It seemed even more mysterious? But hadn’t reached Perfection.
Nine Heavens Sword understood, after all, Eight Heavens Freedom was just a Hundred Level mortal, the position after Blood Escape could be hard to pinpoint, and self-detonation required reaction time.
That instant delay was crucial, otherwise the opponent’s Golden Bell Shield’s automatic protection wouldn’t have made it in time.
But ultimately, he was bound to die.
At the dantian, the dim and transparent Golden Bell Rune flickered faintly, seemingly powerless.
Small Knife had just become aware.
Immediately, a chain suddenly shot up from the ground, entangling Small Knife’s body, making him instantly fall to the ground as if he had lost connectivity.
He couldn’t move, not because he was paralyzed but because the areas wrapped by the rope lost all sensation, as if his body was no longer his own. How could he move when he couldn’t feel?
Immediately, Nine Heavens Sword rushed up swiftly.
This was fine too, the body intact, then part of the power of the Spiritual Object could be extracted using the ancestral method.
This was hope, and he held a special dagger in his hand.
For this hope, he was willing to pay any price.
The Binding Mortal Rope took effect, which also confirmed his original judgment.
Indeed, still a mortal, otherwise, he couldn’t have accepted this task.
That flying ship must have been driven by other means.
Even with the moment in hand, this vice president who had been beside the president, remaining still, Eight Days of Leisure finally acted.
Indeed an old hand, at this point completely regardless of the cost, for the sole purpose of not allowing a single mistake.
So, even with victory in sight, Eight Days of Leisure still acted, again using his trump card.
Even if the target couldn’t move and seemed to have lost power, he did not hesitate.
Eight Days of Leisure’s neck cracked open, a light shot out from his spine.
It streaked across the sky.
Instantly, it was in front of Small Knife.
If Little Cultivator were alive, they would recognize that this was indeed a top-grade talisman.
In Little Cultivator’s eyes, an upper-grade talisman was nothing.
Among mortals, those with high status and powerful innate abilities, all possessed treasures weapon.
Even the strongest upper-grade talisman with nine runes was still at the mortal level.
But top-grade was different.
Top-grade could evolve into a magical artifact, a treasure that only an Immortal Master could use.
Some Immortal Masters could use them; not every Immortal Master had such an artifact.
Therefore, once a top-grade talisman is exposed, even in a mortal’s hands, or in the hands of a weak, background-less Immortal Master, it would be seized and looted.
So, top-grade talismans are also called half-step magical artifacts, half-step transcendence, pre-entry.
Likewise, top-grade talismans already have a few parts of the power of a magical artifact.
This Eight Days of Leisure had the means, also ruthless, to actually nourish a top-grade talisman within his spine.
Could a mortal body contain a top-grade magical artifact?
Obviously, this weapon was also obtained from killing Immortal Masters because without being an Immortal Master, no matter how adept you are, you can’t upgrade an upper-grade talisman to top-grade.
That not only requires the upper-grade talisman to have this potential but also requires an Immortal Master’s sacrifice.
So, Nine Heavens Sword lunged towards Small Knife, but a sword light caught up from behind and crossed Nine Heavens Sword, reaching Small Knife, aiming for his head.
Under an overwhelming sense of peril, the illusory Golden Bell Shield within the dantian trembled, the innate companion treasure not subject to the Binding Mortal Rope’s restriction, but the severely damaged glowing lines flashed faintly, helpless.
The point of the sword was near Small Knife’s neck, yet he remained immobile.
Life and death in an instant.
The blood mist from the self-detonation was just beginning to dissipate.
Cries of alarm rang out; everything had happened so swiftly, only then did those inside the Witch Residence realize.
The door opened, and everyone rushed out frantically.
But it was already too late.
However, Small Knife’s belly slightly quivered, a patterned Black Bone appeared in front of his belly.
Great Witch Artifact, Spirit-Breaking Bone Spike!
His belly thrust forward, activating the Great Witch Artifact.
In an instant, the Black Bone shattered, a spike emanating black energy and accompanied by the sound of wailing ghosts and howling wolves, blocked the incoming light.
The reason was simple; the Sunflower Water Spirit Liquid consumed earlier for healing was still circulating within Small Knife’s body, not entirely depleted, leaving even a bit unabsorbed.
Wherever this spiritual liquid flowed, part of the body’s senses returned, able to sense the presence of the stomach.
However, this Sunflower Water Spirit Liquid was originally for healing wounds, nourishing the body, purifying, detoxifying, whether injured or not, it consumed swiftly.
Therefore, Small Knife seized the moment when the spiritual liquid restored feeling to his belly.
Using his belly to activate the Great Witch Artifact?
Trying for the first time, a necessity, and it actually succeeded.
Afterwards, without a second thought.
His thoughts turned, and a second piece of Black Bone appeared on his belly.
Great Witch Artifact, Soul-devouring Vengeful Bone!
His belly bounced, the Great Witch Artifact shot towards the closing-in Nine Heavens Sword.
Following that, the third Great Witch Artifact appeared.
At this moment, between life and death, Small Knife spared no expense.
Unfortunately, before he could activate this third one, the last trace of Sunflower Water Spirit Liquid was consumed, or rather absorbed by the body.
Instantly, he couldn’t feel his stomach anymore.
Besides having thoughts, he couldn’t sense even a bit of his body’s existence.
