422: Chapter 392: A Myriad of Martial Skills, This is Fairy Orbital Bombardment (4/4) 422: Chapter 392: A Myriad of Martial Skills, This is Fairy Orbital Bombardment (4/4) Multiple voices overlapped, and Ian, after a moment of stunned realization, immediately understood that this was a spirit energy communication from those three children.

He wasn’t too surprised, but immediately countered, “People entwined with chains of emotion won’t feel restrained; you just think you haven’t been manipulated——even your spirit energy might have been deliberately catalyzed by others.”

“And Baron Leyan is exactly the one cooperating with those people, using you and his ‘Chosen One offspring’ for experiments…”

Wait…

The Chosen One…

At that moment, Ian suddenly had an epiphany, beginning to understand why it was Baron Leyan, and why a noble lady and a child of the Chosen One would so coincidentally encounter such a disaster…

If one were to say that from the beginning, from the very start, there had been no accidents at all…

But the spirit energy communication interrupted his train of thought.

[Sorry, big brother, who said it was us being manipulated?]

The voices of Ian, Moqiu, and Linda were calm yet tinged with laughter; their maturity far exceeded that of ordinary children, especially Ian, whose wit and sharpness far surpassed Ian’s imagination after reading through a vast number of ordinary people’s memories and life experiences.

Even the degree of their danger was the same.

[Big brother, you are a Prophet, and you should know that seeing some aspects of the future is enough to alter the present self.

Spirit energy is the same, possessing it will transform one’s thinking——even a single possibility is enough to lead Humans into the Abyss]

Ian’s voice took the lead: [Perhaps our spirit energy was guided by someone.

But everything that follows is our own choice——those strange men in black, why do you think we didn’t notice them?]

[And why do you think that father suddenly started his plan early today just to guard against you alone, rather than it being beyond the expectations of those mysterious people…

and forcing father to kill us sooner, accelerating the birth of our brother?]

His voice was filled with pure mirth: [Big brother, you’re very smart, the smartest and most talented person I’ve ever seen, and you’ve also hidden most of your strength, playing games with father, just to test if those men in black are around, right?]

[Nope, they’ve gone to take care of another very important matter in Nauman City, even if you hadn’t come, we would have made father start his plan sooner]

Ian’s eyes widened, and even as he was blocking Baron Leyan’s attacks, he suddenly felt a chill.

“Wait!” he said in disbelief, “Are you saying that it was you…”

[Haha, we sensed your emotional turmoil; did you figure it out so quickly?

Indeed, with father’s abilities, you’d just play him like a fiddle]

The children laughed joyfully: [But you’re too kind and hold too much goodwill towards us who appear to be young children]

Their voices gradually became a hollow and distant chorus, just like the sound emitted by Baron Leyan before: [It was us——it was us who made father make such a choice, why did you think a foolish man, who genuinely loves three weird, flawed, and dangerous children, would personally kill his own three children after already losing one?]

[It was too difficult, father was about to break free from the suggestion we jointly wove, even so, he was still trying his hardest to invite you to kill him…

Only with his death, could we survive]

[But we just wanted to die, we hoped dad could live with our brother]

[That’s our wish, without strong bodies, we could only use spirit energy to fulfill our wish]

[We’re sorry to dad, but we’ll give him a brother——this is the gift the three of us together are giving him, we hope he can be happy!]

Ian looked down, startled; in the clearing of the valley, the three children in the cultivation tanks were all smiling at him, their eyes twinkling with a dazzling display of spirit energy.

As for Baron Leyan on the side, he had stopped in his tracks, painfully holding his head, clearly already in disorder.

“You want to die——and you want Baron Leyan to kill you by his own hands?!”

He was more than incredulous; Ian was clever, but he had never considered this possibility: “You still love Baron Leyan, but isn’t this torturing him with the greatest pain?!”

[Sorry, we really don’t quite understand what love and pain are, the two seem to be the same]

The children’s voices carried genuine puzzlement: [Isn’t it precisely because of love that one feels pain?

So the more pain, the more love?]

[Anyway, this is what we want——how strange, wouldn’t people want to be themselves, to want to survive, why is it a bad thing?]

[Look at those uncles and aunts who cultivate flower seas, they also don’t want to be themselves, sometimes they also don’t want to survive, although they think they’re happy in Leyan Territory, we sometimes feel very happy living with dad too]

[It’s not contradictory]

——Madness, the whole family is insane!

This was Ian’s stunned conclusion.

And yet…

he couldn’t blame them.

It was this kind of rational madness, this unhesitant possession and determination, this extreme desire…

that made spirit energy strong!

Although Ian sensed a hint of doubt, and the taste of lies, for the most part, even if there were discrepancies in the details, like with Baron Leyan and the children all considering themselves to be the primary doers of evil, certainly one side was lying or being neglected…

but these were mere trivia.

He didn’t care about those little things.

“Perhaps I’m wrong, perhaps it is indeed your influence that led the Baron to such a crazy act—but what I have to do remains the same.”

Ian firmly conveyed to the children, “Ian, you must die.

And Moqiu and Linda, you all must die.

I was originally thinking of killing Baron Leyan then finding a way to hand you over to Huai Guang Church…”

“But now, your danger level has exceeded the normal range.

I’m very sorry.”

[Thank you]

Upon hearing Ian’s resolute words, the children actually began to feel happy: “Your kindness and love may be hidden beneath the blade, but they still make us yearn—if this is your way of loving, you might be the person who loves us the most, second only to Father.”

“Big brother, if you truly want what’s best for us”

At that moment, Ian could almost hear the same tone from the Baron as before, the chorus of children’s voices said without hesitation: “Come and stop us!”

“Come kill us!”

“Fulfill our wish!”

Ian didn’t reply to this statement.

.

After that, he stopped speaking.

At this instant, he completely disregarded Baron Leyan, who had just recovered from extreme confusion below, and locked his gaze on the region where the three Spirit Energy children and the Vengeful Spirit were located, preparing to launch an attack.

But before that could happen, the Frost Comet Skeleton behind him began to emit cold air more rapidly, pulling the youth’s figure even higher.

Up into the sky hundreds of meters above.

“Aaaahhhh!!!!”

At that moment, it was not Ian, nor Yila and the others, who was in the most pain; it was Baron Leyan.

He was unaware of his children’s conversation with Ian, but he felt as though something was missing from his heart, a very large piece, and he couldn’t figure out what it was, but he wanted to scream, wanted to roar, as if despite the pouring rain, he was still parched with thirst, feeling something volcanic churning within him, yet unable to release it.

He forcibly drove the Armor-Piercing Long Spike into the ground, explosive shockwaves radiating out in all directions; visible ripples of air lifted waves of stone and debris, flung with enough speed to pierce through tree bark and wood.

“Ian, what are you doing?

Why are you flying up in the sky?

Come kill me!”

He looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he roared at the youth transforming into a silver arc soaring towards the sky, shockwaves released in a fan-shaped area in front of him, creating a terrifying gust that blew away all the rainwater and topsoil.

The Rockwood Whitestag’s three strongest abilities were control over plants, the ‘Dense Forest Blood’ that greatly enhanced Vitality, and the ‘Rock Gold Bones’ which bolstered the skeleton and muscles, enabling explosive power, along with the ‘Vibration Sac’ that could create explosive impacts out of thin air.

Baron Leyan specialized in Rock Gold Bones and Shockwave Bag, while Dense Forest Blood involved higher levels of evolution that he had yet to fully grasp.

But as streams of air began to emanate from the man, with a sturdy horn forming on his forehead, various vines and bushes around seemed as though catalyzed and began to grow rapidly.

And to this, Ian only had a deep sigh.

Then, amidst the torrential downpour and ceaseless gales, he raised his Coldlight Longsword.

The Fairy Wings and Frost Comet Skeleton rapidly spewed out high-density cold air, but that was far from enough—the youth opened the potion belt at his waist, crushing two bottles of light blue reagent.

Instantly, hundreds of expanding frost mists appeared in the high sky, these mists spreading out in all directions, encasing almost all the rainwater in midair.

But that wasn’t all!

The Minor Abyssal Jade gathered the surrounding rainwater towards the frost, forming a funnel-shaped zone of water accumulation in midair, and right at the bottom of this zone, a semi-transparent sharp Ice Cone was rapidly enlarging!

In the dark night sky, an ice-blue star emerged, shining brilliantly and dazzlingly amidst flashes of lightning!

“Madman, madman—but good!”

Baron Leyan watched Ian’s actions in midair, utterly baffled as to where such a youth got so much Origin Quality, which he himself definitely couldn’t match.

—It must be the power of the potions, he thought, half his face twisted in furious rage yet half revealing an admiring smile: “Come on!”

At that very moment, earth and stone once again converged around him, the Rocky Horn Cannon reassembled, and as the three Spirit Energy children closed their eyes, invisible forces began to coalesce around the Baron.

Even the Vengeful Spirit in the middle, whom Ian felt slight trepidation towards, revived due to the impassioned emotions of his own father and sisters.

The ghostly blue Vengeful Spirit lifted its head, looked at the Baron, then up into the sky.

Then it rose, turning into a blue luminescent shadow, leaving the body that was almost fully formed to merge with its father’s.

The Spirit Energy arms returned, the invisible force making him even more agitated, his figure disappearing amidst the gathering rocks and vines!

This time, the projectile to be fired by the Rocky Horn Cannon would be the man himself!

And just at that moment.

High above in the sky, Ian was ready.

And following that was the fall of a star!

—All manner of martial arts culminated in Fairy Orbital Bombardment!

At the same time, the Rocky Horn Cannon transformed into Baron Leyan fired amid violent shaking!

The terrifying energy stored in the Shockwave Bag gathered in a burst under the man’s beyond-norm performance, followed by coalescence, pressurization, and rapid expansion and explosion!

A dense burst of Origin Quality shot out, aligning in a straight trajectory towards the plummeting Ice Cone!

The ice-blue Ice Cone fell as the Rock Gold Cannonball rose.

Then they collided!
