Chapter 709: 652 basis points Four (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Lu and 19th of June)

On the other side, just after Li Chengyi returned home, Gong Shanheng, carrying a blue artifact fish, also returned home to tell his father about it, without mentioning that his father planned to visit Gong Shanqinyang with gifts.

He himself took the blue artifact fish to the back kitchen.

"Master Huang! Is the blue artifact fish from yesterday dealt with yet? We should be able to eat it today, right?? I want to bring it to my brother," the chubby boy loudly said as he entered the kitchen holding the fish.

But there was no response from the back kitchen; Master Huang and two kitchen helpers just stood there, staring at the sink, motionless.

"Master Huang?" The chubby boy was puzzled and quickly approached.

"Young Master Heng... where exactly did you get this fish??" Before he got close, he heard Master Huang’s trembling voice asking.

"Where did I get it? It just floated up from the Blue Sea," the chubby boy replied, somewhat confused. Where else would a sea fish come from if not the sea? Did this even need to be asked?

Master Huang shook his head and stepped aside to reveal the sink in front of him.

In the gray-black metal sink, what caught the chubby boy’s eye was a large fish with a dark body, the same size as the blue artifact fish in his hand.

"What is this??" He was stunned, feeling a wave of chill coming over him.

Then he saw that the water around the big fish was filled with floating ice chips.

"This is the blue artifact fish we brought back yesterday. We... we definitely killed it, cut it into pieces, and put it into the ice cellar... But when we checked this morning, not only had it revived on its own, but it had also turned black all over..." Master Huang pointed to the water basin around the blue artifact fish.

"And now, this fish automatically absorbs the heat from anything it touches..."

"This..." The chubby boy was also stunned. What kind of monster was this? A blue artifact fish that had died was alive again??

Spurt!

Suddenly, both the blue artifact fish in the basin and the one in the net in his arms violently thrashed.

Driven by immense force, the four people nearby were startled and quickly pushed away. At the same time, their True Yuan surfaced, protecting their bodies.

Spurt.

Master Huang raised his knife and cut one of the blue artifact fish in half.

But to no avail, the two halves of the fish fell to the ground and rapidly pulled themselves together, reassembling into the original black fish form.

Reacting quickly, a kitchen helper picked up a small clay stove used for stewing soup and abruptly covered the black fish with it.

The sound of sizzling meat emitted, accompanied by a strong burnt aroma.

Bang!

The small stove burst open, and the black fish rushed out again, unharmed, with the burnt parts on its body disappearing rapidly.

For a while, the four were chased by the two blue artifact fish all over the kitchen.

No matter if they cut with knives, slashed with swords, or chopped with axes, all methods were tried, and the fish had no reaction at all; even when broken into pieces, they could reassemble themselves.

Not only that, they also viciously attacked the people around them. One bit off a large chunk of flesh from a kitchen helper’s arm.

This fiasco continued for over an hour until the chubby boy’s father returned and instantly cut the fish into powder-like small pieces, packed them up, and everything finally calmed down.

More than ten walls away from Gong Shanheng’s home.

Li Chengyi sat quietly cross-legged on his bed.

It was a dark and windy night outside, with the sea wind howling.

He slowly closed his eyes and once again entered the Lifeforce Dimension.

A vision composed of countless light red threads appeared in his mind. But what he paid attention to were not these threads but the fish from which he had torn the lifeline, and Gong Shanpingqiu.

Oddly enough, he had a clear sense of every individual whose lifeline he had torn.

He knew where they were, and he knew their status.

’Interesting... Lifeline severance seems not to be as I imagined... not complete death...’

Li Chengyi raised his head, his eyes as if piercing through the thick walls, and saw the courtyard belonging to Gong Shanpingqiu.

At that moment, Gong Shanpingqiu was meditating in his own room, with True Yuan emitting a yellow glow from his body, circulating throughout him.

Next to him, a man with gray-white hair was also meditating, acting as his protector; it was his father, Gong Shanding.

As he meditated, Gong Shanpingqiu suddenly shuddered, and the yellow glow of his True Yuan quickly darkened and weakened.

"Pingqiu?" Gong Shanding opened his eyes in confusion, looking toward his son.

But there was no response; Gong Shanpingqiu still maintained the meditative posture, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

"Son?" Gong Shanding’s brows furrowed slightly, and he reached out to touch the other.

Spurt.

Suddenly, Gong Shanpingqiu opened his eyes, bloodshot and full.

"Father... I... feel terrible...!!" He said with difficulty.

The exposed skin on his body was rapidly turning gray.

"What’s happening!?" Gong Shanding was alarmed, pressing his hand on his son’s forehead, preparing to check.

Crack.

In an instant, the son grabbed his wrist. The pained expression on his face quickly vanished, replaced by an icy, expressionless one.

An extremely cold aura traveled up his wrist into his body.

Gong Shanding grew even more panicked.

With a surge of force, his golden True Yuan shone like the sun, as blinding as ever, ready to forcibly infuse into his son’s head and throughout his body, to control his son’s movements.

But strangely enough, Gong Shanpingqiu’s body also erupted with yellow True Yuan which quickly turned to a gray-black color, emitting ominous black vapors, and the strength surged to at least more than double what it was before.

A powerful collision of True Yuan broke out between father and son, and the gray-black True Yuan was forcibly shattered.

Gong Shanpingqiu, without uttering a word, got up and bit towards his father’s neck.

"Pingqiu! What’s wrong with you!?"

Gong Shanding yelled, holding down his son with one hand, his Gold Jade level internal strength ensuring he wasn’t overly burdened. But the problem was, this was his son!

The concern for his son’s body was the greatest panic at this moment.
