Chapter 216 - 216 216 On the Brink of Death

216: Chapter 216: On the Brink of Death 216: Chapter 216: On the Brink of Death “My lord, are you alright?

I’ll take you away.” While everyone was fighting, Ji Qian, enduring severe pain, staggered to Selene’s side.

“Ji Qian, take this.” Selene’s face was pale; having been stealthily attacked by a sharp blade, the toxins were still spreading in her body.

Combined with a heavy blow from Hephesto, Selene was now breathing more out than in.

She handed the gem-encrusted Magic Wand to Ji Qian.

“No, I’ll heal you right now.” Tears uncontrollably flowed from Ji Qian’s eyes as she immediately channeled her Inner Strength into Selene, causing her to cough up blood again.

“No, this poison has severely depleted my Inner Strength, and I cannot escape.” Selene lamented, interrupting the flow of Inner Strength from Ji Qian and forcefully pushed the Magic Wand into her hands, “You and Hades, hurry and leave this place.”

“Ha ha, the gem-encrusted Magic Wand is mine now.” At this moment, Amy, who Ye Shikai had knocked unconscious earlier, woke up.

Seeing Selene and Ji Qian severely wounded, she once again attempted to stealth attack the two.

She seemed to have gone mad, frantically lunging for the wand.

“I will kill you.” Ji Qian, furious upon seeing Amy, blamed this traitor for Selene’s severe injuries and Hephesto’s opportunity along with Apollo’s attack.

Swearing to cleanse their ranks today, Ji Qian gathered her Inner Strength and met the attack with a palm strike.

“Ah.” Due to her earlier severe injuries and Amy’s deeper cultivation, Ji Qian was struck down by Amy’s attack.

“Hmph, I always said, you’re just a little girl not yet weaned, what makes you worthy of succeeding as Moon God.” Amy looked at Ji Qian with a sneer.

Before Ji Qian entered the Moon God Temple, Amy was already an elder.

Actually, the seeds of resentment in her heart had been planted long ago, only they hadn’t been discovered by anyone.

“Now, I will end you.” A fierce glint passed through Amy’s eyes, she gripped a broken blade in her hand and viciously stabbed towards Ji Qian.

At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed to the side.

“Hisss.” At the last moment, Selene suddenly appeared, jumping in front of Ji Qian, the blade piercing deeply into her abdomen, blood flowing freely.

With excruciating abdominal pain, she made a trade-off wound for wound, and with a loud shout, a silver light shot out from the Magic Wand, “Boom,” the silver light struck Amy’s chest, blasting her away with a gaping bloody hole.

Amy, dead.

“My lord.” Ji Qian held Selene in her arms; Selene was now barely hanging on, that last move having exhausted all her strength, and then getting stabbed by Amy.

Using her last bit of energy, Selene handed the Magic Wand over to Ji Qian, who this time, did not refuse.

When Ji Qian grasped the wand, there was no resistance, and Selene smiled with relief.

“Ji Qian, after I die, you will be the next Moon God.” Selene’s voice trembled, somewhat unclear, “In the future, you…

must personally…

kill Hephesto.”

Selene’s eyes flashed with an intense passion, and Ji Qian nodded through her tears.

“Fire God Spell—Fiery Fire.” The first time Hephesto faced Ye Shikai, he felt immense pressure.

Ye Shikai, like a ghostly shadow, disrupted Hephesto’s reactions and Ye Shikai hadn’t even used a Divine Artifact yet.

Forced into a corner, Hephesto had to use the Main God Skill to push Ye Shikai back.

Meanwhile, Ghost was having trouble; although Apollo wasn’t as strong as Hephesto, he was still a Main God and gradually gained the upper hand.

Taking out a Divine Artifact, Apollo constantly loosed arrows which kept Ghost barely coping.

Ji Qian gently caressed Selene’s body, her gaze somewhat vacant—it all happened so suddenly, as if she still hadn’t accepted Amy’s betrayal, nor the fact that Selene was dead.

“Idiot, how much longer do you plan to stay there?” At this moment, a shout broke Ji Qian’s reverie.

She looked at the man before her and slowly regained her senses.

Ji Qian gripped the gem-encrusted Magic Wand tightly, a flash of anger crossing her eyes as she furiously lunged at Hephesto, seeking revenge for Selene.

She, who had been too weak before, now had the credentials to fight; she was the Moon God.

“Another one not afraid of dying.” Hephesto stepped back several paces, dodging the magic wand’s attack.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qian could now wield a Main God’s Divine Artifact.

The previously fragile Ji Qian seemed like a madwoman, unrelentingly attacking Hephesto, determined to fight to the death.

Ji Qian’s cultivation was not profound, but the gem-encrusted Magic Wand was indeed immensely powerful, a Divine Artifact comparable to the Fire God Hammer.

Catching Hephesto off guard, he retreated step by step.

Even Ye Shikai was surprised—the Magic Wand in Ji Qian’s hands seemed to release even greater energy.

Together, they forced Hephesto back steadily.

“Hephesto, come support me quickly.” Seeing things turn sour, Hephesto turned and fled.

Three arrows shot directly at them, and Ji Qian, wielding her wand, blocked two arrows with its formidable energy, while Ye Shikai dodged the other.

The fire soared into the sky, especially in the forest, emitting dense smoke.

Taking advantage of the smoke, Hephesto escaped.

Ji Qian’s heart filled with rage and she immediately wanted to pursue, but was held back by Ye Shikai.

“He’s already escaped; you can’t catch him.” Ye Shikai spoke calmly, not expecting Ji Qian’s stubborn temper to flare up.

Despite Ye Shikai’s warning, she struggled to break free.

“Listen to me, with your strength, you can’t kill him, let alone avenge Selene.

You’ll only end up sacrificing yourself.” Ye Shikai gripped Ji Qian’s arm tightly, trying to calm her down, but she pulled out her wand and the released energy violently shook Ye Shikai off.

“Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for showing no mercy.” Ji Qian looked very agitated, holding her wand pointed at Ye Shikai.

“Be careful.” Suddenly, Ye Shikai swiftly stepped forward, embracing Ji Qian in his arms, which startled her, especially being suddenly held by someone of the opposite sex—if this were on a busy street, it would be considered lewd.

“Hisss.” A streak of golden light pierced directly toward Ye Shikai’s back, Apollo’s Main God Skill.

To protect Ji Qian from harm, Ye Shikai used his body to block it, the arrowhead piercing through his shoulder and emerging from the right side of his chest.

Ji Qian, witnessing this scene, was stupefied.

Ye Shikai had actually used his body to block Apollo’s Radiant Divine Arrow.
