Chapter 452: Chapter 139: The Dismemberment of Five Horses, Chi You Dies! (Part 1)

The battle had settled, and the Zulu Field seemed to have returned to tranquility.

If not for the corpses strewn everywhere and the marshland completely dyed red with blood, who could imagine that this peaceful Zulu Field was actually the terrifying Blood Prison Battlefield?

Bound tightly, Chi You with his eyes bloodshot, was staring fiercely at Xuanyuan, panting heavily from his gaping mouth.

Xuanyuan, looking at what seemed like a clear-minded Chi You, said coldly, "Chi You, you’ve incited tribal grudges and ignited rebellion. What’s worse, you even wanted to call forth the Witch Tribe to dominate Huaxia Heaven and Earth once again. Today, I, Xuanyuan, in the name of the Human Emperor, sentence you to beheading!"

With that, a robust executioner with an ax in the background came forward to perform the execution, his ax glinting coldly.

Xuanyuan, seated in his chariot, swept an emotionless gaze over the executioner and commanded, "Carry out the execution!"

"Hi!"

The executioner was not a mere commoner, possessing the Cultivation of a Golden Immortal. Upon his loud shout, the massive ax in his hand swung ferociously towards Chi You’s neck.

The hefty ax shimmered with an unusual glow, splitting the Void with a "crack crack" sound.

"Clang!"

A loud noise echoed; the ax in the executioner’s grasp had snapped into pieces. Yet Chi You’s neck was flickering with golden light, not the slightest harm done.

Xuanyuan frowned and ordered, "Switch to the Mountain Splitting Axe!"

"Clang!"

"Switch to the Mountain Drilling Spear!"

"Clang!"

...

Nearly all Human Clan’s existing weapons and Spiritual Treasures were tried, including the Xuanyuan Sword specially meant for slaying the Witch Tribe, but still Chi You could not be killed.

This Xuanyuan Sword happens to have a unique feature that restricted its function. It is said that although the Xuanyuan Sword can slay the Witch Tribe, it can only automatically activate its witch-slaying property when Chi You still possesses Cultivation.

The last Binding Spell by Li Qingming had precisely sealed off Chi You’s Cultivation, and if one wishes to kill with the Xuanyuan Sword, the bindings must be undone. The Saints could easily capture Chi You, but Xuanyuan could not accomplish that.

Hence, there’s absolutely no question of untying the ropes!

Thus said, after all, Chi You possesses the body of an Ancient Great Witch, his flesh as tough as copper and bones as strong as iron, nearly impossible to be killed from the outside, leaving Xuanyuan somewhat at a loss.

With no alternative, Xuanyuan had to temporarily confine Chi You, to discuss with his ministers later for another approach to deal with him.

The Zulu Field, Chen Capital Camp.

After hastily cleaning the battlefield, it was already three days later.

In the Central Army Tent, Xuanyuan looked majestically at his ministers below and said, "My Chen Capital has been at war with the Jiuli Clan for many years, and recently we finally crushed them, winning the hearts of the world! However, as you ministers surely understand, Chi You still has the body of a Great Witch. Although his Cultivation is sealed by the Holy Father, he remains as tough as iron, difficult to kill by ordinary means. I, Xuanyuan, am helpless; I implore you, my ministers, to propose a method to kill Chi You!"

The tent fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Feng Hou stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the Witch Tribe has boasted immortality of flesh. Since Chi You’s Great Witch Body is difficult to destroy, why not change from execution to Sealing? This would not only illustrate Your Majesty’s magnanimity but also earn a favor from the Witch Tribe, why not do it?"

No sooner had Feng Hou finished speaking, than Jiang Ke jumped out and said, "No, absolutely not! Chi You joined forces with the Four Extremes Barbarians to slaughter our Human Clan. If we do not kill this traitor, our Human Clan will not rest easy! Your Majesty, I suggest, since ordinary means and Spiritual Treasures can’t kill Chi You, we should attack him with Spells!"

Ying Long, who had fought with Chi You, eyes slightly lit up, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Emperor Yan’s suggestion is feasible! As long as the Spell is powerful enough, executing Chi You should not be a problem!"

Xuanyuan exclaimed with joy, "Is Fellow Daoist truly confident?"

Ying Long gave a slight nod, "Indeed!"

"Good, let us proceed to execute this scoundrel!" Xuanyuan abruptly stood up, taking the lead towards the place where Chi You was imprisoned.

To the north of the Zulu Field lay a natural cave. Its interior was entirely made of solid Nine Heavens Iron, covered by a mountainous pile of boulders on the outside. Even if Chi You was bound inside, let alone freeing his bindings, with his severely injured body, he would not dream of escaping from this place.

Moving the small tower-shaped Spiritual Treasure that was blocking the cave entrance, Xuanyuan stepped inside.

After traveling several miles underwater, although Chi You’s figure was not yet seen, Xuanyuan could faintly hear wild, furious roars coming from inside: "Hahaha, Xuanyuan lad, do you think you can destroy my Great Witch Body like this? Dream on!"

Xuanyuan continued forward with indifference, not concerning himself with the empty defiance of a dying man.

Upon bringing Chi You out from the cave, Xuanyuan turned to Ying Long behind him and said, "Fellow Daoist, please cast your Spell!"

Ying Long gave a slight nod, his palm shimmering with golden light, and suddenly struck towards the sky.

In an instant, the Heavenly Vault was covered with dark clouds, with rolling thunder incessantly reverberating.

"Boom!"

The thunderclap was deafening, and lightning fell from the high heavens like dragons, striking directly at Chi You. The strength of the thunder was extremely fierce, causing even the earth and distant mountains to tremble.

The golden light circulated, and the dazzling Tao Runes once again emerged as they did before. These runes seemed as if branded into Chi You’s very bones, always appearing at the first hint of danger, protecting him from the disasters of the outside world.

The first Heavenly Thunder dissipated without effect.

"Darn it, I didn’t expect the Great Witch Body to be so tough!" Ying Long’s eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as he spat out a mouthful of slightly golden blood, using the blood to form a rune and guiding it with True Yuan into the Cangqiong.

"Boom!"

Heavenly Tribulation is terrifying, turning into a vast ocean that overwhelms the heavens, boundless and infinite, cascading down.

"Zap!"

Thunder and lightning continuously bombard Chi You.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound is heard, and at last, the Tao Rune light shield on the outer layer of Chi You’s skin completely shatters.

"It’s working!" Xuanyuan’s eyes brighten as he urges, "Fellow Daoist, cast your spell quickly, increase its power!"

Ying Long chuckles, continuously making Finger Decrees, and says, "Your Majesty, no need to fret. Now that his turtle shell has been broken, Chi You is bound to be unable to escape his doom!"

Thousands upon thousands of thunder and lightning bolts descend from the sky, like the Milky Way tearing through Cangqiong.

"Ah!"

Chi You wails non-stop, his whole body trembling in agony as he screams, mingling with all the resentment in his heart as he curses, "Ji Xuan Yuan, Ying Long, you better not let me escape alive! Otherwise, I will pursue endless vengeance against your Human Clan and Dragon Clan! Ah!"

Ying Long’s face suddenly turns ashen, continuously exerting True Essence Power.

Heavenly Thunder rages wildly, Cangqiong roars furiously. The Heavenly Tribulation persists, and even as the sun sets in the west, the heavens above are still rolling with Heavenly Thunder.

Although the Dragon Clan is known as the Water Control Heavenly God, mastery of Thunder Law is also a must. After such a long time of relentless Heavenly Thunder striking until now, it’s unbelievable that Chi You’s life has not yet been taken.

He seems like an indestructible cockroach, with an extremely resilient vitality, living up to the saying "where there’s life, there’s incessant cursing."

This causes Ying Long some loss of face. Thinking himself a mighty Quasi-Saint, he has exhausted all his might to deploy Thunder Skill, yet he cannot take the life of a man without any Cultivation? Despite the fact that he possesses the body of a Great Witch from Human Clan.

Xuanyuan looks at the helpless Ying Long beside him and asks, "Fellow Daoist, is there any other method?"

Ying Long, somewhat embarrassed, waves his hand and says, "My Dragon Clan are the Water Control Heavenly Gods! Aside from controlling water and thunder, I’m not really adept at anything else; it seems I have disappointed Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, may I give it a try?" Ling Chen, looking at Chi You who, despite being bruised and battered, still had the energy to curse, asks calmly.

"This... Alright!" Xuanyuan ponders for a moment and nods his head.

He is desperate at this point. Although Ling Chen is a disciple of Fuxi Holy Emperor, he has shown no outstanding qualities. But since Ling Chen has offered, letting him try is not out of the question.

Ling Chen understands what Xuanyuan is thinking, but the him now is long different from before. His many years of keeping a low profile have honed his temperament to be more than just steady.

"Boom!"

Ling Chen opens his palm, and immediately, an extremely faint grey flame ignites in his palm. As the flames appear, the space within dozens of miles around suddenly becomes arid.

Chi You’s eyes flash with mockery as he laughs wildly, "Hahaha, this is too funny! Do you think you’ll take my life with just a tiny flame? Or... erk..."

The laughter stops abruptly.

"Go!" Ling Chen shouts lowly, the flame leaves his hand, and with visible velocity, it starts to expand rapidly, soon growing over a hundred zhang high, enclosing Chi You within it.

"Crackle!"

The grey flame grows more fierce.

"Boom!"

A blazing wave of heat assaults the face, the hundred-zhang-tall grey flame burns around Chi You, emitting "crackle" sounds, turning the dark Cangqiong into a grey hue.

Staring at the flames ahead, Xuanyuan feels his hair stand on end, his heart unsettled!

The grey flames make him feel overwhelmed, and he can imagine the indescribable agony Chi You must be enduring beneath those flames.

"Ah!"

Despite being in agony, Chi You still emits a faint life force.

"Sigh!" With the Moon on the Branch, Ling Chen waves his hand to retract the fire, sighing, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being powerless!"

"This..." Xuanyuan stares at the several hundred-zhang-tall charred remains in front of him, blackened, yet still with life force.

Now Xuanyuan is in disarray, pacing back and forth with great anxiety.

The surrounding ministers also feel agitated, wanting to speak but unable to find solutions. Thus, they remain silent, and within the empty space of several li, only Chi You’s faint groaning echoes back and forth.

Just then, the Heavenly Vault above flickers with green light, and a huge object falls from Cangqiong. Following it, a cool voice says:

"In South Sea Liubo Mountain, there resides a creature named Kui Niu, whose roar is like a dragon, quelling all beasts in all directions! This War Drum is made from the skin of Kui Niu, and its bones make the Drum Hammer. When executing punishment, hit this drum to break Chi You’s Great Witch True Body, then use the divine Dragon Horse to bind his head and limbs. With forceful wrath, he can be slain!"

Filled with joy upon hearing this, Xuanyuan kneels towards the direction of East Sea Penglai Island and bows respectfully, "Xuanyuan thanks Holy Father!"(To be continued.
