Master, This Poor Disciple Died Again Today

Chapter 491: Nobody Here Likes Anybody Else

Chapter 491: Nobody Here Likes Anybody Else

Hui poured death qi into the barrier, filling it from top to bottom. Death ducks swirled inside the barrier, flapping up against the walls.

Han Qin fell back. Gui Delun stepped forward. Gold light formed a halo around him, protecting him from the death ducks. Your attack is meaningless.

Without a physical link to him, I cant pour death qi directly into Gui Delun, and naturally, as an exorcist, Gui Delun has counters for death qi. That isnt going to work. Lets try life qi, then!

Retracting the death qi, Hui filled the space with life qi instead.

Gui Delun laughed. How kind of you to heal us!

Silently, Han Qin readied his attack.

Shit. Cant surge life qi into Gui Delun without letting Han Qin attack, but if Han Qin attacks, he might break directly through the barrier. I cant allow Han Qin to attack or waste death qi on Gui Delun. Hui furrowed his brows, then slapped both hands down on the barrier. Which means its time for both at once!

Death ducks swirled around the perimeter of the barrier, forcing Han Qin back. As Gui Delun stepped forward, Hui sent life qi in as well, specifically targeting him. Life qi poured from him to Gui Delun, smoothly passing from one to the other.

The thing about life qi is that the receiving body doesnt perceive it as an attack. Which means as long as I can hold onto it inside him, I might be able to wreak havoc with the natural balance of his body. Im no doctor, but messing with his internal organs and hormones should be a good start! Not to mention his brain or eyes. If I can make any major system go wonky, that should at least distract him, if not outright injure him.

Usually, I wouldnt be able to do much, but Im somewhat, kind of, temporarily seventh stage. Right now, Im almost kind of sort of as strong as him. Strong enough to be able to seriously affect him with my qi!

Gui Delun crossed his arms, looking up at him. What are you attempting to accomplish? Gaining my favor by healing me?

Ignoring him, Hui focused on his life qi. Send a portion of my consciousness in with a thread of life qi. Pierce into Gui Delun without dissolving, and destroy him from within!

Zhubi wound protectively around Hui, ready to defend him from any attacks.

Hui plunged his consciousness into his life qi and dove through the barrier. For a breath of time, he passed through empty space. Gui Deluns head flew toward him at speed.

Seconds before he struck Gui Deluns forehead, Gui Delun glanced up.

Oh shit! Did he realize my plan? Does he know Im coming? He

Hui smoothly entered Gui Deluns head. He mingled with the life qi hed already sent inside Gui Delun, the mass of it sitting just on the far side of the mans skull. Hui braced for an attack, but none came.

--he didnt realize? Did I get lucky?

No, no, Hui! Lets not be cocky. I have to assume he noticed me! In which case, I need to move even more carefully than before. Either that, or move in a way that even if he notices, theres nothing he can do about it.

But if he noticed, why didnt he immediately reject me? Or better, refuse the life qi entirely?

Hui paused for a moment, then shook his head. It doesnt matter. Whether he knows Im here or not, he may not be able to attack or defend immediately. In this momentary lull before he catches up, lets wreak as much damage as we can!

Tendrils of life qi suddenly burst from ahead of Hui, closing off the way ahead. Hui looked left, then right, then reached for his death qi.

Nothing came to hand.

Thats right! I forgot. I dont have death qi right now! I only drew my life qi into here!

Uhh I shit! Er

The life qi closed in on him. Hui flinched back, then fell backward, lying limp in Gui Deluns qi passages.

Im dead! Ignore me!

The life qi tendrils didnt hesitate a moment. They directly drilled into Huis body. Heat dug directly into Huis consciousness. His mind weakened, wavering.

Right, I forgot. Im a qi construct right now. If I died, Id simply wink out.

An image appeared in Huis vision. Gui Delun smirked down at him. What a trite ploy. Do you think no one has ever tried to attack me internally before? Pathetic child.

Dammit. I cant die here. Huis consciousness faded. His vision darkened. The qi construct trembled, growing blurrier and dimmer by the moment. Gui Deluns tendrils pierced through every part of him, burning him to pieces. Bits of him broke off.

Cant think

Dont kill him. Capture him. I need him, Han Qin said.

Gui Delun harrumphed. He raised a hand to his chest and gestured. A faded blot of light emerged from him, floating over his palm. He glanced at it, then handed it to Han Qin.

Han Qin took the light, covetously wrapping his hand over the light. He stepped forward, then halted. This barrier it isnt dissolving?

Talismans, Gui Delun explained.

Han Qin frowned. Hes so devoted to playing dead that he developed his entire set of techniques around attacks that would remain after he died, one way or another?

The man is entirely irrational. Gui Delun sat in the lotus position, closing his eyes to meditate.

Han Qin looked at the light in his hand, then frowned at Gui Delun. Is he really so easy to kill?

He made a mistake. Anyone can make a mistake, Gui Delun said.

Looking at the light, Han Qin glanced up at the enormous snake, then frowned deeper. His brows furrowed in faint suspicion. He peered closer at the light. He cant truly be dead. Not this easily.

Looking at the light one last time, he tucked it into the dimensional pouch at his hip for safekeeping. He frowned at the meditating Gui Delun, but shrugged to himself. It doesnt matter. Either hes alive and hell show himself, or hes dead and he wont. I can wait.

Ive already waited this long.
