Chapter 825: Chapter 371: When Death Approaches, All Taboos Are Lifted

The light point collided with the golden arrow, unleashing energy that leveled the entire valley.

Carlos and Rein, observing from afar, were propelled by the shockwave, their liquid metal armor shattered to pieces, resulting in instant death.

As the dust settled, a suffocating scene was revealed.

The Laws Destruction Golden Arrow hung three inches from Ye Qingzhou’s heart, its body flickering with runes of destruction. Meanwhile, Ye Qingzhou’s Elemental Spirit Armor was slowly peeling away.

Crack~

Crack, crack~

First, a web-like crack appeared on his chest plate, then it spread across his whole body. A piece of armor leaf fell off, disintegrating into powder in the air. Then the second piece, the third piece...

Ye Qingzhou lowered his head, looking at his gradually breaking body, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Indeed..."

His voice began to float: "In this world... there ultimately is no... invincible sword..."

Before the last word fell, the Divine Sword Celestial Monarch Armor shattered with a crash.

The Laws Destruction Golden Arrow had completely pierced through Ye Qingzhou’s heart.

No blood.

The moment the arrowhead touched the skin, Ye Qingzhou’s flesh crumbled like a weather-beaten sand sculpture.

First the skin, then the muscles, the bones... finally even the Divine Spirit was ground by the runes on the arrow, transforming into glimmering starlight scattering across the world.

Infinite Sword Saint, fallen.

A thousand miles away, Hagrid’s Dragon Claw Hand exploded up to the shoulder, yet he laughed madly, kneeling on the ground: "Success! We’ve killed the Eastern Sword Saint!"

Herod collapsed within the rune array, bleeding from every orifice. Forcing the space-time passage had exacted a heavy toll, but a twisted smile hung on his lips: "History... has been rewritten..."

In the shattered valley, Liu Wuhen leaned against half a broken rock, just about to cheer.

However, Ye Qingzhou, who should have dispersed with the wind, forcefully altered his fate of death through plucking the strings of time.

Under the dazzling starlight, time reversed, space trembled, and Ye Qingzhou’s figure gradually pieced back together, yet the impaled Laws Destruction Golden Arrow could not be expelled from his body.

"Hmm?"

Blood continuously gushed from Ye Qingzhou’s chest, but it was of a bizarre dark gold color, rather than bright red.

The Laws Destruction Golden Arrow remained inserted in his heart, with ancient runes on the arrow body flickering ominously.

With each flicker, Ye Qingzhou felt an increment of his life force being extracted.

"Cough..."

He knelt on one knee, left hand supporting the scorched earth, the right hand tightly gripping the Infinite Sword, emitting a faint hum. Around him lay the ruins of a hundred miles, once lush forest now reduced to burning stumps and cracked earth.

The Path of Death laws raged within him, severing vitality.

The shadows of the Path of Darkness dragged at his soul, trying to pull him into eternal darkness.

"Even if I reversed time and space, can I not change the outcome of death?"

Ye Qingzhou opened the Celestial Eye, calculated slightly with the Xiangshu Thinking, realizing he wouldn’t survive past three days.

"Star Shift!"

He whispered lowly, left hand forming a seal, suddenly a sky full of stars lit up, arranging into a brilliant river.

Starlight poured down like a waterfall, enveloping his body.

Time around him became viscous, the flow slowing to one-tenth its original pace.

This was the divine technique he cast with his last strength, buying himself thirty days — after thirty days, death was still inevitable.

"Liu Wuhen..."

In Ye Qingzhou’s eyes burned a cold fury.

He slowly stood, chest’s golden arrow trembling slightly with the motion, bringing heart-wrenching pain.

Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes, sensing the residual energy in the heavens and earth.

Three hundred miles to the west, a powerful energy fluctuation was moving swiftly — it was the traitor Liu Wuhen.

"Can you escape?"

Ye Qingzhou sneered coldly, his figure transformed into a sword light, slicing through the sky in pursuit.

The Celestial Sword Bureau’s spy satellites captured this scene, relaying the image back to headquarters.

In the observation room, over a dozen senior analysts stared dumbfounded at the screen.

"He... he can still move? With both the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow and double Dao Laws, even a genuine God should die on the spot!"

An elderly man with white hair spoke in shock.

"Infinite Sword Saint... truly lives up to the name."

Director One-Eyed Nick’s face was grim: "Continue tracking, record all data. Such a battle, once in a millennium."

Ye Qingzhou did not care who watched him.

At this moment, only one thought consumed him, to slay the traitor before death arrived, to cleanse the sect.

Thus, the chase led both parties to the border of Dongji Kingdom, on a desolate wasteland, three figures swiftly moving.

"Damn! Why isn’t he dead yet?"

A middle-aged man in a blue robe glanced back, his face pale.

He was gaunt, with narrow eyes, one of Dongji Kingdom’s Five Elders of the Divine Gang Dao, known as Illusory Mirage Dragon, Liu Wuhen.

"Your intelligence was wrong, Liu Wuhen."

A blonde, blue-eyed western man beside him said coldly, draped in a red cloak, a tome held in his hand: "You said the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow could kill him instantly."

"Herod, shut up!"

The third person — a giant nearly three meters tall roared, skin covered in fine scales, with vertical pupils for eyes, "This is not the time for blame! He’s catching up!"

As if to confirm his words, a sword light streaked across the horizon like a meteor, falling within a hundred meters in front of the trio.

The sword light dissipated, revealing Ye Qingzhou’s figure.

"Liu Wuhen." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Ye Qingzhou’s voice eerily calm, "Offended me yet want to leave?"

Muscles on Liu Wuhen’s face twitched briefly, then he showed a bizarre smile: "Sword Saint Ye, Dongji Kingdom’s destiny is exhausted; defecting to the Western Pole Kingdom is the wise choice."
