Chapter 315: [249~250] Second Rank Extraordinary! Synthesis Again! (Requesting Monthly Pass)_3
 

“Pain… such pain…”

The voice of the young swordsman seemed to carry endless despair.

The ice that had originally clung to his body began to shatter under the influence of an invisible force.

Pei Jinye slowly rose to his feet, his gaze intense as he watched the scene unfold.

The Bloodthirsty Bead was slowly merging within the body of the young swordsman.

He didn’t know what was happening to the other.

But it was evident that the other’s vitality was rapidly soaring.

More noticeably, the flesh on the young swordsman’s body was constantly dissolving… if one looked closely, it was being absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Bead.

The light on the Bloodthirsty Bead grew increasingly luminous.

It was as if it had stored a great amount of vitality.

But what made Pei Jinye amazed and perplexed was that, even though the young swordsman had turned to a white bone body, the vitality stored within the Bloodthirsty Bead had only increased slightly.

So, just how great was the capacity of this Bloodthirsty Bead?

The eyes of Pei Jinye ignited with curiosity.

“Indeed, it is a fine treasure… though it’s a bit sinister.”

The young swordsman moved his white bone body, which made a grating sound like that of scraping steel.

A pair of blood-red eyes fixated on Pei Jinye.

The hoarse voice was like two stones grinding together.

“Although I don’t know what you’ve done to me, I must thank you… Right now.”

Even though the young swordsman couldn’t make any expressions, the joy and excitement in his tone were unmistakable.

“Right now, I feel a power that I have never experienced before!”

“As recompense, I will slowly shatter your bones, make you wish for death amidst endless torment…”

Before he could finish speaking.

Pei Jinye, expressionless, interrupted.

“Who gave you the courage? Miss Liang?”

He didn’t wait to see if the other understood his words.

With a clench of his fingers.

The space in front of him instantly froze, the explosion of five times the elemental power was incomparable to Gongsun Qianfeng’s original strength.

“Heh, let me show you my brand-new, supreme power…” The young swordsman’s tone was strange, although he didn’t understand what had happened to his body.

But his mind now contained many pieces of information.

All of these were far more powerful than any technique he had practiced over the past thirty years.

And what’s more mysterious—

He felt his Transcendent abilities… seemed to have mutated!

With a surge in strength, his confidence skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.

When he thought about what Pei Jinye had done to him, rage reignited within him, he reached out… and a long sword condensed from blood energy appeared in his hand.

He took a step forward, and the ground exploded.

Dragging the sword with both hands, he made a sweeping slash…

But just as his sword had halfway cleaved the air, the man before him hadn’t even taken a step, just casually uttered a single syllable.

“Condense!”

The young swordsman’s motion stalled.

Pei Jinye said again, “Shatter.”

The Technique Way of Spirit Symbol Ghost Mountain might be obscure and difficult, but his beginner’s realm was sufficient to deal with this overly confident fellow before him.

The young swordsman’s white bone body was forcefully shaken away, crashing against the ice wall behind him.

But he didn’t even have time to fall.

Pei Jinye flicked his finger downwards.

Suddenly, countless icy tendrils emerged on the ice wall, binding the young swordsman against it.

“Damn it!”

The young swordsman fumed with rage and humiliation.

But before he could take another step.

Pei Jinye continued to try using Gongsun Qianfeng’s techniques.

“Ice Prison Kill”!

Countless shards of ice fell like lightning, and though they were but individual pieces, their spinning descent sounded like roaring mountains.

An instant fluttering snowstorm engulfed the young swordsman within.

The sound of white bones shattering one after another.

“Crack!”

Three seconds later.

The young swordsman’s white bone body crashed to the ground, his lower half completely pulverized by the earlier storm, leaving only the upper body’s torso wriggling on the ground.

“Who… who are you exactly?”

The young swordsman was thoroughly terrified.

Such horrific ice elemental abilities, he had never heard of them before.

“Are you the man behind the Black Mountain Association?” he asked tremulously, “If I reveal the mastermind to you, can you spare me?”

Without saying a word, Pei Jinye was lifted by an ice dragon that had emerged beneath his feet, realistic enough to seem alive, as it carried him to the front of the young swordsman.

“Do you think I care?”

Pei Jinye’s words made the young swordsman stunned.

He very much wanted to ask, why don’t you care?

But the next moment.

A giant hand that formed in the air had already grasped him in its palm; despite the lack of flesh preventing him from feeling the cold, he was still inexplicably terrified and desperately struggled.

“The power that the Bloodthirsty Bead has given you… I’m very curious about it. I suppose you have a lot of questions in your heart right now, don’t you?”

In Pei Jinye’s vision.

The spiritual power of the young swordsman had rocketed from the prior 20 points to 25 points now, a rate of increase that intrigued him about the abilities of the Bloodthirsty Bead.

Considering the current situation, it seemed he’d completely underestimated the “Sealing Object’s” ability.

“I…” The young swordsman was hit right in the feels by Pei Jinye’s words; indeed, he had many questions now.

However, just when he thought Pei Jinye was going to explain to him, a hand suddenly pressed on his white bony head.

“Then die with your doubts.”

The consciousness of the young swordsman plunged abruptly into darkness.

The endless abyss wrapped around him like a tide.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear two words… “Into the dream!”

At the same time.

A flood of memories rushed towards Pei Jinye.

He remained composed.

A staggering 60 points of spiritual power, he received them without issue!
