Chapter 1021: I Cannot Die

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was a long period of silence in the communication channel.

Many of them were now used to killing. As they attacked the Black Feather Army soldiers in front of them, they listened to the sounds through the communication channel. Everyone wanted to know whether Cheng Qiuqiao would be fine.

When they discovered that Cheng Qiuqiao had the ability to control the air, they were very happy. This meant that the Rank One soldier would not be able to kill the civilians. They seemed to have figured out the softhearted quality of the Heavenly Network and wanted to target this weak spot.

They cheered because they were happy for Cheng Qiuqiao. The ability to control the air was amazing. If Cheng Qiuqiao could advance to Class A, there would be very few people who would be able to fight against him in the air. This was a decisive weapon against Class A’s. He would be able to control the air!

But it was too early for them to be happy. When Cheng Qiuqiao reported his current situation, they realized that the Rank One soldier had not been flying at a great height. It… was not enough to kill him.

Furthermore, Cheng Qiuqiao was a Rank Two. One could imagine the consequences when he faced a Rank One.

Chen Zuan’s expression behind his helmet was ferocious. His face was flushed. He felt as if there was something in his chest that he could not get rid of. It was as if he was going to lose something!

“Have you ever thought that you are a beast?”

“Brother Zuan, my family gave me a credit card to buy a car in Luo City. This way, it will be easier for me to find a partner…”

Chen Zuan felt rage ramming in all directions within his chest!

Suddenly, Chen Zuan turned back and ran towards where Cheng Qiuqiao was. Before long, he turned back and started to kill the black wave!

The flood of bronze could not collapse. If not, all the sacrifices made would be for nothing!

Now, he was not a student of the Luo Shen Cultivation College. He was a practitioner from the Heavenly Network and a soldier! He had a task that he had to complete!

Chen Zuan felt that he had to kill all the Black Feather Army soldiers in front of him!

The flood of bronze behind him suddenly realized that his aura was unstable. It was about to explode.

Their impression of Chen Zuan was that of a chubby and greedy boy who liked to eat and slack off. He was typically amiable and was even slightly annoying. He was influenced by Lu Shu.

But at this moment, Chen Zuan, like Chen Baili, made the members of the Heavenly Network calm. As long as this chubby boy was in front, the black wave would never be able to destroy the flood of bronze.

The flood of bronze went against the black wave and started to kill.

Many people knew that even if this was the case, they would not be able to save what they wanted to save.

Cheng Qiuqiao stared coldly at the Rank One soldier. The soldier brushed off the dust on his body and smiled. “What technique did you use? How were you able to make me lose my ability to fly?”

After one advanced to Rank One, their ability to fly depended on their resonance with the heaven and the earth. But when he heard the strange song, it was as if something had cut off the connection. They had even lost a bit of their resonance with the heaven and the earth.

But he knew that this was only temporary. He would be able to regain his ability to fly very quickly. But before that, he had to kill the chief culprit.

Cheng Qiuqiao laughed. “If you want to fight, then fight. What nonsense are you spouting? You’re like a girl.”

“Since you’re so desperate to die, I will help you achieve your aim. But I am very curious. Those civilians are just ants. Why are you so nervous about them?” The Rank One soldier laughed. It was as if he had everything in his hand. From the very beginning, he was not afraid that Cheng Qiuqiao would display his impressive ability to control the air. He did not pay much attention to him either.

Cheng Qiuqiao laughed again. “Nonsense. Once I’m done killing you, I’m planning to buy a car. Brother Zuan said that buying a car is like looking for a wife. You have to choose wisely.”

The Rank One soldier furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”

“That means that I cannot die!”

Everyone knew what the result would be. But the people from the Heavenly Network never gave up on any hope.

Tonight, that hope was an eternal light.

Liuhai Lane, the Capital. Shi Xuejin sat absentmindedly by the walnut tree. It had been reduced to a tree stump after it was chopped down by Nie Ting. A new shoot had grown from the tree stump.

Shi Xuejin had been sitting in the courtyard for a few months. Ever since the battle at Tiger’s Back, Shi Xuejin had entered a state of meditation.

Back then, Shi Xuejin had wanted to help Nie Ting find a way, but he could not do so. Thus, he started to doubt whether what he had learned was meaningful.

Would he be able to finish walking through this path?

No one disturbed him. Everyone was very worried, but knew that Heavenly King Shi had to walk this path.

The techniques that everyone learned had been researched on by Shi Xuejin. Who else would be able to help him?

This path was lonely. There was no route in front, and there was none behind him. Shi Xuejin walked on this narrow and winding road. He looked around and was at a loss. He did not know what was in front of him, nor did he know what was behind him.

But his intentions would not change.

Everyone knew that Shi Xuejin was an ordinary person. He read books and settled affairs for the Heavenly Network on a daily basis. He prepared food for Nie Ting, and then… there was nothing else.

The person sitting beneath the tree was usually holding a book or a bowl of millet gruel. His smile was bright. He was never angry.

But now, it was as if he had turned into stone. It seemed like even anger had been extinguished.

Hao Zhichao and the rest carried their backpacks and came to the courtyard. Before they left the Capital, they wanted to see whether Heavenly King Shi had awakened. They were going to the battlefield. They were unsure whether anything would happen to Heavenly King Shi here.

Just as they opened the door to the courtyard, they suddenly saw Shi Xuejin stand up and brush the dust off his body.

“You…” Hao Zhichao was bewildered. They did not expect Shi Xuejin to awaken now!

Shi Xuejin did not speak. He simply smiled.

At that moment, the new shoot on the tree stump rapidly grew into a large tree. But it was still not done. The walnut tree rapidly bloomed and produced fruit.

Flowers lined the roads in the Capital. In the distant mountains, red leaves covered the ground. In the sky, large snowflakes danced in the air.

It was as if all four seasons were occurring in the Capital.

Suddenly, the dark clouds started to form in the sky. There was the continuous roar of thunder. Hao Zhichao and the rest were dumbfounded. It was as if they had not reacted to what was happening.

Shi Xuejin brushed off the dust that had gathered on his body over the past few months. His body was thin as he had not eaten. However, he radiated power and vitality. He looked up at the thunderclouds and waved. He smiled. “Disperse.”

Thus, the divine punishment dispersed.
