Chapter 258 The Source Clan is Immortal

Hossin did not answer immediately.

"Haven't you thought about it?" Ling Yi said with a smile, "How can that be?"

"I've thought about it." Huo Xin looked at Ling Yi and said seriously, "Yi Yi, you can go anywhere you want, whether you're a descendant of gods, a demon, or a spirit."

"Once I get out, we'll go home."

Divine offspring, demons, spirits...

Their influence is quite extensive.

Ling placed her hand on Huo Xin's chest and smiled slightly: "But I don't want to be separated from you. You're taking me away, can't you let me stay with you?"

Upon hearing this, Hossin was about to say something when his chest was pierced.

Huo Xin slowly lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on his heart, where he saw a fair wrist reaching into his chest and grasping the heart of this body.

"—…" Huo Xin's eyes were filled with sorrow: "Why?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yi squeezed the beating heart, which shattered instantly. Blood spilled from Huo Xin's mouth, but Huo Xin didn't care. He looked at Ling Yi sadly and asked, "Yi Yi, why did you do this to me?"

"We..." Huo Xin raised his hand, wanting to touch Ling Yi's face, but just as his hand was about to land on Ling Yi's face, Ling Yi suddenly pulled his hand away, dodged Huo Xin, and coldly said, "What about us?"

"We are enemies, and we have made that very clear."

"An enemy?" Huo Xin chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I never intended to be your enemy. It was you who..." betrayed the Origin Clan.

"Is that so?" Ling Yi said coldly, "But I don't think so."

"From the moment I saw your puppet, I knew we could only be enemies." With that, Ling Yi raised his hand, and wisps of black mist flew out, wrapping around Huo Xin's body and beginning to draw power from it.

Noticing what Ling Yi had done, Huo Xin's smile became even more self-deprecating: "Yi Yi, why bother?"

"I will give you whatever you want." Huo Xin raised his hand, and a black ball of power appeared in his palm. The ball of power was so dense that it seemed to drip water. Huo Xin pushed it, and the power flew towards Ling Yi: "Yi Yi, if you want it, I will give it to you."

Ling Yi watched the incoming power ball without dodging or evading. But at that moment, a golden arrow flew through the air and, under the watchful eyes of Huo Xin and Ling Yi, pierced through the black power ball.

With a "bang," the power ball exploded and dispersed into mist.

The golden light from the long arrow enveloped the black mist and began to purify it.

Seeing the power ball destroyed, Ling Yi felt displeased. He turned to look in the direction from which the arrow had come, but froze when he saw who it was.

The vines wrapped around Ji Yanzhi's feet, helping him to stand. In Ji Yanzhi's raised hand was a large golden bow formed from spiritual energy, from which the spiritual arrow was shot.

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling his hair and revealing his cold, sharp eyes, which seemed like the chill of a bottomless abyss or the frost that never melts atop a snow-capped mountain.

It was bitterly cold.

This was the first time Ling Yi had seen such a cold expression on Ji Yanzhi's face.

Ji Yanzhi looked at the two of them, bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but the fingertips on the bowstring once again gathered power, and the spirit arrow gradually took shape.

Ling frowned and flew towards Ji Yanzhi.

Seeing Ling Yi approach, Ji Yanzhi's cold gaze softened considerably, but...

Ling Yi raised his hand and caught the arrow.

"Zizi"

The power of the golden arrow was incompatible with the power Ling Yi was using at that moment. Almost the instant Ling Yi grasped it, smoke began to rise from his palm.

"Ling Yi!"

Ji Yanzhi felt a pang of heartache and immediately withdrew his power.

As the arrows disappeared and the damage over time wore off, Ji Yanzhi reached out to grab Ling Yi's hand: "Open it up, let me see."

Ling Yi withdrew her hand, avoiding Ji Yanzhi's hand, and stared at Ji Yanzhi with her eyes that were red to the point of being black.

Ji Yanzhi grabbed at empty air and looked at her. Meeting those bloodshot eyes, Ji Yanzhi sensed that Ling Yi was angry.

"I..." After a moment's thought, Ji Yanzhi realized why Ling Yi was angry. Whenever he used his power, apart from healing, any other actions, whether defensive or offensive, would harm his body.

He had promised Ling Yi that he would no longer use his defensive and offensive powers.

But he just used it.

"Why would you use it?" Ling Yi looked at Ji Yanzhi. "Don't you know your own situation?"

Ji Yanzhi did not dodge or ignore him, but looked at Ling Yi seriously and said, "You want to absorb his power."

Ling Yi said, "The power emanating from him is more concentrated than the shadow of the entire Sea God Kingdom, so why can't we absorb it?"

As long as she absorbs those powers, she can recover one-tenth of her strength from the apocalypse, unlock her skills, and strengthen her body—all without any further effort.

She can recover if she comes a few more times.

“You can’t absorb it.” Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi: “Absorbing the shadow is not a big problem, but… he possesses the purest primal power of the Origin Clan, and that power will make you completely lose control and become the same as before.”

She didn't want to become like she used to be; she had forgotten, but he hadn't.

He couldn't bear to see her go back to how she used to be.

“Ling Yi.” Ji Yanzhi looked at her earnestly and said, “We have plenty of time. We can take it slow. The path of absorbing source energy is not easy. We…”

"Take it slow?" Just as Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi were talking, Huo Xin appeared beside Ling Yi and attacked Ji Yanzhi directly: "I won't let Yi Yi take it slow with you."

Ling Yi's eyes darkened, and he reached out and grabbed Huo Xin's hand. With a sudden twist, he broke Huo Xin's arm. Huo Xin, however, didn't care. Strands of thread flew out from his body and spread towards Ji Yanzhi.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yi suddenly conjured a ball of black flame in her hand. The flame landed on the silk thread and immediately burned it. Not only that, the black flame followed her gaze and burned towards Huo Xin's arm.

Ling Yi moved swiftly, blocking Ji Yanzhi's path, her gaze turning icy as she looked at Huo Xin: "Who gave you permission to touch him?"

Huo Xin looked at Ling Yi, who was standing in front of Ji Yanzhi, his misty blue eyes filled with sadness: "You're protecting him?"

Ling Yi didn't bother to respond, raised his hand and drew his bone knife, attacking Huo Xin directly.

Seeing that Ji Yanzhi had taken direct action, Huo Xin realized that he would not be able to extract any information from him, so he decided to eliminate him directly.

but……

Ling Yi's gaze fell on Huo Xin. He hadn't died even with his heart crushed, which meant that his body wasn't the key. So what was his weakness?

Seeing Ling Yi's gaze lingering on him, Huo Xin knew what Ling Yi was thinking and gave a self-deprecating smile: "Yi Yi, you can't kill me."

"The Origin Clan is immortal and indestructible."

"So what if you're immortal?" Ling Yi said coldly. "All things in the world are interconnected and mutually restraining. There is no such thing as something that is immortal forever. I will find your weakness and kill you."

Hossin wanted to say something more, but a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Extract her soul."

"No..." Huo Xin instinctively refused, but the thought wouldn't allow him to refuse. No matter how Huo Xin resisted, his hand was still raised.
