Killing Intent Stirs

Xuanyuan Batian had burned his essence blood to force his way here. He had no time to waste words on Qin Jishi. The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for him.

There was only one conviction in Xuanyuan Batian's heart now: kill Qin Jishi, obtain the Starlight Water, then leave this place.

Xuanyuan Batian's sudden attack caught Qin Jishi off guard.

A powerful pressure enveloped him, and Qin Jishi's expression turned grave.

Before burning his essence blood, Xuanyuan Batian's cultivation had already come infinitely close to the threshold of Heaven Opening Level 4. Now, bolstered by the burning of his essence blood, his cultivation had directly reached Heaven Opening Level 4.

With Heaven Opening Level 4 cultivation and the enhancement of Nine Swords Fusion, Xuanyuan Batian could likely put up a fight even against a Heaven Opening Level 6 existence.

"Qin Jishi, it is not too late for regret. Give up that Starlight Water, and I will grant you a chance to live."

"What do you say?"

It was not that Xuanyuan Batian did not wish to attack; the price he had paid was simply too great.

Even though he wanted to put Qin Jishi to death this very moment, if possible, Xuanyuan Batian was willing to spare him.

Using Nine Swords Fusion to slay the Frost Flood Dragon earlier had already dealt Xuanyuan Batian considerable backlash. Now that he had burned his essence blood, he was already at the end of his rope. If he continued to use Nine Swords Fusion...

Hmph!

That would only add frost to snow.

To put it bluntly, if Xuanyuan Batian truly used Nine Swords Fusion again, even if Qin Jishi ultimately died by his hand, the price he paid would likely be more than he could bear.

It was possible!
