Chapter 268 - 268 "—Nah."

268 “—Nah.”

No words could describe Shuang Xueming’s current mood.

When the emerald green divine light attacked, Shuang Xueming indeed felt the fear of dying. Therefore, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if his reputation plummeted, he must block the surprise attack of the divine light.

No matter how important his reputation was, was it more important than his own life?

Of course not!

Therefore, Shuang Xueming immediately activated one of his secret treasures.

His father, King Han of the extreme north, had shed his body casing when he advanced to the Primal Core Realm. He later refined it into a treasure and gave it to Shuang Xueming for protection.

—The Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield.

Once he activated this secret treasure, he would be able to completely ignore attacks below the demon king level during the timespan it takes an incense stick to burn.

The time it took to burn an incense stick was not a long time.

However, in a life and death situation, it was enough to decide too many things.

It was just that the Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield had a limit on the number of times it could be used. After it was activated three times, it would completely collapse and lose all its defensive ability.

In the past, Shuang Xueming had activated the Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield once and it saved his life at the critical moment.

At this moment, it was the second time he had activated the Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield.

In the end…

Nothing happened!!

The seemingly powerful emerald green divine light made a round above his head before returning to Feng Xia’s hand. From the beginning to the end, it did not cause him any harm.

This also meant that he had activated the Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield for nothing!

“Xia Donghai… Xia Donghai!!”

Shuang Xueming screamed at the top of his lungs, visible veins bulging out on his forehead. His voice was originally sharp. At this moment, it was like a relentless demonic voice, piercing the eardrums of all the living beings present.

However, it was precisely because of this scream that many stunned demon beasts finally came back to their senses. When they looked at Shuang Xueming, there was only a strange look in their eyes.

Yes…

They could already tell.

Shuang Xueming had clearly been played by Xia Donghai!

A fake attack without any power had scared Shuang Xueming into using his trump card. No matter which way one looked at it, it was a complete joke!

“It’s… a fake attack?”

The mysterious old tortoise exclaimed and kept shaking its head. “At that moment just now, I even thought that Shuang Xueming was dead meat. I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it…”

Lava flowed and flames filled the sky. Chi Yanli was also full of praise. “Brilliant, really brilliant! It’s just a small trick, but it totally spins this guy around!”

Unknowingly, the way he looked at Feng Xia had changed.

To be more precise, the way he looked at the golden Immortal Breaking Talisman in Feng Xia’s hand changed.

Before this, even though Feng Xia claimed that this was a Immortal Breaking Talisman, Chi Yanli still found it hard to believe that Feng Xia would be able to obtain it so easily.

Gradually, as Feng Xia displayed more and more mystical abilities, Chi Yanli began to believe him.

“The others are still biding their time. Shuang Xueming doesn’t even need to think about it. If I seize this opportunity…”

Chi Yanli’s eyes darted around, and an impulse to make a deal gradually arose in his heart.

However, at the critical moment, he temporarily restrained himself.

This was because the figure behind him was whispering in confusion.

“Young master, why does Xia Donghai provoke Shuang Xueming time and time again? After all, this is the son of King Han. Based on how people usually think, even if there is a grudge, shouldn’t they try their best to resolve it…”

“What you say makes sense, but… is Xia Donghai an ordinary person?”

Chi Yanli chuckled and said, “There’s no hurry for now. Let me see how Xia Donghai will deal with Shuang Xueming’s anger.”

As expected, after realizing that he had been tricked, the anger in Shuang Xueming’s chest could no longer be suppressed.

His magical power surged violently, but the surrounding temperature was rapidly dropping. It was as if a piece of permafrost had descended, freezing life and everything in the world, wanting to drag everything into eternal frost!

“Strange, it’s still useless?”

At the same time, the corners of Feng Xia’s lips could not help but twitch.

To be fair, the shape of this green-skinned gourd inevitably reminded him of something from his pre-transmigration days, a treasure in the novel Investiture of the Gods, known as the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger!

At the thought of this, Feng Xia’s heart skipped a beat. He injected soul power into the green-skinned gourd again and said, “Please turn around, baby.”

Swoosh—

This time, divine light erupted from the green-skinned gourd again.

It was even faster and sharper than before. Before Feng Xia could react, the green light had already found its way to Shuang Xueming!

At this moment, Shuang Xueming had just activated his cultivation but did not have the time to condense a divine power yet.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

He seemed to be able to clearly see a hint of a shadow standing in the bright green light. Although the figure was small, it stood exceptionally upright with a hint of arrogance.

It was this figure who controlled the green light which arrived in front of him at a speed that surpassed everyone!

For some reason, the Silkworm Wing Spirit Shield did not defend him against it at all. It allowed the green light to pass through and explode with a brightness that no one could look at directly.

Shuang Xueming could only watch as that shadow reached his ears and let out a deafening shout as if it had gathered all its strength.

“Nah.”

“…”

“Nah, nah.”

“…?”

“Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.”

“???”

“—Nah.”

On the Heavenly Stairway, Feng Xia was stunned for a moment as he looked on. After a few moments, he suddenly said, “What the hell is this thing…”

When he used magical power to activate it, it could only be used as a vibrator.

When he only used his soul power to activate it, it just looked powerful but did not have any lethality.

As for the current situation…

Looking at the increasing number of obvious veins on Shuang Xueming’s forehead, Feng Xia found it difficult to judge whether this green-skinned gourd was lethal or not.

After fiddling with it for so long, the seemingly awesome-looking artifact spirit had flown out. In the end, this artifact spirit only knew how to keep yelling “Nah, nah, nah” to its target. Just how bored was that person who refined such a witless magic weapon?

However, what Feng Xia did not know was…

When the word “nah” rang in Shuang Xueming’s ears, various memories involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

There was one from when he was young, when he claimed that he had caused trouble because he was possessed. In the end, he was beaten up by his father.

There was another one of him searching for clues of his illusory past life every day after he read some ancient books. He claimed to be the reincarnation of a deity and asked his father to show some respect to him. In the end, he was beaten up by his father.

And…

“Ahhhhhhhhh—”

Suddenly.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shuang Xueming hugged his head and wept.

“Don’t speak anymore, ahhhhhhhh —”

…
