Chapter 1719: We Can Talk
Pan Chen and the uncle were confronting each other. Pan Chen soon found that his way of attacking the soul was of little use to the man in black. Instead, his own soul had lost a lot of soul energy after being shot a few times.
Faced with the pitch-black muzzle, Pan Chen felt some palpitations.
Not even the heavenly dao could erase him. There was nothing he could do.
Pan Chen politely said to the uncle, “We can talk.”
“If I said that this last shot will directly disintegrate your body, would you believe it?” The uncle said coldly, “I gave you one chance since it was not easy for you to form consciousness. But you didn’t appreciate it. Keeping you alive will only leave a scourge for the world.”
Pan Chen furrowed his graceful eyebrows. “Is there a need to be so violent all the time?”
The uncle fired a shot at Pan Chen’s spirit body. The silent power almost destroyed his spiritual body, turning it transparent.
Pan Chen raised his hand in shock; it had become transparent. Pan Chen immediately burrowed into his original body and said, “I surrender.”
Ning Shu: …
She thought she was in for a show! But he adapted quickly!
Pan Chen flew towards the uncle, who stretched out his hand to catch the stone.
Ning Shu was practically drooling. This was such a good treasure!
Killing people wouldn’t result in karma, and it could also be used to replace oneself in case of elimination.
The uncle put the stone away.
“Give me the item,” said the uncle indifferently to Zhang Jiasen. “This kind of thing isn’t something you should have as a task-taker.”
Zhang Jiasen squeezed the stone tightly and took two steps back. “This is what I got for myself. I have the right to possess it.”
“Didn’t you also want this thing and even knew it was there since a long time ago? You let them kill to draw it out.” Zhang Jiasen looked serious.
The uncle said lightly, “So what?”
Zhang Jiasen’s expression was exasperated. “Then, what right do you have to take away my things?”
“I want to. Who are you to say such things to me?” asked the uncle without any emotion.
“Are you stupid? They are just souls now. Who knows how many times they have died. The flesh, the body, it’s all fake,” said Pan Chen.
Ning Shu was slightly surprised. Was the body she was possessing also a fake? But there was a temperature and heartbeat. And she could also breathe. Was it all an illusion?
“Could it be that the first generation task-takers can just steal other people’s things?” Before Zhang Jiasen could finish his sentence, the object in his hand flew out.
“This is something I bestowed on a few slaves. Are you going to be my slave?” Pan Chen said, “Can you help me kill people to find souls? I’ll grant you eternal life.”
The uncle’s hand pressed on the stone, and Pan Chen immediately turned silent.
The thumb-sized child stone flew towards the uncle, who held the stone and said, “How many more stones are scattered outside? Call all of them back.”
“Yes…” replied Pan Chen timidly.
Zhang Jiasen’s face turned blue and extremely ugly.
When Ning Shu saw Zhang Jiasen lose the thing he had so painstakingly plotted to obtain, her heart leaped in her chest. She could not help but want to stand and applaud.
Nice job!
However, with an item like this, without anything left to restrain them, they would be reckless and carefree. The unrestrained task-takers would cause incalculable damage to the planes.
Without Pan Chen’s support, the space started to collapse. Everyone felt their vision blur for a moment before they appeared in the hall.
Ning Shu felt a vibration under her feet. It should be the divine stone hall collapsing.
She let out a long breath. This time, the task was finally completed after wasting an upgraded version of the protective talisman.
But now, she was very happy. Having been able to see Zhang Jiasen fail within reach of success made it all worth it.
“What’s happening to me?”
“Ah…”
