Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#216 - Chapter 216 God Appears

In an instant, a chilling sensation shot straight up to the crown of Liu Shen's head from the soles of his feet.

His pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints as he manipulated the bone blade, aiming it to stab towards Xiang Nan Zhi, but ultimately, it missed its mark.

Xiang Nan Zhi's figure swayed, disappearing behind Liu Shen.

"Careful, scatter quickly!"

Liu Shen shouted loudly without turning his head.

"Quick, scatter!!!"

The others in the distance immediately reacted, scattering in a panic to the surroundings.

Just then, Xiang Nan Zhi's mocking voice rang out from behind the crowd: "You're even slower!"

Xiang Nan Zhi crossed his palms in front of his chest, his ten fingers slicing downwards on both sides.

Whoosh—

Several distinct wind blades tore through the air, slashing towards the space between the eyebrows of several people.

"No!"

Liu Shen raised his hand, aiming at Xiang Nan Zhi, and several bone blades shot out, the gleaming tips converging into a single point.

Shred—

A series of tearing sounds of flesh echoed across the field as the fleeing individuals, upon taking their next step, were neatly split in half along a line between their eyebrows, collapsing to either side.

Having completed all of this, Xiang Nan Zhi's body rapidly withered, like a withered tree about to be snapped by the wind.

Xiang Nan Zhi raised his head, his gaze calmly watching the bone blade hurtling towards him.

At the critical moment, Xiang Nan Zhi retreated his left foot, his body like a tumbler, dodging the attack at an extremely tricky angle.

Crack, crack—

A series of bone-cracking sounds echoed from within Xiang Nan Zhi's body, his left leg visibly breaking into several sections, jagged bone spurs piercing through his skin.

"Die!"

Liu Shen roared, his eyes wide with rage, his feet suddenly exerting force, radial cracks erupting from beneath him, dust billowing up.

Xiang Nan Zhi was unable to dodge, directly seized by Liu Shen's grasp around his neck, and slammed heavily to the ground with a "thump".

"You bastard!"

Liu Shen roared, his eyes bloodshot, his fingers tightening with increasing force.

Crack, crack—

Accompanied by a sound of bones being crushed, Xiang Nan Zhi's neck lost all support, twisted into a thin line by Liu Shen's grip.

Bright red blood flowed out from between Liu Shen's fingers, dripping onto the ground with a "splatter, splatter".

A forced smile appeared on Xiang Nan Zhi's aged face, no trace of fear in his dim eyes.

"Just die!"

Liu Shen raised his clenched fist high, aiming at Xiang Nan Zhi's forehead.

Just as he was about to bring his fist down, dense lines of blood, like earthworms, crawled all over his body.

Liu Shen's fist also froze in mid-air, unable to fall.

His pupils dilated, staring in astonishment at Xiang Nan Zhi: "When… when did this happen?"

But how could Xiang Nan Zhi, with his neck gripped, possibly answer him?

Rustle, rustle—

Liu Shen collapsed like stacked building blocks, crashing down piece by piece onto Xiang Nan Zhi's body.

Liu Shen—fell!

Even in death, he didn't know that he had died at the hands of his own boss.

In those eyes, now separated in two different places, were filled with unwillingness and despair…

Outside the barrier, everyone watched all of this in horror.

"Is… is this the end?" Jiang Huyu murmured.

As the words fell, the barrier in front of everyone dissipated with the wind.

"Huaijin, Huaijin!"

Jiang Haicheng ran to Li Chenqiu's side and crouched down.

Before long, the Jiang family surrounded Li Chenqiu in a circle.

The Zhang family came to Xiang Nan Zhi's side, watching him warily.

At this time, Xiang Nan Zhi was like a sponge, absorbing the nearby blood.

His skin gradually tightened, and regained its luster.

Zhang Ming asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, and why are you wearing my clan's youth's face?"

Xiang Nan Zhi supported himself on his knees, staggering to his feet like he'd drunk fake alcohol, and looked up at Zhang Ming: "What's wrong, you guys want to fight me too?"

"Brother."

The old man standing beside Zhang Ming revealed a fierce expression.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Hey, you better not take that kid out of my sight, he's only able to stop the bleeding because of my ability, he won't last long without me."

The Jiang family, who had intended to take Li Chenqiu away, stopped in their tracks.

Jiang Haicheng lowered his head, looked Li Chenqiu up and down, and turned to look at Jiang Huyu beside him: "Bring him over."

Jiang Huyu hesitated: "Brother, but that person is a God-Forsaken, and… he's very dangerous, what if…"

Jiang Haicheng raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Huyu's words: "If he had malicious intentions, he wouldn't have healed Huaijin, bring him over, the top priority is to save Huaijin's life."

Jiang Huyu nodded and turned to walk towards the Zhang family.

Seeing Jiang Huyu approaching, Zhang Tong gave the others a look.

Everyone retreated one after another, making way for Xiang Nan Zhi.

Jiang Huyu walked over, looking at Xiang Nan Zhi warily and said: "We choose to trust you, I hope you don't let us down."

Xiang Nan Zhi smiled and nodded: "Hurry up!"

Tianpeng Tribe Hospital

In a spacious and bright ward, Li Chenqiu, covered in white bandages like a mummy, lay peacefully on the bed.

A doctor reached out and pried open Li Chenqiu's closed eyes, looking at them again and again.

"How is he?"

Jiang Haicheng, who was surrounding the bed, asked with concern.

The doctor stood up and smiled, nodding to Jiang Haicheng: "He's fine, just rest well, eat a light diet, and if all goes well, he'll be completely recovered in a week."

Hearing this, Jiang Haicheng touched his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, I told you that Second Brother is destined for good fortune, so you don't have to worry, but you didn't believe me."

"I know that, but what if God suddenly went crazy?" Jiang Haicheng said with a smile.

Beep—

A sound similar to tinnitus came from the side.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that Li Chenqiu's electrocardiogram had suddenly turned into a straight line.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Haicheng's chest instantly rose to his throat, and his eyes rolled back, almost fainting.

Fortunately, he was supported by someone standing beside him.

"Doctor, what… what's going on?" Jiang Huyu asked in a panic.

The doctor widened his eyes, looking at the flat electrocardiogram in disbelief: "This—ah?"

"Brother!" Jiang Huyu shook Jiang Haicheng vigorously: "Brother, did you just curse God?!"

"Is that the reason?" Jiang Haicheng's face turned pale, and he quickly put his hands together, piously saying: "Great God, this little old man was wrong, grievances have their source, debts have their debtor, if you have anger in your heart, then punish me!"

The others followed Jiang Haicheng's example, putting their hands together and praying piously, completely ignoring Xiang Nan Zhi sitting on the head of the bed.

"Huh?" Xiang Nan Zhi frowned, using his hand to probe Li Chenqiu's breathing, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes: "He's breathing, how can there be no heartbeat."

Xiang Nan Zhi raised his left hand that was pressed on Li Chenqiu's chest, scratching his head in confusion.

Tick, tock—

The electrocardiogram fluctuated again.
