533 Gan Ji’s Last Dance (1/2)
Several weeks of 24/7 combat exhausted Gan Ji, Li Feihong, and Diaochan.
Because of the dogfight combat and the power of 3 immortals, some of the undead creatures in the area got hit by stray bullets and Gan Ji's soul detonation attacks.
Gan Ji's backup souls dwindled. From 300,000 souls and 100,000 years of lifespan, he had 5,000 souls left. However, because of the soul-devouring technique, his lifespan increased to 500,000.
Meanwhile, Diaochan and Li Feihong had their other sources of supply, the clan lifespan pool. With many cultivators in their clan, their public lifespan pool kept increasing as more clan members donated some of their unused life force to help the two combatants.
As such, they didn't have a problem with their limited lifespan in their arsenal. Moreover, Diaochan didn't spend as many lifespans as Li Feihong and Gan Ji since she rarely used her system skills that she had inherited from Tong, [Firearm Creation] and [Create Food].
Li Feihong spent the majority of the clan's lifespan pool because of his portal gate system skillset. Yet, the ability was the reason why Gan Ji couldn't harm Diaochan and Li Feihong.
In late-July, Gan Ji finally lost his patience. Instead of targeting Diaochan, he tried to find Li Feihong's portals.
'I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR COWARD TACTIC, LIU XUANDE!! I'LL DRAG YOU OUT OF YOUR DIMENSION!!”
Gan Ji consumed all backup souls to increase his lifespan again. His remaining years increased to a million.
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
Gan Ji parried Diaochan's relentless attacks, pretending to be on dead legs.
*VHOOM*
Gan Ji's baiting worked. Li Feihong thought that he found an opening and opened a portal to snipe the old sage.
Gan Ji fled from Diaochan and shuttled toward the opening warp gate.
”HAHAHAHA!! YOU'VE MESSED UP, FOOL!!”
Without defending himself, Gan Ji braced all aura-coated bullets coming from the gates.
Gan Ji's body was riddled with bullet holes, but his plan succeeded.
He got inside Li Feihong's dimension world!
His right hand also seized Li Feihong's neck.
”Not good!”
Diaochan reacted half-a-breathe too late. She followed after Gan Ji and entered Li Feihong's dimension as well.
”DIE!! LIU XUANDE!!”
Gan Ji activated [Corrosive Touch] skill.
Li Feihong widened his eyes in shock as his neck slowly melted into a murky liquid.
Soon, his entire body, armor, and clothes became nothing but yellow goo.
”HAHAHAHAHA!! I'VE KILLED LI FEIHONG!! MY LADY!! I'VE KILLED LIU XUANDE!!”
Gan Ji staggered as he concentrated his power to heal his bullet wounds in his body.
Diaochan entered Li Feihong's dimension gate and found Gan Ji. She gazed at the murky pond of Li Feihong's remaining.
In anger, she chased after the old man.
Gan Ji was aware that he couldn't keep up with Medusa. He suppressed the pain and flew away.
However, he had nowhere to go. The portal gate had closed, and they got stuck in this dimension.
”You can't escape now, morn!!”
Medusa shouted as she pointed her pistol muzzle at Gan Ji.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Half of the fired bullets hit Gan Ji as he was too tired to parry all of them.
The injuries slowed Gan Ji's reaction speed. Combining with his exhaustion, he was on the verge of collapsing.
Gan Ji couldn't retaliate but keep fleeing from Diaochan!
'I guess this is the end!'
Gan Ji resolved himself that he would die soon. He grounded his teeth and looked for a chance to detonate his souls to kill Medusa.
But as he was looking for an opening, his immortal sight found many individuals in this dimension.
Ma Chao
Xu Shu
Zhang Min
Zhang Ying
Lu Lingqi
Sima Yi
Sima Lang
Sima Fu
And … another Liu Bei!
'Two Liu Bei? Oh, right. Li Feihong was the reincarnated Liu Bei, but this one is a native… Hmm!?'
Gan Ji found another interesting thing. The native Liu Bei had a peculiar soul, which was in a form of flesh monster.
A wicked idea popped up in Gan Ji's mind.
”What are you looking at!?”
Medusa exploited the moment that Gan Ji got distracted by Liu Bei. Her spear penetrated into Gan Ji's heart.
She twisted her spear and widened the wound. At the same time, she injected half of her lifespan into the spear to create aura spikes.
Ten red aura spikes grew from the spear pole and pierced through Gan Ji's innards. Ten red spikes exited Gan Ji's torso.
Yet, Gan Ji sneered at Medusa. His hand reached out and grabbed her collar cloth.
Seven souls of Gan Ji detached from the sage's body and latched on Medusa.
But one headed for Liu Bei. It laughed at Liu Bei as it thrust its hand into Liu Bei's chest.
”HAHAHAHAHA!!! DIE!!!”
Gan Ji detonated all his souls!
Diaochan's face paled. She muttered a few words, but a sentence was audible to everyone in this dimension.
”I'm sorry, Yang, Feihong. This might cripple all of us… [Share my injuries to my subordinates]!”
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Seven explosions engulfed Diaochan, but the other one destroyed the clueless Liu Bei.

Liu Yang was minding her business inside her resting tent, cultivating life essence. She was the main contributor to the lifespan pool as she could cultivate the fastest.
Everything was in order. Guo Jia was overseeing to armies, and Xu Huang's men had already reinforced the frontline.
But suddenly…
”Pffft!”
Liu Yang vomited blood. The familiar sensation of torturing pain came back.
Red lines appeared on her body, and blood gushed out from the wounds.
Soul injuries!
”The fuck!?”
Liu Yang was confused about why she suddenly suffered from soul injuries. However, she recalled something.
'The immortal oath!? What happened to Medusa!?'
