701 Death Gate Destroyed (1/2)

The green-white long sword directly pierced through her chest and into her heart.

Gong Xinran didn't die from this, only feeling that her left chest was extremely painful.

At this moment, the stone pillar behind her would be easily broken if it was a different time period.

She had a good grasp of Earth and Wind Shield Techniques, even without using seals and incantations she could craft them.

However, she couldn't move. The sword in her chest sealed off all her Energy Meridians. Even her Soul Power was sealed too.

Not to mention spells, she couldn't even move her limbs.

She was also unable to calm down. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have felt any pain just an hour after reviving.

A heart stabbing pain, a bone-deep ache!

She looked forward in shock, only seeing Zong Shou's ice-cold eyes filled with only killing intent.

Her heart couldn't help but tense up. As her heart muscles and the blade rubbed against one another, she felt intense pain.

How did this happen?

Gong Xinran could feel that she seemed to recall something, but she couldn't remember the specifics.

Zong Shou's brow rose, feeling slightly weird. In that instant, he actually saw emotions from her eyes, like she had come back to life.

Following this, he shook his head and knew that it was most probably an illusion. This was only the case because he had some hope and couldn't bear to see her like this.

He waved his hand and the sky full of black flames swept over.

It merged three types of lightning and the Lu Family Sky Burning Flame, forming the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash.

The strength of this technique was rare in the world and it was great to purify dead corpses!

However, when the black flames reached her, Zong Shou frowned. Although he had locked her Soul Power and Death Energy, she had ability to repel the burn.

She had something similar to the Indestructible Body of the Buddhist Sect, being comparable to an Intermediate Xuan Grade, even High-Grade Spiritual Metal. Several breaths later, it only burnt most of her flesh and muscles.

However, at this moment, her body suddenly had a weird force which bounced back.

It didn't go up against the black flame but regenerated her body a crazy rate.

Gong Xinran's body would recover whatever the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash destroyed. They came to a deadlock as neither side was budging.

Just as Zong Shou was hesitating whether or not to use the White Hole Dharma to totally finish her, Bai Ruo spoke from above.

”Ruler, this woman is the Netherworld Princess! She is different from normal Death Witches and her body is indestructible. If she wants, she can't be destroyed, even in half a month. Ruler, try using this item!”

A few golden lights landed. Zong Shou reached out and picked them up.

There were six red nails roughly half a foot long. Each was as thick as a thumb and had numerous words carved on them.

Zong Shou recognised this item.

”Evil Destroying Heart Locking Nail?”

It was a little different from the set he saw in the future.

This was crafted from 1000-year peach wood and it seemed to have gone through lightning strikes as a portion of it was charred black.

The reason why it was red all over would be because it was bathed in the blood of Spiritual Beasts.

What was carved on it wasn't Taoist words, but Confucian Scriptures, the size of a fly. Threads of vast Righteous Energy was hidden within.

He could sense that it was even stronger than the ones those six Vast Qingxuan Warriors used just now.

His eyes lit up as this was a good item to wipe out evil.

He knew how to use this item so he didn't hesitate, pinning a long nail into the center of her palm.

Gong Xinran frowned, she couldn't suppress it and scoffed coldly. She could feel a twitching pain in her heart.

Memories rose up into her mind once more. She remembered that she died this way on Demon Corpse Mountain...

Being cheated, nailed onto a tree by blades and being tortured...

It was this person who saved her and took revenge for her.

Just as she was recalling, pain broke her thoughts. Her left palm was also pierced onto a stone wall.

In medicine, the palm represent the heart, one of the five hearts a human had. To Cultivators, the Soul Heart at the center of the eyebrows was most important. The head of the Six Hearts!

Locking down these Six Hearts, one would be able to destroy all evil corpses.

Zong Shou knew that the Nameless Sword which could absorb souls and the flames around him wouldn't be weaker than this nail.

When those two-foot nails were pinned, all that was left was the center of her eyebrows.

However, Zong Shou hesitated.

When this was nailed in, she would return to dust.

There would be no traces of Gong Xinran anymore

”Ruler...”

A voice spread from behind, it was Gong Yue. His tone was filled with panic like he wanted to persuade but was also suppressing himself.

Zong Shou calmed himself down and with his mind made up, he solemnly pinned down.

Her pupils constricted and then she calmly accepted death. Naturally, when one revived, one wouldn't be afraid of death anymore.

The White Bone Relic once again appeared at her brow, layers of grey and white energy blocking.

Soft explosions erupted as the Evil Destroying Heart Locking Nail broke through layer by layer.

Right as he was about to reach her brow, Zong Shou frowned.
