Chapter 1597: Opening a Sliver (1)

With a squeeze, the bloody heart shattered instantly.
Its flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
Despite being in a state of regeneration, the intense pain still caused Li Mengtu to cough up blood, and the gaping wound in his chest continued to gush with fresh blood.
His body instantly became covered in blood like Xu Qing.
Moreover, this pain caused his body to twist unconsciously.
However, the strange thing was that… he was actually smiling.
The wooden carving of an old man in his hand was also smiling.
Their bodies were twisted and their expressions were filled with pain, yet they were smiling.
Their postures looked exactly the same.
Xu Qing’s heart suddenly trembled. At this instant, his chest actually split open on its own, as though it had been pierced by an invisible hand. A bloody hole appeared, revealing his heart.
His heart… seemed to be grabbed by that invisible hand and began to be crushed.
“The Law of Karma!”
The dao marks in Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly flickered. He immediately saw karma threads connecting him to the wooden carving and the wooden carving to Li Mengtu.
It was as though this wooden carving had become a medium that connected Xu Qing and Li Mengtu!
Due to this connection, the damage was not transferred but rather mirrored between them.
Li Mengtu crushed his own heart, so Xu Qing’s heart was likewise doomed to destruction.
Xu Qing’s expression turned gloomy. Seeing that his heart was about to be crushed, he immediately manifested a huge pair of scissors.
This naturally wasn’t the Great Emperor’s treasure from back then but the manifestation of erase authority’s dao marks.
Although its might wasn’t as great as before, as Xu Qing’s cultivation level increased, it became extremely powerful. After it appeared, it snipped the karma threads between him and the wooden carving.
With snapping sounds, all the karma threads were severed.
He resolved the danger of his heart shattering!
Xu Qing took a step forward and was about to attack Li Mengtu.
However, at the next instant, Li Mengtu’s hoarse voice echoed out.
“From the moment I saw that you possessed this special authority, I guessed that you might have a way to break the karma. Since I displayed it, how could I not be prepared?!”
“The digging of my heart was just to verify if you really have the method to break the karma.”
As he spoke, Li Mengtu’s right hand, which was holding the wooden carving, ruthlessly bent it. Immediately, the wooden carving rumbled and the old man’s head was broken by Li Mengtu.
This wooden carving had a mysterious origin and was extremely bizarre. Although the karma threads it emitted were cut, the backlash it erupted with was extremely ferocious.
Moreover, the moment the head was broken, the karma threads that were cut seemed to have been given life. They were like pythons that coiled around Xu Qing’s erase authority scissors.
With the help of this entanglement, they were connected again.
Xu Qing’s pupils contracted.
At the same time, Li Mengtu laughed loudly and took out a dagger with his left hand. He stared at Xu Qing and slashed ruthlessly at his neck without hesitation!
A large amount of blood spurted out. The wound was so deep that even his bones were cut.
The same injury instantly appeared on Xu Qing’s neck.
As blood spurted out, Xu Qing’s entire body trembled violently. Already plagued by numerous injuries, his physical body now suffered further severe damage, causing his cultivation to become chaotic and his vitality to rapidly drain away.
He could only forcefully press down on his wound with one hand and retreat rapidly.
However, the dizziness was drowning him like tidal waves.
On the other hand, Li Mengtu put away the wooden carving and borrowed the power of his regeneration authority in its last few moments of duration to regenerate his lost heart. The terrifying wound on his neck also recovered visibly.
By the time the power of the regeneration authority completely dissipated, he had returned to his uninjured state.
However, at the next instant, the price of his regeneration authority finally arrived. In the blink of an eye, half of his hair turned white, his body withered, and his aura weakened significantly.
However, its eyes were shining as it locked onto Xu Qing’s retreating figure.
“It seems that your time reversal is just as I judged. You won’t be able to activate it a second time within a short period.”
As he spoke, his killing intent soared as he rushed toward Xu Qing.
He was certain Xu Qing couldn’t use time reversal anymore.
His speed was so fast that he instantly teleported and appeared in front of Xu Qing, who was retreating rapidly. Killing intent overflowed into the sky as he raised his right hand and ruthlessly pressed down.
He wanted to kill Xu Qing on the spot.
At this critical moment, Xu Qing, whose neck was about to break, no longer hesitated at all. What appeared in his eyes wasn’t panic but killing intent.
He ruthlessly bit down on the item he had placed in his mouth before the battle.
It was a special rune!
It contained recovery power given to him by Grandma Five from the Moon Offering Region!
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xu Qing didn’t want to use this power.
This was because although using this power could instantly heal him, it would consume Grandma Five’s vitality.
But now… he had no choice but to use it.
The instant he crushed the rune, a gentle force instantly erupted in Xu Qing’s body. In the blink of an eye, it filled his entire body, allowing the flesh and bones on his chest to recover. All the injuries on his body recovered and his neck, which was about to fall off, also suddenly recovered.
Immediately after, the fury rune formed by Eighth Grandpa’s power was also crushed by Xu Qing.
In an instant, extreme anger erupted from Xu Qing’s body. Accompanying the anger was even more intense killing intent and the enhancement of the cultivation base in his body.
Even his physical body was enhanced by the power of anger.
Xu Qing’s entire body swelled up and the veins on his body bulged. His eyes were bloodshot and his breath also contained power that could affect emotions.
