Zhong Kui's Diary
Looking around, A Li raised her Index Finger and Middle Finger, drawing a circle on the floor out of thin air. Suddenly, a huge glowing ring appeared on the ground, dazzling with vibrant colors. As A Li moved her fingers, the ring slowly shifted across the floor, eventually stopping beneath Guo'er and the others.
She nodded at me, and A Li and Song Xi stepped into the ring. I wasn't sure how A Li did it, but the ring instantly transformed into a circular Light Screen towering four to five meters high, enclosing everyone inside. The screen was faintly transparent, allowing glimpses of shadowy figures within.
"Ghost Brother, remember to use the Kill You Divine Skill," A Li's voice came from within the colorful screen. Then, with a whoosh, the circular Light Screen suddenly vanished, leaving only me and Jin Manyuan in the Badminton Hall.
At this moment, my Fire Element Butcher's Knife was already damaged beyond recognition, and my Wind Element Electric Drill was reduced to just two feet long. With a grunt, I threw the Butcher's Knife and Electric Drill at Jin Manyuan's head while channeling my spell, launching a punch toward the Golden Barrier.
The first move of the Kill You Divine Skill: I'll knock you dead with one punch.
Seeing me execute this move, a strange expression appeared on Jin Manyuan's face—part surprise, part contemplation—as if he had seen this Divine Skill before but couldn't recall where.
With a thunderous sound, my punch struck the golden Barrier. I heard cracking noises as several fissures appeared on the Golden Barrier in front of my fist. The cracking sounds grew louder and more intense as the fissures spread like they had a life of their own. Despite those Bagua Runes desperately trying to fill in the cracks, it was futile. With a massive crack, the entire Golden Barrier shattered into pieces, and those Bagua symbols instantly vanished into thin air.
The Kill You Divine Skill indeed packs a punch.
Watching Jin Manyuan's astonished and bewildered expression made me smirk inwardly. Heh heh, this punch was merely to break your defense; what will truly take your life is this next kick.
With a loud shout, I activated my Spell and flew up to kick Jin Manyuan in the chest.
Jin Manyuan seemed to remember something and suddenly looked horrified, screaming in despair: "Damn it, this Mutual Support Technique! Zheng Nan, don't!"
Fool! Who would support you? This is called Kill You Divine Skill!
Now you know fear? This is what happens when you kidnap my friends and family! This is what happens when you threaten me arrogantly! This is what happens when you scheme against me!
I Kick You to Death.
Boom!
Jin Manyuan seemed to want to dodge, but once my Divine Skill was unleashed, it completely enveloped him. No matter which direction he tried to escape to, he would be caught by my Divine Skill. In utter desperation, Jin Manyuan could only brace himself with both hands against my kick.
There was no expected loud bang; it felt as if I had kicked a giant SpongeBob, sensing my mana dissipating like a cow sinking into the sea, with no point of resistance. At that moment, something strange happened. Where our fists and feet met, a massive Grinder suddenly appeared, slowly rotating.
What is this thing? This move isn't in the Kill You Divine Skill.
Then, something shocking occurred. As the Grinder moved slowly, my mana was continuously absorbed by it, ground into dust, and turned into nothingness...
At the same time, mana from Jin Manyuan was also flowing into the Grinder, his mana being ground away and disappearing...
My body felt as if it had been hit by a Paralysis Charm; I couldn't move at all. Looking at Jin Manyuan, he held my legs with both hands, his face filled with shock and anxiety, yet he too was completely still. It seemed he was in the same situation as I was and couldn't move either.
What the hell is going on?
"Indeed, Mutual Support Technique, indeed Mutual Support Technique..." Jin Manyuan muttered several times before suddenly shouting angrily, "You idiot! Why would you use such a mutually destructive move?"
Oh? Jin Manyuan can actually speak. I couldn't help but cough lightly. After hearing my own cough, I realized that while our bodies couldn't move, we could still talk.
"You’re the idiot; your whole family is full of idiots!" I cursed with great satisfaction. Anyway, now that there were no hostages to worry about, even if this Grinder drained all our mana and turned us into husks, I wouldn't care.
Jin Manyuan's eyes instantly burned with fury. It was clear that if he could move right now, he would unleash all his spells on me and beat me to a pulp.
Unfortunately, like me, he couldn't move either.
I laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about my mana being continuously drained by the Grinder, and continued to hurl insults. Since we couldn't fight anymore, did that mean I couldn't curse at you?
Jin Manyuan's anger grew stronger; his eyes turned blood red while I became increasingly amused by my own insults.
Just as I was cursing from Jin Manyuan's grandfather to his thirteenth ancestor who was a turtle keeper, Jin Manyuan suddenly sighed deeply: "Zheng Nan, it seems we will both be drained of our mana here and end up as dried corpses."
"If we both die, countless families will be happy! Just thinking about your death brings peace to humanity; I think it's worth it," I sneered. "Aren't you tired of living? Now there's such a great opportunity to seek death; shouldn't you thank me?"
"Zheng Nan, that's pointless. Before we die, I want to know how you advanced so rapidly to Soul Level?" Jin Manyuan asked without anger, only sighing.
"An adventure! I had an adventure! I accidentally fell off a cliff, and below the cliff was a cave. Inside the cave was an alchemy furnace, and in the furnace were the long-awaited Eternal Crimson Fruits. Each fruit I ate would increase my magical power by ten thousand years. I first swallowed two chopsticks to stretch my stomach, and then poured hundreds of Eternal Crimson Fruits into my belly..." I rambled on, secretly laughing to myself, thinking I wouldn't tell you; go ahead and bite me.
"Zheng Nan, where did you learn this Mutual Support Technique?" Jin Manyuan sighed and asked.
"What Mutual Support Technique? This is called Kill You Divine Skill!" I scoffed.
At that moment, all the Lightning Magic within me had been ground away by the Grinder, and now the Fire Elemental Magic was flowing into it. However, I didn't care; I had nothing to begin with. Even if everything was ground away, I would still have nothing. So what if I lost my life? As long as I could kill Jin Manyuan, it would be worth it.
As for Shen Sipan, he was already lost to madness and posed little threat to humanity.
"I've seen this kind of Mutual Support Technique before. Two Master-Level experts from the Song Family fought against a Grandmaster Level expert from the Gao Family. Initially, the Song Family had no chance of winning, but they ended up using this technique to create a Grinder that trapped the Gao Family's Grandmaster Level expert inside. After that, I witnessed the Grandmaster's magic being ground away until he perished. The two Master-Level experts from the Song Family also died as a result," Jin Manyuan said with a bitter smile. "I never expected that I would meet the same fate today."
"Let me reiterate: this is called Kill You Divine Skill! Can't you understand human language?" I laughed mockingly.
"When the spring dries up, fish struggle on land; they help each other stay wet but are better off forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes," Jin Manyuan murmured as if he hadn't heard me. "I understand now; I understand! The magic within those two Song Family experts was of the same origin and quality. Only then could they activate the Grinder to kill the Gao Family's Grandmaster Level expert."
"No matter what you say, as long as it kills you, that's all that matters!" I laughed heartily.
"And now, our magic is being consumed by the Grinder because we both possess the same energy—Yin-Yang Energy. The Mutual Support Technique only works when there is identical energy present," Jin Manyuan sighed with a bitter smile. "Helping each other survive is an apt name; we are like two fish relying on each other's saliva to live. Only when both our powers are completely drained will this Grinder stop, and at that point, we will both die."
"Fool! It's all about this Kill You Divine Skill!" I shamelessly mocked him. Even if what Jin Manyuan referred to as Mutual Support Technique was true, so what? I was going to use Kill You Divine Skill.
I was just being willful!
"Wrong, Zheng Nan; this Divine Skill is indeed his Mutual Support Technique." Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind me. Then three pairs of footsteps approached. Since my body couldn't turn around, I could only desperately recall who this person was.
"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be security?" Jin Manyuan asked in surprise, simultaneously clearing my confusion; indeed, this voice belonged to the security guard at the entrance.
"Who am I? Haha, guess who I am?" The voice grew closer until finally, the security guard appeared between me and Jin Manyuan, looking curiously at the Grinder between us. Behind this guard were A Li and Song Xi.
"You are Shen Sipan! You Judgment of Life and Death!" I shouted.
Isn't it obvious? A Li and Song Xi are both standing behind you.
"Wrong, I am neither Shen Sipan nor the Judgment of Life and Death." The Middle-Aged Security Guard smiled, and then I felt a blur in front of me as the guard transformed into the middle-aged big fatty from the Hall of Life and Death.
"You clearly are the Judgment of Life and Death that I saw in the Hall of Life and Death," I shouted hoarsely.
Once again, my vision blurred, and the middle-aged big fatty turned into Shen Sipan, a refined young man.
"Shen Sipan is just a pseudonym," Shen Sipan said with a smile as he looked at me.
"Then who exactly are you?"
"My real name is Song Yuqing."
"Song Yuqing? Are you from the Song Family?" I was taken aback. What on earth is going on? "Aren't you the Judgment of Life and Death? I clearly saw you in the Hall of Life and Death."
"Who told you that just because you saw someone in the Hall of Life and Death, they must be the Judgment of Life and Death?" Song Yuqing laughed heartily. "The real Judgment of Life and Death has long been defeated by our Song Family and has lost all power. Currently, no one knows where he is waiting to die in this world."
"What did you say?" Jin Manyuan and I exclaimed simultaneously.
