Chapter 1137: Duties (II)
It's the Spring's Echo!
The spirit sparrow froze for an instant, realizing that her opponent had unleashed his Life Divine Ability in full, striking her while she was vulnerable. It was already too late. The bluish-gray Pristine Water cascaded down upon her.
Chi Buzi remained cautious. Though the spirit sparrow was trapped and unlikely to escape, she could still fight to the death. If she died now, all the years of his preparation would be wasted.
So while maintaining his suppression with the Pristine Water, he revealed himself, a confident smile spreading across his face as he said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to panic. I did not go to all this trouble just to take your life."
The demonic creature did not believe him and only replied coldly, "Enough talk. My divine ability may be weak, but if I fight with my life on the line, wounding you will not be difficult!"
Chi Buzi blinked and steadied his gaze. His features were handsome, and his azure robes lent him a refined air. With a solemn expression on his face, he spoke with apparent sincerity, "I truly have no intention of harming you. You and I belong to different Dao lineages and share no enmity. You possess neither spirit artifact nor treasure; why would I wish you harm? My goal was merely to open a Lesser Yin Dao lineage of my own, and I feared you might compete for it, hence this display."
The demonic creature still did not believe him. The Pristine Water divine ability in Chi Buzi's hands never ceased as he continued speaking, "At worst, it becomes a fight to the death. You may try if you wish."
As he spoke, a silver-white cord within his sleeve began to glow faintly. His expression did not change; he watched her earnestly while silently increasing the pressure of the Pristine Water, growing heavier with every breath.
