I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 304 - 299: The Advantage Is Mine

"An Array!" Master Rongku wasn’t flustered. Although he had also fallen off his Treasure and his chaotic Magical Power prevented him from flying, with the boundless sea right below his feet, he was still a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator. Very few people or things in this world could pose a threat to him.

A no-fly Array wasn’t particularly surprising.

However, the fact that someone could set it up over this vast expanse of sea proved that the Array Formation master’s skill was indeed profound.

But in the end, a battle still came down to strength.

Being skilled in Arrays was a bonus, but it wasn’t the key to deciding victory or defeat.

Master Rongku grabbed his Treasure. Just as he was about to hit the water, he used it to launch himself up with a leap, then landed on it to float on the surface of the sea.

His Divine Sense enveloped the entire area. He discovered that after Red Jade Master fell into the sea, she began flailing about chaotically. She clearly couldn’t swim.

He cursed inwardly, ’Idiot.’

’This stupid woman might just become the first Core Formation Master in history to drown.’

Then he saw Master Qingqiu, who was also unhurried. She stood on a Red Lotus Throne, bobbing on the waves, a faint smile still on her face and her eyes filled with affection. Master Rongku couldn’t help but mutter to himself, ’Pervert.’

The last time, he had personally witnessed Master Qingqiu giving that same affectionate look to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was hitting on her, right before she struck like lightning and gouged out the man’s eyes.

’What rotten luck to be assigned to a group with an idiot and a pervert for a single mission.’

Master Rongku felt melancholic, but his expression remained impassive. He swept his Divine Sense back and forth, trying to root out the little thief.

But even with his Golden Core Middle Stage Divine Sense, which could clearly discern a hermit crab crawling on the seabed, he couldn’t find any trace of the little thief.

He used Telepathy to communicate, "Master Qingqiu, something’s strange. Be careful. Red Jade Master, it’s fine if you can’t swim. Just find a Spiritual Artifact or a Treasure that can float."

"Red Jade Master? Red Jade Master?"

Master Rongku found it strange. ’Even if Red Jade Master is a bit stupid, she heard my reminder. Why is she still sinking?’

And the way she was struggling...

’Something’s wrong, very wrong. It’s as if something is dragging her down to the seabed!’

But his Divine Sense clearly hadn’t detected anyone near Red Jade Master!

’Not good!’

Suddenly, the hairs on Master Rongku’s arms stood on end. Without a second thought, he blocked behind him with his Lifebound Treasure.

Then, using his Treasure, he shot forward a hundred feet or so before turning around calmly.

He saw that in the spot he had just occupied, Master Qingqiu was standing on her Red Lotus Throne, battling a little monkey with her Red Silk.

The monkey bared its fangs and brandished its claws, screeching wildly. Though small in size, its aura was in no way inferior.

Its movements were extremely agile, leaving behind afterimages. For a moment, it looked as if hundreds of monkeys were tumbling through the air.

Master Rongku was utterly dumbfounded. ’A monkey that can fight on par with a Golden Core Middle Stage Master?’

’Isn’t that a Tier Three Demon King!’

But hadn’t the Demon Race been completely wiped out centuries ago?

’Where did this Demon King pop out from?!’

’No, no, I have to find a way to inform the Master. I need to have the Master come and subdue this monkey!’

’The Master will definitely have a way to turn this monkey into one of our own... our own monkey!’

Master Rongku didn’t remain idle. He said to Master Qingqiu, "Master Qingqiu, hold on for a while. I’m going to rescue Red Jade Master first!"

"Don’t worry about me. I can handle this," Master Qingqiu replied.

Reassured, Master Rongku dove into the sea.

Meanwhile, the fight between Lin Sha and Little Wukong was incredibly lively, and their private chat channel was about to explode.

"Little Wukong, why did your master dress you up so ugly? I almost didn’t recognize you."

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! (Don’t ask. It’s a long, sad story.)"

"Tell me, has your master been hooking up with other women these past few years?"

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! (I promised the Master I’d keep Fang Hua a secret from you!)"

"So, it’s Fang Hua!" Lin Sha said angrily. "Sneaking around while I’m not here. If you have the guts, try to seduce him in front of my face. I’d actually respect you more for it!"

She asked again, "Are there any other women?"

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! (Does it count if they live together but don’t sleep in the same room?)"

Lin Sha gritted her teeth. "Suddenly, I feel like beating him into a Living Dead again."

"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! (Want my help?)"

"No need. You hit too hard."

"???"

Master Rongku, having dived into the sea, swam with all his might toward the spot where Red Jade Master was sinking.

Of course, he didn’t know how to swim, but a Core Formation Master’s Physique was powerful, and he could hold his breath for a long time.

Although his swimming form was ugly, he had no problem moving faster than a fish.

As for Red Jade Master, perhaps she wasn’t just an idiot, but had also been ambushed.

Master Rongku remained on high alert, constantly sweeping the surroundings with his Divine Sense as he rapidly approached Red Jade Master.

At the same time, he also tried to communicate with her via Divine Sense.

"Red Jade Master! Red Jade Master!"

But no matter how he called out, Red Jade Master didn’t respond. She just kept flailing wildly and sinking toward the seabed.

’This is strange, but I can’t just let her die. Three of us came out to do a job for the Master. Three Core Formation Masters, two of whom are at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and our opponent is just a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Even though we’ve now discovered he unexpectedly has a Demon King as a helper, it’s still three against two. The advantage is ours. It would be ridiculous to go back having lost one of our own, right?’

If not for this mindset, Master Rongku wouldn’t have come to save Red Jade Master at all.

’Who do you think you are? A nobody from one of the Third-class Sects who only managed to reach Core Formation thanks to the Master’s grace.’

’I’m a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator from the Destruction Sect. Why should I save you?!’

As Master Rongku drew closer and closer to Red Jade Master, alarm bells were ringing incessantly in his mind.

’Red Jade Master’s condition is too bizarre. Even if you were ambushed and are being dragged down, you’re still a Core Formation Master. You’re still struggling, which means you’re not dead. So why aren’t you answering when I’m trying to communicate with my Divine Sense?’

A look of hesitation appeared on his withered face.

’It’s extremely difficult to maneuver down here at the bottom of the sea. If I get ambushed, I’ll suffer a huge loss.’

Thinking of this, Master Kurong decided to abandon Red Jade Master and turned to swim back to the surface.

But just then, a dark figure flashed out from behind Red Jade Master. The figure was the size of an adult man, and Master Kurong had no idea how someone so large could have hidden behind her.

And the strangest part was, his Divine Sense had swept the area so many times without discovering this person at all!

As for Red Jade Master, she was no longer moving. Her aura had dissipated. She had clearly been dead for some time, merely being controlled by this person as a cover!

Master Kurong simply couldn’t comprehend his opponent’s methods. It was just like back then in Shi Shentong’s grotto-heaven, when Du Youqian watched Shi Shentong fish, only to be deceived and toyed with by Shi Shentong’s Divine Sense.

Master Kurong’s hair stood on end. He no longer dared to underestimate this Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He didn’t dare to fight back at all. He released his Lifebound Treasure, a Jade Ruler, and shot toward the surface at full speed.

His opponent, however, unleashed a Treasure Flying Sword. Although the Flying Sword wasn’t as agile or swift in the water as it normally would be, the unparalleled Sword Intent attached to it made Master Kurong’s scalp tingle.

’I can’t take this strike head-on!’

In the unseen, his Spiritual Sense was screaming a warning at Master Kurong.

He directed his Jade Ruler to slam into his opponent, intending to use offense as his defense.

Then he put all his strength into swimming upward. He absolutely could not fight on a battlefield chosen by his enemy.

But just as he started to move, a force grabbed his foot and yanked him back.

Master Kurong looked and saw Master Qingqiu smiling sweetly at him, her eyes full of deep affection. The other end of the Red Silk in her hand was now wrapped around his leg.

"Master Qingqiu, why!" Master Kurong didn’t dare to curse her. He still held onto the fantasy that he could persuade her to change her mind and capture the little thief with him.

Master Qingqiu’s eyes glistened as if she were about to burst into tears. "I didn’t want to do this either! This man forced me! I’m sorry, Master Kurong, I really don’t want to betray the Master!"

’Wait, how did he force you?’

’He’s just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. What could he possibly use to force you?’

’You only just met for the first time! How could he possibly coerce you?’

’If you’re being blackmailed, just tell me! I’ll help you figure something out! You can’t just turn on me at the drop of a hat!’

Master Kurong’s mind was in a chaotic whirl. He could only react on pure instinct.

Master Qingqiu was not weak, and she had seized the initiative with her surprise attack. With Master Kurong’s Lifebound Treasure, the Jade Ruler, busy fending off the little thief, it was incredibly difficult for him to cope.

But his biggest headache was the Sword Intent behind him. It clung to him like a maggot on a bone, constantly locked onto him but holding back, continuously building its power.

’When this strike is finally unleashed, it could probably part the very sea.’

’Just who is this little thief, to possess such a piercing Sword Intent?’

Master Kurong didn’t dare let his mind wander. He held on desperately, planning to sever his tail to escape the moment he found an opportunity, and then wait for the Master to bring him justice.

Just then, a chill shot up from the soles of his feet. Without a second thought, Master Kurong prepared to flee immediately, even if it meant suffering heavy injuries, but Master Qingqiu’s Red Silk was wrapped tightly around him, making it impossible to break free.

"AH!" Master Kurong felt both his legs go numb. The elusive monkey was grinning foolishly, and thin trails of blood spread into the seawater from its claws, which were as sharp as any Treasure.

The sword strike from behind was finally unleashed.

Master Kurong forced his Magical Power to surge, spun around to face the attack, and recalled his Lifebound Treasure to protect his front, preparing to take the strike head-on.

The Flying Sword swam forward, carrying a Sword Intent that could sever anything. Master Kurong’s Lifebound Treasure, the Jade Ruler, met it. The moment they made contact, a look of terror appeared on Master Kurong’s withered face.

"No!"

He had been tricked!

This strike... that unparalleled, all-severing Sword Intent was just a facade.

The true core was an intent of absolute annihilation, a will to kill that aimed directly at extinguishing his life force!

He couldn’t dodge it, couldn’t block it, couldn’t receive it.

All he could do was die.

Master Kurong was not some ignorant cultivator from a Minor Sect.

He naturally recognized this Sword Intent and knew he was about to die by it.

At the moment of life and death, he stopped resisting and instead let his Lifebound Treasure, the Jade Ruler, fly from his grasp.

The Jade Ruler, infused with more than half his Magical Power, flew far away, carrying his final thoughts.

"Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture! It seems to be the Annihilating Sword Intent!"
