God-Like Extraction

As soon as he said that, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to stare at Su Jingxing's Essence Soul again, the latter had already put down the Thunder Dragon eye guard and stopped releasing its divine power.

To be precise, the ability of the Eye of Panic had been fully unleashed. Without Pei Donglai noticing, it had left a mark in his heart.

"Three days later, Ten Thousand Arrows Island in the Eastern Sea.

Su Jingxing's Essence Soul chuckled inwardly and said, "This is the time and location of the battle. I hope Sword Sage Pei will arrive on time."

"…Sure."

Pei Donglai blurted a word with a solemn expression.

Then, with a flash, he turned illusory and quickly left through the air.

Hu!

Seeing Pei Donglai disappear, the others heaved a sigh of relief and subconsciously calmed down.

"Call me again if you need anything."

With that, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul also soared into the sky and disappeared.

Guan Zhonghua, Luo Shan, Xiao Renwo, and the others were silent.

After a while——

"The Martial Sage is angry," Fu Neng said softly.

"If it were you, you would be angry too," Xiao Renwo said calmly. "Not many people will like Sword Sage Pei's personality."

"This is trouble appearing out of nowhere." Luo Shan sighed. "Sword Sage Pei has challenged so many people. No one who is targeted by him can escape."

"Um, do you guys think Martial Sage Kong will win the duel in three days?" Luo Xuangong asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Guan Zhonghua shook his head. "Sword Sage Pei is publicly acknowledged as the number one expert in the world. Martial Sage Kong also has illustrious achievements. He just killed a Barbarian God, but it's unknown if he can defeat Sword Sage Pei."

"Is there a 50% chance?" Luo Xuangong clenched his fists.

"Maybe, maybe not," Xiao Renwo said in a low voice.

"Nonsense." Ao Chunqiu rolled his eyes at him. "Although it's not quite nice, I still think that Sword Sage Pei has a higher chance of winning."

"…You just think so lowly of Martial Sage Kong?" Guan Zhonghua narrowed his eyes.

The others remained silent.

"It's not a matter of opinion, but the facts are right in front of us," Ao Chunqiu analyzed. "Even if Martial Sage Kong is really in the Primordial Spirit realm, it has definitely only been a few days since he broke through. One is a new Primordial Spirit, and the other is a veteran Primordial Spirit. Moreover, Sword Sage Pei walks the path of invincibility. His sword Dao is most focused on killing, and his offensive power is astonishing. The chances of Martial Sage Kong winning are too low."

Silence.

The others continued to remain silent.

Yes, one had just advanced, and the other had been in the Primordial Spirit realm for decades. How could they compare?

…

How could they compare? Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had already thrown the matter to the back of its mind the moment it released its divine power.

The Eyes of Panic had already left a fear imprint in Pei Donglai's heart. Unless Pei Donglai possessed a truly fearless heart, and had never been afraid of anything since he gained consciousness, or, could forcefully erase the imprint with a divine power that countered it, or, could use the willpower of those in the Life Void realm and above to melt the imprint, Pei Donglai would feel fear the moment he saw Su Jingxing.

This fear would continue to intensify.

Until it completely occupied Pei Donglai's mind. If he did not have a certain level of willpower to resist, he would be scared to death!

This was the might of the divine power, the Eyes of Panic.

Without needing to make a move, one could silently kill an opponent!

…

Had Pei Donglai ever been afraid of anything?

Of course.

It happened when he was very young, about three years old.

Pei Donglai had already forgotten the specific details.

He only remembered a person visiting his house and bringing him a furry rabbit as a gift.

The little rabbit was very cute and fun. The young Pei Donglai fell in love with it at first sight.

Moreover, from that day onwards, he delivered vegetables to the little rabbit every day, fed it water, washed its hair, and covered it with a blanket…

The young Pei Donglai treated the little rabbit as his best friend.

At one point, they even slept together.

Until one day, the young Pei Donglai got angry for some reason. He grabbed the little rabbit and grabbed and bit it hard.

In the end, it angered the little rabbit that was never angry. The red-eyed little rabbit quickly bit the young Pei Donglai's hand.

A mark was immediately left on his tender hand, and trickles of blood appeared.

The young Pei Donglai was so frightened that he burst into tears.

From then on, the red-eyed rabbit became a trauma in Pei Donglai's heart, a nightmare in his mind. He would wake up in shock and cry non-stop.

It wasn't until he was five or six years old that he buried this memory deep in his heart.

For so many years, he had never remembered it.

But today, this memory suddenly surged out!

Without any warning, as Pei Donglai was leaving the Yu Nation and returning to the Zheng Nation, this memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Moreover, what flustered Pei Donglai was that he couldn't control himself.

The red-eyed little rabbit was like the most terrifying Ancient Demon. It became increasingly clearer and bigger in his mind.

Pei Donglai, who was flying through the air, swayed and fell through the air. He landed on a mountain with an ugly expression.

"What's going on? What exactly is going on?"

Sword energy surged crazily from his body, wreaking havoc in the surroundings, slicing through trees and causing pits to appear on the ground.

Pei Donglai's eyes were wide. He clenched his fists, his body trembling as he growled.

"What went wrong? What exactly went wrong?!"

Suppressing the sudden burst of fear, Pei Donglai gritted his teeth and growled, thinking about the cause and effect.

Firstly, before coming to the Yu Nation, there had never been any abnormalities.

After arriving at the Yu Nation, he descended to the square and revealed his true body. There was nothing abnormal either.

Sensing the arrival of Kong Xuan, he rushed to the imperial palace to meet him. They agreed to fight, but there was still nothing…

No!

Suddenly, Pei Donglai woke up with a start. He recalled every bit of his meeting with Kong Xuan.

In the next moment, Pei Donglai gritted his teeth and growled, "It's him!"

It was Kong Xuan!

Pei Donglai recalled that when Kong Xuan was talking to him, he suddenly revealed his eyes and stared at Pei Donglai for a long time.

At that time, Pei Donglai did not react, nor did he notice the danger. He thought that Kong Xuan had revealed his eyes as an indignant and provocative response.

Now that he thought about it, he finally understood. Kong Xuan had attacked him at that moment and used an unknown power to breed fear in him.

"What a newly advanced Martial Sage. He's comparable to a Primordial Spirit."

Pei Donglai growled and clenched his fists. Sword energy enveloped his body and wreaked havoc on the ground. With dull thuds, huge pits appeared on the ground.

Dust and rubble flew into the air.

Pei Donglai gritted his teeth, his eyes cold. "The duel had already begun earlier, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure soared into the sky. Countless sword energies turned into a light barrier and carried Pei Donglai's body back towards the Yu Nation.

Since Kong Xuan had already made a move, Pei Donglai had to receive it and counterattack at the same time!

But the problem was…

Before he even got close to the Yu Nation, Pei Donglai suddenly stopped in his tracks. His heart was racing.

An incomparable fear overwhelmed him.

I can't go forward!

I can't go any further!

Pei Donglai growled inwardly, his expression extremely grim.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, the fear from the bottom of his heart sobered him up. He couldn't enter the Yu Nation again!

The closer he got to the Yu Nation, the more agile the red-eyed rabbit became. It jumped, grinned, and bit in his mind!

This was a warning from his heart that he could not enter the Yu Nation!

Realizing this, the muscles on Pei Donglai's face twitched, and his eyes were filled with shame and anger.

D*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it!

Kong Xuan had made his move, but he could only passively defend and not counterattack.

He could not and dare not even meet Kong Xuan again.

Ever since he became a martial artist, this was the first time Pei Donglai had suffered such a great humiliation.

In an instant, this humiliation even suppressed the fear in his heart and gave him the upper hand. Pei Donglai's eyes turned red, white smoke rose from his head, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He wanted to settle scores with Kong Xuan, even if it was landing a punch.

But…

However, the fear in his heart kept deepening and triggering Pei Donglai even more crazily. He could not and did not dare to go to Kong Xuan!
