Chapter 4299
After listening to Di Chongjing’s remarks, Kai chose not to press further, realizing that some matters were best directed to Patriarch Jiang.
“Patriarch Jiang, I’ll leave the decision regarding this fellow to you!”
Kai said, casting a glance at Patriarch Jiang.
As Di Chongjing was the junior brother of Patriarch Jiang and had harmed numerous disciples of the Soul Demon Sect, it seemed fitting to let Patriarch Jiang determine his fate.
Patriarch Jiang approached Di Chongjing, who, sensing the impending confrontation, quickly fell to his knees and began to weep. “Senior brother, please spare me! All of this was commanded by my senior brother and second senior brother!”
“Among our four disciples, Master favored you the most, while I have always been the least liked.”
“I possess the weakest strength and talent; without relying on blood sucking and bone gnawing to cultivate, I wouldn’t have achieved this level in my life.”
“Elder brother, I recognize my mistakes; I implore you to forgive me this time…”
Remorse filled Di Chongjing’s face as he sobbed!
Patriarch Jiang observed him with a conflicted expression, his eyes betraying a sense of compassion!
However, just as Patriarch Jiang hesitated, Di Chongjing’s eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of malice, and his entire body began to expand as his aura surged violently through his meridians!
This man was actually preparing to self-destruct; a Mahayana realm first-grade cultivator detonating himself could potentially annihilate the entire Soul Demon Sect!
“He’s going to blow himself up…”
Kai’s eyes widened in shock; he hadn’t anticipated that Di Chongjing would have the audacity to self-detonate!
The act of kneeling and pleading for mercy had clearly been a ruse!
Patriarch Jiang was equally taken aback, panic coursing through him; after all, he was powerless to stop a Mahayana realm cultivator’s self-detonation!
If Di Chongjing succeeded, the Soul Demon Sect would be utterly destroyed!
As Kai rushed towards Di Chongjing, he suddenly saw a bright light erupting from Di Chongjing’s body!
It turned out that he wasn’t planning to self-destruct after all; instead, his divine soul was escaping his physical form, seeking to abandon his body for a chance at freedom!
As long as his divine soul remained intact, he could reconstruct his physical form!
After all, as Patriarch Jiang’s senior brother, if Patriarch Jiang could reconstruct his body, Di Chongjing could do so as well!
Moreover, with the eldest and second eldest brothers still around, as long as he managed to escape, he would be safe!
Once Di Chongjing’s divine soul separated from his body, it shot away without hesitation!
Meanwhile, his physical body swelled like a balloon, culminating in a thunderous explosion!
Boom!
The power of a Mahayana realm self-detonation was immense; however, without the divine soul, the explosion’s impact was significantly diminished!
At the moment of detonation, Kai raised a shield to shield himself from the explosion’s aftermath!
But as the chaos subsided, Di Chongjing’s divine soul had vanished without a trace!
“Damn it, this guy is too cunning, managing to escape…”
Kai couldn’t help but curse upon realizing what had happened!
Then, he turned his attention to the remaining disciples of the Blood and Bone Sect, swiftly executing them with a decisive strike!
“Mr. Chen, it’s entirely my fault; my hesitation allowed Di Chongjing to slip away!”
Patriarch Jiang expressed his deep regret!
“Patriarch Jiang, it’s not your fault; no one expected him to be so treacherous.”
“You should focus on organizing the Soul Demon Sect’s disciples while I prepare some healing pills for them!”
Kai didn’t lay blame on Patriarch Jiang; he recognized his own responsibility in allowing Di Chongjing to escape!
The priority was to tend to the injured disciples of the Soul Demon Sect!
With little time to waste, Kai hurried to act!
Seeing this urgency, Patriarch Jiang nodded and quickly organized care for the severely injured disciples!
Kai proceeded to assess the injuries of the Soul Demon Sect disciples and began crafting medicines!
It took a full day for Kai to treat all the injured disciples, but with regular medication, they would soon recover!
