Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1460: Jinxed by My Own Mouth

The skeletal corpse was just a pile of bones, without any fluctuation of power.

It only had a remnant battle consciousness.

And its speed was insanely fast, so when it appeared, even Jing Wangyou didn’t notice.

Luckily Qin Yi’s eyes hadn’t recovered yet, so he was relying on Divine Thought to probe the way, and that was how he discovered the skeletal corpse.

But the opponent was too fast, so in a panic he could only kick the Jing Wufa brothers away.

"Take those two and get out of here, fast."

Qin Yi looked at Jing Wangyou as he spoke.

Jing Wangyou snapped out of it, his face full of lingering fear; with his level of Cultivation, he actually hadn’t noticed the skeletal corpse getting close.

"The two of us together..."

"Together my ass. This guy used to stand at the very peak. Even if he died and his Dao vanished, the remnant battle consciousness he left behind is still not something you or I can handle."

"You take them and leave, I’ll draw it away."

Qin Yi could feel that the skeletal corpse was coming for him.

More precisely, it was coming for the white bone severed arm in his hand.

"Jing Palace Master, see you outside."

The Phoenix Feather unfolded behind Qin Yi. With a beat of both wings, a piercing sonic boom rang out, and Qin Yi shot away like a streak of light.

Sure enough, the skeletal corpse turned into a streak of white light and went after Qin Yi.

"Father, what the hell is that thing?"

Jing Wufa’s face was full of shock.

Just now the two of them had been standing right behind Qin Yi; if Qin Yi hadn’t reacted quickly, their lives would’ve been hanging by a thread.

Jing Wangyou’s face was full of worry. "It’s an ancient powerhouse. Even its remnant battle consciousness isn’t something I can deal with."

"Then Brother Qin Yi..."

Jing Wangyou sighed. "All we can do now is pray to the heavens for him."

"We’d better get out of here. Young Friend Qin Yi is very capable; he should be fine."

The Jing Wufa brothers could both hear how powerless their father sounded.

The three of them burst into speed and swept toward the exit.

On the other side, Qin Yi pushed his speed to the limit.

His current speed had already broken three times the sound barrier; with a single step he crossed a kilometer.

However, the skeletal corpse was still locked onto him, refusing to let go; its speed was downright terrifying.

Qin Yi’s wings beat madly, his speed surging and kicking up shrill sonic booms.

But the skeletal corpse’s speed also surged.

"Fuck..."

Qin Yi cursed outright.

This skeletal corpse had no power to support it, yet just by relying on remnant battle consciousness, its speed was actually on par with his. That was way too damn scary.

Qin Yi could practically imagine what kind of spirited, glorious figure this person had once been.

Qin Yi reined in his thoughts.

Now was not the time to praise the guy; this bastard was trying to kill him.

His mind spun at high speed as he tried to think of a way out.

Just then, a set of broken Armor suddenly burst up out of the sand, ramming straight toward Qin Yi.

What the hell.

Qin Yi’s face turned ugly.

The weapons, bones, and Armor here all carried their owners’ former battle consciousness and could attack on their own.

He slammed out a punch, his fist force roaring.

Rolling Fist Light swept up wild sand, like a berserk earth Dragon blasting toward the broken Armor.

"Boom!"

A storm swept out, Blood Sand exploding everywhere.

The broken Armor was shattered into pieces by the impact.

Qin Yi let out a breath. Thankfully, the battle consciousness remaining on that Armor wasn’t strong; if it had been like the skeletal corpse, he’d be done for.

But the next second, his back went cold, his scalp crawling.

The broken Armor had still stalled him for a moment; the skeletal corpse had caught up.

Qin Yi roared, Purple Light surging all over his body as he swung the white bone severed arm in his hand in a sweeping strike.

"Bang!"

Bone clashed hard against bone.

A terrifying force surged over him like a tidal wave.

Qin Yi’s arms went numb from the shock, and his whole body was flung away.

In midair, Qin Yi twisted his body, using the rebound force. His wings beat once and he instantly darted several kilometers away.

From that head-on clash, Qin Yi had been blasted back. The skeletal corpse, although it hadn’t been knocked flying, had also paused for a moment.

By the time it chased after Qin Yi, Qin Yi was already ten thousand meters away.

The Phoenix Feather beat madly, Qin Yi’s speed flaring.

There was hope of escape.

"Hahaha..."

Qin Yi laughed wildly. "Thanks for seeing me off—no next time!"

The next second, though, Qin Yi was screwed.

A Broken Sword shot up out of the sand, turning into a fierce radiance that streaked toward Qin Yi.

"Holy shit..."

The curses Qin Yi had spat in this short span were almost enough to match several years’ worth.

Qin Yi swung the white bone severed arm in a horizontal sweep.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew as the Broken Sword exploded into fragments.

But the shrill sound of something cleaving the air closed in; the skeletal corpse had caught up again.

Qin Yi flapped like an old hen, wings going crazy as he shot out like lightning.

The skeletal corpse stayed right on his tail.

The two of them were like a pair of earth Dragons, whipping up storm winds and sand as they tore across the desert.

One in front and one behind, one fleeing and one chasing, they covered several li in an instant.

Qin Yi gave a bitter laugh, utterly helpless. This wasn’t going to work. That thing never got tired; he, on the other hand, was a living person and would.

If this kept up, the skeletal corpse wouldn’t even need to make a move; he’d die of exhaustion on his own.

His mind spun rapidly, searching for a way out.

Suddenly, Qin Yi’s eyes lit up.

Usually, that meant he had an idea.

But Qin Yi wasn’t very excited. Instead he mocked himself, "Qin Yi, you’re really thick as a brick. How did you not think of something this simple sooner?"

The idea was... flight.

The skeletal corpse only had remnant battle consciousness and no Cultivation. Without Cultivation to support it, it naturally couldn’t fly.

Qin Yi soared into the air.

Sure enough, the skeletal corpse came to a stop right beneath his feet.

"Hahaha... come up here then."

"Now you know what a freak is, right? Yours truly really is the embodiment of beauty and wisdom."

"So what if your combat power’s strong? If you’ve got the guts, fly up here and bite me. Brainless piece of junk."

Qin Yi started showing off.

The skeletal corpse suddenly turned into a streak of white light and shot straight up.

Qin Yi was scared out of his wits. Was his damn mouth enchanted or something? The guy really did fly up to bite him.

This was bullshit. How do you fly without Cultivation?

Qin Yi felt his IQ had been insulted; everything in this space was beyond his understanding.

On reflex, Qin Yi’s wings beat once and his body instantly shot higher.

The skeletal corpse shot up a hundred meters, then ran out of follow-through and plummeted straight down.

With a thud, over half its body rammed into the sand, leaving only its skull sticking out.

Qin Yi was completely dumbfounded.

But he quickly understood: the skeletal corpse couldn’t fly, but its jumping ability was insane.

Jumping a hundred meters high—was this guy made of springs? It was downright monstrous.

"Scared your dad half to death."

Qin Yi patted his chest; he really had been frightened just now.

If this thing really could fly, he’d be in big trouble.

Looking at the skeletal corpse with its body buried in the sand and only its skull exposed, Qin Yi’s mouth got cheap again. "That’s more like it. You’re already dead, you should be sleeping quietly underground."

"I know you used to be somebody, a real hero. A great hero should die on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide."

"Now that your bones are sunk in the sand, just tuck your head in too and bury yourself. I’ll respect you as a real man."
