Berserk God of War

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: A Person Worth Befriending

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing asked again: ”Brother Chou, you seem to always trust me?”

From the moment of channeling True Qi without a blink, to swallowing the Detoxification Pill, and now to asking for help...

Did Chou Zhan never suspect that I might have ulterior motives?

One must realize, at any moment, I could easily kill him, especially during detoxification when he didn’t know who I was.

”I was dying, had no choice, only to gamble.”

Chou Zhan responded with a hoarse voice, with a slight sense of helplessness mixed with cruelty, then continued: ”Seeking medical help, I could only gamble on Gongyang Ying within the Overlord Commerce, and now I can only gamble on Brother Sikong who has a vendetta with the Three Great Academies.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing fell silent, Chou Zhan couldn’t trust any doctor or powerful figure within Zhanwu City.

Therefore, he could only bet on Gongyang Ying, who had no negative rumors within Overlord Commerce, ensuring that only in Overlord Commerce his safety could be secured, or else at any moment he might be assassinated by those sending the Moon Swallowing Beast.

He couldn’t be certain there were no chasers behind him.

Nor could he ascertain whether the doctors in Zhanwu City had been ordered to kill him.

He had been deeply poisoned before, truly with no other choice.

And now, he’s betting on his enemy of the Three Great Academies, wagering that they can help each other.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing sighed inwardly.

Chou Zhan, though solitary, is extremely intelligent and brave, also exceedingly resilient.

”Alright, I’ll try for you.”

With that, Sikong Jing moved step by step toward the corpse of Chou Zhan’s master.

And then he reached out his finger to the corpse’s forehead, and his Spiritual Platform Sea Power instantly penetrated the consciousness of the corpse.

Suddenly, the nearly always expressionless Chou Zhan’s eyes widened, shocked: ”Dao Inquiry Realm, opening the Spiritual Platform Sea.”

Originally, he wanted to use the Iron Bone Flying Vulture’s power, but instead saw such a terrifying scene.

And he didn’t know that Sikong Jing opened the Spiritual Platform not in the Dao Inquiry Realm, but during the Daoist Martial Realm.

Ignoring him, Sikong Jing continued to probe deeper, seeking something different in the shattered Spiritual Platform Sea of the corpse.

Soon, his eyes flashed with brilliance.

The Spiritual Platform Sea Power wrapped around the traces of breath not belonging to Beichou Sword Sect, his finger gave a quick tug, and a faint Spiritual Platform Sea Power was fished out of the corpse...

It was precisely the covert attack of this hidden power that forced Chou Zhan’s master to perish with the Moon Swallowing Beast.

And when the force flashed out, Chou Zhan’s eyes chilled with cold light, a raspy voice squeezed from between his teeth: ”Heavenly Dao Academy.”

This breath indeed belonged to Heavenly Dao Academy.

Soon, the breath dissipated in Sikong Jing’s hand, he displayed a cold expression: ”It’s indeed the Heavenly Dao Academy, seems your enemy can be identified. But Brother Chou, don’t act rashly.”

”Recently, powerful figures from Heavenly Dao Sacred Land arrived in the Central Plains; I’m afraid they handed treasures to the Heavenly Dao Academy.”

”The Moon Swallowing Beast might be one of them.”

With that, Sikong Jing refrained from speaking further, clasped his hands, and said: ”Although the Heavenly Dao Academy is also hostile toward me, I can’t help you for now; I’m also entangled in troubles, so I’m taking my leave for now.”

Seeing Sikong Jing about to leave, Chou Zhan suddenly called out: ”Brother Sikong, I owe you one, as long as I live, I will repay.”

”Also, I possess the War Body, not the rumored Nine-grade Heavenly Vein.”

This last sentence made Sikong Jing pause briefly, then he smiled.

Without further words, he clasped his hands and disappeared in front of Chou Zhan.

Chou Zhan’s last sentence clearly meant that, by revealing the Spiritual Platform Sea Power to help identify the enemy of his master, he was paying back with a secret of his own.

But Chou Zhan didn’t know that Sikong Jing had already detected it when he helped diagnose his injuries.

”Chou Zhan, a character worthy of befriending,” Sikong Jing murmured to himself.

Precisely because Chou Zhan was worthy, Sikong Jing exposed the Spiritual Platform Sea Power before him.

Because people like him would absolutely never betray himself.

As long as he could resolve Ju Dan’s revenge and smoothly participate in the quota battle, then he should have Chou Zhan as a battle ally.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing couldn’t help but curl his lips.

”Perhaps, there might be another Moon Soul Battle Body...”

”I wonder if Gongyang Ying has the courage.”

The help he extended to Gongyang Ying by voice for Chou Zhan detoxification was due to her kindness.

The action of disciplining Ling Feiyan and others came from a gut reaction, acting out of discomfort...

But from start to finish, Sikong Jing had no intention to recruit Gongyang Ying, as she might not like to fight alongside him, and furthermore, bullying her so much seemed unfair to persuade further participation.

He didn’t want to involve her in Ren Dongmeng’s death incident...

After leaving, Sikong Jing naturally didn’t return to Overlord Commerce but went back to the Immortal Treasures Building, naturally to find Senior Brother Lang for a night’s stay, and to see if Lang Zhengzhi had any new information.

”Hmm?”

At the moment he stepped into the range of the Immortal Treasures Building.

A potent aura surged around him, though subtle, was absolutely beyond his ability to resist.

The aura carried the slaughter of the battlefield and the pressure of powerful figures.

Sikong Jing frowned slightly but then strode forward without hesitation, expressionless, his steps steady, moving into this atmosphere of slaughter oppression, soon arriving at the door of the Immortal Treasures Building.

As Sikong Jing halted... clang!

The sound of clashing metal resonated, a more violent aura burst upon Sikong Jing, and the Iron Bone Flying Vulture on his shoulder couldn’t help but cry out, intending to enlarge itself against the oppressive aura.

Yet, Sikong Jing remained expressionless: ”What are you afraid of, there’s no hostility.”

A single sentence, carrying the authority of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, penetrated into the Sea of Consciousness of the Iron Bone Flying Vulture, causing the latter to feel protected by a high-rank demon beast, calming its mind and settling back on Sikong Jing’s shoulder.

Cre-eak...

At this moment, the door of the Immortal Treasures Building opened, and a flaming figure walked out.

The figure bore extraordinary beauty with a hint of enchanting demon charm power, naturally it was Hua Meixi who had just left Overlord Commerce.

She was, of course, there waiting for Sikong Jing as Lang Zhengzhi said Sikong Jing might return to the Immortal Treasures Building.

Sikong Jing’s eyes briefly fixed on her face, then withdrew without a ripple and looked around.

Unbeknownst to him, silhouettes had already appeared around, each one a terrifying Reverse Soul Realm.

The flame-colored battle armor woman before him was a terrifying existence beyond the Reverse Soul Realm, and she still so young... But Sikong Jing’s intuition judged this woman to definitely not be an Old Monster cloaked as a young girl akin to Wunian Saint Sect.

As Sikong Jing kept observing, Hua Meixi was observing him as well.

Upon seeing Sikong Jing’s glance linger less than a breath on her face, Hua Meixi’s eyes flashed subtly, and seeing Sikong Jing with only one arm left, she frowned slightly.

Lastly, seeing his unwavering expression, she revealed a hint of appreciation.

”Sikong Jing, how did you know we have no hostility?” Finally, Hua Meixi asked.
