Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#261 - Chapter 260 Eye of Medusa

"Hmm?" Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow. "That is..."

Before Li Chenqiu could finish his sentence, the two purple dots seemed to have discovered something. They suddenly shot out at extreme speed, like shooting stars, dragging purple trails of light as they rapidly approached Li Chenqiu.

"Not good!"

Li Chenqiu's heart leaped. He supported himself with one hand and tilted his body to the right.

Medusa wanted to kill him earlier, so these purple dots were likely her backup plan.

However, compared to the purple dots, Li Chenqiu was still too slow. Two "whoosh, whoosh" sounds echoed as the two purple dots shot straight into Li Chenqiu's eyes, melting into his black pupils like water.

The next second, a line of golden characters appeared before his eyes.

[Medusa's Eyes: Petrification Imprisonment Ability]

When Li Chenqiu saw the last character, the golden words slowly disappeared.

Li Chenqiu stood up, touching his eyes, and said, "Medusa's Eyes, is this a new ability?"

Feeling the new energy within his body, Li Chenqiu's face lit up with joy. He said to Menghuo, "Grab a few people over here."

Menghuo nodded, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. He quickly brought several people of different ages to Li Chenqiu.

The people were still immersed in the illusion, looking around with dazed expressions.

Li Chenqiu walked up to them and activated the Medusa's Eyes. His deep black pupils instantly turned deep purple.

"That is?"

Li Chenqiu's gaze narrowed. After activating the Medusa's Eyes, he saw an unknown gas flowing around in the body of one of the middle-aged men. He could vaguely see a thin line extending from the space between his eyebrows, connecting to the unknown gas.

"Could this be an ability?"

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu hurriedly lowered his head to look at his own body. What came into view was a mass of unknown gases of different colors, as chaotic as a mixed stew.

Li Chenqiu silently counted the number of gases in his mind. It matched the number of his abilities.

"It really is an ability, petrification imprisonment… Is this the reason I can't use my abilities?"

Li Chenqiu muttered to himself. He slowly raised his head and focused his attention on the middle-aged man from before, his deep purple eyes rotating inward.

The next second, the gas in the middle-aged man's body instantly compressed inward, turning into a fiery red dot, stopping motionless in the lower abdomen.

This person's ability was imprisoned by Li Chenqiu.

"As expected." Li Chenqiu thought to himself. Then, he looked into the middle-aged man's eyes, his deep purple eyes rotating again.

Crack, crack—

Accompanied by a sound similar to water droplets freezing into ice, the middle-aged man's eyes gradually lost their luster, replaced by a grayish-white color. The same was true for other parts of his body. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a lifelike statue.

"An unexpected surprise!"

Li Chenqiu grinned, reaching out and gently stroking his masterpiece.

...

Under Menghuo's illusion, in just a few minutes, everyone on the plaza was slaughtered. Corpses piled up together, and the pungent smell of blood lingered for a long time.

Li Chenqiu walked to the edge of the plaza and whispered, "It's time to wake up."

As soon as he finished speaking, one humanoid soul soldier after another crawled out of the pile of corpses, a dark mass occupying the entire plaza, the scene extremely terrifying.

Li Chenqiu glanced over roughly and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Menghuo brought the heavily injured Zhu Yuan to Li Chenqiu. "Master, the person is here."

As he spoke, Menghuo threw the dying Zhu Yuan to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

Zhu Yuan lay on the ground, constantly coughing up blood, coupled with his mottled white hair, he looked extremely miserable.

Li Chenqiu squatted down and patted Zhu Yuan's face. "Can you still hear me?"

Zhu Yuan raised his head with a look of horror and stammered, "C-can... can."

Li Chenqiu grabbed Zhu Yuan's hair and pointed to his brow. "Get rid of this broken pattern, and I'll let you die a little easier. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Uh..." Zhu Yuan stared blankly at Li Chenqiu's brow. "Get rid of what?"

Li Chenqiu frowned slightly. "Divine mark."

Zhu Yuan asked cautiously, "What divine mark?"

"Oh, you're a tough bone!" The corners of Li Chenqiu's mouth hooked up. He released Zhu Yuan's head and slowly stood up, looking down at him. "I'll ask you again in a minute. I hope you think carefully before answering."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu raised his arm and waved his hand. The soul soldiers standing beside him immediately stepped forward and began to torture Zhu Yuan in an inhuman way.

"Ahhh!!!"

A minute later, Li Chenqiu squatted down again in front of Zhu Yuan and grabbed his head. "Have you thought about how to answer?"

Zhu Yuan weakly opened his eyes. "What... what do I... I have to answer?"

Li Chenqiu smiled and asked, "Do you want to get rid of the divine mark on my brow?"

Zhu Yuan raised his head, his eyes scattered as he looked at Li Chenqiu's brow. "There's no... no divine mark..."

"The divine mark on my brow... Hmm?" Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at the soul soldier beside him. "Is there a divine mark on my brow?"

The soul soldier shook his head. "No."

Li Chenqiu touched his brow in surprise and said subconsciously, "Then why didn't any of you tell me?"

The soul soldier honestly replied, "You didn't ask us."

Li Chenqiu's face darkened. At this moment, he suddenly experienced the sense of powerlessness that Xiang Nanzhi had when facing him.

"Uh..." Li Chenqiu lowered his head to look at the unrecognizable Zhu Yuan. "Clear things up a bit in your next life, so as not to be misunderstood."

After speaking, Li Chenqiu's gaze turned cold. His right arm quickly reached out and grabbed Zhu Yuan's neck, his five fingers exerting a little force.

Crack!

Zhu Yuan—died!

The Human-Snake Tribe—destroyed!

...

...

On the boundless sea, countless ghost ships sailed in the same direction.

"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred."

After Li Chenqiu finished counting the stack of spirit coin cards in his hand, he tied them up with a rubber band and placed them aside.

In front of him, there was a mountain of spirit coin cards. Several soul soldiers sat around the pile of spirit coin cards, doing the same thing as Li Chenqiu.

Xiang Nanzhi, who had finished eating her self-heating hot pot, walked behind Li Chenqiu, looking at this scene speechlessly. "Are you sick in the head? These spirit coin cards can't be used in the Tianyuan Federation. What are you collecting them for?"

Li Chenqiu said without turning his head, "Maybe they'll be useful in the future. Go do your thing, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

"You!"

Xiang Nanzhi raised her arm to strike, but when she saw Li Chenqiu's soul soldiers, she timidly retracted her hand.

"Li Chenqiu, when I get back into my original body, if I don't hang you up and beat you, my name isn't Xiang!"

Xiang Nanzhi secretly swore in her heart, turning her head to look at the two bodies lying on the deck.

Xiang Nanzhi, who was overwhelmed by the desire for revenge, didn't realize that her last name wasn't Xiang in the first place.

"By the way!" Li Chenqiu straightened up and slightly tilted his head. "Don't tell anyone else about this place after you go back for the time being."

Xiang Nanzhi scratched her head. "Why can't I say it?"

"Exclusive enjoyment and sharing, which one do you think is better? Even if we want to turn exclusive enjoyment into sharing, it must be based on the situation where we have already made enough profit."

Xiang Nanzhi nodded. "Hmm... that's right. It won't be too late to tell King Yama and the others when I have created several abilities."
