I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 80. I Died

Xia Feng ignored the king's sarcasm and stared blankly at the woman in the red dress.

Seeing Xia Feng seemingly mesmerized, the King frowned slightly and sneered inwardly. How dare he covet my wife? He truly doesn't know his place.

Thinking it over, he didn't bother to pay any more attention. He turned around, picked up his daughter, and headed toward the dream machine, but suddenly froze halfway there.

He recalled the princess's words from earlier, "Xia Feng, when did you arrive?"

Wang Jue sensed something was wrong.

Is this the first time the princess has spoken to a stranger?

Moreover, they called out my name precisely and asked a very strange question: When did you arrive?
It made it seem like the two knew each other. Wang Jue felt a strange unease, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He glanced back at the man outside, his brow furrowed in thought for a moment, then let out a cold laugh:
"Fine, let's just take care of this brat, shall we?"

Since there was unease, he decided to nip any potential sources of misfortune in the bud. With that thought, he glanced at Li Hongdou.

His original plan was to have Li Hongdou enter a real dream constructed by a nightmare, where she would witness Xia Feng's life being threatened, and then force her to acknowledge him as her mother.

But now that Xia Feng has delivered himself to our doorstep, there's no need to continue with this alternative plan.

After all, constructing an incredibly realistic dream is extremely difficult and time-consuming. Based on past experimental experience, it would take at least three or four hours, during which time there are too many variables.

Why not seize this opportunity to capture Xia Feng and nip the ominous source of his unease in the bud!
The only risk is having to leave the boundless field barrier, but that risk is worth taking.

After all, there are no fourth-tier spirit masters outside. As long as no one can kill him instantly, he is safe.

Moreover, Xia Feng is only a minor first-level spirit master.

Xia Feng stared at the princess for a while, then slowly closed his eyes, his heart beating slightly faster.

Sure enough, his previous judgment was correct! He and the princess really could form a contract! He felt something was wrong when he brought the mushroom in, and now that he's back, he's finally confirmed it.

A flood of information rushed into his mind, and he extracted a few key points from the chaotic sea of ​​information.

【Guhua※Disaster Contract】

[Birthday: Today - 19 hours remaining]

[Status of Belonging to Master: Belonged to Master (Xia Feng)]

[Linkability: 38% 39% 40%]

[Status (Abnormal): Imaginary Number Curse, weak survival power, unable to complete incarnation]

I didn't have this feeling when I saw the princess at the banquet, but today it might be because it's her birthday.
Of course, what puzzled him even more was that even though the birth ceremony hadn't been completed and the existence power hadn't been confirmed, why could he inexplicably gain the princess's recognition as his master?

Also, when did he receive the princess's recognition as his master?

Had some ritual taken place that he was unaware of? Xia Feng was filled with a million questions, utterly perplexed.

Just as he was lost in thought, the sight of a king emerging from the Boundless Field startled him. He snapped back to reality and looked over, his gaze filled with confusion.
"What are you doing out here?"

The king felt that this young man was a bit dull; was he really so captivated by his wife?

He sneered disdainfully, stomped his foot, and dark purple spiritual robes ignited around him. Spiritual pressure slowly rippled outwards from him, and as the air surged, purple flames burst forth from the robes, coalescing into spinning arrows.

"Boy, let's see how many moves you can withstand from me." Twelve purple flame arrows, which were floating around him, shot down simultaneously toward Xia Feng's face, rapidly magnifying in Xia Feng's pupils.

Thunderclap—Xia Feng's feet flashed like lightning, and in the blink of an eye amidst the arrow barrage, he arrived directly above the King's head. Like a slam dunk, he gripped his broadsword tightly and brought it down with three waves of blood! The King's head was cleaved in two from head to toe!
'Bang!' The floor cracked and shattered as the body, split in two, disintegrated into purple petals and slowly fell to the ground.

Xia Feng turned around calmly. Not far away, a middle-aged man in an elegant deep red tuxedo was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by countless purple petals. His expression was slightly surprised: "Your spiritual pressure intensity... is that of a second-tier spiritual master?"

[Linkability: 54%-55%]

Xia Feng shrugged and smiled: "Obviously."

Seeing the young man's confident and relaxed demeanor, Wang Jue's lips curled up: "You've advanced from the first rank to the second rank in less than a month. Young man, you are indeed a rare genius, but unfortunately, you've chosen the wrong side."

"Yes, you're absolutely right." Xia Feng's expression suddenly turned serious. "So, Your Highness, could you elaborate on the benefits of following you?"

Seeing that Xia Feng still wanted to chat with him and seemed to be stalling for time, Wang Jue guessed that this kid might have some reinforcements coming.

So, too lazy to waste any more words, an idea popped into my head.

Swish—Xia Feng blinked and looked down, only to find three arrows piercing his chest, abdomen, and brow from behind.

It must have been the purple petals that had just fallen that gathered into arrows and aimed at him from behind while he was talking to the king.

He couldn't possibly dodge at such close range, but when the crisis struck, he didn't choose to use any of his trump cards for defense.

"Boy, being distracted during battle is a major taboo." Wang Jue said calmly, walking slowly toward Xia Feng's corpse with his hands behind his back, and squatting down to collect his soul.

But after examining the body with the Soul Stone, he discovered that there was no soul within it. Wang Jue looked puzzled and pressed his hand against the body's brow. He was quite certain that the physical body was real, not an illusion or some kind of elemental clone.

"what's the situation?"

Wang Jue felt increasingly that this Xia fellow was extremely strange. He stood up with a gloomy face and looked around.

"Come out, I know you're nearby."

Xia Feng's current state is very peculiar. He originally thought that after dying from using the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor, his soul would instantly leave his body and then reassemble into his physical body.

But after he actually died, he discovered that this was not the case.

His current perspective is a bizarre 360-degree view, allowing him to see every part of the room clearly—a complete God's-eye view!
He felt as if he had become the world itself, omnipresent, the chairs, tables, scientific instruments, even the dew and air; his soul was hidden within the world itself.

His current state is simply invincible!

Well, he can't hit anyone, and no one can hit him during his invincibility period.

[Nirvana state remaining: 4 seconds]

Unfortunately, this invincible state only lasts for fifteen seconds, after which he must choose a respawn point, otherwise he will be forced to respawn on the spot.

"Kid, I see you. Come out." Wang Jue said with a sneer, his face dark.

"You saw nothing!" Xia Feng rolled his eyes, even though he didn't have eyes now.

It's a pity he can't reassemble his body inside the living organism, otherwise he could have instantly killed the King. It's just a bit disgusting.

While I was pondering, the time came.
