Chapter 148 God Killing
"If there's a valuable treasure or an item I like, I might consider returning the Grim Reaper's Scythe to you..."
"really?"
“Of course…” Li Qing drawled, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Li Qing's claim that he would return the Grim Reaper's scythe to Death was obviously a lie.
How could Lee Sin possibly return the Grim Reaper's Scythe to the Grim Reaper? The difference in strength between a Grim Reaper with and without the Grim Reaper's Scythe is like night and day.
Give the Grim Reaper's scythe back to Death, and he might just come at Li Qing with it the next second.
At the same time, Li Qing was filled with doubt and vigilance, and he had reservations about the fact that the Grim Reaper had taken the initiative to seek peace.
Li Qing pondered to himself, "Could this just be a trick played by Death? Perhaps it's merely a strategy to buy time and wait for a turning point. He must still have some trump cards up his sleeve to save his life!"
Therefore, Li Qing was fully focused on guarding against death, not daring to relax in the slightest, and was ready to launch a fatal attack on death at any time!
Meanwhile, Death, on the other side, also harbored suspicions about Li Qing and absolutely did not believe that the other party truly intended to reconcile.
After all, just a few minutes ago, the two of them were fighting to the death.
Having gone through this battle, the two have already developed a deep-seated hatred for each other. Now, how easy would it be to easily put aside their prejudices and turn hostility into friendship!
......
A tiny spatial rift appeared in front of Death, who was reaching into the rift to retrieve his treasured artifact.
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound rang in Death's ears as the sharp scythe of Death cleaved down toward Death's neck with unstoppable force!
The wary Grim Reaper suddenly sensed a powerful and deadly threat rapidly approaching him, but when he tried to dodge, it was too late!
Just as he expected, Li Qing had no chance of letting him go.
Driven by the instinct for survival, he hastily raised his left hand to try and block Li Qing's attack.
But how could such a weak defense possibly withstand the sharp scythe of death?
In the blink of an eye, the Grim Reaper's scythe slashed across Death's left arm and continued toward his neck with astonishing speed.
Death stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment and fear, never expecting that he would ultimately die by his own weapon.
He died under the scythe of death, the one who fought alongside him, who instilled fear in countless lives, and who reaped countless deaths.
laugh!
The Grim Reaper's head detached from his body instantly and fell into the sea along with the rest of his body.
Death's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to bulge out, filled with disbelief and resentment.
Death should have been his domain, but now it had befallen him.
At the moment of death, the system's voice rang in Li Qing's mind.
"Due to the fall of Death, the system has determined that the host has completed World Mission Two: Survive for three days while being pursued by Death, and is rewarded with 5 chances to draw a prize from the system!"
"Not bad, system, you're not too rigid after all; you know how to be flexible."
What can survive for three days while being hunted by the Grim Reaper?
There's absolutely no need for that. I'll just take care of Death directly, then how can he still chase me down!
Li Qing had originally planned to survive for three days to complete the mission, but he didn't expect that the Grim Reaper wasn't very strong and was killed by Li Qing instead.
......
Below, in the seawater, the Grim Reaper's corpse turned back into a skeleton shortly after falling into the sea.
With the death of the Grim Reaper, the support of divine power is gone, making it difficult to maintain the transformation.
Li Qing held the Trident of Poseidon and gently swung it. The seawater next to the corpse of the Grim Reaper began to churn violently, forming a huge whirlpool.
A thick tentacle formed from seawater extended from the center of the whirlpool, dancing nimbly and quickly wrapping tightly around the head and body of Death.
Then, as if it had a life of its own, the tentacle, carrying the remains of the Grim Reaper, slowly approached Li Qing.
When the tentacles reached Li Qing, they gently placed the Grim Reaper's head and body in front of him before slowly retracting back into the sea and disappearing.
Looking at the skeleton in front of him, Li Qing sneered.
He had previously boasted that he would tear Li Qing to pieces, but ended up being killed by Li Qing instead. It just goes to show, if you don't have the strength, why pretend to be something you're not?
Holding the Trident of Poseidon, he gently tapped the bones, each strike producing a crisp metallic clang. Death's body was as hard as steel, a fact Li Qing had already noticed during their battle.
Li Qing cautiously reached out to touch the skeleton. A chill ran through his fingertips, as if he were touching a piece of ice. But this touch was not simply cold; it was a unique texture, like both metal and jade.
Although Death is dead, the body he left behind still has some value.
After all, it is the body of a god!
Without a doubt, this body of the Grim Reaper possesses extraordinary quality and may become an excellent material for refining weapons.
Imagine if a weapon were made from such materials; its power would certainly be formidable.
All I can say is, thank you for the gift from death.
Even after he died, he was left with such a treasure.
Li Qing decided to make good use of his body!
After retrieving the Grim Reaper's Scythe from his system space, Li Qing looked at the Grim Reaper's head again.
Through the gap at the top of the skull, Li Qing seemed to have discovered an extraordinary treasure, and his eyes narrowed.
Using his telekinesis to fix Death's head in place, he reversed his grip on Poseidon's trident and thrust it into the interior of Death's head.
After some effort, Li Qing pried a gray crystal out of the Grim Reaper's head.
The entire surface of the crystal is covered with dense, crisscrossing tiny cracks, which spread out like a spider web, making one worry that it might suddenly break apart at any moment.
Nevertheless, the crystal still emitted an eerie and captivating light.
This crystal should be the Death God's Divine Spark, but its divine power has been almost completely exhausted by the Death God, which is why it looks like this. Holding the Divine Spark between your fingers and penetrating it with your divine sense, you can still feel a trace of the Death God's divine power remaining within it.
......
On the vast and boundless sea, the sun shines down, and the surface of the sea ripples with light. A gentle sea breeze carries a salty and moist scent, and a few seabirds glide across the surface.
Suddenly, a figure shot out of the sea like lightning, splashing water everywhere, followed closely by an enormous water sphere.
The water balloon contained seafood that Li Qing had brought for Alex and the others; it was all lively and fresh.
Return the Trident of Poseidon to the system space.
Once Li Qing determined the direction, he instantly accelerated and disappeared from the spot with the water sphere.
......
Ruins of a villa in the suburbs of New York City.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was exceptionally quiet. Alex and the others sat quietly on the ground, their expressions filled with tension and fear. Everyone remained silent, as if afraid that speaking would shatter this fragile balance.
Alex's fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes darted around as if searching for a safe corner. Sitting beside him, Claire was pale, her lips tightly pressed together, and her hands clasped tightly, revealing her inner unease.
The others were no exception; some had their heads down, some were gazing into the distance, and others were fiddling with the objects around them, trying to distract themselves.
