Chapter 886
With a series of hand gestures and incantations performed in one smooth motion, Butu still exuded professional confidence.
But this time...
His confidence shattered even faster than before!
Just then, a trigram appeared within the black bead.
The diagram is about to be released...
Suddenly, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, and his blood rushed to his head.
With a "pfft," another mouthful of blood spurted out.
At the same time, the black bead floating in his palm began to tremble slightly.
Butu's expression changed drastically, and he began to rapidly form hand seals.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a black pen with a beast-shaped tip and touched it on the black bead, as if he were pulling something.
However, his movements were no longer fluid and seamless, clearly indicating that something unexpected had happened.
Tianchou was baffled and felt a growing tension in his heart.
However, this tension didn't last long. He heard a "crack," followed by a "bang" of an explosion...
The black bead seemed to have been subjected to unbearable energy and exploded!
Exploding fragments, stained with blood and crimson flames, flew everywhere!
Several pieces even grazed Butu's wrists and cheeks, leaving fine, bloody streaks on his body.
At this point, Butu still demonstrated professionalism in his methods of divination.
He seemed to be completely withdrawn.
Yet he still swiftly wielded that black, pointed pen, painstakingly drawing out the incomplete hexagram diagram.
The incomplete hexagram diagram is so fragmented that even the circle ("○") is not fully formed; the hexagram dots and lines on it are scattered and broken...
Furthermore, after the hexagram was placed, it did not target Tianchou.
Instead, it just floated on the ground, seemingly about to disappear at any moment.
Butu didn't care about his injuries at all, and even seemed to have forgotten about being held hostage by Tianchou.
He stared wide-eyed, then knelt down on the ground in astonishment.
His hands were pressed on the incomplete parts of the hexagram diagram, and his eyes were scanning the entire incomplete diagram intently, as if he were rapidly deducing, analyzing and memorizing it.
It's just like a math genius mentally solving a difficult problem.
It must be said that when Butu is completely focused, he seems to automatically enter a state of flow, completely blocking out the outside world.
He had previously made a false oath to avoid the oath of "kowtowing and apologizing".
However, at this moment, for the sake of his research results, he knelt on the ground without any hesitation.
They even lay on the ground, completely oblivious to everything else.
The old man Zhe Qiao, who had been tricked by him in a bet, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Without making a sound, he moved his feet to the direction directly opposite where Butu was kneeling and studying the divination diagram.
Looking at it this way, it's as if Butu is kneeling and kowtowing to him...
Although there was no verbal apology, seeing this scene finally eased the frustration in Zhe Qiao's heart.
Unfortunately, Butu didn't immerse himself in the deduction for too long.
The already incomplete hexagram diagram soon disappeared completely.
But Butu didn't seem surprised by this.
He immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, as if the incomplete array diagram had already entered his mind.
After closing his eyes and working on it for a moment, he suddenly took out an exquisitely crafted compass covered with complex mechanisms, which he operated very quickly.
The three rings on the compass spun repeatedly under his control, making a clanging and rattling sound.
Finally, as if spinning a lottery, he suddenly pressed down on the center of the compass and silently uttered a word.
The entire compass then began to vibrate and hum.
Butu still looked confident, as if everything was under control.
However, his expression quickly cracked again...
The buzzing compass suddenly clicked and then banged...
Shattered, exploded!
Just like the previous black bead...
This explosion caused an even bigger commotion.
It even had a distinct heavy metal smell and the gunpowder smell of exploding chemicals...
Butu's entire face was charred black from the explosion, and he just sat there, stunned, cross-legged on the ground.
He looked like he'd gone mad.
Tianchou witnessed the entire event and was deeply shaken.
It's just a matter of determining someone's fate, how come there are so many unexpected events?
Is this kid out of his mind after being blown up?
If something really happens to him and he goes crazy, how will his seniors interrogate him about adding the erasure rule to the sequence scroll?
Tian Chou panicked and immediately raised his foot, poking him a few times with his toe: "Hey, are you alright?"
