Free Web NovelChapter 1370: Chapter 61 Left-hand Path
The Wan E Human Demon and the Flesh-Cutting Human Demon were stunned by the scene before them.
"How did he end up vomiting his heart out?" Zheng Fei muttered in confusion. "Even though the painting was pretty disgusting, it shouldn’t warrant this reaction..."
Meanwhile, Li Shou lowered his head to gaze at his chest cavity, seemingly contemplating the feasibility of pulling out his heart and crushing it.
"Looks pretty cool!"
The Diviner completely ignored the antics of these two clowns and turned towards Jingye, the garrison general of Guiding Light City. With a sharp tone, he barked, "Kill him!"
"Didn’t you say earlier that we shouldn’t kill him?" Zheng Fei grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The Diviner turned his blood-smeared face around, his usually serene gaze now filled with ferocity.
Zheng Fei curled his lips. "Fine, kill him it is. No need to get so angry."
Despite his words, he swiftly drew out a large chopping blade, adjusted his stance, gripped the weapon tightly in both hands, and brought it down in an overhead strike toward Jingye!
But in that instant, Jingye, bound on the ground like a pig and seemingly defenseless, suddenly had his eyes turn blood-red!
The blood-red hue in his eyes was both abyssal and piercing.
It was the color of madness and brutality, devoid of any emotion.
This was a state that should never belong to Jingye!
Everyone in Guiding Light City knew that Jingye cultivated a technique rooted in righteous and awe-inspiring energy.
And yet now, he seemed more wicked than the most evil person!
The ropes binding him snapped instantly, unable to restrain him in the slightest.
With just one motion of his hand, he grabbed Zheng Fei’s large chopping blade and twisted slightly—
Crack!
It broke in two!
"Whoa!" Zheng Fei cried out in both anguish and shock, his belly inflating like a drum from his rage.
Yet fear was foreign to him; even holding only half a blade, he continued pressing forward without stopping!
Fierce as Zheng Fei was, the Diviner didn’t sit idle either. He forced out a Blood Bead from the tip of his finger, inscribing it mid-air with strokes that landed softly, forming a glowing crimson symbol for "Freeze."
Meanwhile, Jingye, fresh off snapping Zheng Fei’s blade, showed no interest in the fight. He retreated a step, intending to leave the courtyard entirely. Yet that step was suspended in mid-air!
The crimson "Freeze" symbol anchored him in place.
Zheng Fei had already caught up, wielding his broken blade in relentless strikes, delivering countless afterimages. Right there in mid-air, he dismembered Jingye into hundreds of pieces!
Blood rained throughout the sky, flesh scattered, and white bones shattered.
The garrison general of Guiding Light City was dead within moments.
The Diviner uttered only one phrase: "Scatter and flee!"
Then he stepped onto the Gua Platform, shattering it as his figure dissolved into a streak of blood light, disappearing into the distant horizon.
Zheng Fei and Li Shou didn’t bother questioning why they had to flee or where they should escape to.
When even the Diviner is fleeing for his life, even fools like them know better than to argue. The two leapt out of the courtyard in unison, choosing a direction opposite to the Diviner’s for their swift departure.
The moment they left the courtyard, a sudden surge of blood energy erupted within, condensing into a suffocating blood fiend and roaring incessantly. The blood fiend remained confined within, its violent and extreme aura brewing and seemingly taking form.
Only then did Zheng Fei and Li Shou understand the reason behind the Diviner’s earlier claim that this person should not be killed.
Killing the garrison general had triggered this terrifying transformation!
But why did he choose to kill him now?
Of course, this question didn’t even cross Li Shou’s mind, and Zheng Fei didn’t bother thinking about it either.
Running for their lives was exhilarating and thrilling enough. Let’s see who escapes faster!
Three breaths later, a gaunt-faced old man stepped into the courtyard filled with the condensing blood fiend.
It was none other than Yu Beidou, who had appeared earlier on the streets of Linzi.
He materialized out of thin air, as naturally as opening a door and stepping through it, arriving here with a single stride.
The Gua Platform was now destroyed, the corpses remained.
Yu Beidou instantly honed in on the information he sought.
However, he could not ignore the grotesque flesh pieces slowly piecing themselves together and the sinister, violent aura taking shape.
"Emotionless Desireless Blood Demon Body?" Yu Beidou frowned deeply.
It was decision time.
Should he target the Emotionless Desireless Blood Demon Body, or the Diviner known for his crooked methods?
"Bah!"
Yu Beidou spat an old phlegm onto the flesh pieces forming the demonic body.
He turned and flew in the direction of the fleeing Diviner, muttering, "Since it’s already the path of heresy, who cares about the fate of the world! Let Ruan Qin handle it!"
With that, his figure vanished in a flash.
After a short span of time, the courtyard saw the flesh pieces, once belonging to Jingye, fully recomposed.
But the figure was no longer Jingye’s. Instead, it was an eerie, pale elder devoid of facial hair.
If Yang Xuance were present, he would instantly recognize Liu Huai, the Writing Eunuch of the Yang Family Dynasty.
Sadly, the courtyard was deserted.
Liu Huai’s hollow gaze lingered for a moment as though contemplating his current condition. Then, with a casual wave, he reduced all the corpses in the courtyard to blood light and absorbed them into his body.
He swallowed hard, feeling a long-lost hunger.
Scanning the city’s bustling vitality, he broke into a sinister grin.
"That old eunuch grinning is utterly revolting!"
A shoe slammed onto his face, smothering his smile and pushing his head down into the ground. The shoe continued pressing until his head was buried beneath the earth!
Yu Beidou, as unkempt as ever, rapidly conjured seal imprints with his fingers, embedding them onto Liu Huai’s body while cursing relentlessly: "I’ll snatch Ruan Qin’s task just to piss him off, damn it!"
...
...
On Star Moon Plain, Jiang Wang, now replenished with Star Power, suddenly felt an ominous sense of foreboding.
It was as if an invisible hand tightened around his throat and clenched his heart.
However, the sensation vanished in a fleeting moment.
The black-and-white Divine Power Seed symbolizing the Astray Path whirled around but showed no other signs.
Jiang Wang steadied his mind and looked ahead to clear skies and boundless clouds, a landscape of splendor stretching as far as the eye could see.
On the vast Star Moon Plain, a little grey dog bounced around tirelessly.
Jiang Wang opened his mouth to call out, only to realize he hadn’t yet named the dog.
You’re so stupid. I’ll call you Stupid Grey. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
After pondering seriously for a moment, he shouted, "Stupid Grey!"
The little grey dog didn’t know this was its new name, but it perked up at Jiang Wang’s voice, wagging its tail joyfully as it bounded back, feet sinking unevenly into the grass.
Jiang Wang grabbed it and casually summoned water, giving it a bath amidst its yelping.
This was a technique combining water tactics and fire tactics to create hot water.
After washing it, he used a wind-and-fire combined hot air technique to dry the dog thoroughly.
During the drying process, Stupid Grey kept its eyes shut, dodging and twisting its little head as if trying to escape.
Despite the discomfort, Jiang Wang’s hand remained near its paw, yet it didn’t scratch him even once.
It could easily bite Jiang Wang with a single move, but ever since it followed him out here, it hadn’t shown its teeth at him once.
