Chapter 497: Cruel Metamorphosis
Translator: chuchutrain Editor: Rock, DavidT
As such, Li Xue's coercion of Ling Chen, while cruel, was something that was needed! This was especially when there was still remnant forces of the NanGong Family present . To Li Xue, this was the best opportunity for Ling Chen! If she could surpa.s.s her own limits here, then her future would no longer be clogged up . If she refused to do the final blow, then she would also lose the right to be the most loved of Ling Tian, and also the position of Ling Tian's spokesperson! Li Xue would then suggest for the Ling Family Courtyard to have a change of leading personnel… . But neither Li Xue nor Ling Tian would want to see a change in the head .
Ling Chen only felt her brain in a perplexed mess . While her hand still held on to her sword, facing the eyes in front of her begging for pity, she could not make the final blow . However, she suddenly felt her elbow jolting forward without control, followed by an agonized wail… . The sword in her hands had already pierced through the man's chest… .
A look of despair appeared on that person's eyes, and he stared straight at Ling Chen as a stream of blood slowly flowed out between his lips . He started to produce gurgling sounds in his throat before he slowly slumped onto the ground . He had truly died this time!
The first one!
Ling Chen let out a loud cry, her voice extremely sharp and piercing as her figure suddenly retreated . On the sword that she still held, drops of blood flowed off from the body of the sword . Her heart was even more perplexed at this time, together with an unspeakable feeling of disgust rising up within her . She suddenly spun around, beginning to vomit in copious amounts as though trying to flood the dams and seas .
It was only after a long time that Ling Chen finally straightened her waist . Her face still remained pale beyond belief, a disorderly look in her eyes, with her body tottering on the spot as though she had no more strength left . The palpitations of her heart, the fear, disgust, still lingered within her mind, impossible to get rid off .
Ling Lei and company were naturally the most heartbroken upon seeing Ling Chen's state, but none of them opened their mouths to prevent this situation . For them, as killers belonging to the First Pavilion, the top-tier a.s.sa.s.sins of this world, they were crystal clear on the feeling one would have upon killing someone for the first time, for they had walked the very same path long ago . Everyone present knew of Ling Chen's drawback, but n.o.body dared to force this big sister of theirs! Now that Li Xue had decided to be the villain this time around, Ling Lei and group did not know whether to be resentful or to feel grat.i.tude towards her!
To utilize such methods to force Ling Chen to metamorphosize, only Li Xue would be capable of such a feat . Even Ling Tian was not an exception, for he could not force himself to perform such a matter!
Li Xue coldly stared at Ling Chen, the emotions within her eyes constantly fluctuating, but she suppressed her emotions . She knew that being softhearted to Ling Chen now would be detrimental to her, Ling Tian, as well as all the Ling Family members in the future! Li Xue would never allow her history to be repeated in this life, thus she chose to be ruthless!
If no one wants to be the villain, then let me take the role!
If you people cannot bear to do it, then I'll be the one with the heart of stone!
”Good! Wasn't that a relief, quick and simple? Right now, lift up your sword, and aim towards the second person . Kill him!” Li Xue crossed her arms and coldly continued . Standing by the side, Ling Lei and the rest cast their worried gazes towards Ling Chen, but n.o.body dared to breathe a word . This was a process she had to go through, and all of them present understood that .
The only person who could not understand this entire process was Ling Chen!
”No! Nono… . ” Ling Chen began to tremble, ”Sister Li, I… I can't do it… stop forcing me, I beg you…”
”Sister Chen, you must do it!” Li Xue softly, yet firmly replied, ”The people in front of you are all our enemies . If they do not die, then we will be the ones who die instead! The logic is simple . Ok, calm yourself down, do not panic… that's right! Now, exert all your strength!” As she spoke, the sword on Ling Chen's hands pushed forward once again, and blood spurted; she had killed another person .
”From today onward, these 96 people present, you have to kill 10 every day, splitting these people up into 10 days to kill! Starting from the fifth day, every person you kill must be through a unique method, such as piercing their heart, or beheading, and dismembering . Whatever the case, by the end of 10 days, the lives of these 96 people, including NanGong Yu, must all be ended by your very own hands! You have to try all sort of methods to end their lives, do you understand me?!” Li Xue looked at Ling Chen in pity, but she did not get soft-hearted .
”I… . I can't!” Ling Chen began to feel another wave of nausea . ”I… won't be able to! I can't…”
”As for today's quota of ten people, you've only fulfilled two! Continue!” Li Xue seemed to not have heard Ling Chen's protest, ”There are still eight more, hurry and finish up so we can all return . If you really wish to bring them back to the base before beginning your slaughter, that's also up to you . ”
