Chapter 115 - Eternal Suffering (1/2)
Burning sun is s.h.i.+ning over the isolated peak. White Fairy only has her essence. Let alone the clothes she is wearing, her body is created by illusion spells. She looks beautiful but unreal.
Right now, the palace costume that White Fairy is wearing is fluttering when there is no wind. She was arrogant in the beginning, but sweat is now running down her face… As an illusion, she is not supposed to sweat. Yet she is suffering from too much pressure, which reflects on this virtual body!
The black skull is over ten meters away. A beam of light comes out of White Fairy’s fingertip and s.h.i.+nes on the black skull. Then the scene around them changes and goes into the black shadow Venerable’s memory.
The desolated great mountains sometimes flash in the head of White Fairy. She uses the illusion spells to probe deep into the Venerable’s soul so that she can see his past with his eyes — she has spent thousands of years on creating the illusion spells since she was trapped in the deep valley. The spells are so strong that she doesn’t think it will worth it if she uses them on Lin Luoran.
Nevertheless, White Fairy never imagined that the first one she uses the illusion spells on would be a primitive monster! She used to believe that the peak was suppressing a demon, but she didn’t expect a primitive monster… Right, she should have known because except for the primitives, no one else would refer to the cultivators as “Qi-trainers”.
Back in her time, the Lost Land was only a training field. White Fairy had killed numerous high-level monsters with her own hands, but she didn’t expect that she would have to fight a primitive monster one day — though both of them only have their essence, their powers are not equal!
Fortunately, it seems that the Venerable is suppressed by the peak…
White Fairy grits her teeth and strengthens her control over the illusion. The scene is changing quickly, and she sees a hand with the eyes of the Venerable.
It is… White Fairy is familiar with the hand and she is frightened!
*******
“Playing spooky!” The Venerable ignores the ethereal voice and reaches out to the little girl. “Boom— ” Momo’s body is cut into pieces. The young Qi-trainer is in so much pain that he pa.s.ses out.
The black shadow Venerable smiles defiantly. This spooky voice comes to his territory and tries to meddle in his business!
What can the voice do? It has to watch he kills this human girl!
The Venerable is proud of himself. He hears the sigh of the ethereal voice and feels that something is wrong. He looks down at the blood under his feet. Where is the human blood? The body pieces of the little girl are gone too. Only a big stone is smashed by his hand!
This is, Subst.i.tution?
The Venerable frowns. Subst.i.tution is not such a high-level trick of the Qi-trainers. However, he has never seen someone who has the power to do the Subst.i.tution under his nose!
He finally looks up at the entrance of the dungeon.
First, he sees a hand. The fingers are long, clean and jade-like. A bead is hanged by a string on the wrist, which makes it harder to tell whether this is the hand of a man or a woman.
The human little girl called Momo is lying in the arms of this person. The Venerable finally sees how the person looks like — the person’s hair is casually down, and he is wearing the most common linen robe. His features are not ugly, but his appearance doesn’t stand out. This is a person who is hard to remember. Yet, the Venerable is sure that this person is a human man.
Momo is sleeping soundly. The dungeon is dirty because not only the 350 Qi-trainers of the Qingluan School but also other humans and monsters have died here. Nevertheless, the moment this man steps in, the dirtiness is dispersing. This human guy, who is obviously ordinary, adds a sense of clearness to this dungeon.
“Is it true that I can kill and humiliate you if I am stronger?” The man in robe asks casually. He asks the question in such an easy tone that it sounds like he is asking whether the Venerable has had his meal today.
The black shadow Venerable stares at the man in robe and he can’t see anything outstanding about him. The scariest thing is… He doesn’t see any trace of cultivation in this man.
The body of the Venerable suddenly disappears. The next second, he appears in front of the man in robe. The vampire teeth of the Venerable are out, and they are inches away from the man’s neck!
It’s not that the Venerable doesn’t want to or can’t move. It’s that after the man in robe moves his fingers, time freezes around the Venerable. His eyes are wide open, but he can’t move at all!
The Venerable used to fight with high-level Qi-trainers and powerful monsters. He has reached the peak of intelligence for so many years but he has never had a day like this that he is overpowered so easily before he makes his attack.
The man in robe looks indifferent like he doesn’t think what he did is so amazing. He asks carelessly,
“Did you kill the 351 people from the Qingluan Moutain?”
The black shadow Venerable moves his lips and finds himself able to speak again. He answers, “Yes!”
“You are indeed responsible…” The man in robe says carelessly. He looks down at the little girl who is sleeping soundly in his arms and murmurs to himself, “Humans eat monsters and monsters eat humans. It is the natural selection that the fittest survive. If you killed those people to fill your stomach, I would believe that you are not wrong.”
