Chapter 27 Beguiling and the pain of his bloodline mutation (1/2)

While the snow was piling, a boy was lying on the ground in some alley in unnamed town.

The boy was wounded and almost his entire body was wounded. In his right hand was a piece of dirty bread that he had protected from the bread store owner he stole from. The boy was scrawny and from the looks of it, he was about to die.

However, the boy refuses to bite the dust and despite having little strength, the boy started eating the piece of bread he had stolen. He was desperate to live, didn't want to die here after all.

The light in the boy's eyes was glaring and blinding. The fire inside him was burning and a flickering will that contains his dream was still burning like great bonfire.

The boy ate and ate until the dirtied bread was eaten whole. The boy felt sleepy after eating, but he dared not close his eyes for he felt he will be put enter an eternal rest the moment he do so.

The boy struggled up and slowly got up from the snow. He was desperate to leave this place so he can go somewhere and cultivate.

”I want to become stronger.” The boy mumbled to himself as he painfully got up from the ground.

Swoosh!

The whole scene where the young boy was walking away from a blood filled snow changed.

Chirp! Chirp!

This time the chirping of playful birds could be heard. The area was in the middle of some forest, it was currently spring and the flowers in full bloom.

In the middle of this forest was a young man who looked like fifteen to sixteen years of age. The young man was currently meditating and in his right hand was bright golden pearl.

His clothes were bloodied and disheveled. His body was full of battle damaged but the young man continued to meditate against the pain he was currently feeling.

Behind the young man was a beast ten meters in height. The beast had blood continuously flowing out of a bloody hole in its chest. Beside the beast was a middle age man who had lost two of his limbs and had his torso separated from his lower half.

The hundred meter radius where the young man was meditating on was full of holes and destruction. Trees were uprooted and the earth was destroyed. The whole area was the battlefield the young man fought with the middle aged man and ten meter tall beasts.

While this scene was playing out, a person suddenly appeared in front of the young man who was in meditation. As if that person was air, the young man did not pay this man no attention.

That man looked at the young man's face with an indifferent look on his face. The man looked like he was in his left twenties, his clothes were ordinary white scholarly robes and if one look closely enough, his visage has a resemblance to the young man in front of him.

He stared at the young man for good while until the young man opened his eyes.

The man looked at the young man exhale and adjust hiss set of mind. Keeping the golden pearl he had been using to cultivate he started checking his cultivation.

”I am now an energy palace stage cultivator.”

The young man stood up and turned to look at the beast and middle aged man he had killed. He gazed at them with an apologetic look, however, that look only lasted for a few seconds before becoming a fierce glare.

”I killed him because he tried to kill me! This is the life I have chosen, I want to become strong so no one can look down upon me! Starting from today, I, Wang Ling, will never be able to live a peaceful life!

”Bandit Gin, you might be evil but I shall properly use your death as my stepping stone and become stronger. You can haunt me and I will gladly accept your hate.”

With that he turned around and left that place. 'Wang Ling' was walking towards the man who had arrived. The two of them will bumped into each other if the he continues to walk, however, 'Wang Ling' passed through that man's body without a problem.

He didn't even notice his existence as he left that place.

The other man was left staring at 'Wang Ling's disappearing back, he sighed as he look up to the sky. ”Why are you showing my memories? Starting from when I was a child and then to my first kill here, what is it that you want?”

He spoke with calmness. At the moment his current image was the reflection of his past self. The one who stood at the top of the old era, not the one who was living with a family.

Wang Ling did not know why but he had been seeing memories of him suffering and him making other people suffer since he had lost consciousness. He was the top cultivator of the old era and he had lived a couple of millennia's and the blood he had spilt can be turned into a great river.

As he was questioning the reasoning for this strange phenomenon, Wang Ling heard an archaic voice coming from within him

”Why, is your past bothering you?” the voice asked in a simple way. The voice came of nowhere, but Wang Ling was not surprise to hear it as he was also familiar with this voice.

He was so familiar with this voice that he already knew what it was just from a guess.

[So, my inner demon is actually tying to beguile me?

It has been a couple of centuries since I experience one. Does this beguilement have any connection with a technique I am cultivating at the moment?]

It was as if the voice was his and he was the voice. It felt weird but at the same time comforting. Looking around Wang Ling noticed that the scenery had changed once more.

From the forest it was now a city that is burning as ordinary people and cultivators alike run away from his younger self who was fighting with another cultivator.

The two of them was in the air flying in the air as they fought with their lives on the line. The young Wang Ling held a crazed look on himself and as he fought, his aura continued to rise.

Boom!

At the time, the younger 'Wang Ling' was not using a sword but instead was using a spear. He wielded the spear with great proficiency as he fought his enemy like the god of war.

Hong!

As he was fighting the city continued to burn as his enemy continued to use flames. The younger Wang Ling continued to deflect the flames and the flames continued to destroy the city.

Cries of pain echoed in the city as the two cultivators fought one another.

”This is your fight with the Flame Saint. You were a [True Saint] at the time and you raided his base at the Flame Province. He had been trying to kill you after he learned that you possess the [Azure Star Flame Essence], in this fight you slayed the Flame Saint in the end but you ended up indirectly killing people in the process.

”Are you happy for your achievement? Is it fun to kill the innocent? Although you did not kill them directly, you had the option to leave the city, why did you persist to continue fighting where there are many people?
