C148 (1/2)

Hidden beneath Gold City, Xing Gan's entire body trembled as he grit his teeth in grief and agony. Once the puppet was destroyed, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. However, he didn't care and continued to wallow in his grief, unable to extricate himself.

This massacre of the people did not seem to be what he was willing to do. It was just his own clansmen and his innocent enemies. He had chosen the former, choosing to go against his own ideals and give up on his own ideals.

At that moment, the pain he was enduring was not only from Bi Huan, who was fighting desperately in the city. What was even more unbearable was that he could choose to vent his pain, but he could only bury Bi Huan in his heart and endure it all by himself.

As I watched Xing Gan in pain, a melody kept playing in my head, as if someone were singing softly in my ear: The spring wind blows through the fields, the earth is full of green branches, and your smile is even more brilliant. You walk barefoot into the distance, towards the direction of the rising sun. The men of the field laughed and asked, ”Where are you going, you said, toward the cleanest world in your heart?” Green wind, dark blue water, heaven stage white clouds, never regret, you used your life to step into every land, in exchange for our eternal peace …

At this moment, I suddenly understood Xing Gan's dream. His dream was to be eternal peace, to be the cleanest world, to be eternal, to be peaceful … However, a man who harbored a dream of peace was being forced to slaughter all the innocent cultivators in the city, his hands were drenched in blood. He had stayed in the race of the dryads for so long, continuously instigating the concept of peace for the next generation, hoping to use his own efforts to reform everyone, to stop the war, and to stop the smoke from rising. But now, what he was doing was completely different from what he had done before. How was he going to deal with those naive children?

The man from the Tree Spirit Clan once said, ”This is even more painful than killing Xing Gan. Now I understand, this kind of mission is indeed even more painful than killing him, but he has no choice. One side is the enemy, the other side is the clansmen.

I suddenly felt great admiration for Xing Gan. If I were facing something like this, I would definitely be like him, accepting the mission of slaughtering everyone in my path to protect my loved ones, but I didn't have such a great ambition in my heart, and my choice didn't conflict with my dream. Therefore, compared to him, I was pitifully small.

There were already people noticing the oddity in Jin Ping City and beginning to attack the huge trees surrounding the city. However, how many people were able to break through the defenses that even Bi Huan couldn't break through?

During the night, the screams in Jinping City became weaker and weaker, until they finally disappeared. At least Xing Gan couldn't hear them, because there weren't many people left alive in Jinping City. Bi Huan was one, and currently, her entire body was covered in blood as she tenaciously fought against the eyeball.

It was already daytime, but there was not a single trace of light. Layers of dark clouds covered the sky and an extremely oppressive aura gradually spread.

Seeing that there were still several people who could not be killed, a trace of anger appeared in one of his pupils. Suddenly, his pupils changed and slowly cracked open, turning into two pairs of pupils! Not only that, both of his pupils gradually split apart, turning into four pupils that continuously split apart. Not long later, they had turned into sixteen pupils!

Bi Huan's expression was extremely gloomy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Every time he wanted to get close to the eyeball and break it, there would be countless attacks that took special care of him, making it difficult for him to even defend himself, let alone destroy the eyeball.

The moment the 16 pupils appeared, among the eight people, besides Bi Huan, whose body swayed slightly with a terrified expression without any other peculiarities, the other seven people had already become sluggish, instantly becoming numb. Then, they were pierced through by several vines from behind, and their aura gradually dissipated, if they had only died, then it would have been fine, but the corpse, which no longer had any aura, was controlled by the vine and slowly turned towards Bi Huan.

Bi Huan's eyes were wide open. Blood dripped from the corners of his eyes. His face was pale, but it was incomparably gloomy and extremely ugly to behold.

”You are all brothers that have lived and died with me, but I never thought that you would end up like this! I, Bi Huan, promise that I will definitely avenge you no matter the cost or difficulty! ”

The words came out one by one from Bi Huan's throat. With an incomparable determination and anger, he made a promise.

The fact that the seven of them were able to survive the violent attack of the giant eyeball until now was definitely not weak. Even if their cultivation was insufficient, they could not be that much weaker than Bi Huan, and what made it even more difficult for Bi Huan was that although the movements of the seven of them were stiff and rough like puppets, they did not affect the execution of his magic. The speed of their attacks was still three or four times faster than Bi Huan's attacks.

But fortunately, when the seven of them fought Bi Huan to the death, the giant eyeball didn't use any other killing techniques. It only controlled the seven of them as if they were playing around.
