Chapter 13 That damned Nirvana Corpse, how dare it pretend to be a mortal and deceive me!
Chapter 13 That damned Nirvana Corpse, how dare it pretend to be a mortal and deceive me!
Faced with Bai Xiaoxiao's naked desire for revenge, the Three-Eyed Corpse looked solemn.
"Descendants of our benefactor...as you wished."
The pupils between the three eyes shone with intense blood-red light.
Within that lifeless body, immense magical power surged forth.
[Borrowing Yuan Zhenmu]
The tangible gaze formed from condensed magical power transformed into a streak of red light that pierced through the air, striking directly into Bai Xiaoxiao's brow.
"this……"
Gao Haoguang instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and he could not move an inch.
He opened his mouth, but felt that whatever he said at that moment would be inappropriate.
Is he going to stand up for these villagers and forgive this blood feud that spans a thousand years on behalf of Bai Xiaoxiao?
Put yourself in his shoes; if such a tragedy happened to him, his parents would be driven to their deaths.
Those villagers in front of him have probably been reduced to ashes by now.
Even without the supernatural powers of the Nirvana Corpse, Gao Haoguang felt that he would do everything he could to take revenge.
But, as a prestigious and righteous sect, would they really just stand by and watch these mortals die before their very eyes?
Gao Haoguang was filled with conflicting emotions and could only turn to his senior brother for help.
"Senior brother, what should we do?"
Xia Chuan frowned slightly, looking at Gao Haoguang with an expression as if he were an idiot: "What do we do?"
"Can't you see the current situation?"
Gao Haoguang's heart sank, and he sighed inwardly.
That's right, one of the ironclad rules for those seeking the Dharma.
It means we shouldn't interfere too much with the cause-and-effect relationships and grudges between mortals.
However, before he could finish his sigh, he heard his senior brother add the second half of the sentence with a resounding tone.
Xia Chuan pointed at the group of villagers, filled with righteous indignation: "Damn Nirvana Corpse, how dare they disguise themselves as mortals!"
"Luckily, I ran into some kind villagers today, otherwise I would have been completely fooled by these treacherous monsters!"
Gao Haoguang: ? ? ?
"Hahahaha—!"
On the other side of the same month, Jiang Mingzi, who lived a thousand years ago, was first stunned, then laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, and tears almost streamed down his face.
"Grey, your senior brother is quite interesting!"
Gao Haoguang was completely incoherent:
"This, this... are we just going to watch like this?"
Senior brother, aren't we righteous people?!
Xia Chuan dropped his affected expression and turned to look at Gao Haoguang.
A large, broad hand patted his shoulder heavily, and he sighed.
"Grey, haven't you seen it yet? Our destiny is to slay the Nirvana Corpse."
Gao Haoguang was taken aback.
"Anyone who has eaten humans is a Nirvana corpse!"
Xia Chuan's gaze, cold and hard as a knife, slowly swept over the trembling villagers:
"They have already tasted the flavor of their own flesh and blood."
This resounding statement sent a chill down Gao Haoguang's spine.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he felt as if he had vaguely grasped some kind of unconventional truth.
What difference is there between someone who wears human skin and eats people and a monster?
Just then, a painful groan interrupted everyone's thoughts.
After a long silence, Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head, and the skin on the center of her forehead split open, revealing a bloodshot red eye!
The three-eyed corpse looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, its voice weary:
"You have already taken my memories and supernatural powers."
Bai Xiaoxiao did not reply.
At this moment, her mind was filled with a replay of the overwhelming hatred her ancestor Bai Da felt before his death, and the helpless and desperate screams of her parents as they were pushed into the abyss.
Ah... Father, Mother.
I'll be there to see you right away.
She slowly raised her head, and her once clear eyes were now as bloodshot as the vertical eye on her forehead.
Bai Xiaoxiao gazed at the old sun sinking into the western mountains on the horizon.
Today's sun is just like the one on the day my mother was taken away.
The color of blood was everywhere.
Two lines of bright red tears slowly flowed down Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes.
The three-eyed corpse looked at her, knowing the time was right:
"As you know, as long as my consciousness remains, I can only be the true master of this supernatural power."
"If you want to avenge your parents yourself, you know what to do, right?"
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him coldly, her voice seeming to come from the deepest hell:
"Take your own life."
Upon hearing this, the three-eyed corpse not only did not get angry, but instead shook its head and smiled bitterly.
A thousand years ago, he chose to commit suicide to escape Jiang Mingzi's pursuit, but in doing so, he met Bai Da's benefactor.
Now, because he unintentionally harmed the descendants of his benefactor, he has to commit suicide again to repay his debt.
Every drink and every bite is a consequence of cause and effect.
The three-eyed corpse slowly drew the long sword from its waist and smiled nonchalantly.
So be it.
What I'm most proud of in my life is that I always pay back my debts!
Just as he was about to raise the knife to slit his throat, he suddenly felt a warm, large hand gently clasp the back of his head.
It was pure physical strength, without any fluctuation of magical power, yet it exuded an irresistible pressure.
The invisible cutting line, representing the division of the soul, instantly covered his entire head.
In the final moment before his consciousness faded, the three-eyed corpse heard only a low farewell in his ear:
"Take care."
【Soul·Unraveling】
"Click."
There was no blood splattering, and no painful struggle.
The soul connection of the three-eyed corpse was severed instantly and precisely, and its body, which had endured for thousands of years, collapsed with a crash.

Xia Chuan casually flicked his right hand, lowered his eyes, and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who looked like a demon in front of him.
"I won't stop you, but you need to remember..."
"There are green mountains beyond the mountains."
After avenging myself, I'll go see the world outside.
Bai Xiaoxiao remained noncommittal.
She simply dragged her heavy steps past Xia Chuan's tall figure.
He walked step by step toward the villagers who were kneeling on the ground, crying and wailing.
