157: They die, so what does it have to do with me?

In a flash, Su Xiaobai had already arrived behind the Nascent Soul figurine, a cold Killing Intent showing in the depths of his pupils.

But just as he raised his hand, preparing to annihilate Wang Shouyang's Nascent Soul,

a strong sense of crisis came from behind him; every nerve in his body was transmitting information to him to escape!

A hint of regret appeared in Su Xiaobai's eyes, and then his body turned into an afterimage, quickly retreating.

Boom!!!

The next moment, a dark green light exploded at his original position, causing the ground to tremble and a green crack dozens of meters deep to appear!

An aged figure descended from the sky, blocking Wang Shouyang's path, and looked at Su Xiaobai with Killing Intent: "Junior, to actually lay such a ruthless hand on the Young Lord, your entire nine generations should be executed!"

Qing Shou's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

He thought the Young Lord would surely win this time, after all, between the Nascent Soul Realm and Core Formation, there was an entire major Realm separating them.

No matter how astonishing Su Xiaobai was, it was impossible for him to cross a major Realm and defeat the Young Lord.

But he didn't expect the result to be a complete massacre!

Even he hadn't had time to react before Wang Shouyang's Physical Body was destroyed by Su Xiaobai.

"What a waste!" Qing Shou couldn't help but curse inwardly; he could already imagine what kind of punishment the Sect Master would inflict upon him when he learned of this matter.

After all, the Sect Master only had Wang Shouyang as a son, and usually held him in his palm like a treasure, fearing any slight accident.

Otherwise, which Young Lord would come to a desolate and extremely low-danger place like Desolate Continent for training? There was simply no value! Ultimately, it was out of fear that he might encounter danger.

But now that Wang Shouyang's Physical Body was destroyed, his life was probably ruined, destined to be unable to stand on the same level as other Prodigies in the Central Continent.

Thinking of the punishment he was about to suffer, Qing Shou couldn't help but feel his Soul tremble with fear, and a wave of lingering fear and terror flashed in the depths of his pupils.

"The only solution now is to kill Su Xiaobai, and then execute everyone who was on good terms with him, to appease the Young Lord's anger.

Only by having him speak well of me in front of the Sect Master can the severity of the punishment be minimized!" He clenched his fists, pondering to himself.

"Elder Qing Shou, cut off his hands and feet, don't kill him immediately! I want to torture and kill everyone related to him right in front of him!

The men will be killed and fed to dogs, and the women will be sold to brothels to suffer eternal humiliation! Hahaha!"

Wang Shouyang, hiding behind Qing Shou, like a wild dog finding its Revered Master's protection, roared with a distorted face.

"Yes!" Qing Shou slowly stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Su Xiaobai, and said in a deep voice: "I know your purpose; you want to snatch the girl in the red sedan chair, don't you?"

His gaze was sharp, and he instantly saw through Su Xiaobai's true intention.

Su Xiaobai: "..."

"But do you know? This isn't a storybook; there's no such thing as a heroic rescue here.

Everything you do today will bring devastating disaster to your Sect, and to everyone connected to you!" Qing Shou said in a deep voice.

"They will all pay the price for your actions, enduring humiliation and suffering, even death, that should have nothing to do with them. And all of this is because of you!"

Qing Shou narrowed his eyes, staring at Su Xiaobai, seemingly wanting to completely crush Su Xiaobai's Dao Heart.

He knew deeply that what caused a person the most pain was never physical torture, but rather making them feel despair, regret, self-blame, and agony in their Soul!

Behind them, the Profound Moon Sect disciples remained silent for a long time, a sudden sense of panic and lingering fear rising in their hearts.

What kind of viciousness and ruthlessness was this?

One person's actions leading to the execution of nine generations—this manner... was like a Dominator in the mortal world, controlling the life and death of a nation!

"It's over..." Dongfang Qian Yue slumped down, a hint of despair in her eyes.

Now, whether she truly wished to marry Wang Shouyang as a concubine or not, it was impossible to dispel the other party's anger.

Her Revered Master would face danger, the Sect would suffer calamity, and he... would also be doomed forever...

But she didn't blame him; she only hated herself for being too weak.

If she possessed enough power to defeat Qing Shou, how could she have resorted to such a desperate measure, becoming a concubine? How could he have to risk his life to save her?

But now, none of that mattered anymore...

She closed her eyes; when everything was already set, she felt a sense of clarity instead.

It was just that her power was now restricted, preventing her from standing by his side and fighting alongside him.

However, dying with him also seemed like a good thing... A smile appeared on her lips, and she clutched a poisonous bead tightly in her hand.

"Heh... heh heh..." A clear, Soul-shaking cold laugh broke the silence in the arena.

Su Xiaobai covered his face with one hand, a look of extreme mockery on his lips, staring at Qing Shou as if looking at an idiot, "If they die, they die. What does that have to do with me?"

He shrugged, speaking with an indifferent tone.

A tumultuous wave surged in the hearts of the people behind him.

"Is this... is this still the Senior Brother Xiaobai I know? Why does the smile on his face feel so unfamiliar to me?" Someone asked in confusion.

In their memories, Senior Brother Xiaobai valued loyalty greatly and treated everyone gently.

Why did he now... say such heartless words?

Qing Shou's brows furrowed slightly; Su Xiaobai's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Hmph, do you think by disassociating yourself from them, you can avoid implicating them and keep them safe? Such a tactic is too clumsy." He sneered.

"Think whatever you want." Su Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently.

As if not wanting to waste energy on this issue, his gaze shifted to Wang Shouyang behind Qing Shou.

That gaze, like a hunter looking at his prey, made Wang Shouyang's heart tremble involuntarily.

"I'm going to kill him today. Do you really think... you can protect him?" A strange light flickered in Su Xiaobai's pupils.

Upon hearing this, Qing Shou was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahaha! Do you know what Realm this old man is in? And what Realm are you in? Even your Sect Head wouldn't dare to say such words in front of me!"

He took a step forward, and the terrifying pressure of the Void Soul Realm Late Stage, like ten thousand towering mountains, surged towards Su Xiaobai!

Thud!

Su Xiaobai's feet immediately sank deep into the ground; this was due to the immense pressure he was enduring.

However, his spine remained perfectly straight, and he did not yield under this pressure.

"You think that because you defeated the Young Lord in the Nascent Soul Realm, you can cross three major Realms and challenge this old man in the Void Soul Realm Late Stage? Ridiculous!" Qing Shou's voice boomed like angry thunder.

He walked towards Su Xiaobai step by step, with a momentum like ten thousand mountains collapsing, "Today, this old man will show you what kind of chasm exists between the Void Soul Realm and your mere Core Formation!"

Across from him, Su Xiaobai lowered his head and remained silent.

"Heh... heh heh heh..."

Suddenly! Several eerie laughs came from within his body! Like the sneers of a devil, they made people's scalps tingle.

Everyone clutched their heads, kneeling on the ground with pained expressions.

"This... what kind of power is this? So strange, so uncomfortable..."

In the center of the battlefield.

Su Xiaobai suddenly looked up at Qing Shou, a bloodthirsty madness on his lips.

"That's perfect, I also want Elder Qing Shou to witness what... Demonic Might is!"

[PS: I'll see my state tonight. If I'm in good condition, there will be another update before 10 PM.

If it's 10 PM and there's no update, then I'm probably not in a good state. I give up! இ ௰ இ]
