758: Chapter 758 Children's Words Are Innocent

[Actually, your currently strongest move is—using the immortal slaying sword to execute Eight Desolations Annihilation.]

[You do not want to expose this strongest trump card yet.]

[As your thoughts drifted—]

[Ten thousand miles away, Cai Xingchen reappeared, with only ten percent of his Dao Origin remaining.]

[Looking at him, you couldn't help but sigh inwardly—Mahayana Cultivators with and without a Great Dao Divine Ability are truly worlds apart.]

[Cai Xingchen met your gaze, and his entire body stiffened.]

[He looked at his own hands, then abruptly looked up and glanced around—Tu Kongming did not appear again, and only that spatial ring was floating lonely in the starry sky.]

[He stared at that ring for two breaths before shifting his gaze back to you, his voice trembling:]

["F-Fellow Daoist... Let us talk things over nicely... I-I am willing to make amends, and I can swear a great dao oath to follow you..."]

[You did not reply, your consciousness stirring with a thought.]

["Tianming Judgment."]

[He felt it.]

[That vast power of Karma transformed into invisible chains, binding him tightly.]

[Then, a buzzing sound rang in his brain, as if he had been heavily struck by something.]

[Sweat streamed down his forehead. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat no longer obeyed him.]

[Immediately after, his arms began to disappear, followed by his shoulders, chest, limbs, body, Primordial Spirit, and Dao Origin, vanishing silently and completely.]

["N-No, no—!"]

[In the end, only a desperate scream echoed across the entire starry sky.]

[Two spatial rings hung in the empty starry sky, floating forlornly.]

[With a casual wave of your hand, they fell into your palm, while the seven immortal slaying swords simultaneously turned into streams of light and drilled into your body. The sword hums dissipated, and the starry sky grew quiet once again.]

[You glanced at the empty surroundings, turned around, took a step, and returned to the Tianyin Sect.]

[High above the Tianyin Sect,]

[Yan Ji had already been defeated by Qin Han.]

[Qin Han had Yan Ji clenched in his mouth, much like he was holding a bone.]

[Yan Ji had been flattened entirely, covered in blood, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, bearing no resemblance to her peerlessly gorgeous and glamorous self.]

[Words were still gurgling out of her mouth, slurred and indistinct:]

["My mother is Liu Xuerong... My father is the Flame Emperor..."]

["They will not let you off..."]

["All of you will be buried with me..."]

[You glanced at her, ignored her, and looked at Qin Han: "Why aren't you eating her?"]

[Qin Han, holding Yan Ji in his mouth, mumbled vaguely: "Shit... Her shit was slapped out by me... It smells stinky..."]

[You frowned—you hadn't expected Yan Ji to be such a glutton.]

[You must know that once a Cultivator enters inedia, there are no more Impurities left in their body, let alone the fact that she was at the Body Integration realm.]

[Obviously, she had eaten a meal before setting out on her journey.]

[You raised a hand to cover your nose and looked at Qin Han: "Don't you usually eat them too?"]

["The ones swallowed directly do not have this flavor." Qin Han replied vaguely.]

["Eat her up quickly, stop dawdling."]

["Oh." Qin Han acknowledged, biting down hard—]

[Snap!]

["Urgh—!" Yan Ji let out a low, muffled groan.]

[Qin Han chewed smackingly a couple of times, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He licked his lips, swallowed, then suddenly let out a dry heave and spat with an expression of utter disgust:]

["She's getting old, her meat is tough and stringy, I can't chew it..."]

[Your frown deepened further: "Then why are you still chewing?"]

[Qin Han raised a paw and pointed at Fool standing inside the mountain gate: "That little friend just said that when eating, you must chew food into pieces before swallowing."]

[You gave it an eye-roll and looked up toward Lu Bihe on a distant mountain peak.]

[Her face had long since turned ashen, her lips were still trembling, and blood was dripping down from the corners of her mouth.]

[You raised a hand in a summoning gesture, moving her right in front of you, and smiled faintly: "I still have to thank you this time."]

[Blood was still bubbling from her mouth, and her throat gurgled, unable to produce any sound at all.]

["You are not speaking? I originally thought that if you were willing to beg for mercy, I could spare your life. Since you are not afraid of death, then so be it." Your tone was nonchalant.]

[Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she nodded frantically.]

[You looked at her and nodded earnestly: "You really aren't afraid of death."]

[As your voice fell, you raised a hand to press down on her head. The Power of the Great Dao spread along her life force, tracing all the way back to her main body, devouring, annihilating, and erasing it completely and cleanly.]

[Her main body, far away in an Immortal Cave on a certain fairy mountain of the Lu clan territory, had originally lost connection with this Clone.]

[Suddenly, a thread of perception reconnected.]

[At first, she was overjoyed, but before she could figure out what was happening, the Power of the Great Dao had already arrived, crushing straight over along that line of perception.]

[Her pupils abruptly constricted, and before she could even react, her body dissipated inch by inch.]

[A qiankun ring slipped off her finger, rolled onto the ground, spun around a few times with clinking sounds, and came to a stop.]

[You withdrew your hand and patted it.]

[Qin Han transformed into the size of a palm, crouching on your shoulder, tilting his head, his voice very soft: "Daddy, she seems to have no tongue, so she couldn't speak to beg for mercy."]

["Oh? Is that so?" Your tone was calm, "I forgot."]

["You did it on purpose?" Qin Han tilted his head to look at you.]

[You did not answer. With a wave of your hand, you put away Lu Bihe's qiankun ring and took out that Spirit Treasure soul banner.]

[Looking at the soul banner floating in your palm, your tone was very faint: "A person like her deserves to die in despair."]

[After putting away the qiankun ring and soul banner, you turned around, took a step, and landed on the mountain gate square of the Tianyin Sect.]

[On the spacious square, people stood densely packed—men and women, old and young—all gazing uniformly at you.]

[Some had tears in their eyes, some had trembling lips, and some hugged each other.]

[Grandmother Tianyin and more than a dozen high-ranking members stood at the very front.]

[She wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, tidied her hair, straightened her clothes, stood straight, and knelt down in a bow of salute:]

["Thank you, Senior, for stepping forth righteously!"]

[Behind her, tens of thousands of people knelt down in unison and spoke—]

["Thank you, Senior!"]

["Thank you, Uncle!"]

["Thank you, big brother!"]

[The cries of gratitude merged into one, echoing among the mountains and lingering for a long time.]

[You smiled and raised a hand, your voice gentle: "Don't be so polite. The Heavenly Palace and I already have a feud to begin with, it was just a small effort."]

[Everyone felt themselves being lifted up by an invisible force.]

[Perhaps because your tone was worlds apart from just now, many people let out a sigh of relief.]

[A few daring children tentatively took two steps forward. Seeing that you did not scold them, they swarmed forward, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Qin Han on your shoulder.]

["So cute! How did it turn into such a big doggie?"]

["Will I be able to grow that big in the future too?"]

["Can I pet it?"]

[That little girl named Ling'er looked up at you, her eyes sparkling.]

[You lowered your head and glanced at her feet—a pair of small cloth shoes with a little flower embroidered on the uppers, stitched with fine and careful needlework.]

[Your nose suddenly stung a bit, and you turned your head away, saying to Qin Han: "Do not bully your younger brothers and sisters."]

["How could I? They are so cute, I like them so much." Qin Han smiled as he floated down from your shoulder and hovered in front of the children.]

[The children gathered in a circle, some reaching out to touch its tail, others poking its belly.]

[That little boy named Fool stroked Qin Han's furry buttocks, looked up at you with an earnest expression:]

["Big brother, are you this dog's human pet?"]
