161: The madman is indeed unreasonable.

“As the Palace Master, how can I stand by and do nothing?”

Jiang Yu was also quite the actress; hearing Chu Yao’s words, she immediately reprimanded her.

“Ah… oh…”

Chu Yao was first shocked, then let out a disappointed ‘oh’ and quietly retreated.

Some things are best left unsaid.

With Lin Xuan’s intelligence, a single sentence could easily mislead him.

And indeed, that was the case.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Xuan instantly pieced together the general situation, dispelling any thoughts of doubting Chu Yao.

He firmly believed he couldn’t be wrong about Chu Yao.

Chu Yao might seem like an unprincipled, flirtatious little vixen, but in reality, she was extremely conservative and acted with her own principles.

Furthermore, Jiang Yu had a strong sense of justice, detesting evil, and a powerful sense of responsibility; saving Gu Qing was entirely within her duties.

But Gu Qing had desecrated Jiang Yu.

How could Jiang Yu still come to his rescue?

Looking at the peerlessly beautiful Jiang Yu, Lin Xuan felt a dull ache in his heart.

Although he had already decided to sever ties with Jiang Yu.

When he sought a decisive battle with Gu Qing this time, Lin Xuan kept telling himself it wasn't for Jiang Yu.

He was killing Gu Qing entirely for himself.

Even if Jiang Yu thanked him afterward for eliminating the menace that was Gu Qing, he would not forgive Jiang Yu.

Love that comes too late is cheaper than grass.

He wanted Jiang Yu to regret her actions for the rest of her life.

Lin Xuan said coldly, “Jiang Yu, he desecrated you, why are you still helping him?”

“It’s none of your business.”

“…”

Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Yu in disbelief, a preposterous thought popping into his head.

Could Jiang Yu have developed feelings for Gu Qing?

“Master, save me,” Su Yang shrieked, looking at Lin Xuan with terror in his eyes.

His Soul was being twisted and deformed in Gu Qing’s hand.

Lin Xuan snapped back to reality, looked at Su Yang, then at Jiang Yu, and said word by word, “As fellow disciples of the Divine Palace, he has already lost, there’s no need to kill him, is there?”

“This is a life-and-death duel between you two; it has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Yu said with a cold tone.

“You’ve changed…”

Lin Xuan’s anger flared, veins bulging on his forehead, and he looked at her with disappointment.

Although it was a life-and-death battle, the victor had been decided; Jiang Yu could have easily saved a life.

He had just thought Jiang Yu was kind-hearted and responsible.

But as soon as Gu Qing was involved, she immediately showed favoritism.

Jiang Yu had indeed fallen.

She was infatuated with Gu Qing, that pretty boy’s sweet talk.

But Gu Qing was not a good person; he was only approaching Jiang Yu for her power and beauty.

Once she lost her usefulness, Gu Qing would surely kick her aside.

However… what did Jiang Yu being swindled out of her money and affections have to do with him?

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and spoke indifferently, “What a ‘none of your business’ indeed.”

“Jiang Yu, I never thought you could be so heartless. From today onward, our relationship is severed.”

“…”

Do we even have a relationship?

Jiang Yu was speechless.

She couldn’t be bothered with a dying man.

“Jiang Yu, I saved you from the Ice Serpent back then; I suppose I have a life-saving grace towards you, don’t I?”

Lin Xuan stared at her with an indifferent expression, enunciating each word, “As long as you make Gu Qing let go of Su Yang, we’ll call it even.”

“…”

Jiang Yu was utterly speechless, wanting to speak but holding back.

Jiang Yu highly suspected that Lin Xuan was a self-righteous and delusional madman.

Could one reason with such a madman?

No, it was impossible to reason with him.

Jiang Yu distanced herself from him and walked over to Gu Qing.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at Gu Qing’s peerless divine countenance, cleansing her eyes and, incidentally, her mind.

Hmm, the little drama queen was right; after watching for a while, her unpleasant mood instantly became pleasant.

Gu Qing blinked, as if saying, “Why are you looking at me?”

“Hurry up and kill Lin Xuan.”

“The time is not right, and besides, why should I help you?” Jiang Yu shook her head slightly.

“Killing someone still needs a timing?”

Gu Qing automatically ignored the latter half of Jiang Yu’s sentence and expressed his incomprehension, perhaps this was just how the bigshots operated.

After checking Su Yang’s memories, Gu Qing crushed him to death.

Since Lin Xuan didn’t dare to act, torturing Su Yang any further was useless.

It was better to send Su Yang on his way sooner.

“Gu Qing…”

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and roared, his face hideous and terrifying, like a murderous Asura.

“Something wrong?” Gu Qing glanced at him, his tone disdainful.

“Elder Lin Xuan, the life-and-death duel was your demand. You’re not a sore loser, are you?”

Lin Xuan: …Damn it, he shouldn’t have spoken to Gu Qing; not a single word Gu Qing said was what he wanted to hear.

Lin Xuan’s gaze fell on Jiang Yu, and he thoroughly hated her.

Even his life-saving grace couldn't earn him a moment of softness from Jiang Yu.

A woman who falls in love with someone else is indeed heartless.

She didn’t remember that he had nearly died trying to save her from the Ice Serpent’s maw.

Yet, how did Jiang Yu repay him?

She directly returned his kindness with enmity, helping Gu Qing and massacring his disciple.

The more Lin Xuan thought, the colder his heart became.

If he had known Jiang Yu was so cold and heartless, he shouldn’t have saved her back then; he should have let her die in the Ice Serpent’s maw.

“Master, I…”

Shi Xuan watched, a chill running down his spine, a fear rushing straight to his head.

His invincible Senior Brother, who should have had an infinitely glorious and brilliant life, was easily cut down by Gu Qing, his Soul obliterated, never to reincarnate.

Gu Qing’s power was simply beyond his imagination.

Luo Li was his Junior Sister; they came from the same lineage.

Luo Li wouldn’t be as terrifying as Gu Qing, would she?

Should he still fight Luo Li to the death?

At this moment, Shi Xuan, who possessed an invincible Dao Heart, wavered, his invincible Dao Heart torn open.

“Shi Xuan, the life-and-death contract has been signed. It’s too late to regret now,” Luo Li sneered, taking in the changing expressions of the master and disciple.

Shi Xuan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said coldly, “It’s still uncertain who will win. Aren’t you being a bit too confident?”

Since it was unavoidable, then he would fight.

He didn’t believe that Luo Li was as unfathomable as Gu Qing.

He had the Supreme Bone and the Double Pupils; he didn't believe he couldn't defeat Luo Li.

“Heh, is that so? Then let’s begin.”

Luo Li sneered, and with an open hand, the Phoenix Nirvana Spear appeared in her grasp.

Boom!

A sky-shattering explosion echoed in the void.

Luo Li, holding the long spear, her three thousand strands of black hair fluttering, was peerlessly beautiful, like an invincible female War God.

The Phoenix Nirvana Spear was like a phoenix, enveloped in an boundless sea of fire, incinerating the sky.

The spear intent was unstoppable, revealing a peerless sharpness that could pierce through anything, effortlessly blasting away Shi Xuan’s sacred sword, including his protective bell.

“Another monster…”

Shi Xuan fled in disarray, his eyes filled with despair.

He was known as the invincible Double Pupils user, and he even had an extra Supreme Bone.

Yet, in Luo Li’s hands, he was utterly vulnerable.

What nonsense about seeing through an enemy’s flaws? Divine abilities rained down, overwhelming everything; where were the flaws to be found?

Shi Xuan tried to use his Double Pupils to cast illusionary divine abilities, but they had no effect on Luo Li whatsoever.

There was only one possible explanation for this situation: Luo Li’s Soul was far more powerful than he could imagine.

His Double Pupils had no use at all.

But then again, the true power of the Double Pupils wasn’t in its divine abilities, but in the Double Pupils user, who was bound to possess unparalleled comprehension.

Any Dao technique or divine ability could be easily mastered, with no bottlenecks whatsoever.

Therefore, Shi Xuan had cultivated multiple divine-grade cultivation techniques, dozens of divine abilities, and several peerless great divine abilities.

His combat power was undeniably strong.

However, even with all his techniques unleashed, he was still no match for Luo Li.

The more Shi Xuan thought, the more despair he felt.

How could such a monster exist in this world?

One must know that before he met Gu Qing and Luo Li, he was an existence that could sweep through all peers, unmatched.

Fellow geniuses and prodigies of the same realm couldn't even withstand a single move from him; it was an absolute crushing of power.

Over time, Shi Xuan developed arrogance, and his invincible Dao Heart naturally formed.

He believed that only his Senior Brother could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and his Master was the goal he would pursue his entire life.

Shi Xuan yearned for an infinitely glorious future, vowing to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

However, thoughts were merely thoughts, and they shattered completely at this moment.

The strength of Gu Qing and Luo Li made him recognize reality, what it meant to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

“Pfft!”

A spear pierced through Shi Xuan’s chest; Luo Li lifted him, her expression domineering and arrogant.

“Your strength is not bad,” Luo Li said sincerely.

Shi Xuan was indeed very strong.

If it weren't for the precious liquid Gu Qing had given her, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

“I’m not reconciled.”

Shi Xuan’s eyes were filled with unwillingness.

He had peerless talent, peerless cultivation techniques and divine abilities; his life was destined to be glorious and brilliant, to attain the Dao and achieve eternal freedom.

His Senior Brother was also the same.

“What good is being unreconciled?”

Luo Li didn't mock him, but answered seriously, then acted, digging out his Double Pupils and Supreme Bone, followed by Soul searching.

“Stop it!”

Lin Xuan couldn’t take it anymore, his features twisted into a hideous demon, his killing intent soaring to the sky.

Luo Li directly ignored Lin Xuan’s impotent rage, twisted the long spear in her hand, and Shi Xuan’s physical body instantly turned to dust.

His Soul was obliterated, never to reincarnate.

“You… are very good.”

“Jiang Yu, if I had known you would repay kindness with enmity, I wouldn’t have saved you back then. I hate it…” Lin Xuan roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot.

Jiang Yu: “…”

Madmen are indeed unreasonable, immersed in their own perceptions, unable to extricate themselves.
