Chapter 578: Chapter 338: If itâs all falling apart, itâs all mine!
The child with his chest pierced and flesh around the wound charred by thunder lay silently on the ground. His pale face still held traces of fear and desperation before death, and a longing for life.
âWere you in such a rush to kill him?â
After receiving the message and rushing over, the blonde girl looked down at the lifeless chosen one of Three Saints Village on the ground. She turned to face Feng Qingâan, who still had a trace of a smile on his face. Her lively spirit had turned quite somber.
âCouldnât you have waited for me to arrive?â
âAfter all, he was your friend for many years. If I waited for you to arrive, it might have complicated things, so I acted. It wasnât that I was keen on killing; I just seized the opportunity once I found him. He didnât go soft on me either.â
Feng Qingâan watched as Hua Qingyu, who had undergone a massive change, almost as if she was transformed into a different person. His smile faded slightly, and his expression became particularly solemn.
He had, of course, considered sparing Tao Baibai out of respect for Hua Qingyu. After all, Hua Qingyu had been very good to him. But such a thought was immediately quashed by himself.
This was the chosen one of the Three Saints Village who wanted to take his life. To spare such a person would undoubtedly be irresponsible towards his own life, and even indulgent towards those who wanted to harm him.
Only by using ruthless means to exterminate anyone who wanted to harm him in the most brutal way possible, could he deter those with malicious intentions.
That would make them hesitate and weigh pros and cons before they acted. Knowing that there would be no consequences could make people bold, and in the future, those who wished to move against him would not have so many inhibitions.
ââŠâ
Upon hearing Feng Qingâanâs words, Hua Qingyu suddenly fell into a prolonged silence. It was a common phrase among cultivators: âhe who kills, must be killedâ, If her friend did attempt to harm Feng Qingâan, then perhaps his current demise was inevitable.
âItâs not that I donât believe your words. I just still canât believe that he would make a move against you. He was my good friend. Seeing my attitude towards you, why would he want to harm you?â
âI knew you would ask that.â
Although Feng Qingâan had killed someone, he hadnât silenced them. This was to prepare for situations like this. ÆĐłeewebnovŃl.com
He and Hua Qingyu hadnât known each other for very long. How long had the chosen one of the Three Saints Village known Hua Qingyu? The credibility of their words was self-evident. Feng Qingâan had this self-knowledge.
âCome out!â
A gloomy fog spread beneath Feng Qingâanâs feet. The area where he stood, within a radius of about three feet, looked almost identical to the underworld.
Pallid Wandering Souls floated in it. Following Feng Qingâanâs thought, a Wandering Soul dropped down, turning into a figure identical to the boy who lay on the ground, with a hole in his chest. His eyes were full of confusion.
However, as Feng Qingâan released the restriction, the confusion in this ghastly Wandering Soulâs eyes quickly faded. Afterwards, panic and terror appeared in his eyes. When he saw the girl with blonde hair, a strong joy and hope for life quickly surged in his eyes.
However, when his gaze landed on the familiar, yet somewhat strange corpse of the boy lying beside him, the joy on his face disappeared instantaneously, and the hope in his eyes was extinguished in that moment.
He realized something and, with some disbelief, raised his hand and lowered his head, only to see a pair of somewhat translucent palms.
âAm I already deadâŠâ
âNo, as a human being you are indeed dead, but for a cultivator, this may be a new beginning for you. You can continue to live under me, as a ghost cultivator.â
Feng Qingâan looked at this newly formed ghost and interrupted him.
Netherworld!
As its name suggested, it had some characteristics of the netherworld. It could accommodate Ghost Creatures, but Feng Qingâan could manipulate these Ghost Creatures. Their thoughts couldnât escape his scrutiny.
âDoes this count as living?â
A bleak smile appeared on Tao Baibaiâs face. From being a highly talented disciple to a lowly ghost that couldnât even solidify its body, let alone resist, he couldnât accept such a change.
âIf you believe it is, then it is. If not, be honest and tell me what you did. Iâll give you a quick end and find you some peace!â
âMr. Bai, did you want to kill Feng Qingâan?â
Hua Qingyu looked complicatedly at her former friend who had now turned into a Wandering Soul.
â⊠Yes, I wanted to kill him!â
Tao Baibai was silent for a moment, and then sighed heavily. There was no point in hiding anything now that he had ended up like this. He didnât have much else to lose.
âWhy?â
The blonde girl furrowed her eyebrows, her eyes filled with confusion. She didnât understand why her friend wanted to kill the person she cared about. What was the reason?
âWhatâs the point of discussing this now? I admit, I wanted to kill him. Falling into this state is all my own doing!â
Tao Baibai was still unwilling to reveal the reason at this point, but Feng Qingâan showed an amused expression. He had gleaned the soulâs thoughts and understood the reason. He looked at the dazzling girl beside him, beauty still radiating even in her distress, and couldnât help but sigh.
âOh, the beauty brings disasters!â
âWhat do you mean?â
Hearing Feng Qingâanâs sigh, the already melancholic Hua Qingyu turned her gaze towards him, her eyes somewhat sharp.
