Chapter 14: The Death of the Great Love Immortal
In a moment of desperation, you roared.
"Ningshuang, do you still remember the new Disciple trial?!"
Xia Ning霜 was stunned.
The days and nights you spent together flooded her mind.
A fierce glint flashed in your eyes. Seizing this opportunity, your two fingers, without mercy, heavily jabbed towards Xia Ning霜's eyes!
Xia Ning霜 suffered a severe injury.
You pressed the advantage, striking again with a ruthless hand!
Xia Ning霜 finally stopped moving.
She died.
"A lickspittle, a lickspittle, licks until the end, and gains nothing," Xiao Hao sighed with a hint of melancholy.
You quickly put away Xia Ning霜's corpse, while your mind raced, pondering how to explain this matter.
If the Law Enforcement Hall didn't investigate, that would be for the best.
If they did investigate, you would say that Xia Ning霜 had ill intentions towards you, attempting to pinch off your fingers with her eyelids.
You were forced to act in self-defense, and accidentally counter-killed her.
Unexpectedly, just as you put away Xia Ning霜's corpse,
A series of footsteps suddenly came from behind you.
You turned around and saw an unexpected person.
It was Yao Ling!
Yao Ling's beautiful eyes widened, looking at you with disbelief.
She covered her crimson lips with both hands, letting out a painful sob, tears streaming from her eyes.
"How could this be! Xiao Lang, how could you be such a person!"
Your expression became extremely grim.
One accident is a coincidence; two accidents are clearly orchestrated by someone.
You realized that you had been set up.
You quickly stepped forward, explaining softly.
Yao Ling, however, did not listen and turned to run.
You couldn't catch up, so you simply gave up.
You realized that your situation was extremely dangerous.
The person behind this move clearly intended to cut off your connection with your backing, and then deal with you.
You fully activated your escape Spell, fleeing all the way back to your Immortal Cave.
Before you could even catch your breath, a piercing whooshing sound came from outside the Immortal Cave!
You released your spiritual sense and discovered that the comers were a group of black-clad individuals.
Their leading strong Cultivator exuded a powerful True Qi fluctuation of Qi Refining Ninth Layer!
Among the other seven, two were Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and five were Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
The group, without a word, launched a torrential assault on you.
Your Cultivation was only Qi Refining Seventh Layer; a direct confrontation was no match for the group.
Fortunately, the Five Elements Great Evolution Sword Control Art you Cultivated had immense power.
Relying on the many Spells within the Cultivation Technique, you darted left and right, fighting and retreating, constantly engaging in guerrilla tactics to wear down the group.
Eventually, your True Qi was exhausted, and you were cornered in the Immortal Cave by the Qi Refining Ninth Layer strong Cultivator.
Just as the opponent was about to finish you off, you smiled.
With a thought, you activated the Xuanwu Formation.
The group of black-clad individuals were greatly alarmed, wanting to retreat from the grand formation, but it was too late.
You had taken advantage of the previous battle to silently lead the group into the formation!
The group was trapped by the Xuanwu Formation.
While activating the Xuanwu Formation, you recovered your True Qi.
Once you had mostly recovered, you defeated them one by one, slaying the entire group.
Thus, you, with one against many, defeated the strong with the weak, slaughtering all your enemies.
You checked the identities of the black-clad individuals.
You found that the group had come prepared, as they did not carry Disciple tokens.
Among the group, you saw an old acquaintance—Wang Han.
"These people are most likely sent by the Sun Family!"
"The Sun Family probably didn't expect me to be able to counter-kill this group. I am temporarily safe."
"But once the Sun Family reacts, they will definitely send stronger assassins to kill me!"
"I must seize this time difference to ensure my own safety!"
Looking at the Immortal Venerable in the simulator, who was decisive in battle and always remained calm, Xiao Hao was speechless.
Although the Immortal Venerable was despicable.
His abilities were indeed genuinely strong!
If it were him, facing these successive unexpected situations, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.
Let alone stabilizing the situation and finding a way to break the deadlock!
You hurriedly left the Immortal Cave and arrived at Yao Ling's Immortal Cave.
You requested to see Yao Ling, but the maidservant informed you that her Young Miss was in seclusion and not seeing outsiders.
You let out a long, drawn-out sigh.
You were not discouraged and instead went to the Hall of Alchemy.
Halfway there, you encountered reinforcements from the Sun Family.
A group of Qi Refining Peak strong Cultivators chased you all the way.
You unleashed your full speed, finally escaping to the Hall of Alchemy just as you were about to be caught.
You found the Hall Master of Pill Refinement Hall, showed your worth, and expressed your loyalty.
"As long as Hall Master is willing to save my life, I am willing to have a Restriction planted on me and become Hall Master's loyal dog from now on!"
The Hall Master of Pill Refinement Hall looked at you with interest.
He sighed, "As the ancients said, the waves behind push the waves ahead. I never thought that my Hall of Alchemy could produce a Devil Head like you!"
"Xiao Hao, your abilities are indeed formidable. Even when I was young, I was far from your equal."
"Unfortunately, your luck is too poor! If you had come half an hour earlier, I might truly have taken you in as my loyal dog!"
The Hall Master of Pill Refinement Hall gently waved his hand.
You saw three people successively enter the room.
Seeing who they were, your pupils constricted slightly.
The comers were none other than Yao Tianhai, Yao Ling, and Sun Xun Cai!
You suddenly understood.
It turned out that the ones setting you up behind the scenes were not just the Sun Family, but also your father-in-law.
Back then, Yao Tianhai had never truly thought highly of you; he only pretended to agree to you because he didn't want to upset his daughter.
In reality, he colluded with the Sun Family behind your back to put you to death.
"It seems that in the future, hooking up with the daughters of powerful figures requires even greater caution!"
Sun Xun Cai looked at you with a playful expression, "Kid, I never thought I would have been so mistaken back then!"
"It's truly a pity for such a talent like you!"
"If you were willing to be a good dog, you wouldn't have fallen to this point!"
"But it's a shame you don't know what's good for you and insist on being a person, so don't blame my Sun Family for being ruthless!"
Sun Xun Cai cupped his hands towards the Hall Master of Pill Refinement Hall.
"Senior Hall Master Zhao Huaizhen, as per our previous agreement, this kid should be handed over to my Sun Family for disposal!"
The Hall Master of Pill Refinement Hall nodded, indicating that Sun Xun Cai could proceed.
Your heart sank.
It seemed that the three factions had already negotiated before you arrived.
And you were nothing but an abandoned pawn!
Unwilling to die just like that, you looked at Yao Ling, your gaze burning as you stared at the woman who once deeply loved you.
"Ling'er, do you really want to watch me die?"
Yao Ling smiled beautifully but sadly, "Xiao Lang, you are so shameless, still trying to deceive me even now!"
Your expression remained unchanged, "I have never deceived you; it's just that you didn't want to hear my explanation."
Yao Ling shook her head, sobbing, completely disappointed in you.
Watching Sun Xun Cai approach you step by step,
Her crimson lips moved, and she suddenly asked, "Xiao Lang, did you... ever truly love me?"
You were about to speak.
But before the words could leave your mouth, the unromantic Sun Xun Cai slapped you to death.
You died...
Looking at the simulation information that had stopped moving.
Xiao Hao's emotions were a mix of five flavors.
This simulation, though not the longest-lived one.
But it was the most informative and also the most rewarding!
"What is love in this world, that it makes people willing to die for each other!"
This simulation has ended. You may choose one of the following rewards:
