Chapter 595: 11.121 First Green Star - Punishment World: "Purgatory" (18)
WHOOSHED~
The sound of the wind clashing with metal was heard as the spear flew towards Seraphim Xu. The array around the arena was even destroyed by Chu Mo"s attack. It seems all attacks from inside the array wouldn"t cause any effects on the barrier created by the formation itself. Everyone from the inside could attack those outside the array while keeping themselves protected.
"Mortal, your attack wouldn"t reach the Seraphim!"
"Sneers* a weak attack. Even I alone could block it!"
"Shut up! I will block it for Seraphim!!"
"For Legion Lord"s safety!!!"
The Archangels blocked the path of the spear thinking that it was nothing of that sort of powerful attack. Chu Mo watches their antics showing their loyalty but the emotion in his eyes was disdain as if looking at fools.
Chu Mo spoke, "Good~ you"ve all gathered in one spot~"
{Accelerate} This is Chu Mo speaking Ancient Runes.
The spear he threw suddenly increased in speed beyond normal means. If it was before the attack was simple and weak but after it accelerated the power within qi also increases and the speed is something no one could dodge. With the speed of light, the spear flew through the bodies of the Archangels and caused Seraphim Xu"s body to separate from the waist to above.
The blood of the Angels explodes in the area causing the other races stunned in disbelief.
Seraphim Xu before his body fell apart. He stared at Chu Mo with eyes that couldn"t believe the reality of the difference in their strengths. He thought he had been one of the strongest false G.o.ds in the Empyrean Domain but who would have thought this player who looks so simple-minded would become someone who is decisive and crafty in the end.
He used a casual mood to make them let their guards down and at the last moment, he increased not only the speed of his attack but also enhanced the strength he used. He had also felt an unknown strength in that spear.
Seraphim Xu"s last words, "You... are not humans at all, do you? You two at least."
Everyone watches as the last spark of life in the Seraphim"s eyes fades. His upper body was no longer supported by his lower body as the holes on his stomach almost to the largest s.p.a.ce leaving a large opening and the remaining flesh on both sides could no longer support the weight of the body and head.
From the whole one could see a part of his intestines falling from above. It hangs loosely and even falls out of the body to the hole that was left behind. It only took a few words before the strongest of the Angel race died under the one attack of Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was cleaning his ear like thugs in the corner of the road as he heard what Seraphim Xu had just said.
"We are mortal when we are weaker than you and not human if we are stronger. Tsk! Doesn"t that sound ridiculous?" commented Chu Mo.
The people of the other races were flabbergasted by the fact that Chu Mo is telling the truth. Regardless, the last words before a Seraphim died to linger within their ears.
"No human? Are they real G.o.ds then!?"
Eyes of incredulity wander on the beings of Lan She and Chu Mo. All attention had fallen on this couple. On the other ground at the stage, Han Ya and An Yuan helped in easing Zane"s pain. Their immortality could only heal the wounds but the pain left behind is still there. Qi Yun and Zane were only tolerating the pain but their white faces betrayed them.
An Yuan said, "Place Brother Zane and Brother Qi near me. I will cast a light spell to remove the lingering pain."
Qi Yun"s face, which completely turned pale from pain after dying twice, was now covered in a cold sweat. Zane is not in good condition as well as his pain is akin to getting burned alive yet unable to die.
Sylvie was a bit shy as he hugged the conscious Zane in his lap and said to An Yuan and the others, "Thank you for your help."
Han Ya said, "There is no need for thanks, Syl. It is good that we have found you here."
"That"s right, Sister-in-law," said An Yuan while casting a light spell over Qi Yun and Zane. Under the bright light of the holy fell cure, the paleness of their skin faded, replaced with a rosy-colored healthiness.
"My name is An Yuan. Xiao Ya"s lover. Nice to meet you, Brother Sylvie!"
"It"s my pleasure to meet you, Yuan," responded Sylvie with a smile.
Meanwhile, while the rest of the team were busy healing Zane and Qi Yun, at the corner Qi Lanyu and Yu Suya didn"t stop using all the props An Yuan had bought to bring back Archangel Ming"s memories.
Qi Lanyu was a bit grumpy at the moment, "Nothing is useful at all! Buh~"
"It"s alright. I"ve seen Brother Chu kill that high tanking-looking angel just now. Maybe his memories would return. Brother Zane"s lover had returned to our side too after killing that Fallen G.o.d called Lucien." said Yu Suya.
Qi Lanyu said, "I wish for Brother Liang"s memories to return. Then make sure to have him remember how he killed big brother twice with his own hands. G.o.d! When I saw him dig out big brother"s heart and saw that beating heart in his palm I panicked and was absolutely scared okay!? Thank G.o.d Lord Hei gave us limited time immortality or Big Brother would have died in this place!"
"Shush~ you"re getting angry again. Calm down. It"s alright now. Since we found Brother Liang we should be able to leave the Punishment World now." said Yu Suya while coaxing her lover.
Without these two flirting lovers knowing the chained Archangel before they had been strangely quiet. At this moment, Archangel Ming was in a state of disbelief. A Series of unknown memories are flashing in his head. It felt extremely uncomfortable and what made him devastated is that most memories in his head are about one single person. A single Qi Yun. The very same mortal he had killed twice with his own hands.
"Brother A"Liang... will you really bring ma and my sister out of this game?"
"Life and Death contract!? No, it is unfair to your side. I am a weak siren after all."
"Brother A"Liang, Yun promises to never betray you so you must definitely protect me okay~?"
"Brother A"Liang I love you the most!"
"Brother Liang you don"t know how much I miss..."
Then the scene of his hand piercing his beloved"s chest appeared vividly in his mind. He could still recall the softness of the flesh, the hardness of the bone of the rib cage that he broke forcefully, the movement of the beating heart he had dug out himself, and the thick scent of blood of Qi Yun.
As well as the shock on Qi Yun"s face mixing with sadness and yearning staring at him while wanting to reach out but failing to do so.
"Brother A"Liang..."
"A"Liang..."
He"s gone crazy in pain and sadness. Archangel Ming screamed his lungs out as his blood trails his face. His agonizing screams shocked everyone in the arena including Lan She and Chu Mo who were busy cleaning up the place.
AAAAHHHHH!!!!
Astonishment, Qi Lanyu, and Yu Suya took a few steps back from the crazy angel.
"W-What happened to him!?" asked Qi Lanyu.
Yu Suya could see the undeniable pain on his face and thought of something.
"Did his memories return!? And like you said, his memories of killing Brother Yun must have made him lose his mind," said Yu Suya.
Shocked, Qi Lanyu said, "What?! I"m just joking!!!"
AAAAAAHHHHH AAGGHHHHH!!!!
"What should we do now?" asked Qi Lanyu.
Before they could react a shadow reached out to hug the ballistic Archangel. As expected it was none other than Qi Yun, the other half of this Archangel. Qi Yun didn"t coax Archangel Ming, instead sang a song that only the two of them knew.
Mermaid"s singing has a pacifying effect on a specialized target. Qi Yun"s choir-like voice spreads in the area. It is a love song that he made and dedicated to his lover Ming Liang.
For a moment, only the amount of Qi Yun"s singing could be heard and everyone instinctively shut their mouth to listen. Unexpectedly, they were also somewhat affected by the voice of this Siren.
Qi Yun sings for a while and the man going crazy in his embrace slowly calms down. He also unlocked the Nether Rings on his lover"s hands and feet. Ming Liang, who finally remembered everything, reached out his trembling arms and tightly wrapped them on Qi Yun"s waist. As if he was afraid that he is dreaming and his most precious person is already dead. Died under his own hands. Hidden to the others, the tears of Ming Liang continue to stroll down.
With a hoa.r.s.e and trembling voice sounding angelic due to his bloodline entering the ears of Qi Yun said, "Yun"er, I"m sorry. I never wanted to... hurt you like that. I... I..."
A gentle patting was felt on his head and back. The soft pats and soothing song help Ming Liang to calm down even further. He embraces the one he had lost for years. He almost lost him thankfully the True G.o.ds gave him the chance to repay his lover with his remaining life.

On the other hand, back to the Empyrean Domain.
Hei Mo and Hei Anjing had spent enough time together. Grandfather and Grandson. This is the first time these two had to spend time as a family like this. Their past isn"t that worth mentioning as both had different goals and wants at that time. The greedy patriarch wanted power while the cold-hearted young lord wanted his other half.
But now they can reach a stage where they could sit at the same table and have a peaceful conversation together. Seeing that the happy conversation between the two is about to end, Ye Xiajie opened up about the serious topics they must talk about. The Ye Gui Race and its notorious leader, Ye Mo.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Old man, Where"s Ye Mo? You should at least know where he is right?"
"I know. But I couldn"t tell you..." said Hei Mo but he didn"t explain why and instead opened his robe showing countless curse marks on his body, especially in his heart and soul.
"He placed a soul curse on me. Every time I spoke a word about his location this curse would instantly kill me and I wouldn"t be able to say a word," explained Hei Mo.
Ye Xiajie"s face turned dark upon seeing the various curses on his body. He could see that most of them are deadly curses. Je tried removing it but was stopped by Hei Anjing.
Hei Anjing spoke, "Stop. The curse is weaved together. It cannot be removed by removing it one by one. It must be removed all at the same time. I couldn"t remove it but... My currency cultivation isn"t enough. The caster is a Celestial G.o.d near Immortal State. My current cultivation is only at High G.o.d."
"It"s alright, Jing"er. Grandfather is okay," said Hei Mo.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Can Siw.a.n.g remove it?"
Hei Anjing shook his head and said, "No. Uncle Si is proficient with a light spell. He cannot handle a weave curse like this, something that cannot be purified by light elements as what was used is blood element instead. Uncle Baojun would remove it but... Grandpa you can"t leave this domain don"t you?"
With a helpless smile on his face, Hei Mo pats Hei Anjing"s head gently with a helpless smile on his face.
"Ye Mo trapped my soul in this s.p.a.ce. After spending a long time here, my soul has long integrated here. I could no longer leave." said Hei Mo. "It"s okay. Don"t worry about it. I will pa.s.s to you my memories instead and... I want you to kill me and let me pa.s.s on peacefully."
He moved his gaze from his grandson and lost his smile when facing Ye Xiajie. He had hated this pig who stole their Hei Family"s most precious cabbage. So even though Ye Xiajie is the reincarnation of the Supreme G.o.d of Void, he longer fears him but instead doesn"t like him like how Hei Jue felt towards Ye Xiajie. They both saw Ye Xiajie as someone stealing their baby.
"You do it. After I die, there are a few minutes of freedom before my soul enters reincarnation. I would pa.s.s my memories to you in that split moment." said Hei Mo.
With hesitation imprinted on his face, he glanced at his wife who was in fright beside him, and sighed in regret.
"I... Understand," said Ye Xiajie.
