Chapter 1760: Successfully Exacting Revenge
A look of delight appeared on An Lin’s face when he saw the three new arrivals. “Xiaolan! You’ve come at just the right time. Look, I’ve restrained both the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton and Ember for you! I’ve been waiting for you to arrive so that you can exact your revenge!”
“M-hm!” Xu Xiaolan nodded and chuckled. “I had initially thought that I would still need to experience an intense battle. I didn’t expect that my two nemeses would already be lying on the ground like dead dogs.”
She unsheathed her Dragon Sparrow Sword and gracefully landed before Ember’s body.
Ember’s body had already been scorched charcoal-black. Moreover, its spirit body was in tatters, and its four limbs had also been crippled. It appeared to be in an extremely miserable state.
A sword that contained both a holy flame and the power of lightning was placed onto Ember’s neck. “Ember, you’re the murderer who killed both my parents, Xu Guanyun and Zhu Yishuang. As their daughter, I’m here to avenge their deaths today.”
Ember was momentarily dazed. Then, its body started to tremble violently. “So that’s how it is… No wonder An Lin didn’t kill me this entire time. So it turns out that he was waiting for you to personally deal with this matter…
“Heh… who would’ve thought? Xu Guanyun and Zhu Yishuang truly gave birth to a good daughter…”
Ember gazed at the mighty female standing before it. Her two interconnected divine daos were as profound as the deep sea. It knew that if it fought against Xu Xiaolan, the victor would very likely still be Xu Xiaolan.
“Go repent before my parents,” Xu Xiaolan said softly.
After saying this, her Dragon Sparrow Sword was just about to slash down…
“Wait!” An Lin suddenly called for her to stop at this moment.
Although Xu Xiaolan was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent, she still forcibly stopped her slas.h.i.+ng motion upon hearing An Lin’s shout. She looked at An Lin in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
A flicker of hope burned in Ember’s eyes.
“It’ll be too lenient to let it die just like this,” An Lin explained. “I still have an extremely good way of tormenting it. I’ll be able to punish it in a very fitting manner.”
Ember wanted to curse aloud upon hearing this. It had already been mercilessly pummeled by An Lin for such a long time. Was that not tormenting enough?
Xu Xiaolan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. “How are you going to torment it?”
“Do you still remember my experience of turning into a blade of gra.s.s?” An Lin asked.
“Of course.” A look of heartache appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face.
She felt sorry for An Lin just thinking about what he had gone through.
“Right now, I can force Ember to experience that kind of suffering. Moreover, it’ll be able to experience the pain one hundred percent. I’ve perfected the Heavenly Ghost Palm, a palm technique that contains a supremely powerful yin power. It can ignore the opponent’s divine sense defense and unleash the full damage of the Extreme Evil Power!”
There was an expectant glimmer in Xu Xiaolan’s eyes. “Fine, I’ll leave it to you then. I also feel that it’ll be too lenient to let it die just like this.”
“You… what are you guys trying to do… My pain receptors have already become degraded. You’ll never be able to torment me…” A sense of foreboding welled up in Ember’s heart.
“Is that right?” An Lin chuckled as his palm suddenly became jet-black. Then, he viciously slapped his palm onto Ember’s forehead. “Heavenly Ghost Palm!”
Bam!
A black matter suddenly surged into Ember’s body.
Ember’s eyes widened as its body suddenly began to convulse.
“Ah… Ahhh!”
Ember—who had just claimed that its pain receptors had already become degraded—immediately started to howl in extreme anguish.
These anguished howls were at least one hundred times more wretched than when it was being pummeled by An Lin. A harrowing chill welled up in the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton and the Demonic Frost Star’s hearts.
Is An Lin a demon? What kind of pain is needed to make Ember howl in such an agonized manner?
Even Xu Xiaolan was stunned by this sight. She didn’t expect for An Lin’s spell technique to bring Ember such a humongous amount of suffering. Just listening to Ember’s anguished wails was painful. However, it felt extremely satisfying!
“I beg you… please kill me now… ahhh!” Tears streamed down Ember’s face as it wailed in anguish and begged Xu Xiaolan to bring its suffering to an end.
Xu Xiaolan remained aloof and indifferent. However, she was feeling extremely delighted in her mind.
Pain for her enemy was joy for her!
She had already dreamed of avenging her parents’ deaths numerous times. However, none of them had been as satisfying as this. Right now, her enemy was so tormented that it was actually begging her to end its life!
One had to realize, this was a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage! What kind of monstrous suffering could cause it to beg for death?
Xu Xiaolan looked up at the sky and murmured, “Mom, Dad… do you see this? Our enemy is sprawled on the ground and begging me to kill it…”
“Kill me… Please kill me… I admit my crimes… Please just kill me…” Ember’s body convulsed violently as it decayed then healed, then decayed then healed… The most sinister pain in the world wreaked havoc in its body and allowed it to experience the true meaning of agony.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan completely ignored Ember’s pleas for death.
“Ahhh… ahhh!” Ember’s eyes suddenly rolled into its head. Then, its mouth gaped unbelievably wide as its spirit body started to fracture and crumble. At the same time, its aura also started to wilt rapidly.
“Huh? What’s going on?” Xu Xiaolan was momentarily dazed.
“Hurry!” An Lin shouted frantically. “Xiaolan, hurry up and kill it. Otherwise, it’ll be killed by the agony induced by my spell technique!”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
The Dragon Sparrow Sword whistled through the air. Ember—a Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage cultivator who was well-renowned throughout the continent—was killed just like that.
Following the death of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator, heaven and earth also started to wail in mourning.
“Phew…” Xu Xiaolan exhaled heavily before turning her gaze to the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton, who was currently sealed within the Karma Star Protection Formation.
The G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton shuddered in fright. It turned toward Liu Mingxuan and Liu Qianhuan and pleaded, “Um… Can you guys please kill me?”
Liu Qianhuan chuckled coldly. “Heh.”
Liu Mingxuan remained silent as he cast another escape prevention seal onto the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton.
In no time, the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton’s wretched wails rang through the battlefield once more.
This was the first time that An Lin had used the Perfected Heavenly Ghost Palm, and its effects were far more terrifying than he had imagined. The G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton—a being which was composed of only bones—cried like a baby under its effects.
No, its agonized wails were far worse than a baby’s cry. It seemed as if the G.o.d Engulfing Skeleton was enduring the worst suffering in the entire world.
This suffering made it regret being born into this world. Why did Mama give birth to me? Why do I have to suffer such inhumane pain?
Just as it was about to die from the pain, Xu Xiaolan swung her sword and ended its life.
The Mourning of Heaven and Earth swept through the surroundings once more.
The green-robed female didn’t feel any sense of mourning as she gazed at the phenomenon in the sky. Rather, she felt a sense of relief and clarity. “Mom, Dad… your daughter has avenged your deaths…”
As though a thought had suddenly occurred to her, Xu Xiaolan extended her arm and grabbed onto An Lin’s hand. She looked toward the sky and introduced seriously, “Of course, I couldn’t have done this without An Lin’s help… M-hm, this is who I’ll be with in the future…”
A slight blush appeared on the female’s beautiful face.
An Lin was caught off guard by Xu Xiaolan’s sudden utterances. However, he quickly composed himself before smiling and waving at the sky. “Mom, Dad, rest a.s.sured. I’ll definitely take good care of Xiaolan!”
