Chapter 29: You're Looking for Death
Ling Lin vaguely felt that the devouring power was due to his own soul, which had crossed over and merged with the residual soul in this body, unexpectedly producing a special product after fusion.
The power of devouring is very strong, and this is undeniable. However, Ling Lin discovered that he fundamentally didn't know how to use it, only roughly using it, and sometimes even being completely passive, just like the combination of killing intent and devouring power this time. Although the result was pretty good, everything wasn't under Ling Lin's control. This feeling was very unpleasant! Ling Lin furrowed his brow, he must carefully study this strange devouring power. When he could truly grasp it, it would absolutely become one of his greatest killing tools.
But now is not the time for research. Walking in the dense forest, Ling Lin was like taking a leisurely stroll in his own backyard, relaxed and carefree. After condensing his killing intent, the fierce aura on Ling Lin's body that was produced from killing ferocious beasts had completely disappeared.
Her face was serene, her expression calm and unruffled, with a strange power that soothed the soul. Ling Lin stepped through the dense forest, finally reaching the time to leave.
He was going to leave, the murderous intent had already solidified, and staying here didn't make much sense anymore. Although the cultivation of his murderous aura might be slower outside, he had a compelling reason to leave - that Purple Mansion's Great Demon hadn't appeared for several days. At first, Ling Lin thought it should have given up on pursuing him. However, as time passed, the unease in Ling Lin's heart grew stronger.
Thinking of this, Linglin's footsteps suddenly quickened a lot. Step by step, seemingly slow but actually swift, he rushed towards the outermost part of the mountain range.
Take a step, think of a step, this is the current situation of Ling Lin. Leaving the Lianyun Mountains, where should he go? Shaking his head, Ling Lin dispersed the confusion in his heart and self-mocked, "When did I become like this too? Can't...heh...let go?"
In the woods, Ling Lin's figure was rapidly disappearing in a flash of light.
Suddenly, Ling Lin's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, his swift figure stopping in its tracks. A familiar voice drifted into his ears from up ahead. Two figures that had gradually been forgotten suddenly became clear in Ling Lin's mind once again. It was them!
"Hmph, I see where you can run to now?" Du Han looked at the Shi Ning in front of him and sneered, "I wonder who will come to save you this time."
In the vast outskirts of Lianyun Mountains, he and Meng Shan had been chasing after Shi Ning for half a month. Today, they finally caught up with her. "That damned monkey," Du Han cursed under his breath. That day, if it weren't for that giant ape that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Shi Ning would have already become a soul under his command. She wouldn't have been able to escape in the chaos. And in this half-month period, they wouldn't have had to suffer and struggle here either.
That day, just as Poetic Condensation's Yuan force was almost depleted and Du Han was about to speed up, a shocking roar came from behind. A huge shadow covered him and Meng Shan's figures. Suddenly turning his head back, Du Han's eyes narrowed, and it turned out to be a giant ape the size of a small mountain. "Early Heaven stage." Du Han's heart skipped a beat. Next, the giant ape clenched its fists, pounded its chest, and let out a deafening "rumble" sound. Its massive foot stepped forward, pouncing towards the three of them. And since Du Han and the other two were closest to the giant ape, they naturally became the first target.
His foot slipped, Du Han didn't notice the giant ape behind him, but instead darted towards Shi Ning like lightning. He thought to himself: I'll kill Shi Ning first and then deal with this damned beast later.
However, heaven did not comply with his wishes. With a shrill breaking sound, a fist as big as a millstone, covered in fur, suddenly appeared before him, and the fierce airflow made Du Han's cheek ache.
"Looking for death!" Du Han burst into rage, furious and violent. He collided with the giant ape, two unequal bodies clashing fiercely in a intense battle.
"Boom~~" The trees nearby were ravaged, as if two giant destructive machines were rampaging through the forest. Around Du Han and Jiao Ye's battlefield, large swaths of trees were cut down at the waist by the fierce energy, some even being crushed into powder by the colliding energies.
"Mountains, go kill her!" With a sudden burst of strength, he knocked the giant ape back several steps and shouted to Mountains beside him who was also under attack by the giant ape. Just now, the giant ape had actually managed to entangle both of them with its brute force. Looking at Poetic Condensation who had escaped again, Du Han knew that Mountains' hope of catching up to her was already slim. A wisp of evil fire rose in his heart, and a thread of black mist spread through his eyes as he looked at the giant ape before him, his mouth curling into an icy smile. "Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!"
"What a great opportunity." Looking at the giant ape that suddenly appeared and inexplicably blocked Du Han's path, Shi Ning's heart was filled with excitement. This ferocious giant ape now seemed especially lovely in her eyes. Summoning a small amount of yuan energy, Shi Ning's body disappeared into the dark night.
……
"You were lucky last time." Looking at the long scar on his arm, Du Han's eyes became even more menacing. It seemed that since that day, their luck had started to decline. In the past few days, while chasing after Shi Ning, they had encountered several fierce beasts in the Xiantian realm. Once, they even ran into a late-stage Xiantian red python tiger. If it weren't for the fact that they had run fast, they might have already been digested by the beast. Despite this, his arm still bore a deep scar from the python's light scratch.
"It seems that this time I will really die here." Under Shiying's pale face, a few gorgeous blood flowers bloomed on her white robe. At this moment, she was already close to exhaustion. If it weren't for relying on a thread of inexplicable thoughts, she would have collapsed long ago.
"I really want to see him again." Po, who is about to face death, thinks not of her father far away in Qingyuan Sect, but of the figure that appeared in her life for a short time and left a deep impression on her.
"No, it's better if he doesn't show up. This guy is only at the Martial Path stage." A faint, beautiful smile bloomed on Shi Ning's pale face, and sweet memories flashed through her mind. Facing death, she didn't feel much fear, but rather a deep sense of melancholy and reluctance. She regretted it; that day, she shouldn't have stormed off without even listening to his explanation.
With a ferocious and pathological intensity, Du Han pointed at Shi Ningning. "Bump." Shi Ningning's body suddenly flew up and then crashed to the ground.
"Pffft." Blood splattered everywhere, and Poetic condensed a large mouthful of blood. She felt extremely tired, her consciousness seemed to be slowly drifting away from herself. She knew that she hadn't died yet only because this perverted guy didn't want to kill her off in one go. It was just like a cat playing with a mouse, tormenting it to the extreme before killing it.
Looking at the dying Shi Ning, Du Han's eyes showed an even more abnormal fervor. "Die." His palm pushed forward, and a black aura burst out.
Is it finally time to die? Shi Ning slowly closed her eyes, "Goodbye." She didn't see that at this moment, a jade pendant she had carried with her since childhood was emitting a strong red glow in her bosom.
"Are you looking for trouble?"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, accompanied by a fierce and terrifying aura, as if a devil from hell had returned to the world, bringing with it an earth-shattering killing intent.
