Chapter 360 - 352: Battlefield of the Masters
Ouyang Ancestor was almost driven mad with anger. Because of two young brats, he lost an arm and an eye.
Even if he were to chop them into pieces, it wouldn’t lessen the hatred in his heart.
What’s even more infuriating is that the time has already passed.
Even if the sacrificial ceremony could continue, the success rate would be greatly reduced.
All the changes were caused by these two.
Throwing them into the ’Snow Melting Pool’ would be too light; today’s losses are immeasurable.
A fierce fire burned in his heart.
On the other side, Cheng Xiaoxiao regained some consciousness after a dizzying blow.
She glanced at the only eye of Ouyang Ancestor, the other bleeding profusely, and felt a surge of satisfaction.
"What, want to kill me? Then, just do it quickly..."
Cheng Xiaoxiao wished to taunt him more, to irritate him, but it was too painful to speak.
Each word she uttered felt like tenfold needle-like stabs in her organs.
She felt she couldn’t hold on much longer.
The other calmed down instead because of her words.
"Dying would be too easy for you."
As he said this, he pulled out a small square box from his sleeve.
Inside the box was a blood-red Poisonous Insect, slowly wriggling leisurely.
Ouyang Ancestor placed the box next to Cheng Xiaoxiao’s hand.
The Poisonous Insect caught the scent of blood, became unusually excited, wriggled its body, and leisurely crawled out, shaking the horns on its head as if confirming its direction, then crawled towards Cheng Xiaoxiao’s arm.
Shit, this is so disgusting.
Though her broken body pained her unbearably, her fear of this creature hadn’t diminished in the slightest. She tried moving her fingers, finding they still had feeling, and attempted to move her arm away from the insect.
She barely managed to move slightly, enduring excruciating pain, just as the Poisonous Insect was about to crawl onto her fingers.
Just that tiny movement caused beads of sweat the size of beans to dribble down her forehead.
As she summoned all her strength to move away a little more,
her forearm was stomped on, causing pain so intense she couldn’t even gasp.
Feeling the world spinning around her.
Pain~!
Endless and boundless... no end!
’77, 77, where are you?’
Cheng Xiaoxiao desperately called out in her mind with her last shred of sanity.
’Quick, give me some poison, I’d rather die than be taken over by the Poisonous Insect, than become a walking corpse.’
Her mind was quiet, with no response.
Cheng Xiaoxiao fell into despair...
She had heard of biting one’s tongue to commit suicide...
Yet, even thinking was arduous for her now, let alone biting her tongue, besides, biting one’s tongue might not even lead to death.
Despite her blurry consciousness, she could still clearly feel something crawling up her fingers...!
Heh heh!
Thinking of controlling her... not a chance, not even a window!
She gave a tragic yet eerie smile,
Glancing at Zhou Yanlan, she knew he had taken the forbidden drug, the time wasn’t up yet. He could escape; he shouldn’t be stuck here fighting to the death; it wasn’t worth it.
Sigh! Having such a handsome guy accompany her in death, she could die without regret.
Goodbye, to her... family.
With such severe injuries, even if she were transported back, she might not survive; she would only frighten her family, bringing them sorrow and grief, so perhaps this was better. Moreover, having not completed her mission, death was inevitable.
Her hollow gaze began to drift into the distance, past events flashing back in her mind like a slideshow.
At this moment, she realized she had let down so many people. If her father knew she was gone, she wondered if he would withstand such a blow.
And Xiaoyuan and Brother Jia, Uncle’s family, the people of Qingshan Village, the fellow villagers who worked hard with her to create a home...
The Underground City was still in the half-built stage, facilities incomplete, personnel unevenly educated, making it easy for backlash.
She had only left enough supplies for three months, if she had known, she would have left everything. She wondered if they could survive the cold wave; she started many things, uncertain about how they would develop without her.
There was also Xiao Li in the Crystal Pendant, it hadn’t grown up yet, and she didn’t know if it could escape and survive after her death, if it could grow independently, she had just prompted it with her mind to find a chance to escape on its own.
As for the system, there might be no way to separate from it, they might end up being scattered into smoke and ashes together; Xiao Tongzi, though sometimes dim-witted, after being together for so long, she had already considered it her closest partner.
She thought of scattered bits and pieces.
Uh! Unwillingness surged in her heart, suddenly she didn’t want to die.
She still had a bright, youthful life ahead, hadn’t enjoyed life, hadn’t experienced love, there were still so many dreams waiting to be fulfilled; was she really going to fade into history and time just like this?
She had overestimated herself.
She thought she was the heroine, but she turned out to be just a minor character.
How ironic!
When the Poisonous Insect was about to enter her body through her palm, her eerie smile widened.
A small blade, glinting with a ghostly light, appeared between her thumb and index finger.
Using the last of her strength, she clenched her fists, her palm instantly covered with blood.
A high-carbon steel utility blade, just for you... old monster.
Screech~!
A shrill cry!
The sound was so faint, Cheng Xiaoxiao, in her unclear consciousness, didn’t hear it, but Ouyang Ancestor, who had good hearing, was instantly alarmed.
His sharp gaze fixed on the blood-saturated fist oozing blood through the gaps between fingers.
His king insect... was dead, dead!
After savoring the old monster’s twisted expression, she contentedly closed her eyes.
The surroundings became serene and distant.
It seemed as though wind brushed across her face!
Or maybe it was an illusion...
Sikong Yinlong, who had just arrived, looked at the Dragon Ball of the Divination Dragon Staff, its light representing the variable grew dimmer.
An invisible force pulled towards the person lying on the ground like a tattered rag, motionless.
The elder standing by her side was about to stomp her to dust in anger.
An enraged Sikong Yinlong launched a palm strike directly.
"Outrageous!"
The variable he had found after much hardship almost turned to dust before him;
how could he swallow this anger.
Ouyang Ancestor, seeing the fierce approach of the opponent, burning with rage, with power not inferior to him,
was filled with doubt, "Who are you? This is the internal affair of the Ouyang Family, I hope you won’t interfere."
"Hmph, less nonsense. You moved against my person and still want me not to interfere; you have a lot of nerve."
Sikong Yinlong completely disregarded any chance for the other to speak more nonsense.
Attacking swiftly and fiercely, with overwhelming momentum, coming at him like a mountain or a tsunami, Ouyang Ancestor had to give up on killing the person before him.
Filled with even more doubts, where did this person come from, with such young age and such power, it was really unfathomable.
The scene was filled with a raging storm, the world turned dark.
The battlefield between two Innate Great Grandmasters wasn’t so gentle, the decoration in the hall shattered with loud bangs, the exquisite, luxurious ceiling decor mixed with Luminous Pearls broke apart and fell.
