"ah--!!"
Bai Yanfeng's screams ripped through the night sky. His body felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, every muscle spasming. Veins bulged beneath his skin, writhing like countless twisted earthworms. His eyeballs bulged from their sockets, bloodshot, yet his pupils were eerily contracted to the size of pinpoints.
"Why...why..." He gritted his teeth, squeezing out broken words from between them.
In his mind, Bai Di's soul was transforming into thousands of poisonous needles, mercilessly piercing his consciousness.
The pain was far beyond physical torture; it felt like someone was stirring his brains with a red-hot iron hook.
He didn't understand why this was happening!
When Bai Di fell down as a child, he was the first to rush over and pick her up; when Bai Di encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, he secretly saved his own elixirs for her; when Bai Ying appeared, her parents were still somewhat concerned about Bai Ying, but he always stood by Bai Di's side...
"Xiao Di...look at me..." Bai Yanfeng's consciousness coalesced in his sea of consciousness, and he stretched out his hand with trembling hands, "I'm your older brother..."
His response was a chilling, bone-piercing sword aura.
Bai Di's soul manifested into human form, holding a conjured longsword in his hand, its blade wrapped with strange blood-red patterns.
"Of course I know you're the older brother." She tilted her head, revealing an innocent smile, but her actions were ruthless. "That's why your body is the most suitable for me."
A flash of sword light, and a corner of Bai Yanfeng's divine consciousness was sliced off. The pain caused him to kneel on the ground, his soul trembling.
He couldn't believe that the monstrous demon before him was the same little girl who always sweetly called him "brother".
"Why... why was I so good to you..." Bai Yanfeng's consciousness began to dissipate, and his voice grew weaker and weaker.
Bai Di's smile gradually twisted, a manic look appearing in her eyes: "Good? You think that cheap concern is good for me?" She suddenly sprang to life, piercing Bai Yanfeng's shoulder with her sword. "What I want is to live! I want power! I want that bitch Bai Ying to pay for her crimes in blood!"
Outside, Bai Yanfeng's body was twisted into a bizarre posture.
His left hand was tightly gripping his neck, while his right hand was frantically pounding his chest, as if two people inside his body were fighting for control.
The black mist under the skin grew thicker and thicker, even seeping out from the pores and forming a thick black fog on the skin's surface.
"Di'er! Stop!" Zhou Ying cried out and lunged forward, but was pushed away by an invisible force.
She collapsed to the ground, tears blurring her vision. "He's your brother! The brother who's always loved you the most!"
The white eagle's eyes were bloodshot, and its spiritual power surged, but it dared not make a move rashly.
He knew all too well the dangers of possession; a slight misstep could lead to the mutual destruction of both souls.
"Little Di, I promise you!" His voice trembled. "As long as you come out, I'll risk my old life to find you the perfect body!"
"Heh..." Bai Yanfeng suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"You hypocrites..." His right eye suddenly turned an eerie purple, a sign that Bai Di's soul had taken over. "Who wants the best body? Don't you all love me? Didn't Bai Yanfeng say he'd rather die than see me die? Wouldn't it be better to give me the chance to live now?"
"No!" Bai Yanfeng resisted with all his might, mobilizing all the spiritual power in his body and condensing it into a shield of light in his sea of consciousness.
However, Bai Di's evil magic was too powerful; the black sword energy easily pierced through the light shield and penetrated his soul.
The excruciating pain nearly made him lose consciousness, but a sliver of defiance sustained him as he continued to fight.
He suddenly thought of Bai Ying, the younger sister he had always ignored. If he had been kinder to her back then, would things have turned out this way?
When Bai Di dealt with Bai Ying before, he did see Bai Di's scheming against her, but he stubbornly stood on the side of Bai Di, who was close to him.
Now, being treated like this by Bai Di, he finally realized how painful it was.
Bai Yanfeng's consciousness trembled violently, not from pain, but from a bone-chilling cold.
He suddenly realized that he had never truly understood Bai Di. This younger sister who always acted coquettishly and sweetly in front of him might have always been just a carefully crafted mask.
"So..." Bai Di raised his longsword, the tip aimed at Bai Yanfeng's brow, "to repay your 'affection,' I will make good use of your body."
The final sword strike, imbued with a resolute killing intent, was unleashed—
Outside, Bai Yanfeng's body suddenly stiffened, and then he fell heavily to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
A moment later, "he" slowly got up, his movements somewhat clumsy, yet carrying Bai Di's unique gentleness. When "he" raised his head, a smile that was completely out of place on Bai Yanfeng's face appeared, extremely charming.
"Father, Mother." A familiar voice came from an unfamiliar throat, "I'm back."
Zhou Ying slumped to the ground, staring blankly at everything before her, tears streaming silently down her face.
White Eagle clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, his heart filled with anger and regret.
They never imagined that their doting would push their daughter into such an evil abyss, nor did they expect that they would personally cause this tragic tragedy of fratricide.
But all this tragedy has only just begun...
"You bastard, you beast!"
Bai Ying simply cannot accept the fact that Bai Di killed Bai Yanfeng.
Just moments ago, he was still immersed in the pain of losing Bai Di, filled with regret, wishing he could turn back time and exchange Bai Ying for Bai Di.
But at this moment, looking at Bai Yanfeng who had been possessed by Bai Di, he felt a wave of dizziness.
Bai Yanfeng has been his pride since childhood, and the future of the family that he has carefully cultivated.
Those days of studying late into the night, those times when he was taught swordsmanship step by step.
At this moment, they all transformed into sharp blades, stabbing his heart again and again.
How could Bai Di, that beast, kill her own brother!
Zhou Ying slumped to the ground, clutching her hair tightly with both hands, tears mixed with dust leaving streaks on her face.
"Xiaofeng, my child! Ahhhh! My son!"
Her cries were heart-wrenching, her voice filled with despair and pain. She couldn't believe that her proud son, the one who always so sweetly helped her comfort her younger sister, was gone.
White Eagle trembled as he drew the sword from his waist, the cold glint of the unsheathed blade reflecting in his bloodshot eyes.
The sword tip pointed directly at Bai Di, his voice trembling with rage: "You bastard, you killed your own brother, I'll kill you!"
Bai Di remained calm and composed, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Do you know how the Grand Elder died?
