Chapter 448 I'd be willing to die even if you asked me to!
Ah Ling didn't know what was wrong with Yu Sui. She had just walked up to Yu Sui when she heard another female voice scolding from behind: "Don't call me sister! I don't have a sister like you!"
As if struck by lightning, Ah Ling turned around abruptly and saw a noisy family appear on the mirror-like ground.
The mother was beaten and scolded by her father, and the younger sister was beaten and scolded by her older sister.
A violent argument broke out at home, and the two people who were beaten were bleeding from their heads.
The older sister kicked the girl into a corner and took the money jar that the girl was desperately clutching to her chest: "Parents are unreliable! You're even less reliable! I'm leaving here today, and nobody can stop me!"
"Give me the money! If you want to die in this house, then go ahead and die! Don't drag me down with you!"
The father, brandishing a hoe and looking furious, rushed over: "You brat! You dare try to rob me!"
The mother, her head bleeding, clung tightly to the father's waist, crying out, "Go! Go!"
Hearing their father's furious threats, the older sister became increasingly violent: "Give me the money, you brat! If you want to die, go die yourself!"
She picked up the clay pot and smashed it over her sister's head. Hearing her sister's cries, she scratched her hands, snatched the money pot, and ran away almost tumbling.
As Ah Ling's memories, buried deep in her brain, resurfaced with each scene unfolding before her eyes, and fear returned, pressing down on her like a mountain, leaving her unable to move and breathless.
My whole body was trembling.
"Sister! Come back, come back!"
"Come back!"
The younger sister, her face covered in blood, cried out to Ah Ling and reached out her hand. Ah Ling screamed and suddenly realized she was in a mirror world. Her father raised a hoe and brought it down hard on her head.
Ah Ling collapsed in a pool of blood, wailing, and saw her younger self walking further and further away in another world reflected in the mirror.
Don't leave me here!
I don't want to die! I barely survived, why?!
Come back!
elder sister!
Her father swung the iron hoe and struck Ah Ling again and again, beating her until she was covered in blood and gore. She was powerless to resist and could only feel the despair of impending death amidst the excruciating pain.
Ah Ling is lost in the purgatory landscape and will soon die. Mu Jin observed Yu Sui's reaction. Just now in the purgatory landscape, she had already realized that if she stayed by Ah Ling's side, she would be discovered, but she still did not abandon Ah Ling.
Now that Ah Ling is about to die, what will this intruder do?
Mu Jin wanted to see Yu Sui soften her heart and help A Ling, thus falling into her trap.
Even if Yu Sui hadn't softened her heart, she would have only received a trivial glare.
Mu Jin deliberately prolonged Ah Ling's near-death state. The girl lay in a pool of blood. Mu Jin released Ah Ling from her mental image. She was still curled up, intermittently begging for mercy and pleading for no more beatings.
Yu Sui confined herself to a self-imposed prison, originally with her back to A Ling. Now, Mu Jin placed A Ling in front of Yu Sui, allowing her to clearly see A Ling's experiences in the purgatory of her mind.
A person born into misfortune also has a family background that prevents them from achieving happiness.
Ah Ling's older sister took the family's money and abandoned her mother and younger sister, who were constantly beaten and scolded.
Ah Ling was beaten by her father with an iron hoe, leaving many scars on her body and disfiguring her. As a result, her father sold her at a low price.
After jumping into the black pool, Ah Ling was blessed by a master and forgot her past. Also, due to the influence of worms, her scars were repaired.
Faced with the pitiful state that Mu Jin deliberately displayed, Yu Sui's face showed no emotion. She looked around and asked, "Did you deliberately torture her like that to see if I would save her?"
Mu Jin's deep, resonant voice came from afar, the sound waves crashing back and forth: "If you don't want to, she will die in front of you."
“I’m here to find someone, not to be a savior.” Yu Sui seemed not to understand his meaning. “Besides, I have no relation to her, so why should I save her?”
“I can see that your heart is full of compassion, love and kindness, and you are a soft-hearted person who is willing to sacrifice and dedicate yourself.”
Mu Jin looked at Yu Sui and said, "Your inner world is a place full of tolerance and love."
Yu Sui was quiet for a moment, then covered her face and laughed. It was so funny that her shoulders were shaking, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Mu Jin never doubted what he saw in the Purgatory Mindscape; even the saints he had fought could not escape his three-eyed observation and were defeated.
Yu Sui's uncontrollable laughter at this moment was, in Mu Jin's eyes, just a pretense, a hypocrite, cold on the outside but soft on the inside. Mu Jin had seen many people like this before.
He knew these people might say the harshest things, but they were always hurt inside and would come to his rescue at the last minute.
But then he heard Yu Sui say, "Among the eight scenes of the Buddhist Purgatory, I heard that the scene of the mind is the strongest."
Mu Jin: "You actually managed to see through my lowly arts."
Yu Sui said innocently, "But after seeing it, I think it's nothing special."
Mu Jin frowned, disagreeing.
Mu Jin still believed that her arrogance, provocation, and naivety were a facade, an attempt to buy time and find clues to a solution from her words.
"Can't the dying man before you prove the strength of your mind?"
"What kind of strength is it to take the life of someone who practices martial arts?"
Mu Jin said, "Here, there is no difference between ordinary sorcerers and low-level sorcerers. As long as your inner world is pure and without any offensive power, even if you are as weak as an ant, the Purgatory Heartscape cannot harm you in the slightest."
"In other words, if you are hurt in your mind, it proves that you are not strong enough, your inner world is not firm enough, and you are still fragile and vulnerable."
"What does that have to do with you?" Yu Sui asked, puzzled. "Whether other people's hearts are weak or strong is not your power."
"I gave them the opportunity to see their own inner weaknesses."
"Really?" Yu Sui pointed to her eyes. "So you've been peering into our hearts all along to know how vulnerable we are?"
Hibiscus: "Of course."
"So I saw through your disguise, and I knew that you were trying to stall for time and talk to me in order to find flaws in my conversation."
"But what if you know?" Yu Sui said dismissively.
Hibiscus: "I saw through your thoughts, so your plan is useless against me and will ultimately fail."
“You showed me my mother-in-law, and my heart is naturally filled with tolerance and love. But what my inner world is like is up to me, not you.”
"So, how about I show you another side of my inner world?"
As soon as Yu Sui finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, an invisible wind blade severed Ah Ling's neck.
This swift and decisive cut left Mu Jin stunned.
Things developed in a way that was beyond his expectations and control.
“You…” Mu Jin felt a chill in her heart for some reason.
"I'm waiting for my Ninth-Rank Technique to take effect, what are you waiting for?"
Before Yu Sui could finish speaking, the clear and bright space within her mind was stained with a thick black, and killing intent instantly filled the entire mind, spreading along the five elements towards the location of Mu Jin.
The third eye between the man's eyebrows turned black in an instant.
Mu Jin realized something was wrong, her hair stood on end, and she immediately closed the Eye of Purgatory to sever the connection.
not good!
Mu Jin opened his eyes, only to see a hand grabbing his neck and throwing him against the wall. Mu Jin let out a muffled groan as the sound of his ribs breaking echoed in his ears.
"How could you..."
Mu Jin stared in disbelief at the girl smiling at her, the killing intent she released actually finding her through the Purgatory Heartscape!
"So there was a third eye." Yu Sui moved her other hand closer to Mu Jin's forehead.
Mu Jin immediately formed hand seals to cast a spell, but found that he could not sense the existence of the divine soul core in his body, and could not mobilize any of the five elements. Under the woman's ambiguous gaze, he felt the fear of impending death.
"Impossible!" Mu Jin cried out in a trembling voice.
In his terrified eyes, he saw the black and white Pisces that flashed by behind Yu Sui.
"If you were a saint, I might show you some respect." Yu Sui's finger lingered on Mu Jin's forehead, and a gust of wind passed through his brain, leaving a bloody hole in his forehead.
There are very few people in the world who possess the Yin-Yang symbol, and there are very few records about it, which are often exaggerated and difficult to verify.
Yu Sui only confirmed that the Yin-Yang Pisces' core-devouring ability could turn low-level sorcerers into ordinary sorcerers, that is, by consuming their light cores, but this move was only effective against low-level sorcerers below the Saint level.
"Great Protector!" Wang Jun, who was outside, heard the commotion and rushed in. He saw Mu Jin lying next to Yu Sui with her head pierced and her eyes wide open in death.
Wang Jun and his men were stunned at the doorway, not daring to step forward rashly. Behind their masks, their eyes stared at Yu Sui in disbelief.
"Is this the dance hall?" Yu Sui asked them.
Wang Jun finally realized what was happening, drew his sword, and shouted sharply, "Send a message! Stop her! Wait for the other protectors to arrive!"
They then formed ranks and charged towards Yu Sui.
In the dark and dimly lit attic, a flash of red light appeared, and Yu Sui drew a long black sword from the red umbrella in front of him, its cold light gleaming like ice and snow.
Ah Ling collapsed behind Yu Sui, but Wang Jun was unable to get past Yu Sui and approach her.
She didn't know what changes were happening inside her body, only that a force was trying to restore her gradually losing body temperature.
The five elements, which were once faint and difficult to see, are now clear in her eyes, shining with golden light.
What is that?
A golden core of light.
Ah Ling lay in a pool of blood, straining to look at Yu Sui, her sister.
So she didn't leave after all.
A strange sense of relief brought tears to Ah Ling's eyes.
After Yu Sui dealt with the Wang soldiers blocking the door, he turned around and looked at A Ling again, and the girl started crying again.
She asked, puzzled, "Why are you crying?"
"You didn't leave, waaaaah!"
“I’m waiting for you to take me to the dance hall,” Yu Sui said.
"Sister!" Ah Ling cried as she called out to her sister.
Yu Sui walked back to her side, looking down at her: "I'm not your sister."
As Yu Sui watched her gradually recover her vitality, she confirmed once again that her light core was only useful to ninth-rate sorcerers with talent for cultivation. If Ah Ling was a completely ordinary sorcerer, then the light core could not save her.
But... was she born with the ability to cultivate, or was she modified by orchid poison or viper?
Regardless of the reason, all her past experiences saved Ah Ling's life in that instant.
Ah Ling said intermittently, "In that mirror-like space, I remembered my past. Before my family sold me, I did have an older sister."
Yu Sui listened quietly.
Ah Ling said, "My family was very poor. I had to work for other people's families to earn money when I was very young. I couldn't even afford a meal a day. One day, I stole a money jar from that family."
"But I was also very scared, afraid that if I was found out, I would be beaten half to death. I regretted it and wanted to secretly return it at night, but my sister found out. She asked me to give her the money jar, but I refused, and she started hitting me."
"...Later, we woke up our parents. My father also tried to grab the money box. He hit my older sister first, but my mother stopped him, so he started hitting my mother."
Ah Ling cried and said, "My sister hit me, and my father hit me too. It really hurts. I kept crying and thinking, 'I hope someone can save me. I just want someone to save me. I don't want to be hit anymore.'"
"From now on, you are my older sister! I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
I'd be willing to die even if you asked me to!
Ah Ling raised her blood-blurred eyes and looked at Yu Sui.
"It's good that you have this awareness." Yu Sui leaned down to look at her. "When you wake up, you will be a ninth-rate sorcerer with a thirteenth-level divine soul core."
As Yu Sui spoke, A Ling saw a purple sea of stars appear on the ground, with a pair of long black and white fish swimming around Yu Sui in the sea of stars.
"What you need to do next is kill all those who want you to get beaten up."
