In a life-or-death gamble, there is no absolute victory or defeat.
Born, gained nothing
Death, nothing at all
He Yisheng was like this.
The morning light shone on his face, and his pale, handsome features began to decay, like a fleeting, withering flower...
Yi Sheng said with a wry smile, "It seems I don't have much time left..."
Turning his head, a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes as he looked at Cui Ming, whom he had tied to the tree. In the blink of an eye, a ferocious, crazed, and cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Master, since you said you would help me, then help me to the end! Send me to the abyss leading to the demonic path!"
Cui Ming looked at Yi Sheng's gradually festering face, frowned in disgust, and said coldly, "You are simply insane! In order to survive, you have already started to think about hurting others? The ideals of the Sword Pavilion's Sword of Justice are indeed not suitable for you!"
Upon hearing Cui Ming's words, Yi Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, what justice? What ideals? That's hilarious! Your faith has long since stopped caring about those things! All you know is to sit in front of the Buddha hall all day cultivating your mind and body. Do you even know how cruel and ruthless the outside world is?"
"I……"
Just as Cui Ming was about to retort, she saw Yi Sheng staring at her with icy eyes, his gaze faintly glistening with tears...
Yi Sheng seemed unaware of his own emotional outburst, pointing at Cui Ming and scolding him, "You always said I was unambitious, lazy, and useless. You said the Sword Pavilion was ruined because of me, because I didn't set a good example! But you never thought about what you were doing every day!"
"You, for the sake of burning incense, you didn't even care about my life or death! I didn't dare tell you about this even though I survived, because I was afraid you would tell me that it was because you were not skilled enough and that you brought it on yourself!" Yisheng roared angrily, startling the birds in the forest.
Looking at Yisheng's pained, sad, angry, and conflicted expression, Cui Ming finally understood how much she had hurt Yisheng's dignity. "I'm sorry, Yisheng."
"Sorry? Heh, if sorry was useful, the person in front of you wouldn't be me, a demon!" Yisheng frantically scratched at his corroded flesh.
His face, now covered in blood and bones, was no longer as handsome as before. Looking at his sinister gaze and terrifying appearance, Cui Ming felt no disgust, but rather a deep sense of guilt.
Cui Ming lowered his head and fell silent.
Seeing Cui Ming's submissive attitude, Yi Sheng mocked:
"Ha, you've lived this long, and you still don't understand? As long as a person is alive, they can survive no matter how many times they lose, but if they die, then everything is over!"
“Master, oh Master, you have spent your whole life praying for the Buddha’s teachings. Ask yourself honestly, are you really practicing the Buddha’s teachings? If so, why has the Buddha not responded to you for thirty years? And the benefactor you rely on, your unwavering faith, has already deceived you, yet you are still unaware—you are utterly foolish!”
Upon hearing Yi Sheng's words, Cui Ming clenched his fists, his expression changing slightly:
"I was deceived by my benefactor? No! No way, my benefactor is a master of cultivation, he couldn't possibly deceive me!"
"Hmph, you still dream of becoming a powerful figure revered by all, yet you've even had your own Dao heart swayed by others!" Yi Sheng squinted and chuckled wickedly. "Don't you think about this properly? If there were Buddhas in this world, how could my Demon Clan exist? I think it's because your so-called benefactor saw your promising talent and was afraid you would disrupt the world's order and ruin his plans, so he deliberately tried to stop you from cultivating the Dao... Otherwise, why would he pretend not to know you?"
Cui Ming clenched his fists, a fierce glint in his eyes, and a deep hatred welled up inside him. "He actually lied to me for thirty whole years!"
Thirty years
How many thirty-year periods are there in a person's life?
Unexpectedly, because of his gullibility, I willingly prayed before the Buddha for thirty years.
"Ha, yes, I really am—utterly stupid!" Cui Ming said with a wry smile.
Not only that, Gu Liyan not only deceived me, but when I needed help, he even pretended not to know me. He is simply a shameless scoundrel!
Thinking of this, Cui Ming's anger intensified!
Seeing the change in Cui Ming's expression, Yi Sheng couldn't help but feel secretly smug:
"Anger! Resentment! Transform all of this into your desire to live! Then, when you can no longer resist the urge to kill, I will strike and kill you. At that time... the life force within you will transform into the resentment of death, becoming my nourishment!"
Yi Sheng seemed to see Cui Ming die tragically, absorb his vengeful spirit to become stronger, and then defeat Yin Yang and Xuan Qing'er.
Thinking of this, Yisheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Could it be that when this guy's skin ulcerated, the clutter inside his head rotted away?" an unfriendly voice suddenly spoke up.
Yi Sheng looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Mo Chen pouting and looking at him with a disgusted expression, a gaze that was truly unpleasant!
“Brother Mo Chen, you may not know this, but from a medical perspective, if the brain system collapses, there will be no more instructions for behavior. Even if one’s soul power is strong, it will be impossible to force commands to be issued.” The white-robed youth holding a paper fan stepped forward and looked at Yi Sheng with a smile.
For some reason, what Yisheng saw in his gaze was a cold, indifferent look. It was like walking down the street and seeing a dead rat on the ground!
"If that's the case, does that mean we can defeat him as long as we blow his head off?" A clear female voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, a beautiful figure stood in the sky. This woman was none other than Xuan Qing'er!
