Chapter 2291 Hiding, Plundering

The wind howled, the night surged.

In the thick darkness, I just stood there, not moving for a long time.

As for the man standing in front of me, he just smiled at me and didn't say another word.

"You really... don't regret it?" I looked at him and spoke again: "Your efforts, your contributions, in the end, will all be used to make wedding clothes for me, and the world won't even remember your name..."

"I don't care! And... are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the human race?" He shook his head, and there was a meaningful smile in his eyes.

But I was stunned, looking at him with surprise in my eyes.

"Let's start, there is not much time left for the human race!" He suddenly said.

I still didn't move, but slowly closed my eyes.

What kind of great personality can be willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the human race?

Back then, he mastered the power of the dark night and assassinated the powerful monsters everywhere, hoping to exchange this for a brief peace for the human race.

Even after being seriously injured and losing his physical body, with only his three souls and seven spirits hiding in the vast mountains, he still relied on his residual power to prevent the monsters from attacking the human race at night!

But he hid his past and life, asking for nothing but the continuation of the human race.

"You are the real saint of the human race!" I suddenly opened my eyes: "Those who sacrificed for the human race are all saints of the human race!"

"Hahaha..."

He suddenly laughed, and his laughter was very heroic and hearty!

"Do you know why I am hiding in the vast mountains and lingering on?" He stopped laughing, looked at me and suddenly said: "It was Luo Xia who found me at the beginning. He said to me that if I had to sacrifice myself in exchange for the prosperity of the human race, would I be willing to sacrifice? Haha, of course I was willing, but Luo Xia didn't say much to me, just said that in the future a very powerful person would come here, as long as I show up, I will be able to recognize you!"

"So it was Luo Xia's arrangement!" I was stunned, then shook my head and asked: "Why can you recognize me as soon as I show up?"

"Because... I felt the power of authority in your body. From ancient times to the present, I am the only one in the human race who truly grasps the authority of the Dark Night. Apart from you, you are the second one, so... I firmly believe that the person I am waiting for is definitely you!" He grinned and said, "Before you, Zhang Wangu also came here, and we have met, but I firmly believe that he is not the one I am waiting for. And Zhang Wangu also said that the peak of the God-killing Realm is his peak, and he can no longer go any further. In order to reach this peak, he has exhausted all his potential. This is already the highest achievement he can achieve!"

"Zhang Wangu has also been here, and he said these words to you in person?" I was suddenly shocked. If Zhang Wangu really said these words, does it mean that Zhang Wangu himself knows that he can never become the real hope of the human race?

Is he just a transition before the human race's saint is born?

"No, Zhang Wangu has mastered the Great Crucible Technique. This technique... does not require too much talent. You only need to devour other people's three souls and seven spirits to take the power held by others for yourself. Although there is a risk of mental disorder, it is also a method. And Zhang Wangu is very likely to go to this extreme when his potential is exhausted and it is impossible to go further. So... the one I need to be most wary of is Zhang Wangu. Of course, this is on the premise that I have the ability to master more power and grow rapidly to become a saint. If... the human race suddenly falls into danger and urgently needs a saint to be born, and I don't grow up, then I might consider letting Zhang Wangu devour me!"

I took a deep breath, and then continued in a low voice: "Has Luo Xia been here not long ago?"

"That's right!" He nodded without hiding anything: "Luo Xia told me your determination. Even you, who don't belong to this era, have this determination. As a person of this era, how can I retreat? So, let's get started!"

"So that's the case. Luo Xia... is she testing me?"

When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I told Luo Xia about my plan.

Find Zhang Wangu, let him devour my three souls and seven spirits, and help Zhang Wangu become a saint.

At that time, Luo Xia looked at me with extremely complicated eyes. At that time, I thought Luo Xia couldn't bear to part with me, but now I think it doesn't seem to be the case!

"What do I need to do?" I asked the man in front of me.

I have only plundered power once, and that time, I was plundered without my knowledge when I was in close contact with Luo Xia.

It can't be... that I have to have close contact with this man

before I can plunder, right? "Put your hands on me and use the power of God's punishment." The man smiled, then took a step forward, grabbed my hand and put it on his head, and said, "Let's get started. I've been preparing for decades, and this moment... is finally here!"

I didn't continue to be hypocritical, and just said, "Excuse me!"

As soon as the words fell, my eyes froze,

and then I heard a "bang" from the sky, and almost at the moment the explosion fell, my eyes turned azure blue, as if a thunderstorm was brewing in my eyes!

Then, I saw countless thunder and lightning falling from the sky, like a cage, covering me and the man.

Lightning fell from the sky like tentacles, sweeping wildly around me and the man. The area where we were suddenly turned into a forbidden place that no one could set foot in.

"Don't let me down!"

He suddenly said this.

And this was also the last sentence he left for this world.

Because in the next second, the azure arcs overflowed from his body and covered his entire body.

And at the moment when the azure arcs covered his entire body, a thick darkness was suddenly pulled out from his spirit platform.

"Is this plunder? It's really tyrannical to forcibly seize the power held by others!"

I was shocked, because at this moment, the thick darkness had begun to follow my forehead and began to drill into my spirit.

As the thick darkness drilled more and more, a strong force instantly grew in my body, and the place where I stood was instantly shrouded by the purest darkness.

This made me almost invisible!

The next moment!

With a loud bang, the man's soul could no longer bear the power of God's punishment and exploded.

The remaining darkness instantly escaped into my soul!

This shocked me and I slowly opened my eyes.
