Against The Gods
Chapter 118 – Star Demon, Ghost Lotus

"Death .. Captain is dead .. Captain is dead!"

After the three Vice Captains were killed consecutively, the strongest practitioner of the Black Demon Mercenary Group, who was also their boss, died, it first ran out of cowards and then was easily killed by Yun Che in the midst of his escape. Losing their backbones, the Black Demon Mercenaries were all scared without concern as their hearts trembled in fear. Looking at the youngster standing beside the corpse of the Black Demon with a face as calm as water, all of the fighting spirit they had before melted into endless panic and fear.

In a short, deadly silence, the fire gradually extinguished. With a cold expression, Yun Che slowly walked forward. Following his movements, the eyes of the nearby Black Demon Mercenary shrank in fear; he then screamed as he desperately turned to flee. His actions also immediately awakened all the Black Demon Mercenaries from their shock. They all began to flee one after another in fear, and no longer cared about anything else.

"Want to run?" Their escape did not give Yun Che a sense of relief; instead, a touch of ice-cold killing intent flashed across his eyes. He poured his profound energy under his feet as his body flew, and caught up with the group that escaped the Black Demon Mercenaries in just a few breaths of time … Had these Black Demon Mercenaries spread out while fleeing, he would have no way to do anything . However, the successive assassinations of their four captains made the hearts of these Black Demon Mercenaries give birth to a great fear towards him, which made all of them subconsciously flee in the opposite direction from where he was before. Moreover, that direction, was also the only way out of the back mountain.

Behind the group that was fleeing for their lives, Yun Che leaped high into the air, instantly moving horizontally with the Star God Broken Shadow after reaching the highest point, and then, Yun Che jumped high, and arrive right above the group. Pointing the Tiger Soul Sword down, the body of the sword lit up with flames as the golden Phoenix imprinted in the middle of its brows unleashed a dazzling golden radiance.

"Star ... Scorched ... Satan ... Lotus !!"

During her low singing, Yun Che's entire body burned, and suddenly fell down.

BOOOOM !!!!

The flames that covered the sky exploded with explosions from where Yun Che landed; the profound energy released wildly turned into layers of phoenix flames that lit up and scattered outward, scattering outwards, instantly enveloped a radius of over sixty meters in the surrounding area, mercilessly swallowing all the Black Mercenary Demon within. Looking at it from the sky, it was as if a beautiful flaming lotus had suddenly bloomed with Yun Che as its center. However, each petal of the flower burned with a deadly phoenix flame.

Countless cries of suffering echoed from within the enormous fire lotus. The cries were so miserable that it was as if they were coming from the depths of the ninth level of hell. But the Star Lotus Scorched Demon felt no pity for the screams, and continued to expand mercilessly; layer after layer of twinkling flames gradually bloomed into a larger and larger fire lotus.

Lan Xueruo, who stood far away, had long since been completely stunned by the sight. Although he was not too old yet, he had already seen too many experts, including some powerful individuals from the high-level Earth Profound Realm, and even some Sky Profound Realm experts. However, he had never seen anyone who could unleash a scene this high by using the fire attribute profound attribute, including the Burning Heaven Clan, who possessed the strongest fire attribute profound art in the Blue Wind Empire.

What was even more unbelievable, was that such a blow actually came from Yun Che .. From the hands of a sixteen year old child!

"Beating the tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm in the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm .. Traversing the entire world within a month … Successively killed four Profound Realm profound practitioners at the tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. '' Lan Xueruo faintly muttered as she stared blankly ahead.

The fire lotus had grown to its greatest size, while the pitiful sound of screams had become calmer. Through the layers of flames, Lan Xueruo could still see a figure desperately rolling the flames for their lives; she turned her head, and her heart flooded into a deep aversion. At this moment, inside the fire, he saw Yun Che walking with heavy footsteps while dragging the Tiger Soul Sword in a tired manner. The clothes on his body were already in tatters, and all the blood spots on his clothes were also charred black within the fire lotus.

"Junior Brother Yun!" Lan Xueruo exclaimed as she rushed over. But she stopped her steps just as she approached Yun Che, and was momentarily afraid to go forward. It was because at this moment, it was impossible for him to not cause a foreign taste towards the current Yun Che. The sudden surge of power was actually less important; when he had killed all three Vice Captains before, and when he slaughtered this Black Demon Warrior, his every move was fatal without the slightest leniency. And with one fire lotus, seventy or so Black Demon Mercenaries were sent to their graves. He was obviously only a sixteen year old youngster, yet he actually possessed a demon-like disposition.

"Senior sister, I'm a bit tired .. Support me for a moment. '' Yun Che walked forward with weak footsteps while swaying unsteadily; his body was limp as he said that and nearly fainted. "Star Scorching Demon Lotus" was a Phoenix fire skill contained within the sixth stage of the [World Ode of the Phoenix]. The strength of his single target was lower than Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wings. Instead, it had an extremely frightening large-scale burning ability. Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wings can only be used in the sky, whereas the Star Scorching Demon Lotus can be released in any condition and place. But at the same time, it consumes a lot of energy. His profound energy had been completely depleted in this short span of time after releasing two Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wings and one Star Lotus Scorched Demon while also remaining in an Evil Soul state.

Lan Xueruo immediately stepped forward to support Yun Che. He hesitated for a moment before asking: "Junior Brother Yun, did you ... kill many people in the past?"

Yun Che remained silent at first before slowly nodding: "I've killed before .. Many, many people, far more than you can imagine. "Looking back at the gradually shrinking fire lotus, he said," Senior Brother, do you think I am ruthless, you think I am, to kill people who no longer try to attack us and just try to escape for their lives? "

Lan Xueruo did not say anything and secretly agreed.

Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo and said: "Senior Brother, when I said your nature was too gentle and kind before, it was not a compliment to Senior Brother but a complaint … Senior Brother must sense that these villains, more or less, carry evil tendencies; they were all murderers and the people they killed were mostly innocents whom they had raided and seized. These criminals should have died earlier, and even death could not erase the crimes they had committed. l., they had also trapped us in the trial grounds for over a month; if it wasn't for the fact that I cleared the Phoenix trial, we wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily. Moreover, they would annihilate the entire phoenix clan. I killed them all, not a little bit, would be overkill. ”

Lan Xueruo's lips trembled slightly as she looked at the thinning fire lotus. He asked in a shaky voice: “Since a very young age, my master taught me to be kind and gentle to people, to love all sentient beings, but they're still alive. Just now, they even threw away their weapons, chose to flee, and thus posed no threat to us. Why ... You can't let them go? "

“They are a group of very evil and evil people. If I let them go today, they might kill someone else tomorrow, and that could be a lot of people. "Yun Che firmly said:" Whereas if we kill them now, we can save many innocent people. Of course, good people and innocent people should not be killed but killing these bad people is not a sin. Instead, you will actually save others! Letting them go is a true sin! ”

"Little Brother Yun, you really did it .. Very good, very good !!"

At this moment, Feng Baichuan was still carrying the unconscious Feng Zuer in his hand as he walked with the phoenix clan members. Each of them had a face full of excitement and eyes filled with warm tears. They solemnly looked at Yun Che as if they were staring at a god.

During the time Yun Che had killed the Black Demon, the cave seal formation was opened by Feng Baichuan. What they witnessed next blew their minds and stirred their emotions. Among them, quite a number of elders could not help but murmur: "This must be the messenger that the Phoenix God sent to save us, the Phoenix God has never forgotten us …"

Seeing the pale-faced Feng Zuer in Feng Baichuan's hands, Yun Che quickly said: "Leader of the Feng Clan, the villains have been completely wiped out. Hurry up, take Zuer and the others home and look for clean water to consume. However, do not let them eat food immediately .. Go quickly, these children are in a dangerous situation now, we can talk about other things later. ”

"okay!" Feng Baichuan nodded. With the help of the others, he picked up the unconscious children and rushed towards the entrance of the valley. When passing through the place where the fire lotus was burning, they all suddenly stopped in their tracks, and gazed forward with faces full of caution.

As the fire lotus extinguished, two Black Demon Mercenaries who were sitting paralyzed with pale white faces appeared in their line of sight. Most of their clothes were already burnt black; their bodies were also burned in some places, but basically all of them were minor burns. They were at the end of the Star Scorching Demon Lotus a while ago so they were not actually hit by the fire lotus; they had just been swept away by the fire lotus. The reason why they were still sitting in a paralyzed manner was not because they were so injured, but because they were so frightened that their legs turned into jelly. As they watched Feng Baichuan and the others approach towards them, they immediately stared with wide eyes and frantically retreated like birds were startled by the twang of a bow.

"No fish escapes the net!" Yun Che revealed a face of astonishment before quickly placing the Tiger Soul Sword into Lan Xueruo's hands and hurriedly saying: "Senior Brother, you know, your senior brother, I have no deep energy and can't do anything more . Quickly go and kill the two men, don't let them run! ”

Taking out the Tiger Soul Sword subconsciously, Lan Xueruo subconsciously took out the Tiger Soul Sword and instead, stood motionlessly there. After his eyes flickered quickly, he shook his head and said, “I've never killed anyone, and I don't want to kill anyone. Since they were able to survive, then that was their fate. The entire group had been annihilated and they had nowhere else to go back. Having experienced such horrors a moment ago, they could be considered to have received their punishment. The Black Demon Mercenary Group no longer existed, so there was no way they would commit any more crimes in the future. ”

"Get out of the question !!" Yun Che firmly shook his head, "To be soft and not to remove the roots is always the biggest taboo when dealing with enemies! If you don't kill them, there may be major consequences that we can't foresee, do it quickly! "

Yun Che's words were urgent and strict, completely different from her gentle one that usually faced Lan Xueruo. Lan Xueruo's lips trembled and walked two steps forward before stopping again, unable to lift the Tiger Soul Sword at any cost. Finally he sighed in silence and turned his head towards the two Black Demon Mercenaries who were still lucky to be alive: “Go. Don't be too dangerous in the future. Otherwise, I won't easily let go of you the next time I see you! ”

Lan Xueruo's words caused the two crippled Black Demon Mercernaries on the ground to wake up from their dreams as they quickly rose from the ground, they did not turn around to escape. Instead, their gazes darkened before leaping towards Feng Baichuan.

"Leader of the Feng Clan be careful!" Disciple Yun Che shrunk and roared loudly.

Yet Yun Che's shout was already too late, the Black Demon Mercenary had already rushed in front of Feng Baichuan, and caught him unprepared. With his strength at the sixth level of the Nascent Profound Realm, how could Feng Baichuan be able to fight against him? In an instant, he pushed Feng Baichuan far away and snatched Feng Zuer from his hand. He then hooked his hand to pinch Feng Zu'er's neck as he revealed an evil smile: "You all stay behind, retreat! Back off! Or else ... I'll immediately let go of his neck! ”

"Zuer ... Zuer!" Feng Baichuan, who had been knocked out, shouted loudly.

Lan Xueruo's expression changed greatly as she quickly said: "You! I let you out of goodwill yet you shamelessly behave in such a despicable manner! Release Zuer now! "

"God!" The Black Demon Mercenary laughed coldly: "Our Black Demon Mercenary Group paid a large sum to enter this Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, how can I go after our entire group is destroyed for one treasure! Give up your treasure immediately! Otherwise, I will strangle this brat to death! I know that this is the son of your clan leader! Actually, I want to see if your treasure is more important than this brat's life! If you don't hand it over .. I don't even want to live, so it would be worth it to pull it down with me and watch your painful cries before seeing the door of death, HAHAHAHA! "

Lan Xueruo tightly clenched her fists as her face paled in anger. The calm and ice-cold voice of Yun Che came from his side: "Senior Brother, this is the result of your indecision, your leniency in punishment, and your kindness. Your kindness frees these two criminals and in return, hands Zuer's life into their hands. Is this the result you want to see? "

"I ... I …"

"And even if they don't do this, if they run away from here, what do you think they'll do after that? They will spread the word that a mysterious village here hides the so-called 'treasure'. When that time came, who knew how many great powers and sects would come to search for 'treasures'. At that time, this phoenix clan would suffer an even greater crisis with who knows how many times, and everyone here might even be slaughtered because of that. ”

Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo as each of his words pierced into his heart like a needle: "I have killed people, killed more than a few hundred criminals, avenged a large number of injured people, said the Pope, and saving countless more from people who might be harmed by them in the future. You did not kill anyone, and even let two good-natured criminals but because of that, over two hundred innocent people here, old and young, must die tragically … Is this your understanding of virtue and universal love? "
