Right one meter before Li Yao's eyes, there was a black-colored soul that was being ruthlessly chained. The gaze of the black soul was blank, his face looking down at the cold obsidian floor he was sitting on.
The nine chains that stuck into his soul core came from the floor. The black soul realized Li Yao's glowing existence then observed him with no interest at all.
Finally Li Yao managed to find the soul of the monster he wanted to finish off.
[Arts of the Fifth Chapter Heavenly Road - Path of Light]
A sword of light was suddenly created in Li Yao's hands. Without wasting any longer, as quickly as possible he intended to annihilate the soul before him.
Li Yao quickly slashed at the soul of the monster with a light sword in his right hand. Suddenly Li Yao's head felt dizzy, in an instant various images of the soul's past faintly entered Li Yao's mind.
There was a picture of a little boy training in a courtyard, a woman watching him from the window of the inn. Various kinds of images of the monster's past continued to revolve inside Li Yao's head.
The image of the monster still being a human.
The little boy continued to grow into a healthy young man. Once the young man said goodbye to his mother and joined a small sect. The sect was named the Remote Flower Sect.
Apparently the sect was a sect of demons who were camouflaging. The young man was deceived. When the young man realized it, he was arrested and put in a strange room.
The room had no lighting, but the young man could still see his surroundings clearly.
Redder.
The walls of the room gave off a very sickening red-colored light. Being in the room makes his mind disturbed and can not think clearly.
The young man wanted to run away, but the roots that wrapped his body absorbed all the energy he had. The young man eventually went crazy.
All the images after that became very unclear. Even so, Li Yao could still deduce something from the images that had been broken.
For decades the young man was the subject of a highly inhumane experiment. He was finally strong enough to go on the run. At that time his condition had become a very disgusting monster, just like now.
One thing was different, at first the monster still had a little bit of consciousness as a human. He went to his old mother and lived alone. When the monster wanted to leave, his mother ran to him.
Suddenly the woman hugged the body of the disgusting monster.
"Chen'er, is this really you? Why are you just coming home now? I kept, kept, kept waiting for you."
It felt heavy leaving the figure of the woman who had given birth and raised him. The monster could not leave, he chose to stay back with his mother.
Stupid decision.
The little bit of his consciousness that was still left as a human vanished, the monster had completely become a monster.
"I don't want to be a monster like this. I know creatures like me shouldn't exist in this world. I'd rather die than live a disgusting life. That's how I want it."
The shackles of the black soul one by one began to break, his consciousness as a long-buried human now reappeared. Li Yao scanned the black soul, listening to the words he spoke carefully.
"I shouldn't have gone to see my mom. It was a decision I always regretted. I was supposed to die, but when I saw my mother who was about to break, my heart couldn't leave her."
The nine chains that ensnared the filthy soul finally broke. Starting from the head, the black color of the soul gradually melted away.
The true form of the soul is a man in his 40s. Li Yao was able to see his figure very clearly, a figure that was shedding tears.
"My mother lives a long life, in this world I am the only one she has. If I die, my mother will follow me. I don't want that to happen" said the man in a weak voice.
"So what's the point of your conversation?" li Yao asked flatly.
"I don't want to! Both you and your mother, in my eyes are equally guilty!" li Yao replied very firmly.
The man grimaced sadly, his hands then moved to cover his crying face.
Li Yao's eyes widened, he in an instant instantly disappeared from before the man. Li Yao's contact with that chaotic soul world had suddenly been severed.
In the outside world, the monster was spewing out a black liquid that looked extremely dangerous. Tao Yuhan's thread broke, the girl quickly held Li Yao's hand and then retreated away.
The monster is now free.
It took some time to recover after forcibly exiting one's soul world. After his consciousness recovered, Li Yao saw the monster heal itself then get back up.
The incident was really unexpected, at that time Li Yao could only curse in his heart.
"Was the monster still able to recover after my original soul was destroyed?" Li Yao wondered inwardly.
Li Yao's head was dizzy, his eyes were also faint, coupled with his limp and powerless body, currently Li Yao could only submit to fate and luck.
Same with Tao Yuhan.
The moment the monster had stood up, its entire disgusting body part suddenly exploded into a black liquid. Li Yao looked at Tao Yuhan, Tao Yuhan also looked back at him. They were somewhat confused by this strange development.
The monster died, died by suicide. Did the monster intend to take Li Yao and Tao Yuhan with him? It was only a reasonable answer, let alone Li Yao having purified his soul.
The old woman of the inn owner ran around to the location of her son's death. The body of the monster had turned into a black liquid, nothing was left of its death.
On top of the black liquid that had been sucked into the ground, the old woman was sitting limp. He could feel his feet blistering, but he ignored them.
The woman's gaze was empty as if lifeless. He looked at the surrounding land for a while, then turned to look at Li Yao and Tao Yuhan. Both children caused the death of their children.
"Kill me!" said the old woman, very weak. There was no anger in his eyes when he looked at them, only despair.
Li Yao stepped closer to the old woman, followed by Tao Yuhan from behind. When Li Yao and Tao Yuhan were already very close before him, the old woman repeated her words again.
"Please kill me!"
Li Yao and Tao Yuhan just quietly observed him.
"Kill me! I have no one in this world."
They both remained silent.
"Please, just kill me! I've killed a lot of people, some kids like you. Are you gonna let me live?" the old lady said very emotionally.
Still, Li Yao and Tao Yuhan were still unmoved.
"Hey, girl s*****! Do you know what meat has gone into your stomach? It is human flesh! You have eaten a human because of me!" said the old woman, trying to provoke Tao Yuhan.
The truth just now was disgusting. Li Yao glanced at Tao Yuhan through his eyes. Unfortunately the girl's expression was still unchanged, she was still cold with her purple eyes.
"KILL ME! CHILD *******! *******! *******!" the old woman snapped, couldn't take it anymore.
A knife appeared in Li Yao's hand. Li Yao quickly dropped the knife on the ground, right in front of an old woman who was asking to be killed.
"Kill yourself, you disgusting bastard! I even want to dirty my hands by killing you!"
