Chapter 182: Chapter 156: The Aura of Life and Death_3"Bro...ther...have mercy..." "Oh, you can still speak so smoothly?" Zhou Xuan pressed Liu Jinmin’s head back into the boiling water, and after another two or three minutes, Liu Jinmin was dragged out, barely breathing. Zhou Xuan took the statue and pointed at the Life God, "Look, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, absorb his life essence, death essence, and I’ll let you go!" Hearing this, the Life God, who was tortured to the brink of death, could only kneel on the ground, his chest splitting open into nine bloody pits. As the pits opened and closed, two wisps of smoke emitted from Liu Jinmin’s body, and then were absorbed by the nine pits. "Fifth Brother! It’s your turn to watch over this process of absorbing life and death essence; don’t let him die." "Don’t worry!" Lv Mingkun took the Bamboo Leaf Blade, straddled Liu Jinmin’s legs, crouched down, and carved out one of the blood pits from his chest with a knife. "Damn you, for disgusting Fifth Lord!" "Ah..." Liu Jinmin weakly cried out in pain, just as he had when torturing Mrs. Liu. Lv Mingkun repeated this, one cut after another, keeping Liu Jinmin’s miserable life lingering until all the life and death essence was drained. The seven blood holes on his body were also completely carved out, and with the last cut, Lv Mingkun’s Bamboo Leaf Blade rested at his throat, slowly pushing it in... "Can you let me go now?" the Life God anxiously asked Zhou Xuan after seeing Liu Jinmin die. Zhou Xuan replied with a sinister smile, "Fifth Brother, do to the Life God just as you did to Liu Jinmin earlier!" "You... you’re not keeping your word!" "You, an Evil God, talk to me about keeping one’s word? Twice!" Zhou Xuan raised two fingers. Lv Mingkun laughed joyously, saying, "The seven pits earlier were disgusting, your nine pits are even more disgusting... Come, let Fifth Lord serve you well!" Soaked in boiling water, having the pits carved out again and recklessly stabbed with a knife, the Life God, despite being a deity, suffered torment akin to purgatory. Until the Life God no longer had any signs of life, only convulsing slightly with the Evil God’s will still in his body, Zhou Xuan stood up and shattered the statue into pieces, the Life God’s last convulsions ceased, ending his wicked life. The Wash Away Injustice Talisman on Zhou Xuan’s chest trembled; he took it out and turned to the last page—it indicated death on August 25th, at the True Destiny Church on Stadium Road, Mingjiang Prefecture, with two repeated entries for wash away injustice. Two lines, what did it mean? Zhou Xuan thought that this should mean two opportunities to enter the Totem Hall! Last time, after killing Chun Meng, it took nearly Five Incense to get one chance to enter the Totem Hall, killing the Life God this time, who seemed too weak to have any incense, unexpectedly gave two opportunities. "The number of reward chances doesn’t seem related to the opponent’s skillfulness; it mainly depends on their category." Chun Meng was human, which gave one chance; the Life God was an Evil God, albeit a very weak one, yet it gave two chances. If the target was an Alien Ghost, how many times would it give? Zhou Xuan put away the Wash Away Injustice Talisman. At this moment, the body of the obsession "to die" had already dissolved into glowing dots, burrowing into Zhou Xuan’s body. These light points represented the memories of those obsessions from their lifetime. Zhou Xuan carefully searched through these memory fragments, finding seemingly nothing of use. However, because Liu Jinguang had caused the deaths of about ten people from East Market Street, including some elders from East Market Street, Zhou Xuan saw such a scene in the memories. "At the head of East Market Street, there was a four- or five-year-old dumb boy standing in the middle of the street, staring blankly into the distance. A rickshaw passed by, but he did not dodge, standing dazedly in place; fortunately, a young girl rushed out, swooped him up in time, and saved him from being hit by the rickshaw. The girl asked while holding the boy—What’s your name? The boy stared blankly. "What’s your surname?" The boy remained blank. "This little one is a wild child, without a father or mother, fighting with dogs for food every day." An old lady passing by said to the girl. With a kind heart, the girl said, "You’re so wooden, so your surname should be Mu, I’ll call you Mu Hua. You can call me Sister Cui, let’s partner up, and get through life together." Sister Cui hoisted Mu Hua onto her shoulder and continued walking forward, her shoulder covered with a few strands of orange fox fur." As the memory scene vanished, only then did Zhou Xuan realize that Mu Hua and Sister Cui were not biological siblings. "Sister Cui is truly kind." Zhou Xuan sighed with emotion. ... Zhou Xuan and Lv Mingkun found two clean robes in the room, changed clothes, took some hidden old wine from the church, poured it all over Liu Jinmin and the Life God’s bodies, set a fire, and left the premises. Walking down the road, the two slightly hunched over, portraying an appearance of harmlessness and politeness. Zhou Xuan recounted to Lv Mingkun how "Mrs. Liu" and the "Ironsmith," two living people, were scalded with glass on their heads and had their throats pierced by red-hot iron. "It’s all that Evil God’s doing..." ... When the two corpses inside the True Destiny Church were burned down to mere bones, a dog-like shadow slipped inside, sniffing the room’s scent carefully before following Lv Mingkun and Zhou Xuan’s exit path out of the room. The hound-like shadow was not aware, obeying only a woman’s command. At that moment, the woman’s voice echoed in the shadow’s ear—"Someone dares to sever my arm! Little Black, find them for us!" ps: Almost 10,000 words with two updates, brothers, love you all.
