Chapter 1243: Unorthodox Path

The Ten Thousand Evils Demonic Cultivator and the Flesh-Mutilating Demonic Cultivator were stunned by the scene before them.

"How did he manage to spit out his heart while divining?" Zheng Fei wondered aloud, "Though that painting was quite disgusting, he didn't have to go this far, did he...?"

Li Shou, meanwhile, was gazing down at his own chest cavity, seemingly contemplating the feasibility of spitting out his heart and crushing it.

How cool that would be!

The Diviner ignored the thoughts of these two fools completely. He looked at Jing Ye, the general guarding Illumination City, and roared fiercely, "Kill him!"

"Didn't you say we couldn't kill him before!" Zheng Fei grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The Diviner turned his head, his face covered in blood, his usually peaceful eyes now filled with ferocity.

Zheng Fei pouted, "Kill him, kill him. Why are you so fierce?"

Although he said that, he immediately drew a large saber and, with a series of steps, held the saber with both hands and brought it down upon Jing Ye!

But at this moment, Jing Ye, who was bound to the ground like a pig and utterly helpless, suddenly had a blood-red glow in his eyes!

This blood-red was so deep, so dazzling.

It was a wild and brutal blood-red, a blood-red devoid of any emotion.

It was a state that should not belong to Jing Ye at all!

Everyone in Illumination City knew that General Jing Ye cultivated a righteous and awe-inspiring cultivation method.

But now, he looked even more evil than the most wicked person!

The ropes binding him instantly snapped, completely unable to restrain him in the slightest.

With just one hand, he grabbed Zheng Fei's large saber and twisted it slightly—

Crack!

It was broken!

"Wah yah yah!" Zheng Fei cried out in distress and surprise, his stomach rumbling with anger.

But he had no idea what fear was. With only the broken saber in his hand, his steps did not falter, and he still charged forward!

While he was so brave, the Diviner was not idle either. He directly forced a bead of blood from his fingertip, wrote in the air with it, and scattered it to form a blood-red illuminated character: "定" (Ding - meaning "fix" or "still").

Jing Ye, who had undergone a sudden transformation, easily broke Zheng Fei's large saber but showed no intention of continuing the fight. He immediately took a step back, trying to leave the courtyard. However, this step was fixed in mid-air!

That blood-red character "定" had immobilized him.

Zheng Fei had already caught up, swinging the broken saber repeatedly, creating countless afterimages. In mid-air, he dismembered Jing Ye into hundreds of pieces!

Blood rained down, chunks of flesh scattered, and bones snapped.

The dignified General guarding Illumination City died in an instant.

And the Diviner only said, "Split up and escape!"

Then he stomped on the divining platform. As he crushed the platform under his feet, his body transformed into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared into the distant sky.

Fortunately, Zheng Fei and Li Shou did not question why they had to escape or where they should escape to at this moment.

When the Diviner himself had to flee for his life, even people as heartless as them had nothing to say. The two of them leapt out of the courtyard together, choosing the opposite direction from the Diviner, and fled rapidly into the distance.

As soon as their front feet left the courtyard, the blood energy within the courtyard suddenly became thick, even congealing into a bloody miasma that roared incessantly. This bloody miasma did not rush out of the courtyard; it was just an extremely brutal aura that was gestating within, as if it were about to take shape.

It was at this time that Zheng Fei and Li Shou finally understood the reason why the Diviner had previously said that this person could not be killed.

Killing this general, it turned out, would trigger such a change!

But why kill him now?

Of course, Li Shou wouldn't think about this question, and Zheng Fei was too lazy to think about it.

Escaping for their lives was great fun and very exciting right now. They just needed to see who could escape faster!

Three breaths later, a gaunt old man stepped into the courtyard where the bloody miasma had condensed.

It was Yu Beidou, who had appeared on Linzi Street before.

He appeared out of thin air, yet it felt as natural as pushing open a door and stepping through to arrive here.

At this moment, the divining platform was destroyed, and the pile of corpses remained.

He immediately captured the information he wanted.

But at the same time, the chunks of flesh that were slowly piecing themselves together and the brutal and terrifying aura that was taking shape, of course, could not be ignored by him.

"Body of the Blood Fiend of Passion and Desire Annihilation?" Yu Beidou frowned.

Now was the time to make a choice.

Was it the Body of the Blood Fiend of Passion and Desire Annihilation, or the Diviner known as the Fortune-Telling Demonic Cultivator?

"Spit!"

Yu Beidou spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the piecing-together demonic body.

He turned and flew towards the direction the Fortune-Telling Demonic Cultivator had fled: "Since it's already a crooked path, who cares about the common people under heaven! This is Ruan Qiu's job!"

His figure flashed and was gone.

After this period of gestation. Within the courtyard, the chunks of Jing Ye's flesh had all pieced back together.

But it was no longer the appearance of Jing Ye. Instead, it was a grim, pale-faced, beardless old man.

If Yang Xuance were here, he would naturally recognize Liu Huai, the chief eunuch of the Yang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the courtyard.

Liu Huai's gloomy eyes愣了一愣, as if he were still pondering his state. Then he casually waved his hand, turning all the corpses in the courtyard into blood-red light and absorbing them into his body.

He swallowed, feeling a long-lost sense of hunger.

Then he looked around, sensing the boiling popularity in this city, and revealed a knowing smile.

"That dead old eunuch, smiling is really disgusting!"

A shoe print appeared on his face, covering his smile, stepping on his head, pushing him to the ground, and then trampling his head into the ground!

The unkempt Yu Beidou quickly formed hand seals, creating seals one after another and imprinting them on Liu Huai's body, while still muttering incessantly, "I just want to snatch Ruan Qiu's job, damn it! Piss him off!"

On the Star-Moon Plain, Jiang Wang, who had replenished his star power, suddenly felt a huge sense of palpitation.

It was as if an invisible hand had seized his throat and clutched his heart.

But this feeling flashed and was gone.

The black and white divine power seed representing the crooked path spun around, but showed no other signs.

Jiang Wang composed himself and looked out, seeing the clear sky, wide clouds, and boundless brightness.

And on the vast Star-Moon Plain, a small gray dog was bouncing around tirelessly.

Jiang Wang opened his mouth to call out, only to remember that he hadn't named the dog yet.

You're so stupid, I'll call you Stupid Gray.

After pondering seriously, he called out, "Stupid Gray!"

The little gray dog didn't know this was its new name, but it heard Jiang Wang's voice and turned around happily, wagging its tail, and ran back through the uneven grass.

Jiang Wang picked it up and casually used water magic to give it a bath while it yelped.

This was a hot water technique combining water and fire elements.

After the bath, he used a hot air technique combining wind and fire elements to blow the little dog, now named Stupid Gray, dry.

While being blown dry, Stupid Gray kept its eyes closed the whole time, its small head twisting back and forth to avoid the wind.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, Jiang Wang's hand was near its paw, and it never scratched.

It could bite Jiang Wang with a single lowering of its head, but ever since it followed Jiang Wang, it had never bared its teeth at him again.
