Killing God - Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Ugly
Lin Hu and Niu Xiong, the two direct disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who had disappeared from the Demon Island back then, were both experts who had cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm. The shock caused by this even spread to Elder Lingxiao Sect. The sect even sent people down to the Demon Island to search carefully. However, after a busy search, the crowd didn’t get anything. In the end, they had to be disappointed. Most of the people from then on were probably careless and fell into the hands of the ghosts on Demon Island.

However, more than a year later, Shen Shi actually saw these two people again in the Demon Catching Cave. Furthermore, they had already turned into monsters that did not look like ghosts or humans. This was truly inexplicable. Furthermore, from Niu Xiong’s tone, it seemed that there was something hidden in the encounter between the two of them.

However, even though Shen Shi had countless questions in his heart, But now was not the time to elaborate, Because right after Lin Hu, who looked like a ghost, knelt in front of the Yin Ghost King and said, After a while, the black shadow trembled. The mysterious and fierce ghost slowly floated up and floated on the entrance of the cave that emitted golden light. Black gas wrapped around his body. A moment later, a pair of blood-red eyes the size of a copper bell appeared in the black gas, followed by an incomparably cold voice.

“What is it?”

The voice was cold and heartless. Lin Hu didn’t feel the slightest bit angry, but he didn’t seem to feel the slightest bit. He lay on the ground and laughed dryly. He got up and walked back to the dark corner. There was only a chatter. After a while, Lin Hu walked back. However, in his hand, he dragged a person. From afar, he seemed to be thin and thin, but he couldn’t see whether he was alive or dead.

Lin Hu walked all the way to the Yin Ghost King and placed the person in his hand in front of the ghost. Then, he smiled flatteringly and said, “Ghost King, this is a living creature taken from the Heavenly Brahma Ancient Pearl today. It’s actually a young Demon race girl. Isn’t it really your best tonic?”

“Boom!”

A deep rumble echoed out. Black gas surged up like a black flame. Lin Hu’s expression changed and he couldn’t help but take a step back. However, the Yin Ghost King didn’t notice him. Instead, he slowly bent down and looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground. After a moment, he suddenly smiled sinisterly and said,

“Good job!”

After receiving the Yin Ghost King’s praise, Lin Hu immediately knelt down as if he had received some kind of highest reward. He kowtowed a few more times and loudly said, “Thank you, Ghost King, for your praise.”

At the same time, in another dark corner of the stone room, behind that secret crack in the stone, Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled and he almost cried out. The demon girl caught by Lin Hu had a beautiful appearance and carried a red clam shell behind her. It was surprisingly Starfish.

On this day, The strange thing that Shen Shi encountered was really like the waves and tides of the sea. Waves after waves, Not only did he have little chance to catch his breath, One by one, he was surprised, Even at this moment, he found it hard to believe. Didn’t Hai Xing always stay in the Red Clam Village in Qingyu Island? Why did he suddenly come to the Demon Island’s Demon Catching Cave from such a distance? Furthermore, he seemed to have been captured by the ghost Lin Hu and offered to the Dark Ghost King as a sacrifice?

Just now, Lin Hu seemed to have mentioned something called the Ancient Heavenly Brahma Pearl. What was that? It seemed that this unknown Heavenly Brahma Ancient Pearl had captured Hai Xing here, but Shen Shi had never heard of this name before, and it sounded like a mysterious magic treasure?

For a moment, Shen Shi’s mind was in chaos. Especially when he saw the black gas surrounding the Yin Ghost King, which seemed to be gradually approaching Hai Xing, who was unconscious on the ground, Shen Shi became even more anxious and couldn’t help but take action. But at this moment, a large hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed him from the crack in the stone, and pressed him fiercely onto the ground.

Two strange dark red eyes stared coldly at him in the darkness.

“Don’t do anything stupid.” Niu Xiong said in a hoarse voice with a trace of coldness.

④

Shen Shi struggled twice at first, but he quickly calmed down. Although he was still somewhat anxious in his eyes, he seemed to have gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed that impulse.

Niu Xiong slowly moved his arm away. Shen Shi sat up without a word and rubbed the neck that he had just pressed down on. There was a faint pain there. Cultivators at the Origin Condensation Realm were much stronger than those at the Qi Refining Realm. As for Niu Xiong, who was reduced to a half-human and half-ghost monster, it was hard to say how much Dao he had left, but his physical strength seemed to be greater than before.

Niu Xiong turned around and signaled for Shen Shi to stay where he was. He quietly returned to the crack in the stone. He stuck his head out and looked around for a while before coming back again. He whispered, “The Yin Ghost King is cultivating. He won’t eat for at least two hours, so the girl will be fine for the time being. However, she has a clam shell and is from the Red Clam Clan. Do you know her?”

Shen Shi nodded. He also lowered his voice and said, “Yes, I met her in Red Clam Village on the island. She is a good girl. Senior Brother Niu, please save her!”

Niu Xiong snorted coldly and murmured with an inexplicable gloom, “I can’t even save myself. Why should I save someone else?”

Without waiting for Shen Shi to plead again, he pulled Shen Shi up and left the narrow dark passageway. Shen Shi followed Niu Xiong around the dark cave. Soon, he was taken to a secluded fork not far from the passageway. There was only a natural half-open space, surrounded by hard stone walls. The entrance was hidden in a corner of a stone crack. If one didn’t look carefully, it was almost impossible to find this corner in this dark cave.

At this point, Niu Xiong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he let go of the hand that was holding onto Shen Shi.

When Shen Shi saw him stop, he couldn’t wait to ask Niu Xiong, “Senior Brother Niu, what exactly is going on?”

Niu Xiong was silent for a while, but did not speak immediately. Shen Shi looked at him with some apprehension. In the darkness, only Niu Xiong’s strange red eyes flickered. Was he a human or a ghost now?

After a while, Niu Xiong’s hoarse and strange voice finally echoed in the darkness. With some pain, he began to slowly tell what happened that night.

That day, when Gan Ze first landed on Demon Island, In order to curry favor with this proud son of heaven, Lin Hu said, He volunteered to accompany Gan Ze into the depths of the demon island, In the end, for some unknown reason, The two of them actually entered the most dangerous Demon Catching Cave on the Demon Island. At first, it didn’t seem to be a big deal. Some of the ghosts they encountered were easily dismissed by Lin Hu’s Origin Condensation Realm cultivation. However, they soon encountered trouble because an incomparably ferocious Yin Ghost King had actually appeared in the Demon Catching Cave.

This Yin Ghost King is indeed recorded in Lingxiao Sect’s records, His strength was also the strongest amongst all the ghosts in the Demon Catching Cave, but generally speaking, it was a level that required more than ten Qi Refining Realm disciples to work together to barely win. If it was a Yuan Condensing Realm direct disciple, even if it was a bit troublesome, he would still be able to defeat this ghost.

After all, the demon island was set up to temper the Qi Refining Realm disciples, and the demon beasts and ghosts that Ancestors Lingxiao Sect had placed on the demon island could not be too powerful.

However, many years later, this Yin Ghost King, who had been hiding in the Demon Catching Cave for many years, had somehow improved his cultivation. Even though Lin Hu was already at the Origin Condensation Realm, he was no match for him. He was easily defeated by the Yin Ghost King. Gan Ze, on the other hand, saw that the situation was not good. He took out a secret treasure from the Gan Clan and staggered out of the Demon Catching Cave with a red light. He quickly summoned Gan Wenqing, who was ranked among the three swords of Ling Xiao.

Gan Wenqing was one of the three great young masters in Lingxiao Sect. Her cultivation far surpassed that of her peers. She had already reached the Divine Concept realm, and she had even obtained Elder Yun Ni’s personal inheritance from one of the five great elders. Her combat strength was truly different from that of Lin Hu. Therefore, once Gan Wenqing arrived at the Demon Island, she immediately suppressed the Yin Ghost King. In her fury, she heavily injured the ghost and forced the Yin Ghost King to flee into the Demon Catching Cave in a panic.

Gan Wenqing was worried about Gan Ze’s injuries, so she didn’t have the mood to chase after the escaping ghost and left Demon Island with Gan Ze.

However, in the middle, Niu Xiong, a direct disciple of the High Firmament Sect, arrived at the Demon Catching Cave before Gan Wenqing, intending to do his best to rescue Gan Ze and Lin Hu. However, what he never expected was that when Lin Hu was defeated by the Yin Ghost King and was about to be killed, he would actually cry and beg for forgiveness regardless of everything. In order to survive, he would even risk his life to surrender, even if he turned into a half-human and half-ghost monster, he would not hesitate to do so.

What was even more shocking was that after Lin Hu had become a ghost, he seemed to have completely abandoned those courtesies and shamelessness. He took the initiative to advise the Yin Ghost King and even personally pretended to be injured. He led Niu Xiong into the Demon Catching Cave and defeated Niu Xiong by the Yin Ghost King. He also turned this fellow disciple into a monster like himself.

Shen Shi listened. She felt a chill run down her spine, Especially when he saw Niu Xiong’s eyes shining with a strange red light in the darkness, a chill came out from his entire body. However, there was still one thing that he couldn’t understand in his heart. He couldn’t help but ask, “Then … why didn’t Lin Hu let the Dark Ghost King kill you, instead of letting you live? He even turned you into the same, the same, the same …”

However, Shen Shi could not continue. He did not know how to describe Niu Xiong’s current state. He said that he was a ghost, but he still retained some sanity. He said that he was a human, but he was like a walking corpse. He simply could not return to the past.

In the darkness, Niu Xiong’s eyes seemed to be filled with rage and resentment. He said coldly, “He wants to see someone end up like him, and his heart will feel better.”

This was the first time Shen Shi had deeply experienced the so-called darkest and ugliest side of human nature. For a moment, he was speechless.

However, Niu Xiong did not seem to care. At this moment, there seemed to be only a trace of resentment and anger left in his eyes. He coldly said, “I don’t want to live anymore when I become like this. However, the only thing I have done to survive until now is that Lin Hu is afraid of death and desperate to survive. Even if he becomes the Yin Ghost King’s lackey, I will let him die!”

The word “death” was uttered resolutely and without the slightest bit of leeway. Niu Xiong then turned to look at Shen Shi with a deep gaze and said, “Junior Brother, I want you to help me. At the same time, if you want to escape, you can only help me this way!”
