Killing God - Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Despair
“What is a disciple of Lingxiao Sect?”

The old white monkey asked calmly. His gaze was also calm as he looked at Shen Shi. However, in Shen Shi’s ears, it sounded like a thunderclap had suddenly resounded in the sky.

He silently looked at the old monkey demon. His aged expression was withered. No matter how he looked at it, it was already close to exhaustion. Even though he was a demon who had always been famous for his physical strength, at this point, the old white monkey could no longer pose any threat to him.

However, Shen Shi’s heart trembled inexplicably. Under his gaze, he even felt a trace of fear.

Unknowingly, it has already been three years …

He thought this in a daze, speechless.

The old white monkey took another sip of wine. It was unknown if it was because of this human wine. His aged eyes were blurred and confused. He sighed softly and whispered,

“Stone, what is a cultivator of the Soaring Firmament Sect?”

Shen Shi Qiang smiled and said, “I randomly said it to escape …” Halfway through the explanation, under the gaze of Old Bai Monkey, his voice gradually lowered. Standing at the side, Shi Zhu did not seem to understand why the two of them suddenly began to say strange words, while Little Hei Zhu squatted at Shen Shi’s feet and seemed to yawn in boredom.

In the forest, the atmosphere gradually became cold and subtle.

Old Bai Monkey stared at him deeply. After being silent for a long time, when the atmosphere here became colder and colder to the point that even Shi Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, Old Bai Monkey suddenly said indifferently, “I thought about it carefully just now. Ever since I met you three years ago, I brought you back to the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe. Until today, I still didn’t expect you to do anything harmful to the Azure Snake Tribe.”

Shen Shi did not say anything.

The old white monkey also fell silent. The two of them had once been intimate friends, especially the old white monkey who admired Shen Shi very much. At this time, they discovered that they had suddenly become much stranger to each other, and they actually had a feeling of speechlessness.

The wind blew through the woods, the leaves rustling, and the sky gradually darkened.

Old Bai Monkey muttered to himself. He didn’t know what he was talking about. He then looked up at the top of his head, which was covered by branches and leaves. He looked at the night sky outside the crack and sighed. He said,

“So the night here looks similar to the night in the Demon Realm.”

“Hu … Hu …” A deep snoring sound came from the side at this moment, breaking the awkward and stiff atmosphere. The two silent people turned around and saw Shi Zhu lying on the ground beside him. In the shadows of the forest, he fell into a deep sleep.

Before escaping from the Demon Realm, Shi Zhu had already been heavily injured by the Demon General’s Blood Wolf. He had his arm cut off, and after arriving at the Origin Realm, he continued to run. There was practically no time to rest. Even with his strong body, he was unable to hold on at this time and unknowingly fell asleep.

From the looks of it, this pig demon slept peacefully and peacefully. Even though his face was ferocious and fierce, he looked exceptionally quiet and gentle when he fell asleep. It was as if he was at ease. Perhaps in his simple mind, the people beside him were all his most trusted friends.

A friend worthy of entrustment.

That was why he fell asleep peacefully, sleeping so sweetly, as if he was like … the little pig that had just been born in the Black hell Mountain Range many years ago, who loved to sleep and was greedy.

Shen Shi silently looked at the stone pig. In the past three years in the Demon Realm, he had gone to battle with this pig demon countless times. In life and death, even though the stone pig was the most ordinary and ordinary pig demon in the Demon Realm, to him, the stone pig was still different from others.

Looking at the sleeping stone pig, a trace of warmth flashed across Shen Shi’s eyes.

“I also picked him up.” Suddenly, an old but calm voice came from beside him.

Shen Shi turned his head and looked at the Old Bai Monkey. After night fell in the forest, the surroundings gradually darkened. At this moment, the Old Bai Monkey’s face seemed to be trapped in a shadow, and it looked somewhat blurry. However, his voice was still very clear, carrying some memories as well as some frustration. He said indifferently,

“It was a long time ago. When I saw him in the Black hell Mountain Forest, a litter of stone-skinned pigs were being surrounded by a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. The pigs were all bitten to death, leaving him alone. I chased away the rest of the wolves and found him trembling from beneath the sow’s bleeding body. Well, he was just born at that time, but I could tell that there were some signs of bloodline mutation on his body. Perhaps this was also the reason why the bloodthirsty wolves, who had always traveled alone, would attack them. After all, demonic beasts had always coveted mutated bloodlines.

“Afterwards, I brought him along. After I grew up, he followed me until now.”

Shen Shi sat quietly beside Old Bai Monkey and listened to his aged voice recalling the past. He listened carefully word by word without the slightest bit of impatience.

The old white monkey raised its head. “But he’s just a pig demon, right? He’s very stupid. He has been bullied by other demons since he was young, so he only trusted me for so many years.” The old white monkey smiled and said, “It wasn’t until you came that Shi Zhu became his second friend.”

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

Old Bai Monkey stared at Shi Zhu’s sleeping figure in the darkness and said, “You don’t know how happy Shi Zhu has been since he made friends with you. Although he is stupid and can’t speak, I can tell that he will stand in front of you every time the tribe starts a war and battles with blood.”

“He won’t say anything nice. He will only block swords and knives for you.”

“If he wants to bleed, he will think that it should flow out of him.”

“If he wants to die, he will think that he will die before us.”

“Am I right, Stone?”

In the shadows of darkness, Shen Shi’s body seemed to be trembling slightly. After a while, he said softly but forcefully,

“Yes!”

A soft voice echoed, like a Old Bai monkey laughing. However, in this forest that was gradually becoming cold and gloomy, his voice sounded so lonely and empty. After a moment, the old monkey demon quietly asked,

“So, you’re actually the same as those human cultivators. You’re not a Demon race Ghost Wizard, but a human?”

This time, Shen Shi was silent for a very long time. Old Bai Monkey quietly waited until in the darkness, the figure in the black robe seemed to have completely merged into the shadows of darkness. He replied calmly, calmly, with a faint hint of apology but with determination. He said to him in the darkness,

“Yes!”

In the small village outside the forest.

A few torches were lit under the curtain of night. Under the illumination of the flames, one could see a large number of Grey Lizard Tribe members lying on the open space in the village. At this moment, it seemed that most of them had been tied up. All of them looked dejected and grey, and their faces were filled with despair.

Outside the largest house, the four human cultivators of the Black Sword Sect were all standing there. However, Nangong Ying, whose family background was extraordinary, had already disappeared, and she did not know where she had gone.

At this moment, the four of them were gathered together, as if they were discussing something with each other.

One of them said to Senior Brother Geng, “Senior Brother Geng Cheng, Senior Sister Nangong said that she was going back to Duanyue City. She used a secret technique to contact the Heavenly Sword Palace to find out if there is such a person in Lingxiao Sect’s sect. How long will it take for her to return?”

Geng Cheng shook his head and said, “How would I know such a secret art?”

Qian Yi suddenly sneered and said, “In my opinion, Shen Shi is most likely fake. Even if there is such a person under Lingxiao Sect, who can prove that he is not faking Shen Shi’s name?”

Geng Cheng glanced at Qian Yi and suddenly sighed, “Junior Brother Qian, I know that your parents died unfortunately under the hands of the remaining evil spirits of the demon race. However, for us cultivators, a firm Dao Heart is also indispensable. Every time you encounter the demon race, you are so vicious. In the long run, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to your Grand Dao.”

Qian Yi remained silent for a moment before nodding his head. “Thank you, senior brother, for your teachings. I will remember them in my heart,” he said. After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became a little cold. “However, I did not intentionally have prejudices against these Demon race, or against that fellow who calls himself Shen Shi. There is one thing that I think Senior Brother Geng and the two senior brothers have probably forgotten.”

Geng Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, “What is it?”

Qian Yi said indifferently, “If I remember correctly, the Ling Xiao Sect, which is ranked among the four righteous sects in the world, has a sect rule. If a disciple does not enter the Origin Condensation Realm, he is not allowed to go up Golden Rainbow Mountain or travel around the world.”

After pondering for a moment, Geng Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, “It seems that there is indeed such a thing.”

Qian Yi sneered, “That fellow who calls himself Shen Shi, the Jade Manor hasn’t opened his dantian yet. He is only at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. This kind of trash claims to be a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect Sect, yet he walks freely into this remote Origin Returning Realm. Is this believable?”

Geng Cheng nodded slowly. It seemed that he had already believed Qian Yi’s words. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Junior Brother Qian, what you said is reasonable. However, since things have reached this point, we cannot act rashly.” Right now, our first priority is to send these Gray Lizard Demon race to the Spirit Crystal Mine to be used as coolies to dig for Spirit Crystals. This is a major matter. As for Shen Shi and the remaining two escaping monsters, we’ll talk about it after Junior Sister Nangong returns, but it’s best to leave someone to keep an eye on them … ”

At this point, his gaze swept across the other three people. When he seemed to be hesitating, Qian Yi suddenly stood up and said, “Senior Brother, let me go.”

Geng Cheng frowned. There was some hesitation in his heart. Junior Brother Qian had always hated Demon race because of his parents’ accidents, and his temperament was a little extreme. However, other than that, the relationship between them was always very good. Geng Cheng could not refute his face too much. After pondering for a moment, he still nodded and said, “Since Junior Brother Qian volunteered, then you can stay.” However, as long as you go to the forest to keep an eye on those people, everything will be up to her when Junior Sister Nangong returns. ”

Qian Yi smiled and nodded in agreement. Then, he turned around and walked towards the forest outside the village.

④

This cold and pitch-black night looked exceptionally long.

The wind blew harder and harder, blowing through the forest with endless chill. All the birds and beasts in the forest curled up in their nests, quietly waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow, the beginning of a new day.

Before that, how long would the darkness last?

How much coldness and gloom do you have to endure?

Old Bai Monkey fell into a long silence. He tightened his body in the darkness, as if his withered body was unable to withstand the bone-piercing cold of the night. He quietly glanced at the sleeping Stone Pig, and when he heard the steady and calm breathing, he suddenly felt envious.

He really wanted to fall asleep peacefully like this, without all sorts of troubles. Wouldn’t it be a happier place when he was sleeping in his dreams?

But he knew he couldn’t sleep.

He felt that his body was very cold. He felt that this strange place was much colder than the Demon Realm, but his rationality clearly told him that this place was not particularly bad.

Perhaps his heart was cold?

Maybe he’s going to die?

His fingers, toes, and every inch of his skin was as cold as ice, and the slightest trace of coldness seemed to have penetrated into his body as if he was about to freeze into an old ice monkey. Fortunately, the Old Bai Monkey suddenly smiled in the darkness with a hint of self-mockery.

Fortunately, at the very least, at this moment, there was still a jar of flower-carved wine.

He suddenly burst into laughter, then suddenly hugged the jar of wine, opened his mouth, and drank loudly.

The wine was mellow and fragrant, like jade. It was the best taste he had ever tasted in his life. From the corner of his mouth to the tip of his tongue, from his throat to his stomach and intestines, every inch of the wine flowed warmly to the Old Bai Monkey.

The wine dispelled the chill and warmed his heart. The old white monkey couldn’t help but be intoxicated by the feeling of heaven. He continued to drink with some groans and sighed sincerely in his heart,

This is the real wine. It’s not a waste of my life’s expectations. Even if I die now, I really don’t have any regrets.

When Shen Shi discovered that something was wrong, he jumped up and rushed over to snatch the wine jar. The old white monkey tilted its body, as if it had choked on wine. Its back leaned against a large tree and coughed. The coughing gradually became frequent, and afterwards, it brought about a faint heart-wrenching pain.

Shen Shi crouched beside him, lowered his voice, and angrily said, “Are you crazy? If you drink like this, people will die!”

Old Bai Monkey’s body was trembling violently. Suddenly, he stretched out his trembling palm and grabbed Shen Shi’s arm. Shen Shi subconsciously retreated, but then he saw the Old Bai Monkey staring at him in the darkness.

It was a gaze filled with pain, disappointment, struggle, and confusion.

His body instantly froze, unable to move. He didn’t even dare to look straight into his eyes and slightly lowered his head.

The old white monkey’s hurried breathing sounded in his ears. After the cough calmed down a little, the old monkey finally said, “Are you still that stone?”

Shen Shi was silent. He raised his head and looked at him. That aged and wrinkled face was not far away from his eyes, and the palm that he was holding onto his arm seemed to be trembling slightly at this moment.

Shen Shi didn’t say anything else, he just nodded.

Old Bai Monkey took a deep breath and stared at Shen Shi in the darkness. “Tell me, are what those people said during the day true? Has the human race really become so powerful?” He said.

The darkness was completely silent. It was as if the darkness had reached its deepest and densest point. It was as if the answer was like a terrifying hand dragging them into hell. However, under the gaze of Old Bai Monkey, Shen Shi was unable to say anything against his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “Yes.”

The old white monkey was dumbfounded. A look of despair finally flashed through his eyes. He slowly released his palm, and his eyes gradually became somewhat empty. He muttered, “How could this be? How could it be like this?”

Shen Shi saw that his body was faintly shaking, as if he couldn’t even sit down steadily, so he hurriedly went forward and hugged him.

When he hugged the Old Bai Monkey’s shoulder with both his hands, he suddenly discovered that the old monkey’s body had already become so thin. It turned out that beneath those clothes, it was already a skinny body. It turned out that the feeling of running out of oil had never deceived him.

He sat blankly, only hugging the trembling Old Bai Monkey tightly. He felt that the night was so cold and long, and he felt that the old monkey beside him seemed to be dying at any moment.

However, there was nothing he could do. All he could do was barely hold the trembling and desperate old monkey demon tightly, hoping to warm him up a little.

Suddenly, in the seemingly boundless darkness, a deep and hoarse song suddenly sounded. It was an ancient song that carried the boundlessness of a long time ago.

Splitting Heaven and Earth … Breaking Primordial Chaos … Saint Demon Existence … Wan Shining …

The world of laughter … is filled with ants … but my demon … is eternal …

Pijian Rui … Slash the enemy’s head … Blood surging … Thirsty General …

Every word, every word, carried endless arrogance and boundlessness, echoed in this strange and cold night sky, as if telling of the glory of ancient Demon race in the past.

However, that voice seemed to be trembling. In this cold and gloomy night wind, it gradually turned desolate. Finally, it gradually turned into despair. It turned into a heart-wrenching choking sob. It dissipated with the wind and turned into nothing in the darkness.
