Chapter 439 - 438: I Really Took a Huge Loss This Time!
CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 438: I REALLY TOOK A HUGE LOSS THIS TIME!
Old memories, like a mighty mountain, weighed heavily on both the old man and the middle-aged beautiful woman.
After a long silence, the old man spoke: "Back then, those people, now only you and I are left alive. They all tried to compensate you, and dying by your hand, they are without complaints or regrets.
Too many have died already, and now the Luo Family has found a master, breaking your inevitable death trap. You should stop."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman’s face turned from ridicule to anger, as if her eyes were about to shoot out fire.
"It was you!"
The old man shook his head: "If I could break your inevitable death trap, I wouldn’t have helplessly watched so many people die at your hands. This time, the Luo Family has really found a master."
The middle-aged beautiful woman did not believe a word of what the old man said.
The resentment on her is a creation born from the fusion of the Evil God Avatar and her hatred, and as long as she lives, no one can eradicate it.
"Impossible! No one can break my death trap. I kept my promise and was trapped by you people in this deep mountain. This must be your calculation, you have broken your promise to me again!"
Thinking about this, the resentment in the middle-aged beautiful woman’s eyes resurfaced again, and her originally beautiful face slowly became covered with black marks.
Sixty years ago, when these people discovered something was amiss with her, they immediately wanted to eliminate her. Unfortunately, her resentment had long been nourished to grow.
Eventually, both sides reached an agreement that these people could not prevent her from taking revenge, while she moved to this place deep in the mountains where the remnants of the Evil God sealing array were to reside.
Seeing that her enemies were mostly dead, she was then told that someone wanted to stop her revenge.
The old man’s face showed a trace of terror when he saw the middle-aged beautiful woman’s face full of black marks.
"You... you deceived us!"
To resolve his junior sister’s resentment, he had endured heartbreak for these past sixty years, watching his former companions being killed by his junior sister one after another.
He was even prepared mentally for his own death, only hoping to resolve this karma and grievance.
But to his surprise, his junior sister’s resentment not only showed no sign of being resolved but had even solidified to this extent.
Almost instantly, he realized that this resentment tainted with the Evil God’s breath had gained more nourishment through repeated killings.
His expression was suddenly filled with despair, and his entire being was suffused with the aura of a dying person.
He murmured to himself: "You hid so well, truly one mistake leading to countless others..."
Had he known earlier, he would have rather endured a lifetime of guilt and heartache and desperately tried to stop it, better than now, with so many dead, and this resentment fostered and grown.
The middle-aged beautiful woman’s eyes had now completely turned black, with not a hint of white left.
She snorted coldly: "I have long seen through your sanctimonious masks. You sacrificed me for the lives of others, and later abandoned others’ lives to placate me.
If I hadn’t feigned well enough, how could you have while lamenting guilt, allowed me to kill those who owed me?"
"Pfft~"
The old man directly spat out a mouthful of blood, unclear if he was shocked or angered.
The middle-aged beautiful woman disdainfully shifted her body, afraid of contamination.
"This is all your doing; naturally, the consequences are yours to bear. Once I break the last sealing here, I will kill many more!"
Initially, she rejected the power within her body, but after so many years, this power has coexisted with her for too long.
To the point where she was already accustomed to the power, not to mention its overwhelming might, which captivated her intensely.
Now, she has also sensed that the Evil God seems to have many scattered believers among the world, and she just needs to leave here.
By then, relying on her powerful force, she can completely gather these believers together.
Just imagining her future, rallying with a single call, floods her with immense joy.
The old man’s body swayed: "You’re mad!"
"You and I are not on the same level anymore; you have no understanding of the Evil God’s power!"
The old man couldn’t hold it any longer and fell straight to the ground.
At the same time, a disdainful voice from the middle-aged beautiful woman rang out: "If not for keeping you for killing the sacrificial array after I break the sealing, you wouldn’t have survived till now!"
Meanwhile, Yun Ran, who was calculating at the Kyoto Hotel, let out a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ginsengfruit had been quietly waiting beside him, not expecting to see a painful expression appear on Yun Ran’s face.
He wanted to approach but feared disturbing the host, and became a bit flustered himself.
Seeing Yun Ran’s face turning paler, with beads of sweat pouring down his forehead, Ginsengfruit felt his heart lurch to his throat.
After another half hour, Yun Ran finally stopped his calculations.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Ginsengfruit felt that now Yun Ran seemed to have darkened entirely, turning grey and dull.
He quickly took the towel he had prepared beforehand and went forward to wipe the sweat from Yun Ran’s face.
"Host, how are you?"
Yun Ran felt pain throughout his body, as if his bones had been ground into powder, lacking the strength to open his mouth to speak.
Ginsengfruit was frightened by Yun Ran’s state, took out a handful of Nourishing Essence Pill, and fed them to Yun Ran.
Fortunately, the Nourishing Essence Pill melted immediately upon entrance; if not, considering Yun Ran’s completely powerless state now and having to chew and swallow, it would have been an added burden.
After a while, the effect of the Nourishing Essence Pill kicked in, and Yun Ran finally began to recover.
His first words upon speaking were: "This time, I’ve lost terribly!"
Ginsengfruit: ???
"Help me to the bed to lie down."
Though Ginsengfruit might be small, his strength was formidable, easily half-supporting and half-carrying Yun Ran to the bedside.
"Host, you should rest for a while, I’ll stay here and watch over you."
Being ’watched over’ is, in fact, guardianship, as even the little papermen had flown out, guarding around Yun Ran’s room.
When Yun Ran temporarily loses his combat ability, without needing to call, the little papermen automatically appear here, forming a solid defensive array.
Yun Ran quickly fell into a deep sleep, naturally missing the sight of the wooden object stuffed with Spirit Puppet in her bag trying desperately to crawl out.
And was unaware that Wang Mian, who was handling accumulated matters in the study, suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, reminiscent of the feeling when his father passed away.
Just as he considered examining further, that panic suddenly vanished, leaving no trace.
