Chapter 971 - 303: Curtain Falls_6

"True Monarch can’t understand?"

Holding Xu Xiu’s struggling Nascent Soul in his hand, Revered Lou Ni sneered playfully, then sighed, "Although True Monarch treated me that way back then, who can blame a monk for having a kind heart?"

"Now it’s time for True Monarch to understand while being a ghost."

This Revered Lou Ni seemed to know that the Great Prosperity True Monarch was quite conceited and always fully confident in his schemes, intending to humiliate him well before his death.

This is "killing someone and punishing their heart"!

"True Monarch thought implanting false memories in me back then, making me muddle-headed in Dragon-slaying Valley, unknowingly helping you extract the Dao Source from Celestial Dragon Temple is brilliant?"

Xu Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You know it all?"

Lou Ni sighed gently and turned to look at the two from the Tribulation Fire Sect and the Underworld, equally surprised.

Just now, out of ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both factions, Xu Xiu had already slain eight.

If Revered Lou Ni hadn’t intervened, these two would be dead by now.

"True Monarch perhaps doesn’t know what ’Shixiu Buddha Son’ signifies?"

"One who is the Buddha Son must be of great wisdom to be worthy."

"This great wisdom refers to the Wisdom Root."

"True Monarch shattered my Dharma Bone, yet never realized that I still possess the Wisdom Root."

Pausing briefly, Revered Lou Ni flicked his finger to emit Spiritual Power, temporarily sealing the bloody hole in Xu Xiu’s abdomen.

"Upon seeing through your plan, I pretended to cooperate, reincarnating time and again in Dragon-slaying Valley."

"I was waiting for an opportunity!"

Fury flickered in Lou Ni’s eyes; he suddenly waved his hand, throwing Xu Xiu’s body to the ground, then looked down at him with a smile and said, "Does True Monarch know Feng Jingyang has always been dissatisfied with you?"

"Did you know his ambition has always been alive?"

"This is my opportunity!"

"Each time he came to investigate me, I hinted at him using the ’Seed of Destiny Transformation Scripture’..."

"Finally, after the last time True Monarch left Dragon-slaying Valley, I fully enlightened him."

Hearing this made Xu Xiu’s face show sudden realization.

Struggling to sit up, he gave a wan smile and said, "I’ve calculated everything, but never counted on that fool being enlightened by you..."

"Indeed, he is a rotten wood that cannot be carved..."

"Did you hear!? Did you hear!?"

"Feng Jingyang, oh Feng Jingyang, I told you, this old man doesn’t think much of you!"

As soon as Xu Xiu finished speaking, Lou Ni immediately began shouting hysterically!

With his shouting, the flesh on his face contorted again, and his aura began to change.

He then transformed back into Feng Jingyang’s appearance.

At this moment, Feng Jingyang looked disappointed, silently staring at Xu Xiu and said, "In your heart, am I truly so worthless?"

Xu Xiu furrowed his brow slightly, not understanding what kind of evil skill Revered Lou Ni was using to transform his body back to Feng Jingyang.

He did not reply.

Seeing this, Feng Jingyang spoke in pain, "Whether it was then or now, whatever you asked me to do, I did it."

"Guarding the desolate place of Dragon-slaying Valley for centuries, have I ever complained to you even once?"

Feng Jingyang’s voice rose slightly, filled with questioning tone.

Xu Xiu sneered.

He knew that it was too late to say anything now.

Since Revered Lou Ni dared let Feng Jingyang re-possess the body, it meant he had absolute confidence in controlling Feng Jingyang.

And at this moment, Xu Xiu suddenly came to a realization!

Doom, this was all his doom.

All the previous strategies and schemes had ultimately failed to deceive fate, and the destined calamity still couldn’t be avoided.

"Speak up!"

"Am I truly inferior to Luo Tianxing in your eyes?"

"Even inferior to Zhang Zeduan who betrayed you!?"

Seeing Xu Xiu’s face with a sneer, Feng Jingyang suddenly turned furious, then hysterically and loudly questioned.

Xu Xiu looked at him, his expression indifferent, and said: "Compared to those two, you’re just an idiot..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingyang’s expression froze, but a trace of ruthlessness quickly flashed in his eyes!

His palm suddenly exerted force, directly crushing the struggling Nascent Soul in his hand on the spot!

Poof!

At the moment the Nascent Soul exploded, Xu Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body rapidly aged visibly!

The hair once full of silver lost its luster, falling strand by strand, while his once rosy skin seemed deflated like a balloon, quickly shriveling!

Within a few breaths, he transformed into a lifeless corpse, falling towards the magma-filled earth below!

As Xu Xiu’s Nascent Soul was crushed, his physical body died and his spirit vanished, and the forbidden grand array he controlled began showing signs of slowly dissipating.

In the void, Feng Jingyang’s facial flesh twisted for a moment.

"Wait a moment!"

"I still have unfulfilled wishes!"

"Didn’t you say that the Immaterial Brahma Body should be free from longing for best results?"

Feng Jingyang’s voice resounded.

Soon, another voice emerged from his mouth - that of Respected Lou Ni: "What more wishes do you have?"

Feng Jingyang turned to look at the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect not far away, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes!

"Old geezer may have looked down on me, but these two - I must help him kill them."

"Even if not for him, I must avenge myself from years past!"

Before the words were finished, Feng Jingyang’s figure, like a ghost, rushed towards the two, leaving a trail of afterimages!

Bang!

Bang!

When Feng Jingyang returned to his original place, far out in the void, the bodies of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs eerily exploded, turning into a rain of blood, falling downward.

As for their Nascent Souls, they dissipated along with their bodies.

"Is it all settled now?"

Respected Lou Ni’s voice sounded; Feng Jingyang did not speak.

His gaze turned towards the direction of the Southern Border, seeing only endless sea water.

His facial muscles twisted briefly, transforming entirely into the visage of Respected Lou Ni once again.

Once the transformation was complete, Respected Lou Ni checked his body, touched his bald head, then raised his head and closed his eyes, murmuring in enjoyment: "Don’t worry, this humble monk will live well with your body..."

...

Below, Lu Benshui and the Nascent Soul Realm black dragon, still battling numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs, sensed Xu Xiu’s aura vanish the moment his Nascent Soul was crushed!

The two dragons were shocked, feeling quite puzzled about what transpired!

Meanwhile, the nearby Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who were near exhaustion, suddenly noticed the power of the forbidden grand array enveloping them rapidly declining!

The dark purple sigils in the void were gradually dimming!

"Is the forbidden grand array about to disperse!?"

"That old fellow Great Prosperity True Monarch must have fallen!"

"Everyone, quickly join me in attacking, break this forbidden grand array, then we’ll deal with those two crawling creatures!"

Someone exclaimed.

The various Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the field, whose appearances were miserable, immediately soared into the sky, unleashing terrifying attacks on the dimming array pattern!

"Quick, follow me to the Five Elements Secret Realm!"

Above the ruins of Yunshui City, Shen Wenxing and Xu Zhan heard the shouts, watching the elder from Purple Sun Mountain retreat from the battlefield in embarrassment, feeling anxious, when Shen Yuan’s voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

At the same time, down below, Shen Li and Shen Wen’an also heard Shen Yuan’s transmission.

The four of them froze for a moment, then directly transformed into streams of light, flying towards the rear mountain!

"Elder Black Dragon, if you have nowhere to go, why not temporarily stay at our Shen Family!"

On the way to the rear mountain, Shen Wenxing glanced at the somewhat confused black dragon in the void above, feeling a surge of emotion, couldn’t help but speak.

The black dragon hesitated upon hearing this, but seeing Lu Benshui already departed, let out an unwilling roar, chasing after Shen Wenxing and the others!

Boom!

The numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs above simultaneously attacked, finally breaking the unattended forbidden array!

Without the suppression of the forbidden array, the restored Nascent Soul True Monarchs noticed Shen Wenxing and the others escaping to the Five Elements Secret Realm, immediately put off recuperating their injuries, and pursued one after another!
