Chapter 3043: Chapter 1574: Half a Life in Stealth, Unknown, Suddenly Tailoring Reveals True Form
Swish, swish, swish!
Under the soul wave light of destruction, the branches of the Di Ying Holy Plant receded like the tide.
Those unable to evacuate in time had their vitality wiped out completely, akin to a gecko’s severed tail, left behind in the Eighteen Heavens.
And the Cursed Yin Evil God…
This face of the evil god, awakened in the Thirty Three Heavens and visualized in the Eighteen Heavens, attempting to unleash the Power of Heavenly Punishment, couldn’t even utter a harsh word before dissipating entirely.
Along with it, the bizarre and enormous purple pupil that failed to even cast a fierce glare shattered as well.
“Perfect!”
The Ultimate Giant shrank with a thud, transforming into the Berserk Giant, then shifted into the human form of Xu Xiaoshou, who lightly descended to the ground with ice smoke swirling around his fingers.
But that was not all. This filthy human glanced around, and facing the lifeless air, began thumping his chest with the right hand used to obliterate the Ancestral God, like a great ape:
“I, Hallmaster Dao, am invincible!”
Hoo…
The wind whistled softly, met with complete silence.
Once he finished thumping his chest, Xu Xiaoshou pointed to the void, thumbs up then down, and smirked scornfully:
“You, Cursed Yin Evil God, are trash!”
The scene was incredibly quiet for a moment.
From afar, Elder Sang gasped in astonishment.
What on earth has transformed this child into what he is today after I left?
Assuming others’ identity and slinging mud were bearable, that was his nature.
But to add those words as if fearing that the remnant spirit of the Cursed Yin Evil God was watching him was utterly excessive!
“Not excessive, not excessive…”
“He is so cautious that it’s heartbreaking…”
Elder Sang comforted himself with these words before hurrying over, his dark circles rapidly warning him mostly about Hallmaster Dao nearby.
Swish, swish.
Cen Qiaofu, Bai Zhou, and others returned, positioning themselves around Xu Xiaoshou in a triangular formation, subtly facing off against the direction of Hallmaster Dao.
Yu Mo with his golden beast mask paused and stared at the back of Xu Xiaoshou, his fists tightened then relaxed.
“Enough.”
“Compared to Hallmaster Dao, I am already fortunate. I did not become Xu Xiaoshou. I merely became his friend.”
“Sleeveless was right. Compassion is a beautiful motherf**er! I’ll endure! Hold it back!”
The fragmented sky slowly repaired itself.
Such is nature, never truly shattered within its rules.
But not so the human heart.
Hallmaster Dao struggled immensely to hold back a slew of real self-revealing obscenities.
The Xu Xiaoshou of today, whether in combat strength or intellect, differs vastly from the past.
He strode calmly, looking at the young man.
That fellow even had a bit of expectation on his face, not knowing what he was anticipating.
Hallmaster Dao took a deep breath and asked, “Why did you impersonate my name?”
Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback, shook his head, and said, “I didn’t.”
Didn’t?
What didn’t he do?
Hallmaster Dao’s expression hardly improved: “So you impersonate me, but why remind It… Cursed?”
As everyone knows, revenge usually means facing someone for a direct assault, but curses are a different matter.
The shadow of curses also loomed large over Hallmaster Dao.
Once between the multi-layered defenses of Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe, he had endured a curse of Five Decays of Heaven and Man from an incredible distance.
Since then, things had gone wrong:
Being backstabbed by his sister, thirty years of stolen fortune, forced to enter Divine Relics voluntarily, thinking the area was strange with divine priests but, in fact, it was with the evil god…
Too many variables not considered in the original calculations had arisen.
Whether these were related to the curse of Five Decays of Heaven and Man was unclear, but during times of misfortune, recalling someone once pointing a hand gesture at him always felt displeasing.
And since the curse of Five Decays of Heaven and Man could cross the distance between Qingyuan Mountain and Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe, it was plausible that the curse of the Cursed Yin Evil God could descend from a corner of the Heavenly Realm.
Initially, Hallmaster Dao found Xu Xiaoshou’s impersonation amusing.
When he and Sword Deity Hua first spoke of Xu Xiaoshou, the latter had the absurd name “Xiao Shi Tan Ji” hanging over his head.
Now, Hallmaster Dao found himself amusing.
The strongest plans had no hint of the awe brought by the Unpredictable, only making one retrospectively wonder how someone could be so silently influential.
Confronted by two layers of doubt, Xu Xiaoshou seemingly ignored them, still frowning and shaking his head:
“Not that, either.”
Not that?
Nor that either?
Hallmaster Dao had to focus on this question now and asked, “What isn’t it?”
Xu Xiaoshou then grinned, embarrassedly smiling: “Haven’t you realized the key issue yet?”
“I was told by my master since childhood,” he said, turning to look at Elder Sang.
The latter took a reflexive step back, anticipating something bad about to unfold.
Then the defiant pupil said:
“He always said…”
“Altruism should expect no reciprocation, but if the person saved could say a simple ‘thank you,’ it shows good upbringing.”
Hallmaster Dao’s lips twitched violently.
Elder Sang, even more anxious, turned a darker shade.
You’re lying!
I never said such things!
But seeing Hallmaster Dao focusing solely on questions rather than mentioning the rescue, he could only snort coldly in what felt like agreement.
Hallmaster Dao’s mouth opened twice before he forced out a twisted, “Thank you.”
Xu Xiaoshou: “You’re welcome, you should be thankful.”
“Doubted, Passive Points +5.”
The scene fell silent once more.
After what seemed like an eternity, Hallmaster Dao regained his composure, realizing his quest of retribution should not end here, and immediately spoke out:
