Chapter 453: Killing Path. Kill Everything and Everyone!

The General of Bloody Sea who was rushing suddenly jolted. He said in a hurried tone, “A situation! Run!”

“Run? Really?”

Along with a loud scoff, Styx Laozu’s body gradually appeared. He had an evil smile on his face as he looked at the crowd mockingly.

The General of Bloody Sea squinted his eyes. He said in a low voice, “Styx Laozu!”

Black and White Impermanence’s hearts sank.

There was no doubt that Styx Laozu was very powerful. He was at the peak of Quasi-Saint. They were no match for him.

Black and White Impermanence were only in the Golden Immortal Realm. The General of Bloody Sea was only in his late-Taiyi Golden Immortal. They were unable to fight Styx Laozu.

The General of Bloody Sea pulled out his knife. He was fully alert without showing fear on his face. He called out, “Styx Laozu, why did you do this?”

“I’m cultivating a Killing Path. I need the power of the masses. They repress and boycott me. This is why they restrained me from killing everyone!” Styx Laozu said in an eerie voice along with a cold smile. “Who’s there to stop me in today’s world? I, Styx Laozu, will kill everyone to accomplish my path!”

He laughed while unleashing the Bloody Sea all over. Waves were rippling. Soon, the red ocean rushed out and the General of Bloody Sea had nowhere to go.

The General of Bloody Sea’s face sank. “You want to kill us to accomplish your path?”

Out of so many paths, there was indeed a Killing Path.

However, the law of nature did not permit this path. Therefore, it was restrained. Styx Laozu’s fate restrained him from becoming the main character in this world. Furthermore, killing would create a lot of karma and attract punishment from the Heavenly Path. Due to this, he was hiding in the Bloody Sea all year long and never had any intention to cause a scene.

And yet, he was now killing everything to accomplish his path!

The General of Bloody Sea said in a low voice, “Styx, aren’t you afraid of karma?”

“Ha-ha-ha, karma’s nothing. I’m about to be detached. Karma’s just a restraining order from the Heavenly Path. Once I’m detached from this Heavenly Path, karma’s…nothing!” Styx Laozu said and waved it off nonchalantly. He laughed wildly as he continued, “I’m so annoyed by you bunch of Onis. You even sent out monks to my Bloody Sea, chanting sutras like flies. Wait for it, the Underworld will be the first place I wipe out!

“Come inside me!”

Styx Laozu ran out of patience. He made a gesture and instantly, boundless Bloody Seas formed into a Bloody Sea palm, reaching out to capture the three of them.

The capturing was easy. The palm consisted of all kinds of Laws. The General of Bloody Sea had no chance to resist or even hide from it. They were helpless.

Meanwhile, a grey lotus lantern with white corners appeared in the General of Bloody Sea’s hands. There was a ghost flame burning in the lantern.

As the lantern appeared, the flame in it let out a glow that surrounded the three of them.

It was one of the four magic lanterns—the Lingjiu Palace Lantern.

This was a powerful defensive lantern. Nothing could penetrate it. It could connect to the Underworld and replay one’s lifelong experience.

Spit!

The General of the Bloody Sea spat out a mouthful of fresh blood into the lantern. “I summon the Houtu Empress.”

Sizz!

Instantly, the weak lantern became wild. The flame inside it was getting bigger as a phantom appeared in the air. The phantom was becoming more realistic. It finally became a woman with a human face and a snake’s body.

This was different from how Meng Po looked in the Underworld. They looked completely different.

This was her true form, the actual Houtu Empress. She looked elegant and formal. She was half human and her bottom half was a snake. However, she did not look scary. In fact, she looked like a motherly figure.

As she appeared, the gigantic bloody palm collapsed. The Bloody Seas around them were pushed away a few hundred meters.

Houtu Empress made a wave and the light from the lantern formed into a path leading them back to the Underworld.

“Let’s go!” The General of Bloody Sea wasted no time. He scoffed in a low voice and led Black and White Impermanence down the path.

“Looks like you Underworld got hold of this Lingjiu Lantern with some tricks.” Styx Laozu smiled coldly. “Virtuous Houtu, how much power are you left with? You’re just a phantom! Whoever comes today won’t be able to save you all because I say so!”

In his hands were Yuan Tu and Abi, the bloody swords. They turned into two red flashes. One sword stabbed Houtu Empress. The other turned into a long arch crushing down the path!

The General of Bloody Sea and the rest looked pale. They were terrified. They staggered and were severely harmed.

The phantom of Houtu Empress remained with her sunken face. She scoffed clearly, “Run!”

With that said, the Lingjiu Palace Lantern let out a brighter glow to block the two bloody swords. There was a boundless flame lashing out, holding up the Bloody Sea.

“Thank you Houtu Empress for saving us!”

The General Bloody Sea knew this was severe. He dared not stay any longer. He led Black and White Impermanence to rush out from the Bloody Sea.

However, before they could escape, a black flame landed from the sky. It turned into a black flaming snake that lashed out and surrounded them.

“I, Qiongqi, am here. How dare you try to run from me? What a dreamer!”

Qiongqi had been observing by the side. It stretched out its wings and appeared from the sky. Its Daluo Golden Immortal Qi was fully released. The flames were vulgar and it was about to swallow them all.

The General of Bloody Sea and Black and White Impermanence had looks of despair on their faces. They knew it was time. They could not fight this beast.

“Qiongqi, don’t panic! I’m here to help you!”

Vroom!

Along with the cry, a wind blew by. The wind was so powerful, Qiongqi’s wings jolted along with its skin. When the wind finished blowing, it opened its eyes and saw that the three of them were blown away. They were nowhere to be seen. Nobody was around!

Mosquito Taoist held the Palm Leaf Fan as she rushed over. “What is it? Why did they run away?”

Qiongqi was perplexed. It realized they were gone and gritted its teeth as he yelled at Mosquito Taoist. “You blew them away! I was winning, why would I need your help?”

Mosquito Taoist said, “I panicked. What about this? Don’t resist me and I’ll fan you so you can chase after them?”

Qiongqi’s eyes sparkled. “That’ll work! Hurry, hurry!”

Mosquito Taoist nodded. She fanned again. Instantly Qiongqi was blown far away. Soon, it was nowhere to be seen.

By the side, the Bloody Sea was dispersing. Styx Laozu held on to the Lingjiu Palace Lantern with a smile on. “I did gain quite a bit out of this. With this lantern, I’ll be claiming the Underworld easily.”

Mosquito Taoist looked at Styx Laozu and asked, “Styx, why did you do this?”

“I’ve found an improved way.” Styx Laozu’s words made Mosquito Taoist’s pupils dilate. He smiled and continued, “But we have to hurry while the world’s still unstable. If not, just like our fate, we won’t be able to come out!”

Mosquito Taoist’s heart thumped. She said, “What’s the improved way?”

Styx Laozu smiled and said, “You don’t have to care about this. Just follow me. You and I came from the Bloody Sea. I won’t leave you behind.”

Mosquito Taoist looked at Styx Laozu. She did not know whether he would leave her behind or not. All she knew was that she was now working for the expert. Based on the expert’s generosity and realm, it was wiser to work for the expert instead of Styx Laozu.

Most importantly, Styx Laozu’s fate would not end up well anyway…

As they spoke, Qiongqi was flapping its wings and rushing down from the sky. It looked angry.

It scowled, “Damn that mosquito! You must’ve fanned me in the wrong direction. I didn’t manage to catch them!”

Mosquito Taoist’s eyes glinted. Her bloody wings appeared behind her and she disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already in front of Qiongqi. The nail of her index finger grew out like a blood-red straw, stabbing Qiongqi.

Qiongqi moaned. It spat out some black smoke that surrounded Mosquito Taoist.

Below the black robe, she grunted. She fanned the Palm Leaf Fan in her hand and the continuous wild wind blew over it. Qiongqi’s vision blurred out. When it opened its eyes again, Mosquito Taoists had already vanished from its sight. In the next moment, it felt a sharp pain in its buttock. Instantly, it moaned out loud in pain.

“Argh!”

Its wings spread out as it tried to leave right away.

“A little tiger like you trying to get away? You even scolded me? I’ll stick a needle into you to release some blood!” Mosquito Taoist stood in the air. Her index fingernail sent the blood into her like a straw. With a gentle suck, one could see its blood going into her mouth.

This was the food ordered by the expert?

She was helping the expert by conducting a poison check.

She had it planned. She had to minimize her flaws to not appear guilty in front of Styx Laozu.

Qiongqi growled, its eyes filled with cruelty. It had a layer of black smoke all around its body. It called out with anger, “You!”

Although it could not see Mosquito Taoist clearly, it could feel her eyes on it as if she was looking at a dish. It did not feel good about it. It did not like it!

“Okay! We merely let go of a few ants. Don’t take it too personally,” Styx Laozu said. “You’re both my left and right hands. Don’t fight against one another. We have a plan!”

Mosquito Taoist’s eyes glinted. “What do you plan to do next?”

“The Saints use Deluxe Merit to become Saints. I’ll kill the sky, the ground, and all the humans to become one!” Styx Laozu said as his eyes flashed red. He growled coldly, “I have countless Blood Gods and thousands of Asuras. We’ll continue the massacre and mess up the three realms! Once we’ve killed enough of them, we’ll find a spot of violence for the Bloody Sea formation. All will come in one. By then, I’ll be able to improve!”
