Chapter 1679: Chapter 865: Sudden Death (Part 2)
The mountain wind passed, leaving not a trace of powder.
The abyss swallowed the evidence of sin.
The mist of Taixu obscured cause and effect.
The dazzling and splendid sunset on the horizon illuminated Mo Hua’s solitary figure standing atop the mountain, like a deity indifferent to all living beings.
Once everything was done, all cause and effect were concluded.
Mo Hua collected his thoughts, rubbed his face, dispelled the killing aura from his face, and his expression returned to being calm and gentle.
Accompanied by the mountain mist, he stepped lightly on the jagged mountain stones, moving towards Taixu Gate.
Just like an ordinary little disciple of Taixu Gate.
And as he extinguished the Divine Soul, in the Qian Learning State Boundary and its surrounding areas, various strange death omens frequently appeared.
Outside the Qian Learning State Boundary, in a secluded desolate mountain.
A dozen Sin Cultivators set up an ambush, clutching swords and runes, ready to hijack a passing caravan of cultivators dragging their families along.
But before they could act, several Sin Cultivators were suddenly as if choked, their eyes widened, full of blood threads, and they struggled and screamed like madmen. Moments later, their foreheads turned black, and they collapsed lifelessly, dying inexplicably.
And the cultivator of the caravan also noticed the anomaly.
An ambush battle thus evolved into a direct slaughter...
...
In an unknown Little Immortal City near the Qian Learning State Boundary.
An Evil Cultivator resembling a butcher grabbed a few innocent Loose Cultivators, pressed them onto a chopping board, ready to chop them up and use them to make soup.
He was at Foundation Establishment Peak, and his Evil Skills were on the brink of breakthrough.
Once the Human Slaughter Skill was perfected, everyone would have to call him "Big Brother".
But just as he raised the butcher’s knife, cause and effect were severed.
As if someone, in the unseen, snuffed out his Life Soul.
The Evil Cultivator’s eyes dimmed, and the blood in his eyes gradually vanished, after which his mountainous bulk of a physique collapsed with a crash, dead without a single wound.
The two door-keeping Evil Cultivators, who were also murderous, died painfully together.
Not far away, in a flower house.
A man with oily hair and powdered face had tied up several women, and was preparing for a spree of Replenishing from Others in the terrified eyes of the ladies.
But just as he finished stripping, his face suddenly turned ashen and, after a violent twitch, he collapsed beside the bed, dead.
...
Within the Qian Learning State Boundary, in the Taoist Prison.
A Sin Cultivator hiding in the corner, using Disguise Technique, was with a sinister smile marking lines on the wall, calculating the day of his "release", planning a big business upon release.
But suddenly, a death omen descended.
His heart vessel felt as if gripped, making it impossible to breathe, causing immense pain.
He struggled desperately, shouted desperately, his fingers scratching the wall until they were bloody and flesh blurred, and until the wall was mottled with blood marks.
Moments later, he breathed his last, without any further sound.
The lines he previously drew on the wall were completely covered by the blood marks he scratched out with his fingers.
The dates he calculated were all rendered void.
He died in the Taoist Prison. This life, he would never get out again.
...
And within the Qian Learning State Boundary, in several moderately-sized sects, some disciples also died mysteriously, shocking the elders, but investigation into the cause yielded no clues.
...
Meanwhile, on Mistwater River.
Inside the Xia family’s Spirit Boat.
Hua Ruyu was in the cabin dressing.
She used rouge to cover the burn marks on her face, borrowing these cosmetics to make herself still appear charming and beautiful.
In the brightly red room, Hua Ruyu’s pretty face was grotesque, under the red light, she looked like a ghost.
"All men in this world are the same."
"The higher the position, the more lustful they are."
"The skills I have on the bed, are skills that ordinary women cannot learn, even though I’m now older and less attractive, unappealing to the young masters, but my allure tricks can still be used to train little girls, to turn them into enchanting beings in bed..."
"The young masters are reluctant to let me die..."
"Besides, after all these years, I’ve sold myself to make people laugh, and have met so many people, wanting me dead? It’s not that simple?"
"The rouge boat capsized, there will sooner or later be another boat, as long as the desire between men and women exists, there will be plenty of boats in this world..."
With resentment on her face, Hua Ruyu murmured while dressing.
But as one’s expression arises from the heart, no matter how much rouge she applied, she couldn’t change the indulgent and twisted face in the mirror.
Adding the burn marks, it looked more like embroidery torn apart and then sewn back together, appearing all the more unsightly.
Hua Ruyu was furious, hatred embedded deep in her bones.
"Gu Changhuai... it’s all because of you!"
"And Hua Qianqian, heart of wolf and lungs of dog, not appreciating good intentions... As your sister, I’ve done so much for you, just wanting you to enjoy the utmost pleasure between man and woman, yet you pretended with me, you despicable person..."
"Especially that little beast called Mo Hua!"
"With such a beautiful face, whether you’re male or female, there will be young masters who like you... Someday, I will make you regret it."
"Before that, as long as I train more girls to satisfy those above, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sudden chill in her heart. As if someone cut off her death penalty, set her death date.
Her Divine Soul began to wither, dwindling in the pain, she seemed to see many faces.
So many charming beauties, as if flowers clustered together, all in the best years, all lovely and beautiful.
They smiled at her, genuinely calling her "sister".
