Chapter Seventy-Five: The Way of Killing

  In the midst of chaos, it seemed as if there was no pure land, wolf smoke rose, blades clashed, evil energy surged to the sky, and corpses lay scattered all over the fields.

  Fresh blood gushes out, the white bones of the corpse are trampled into a pulp, and the dark brown flesh slowly seeps into the mud, casting a hard-as-iron earth.

  Kill, kill...

  Roar, roar...

  The sound of killing is like thunder, the sound of response is ear-piercing, a sobbing sorrow, a majestic and heroic voice, transformed into echoes that fill the sky, flowing in the hearts of every primitive life.

  Even the Luóu's killing intent clone on the edge of the vast wilderness can feel that life and death are magnificent in the vast wilderness.

  Perceiving the power of killing and fighting between heaven and earth, to comprehend the ultimate principle within, and break through the current boundary.

  Meow! Meow!

  A sound of a reptile's claws inserting into the mud, getting closer and closer, soon, a white jade spider with a body length of ten meters and a height of about one meter five appeared first. The white jade spider was all snowy white, its eight legs were like sharp knives, shining brightly, extremely sharp. Those eight legs moved forward, extremely agile, and the speed was indeed very fast.

  Luò wǔ killed the thought, raised his eyes and took a glance at the opponent. Those spider legs, like sharp knives, flashed with cold light, captivating people's hearts. It wasn't hard to imagine what kind of tragic situation would occur if those sharp blades were to slash across one's body.

  This is the White Jade Spider driven away by Teng Qingshan, a creature without transformation, born with low intelligence, but that white jade-like body has the hardness of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and those sharp claws are even comparable to the Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

  It's not easy to find this creature in such a remote place.

  Another white jade spider was driven over, the angry white jade spider constantly waving its forelimbs, like two death god sickles, cutting off the vampire vines that entwined it. This truly made the killing intent clone astonished, the attack was very powerful.

  In a shrill, eerie howl, the two white jade spiders seemed to have discovered the murderous intent, shaking their white, sparkling spider legs, as if warning or intimidating.

  Sixteen blades suddenly launched together, and for a moment, the sky was filled with white flashing blades slashing through the air, creating residual shadows that swiftly flew towards the killing intent clone!

  "Whoosh!"

  A killing intent burst out of his body, a violent and bloodthirsty aura erupted, the vortex in his body spun wildly, and a strong murderous force surged out from within.

  The black long sword and white spider legs collided fiercely together.

  One of the white jade spiders was instantly overturned by a strong gust of wind, and its eight claws danced in a regular rhythm.

  A killing intent split into two, dancing with a long sword that fiercely chopped towards the spider that had been knocked down. The sharp killing aura mixed with the dense sword aura, tearing apart all things in the path of the sword's edge. Rocks and dust flew about, and the air emitted an ear-piercing tremor.

  That spider suddenly spat out a crystal clear **, which turned into a spider silk in the wind and went crazy around the long sword. A strong tearing force came from the spider silk, causing Luo's long sword to be stuck instantly. The spider silk also had strong corrosiveness, and the long sword condensed with killing intent began to appear corroded spots, emitting a faint black killing intent.

  The black long sword suddenly stopped, and more spider silk flowed towards the black long sword. This spider silk had extremely strong vitality, growing, extending, and the long sword was wrapped in a layer of white gelatinous substance. The spider silk began to stretch out thread-like filaments towards Luo Yu's body.

  Two spiders pulled in opposite directions on the long sword, wanting to cut it off at the waist. The entire long sword was corroded by the ruthless spider silk.

  Luóu mobilized the killing aura within his body, beginning to repair the damaged long sword. A massive force surged towards the long sword, but it was wrapped in spider silk and let out a mournful cry before shattering under the power of the three, dispersing into a vast expanse of black energy.

  At this time, the two spiders seemed to be in perfect harmony, and the spider silk that covered the sky and earth rushed towards the killing intent.

  Every spider mouth spits out a crystal clear thread, constantly twisting in the air to form a spider web. Luo Yu felt that his murderous intention seemed to be of no use, neither could it affect the opponent's mind nor form a killing force. Is this what they call natural opposition?

  All things in the world are born to counter each other, just like water and fire. Water can extinguish fire. However, there is a limit. When fire reaches its extreme, water can only be a kind of fuel.

  The spider silk of these two white jade spiders can actually corrode their own murderous aura, which is a kind of mutual restraint.

  This can only be blamed on my own killing intent not being refined enough, and I still can't merge with the heavens. The Dragon Clan's Patriarch once said that I have already grasped the edge of slaughter, but I haven't mastered the laws within it yet. To freely utilize the power of slaughter in this world at will.

  What is true slaughter? It's not just taking people's lives and nourishing oneself, which can enhance one's magical powers, but it doesn't improve one's understanding of the world and their realm.

  To enter the Way through killing, what is the Way of killing?

  Two spiders' webs have layered and wrapped around Luo Yu's Killing Intent Split Body, with a gel-like substance that continuously corrodes his body.

  Two spiders let out two long whistles and quickly approached the murderous intent clone, wanting to absorb his flesh and blood that was about to turn into **, which was an extremely delicious food.

  Luóu's murderous intent was now trapped in his own introspection, the supposedly invincible killing power he had always believed in turned out to be so fragile that it couldn't even break free from two spiders' webs.

  Black air currents flowed on the surface of Luo's body, mixed with the despair and unwillingness of the Hong Huang Sheng Ling before death, as well as boundless fear. The killing intent rushed into his body in the same trajectory, flowing along the meridians and pouring into the acupoints inside his body at an extremely fast speed, forming a whirlpool that rotated frantically inside his body, as if swallowing and digesting those decomposed air currents, incredibly eerie.

  A bloodthirsty and violent thought suddenly burst forth from the depths of the killing intent's mind, countless whirlpools containing killing intent rapidly spinning within his body. Despair, fear, ferocity, and evil powers quietly sprouted, these negative powers constantly impacting the killing intent's divine sense, as if to drown the killing intent.

  Far in the depths of the underworld, Luohu's true body slowly opened its eyes and let out a sigh towards the sky.

  "I thought I was trying to escape the control of heaven, but it's not that simple. I am me, my clone is me, but also not me. Perhaps the killing intent clones were born within the calculations of heaven all along. Whatever, each has their own destiny, but ultimately related to oneself."

  As he spoke, Luo Yu flew out a strand of divine consciousness from his own sea of consciousness, piercing through the layers of obstruction and flying towards the edge of the sky.

  "Hiss!"

  A white jade spider's legs drew out, cutting straight towards the killing intent clone's skull. At this time, the bloodsucking vine seemed to protect its master, stretching out coarse but tenacious branches that quickly wrapped around the attacking pair of spider legs. Although many vines were severed by the sharp spider legs, the constantly surging bloodsucking vine still managed to envelop the killing intent clone at a critical moment, slowly pulling it away from the danger zone.

  Two white jade spiders, though helpless, could not break through so many layers of rattan, and could only let out a skyward scream.

  On the verge of collapse, the split personality of the killer, if it cannot break through this mental demon, will be torn to shreds by the numerous negative emotions absorbed within itself, and its soul will scatter. This is also an opportunity for him; as long as he can pass through this mental demon, although he was born from Luo Yu's killing intent, he will possess a self-perfecting spirit and become an independent individual, even if he cannot sever his intricate connections with Luo Yu.

  At this time, a ray of pure light merged into the body of the killing intent, which was Luo Yu's initial understanding of the power of slaughter, the comprehension of the path of killing.

  The soul of the murderous intent, which was in agony, seemed to be wrapped in a warm and gentle sunlight, soft and soothing. This power combed through its own soul, purifying the raging emotions.

  "There is nothing in the world that cannot be killed, kill heaven, kill earth, kill people, kill gods, kill ghosts, kill Buddha, kill saints! Establish the way with killing, nourish the way with killing, extinguish the way with killing, guard the way with killing!"

  "Heaven and earth are benevolent. Conveniently kill the treacherous and deceitful to cultivate the Way, heaven and earth are not benevolent, conveniently kill heaven and earth to destroy the Way. It is establishing the Way, also defending the Way."

  The power of slaughter is the power of heaven and earth, it is the power of the operation of heaven and earth. When heaven and earth are benevolent, the power of slaughter of heaven and earth is weak, when heaven and earth are not benevolent, the power of slaughter of heaven and earth is strong, to the point of destroying the world.

  A black aura burst forth from the killer's body, enveloping his soul and transforming into a black dragon. With a mighty roar, it charged towards the sky, opening its mouth to devour a strange power that flowed between heaven and earth. The killer's doppelganger's eyes were shrouded in a dull grey hue, which was all he could see of the power that flowed through heaven and earth.

  Is this the origin of slaughter? I can actually grasp it.

  However, the dim color quickly dissipated in his pupils, and at the moment when the dark night enveloped him again, the killing intent let out a loud roar. He knew he had to seize this opportunity, and the shadow that turned into a black dragon suddenly expanded violently, devouring everything recklessly with its huge mouth. His body also burst open with a loud bang as the black dragon devoured it, and his limbs and skull exploded into fragments and dissipated. The dark energy drifted in the air, condensing towards the black dragon's head.

  Then there were more collapses, chest and abdomen, flesh and blood dissipated directly, skeleton began to shatter, only a thread of black air, surged towards the black dragon in the sky.

  However, Hei Long's absorption of that strange energy suddenly slowed down, as if the opponent was a bone that couldn't be digested.

  Luóu's killing intent clone knew that his own epiphany was not yet complete, and now being able to touch the law of slaughter in this world was already good. Delusions of devouring were impossible, which was also one of the rules of heaven and earth. To make oneself a strong person in heaven and earth, one must go and comprehend their own way, pursue their own way. Without comprehension, putting in effort would not result in effortless gain.

  A black dragon-like shadow quietly lay in the void, like a lifeless black cloud. The black cloud undulated and transformed in mid-air, its shape constantly changing, with a thousand strange and wonderful forms, as if it were evolving into all living things.

  It was unknown how long it took, but the two beams of light shot out from the black cloud, making the living beings enveloped in the two gazes suddenly feel their hair standing on end, and their primordial spirit involuntarily moving with them. A sense of extreme danger immediately filled their hearts.
