Chapter 103: Each with Their Own Thoughts and Means of Cruelty

  Just as Wang Guang was killing the three Orthodox Qi practitioners, an old woman in the Wan Zui formation was desperately trying to break free and escape. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong time; if she had used her technique on the first day, she would have been able to escape with certainty. If it were the second day, she could still have escaped by exhausting some of her vital energy. But after three days, unless she had achieved Golden Elixir, no matter how many heaven-defying secrets she possessed, she would not be able to escape the formation.

  He casually threw a few corpses into the large array, and black smoke billowed, in the blink of an eye absorbing the bodies and souls of three Qi-refining practitioners. For a time, the black smoke grew even thicker, the stench even more pungent. "Wú Liàng that Heavenly Venerable! Fellow Daoist, don't waste your energy, are you going to resolve this yourself or let me resolve it for you?" Looking at the old woman struggling wildly in the large array, Wang Guang burst out laughing eerily.

  "Can you spare my life, fellow Taoist? After all, we don't have any grudges against each other." The old woman said in a tired and low voice: "If you spare my life, I'll let you take away all my treasures without uttering a single complaint."

  The old woman thought for a long time before reluctantly saying these words. Considering she had been at Lianhua Peak for over a hundred years, every demonic cultivator who caught her eye would be killed by her. Who would have thought that today she would ask this demonic cultivator to spare her life? It was truly shameful. However, in order to survive, that shame had long been discarded. "I can also tell you the cultivation method I've practiced, and use it as compensation. What do you think?"

  "Wang Guang burst out laughing. 'Haha! Haha! I love hearing people beg for mercy!' He said with a sinister grin, 'Tell me, do you think I'm a good person or a bad person? If your answer is to my liking, I'll let you go; but if it's not, then don't even think about leaving this place alive.'"

  "Dao You is a good man, a really good man." As soon as Wang Guang finished speaking, the old woman immediately shouted loudly.

  "That poor Taoist is a good person, why are you still blocking his way? I think this old fellow has a problem with his brain, do you think so?"

  "It's true, but I'm afraid I've made a mistake, taking good people for bad ones." The old woman said with gritted teeth.

  "Haha!" Upon hearing this, Wang Guang burst into a strange and eerie laughter. He didn't know what the old woman was thinking, but he knew she had conceded defeat. However, even if the old woman was now being humble and submissive, he still didn't want to let her off.

  "In that case, I won't take your life." Wang Guang smiled strangely and pointed to the lotus flower under her feet: "You throw this treasure aside first, I absolutely won't take advantage of you even a little bit."

  The old woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stopped talking. She stomped her foot, and the three-foot-square lotus flower flew out from under her feet and landed nearby, floating quietly in mid-air.

  The lotus flower flew out from under the old woman's feet, and Wang Guang hurriedly activated the infinite black smoke in the Wanxie Great Array to frantically erode this lotus-shaped treasure. Without its master's spiritual power to support it, how could it withstand the erosion of the endless filthy energy? In a short while, the pure white jade-like lotus flower was covered with black threads, which were crazily crawling towards the interior of the lotus flower, and this was Wang Guang's method of transforming the treasure using his secret technique.

  An old woman beside him looked at Wang Guang's method, her face twitched, and without saying anything, she silently closed her eyes and floated in mid-air, lost in thought.

  The black smoke gradually eroded the white lotus flower, and the farther back it went, the greater the resistance of the lotus-shaped magic treasure. It took a full hour for the lotus-shaped magic treasure to be eroded by the endless black smoke, covering almost half its area, leaving only a palm-sized area in the central part intact.

  Wang Guang was overjoyed at the sight, and hastily spat out a few mouthfuls of green smoke to accelerate the refinement of the lotus flower treasure. The old woman beside him saw that Wang Guang was using the Ten Thousand Filth Array to forcibly pollute his own treasure, although she was extremely sad in her heart, but she didn't show it at all. Instead, she became more and more fearful and helpless.

  "Old man, although you're not worth much anymore, I'll keep my word and spare your life for now. Are you willing to become my servant? Help me hunt down millions of living beings to refine magical treasures?" With a few bursts of magic power, Wang Guang's face turned somewhat pale, but he seemed oblivious to this and allowed the black smoke to carry him towards the old woman.

  The old woman answered with a sorrowful face and pretended to kowtow to Wang Guang.

  "Daoist friends are truly kind and gentle, thank you for your kindness." The old woman suddenly clapped her hands together, and her two arms burst open, transforming into a bloody sword. The bloody sword trembled slightly in the air before instantly piercing towards Wang Guang's head.

  "A good move." The old woman suddenly attacked Wang Guang, but Wang Guang was not only unafraid, he even burst out laughing. "I've been waiting for your move for so long, and it's just a blood sacrifice, not even worthy of being on stage."

  As they spoke, a black smoke suddenly split open at the Daoist's feet, and a dark light burst out of the smoke and struck the Blood Sword. The Blood Sword was shattered by the dark light in an instant, and before the old woman could react, the dark light had already pierced into her chest.

  Dark light burst, seven or eight thin black lights spread from the old woman's chest, and in the blink of an eye, they bound her up. The black light wriggled again, and the Taoist robe on the old woman's body was torn apart. The dark light pierced into several main meridians, and also passed through three holes in her body, temporarily trapping the old woman so that she couldn't move at all.

  Just then, the lotus flower treasure that was about to be eroded suddenly trembled violently. Before Wang Guang could react, the treasure burst open. Tens of thousands of illusory lotus flowers flew out from the shattered treasure, some flying towards the old woman and some flying towards Wang Guang.

  "This method is still acceptable, but it's still not enough to take the stage." Wang Guang sneered and saw him move a powerful grasping technique. Two large green hands emerged from his palms and blocked the lotus flower illusions that were charging towards the two of them. With the help of rolling black smoke, the countless lotus flower illusions disappeared without a trace in an instant.

  The old woman, shrouded in dark light, saw that her last two desperate measures had no effect, and suddenly revealed a look of despair. She was truly desperate now. After the black light wrapped around her, she found that she could no longer mobilize the law in her body.

  "I only regret that you, a wicked demon, didn't fall for it. Otherwise, even if I had to sacrifice my own life and soul, I would have destroyed you, this evil creature." The old woman lost her composure after realizing that her initial humble demeanor was just being toyed with by the other party. With her hair disheveled and shouting loudly, she cursed, only thinking of provoking the Taoist priest to give herself a sense of satisfaction.

  "Haha! Fellow Taoist, you're really funny. Your acting skills are not up to par. How can you yield so quickly? If you seal your own magical powers and walk in the Jianghu for a few years, you'll understand that your disguise is just the lowest of means." As he said this, Wang Guang's face twisted with ferocity. He didn't withdraw the Wanxie Great Array, but instead flew to the old woman's side and suddenly stretched out his hand to pierce her two thighs. With a loud rip, he tore off two chunks of flesh and threw them into the air, letting the black smoke devour them.

  "I, the poor Taoist, said I would slaughter you, and I will definitely slaughter you. Even if you have Dan Shifu as your backing, I will still slaughter you." Wang Guang laughed maniacally and tore off another piece of flesh from the old woman's leg, only stopping when he had ripped her thighs to the bone, leaving not a single thread of meat attached.

  "You despicable person, thinking you can stop me from taking revenge for my murder? You're truly deserving of death! Haha! Just a few days ago, didn't you look down on me like I was nothing? What do you think now?" As he spoke, Wang Guang tore off a handful of hair from his head and twisted it into a whip. He then lifted the whip and brutally lashed it at the old woman's body, striking her until she wailed in agony, overcome with pain.

  "If you want to beg for mercy, I'll let you go kill 10,000 ordinary people, and then I'll spare your life. What do you say?" Wang Guang fiercely whipped the old woman with a loud shout.

  The old woman simply closed her eyes and didn't even look at Wang Guangyi. It was clear that she had an idea of non-violent non-cooperation.

  "Haha! You were born with a special talent, able to distinguish good and evil, and thus cultivated a personality that hates evil like an enemy. I won't kill you now, but instead imprison you on the Wanxie Changfan, letting you watch how I slaughter millions, and see me do all sorts of evil deeds." After speaking, Wang Guang ignored the old woman's shocked expression, stretched out his hand and beckoned, a black smoke burst into the sky, splitting apart to reveal a Wanxie Changfan emerging from within.

  The Taoist grabbed the long banner with one hand and the old woman's body with the other. He shook the banner violently, stopping only when it had inflated to three to five zhang in size. Then he forcibly pressed the old woman's body onto the banner.

  Only to see the long banner writhing, a stock of black smoke flew out from the long banner and wrapped around the old woman's body, pulling her into the long banner. The old woman was in agony, screaming loudly, begging the Taoist priest to give her a quick death. But the Taoist priest had a heart as hard as iron, not caring about the other person's pleas. He didn't care about the old woman's begging and cursing, and simply embedded her into the long banner.

  After doing all this, Wang Guang stretched out his hand and pointed to the large formation again. Eight black pillars shot up into the sky. These black pillars split open on both sides, each flying out a million filthy long banner from inside. In the blink of an eye, nine million filthy long banners gathered together, merging into one that fell into the Daoist's hands.

  The massive array of filth was dispelled, and the endless black smoke and foul odor lost their restraints, drifting everywhere. Wang Guang refused to give up on the filthy aura that had taken three days to gather, shaking his long banner repeatedly as he began to absorb those filthy auras.

  Every time the banner swayed, a painful wail was transmitted from it. At this moment, carefully observing the banner, only to see that there was an extra bulge on its surface, and an old woman was embedded in it, wailing in pain.

  "You wicked creature, your behavior will surely be punished by the heavens!" The shrunk old woman shouted loudly.

  However, Wang Guang simply ignored her and accelerated the shaking of the black flag. Every thread of black smoke that entered and exited the flag pierced through the old woman's body, causing her to wail in agony. At this point, the old woman would rather have had her soul extracted and refined into a ghost than suffer such an ending.
