Although the law of the jungle is the natural rule, cannibalism among the same race means the annihilation of humanity!
"Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, Xie Ling will find out!"
They roughly held down Xiu Xiu's head and raised the knife high.
The blood - thirsty blade reflected a pair of red, tear - filled eyes.
"Stop!"
An enraged voice came through the air. However, the next moment, Xiu Xiu felt a chill on her neck, and the world spun before her eyes.
The gray sky was the last scene Yao Hua saw through Xiu Xiu's eyes.
She heard Xie Ling's out - of - control roar and the clashing of weapons. All the sounds mixed together and finally turned into a cloud of black mist.
After the brief blindness, the black mist gradually dissipated.
Xie Ling stared at her with his scarlet eyes like a wild beast.
"You've seen it all," he said with a smug curl of his lips. "If it were you, could you do any better?"
In Xie Ling's memories, Yao Hua was so used to this face that she didn't find it scary at this moment. Instead, she felt pity. "Do you really think it's right for you to kill people at will?"
"If the gods don't love the world, what's the use of them? If the gods can't kill all the evil people in the world, then I will." He paced slowly towards her. "They can't grow food, so they resort to cannibalism. What's wrong with killing such people?"
"Yes, as the law of cause and effect goes, it's natural for you to kill them," Yao Hua stared at him. "But I don't believe that every person you've killed deserved to die!"
At least she didn't!
"So what? Killing one more person means one more portion of food. When Jincheng appears in the future, it will be a paradise in Shenzhou." Xie Ling tilted his head, looking a bit puzzled. "What did I do wrong?"
What paradise? Yao Hua suddenly couldn't quite understand what he was saying. But before she could think it through, Xie Ling changed the topic. "Then why do you always speak up for the gods?"
"Everyone has their own destiny. The gods are all - loving. As you said, if the gods only killed evil people for you, with such partiality, wouldn't Shenzhou have been in chaos long ago?" Yao Hua couldn't help but say. "You say the gods don't care about the world, but you don't know that when the meteorites were rampaging that day, the air in Shenzhou was completely polluted. If it weren't for God Chongming taking charge and preserving some fresh air in time, and persuading the other realms to extract most of the remaining fresh air for the Shenzhou continent, do you think you'd still be alive here to question the gods?"
Xie Ling's face darkened so much that it seemed as if water would drip from it. "It doesn't matter. No matter what you say, you're going to die today!"
The black mist quietly turned into shackles and locked Yao Hua.
His words and deeds were all out of indignation for his parents, for Xiu Xiu, and for the world. But his actions were no different from those of the executioner who brutally slaughtered Xiu Xiu that day.
Yao Hua suddenly calmed down. "Have you forgotten how Xiu Xiu was slaughtered that day? If Xiu Xiu were here, she definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."
The sword was less than an inch from Yao Hua's forehead. If it were pushed in just a little more, Yao Hua would face the situation of her spiritual platform shattering and her soul disappearing.
Thankfully, these words still had an effect on Xie Ling.
She let out a sigh of relief in her heart and felt a bit strange.
She and her master were both caught in the black mist together. Why had she come out while her master still showed no sign of movement?
"If it weren't for these so - called pitiful people, how would Xiu Xiu have died?" Although Xie Ling stopped his action, his expression was still terrifying. "You didn't care about those evil people before. Why do you think you can come and control me now?"
Who wants to control you? Everything in the world has its own destiny. Since Yao Hua was involved in this, she had no choice but to tough it out and solve this matter.
Actually, Xie Ling's thoughts weren't entirely wrong. It's just that his actions were too extreme. All living beings are equal. Apart from the Heavenly Way, who has the right to judge others and decide their life and death?
Even her master only followed the Heavenly Mandate and maintained the order of the Heavenly Way.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Xie Ling suddenly cover his head in pain. His handsome face contorted, looking like a piece of rice paper with snowflake patterns being kneaded recklessly after getting wet.
Then, the air behind him fluctuated for a moment, and Chongming's figure gradually emerged.
"Master!"
Yao Hua quickly winked at him, indicating that he should unlock her quickly.
Chongming waved his sleeve, and the black mist that had locked Yao Hua immediately disappeared without a trace.
Yao Hua moved her hands and feet and ran to his side. "Master, why did you come out so late?"
"I was delayed by some things." Chongming's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, but there was a slight change when he saw Xie Ling.
"Is it you?" Xie Ling gritted his teeth and glared at Chongming. "What did you do to me?"
"The backlash of the demonic heart. You'll soon turn into a complete demonic creature." Chongming said calmly.
Staying inside Xie Ling's body, he had experienced everything Xie Ling had been through. His heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, and the pain was indescribable.
But at the same time, he was still a bit confused.
He only saw the origin of the demonic energy on Xie Ling, but he didn't find out where the black energy on him came from.
Xie Ling let out a series of cold laughs. The veins on his cheeks bulged, and his fair face gradually turned red and purple. He clenched his fists and suddenly swung at them.
"So what if I'm a demonic creature? You hypocrites who talk about benevolence and morality all day long. What else can you do besides judging me from a high position?"
Chongming carried Yao Hua and gracefully dodged.
Where they had been standing, the demonic energy had smashed a huge pit, which showed how much Xie Ling wanted to kill them.
"Master, is he crazy?"
He wasn't this exaggerated just now. How did Xie Ling turn into this state in such a short time?
"The demonic energy has magnified the resentment in his heart." Chongming explained and waved out a spiritual power, which directly entered Xie Ling's forehead.
The turbid black mist gradually dissipated around Xie Ling. His evil red pupils gradually became clear. Although his face was haggard, it was very similar to the way he looked when he was with Xiu Xiu.
"I can only temporarily suppress the demonic energy on him for now. As for that black mist, I can't be sure what it is for the time being." Chongming frowned and carefully explained to Yao Hua.
Yao Hua nodded. Seeing that Xie Ling seemed to have calmed down, she dared to step forward. "Xie Ling, are you okay?"
When those beautiful heterochromatic eyes looked over, Yao Hua couldn't help but hold her breath.
"Who... are you?"
It turned out that the influence of demonic energy on a person was so great. Yao Hua sighed in her heart. Just now, this person had been shouting to kill her and wished to cut her into pieces. Now, even his tone of speaking had changed.
No wonder the other realms regarded the demonic race as a great enemy.
"Have you forgotten everything that happened before?" Yao Hua asked tentatively.
Xie Ling showed a thoughtful look. Then, his face became uglier and uglier.
Yao Hua guessed that he should have remembered all the things he had done.
"I..."
Just as Xie Ling started to speak, his hair quickly turned gray.
