Chapter 221: I Understand
Boom!
A deafening roar suddenly echoed outside the underground treasury, littered with corpses and mess.
A crimson storm descended from the heavens.
—[Wind Sweeps the Remaining Clouds], charging forward!
In this moment of unleashing all of his strength, Tang Qian’s figure seemed to transform into a torrential and raging blood wind.
Everywhere he passed, walls, tables, corpses, and puddles of blood were as if swept by an invisible plow, shattered to pieces, turned into dust.
Blood flames danced around his fierce and violent face.
At this moment, his gaze swept across the tragic scene within the chamber, unable to hide his concern and fury as he bellowed, “Don’t be afraid, foster father! I’m here to help you!!!”
In that instant, the transformed Si Duo was nearly moved to tears.
Every eye in his entire being, glowing with malicious light, misted over with joy and consolation.
Who would have thought, who would have thought, Smith, you useless glutton, always consuming and shitting, looking like a worthless sack of rice, still running around trying to annoy everyone, and even irritating me to the core, that if it weren't for the money spent, I might have kicked you out or sent you forward to fill the lines.
But he never expected to discover in their time of peril, true friendship would reveal itself; in a crisis, one could see the true heart!
At the moment of his own dire straits, it was actually he who risked his life to rescue…
Even though he looked rough and unsightly, in truth, he was a man of delicate sentiment, one who would repay debts of kindness and enmity in kind.
He remembered every meal owed and regarded him as a father?!
Amidst the blending of emotions, feelings of confusion and unease dissipated.
Si Duo was suddenly filled with unparalleled courage!
His raised arm resembled a withered tree, and mutated limbs thrust suddenly forward, piercing through a randomly appearing whirlpool.
Following the opening of another whirlpool, they stabbed forth from behind Tong Shan, splitting, hardening, dropping poison.
The transformations granted by the white pavilion all came to fruition!
Si Duo laughed heartily, “Good boy, I misunderstood you, today we shall…”
Bang!
The blood wind howled fiercely, rushing past Tong Shan, then the heavy sword cleaved into Si Duo’s skull, splitting from the top of his head down to his chest, leaving behind a shattered expression of disbelief.
“You… you…”
“What do you mean, you? Little demonic clown, dare to harm my foster father, you deserve a thousand deaths!” Tang Qian glared, roaring in fury, “Today I will grant you a most miserable death, an utterly cruel death, a death beyond human comprehension!!!”
Then, he transformed again into a four-armed figure as two brand new arms stretched out from behind, wielding a great axe and a piercing sword.
Spear, heavy sword, flail, iron hammer, piercing sword, great axe.
Six arms unfurled, and a variety of weapons were drawn, clamoring to strike down.
Piercing, cleaving, pounding, heavy smashing…
The sound of crisp cracking filled the air.
In that instant of collapsing flesh mash, horrifying cries erupted from gaping mouths, screams of rage, cursing, until finally, the remaining bloodshot eyes shed tears of crimson wrath.
“I want you all to die!!!!”
Si Duo shouted, no longer maintaining his fragile human form, countless blood-rooted bone threads erupted from the flesh mash, taking root in the ground, violently extracting blood and death, massive corrupted pollution was instantly consumed.
Then, a vague human form began to grow from the roots, with thousands of branches resembling arms, piercing through space, continuously breaking through the literal barriers of ‘emptiness.’
Without any forewarning, it was as if he appeared from nowhere.
Unknowingly merged with some vile bloodline, the already resilient life force coursed through him now, bursting with incredible vitality.
The ground split apart, roots growing out, blooming like flowers but with disarrayed organs and tumors lurking within the buds, thick blood dripped.
Poison spread, roots entwined, beginning to thirstily absorb all blood and life upon contact.
The large treasury had now metamorphosed into some bizarre ecological demonic realm.
—This was the rebirth state he had obtained from beneath the whirlpool!
Tong Shan had lifted into the air, telekinesis surged like a tide, sweeping away the branches that had sprouted and sealing in the poisonous gas.
Under pure gravitational pressure, tree trunks splintered and crumbled yet were reborn, ultimately, in just a few seconds, after adaptation, iron-like branches shot towards the sky, breaking free from the ground!
A thick shell akin to tree bark continued to multiply, grow, repelling abuse.
Tang Qian stomped on the twisted flowers and grasses without care, throwing back his head and howling:
“Old Deng, get out here!”
Instantly, a withered face appeared from his shoulder, yawning with a lackluster demeanor: “Ah Qian, what now…”
“Shut up!”
Tang Qian shoved a gold coin into his mouth.
Old Deng was taken aback, his remaining few teeth clamping down, feeling the familiar texture, murky eyes suddenly lit up.
Real goods!
It was actually the real thing!
Rare find!
In his dim eyes, a fierce light suddenly erupted as his fourth great-uncle swallowed the coin with a cheerful shout: “Score!!!”
On Ashura's shoulders, wrinkles and age spots instantly covered his arms, shriveled and withered, yet the vigor and ferocity surpassed before by who knows how much.
In his hand, the originally unremarkable spear instantly became fissured.
Beneath the cracks, thick, scarlet blood silently seeped out, dripping down like tears from the spear's tip.
From the reflection of that weeping blood, on Tang Qian's shoulder, the head of his fourth great-uncle surfaced, sharp serrated teeth began to grow from his decayed gums.
Tilting his head, he glanced at Si Duo, a mocking smile crossing his face as he changed the way he addressed him: “Good grandson, this time I attack while you defend?”
“Why can't I be the one attacking!” Tang Qian retorted, “I spent the money!”
“That’s exactly why you should…”
His fourth great-uncle chuckled gleefully: “Grandpa is very strong, you know.”
In that moment, without any movements or signs, a crimson tide surged upwards, rushing forth from the slight tremor of the spear’s tip, as the ground shattered, countless flora instantly annihilated.
The surviving vitality converged into a stream of light consumed in its entirety by his fourth great-uncle.
The bizarre giant tree formed from the mutated Si Duo suddenly split open a crevice, slanting upward, severing half of its branches.
Then, with a sweeping motion of the spear, it cut across.
Bisecting it!
Not only Si Duo and Tong Shan, even Tang Qian froze in place.
“What the hell, Old Deng, you never…”
“What the hell were you burning before?” His fourth great-uncle looked sideways: “You play tricks on ghosts, and you cannot allow ghosts to play tricks on you? Moreover, this is a coronation commemorative coin issued in the first year of the Emperor; how could it be the same!”
“Hurry up! I found a big water pipe! Money is ample, gold coins are limitless!”
“Why didn’t you say it earlier!”
Fourth great-uncle was ignited!
…
When Ji Jue and the others finally arrived after clearing the area, Si Duo was already on the verge of running out of breath.
As an esteemed grantor of the white pavilion, possessing boundless vitality, he was now broken and scattered, half of his body crawling, struggling painfully.
“Foster father, sit tight and watch me go!”
Tang Qian, covered in sweat and smelling like a beast, gestured excitedly, not wanting Tong Shan to feel that the money spent wasn’t worth it, “I’m going to perform a Chin-style decapitation for you; it’s so thrilling! Blood can spray three meters high!”
Pfft!
The heavy sword descended, a dog’s head flew up, blood splattered two and a half meters.
Just half a meter short.
Humiliated in front of the financier, Tang Qian instantly exploded in anger, stamping down on Si Duo’s regenerating dog head, crushing it, then crushing it again.
“Smith, you bastard… may you die an unspeakable death!”
Si Duo wailed, cursing, crying, ultimately, resolutely, the final vestiges of his life surged forth like an angry torrent: “You all must die, must die, each and every one must die!!!”
In that instant, blood tears gushed from the crimson eyes embedded in the fragments of flesh.
Using all his life as a sacrifice, he made up for the final deficit.
The altar thundered, trembling.
The roar spread from the void, formless forces intertwined, transforming into a whirlpool, summoning all previous sacrifices and offerings, brazenly breaking through great distances and barriers.
In the reckless and cost-ignoring summoning, the corrupted and mutated spiritual essence erupted like a volcanic eruption, spreading, instantly turning the entire treasury into a demonic domain.
And amidst the tide of encroaching darkness, a solemn wheel of bones slowly ascended.
The magic eye overlooked everything.
With the rotation of the bone wheel, the entire bank seemed to be on the verge of collapse, precariously balanced.
After repeated urging and calls, the upper-ranking evil finally appeared in the world beneath the forceful hint, showcasing its divine might!
—The Wheel King had arrived!
“Ha, hahaha, hahahahaha…”
The broken Si Duo laughed madly, weeping blood as he knelt: “With my soul as an offering, no, with the souls of all living and dying here as a sacrifice, the supreme Wheel Sovereign, I earnestly request you to show your might!”
In that brief silence, no sound emerged from anyone.
At the forefront, the dazed Tang Qian was already drenched in sweat.
Having swayed for so long without any movement, he thought the Wheel King had chickened out, yet unexpectedly, Si Duo, that bastard, still possessed a method of forced summoning.
And judging by this display…
There was no weakening, no suppression, and no incompleteness.
—That was truly an upper-ranking evil!
“Hiss…”
In his instinctive gasp for breath, his expression twitched as he turned back, looking at Tong Shan, forcefully mustering a smile even uglier than tears: “Boss, uh… this, might not be easy to deal with.”
Tong Shan stood ready, having no time to chat with him.
The banner in his hand trembled ceaselessly, devouring telekinesis, brewing a thunderous strike.
A deathly struggle.
But in this overly prolonged silence, the Wheel King did not move at all, did not move!
It was as if awakening from a dream, confusedly gazing at the scene before him.
At the center of the bone wheel, an eye containing boundless evil sights observed the sacrificial site, ultimately locking onto Ji Jue, who had just entered.
At once, its expression shifted dramatically, vividly displaying: impatience, displeasure, anger, suspicion, shock, leading to…
A fleeting moment of fear before uncontrollably erupting into furious rage!!!
At this very moment, just like back then.
It was the same call of the corrupted cult, the same altar of sacrifice, the same prompts, the same flattery, and false praises.
The same scarred-faced little ghost, and his hands holding the same bell…
And a dog-like creature with a face full of piety, yet hoping to rain down gold coins from his own corpse!!!
In that instant, He finally understood.
He understood it all!
You cursed corrupted cult members…
—Once wasn’t enough, you all still wanted to plunder again, right!
Dark thunder rumbled, the bone wheel revolved, echoing with thrumming rage.
In that moment, He unhesitatingly converged all his strength, glaring light bursting forth from the evil eye, intertwining in mid-air, transforming into an enormous hand, crashing down!
Toward… the frenzied and delightfully delirious Si Duo.
The shadow surged, expanded, engulfing.
Finally, it completely swallowed that stiffened face.
“Wait…”
Wait for you? Go die!
Boom!
