Chapter 909 - Evil God's Killing Intent
"Aaaahh!!!"
"Somebody! Kill me! End this pain!"
"Help me! Mommy!"
Hundreds of cultivators screamed like their lives depended on it, almost as though they were being tortured.
It didn't matter if they were Spirit Grandmasters or stone-cold killers— none of them were spared.
The only ones that could barely maintain their sanity were those at Spirit Lord and above.
"W-What is going on?" Li Jinxi looked at the chaos around them with a terrified face.
"Have they gone mad? Did Yuan do this to them?" Chu Liuxiang swallowed nervously.
Of course, the only ones that weren't affected by the Evil God's killing intent were Meixiu and the others.
"This killing intent reminds me of our training at the Qi Family but countless times stronger…" Meixiu mumbled in a dazed voice as she stared at Yuan's figure from behind.
'What happened to you, Yuan?' Meixiu sighed inwardly, feeling worried about Yuan's condition.
Eventually, the red mist released by Yuan covered a distance of 10miles, and all greenery within his miasma would die, turning the scenery into that of something similar to an apocalypse.
The magical beasts and animals all ran for their lives, and those that weren't fast enough to escape the miasma would fall unconscious with their longevity slowly being consumed by their intense fear.
The cultivators with the Gu Family eventually started harming themselves and those around them.
They scratched their faces until it was covered in blood. Some of them even dug out their own eyeballs.
The scene was becoming more and more gruesome with every passing second.
After snapping out of her daze, Feng Yuxiang created a wall of flame around Meixiu and the others so they wouldn't be able to see the scene any longer.
Patriarch Gu also snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Everyone! Stop him! We cannot allow this to go on any further!"
All of the Spirit Lords that were still sane immediately began throwing everything they had at Yuan.
Although they were all scared to death and wanted to turn around and run, nobody there dared to turn their backs to Yuan.
"Disappear from my sight." Yuan muttered in a cold voice when he noticed their movements.
There were a total of 13 Spirit Lords in the Gu Family, so Yuan created 12 clones of the Starry Abyss and attacked them with Flying Dagger.
Despite their small size, the Starry Abyss pierced through the air with tremendous force that could easily crush even a peak Spirit Lord.
Like 13 shooting stars, the Starry Abyss soared through the sky until they reached their targets.
"Ah!"
More screams resounded as 10 out of 13 Spirit Lords perished from Yuan's Mortal-rank technique.
As for the remaining three Spirit Lords, they were barely able to escape with their lives, but none of them managed to escape unharmed, and two of them were even crippled in the process.
"Impossible… How can a single person possess such power? He's only a Spirit Lord, too!" Patriarch Gu exclaimed.
'It's over… I have offended a monster that we couldn't afford to offend… And for what…? For those idiots in the Lower Heaven?'
Patriarch Gu lost all desire to retaliate and just hovered in the air with a blank look on his face. He'd completely given up.
"Young Master, please have mercy!" A voice suddenly resounded.
Patriarch Gu subconsciously turned to the sound.
"Gu Xiulan…? What are you doing here?" He asked her.
However, Gu Xiulan ignored Patriarch Gu and flew past him until she was in front of Yuan.
She immediately kowtowed in the air and begged, "Please! Have mercy! This is all caused by a misunderstanding!"
"A misunderstanding, you say?" Yuan narrowed his eyes at her.
"Yes! Our Gu Family is at fault here! We will bear all responsibility for what happened here today!" She said.
Yuan suddenly felt someone tugging his clothes from behind.
He turned around to see Xiao Hua. She had her head lowered, almost as though she was too afraid to look at him, and her petite body was shivering uncontrollably.
"B-Brother Yuan… Xiao Hua is afraid…" She mumbled in a low voice.
Yuan's eyes widened, and he immediately stopped releasing the Evil God's killing intent. However, the red miasma continued to linger for a while before slowly disappearing.
He placed his hand on her head and sighed, "I'm sorry, Xiao Hua. I lost control of my emotions just now and scared you."
Xiao Hua lifted her head to see a gentle smile on his face.
She wiped the tears around her eyes and smiled, "It's okay."
Yuan nodded, and he proceeded to look at the chaos he's caused with his killing intent alone.
Even though the miasma was quickly clearing, the cultivators from the Gu Family weren't calming down, and they continued to harm each other.
Yuan turned to look at Gu Xiulan and Patriarch Gu. Their faces were pale white, and Patriarch Gu looked especially bad, almost as though he'd painted his face with white paint.
"I won't apologize for what happened here today. If you'd given me a chance to explain myself without threatening harm to my friends, things wouldn't have gotten this bad."
"I-I deeply apologize for my behavior and rashness. Please, spare my Gu Family. I was the one who spoke about harming your friends. Take my life and spare the others."
Yuan narrowed his eyes at Patriarch Gu and silently pondered.
"Just like the Gu Family from the Lower Heavens, I will give you a chance. Because of your Gu Family, my friends have suffered greatly today, and Xiao Hua even shed tears. I demand compensation. Leave behind all of your treasures and scram. If you walk from this place with even a single treasure on your body, I will finish what I started."
"Thank you for your mercy!" Patriarch Gu wasted no time taking out all of his spatial rings and storage pouches before handing them to Yuan.
"You don't need to give me anything." Yuan said to Gu Xiulan, who was also taking out her treasures.
"Thank you." Gu Xiulan bowed to him.
