"There's nothing I can do. I didn't expect things to go out of control like this and end up in such a mess. This should've been done before the altar. I should've taken medicine to recuperate and drink the forbidden water to eliminate the rejection … I should've also used the twelve rare spiritual medicines as a supplement, and I should've been protected by powerful experts. At least twelve people would've continued to inject mystical Qi into me … But now, there's nothing else. I can only take the risk and complete this on my own. "
"I can't care about anything else now. The backlash caused by different God's Bones being inserted into a person's body will turn him into a wandering ghost forever. Once he dies, he'll never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. I'll bear all of this alone …"
"Don't accuse me of wronging all of you … The pain I'm suffering now is far greater than all of you dying in one swift stroke. My sacrifice is much more than you can imagine. "
"In the end … I have no other choice. If I don't take this step, I can only watch as I lose everything."
Mr. Nian's eyes glimmered with a faint gleam. Another slash. This time, it was his thigh that was cut open. He repeated the same process of removing the bone and changing the bone. There was almost no pause.
The fire burned brightly as the corpses of the Four Seasons Tower's men slowly disappeared. Countless corpses were convulsing and contorting from the heat, no longer in human form. They were completely consumed by the flames, no longer existing …
The fire flickered as if there were pairs of eyes watching Mr. Nian from the dark.
It was hard to tell if they were angry or hateful.
Under the illumination of the fire, Mr. Nian was already covered in blood, but he was still cutting himself again and again, digging out his bones piece by piece and embedding God's Bones into his own body.
His face grew paler.
The excessive loss of blood caused his body, which was already not in a good condition, to become even weaker.
In spite of this, his gaze grew fiercer and his expression more menacing …
…
Early morning.
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi walked out side by side, their expressions unusually grim.
"Leave Mr. Nian and the other seasonal messengers to me for today's battle." Yun Yang said slowly, "You'll be responsible for holding off the others. Come back to support me after they're done with. We'll definitely win this battle."
Ji Lingxi nodded slowly. "Alright. Don't worry. Even if I can't win quickly, I can at least guarantee that none of them will make it. "
"Today's battle will settle all grudges and worldly affairs!"
…
Amidst the silence, the thick fog floated around as if it was tangible, almost within reach.
Somehow, Mr. Nian was already standing in front of the Temple of Nine Supremes.
He was still wearing the same green robes as before, but his face was abnormally pale, and the look in his eyes was like that of a hungry wolf. He was indescribably ferocious and bloodthirsty, no longer as magnanimous and graceful as before.
Yun Yang asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are your subordinates? "
"They've all gone down to wait for you. I won't let them wait too long," Mr. Nian said darkly.
Yun Yang squinted his eyes and said mockingly, "Indeed, it is as I have guessed. Mr. Nian, the Four Seasons Tower's master is indeed ruthless and venomous. This is what it means to be a formidable character."
The ghostly fire in Mr. Nian's eyes flickered. "What is it?"
"When you came to collect the corpses yesterday, I guessed that you wanted to gather all the God's bones together. Then, you would gather them on one person and unleash the power of the God's Bones to the maximum. Only then would you be able to fight both of us. "
Yun Yang said coldly, "Other than that, I can't think of any other tricks you could use to turn the tables."
"Right now, the truth has proven that my guess is correct. Mr. Nian, the Four Seasons Tower is now completely destroyed in your hands!" Yun Yang looked up mockingly. "From the beginning, you sent your men to be killed, to now, you've killed all your subordinates yourself … The Four Seasons Tower finally no longer exists. And my biggest goal has finally been achieved. "
"Your wish has been achieved? If you were to die today, would that be considered a death without regrets?" Mr. Nian stood with his arms behind his back, staring at Yun Yang maliciously.
"The feeling of dying without regrets is only meaningful to the loser. It has nothing to do with me." Yun Yang smiled gently.
"Before the final battle, I would like to know why you still gave me the four pieces of God's Bones, since you know my real purpose of collecting them?" Mr. Nian asked curiously.
This was what he was most puzzled about.
Even if Yun Yang had seen through his true intention and wanted to use him to kill the others, there was no need for him to hand over the four pieces of God's Bones. He did not even have to reject the three corpses. No matter what, he would still kill the few lucky survivors and obtain their God's Bones to fight the final battle.
"Because I'm afraid that your collection isn't complete." Yun Yang smiled. "If the collection isn't complete, I'm afraid you won't activate the plan. Although the chances aren't great, I never bet on what if. If you really don't activate this plan, I really can't be sure if the Four Seasons Tower has anyone left, or how many. "
"But as long as you start the plan, once you do it, you'll have to do it. Then your men will be killed by you. I don't even have to worry about it! "
"Because you will definitely kill them all."
"If that's the case, the four pieces of God's bones that I've given to facilitate and confirm this situation are clearly worth it!"
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Of course, the main reason is that I've mastered my mystical skill. I'm eager to see the Four Seasons Tower's greatest counterattack."
"If I don't let you use it in the final battle, I think you'll be very … dissatisfied, and die with regrets!" Yun Yang smiled.
"As the opponent I want to kill the most, I'm more than happy to give you the chance to kill all your men and destroy the Four Seasons Tower's legacy to facilitate this!"
Mr. Nian chuckled coldly. "Yun Yang, do you know that I've heard about how someone dug his own grave? I've always thought that the negative examples in the martial world were fabricated, that they were nothing more than falsehoods in novels. How could there be such a stupid superior in this world?"
"Today, however, I believe that it's all true. Because there's such a person standing in front of me, a person who's called Supreme Wit."
"Supreme Wit, who's renowned for his stratagems, is actually nothing more than an arrogant, narrow-minded person deep down in his bones!"
Mr. Nian's smile was icy as he said cruelly, "Now, I'm very happy because I'm going to leave such a legend for the martial world. I'm honored to leave my name in the martial world's history like this."
Yun Yang was smiling proudly, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "You've asked me a question. Now, I'd like to ask you one too, Mr. Nian.
May I ask, how did it feel to kill your brothers of thousands of years with your own hands last night? After that, I personally cut open my body bit by bit and dug out my own bones piece by piece. How does it feel? Does it feel good? "
