The small snake's change caused Nan Gong Hen's words to fall silent. He was momentarily stunned, then immediately turned his head around to look at the ferocious looking snake. Once he saw the sealed cave abode, a glint appeared in Nan Gong Hen's eyes.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes and his gaze fell on the sealed cave abode in the valley. The small snake on his shoulder hissed even louder, and the hatred in its eyes caused all those who saw it to feel apprehensive.
"That's senior Hei Ya's cave abode …" Nan Gong Hen whispered.
Su Ming remained calm. He lifted his right hand and seized at the air. Immediately, a wisp of green smoke appeared on his palm. As that wisp of smoke surrounded him, it turned into a faint shadow that looked as if it was being sucked into the cave abode. By the looks of it, that shadow was the old man in black robes who had set Su Ming up in the past!
Su Ming had extracted that wisp of green smoke from that person's divine sense when he was in the Undying and Imperishable World. He had intended to use it to search for that person in the world outside. Once he saw the small snake's abnormality, he fell into deep thought and brought out that wisp of green smoke to test it. Immediately, a chilling killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"So you're here!" Su Ming smiled coldly and took a step forward. The small snake on his shoulder also charged out and charged towards the sealed cave abode.
Almost the instant Su Ming took that step, a low growl came from within the sealed cave abode. The door to the cave abode exploded with a bang, and a black shadow flew out from within.
The moment the black shadow appeared, it immediately ran into the small snake. In a flash, the black shadow let out a muffled groan and cast some unknown divine ability, causing the small snake to freeze for a moment.
Taking advantage of this momentary pause, the black shadow was about to soar into the sky.
Su Ming let out a cold harrumph and took a step forward. His body disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in midair, right above the black shadow. The instant Su Ming lifted his right hand and pushed down, the black shadow let out a roar and lifted his right hand as well, crashing into Su Ming's palm through the air.
A loud bang rang in the air. Su Ming did not move, but the black shadow coughed out a huge mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Only at that moment did his appearance appear.
That black figure was dressed in a black robe, and he was naturally the old man in black robes who Su Ming wanted to kill. As he landed on the ground, the huge gust of wind stirred up, and the hood over his head fluttered, revealing a rotting face!
His appearance was extremely ugly. Most of his flesh and blood had already rotted, and there were even some places where his bones could be seen.
"Destiny!!" The old man let out a piercing screech and glared at Su Ming. He originally thought that he could avoid Su Ming's divine sense and not be discovered, but he had overlooked the small snake!
When he had seized the small snake to threaten the Candle Dragon and Su Ming in the past, it had seemed to be unconscious, but in truth, it was still conscious. It remembered the old man's presence deeply. That presence might only be a wisp of his divine sense, but once the small snake obtained the Candle Dragon's legacy, it was no longer the same as it was in the past. That was why it could use that presence to recognize the person hiding in the cave abode and avoiding Su Ming's divine sense!
"So what if you walked out of the Undying and Imperishable World? You can't escape Master's arrangements, you can't escape your Destiny!" The old man laughed ferociously. He knew that he was definitely going to die today, that was why before he came out, he had already swallowed a medicinal core. There was a 10% chance that the Curse would be broken, but there was a 90% chance that he would soon lose consciousness, his memories would crumble, and he would turn into an existence like a wild beast.
Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. He had originally been suspicious of the old man's origins, but now, he no longer had any doubts. This person was Di Tian's dog!
He walked forward and appeared before the old man in an instant. Madness appeared in the old man's eyes. He formed a seal with his hands and was just about to cast a divine ability, but his body was already incredibly weak. Before he could even cast that divine ability, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pushed it aside. He grabbed the black robe on the old man's body, and with one tug, the old man's black robe was completely torn off.
The black robe fell off, revealing the old man's thin and shriveled body. There was also a foul stench coming from a large area of decay.
"You're neither a human nor a ghost!" Su Ming immediately tapped the old man's chest with his right index finger. With that one tap, the old man shuddered and staggered a few steps back. Black blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
"It doesn't matter if I die. I have complete memories. What about you? Bring your incomplete memories and your confusion with you and walk down the path of your Destiny." The old man was so weak at that moment that he could not put up any sort of resistance before Su Ming, but his laughter continued echoing in the area with a hint of madness.
Su Ming did not speak. He took a few steps forward and lifted his right hand to tap the old man's chest again. Once he tapped a few times, wisps of black smoke instantly surged out of the old man's chest and charged towards his right arm, causing his entire right arm to look pitch black. It also started rapidly rotting away.
"Destiny! Your life is Destiny! I'll wait for you in hell!" The Curse in the old man's body completely erupted due to Su Ming's few taps. He roared in pain, looking as if he had gone mad.
Yet at the instant he roared, Su Ming moved and appeared next to the old man's right hand. He grabbed the old man's right arm, and like a blade, he cut down on it with his left hand. A cracking sound rang in the air, and the old man's black right arm was instantly separated from his body.
The sharp pain caused the old man to descend into even greater madness. Under the Curse, his Nascent Divinity could not leave his body, and he could not even self-destruct. At that moment, under that pain, his roars became even stronger.
"Master's clone will come at any moment. I'd like to see how you'll fight back then. Destiny, haha! In the end, you still have to walk down the path you should walk …" As he roared, Su Ming tapped a few more times on the old man's chest with his right index finger, causing his right arm to instantly turn pitch black. Then, Su Ming cut off his right arm once again.
The old man who had lost both his arms continued roaring in pain, and his malicious words continued tumbling out of his mouth.
"You might have walked out of the Undying and Imperishable World, but fifteen years have passed. Fifteen years … I can trap you for fifteen years, and that's enough!
"I will die for Master. With Master's divine abilities, once he perfects them, he will definitely be able to resurrect me. Why should I be afraid of death? But you're Destiny. You will never know just what your memories are, and just how many memories you're missing!" As the old man roared, his eyes gradually lost their intelligence, and he let out a roar that sounded like that of a wild beast.
As his body trembled, not only did the Curse erupt forth at full force, it also rapidly devoured his life force.
"Haha, I won't die by your hands, but by the Curse … I can be considered to have been freed! "But you'll never know where your sister is. You'll never know just how many mysteries you have. In the midst of your confusion, you'll sink into oblivion …" Before the old man could finish speaking, his eyes completely lost their luster, and he completely turned into a wild beast that had lost his intelligence.
"Death won't be that easy," Su Ming stated calmly. When the old man turned into a wild beast that had lost his divine sense, Su Ming straightened his right hand and pressed his palm against the old man's chest.
With that one push, black smoke rose from the old man's chest once again and charged towards his legs. Su Ming waved his arm, causing the old man's legs to immediately explode, and the Curse on his body started disappearing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
His Curse came from the Candle Dragon. Su Ming had been in the Undying and Imperishable World for an innumerable amount of years, and the small snake had also acknowledged him as its Master. Hence, his understanding and understanding towards the Curse Art was greatly different from before.
When he pressed down and lifted his head, the old man's dull and murky eyes gradually brightened up, as if his life force had been stimulated. However, as his eyes grew brighter, his intelligence gradually recovered, and he gradually saw his surroundings clearly, his expression instantly changed drastically.
He originally thought that he was already dead, but at that moment, he saw Su Ming saving him. This should have been something joyous, but to him, this was something even more terrifying than death!
He could already imagine what sort of punishment and pain he would have to go through once he was captured by Su Ming, now that he was no longer under the Curse and was in a weakened state. In fact, there was a high possibility that Su Ming would use all sorts of methods he could think of to continuously squeeze out all of his memories.
To him, this sort of thing was even more terrifying than death. He knew that if he had died just now, then he would have died for his Master, and he would still have a chance of being resurrected in the future. However, if Su Ming used some sort of method to learn everything from him, then he would truly die. Not only would his Master not resurrect him in the future, there was even a high possibility that he would drag down his family in the land of Immortals due to his anger!
"You … You …" The old man's heart trembled, and a monstrous terror appeared in his eyes. He could only watch as Su Ming tapped a few more spots on his body, and he could clearly feel that while he was still weak, the Curse on his body had mostly disappeared.
Over the past fifteen years, he had been struggling, afraid of death, but once he met Su Ming, he was no longer afraid. He wanted to die, but now that he discovered that he could not die, a fear that was even stronger than when he had been afraid of death rose within him.
It was especially so because of the words he had said to provoke Su Ming just now. They had become the source of his extreme terror.
The scene of Su Ming saving the old man in black fell into the eyes of the people around him. When Nan Gong Hen saw it, all of their hearts trembled, and a deep chill rose in their hearts towards what they saw.
Just what sort of hatred could make a person feel that even killing someone would not be enough to quench it, and that he would want to save his enemy?!
Just what sort of hatred could make a person think that death was not a release, and that living was the best release?!
Just what sort of determination could make a person do this? If he did not even allow death to happen, then just what sort of hell would be waiting for the old man in black robes?!
Nan Gong Hen looked at Su Ming, at him doing all these things with an apathetic and calm expression on his face. His heart turned cold, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
"Welcome back." When the old man's eyes regained clarity, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pressed it against the top of the old man's head. The power of his cultivation base surged into the old man's body, and once it sealed his entire body, he looked into the old man's eyes, which were filled with extreme terror, and mumbled softly, "Welcome back.
