"I … hate him!" Red appeared in the eyes of the green-robed woman whose neck was seized by Su Ming. She glared at Su Ming, then suddenly started laughing shrilly.
That laughter was filled with resentment, along with a deep hatred.
Su Ming frowned. Purple lightning immediately erupted from his right hand and spread through the entire body of the green-robed woman.
As cracking sounds echoed in the air, the green-robed woman's body looked as if a layer of her skin had fallen off as the purple lightning enveloped her, revealing her true appearance.
She had a face that was as ferocious as that of a malicious spirit. Her hair was a mess, and her body was covered in scars. There was also a mark of the peacock at the center of her brows, but this mark was different from the others in that it was not an illusion. Instead, it was formed by nine fine green feathers stuck at the center of her brows.
"He was indeed injured. The fact that you came here and asked for the feathers proves that he was heavily injured!
"My plan succeeded. He might not have come here personally, but you came here in his place. That's enough!" The woman's expression was forlorn, but a brilliant light shone in her bloodshot eyes. However, at that moment, she looked as if she had gone mad.
"Three," Su Ming said flatly. He did not bother with the woman's fierce voice echoing in the air. At the instant he said three, purple lightning roared on his right hand, and a presence that could destroy all lives instantly gathered together. At that moment, it was as if he only needed a single thought to kill the woman before him.
"I asked my sword servant to send the feathers to Western Ring Nebula's foreign land. If you kill Dao Ren, I will tell you the entire truth and give you all the feathers I have!" the green-robed woman immediately shouted.
At the instant she said those words, a loud bang came from Su Ming's right hand. The woman's voice immediately turned into a muffled groan. Once Su Ming let go, she coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. As she staggered backwards, Su Ming's cold voice traveled into her ears.
"I am not a sword in your hands. You can use me to kill for you." Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung it at the woman in green. Immediately, an endless amount of Divine Essence Runic Symbols appeared on her body and covered her like a seal.
"You don't have the right to threaten me with this and make me help you … but since you provided me with a clue, I can help you once, but you will have to pay the price for helping me." As Su Ming spoke flatly, he lifted his right index finger and tapped the center of the woman's brows.
Instantly, the azure-robed woman's body began to tremble violently. She immediately sensed that the finger on her forehead was like a vortex that was rapidly devouring her life force. In the blink of an eye, 3,000 years of her lifespan had been lost. Although the woman was ugly, it was clear that she had aged. For the first time, fear could be seen in her eyes.
"I know Kong Mo, and he also knows me. You're his friend, so you should …" The green-robed woman felt her life force slipping away, and she immediately began to speak in a hoarse voice.
"He's my friend, but you're not." A barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Once he absorbed another 2,000 years of her lifespan, he lifted his finger and left the center of the woman's brows. He did not have any thoughts of loving her because of her. In Su Ming's mind, a friend could be any kind of person, and a friend's friend had nothing to do with him.
When the woman said Kong Mo's name at that moment, it was clear that she was … referring to the bald crane.
Su Ming turned around, and his dark and cold gaze fell on Dao Ren, who was surrounded by flames. He had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. There was some sort of secret contained within, and based on the woman's words and expression, Su Ming had a rough idea of what was going on.
Dao Ren's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that Wu Li Zi would want to kill him, but this was not the time for him to be thinking about it. Almost at the instant Su Ming's gaze landed on him, Dao Ren retreated swiftly, intending to escape regardless of the cost.
His heart was filled with anxiety, shock, and fear. At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to escape. He had to escape at all costs, and a powerful resentment towards Wu Li Zi also rose in the depths of his heart.
At that moment, the entire Taia Planet shuddered. A vast will seemed to be about to descend from beyond the planet. This was the sign that Su Ming's envelopment over this place was about to be broken.
Su Ming lifted his head and cast a glance at the sky. His expression was as calm as ever, and at the instant Dao Ren retreated, he lifted his right hand and pointed at him.
That one finger seemed to be able to decide life and death, change laws, and overturn the power of laws. As booming sounds rang in the air, before Dao Ren had even retreated several hundreds of feet away, the purple lightning around him closed in with loud rumbles and instantly gathered on his body.
Booming sounds continued without end. Dao Ren roared, and the mark of the candle flame at the center of his brows shone. In an instant, the flames around him burned even stronger to fight against the purple lightning.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! As the purple lightning gathered together, Dao Ren coughed up blood and staggered backwards. All the flames around him instantly shattered, and the purple lightning closed in on him once again, about to destroy him.
"Lord True General, save me!" Dao Ren let out a shrill cry of despair. The mark of the candle flame at the center of his brows crumbled at that instant. As it shattered into pieces, Dao Ren's body looked as if it had turned into a candle, and his soul and life seemed to have turned into fire.
From the distance, he no longer looked like a cultivator, but had instead turned … into a burning candle flame!
The purple lightning covered the area and instantly crashed into the candle flame. As booming sounds surged into the sky, Su Ming suddenly walked out of thin air beyond the candle flame. He lifted his right hand, and time seemed to be contained in his palm. It was a divine ability formed from the five thousand years of the woman in green's life, and he seized the candle flame.
"This flame should be extinguished." At the instant Su Ming said those words flatly, the candle flame was instantly extinguished. As wisps of green smoke drifted into the air, Dao Ren's life was extinguished as well.
This was one of Ecang's Origin divine abilities - Disaster for All Living.
"Now, you can speak." Su Ming turned around and looked at the woman in green coldly.
The woman's face was pale, and she looked much older than before. This was not the slow passage of five thousand years, but time that had been sucked away in an instant, which was why she could not immediately maintain her original appearance.
"Giving away the feather was my plan, and it was also … Huo Zhu's tacit consent.
"My goal was to lure Kong Mo here. If he saw the feather, then with his personality, he would definitely come. If he came, then he would have fallen into the trap Huo Zhu and I had set up!
"But I am innocent. If I did not do this, then I would have lived the rest of my life in a state that was neither a person nor a ghost. This was not my wish. All of this was forced upon me by him and Huo Zhu.
"True General Huo Zhu obtained a small part of Kong Mo's physical body from somewhere and used it to train herself. She even fused Kong Mo's blood feather into my body in an attempt to discover Kong Mo's secret.
"I was powerless to fight back and could only endure it quietly, which is how I ended up like this. But Huo Zhu promised me that once she succeeded, she would return me my freedom.
"She wanted to devour Kong Mo's soul, and she was the mastermind behind all of this. She even sent her will down on Dao Ren's body to monitor me. "The feather you want is at the center of my brows. There are a total of nine Verdant Beginnings Feathers, and all of them are here, but this is just a part of all the verdant feathers. The rest are with Huo Zhu. If you want to obtain all of them, then you must kill Huo Zhu!
You've already destroyed her will and killed her messenger. Even if Kong Mo doesn't exist between you and her, there's already enmity between you and her. Kill her and you'll be able to obtain everything you want. "
"Kill her, and you will also be free." As Su Ming spoke calmly, he lifted his right hand and swung it forward. The woman in green immediately screamed in pain, and the nine feathers at the center of her brows flew out to land on Su Ming's hand. Suddenly, the sky rumbled, the ground trembled, and several great wills descended.
The strongest among these wills could practically cover the entire sky. As it descended, a sigh echoed in all directions.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you do this? This … is not a place where you can come and go as you please." The world rumbled. At the instant the wills descended, Su Ming lifted his head. A freezing glare shone in his eyes, along with a powerful fighting spirit.
Su Ming had yet to bring out his full power when he came to the barren grounds of True Sacred Yin World. He had only brought out a portion of his Ecang clone's strength, but this portion of his power had already allowed Su Ming to gain a deeper understanding of just how powerful this clone of his was.
When he recalled how he had narrowly escaped death when he Possessed Su Ming's body, all of it was worth it once he witnessed just how powerful his Ecang clone was.
"A clone that can change my fate," Su Ming mumbled and put away the feather in his hand. As Su Ming mumbled, he put away the feather in his hand. When he lifted his head, the instant the old will's divine thought reverberated in the air, all the purple lightning within an area of one hundred thousand lis around him rose from the ground with a bang and charged towards the wills in the sky.
There were six wills in total. The weakest among them was in Solar Kalpa Realm, and the strongest … was the Master of Fate, Lives, and Death who could stir up Su Ming's fighting spirit.
'With them around, it'll be impossible for me to head to the main camp and search for Huo Zhu, or else … with my clone's power, I won't be able to leave.' Su Ming sighed in his heart. It was not that he did not want to take the gamble, but he had already reached a dead end. If he continued taking the gamble, he would not have any chance of winning.
Besides, once he sank deep into this place, it would be impossible for Su Ming's Ecang clone to escape from the mysterious and unfathomable forces of power from the four Great True Worlds keeping a lookout over the barren lands.
After all, only about thirty something breaths had passed since Su Ming arrived in this place, but these powerful warriors had already appeared. If more time passed, then even more powerful people would appear.
'But this person isn't a true Master of Fate, Lives, and Death either. He's only an approximate Master of Fate, Lives, and Death.' At the instant the purple lightning on the ground and the will in the sky crashed into each other, Su Ming took a step forward and turned into the strongest bolt of purple lightning. He swept up lightning in all directions, and booming sounds shook the sky and earth.
From the distance, the purple lightning formed a vague outline of a big tree. The lightning was the branch, and Su Ming was the trunk. It swept up the sky, and when it crashed violently against the will of the sky, a loud sound that surged into the sky reverberated in the air. As the entire planet trembled, the purple lightning crumbled, and the incoming wills were forced to scatter.
This caused Su Ming to rush out of space and leave Taia Planet to appear in the galaxy.
