Destiny is ashes

Chapter 133: The Soul Burner (33, thanks to Alliance Leader Zhen Xinghe!)
The dying warrior's breath subsided and his heart calmed down.

Then, Instructor Li slowly told the truth: "The evil demon was indeed severely damaged... Among the people who came to hunt you down, there was a martial arts master, who defeated the evil demon head-on."

"But that evil demon also has a trump card. It is a split demon of a certain great demon. When it was about to be defeated, it borrowed the power of the original body. Master was careless and was ambushed, and even half of his body was devoured by it. But how could the master of my Divine Religion be killed so easily by the demon? Before Master Shu died, he also unleashed his magical powers and severely damaged the demon."

"Right now, the evil demon is hunting beasts and mountain people in the surrounding area, devouring their lives and souls to recover from its injuries... If I must say, it is still much stronger than inner breath warriors like you and me, but compared to the beginning, it has been weakened a lot."

"If you really have a trump card, maybe you can really defeat it."

"Finally...An Jing."

"This is the 'Hou Tu Fu Shen Hun Yuan Yang Ti Fa' that was originally supposed to be given to you after the ceremony."

Veins spread out, and it was obvious that Instructor Li was not going to live long. He pulled out a book that he kept close to his body from his bosom with his shaking one arm, "Even if you killed the owner of the manor and Old Xu and the others, I would not hate you. How could I not know that the Divine Religion is cruel? Killing people is like killing animals, refining people is like refining oil. We who can do such things and eat blood pills are animals."

"You are still young, it is natural for you to hate. I just don't dare to hate, I don't have the energy to hate... I can only hate secretly..."

"I hate this world."

"If you hate this world, take it... You will need it."

The teacher raised his hand with great effort and held up the book.

An Jing believed that if he didn't take it, in a few moments, Instructor Li would lose his last strength and the book would fall into the pool of blood and black mud on the mountain road.

An Jing can also use this opportunity to sever the connection between him and the Tianyi Demon Cult.

But An Jing is never afraid of entanglement.

He made a choice that was consistent with his character.

"It's not just because I hate this world, it's also because I need this power."

An Jing took the book with his left hand, held it in his right hand, and pressed the blood-slaying sword against the neck of the demon-filled Instructor Li: "Xu...what's the name of that scholar in white?"

The young warrior had many questions to ask, but in the end, he just sighed and asked the last question: "Also, why did you... join the Tianyi Sect?"

"Xu... Changjing."

After trying hard to utter the last three words, Instructor Li no longer had the strength to reply.

But after hearing An Jing's last question, his remaining thoughts flickered and flowed, going back to many, many years ago when he was abducted from the county town by human gangs and sold as a servant to a wealthy family in the country.

Hard work, beatings, insults, and contempt. No words can describe the despair of being trampled into the dust... For hundreds and thousands of nights, he fantasized that his parents and the government could rescue him and help him escape this ugly cage.

And one day, he who had originally accepted his fate heard a familiar voice. It was the voice of his parents, calling his nickname. After being stunned, trembling and ecstatic, he wanted to climb over the wall to escape, but he heard screams while doing so, and the familiar voice never sounded again.

After a while, someone from the government came and heard the rich man's righteous words.

"Just now two human traffickers came and tried to kidnap my child. They were discovered by the servants, and they got so excited that they accidentally beat them to death... You see, is it okay?"

"Hey, Mr. Huang, you've done a great deed. Human traffickers should be punished by everyone..."

Dead. All dead.

When the parents who were looking for their child came to a remote village, they were mistaken for human traffickers and beaten to death, and there was no evidence left.

How stupid! Don't they know that in a village like this where slaves are bought, the whole village must be in the same group? In a place like this, it's too easy for them to kill people and silence them!

Why did you come to me...why do I still want to be saved?

At that time, he just wanted to die. No one in Dachen's government office had ever cared about these little details. Maybe they were in the same group from the beginning?

I can't remember the details, but eventually, Li Xiang escaped from the cage, fled into the mountains, and became a "refugee".

In a daze, he sold himself and became a member of the "devil's cult", and then step by step became a "devil" who "burned, killed, looted, ravaged the countryside", and massacred the entire Huang family.

The cult of God eats people? Of course he understands, but at least the cult of God bought his life, even though it was cheap, even though it took advantage of someone in distress, even though it deceived him... but the cult of God gave him power!

As long as he is given the chance for revenge, he will be eaten clearly and willingly!

And those serfs, domestic servants, those who were driven to death by harsh taxes, corvee labor and heavy burdens...

Aren't all their flesh and blood also eaten up, along with their descendants? !

It was such a man who, when he saw An Jing, who depended on his mother for survival and even sold himself to save his mother, his originally hard-hearted heart was slightly moved, and then he offered an extraordinary price.

At the end of his life, Instructor Li raised his head, and his eyes, which were about to be completely blackened by the devil, stared at An Jing.

——An Jing, I have killed countless people and committed many evil deeds. It is only natural for you to kill me! I have no resentment or hatred, and I am even relieved! But if I can...

——Go and chop off the heads of those other cannibals!

Dark red blood spurted out, and Instructor Li’s head fell.

His body instantly decayed and turned into black water flowing all over the ground.

Before he was completely possessed by the devil, An Jing cut off his head.

Even without words, An Jing could still understand the other party's resentment and relief.

Some people live simply because they have no reason to die. If they had the chance to set the world on fire, they would burn.

But An Jing is different. An Jing can choose wealth, he can choose achievement, he can choose to join a faction, become a member of a faction, become a pillar of a faction, a god general and a genius. He does not need to join the devil sect to have power.

He chose to burn, to ignite his own soul, not the blood of others.

So An Jing responded to him.

"I will, and no one will be exempted, including myself."

Stepping over his body, An Jing waved his hand to disperse the bloody sword and continued walking towards the mountain village where smoke was already rising into the sky, which was now the hunting ground and lair of the evil demon.

near, near.

The road in the woods became wider and wider, and the shadow of the village wall in front could be vaguely seen. An Jing smelled a sour odor like vomit mixed with gastric juice.

A charred land and burning village ruins appeared before his eyes.

This was originally a peaceful and tranquil country village, with scattered fences and mud-stone walls protecting the scattered vegetable fields, and paths running through the entire village like blood vessels.

Today, the village is full of broken walls and ruins, traces of fighting are everywhere, everything is shrouded in black smoke, and scattered corpses and remains are lying on the roadside and in the houses, outlined by the flickering firelight.

The vision keeps rising and rising.

Until he could overlook this completely destroyed mountain village, until he could see at the edge of the village, an evil monster with broken wings and one leg sleeping in a shack made of bones and debris.

The drone's buzzing sounded in the air, then became sharper due to acceleration.

Then, it turned into an eagle and let out a shrill cry, then it fell straight down from the sky and swooped down!
