The years I was in the human world

"Why do you look a little disappointed?" Gongsun Wuyin emerged from the ground, glanced at Xiao Fengzhuo's body on the ground, turned to ask Kongque.

"This so-called god is a little too weak." Peacock shrugged, "In terms of cultivation and wisdom, he is not as good as my junior uncle."

"Ha, is that so." Gongsun Wuyin smiled, he turned his head to look at the large group of ghost energy that enveloped Qinghe, and then looked in the direction of the ghost den boundary, "Your junior uncle is outside saving those mortals now, he is also very powerful, so much ghost energy, he really asked him to clean it up."

"Junior Master is here too?" Peacock turned her head to look at Yan Gui with a frown. She had developed a heart of stone along the way, but when facing the Junior Master who had depended on her for decades, she still felt soft-hearted.

She didn't want him to see her like this. If such a decent person saw what she had done, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Wei Ruge was unable to learn the ruthless way of sealing the heart and locking up love, so in the past few years he returned to the way of all living beings. He was extremely talented and had great perseverance, and he made rapid progress when he started over again. However, he changed paths so many times that he had hidden injuries inside. Once he started a war or got angry, he would vomit blood.

"Why would I lie to you?" Gongsun Wuyin chuckled and paused. He was used to observing people's expressions and noticed Kong Que's thoughts at a glance. "Why, are you still afraid of him?"

"Why would I be afraid of him?" Kong Que was unwilling to admit, "It's just that my uncle really loved me. He's not in good health, and the ghosts have deep resentment. I'm afraid of hurting him."

"Didn't these two treat you sincerely? You're not soft-hearted." Gongsun Wuyin pointed at Xiao Fengzhuo on the ground and Lu Zhouxue in the blood ball, leaving no room for Kong Que. "You are tolerant and partial to your junior uncle only because you love him. Why do you have to make such a high-sounding statement?"

"Do you think you understand now?" Peacock stared at Gongsun Wuyin with cold eyes, as if he was going to break his neck in the next second.

"You are not someone who would consider favors. I know how selfish and despicable you are in your bones." Gongsun Wuyin was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "Why don't you admit it? Love and desire are human nature. Isn't it because of love that I stand with you?"

"Yes, I love him, but in his eyes, I am cruel and bloodthirsty, and I will do anything to achieve my goal. He said he was extremely disappointed. What can I do?" Peacock sighed, as if he was helpless. "What do you think he will scold me for when he comes this time?"

"I don't know what your junior uncle will scold you for, but the person you are talking about should be Axue. He will only stab you with one sword." The person who should have been dead sat up from the ground without any warning. Xiao Fengzhuo picked up the heart that was taken out by Peacock and put it back into the chest cavity, looking at her with a playful expression.

"You—" Peacock turned her head to look at Xiao Fengzhuo who had returned from the dead. She frowned because she was surprised, but soon she smiled again, "It's more powerful than I thought. After all, he is a god. If he really died so easily, it would be too ridiculous."

"You're right." Xiao Fengzhuo looked up into Kong Que's eyes and smiled. Then the next moment, the cold light of the Xiao Han Knife reflected on her face. Kong Que was frightened and quickly dodged. She landed in the distance and stared at Xiao Fengzhuo in doubt. Compared with before, his speed was much faster.

"What are you doing--" Kong Que couldn't finish her sentence. Xiao Fengzhuo's knife caught up with her again. She had to hold the Zhaoyang Sword across her body to barely block it. The collision of the sharp weapons made a crisp roar. Kong Que felt her hands were numb from the shock. Facing Xiao Fengzhuo's attack, she had a hard time dealing with it.

"Can't handle it?" Xiao Fengzhuo chuckled, and the scimitar in his hand pressed down on Kong Que's Zhaoyang Sword and cut towards her neck. Kong Que gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted at Gongsun Wuyin beside her: "What are you still standing there for?"

Gongsun Wuyin's five fingers formed into claws upon hearing this, and the sharp nails shone coldly in the night. Xiao Fengzhuo sensed the murderous intent behind him, and with one palm he pushed away Kongque, then turned around and blocked Yangui's claws with a knife. The powerful knife energy cut off Yangui's nails, and finally landed on his chest, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone...

Peacock, covered in blood, clumsily chopped off the head of Xiao Fengzhuo, who was entangled by Gongsun Wuyin and could not move. After doing all this, she let go of the sword in her hand and rolled to the side, lying down. She tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Almost, just almost, it was her who died. She lay on the ground, looking at the dark sky, and thought with lingering fear, if Gongsun Wuyin hadn't stopped Xiao Fengzhuo at the critical moment, she would have failed at his hands today. Fortunately, she was safe -

Before Kong Que could let go of her worries, the corpse beside her started moving again. Her face lost all color in an instant. She turned her head in horror, only to see Xiao Fengzhuo coming back to life again. The headless corpse stood up from the ground, picked up the severed head and put it back on its shoulder.

The broken neck healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao Fengzhuo, with blood still on his face, gave a cruel smile to the paper-white Peacock. Then a terrifying pressure descended like a mountain - he became stronger again.

"...Why haven't you died yet?!" Peacock couldn't stand it anymore. She collapsed and shouted, with hysterical despair in her tone.

As soon as Lu Zhouxue broke free from the blood ball, he heard what Kong Que said. He looked at Kong Que and Yan Gui, who had lost their ability to move, and turned to ask Xiao Fengzhuo who was connecting him, "What happened? Why is she like this?"

"Nothing, probably because he failed at the last minute and went crazy." The instigator pretended to be innocent. He rubbed against Lu Zhouxue, put his head on the latter's shoulder, and sighed softly, "Mianmian, I'm tired."

Even without Xiao Fengzhuo saying anything, Lu Zhouxue could guess that it was him who did it. Seeing him acting so clingy and coquettish, Lu Zhouxue didn't say anything. She raised her hand and touched the other's head on her shoulder, coaxing him softly, "Then you take a rest for a while, I'll go help Qinghe, okay?"

Xiao Fengzhuo rubbed his head in Lu Zhouxue's palm and shook his head, "No, I'll go with you."

They thought it was because of the intervention of the Heavenly Dao. The ghost fog that surrounded Qinghe was much more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. The magic power of the two people was poured into it, but not only did it fail to dispel the black fog, but the surrounding ghost energy tended to gather here.

"Azhuo, this ghost fog does not contain ghost energy, but evil energy." Lu Zhouxue noticed something strange and quickly withdrew his magic power, his face turned ugly.

"There is a formation in the ghost fog. I don't know what is placed in the center of the formation. It is continuously releasing evil energy. If this goes on, Qinghe will be devoured." Xiao Fengzhuo's expression was also very serious. Things had exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that Tiandao would risk attracting evil energy into the formation in order to kill Qinghe.

The innate gods are not like the acquired gods who rely solely on human faith to survive. They are eternal and lasting along with the heaven, earth, sun and moon. There is only one factor that can lead to their decline and destruction - evil spirits.

"The Moon-Slaying Sword is placed at the center of the formation." Lu Zhouxue said. He was struck by a sword when he fell from the God Realm a hundred years ago. After the Moon-Slaying Sword killed its master, it was tainted with evil spirits. After ten thousand years of exposure, it has now become an evil object that everyone in the God Realm is afraid of. Who would have thought that Peacock would get it? "The Moon-Slaying Sword only recognizes Xiao Yueheng. Now if you and I want to break the formation, we have to destroy the sword."

"Don't waste your energy." Peacock sat up. She was at the end of her rope, but she was too calm. She looked at the two people who were trying their best to disperse the black fog, and said sneer, "The Moon-Slaying Sword is so vicious that even the Heavenly Dao is powerless. How can you destroy it just because you want to?"

No one paid attention to her. Kong Que was not angry either. She just kept talking to herself, "I have killed many people. This road is not easy to walk. Even if I plan for a hundred years with the help of the Heavenly Dao, I still can't shake you. You won, but I didn't lose. At least my mother will wake up in Xia Si's body."

As soon as Kong Que finished speaking, the evil energy in the black fog suddenly surged, and the expanded formation swallowed up the three of them. Then the formation changed and actually recreated the scene of the Dongshan Massacre that year, with the same evil spirits surrounding them and the same isolation and helplessness. Qinghe's situation was exactly the same as Yu Zhao's back then.

The next moment, a swarm of evil spirits pounced towards Qinghe, and the figure of the green-clothed female priestess was swallowed up in an instant. Then, the cry of a phoenix resounded through the sky. The fiery red phoenix broke through the encirclement of tens of thousands of evil spirits and spread its wings. Finally, it landed steadily on the ground and turned into a woman in red.

"Mother... Mother!" After a century of long-cherished wish was fulfilled, Peacock looked at the figure he had been thinking about day and night and choked with sobs, and then tears rolled down. Perhaps because she had just been resurrected, the woman in red seemed a little slow to react, and did not respond to Peacock's words.

But Peacock didn't care about these tiny details. She endured the pain from the wounds on her body and staggered towards the woman in red like a bird returning to its nest.

Lu Zhouxue looked at the thick evil aura lingering around the woman in red and slowly frowned. Xiao Fengzhuo said beside him, "Mianmian, do you think that was the resurrected Red Phoenix, or was it an evil spirit that grew up with Qinghe as its foundation because of Kongque's obsession?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Lu Zhouxue said, and he raised the Sad Wind Sword and killed the evil ghosts that submerged Qinghe. Whether Kong Que lived or died had nothing to do with him. The magical aura of the gods in the evil ghost group had not dissipated yet, and he had to save Qinghe first. Seeing this, Xiao Fengzhuo also joined the battlefield with the Smiling Cold Knife.

However, the peacock was left unattended for a while. Just when she was about to pounce on the woman in red, a young man suddenly rushed in from the chaotic formation. He just glanced at her casually and stopped the peacock from pounce on the woman in red: "If you don't want to become a ghost, stay away from it."

"Junior-Master?" Kong Que was pulled unexpectedly. She looked up and was stunned. She was surprised that "Wei Ruge" looked as young as he did two hundred years ago. She couldn't help but ask, "Junior-Master, why are you..."

Xiao Jin didn't pay attention to what Peacock said. He gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hand and threw it at the woman in red. Peacock saw that he was going to kill his mother who he had finally resurrected, so he pounced on Xiao Jin and knocked his hand off. The blow missed the woman in red's body and landed somewhere else.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Jin looked back and frowned at the peacock that fell to the ground. He was not very clear about the twists and turns happening in the world, nor did he care. He appeared here just to solve the mess created by the Moon-Slaying Sword. The woman in red was an evil spirit born from the evil energy of the Moon-Slaying Sword, so naturally she had to be eliminated as well.

"What does Junior Master want to do? Kill mother?" Kong Que sat on the ground and asked back. She felt so sad. Her beloved Junior Master didn't understand her and stopped her. Now he wanted to destroy her hard work. "We used to have the same ideals, but why do you want to stop me now?"

"You're crazy." Xiao Jin was not Wei Ruge, so he was too lazy to care about what kind of unwillingness and pain contained in Kong Que's words. Seeing that Kong Que was stubborn, he gave up the idea of ​​explaining. It was just an evil spirit. Kill it and the problem would be solved.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin cast a spell to immobilize Peacock to prevent her from causing trouble again, and then he gathered magic power in his palm once again, as if he wanted to completely destroy the resurrected "Zhu Huang".

"I offer my body, my bones and my spirit as a sacrifice, and pray to the Lord to grant me the power to fulfill my long-cherished wish!"

Heaven once offered Kong Que a condition: if she sacrificed herself and allowed Heaven to drive her, Heaven would give her supreme power as a reward. She refused because she didn't want to be controlled by others. But now she was at her wit's end. Seeing that her mother, who had been resurrected with great difficulty, was going to be reduced to ashes at the hands of Xiao Jin, she finally compromised.

As soon as the lyrics of the soul sacrifice were finished, Kong Que instantly felt a surge of power flowing into her limbs and bones. She grasped the Zhaoyang Sword again. She thought, this time it was a real fight to the death: "Little Master, you shouldn't have stopped me."

The last bit of affection she had for Wei Ruge was completely gone, and the sword that Kong Que stabbed at Xiao Jin was filled with murderous intent. However, as soon as they started fighting, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. It turned out that Xiao Jin was more ruthless and merciless than her. His sword moves fell like thunder, clean and neat.

With the help of the Heavenly Dao, Peacock and Xiao Jin fought for nearly a hundred rounds and were still evenly matched, but she became more and more frightened as the fight went on. The swordsmanship of the Merciless Dao was very different from that of the All-Mortal Dao. The All-Mortal Dao wielded the sword to protect the common people, while the Merciless Dao wielded the sword to kill demons and evil spirits.

The former is about protection, while the latter is about killing. As the fight deepens, the murderous intent in Xiao Jin's sword moves becomes apparent. Peacock gradually discovers that the murderous intent of the "young master uncle" in front of him seems to be too strong.

"You are the Merciless Dao?!" It was not until he saw Xiao Jin using the Luocheng Sword Technique that Kong Que finally confirmed his guess and was horrified. "Who are you?"

"You exchanged your soul for power. Hasn't Heaven told you who I am?" Xiao Jin broke Peacock's defense with a sword. The long sword pierced through Peacock's shoulder and nailed her to the ground. Then the spiritual energy penetrated Peacock's dantian, completely destroying her possibility of rising again. The outcome of this fight between the two was already decided.

"Impossible, impossible..." Peacock looked at her hands with broken knuckles and blood flowing in despair and unwillingness. She couldn't believe that she had lost. Seeing Xiao Jin turning around and walking towards the woman in red, she suddenly roared, "Why?"
