Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 118: The Burning Star Demonic Lotus
"Dead... The leader is dead... The leader is dead!"
After the three deputy leaders died one after another, the strongest and highest leader of the Black Demon Mercenary Group fled in fear, and was easily killed by Yun Che while fleeing. The Black Demon Mercenaries who lost their backbone were all terrified and lost their minds. Looking at the young man standing next to the Black Demon's corpse with a calm face, all their fighting spirits turned into endless panic and fear.
In the short dead silence, the flames gradually went out. Yun Che walked forward slowly with a cold face. As he walked, the Black Demon Mercenary closest to Yun Che shrank his eyes, and then suddenly let out a strange cry and fled backwards desperately. His actions also immediately awakened all the Black Demon Mercenaries, who fled in fear and no longer cared about anything else.
"Want to leave?" Their escape did not make Yun Che feel relieved. Instead, a cold murderous aura flashed in his eyes. His profound power surged under his feet, and he flew up. In a few breaths, he had already chased the fleeing team of the Black Demon Mercenaries... If these Black Demon Mercenaries fled separately, he would be helpless, but he killed four of their leaders in a row, and these Black Demon Mercenaries developed a huge fear of him, and all subconsciously fled in the opposite direction of where he and he had just stood. And that direction was also the only exit of the back mountain.
Behind the fleeing team, Yun Che jumped forward high, and after reaching the highest point, another Star God Fragment moved sideways and reached the top of the team. The Tiger Soul Sword pointed downwards, and a blazing flame ignited on the sword body. The golden phoenix mark on his forehead released a scorching golden light.
"Burning... Star... Demon... Lotus!!"
With a low hum, Yun Che's body was on fire and he fell down suddenly.
Boom! ! ! !
The raging flames exploded from the place where Yun Che landed. The madly released profound energy turned into phoenix flames and spread out layer by layer, instantly covering the surrounding area of more than 20 feet, and ruthlessly swept all the black magic mercenaries into it. From the air, it was as if a gorgeous and incomparable flaming lotus was blooming in the center of Yun Che, but each petal was burning with deadly phoenix flames.
Countless screams rang out in the huge fire lotus, as miserable as the cries from the Nine Nether Hell. But the Burning Star Demon Lotus did not show mercy because of this, and continued to bloom mercilessly, with layers of flames gradually blooming into larger and larger blazing fire lotuses.
Lan Xueruo, who was standing not far away, was completely stunned. Although she was not very old, she had seen too many masters, including high-level earthly profound realm masters, and even super masters of the sky profound realm. But she had never seen anyone who could release the fire-type profound art so gorgeously, including the Burning Heaven Sect, which had the strongest fire-type profound art in the Blue Wind Empire.
It was even more unbelievable that such a blow came from Yun Che... a boy who was only sixteen years old!
"The first level of the Entry Profound Realm defeated the tenth level of the Entry Profound Realm... crossing a major realm in a month... The tenth level of the Entry Profound Realm killed four True Profound Realm Profound Masters in a row... My feeling did not deceive me, he must be the person I have been looking for." Lan Xueruo stared blankly at the front and murmured softly.
The flame lotus had bloomed to its maximum, but the screams in it had become smaller. Through the layers of flames, Lan Xueruo could vaguely see figures desperately rolling in the flames. She turned her head away, and a deep sense of pity rose in her heart. At this time, she saw Yun Che dragging the Tiger Soul Sword in the flames, looking tired and walking out with heavy steps. His clothes were already tattered, and the bloodstains on them were burned black in the fire lotus.
"Junior Brother Yun!" Lan Xueruo exclaimed, and hurriedly went to meet him, but stopped when she was about to get close to Yun Che, and for a moment she was even more afraid to move forward. Because Yun Che at this moment made her feel strange... His sudden increase in strength was secondary. When he killed three deputy captains and slaughtered those black magic mercenaries before, every move was fatal without a trace of mercy. With one fire lotus, he killed more than 70 black magic mercenaries... He slaughtered hundreds of people without changing his expression in the blink of an eye. He was obviously only a 16-year-old boy, but he had such a devilish mentality.
"Senior sister, I'm a little tired... Help me." Yun Che's steps were weak and his body was shaking. When he spoke, his body softened and he almost fell. "Burning Star Demon Lotus" is a phoenix fire skill included in the sixth level of "Phoenix Ode to the World". Its killing power is not as good as Phoenix Wing Sky Dance, but it has an extremely terrifying large-scale burning ability. Phoenix Wing Sky Dance must be launched in mid-air, while Burning Star Demon Lotus can bloom in any state and any direction, but it is also accompanied by huge consumption. Two Phoenix Wing Sky Dances, one Burning Star Demon Lotus, plus the continuation of the evil spirit state, made his profound power almost completely depleted in this short period of time.
Lan Xueruo hurriedly stepped forward to support Yun Che, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Junior Brother Yun, have you... killed many people before?"
Yun Che was silent at first, then slowly nodded: "I have killed... many, many, far more than you can imagine." He looked at the fire lotus behind him that was gradually shrinking, and said: "Senior Sister, do you think I am cruel and shouldn't kill those who are no longer attacking us but simply want to escape?"
Lan Xueruo did not speak, silently agreeing.
Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo and said: "Senior sister, I have said before that your temperament is too soft and kind, but these words are not my praise for senior sister, but a sigh... Senior sister should feel It's obvious that these evil people all have more or less violent energy in their bodies. They are all people who have killed people, and most of the people they killed should be good people who were robbed and attacked by them. These evil people should have died long ago and deserved to die. . Before they trapped us in the trial place for more than a month, if I hadn't passed the Phoenix trial, it would have been impossible for me and my senior sister to escape, and the entire Phoenix clan would have been exterminated. I killed them, Not too much at all.”
Lan Xueruo shook her lips slightly, looked at the extinguishing fire lotus, and said in an erratic voice: "Since I was a child, my master has taught me to be kind, gentle to others, and loving all living beings... There is indeed evil in their bodies, But after all, they are all living beings. They have just thrown away their weapons and fled, so they are no longer a threat to us. Why...can't we let them go?"
"They are a group of extremely vicious people. If we let them go today, they may kill others tomorrow, and they may be many, many people." Yun Che said sternly: "Killing them will save many innocent people. People are saved. Of course, good people and innocent people cannot be killed. But killing these evil people is not a sin, but letting them go is the real sin!
Lan Xueruo: "..."
"Brother Yun, you really did it...that's great, that's great!!"
At this time, Feng Baichuan held Feng Zuer, who was still unconscious, and walked over with everyone from the Phoenix family. Everyone was excited, with tears in their eyes. They looked at Yun Che with eager eyes, as if they were looking at gods. .
When Yun Che killed the black demon, the sealing formation at the entrance of the cave was opened by Feng Baichuan, and what they saw next made them extremely excited and shocked. Many of the old men even kept muttering, "This must be the messenger sent by the Phoenix God to save us. The Phoenix God has never forgotten us..."
Yun Che glanced at the pale Feng Zuer in Feng Baichuan's arms, and said quickly: "Clan Chief Feng, all the evildoers have been eliminated. Quickly take Zuer and the others home to find some clean water to drink, but don't eat right away... …Go quickly, the situation of these children is very dangerous, we will talk about other things later.”
"Okay!" Feng Baichuan nodded, and then he and the others quickly ran towards the entrance of the valley with the unconscious children. When they passed the burning place of the fire lotus, they all suddenly stopped and looked ahead with wary expressions. .
As the fire lotus extinguished, two pale-faced Black Demon mercenaries appeared slumped on the ground. Most of their clothes had been singed and they had many burns on their bodies, but most of them were minor burns. They were on the edge of the Star-Burning Demonic Lotus just now. They were not really affected by the Fire Lotus, but were just swept away by the aftermath. The reason why they are slumped on the ground now is not because they were seriously injured, but because they were hit by that The huge fire lotus was so frightening that my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand up for a long time. When they saw Feng Baichuan and others coming in front of them, their eyes suddenly widened and they retreated hastily like frightened birds.
"There are actually fish that have slipped through the net!" Yun Che looked shocked, quickly put the Tiger Soul Sword in Lan Xueruo's hand, and said quickly: "Senior sister, I am short of profound strength now and can't do anything. Go and kill those two people quickly." Personally, we must not let them run away!”
She subconsciously took the Tiger Soul Sword, but Lan Xueruo stood there without making any move. After her eyes wandered for a while, she shook her head and said: "I have never killed anyone, and I don't want to kill anyone. If they survive, they can be considered as theirs." The whole group is wiped out, they have no destination, and they have been punished after experiencing the shock just now... Just let them go, and they should no longer exist. I won’t do evil again.”
"No!!" Yun Che shook his head with great determination, "Being soft-hearted and cutting the grass without eradicating the roots is always the biggest taboo when facing the enemy! If you don't kill them, there may be unforeseen serious consequences. Hurry up. Move on!"
Yun Che's words were urgent and harsh, completely different from his usual gentleness when facing Lan Xueruo. Lan Xueruo moved her lips and took two steps forward, but stopped again. She could not lift the Tiger Soul Sword no matter what. Finally, she sighed silently and said to the two surviving black devil mercenaries: "You go. Don't be evil again, otherwise, I will not be lenient if I encounter you next time!"
Lan Xueruo's words made the two black devil mercenaries who were paralyzed on the ground wake up from their dreams. They quickly got up from the ground... but they did not turn around and escape as Lan Xueruo thought, but suddenly their eyes darkened and they pounced. Towards Feng Baichuan.
"Clan Chief Feng, be careful!" Yun Che's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly.
But Yun Che's shout was too late. The black devil mercenary had already rushed in front of Feng Baichuan, who was caught off guard. With his profound strength at the sixth level of the Nascent Realm, Feng Baichuan could not resist it. He immediately attacked Feng Baichuan. He knocked Feng Zuer away from him and snatched Feng Zuer from his hand. His right hand formed a hook and pinched Feng Zuer's neck. A ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Don't even come here, back away! Back away! Otherwise... I'll snap his neck immediately!"
"Zu'er...Zu'er!" Feng Baichuan shouted loudly after being knocked down.
Lan Xueruo's expression changed drastically and she said anxiously: "You...you evil thief! I kindly let you go, but you did such a despicable and shameless act! Let Zuer go immediately!"
“Hey!” The Black Magic Mercenary sneered: “We, the Black Magic Mercenary Group, spent a huge price to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. How can I be willing to leave when the whole group was destroyed for a treasure! Hand over your treasure to me immediately! Otherwise, I will strangle this bastard to death! I know very well that this is the son of your clan leader! I want to see which of your treasures is more important, or the life of this little bastard! If you don’t hand it over... I don’t want to live anyway, and it’s not a loss to be able to drag someone down with me and see you crying before I die, hahahaha!”
Lan Xueruo clenched her fists, her face pale with anger. Yun Che's calm and cold voice came from her side: "Senior sister, this is the result of your hesitation, softness, and kindness. You mercifully let the two evil men go, but handed Zu'er's life to them. Is this the result you want to see?"
"I...I..."
"And, even if they don't do this, after they escape from here, what do you think they are most likely to do? They will spread the news that there is a mysterious village and the so-called "treasure" hidden here. At that time, I don't know how many powerful forces and sects will be alarmed to come to "search for treasure" ', then, the Phoenix survivors will face a crisis that is many times greater than this one, and even everyone will be slaughtered because of it. "
Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo, and every word was like a needle, piercing her heart: "I killed people, hundreds of evil people, but I avenged countless people who were harmed by them, and saved countless people who might be harmed by them in the future. You didn't kill anyone, and you mercifully let two evil people go, but more than 200 innocent people here, from the elderly to children, will all die tragically because of this... Is this what you understand as kindness and fraternity?"
