Chapter 096: A City of Splendor, Just For You (Jinxiu City)

     Liu Feizhou’s entire body is ice-cold, his fists are clenched tightly.

     His impulsiveness has hurt the people closest to him.

     Had he kept on hiding, at least the people he cares about the most would not have come to harm.

     He could just be a proper villain. He has already witnessed a town full of people die once, what’s a few hundred thousand more? He’s killed dozens of people with his own hands alone, why pretend to be a good man!

    It wouldn't matter if he just continues to be evil. But it was the sunlight that broke through his heart, starkly illuminating the viciousness and silt within it that he was finally able to see clearly. It shook him, made him regret.

     But now, he regrets it even more.

     Liu Feizhou sees no hope and no way out. He remembers what Wang Ningxi said before, that she wanted to go out.

     She can't survive alone, she can only die with her relatives and friends. The next instant, he sees an incoming slash, and sees that Bai Chengyu is unable to defend against it. Liu Feizhou rushes over and stands in front of Bai Chengyu.

     But the light from that knife does not land on him. A red ribbon blocks right before him, then goes to wrap around the blade.

     They only hear a woman’s sneering voice say: "I have my fair share of massacred cities, and countless people have died in my hands. That’s because I am on the Demonic Path. Xuan Qi, you’re on the high and mighty Righteous Path, yet you have slaughtered several hundred thousands of people, and you have the gall to call yourself Righteous?"

     Xuan Qi didn't expect that the Jade Maiden would come out, and to even speak of his identity.

     He soars to a high altitude and shows himself. Looking down at the insects in the city below, he snorts: "As long as I put you to death, I can justify my means!"

     "The question of whether you have that ability still remains." The Jade Maiden easily swats Liu Feizhou with a palm, sending him falling. She then snatches his Storage device, and forcibly erases his Divine Sense from it.

     This immediately sends a backlash to Liu Feizhou's primordial spirit, and his face loses all color. He could barely hold himself up, but he struggles and moves to Su Tingyun's side to help her up.

     Su Tingyun's cultivation is only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and she has aimed her sword at the opponent's blade. And now the blood and vitality in her entire body is gossamer thin. He holds her up and fishes for some Pills to put into her mouth, but finds that his stash of bottles has been robbed by the female demon.

   The demonic cultivator doesn’t even look to see what the Pills are, and just pours all of Liu Feizhou’s Pills into her own mouth.

     "Granny."

     Liu Feizhou never cries.

     Back then, when he crawled out of the corpse pile, he wore a crazed smile. He was bullied all the time when he was weak, suffered all kinds of humiliation, but he merely hid the fire in his eyes behind a cold smile.

     But because of his mistake, Granny suffered such heavy injuries that her breath has gotten so weak. Tears gather in Liu Feizhou's eyes. He never even said sorry. Earlier, he just sneered when he offended Su Tingyun, and had Bai Chengyu apologize instead.

     Now, his lips tremble, and he murmurs, "I'm sorry."

     A teardrop slides down and lands on Su Tingyun.

     In reality, Su Tingyun's current condition is not as dire as Liu Feizhou thinks. Her jade ring usually keeps its abilities a secret, but whenever her life is in mortal danger, a cool air flows from it, nourishing her limbs and bones, and healing her internal injuries.

     But she is hurt so badly that her awareness has become hazy.

     Liu Feizhou's tears bring Su Tingyun back to consciousness, and she sees him cry. She hears him apologize.

     Feeling guilty and regretful, Liu Feizhou watches as Su Tingyun’s finger twitches a little, and she only says, "I have no regrets.”

     Su Tingyun was not the one who rushed out first.

     Compared to them, she just looks like a coward. However, she has no regrets. If she has seventy percent certainty and doesn't do it, she will regret and suffer for it in the future. Unless one can completely discard their morality and become the most vicious of people, this massacre will always haunt their memories, and torture their conscience.

     It just so happened that they were all unlucky, and so Liu Feizhou is not to blame.

     The battle between the demonic cultivator and Xuan Qi continues.
