Chapter 30: Blame that, inexplicable
Inside the uninhabited canyon, Sandstone woodland.
Jiang Mu, who was in a stealthy state, was hiding behind a boulder.
Secretly observing the the protagonist and the demon in the distant sand.
“Luckily, alright, Ling Aotian isn’t dead yet.”
Jiang Mu’s hanging heart finally let go.
He saw, Ling Aotian was being trapped by a bell-shaped sand cage, his face pale as he knelt on one knee, his clothes stained with blood and panting heavily.
It was obvious that he was badly injured, and outside the sand cage, was Sha Wuwen.
He had a human face, two black horns on his forehead, his body covered in black insect armor. His limbs slender and knob-like, and his eyes black and bulging out.
Sha Wuwen was also heavily injured.
The black insect armor on his body was in tatters. The horns on his forehead were half broken, and the small arm of his right hand was also broken off.
One can imagine how fierce the battle between the two had been earlier, and from this result, it seemed that it was Sha Wuwen who had won in the end.
Right now, he was sitting on the ground, absorbing the sand around him to recover from his injuries.
“Damn, this sandy ground, it’s clearly Sha Wuwen’s home turf.”
“This Ling Aotian bastard, he couldn’t have been blinded by hatred and didn’t even know that the Spirit Devouring Sand Worm Race was specialised in controlling sand, could he?”
Jiang Mu couldn’t help but complain a bit about this male protagonist.
But despite his complaints, he still had to find a way so that the plot could go on smoothly.
“Since the Black Water Fury is not around to give him Ling Aotian’s tactical assistance, he can’t defeat Sha Wuwen on his own.”
“Then, it’s only a matter of time before he’s trapped inside the sand cage and killed.”
“And the only thing I can do is to find a way to free him.”
“But how to do that?”
Jiang Mu could think of the only way.
Poison Explosion Pill!
He could sneak close to Sha Wuwen with the help of stealth, and then drop the Poison Explosion Pill.
When Sha Wuwen was poisoned, the sand cage would naturally lose its control and be undone.
At that time, the protagonist Aotian would get out of his trap and kill Sha Wuwen with his own hands.
Perfect! Jiang Mu immediately channeled the Poison Explosion Pill within his dantian.
And sneaked towards Sha Wuwen’s position.
***
Ling Aotian took a deep breath, exerted all his strength, and shouted indignantly.
“Master save me!”
“Don’t waste your energy, after shouting so many times, if your master wanted to appear, would have appeared long ago.”
Sha Wuwen grinned out a row of black sharp teeth and scoffed.
In fact, he was also afraid of the master that Ling Aotian had spoken of.
After all, before. It was Ling Ao Tian’s master who had blasted the mountain of his stronghold apart, blowing him out a hundred meters underground.
To be able to blow up a mountain, it would take at least a cultivator of the Void Refining Realm to do it!
Therefore, as soon as he was discovered, he immediately pretended to be seriously injured and desperately fled.
The result was unexpected, the one who caught up with him.
Surprisingly, Ling Aotian was the only one.
“Since your master didn’t come after you, then, having you hostage is of no use!”
Sha Wuwen sneered.
Originally, he had wanted to capture Ling Aotian and use him as a hostage so that he could stand a chance of staying alive.
Since Ling Aotian’s master had not appeared now, he no longer had any worries.
He decided to kill Ling Aotian and then flee back to the Southern Demon Region!
But before killing. He had to torture him properly to relieve the hatred of his stronghold being destroyed!
Sha Wuwen stood up and walked in front of Ling Aotian, grinning sarcastically as he said.
“Just by yourself, you presume to kill this Overlord?
“And you want to take revenge?
“One hundred and twenty-four lives of your Ling Village were slaughtered on the order of this Overlord.
“Now that your village’s exterminator is right in front of you, what can you do to me?”
Ling Aotian was unable to retort.
He could only use a murderous gaze, gnashing his teeth, to show his own anger.
Sha Wuwen snickered, and with a handful of seals, he made a sand cone spirit technique.
The sand on the ground converged into dozens of prismatic cones, “whoosh whoosh whoosh!” They shot at Ling Aotian in the sand cage.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Ling Aotian cried out in pain from the thrusts, and his clothes torn several more holes in his body, the holes dripping with blood.
“Hahahahaha!”
Sha Wuwen laughed maniacally, looking at the bloodied, battered Ling Aotian, his heart soothed beyond measure.
Suddenly, he said with a mean-looking smile.
“Might as well tell you one more secret.”
“There was a watery young girl called Ling San’er.”
“Before she died, she left her last words.”
“Do you want to know what those last words were?”
Ling San’er?
Ling Ao Tian’s heart ached.
That was the young girl who adored him, innocent, cute and dexterous, often following him and calling out “Brother Aotian”.
If he hadn’t gone out hunting all night that day.
Maybe …. He might have been able to …. Take the three Ling children with him…. Escape ….
“What were her last words!”
Ling Aotian’s red eyes stared deadly at Sha Wuwen.
He wanted to tear him to pieces!
“You want to know?”
Sha Wuwen whetted Ling Ao Tian’s curiosity for a moment.
“Tell me!!!”
Ling Aotian growled powerlessly.
“I would advise you not to know.”
Sha Wuwen clasped his ears.
This inattentive look made Ling Ao Tian’s jaw drop, and gnash his teeth, gnawing blood from his teeth as he spat out, word by word
“Tell, tell, me!!!”
Sha Wuwen admired Ling Aotian’s helpless and unbearable look with great pleasure for a while.
Only then did he leisurely approach the sand cage and look down on Ling Aotian from above.
He propped up his legs and pointed at his… Letting out a *laugh*.
“At that time, Ling three children were in this Overlord’s… gasping and screaming, and before she died, she cried out with pleasure: ‘Ao Tian, brother, the three children, want, *, to, oooh!'”
Boom!!!
Ling Aotian’s shirt burst open, his eyes red as if he were a vicious demon from hell, and he cried out in a tearful voice.
“Beast-!!!”
His hands frantically grabbed the sand cage.
The sand cage emitted a glow that absorbed the moisture from his arm, causing it to wither.
“Ah!!!”
Ling Aotian covered his arms in pain and collapsed backwards.
“Sure enough, you are a human race bound by emotions, easily angered by a few words, how foolish.”
“How can a lowly creature like you human race occupy this rich land of the Kyushu continent?”
“Only I, the Spirit Devouring Sand Worm Race, am qualified to rule the Kyushu Continent, and even the entire Cangling Realm! Hahahahaha!”
Sha Wuwen’s face showed a maniacal expression as he laughed out loud.
The sound of laughter spread with the wind and sand, resonating throughout the sandstone woodland.
This made Jiang Mu, who was already close behind him, speechless.
“Old Brother, don’t you know that villains die from talking too much? Is this the so-called descending wisdom? It seems that the author of this shitty book, doesn’t know how to portray villainous characters.”
While he mentally spat, Jiang Mu stretched out his palm and summoned the Poison Explosion Pill within his dantian.
Black energy burst out from his palm, and a pitch-black Poison Explosion Pill, half the size of his fist, hovered above his palm.
“Who is it!”
Sha Wuwen’s heart trembled as he immediately turned around and tensed up on guard.
He had just felt that an aura of death was coming from behind him.
But all he could see behind him was sand, and there was not a single human figure.
An hallucination?
He was slightly calmed.
However, the next moment. A black ball, half the size of a fist, appeared out of nowhere in front of his face.
On the surface of the black ball, there was also a strong poisonous aura, and it was reeking of death!
“What the …!”
BOOM!!!
The black ball exploded with a bang, submerging Sha Wuwen’s terrified screams.
The red and black poisonous mist instantly enveloped his entire body.
“Ah! This is …. Blood Poison Tree Demon’s poison! And …. Black Water Poison!!! Ah!!!”
Sha Wuwen painfully fell to the ground, crying out in a torn voice.
His body, his limbs, began to become twisted and paralyzed.
Finally, the whole man twitched!
The flesh all over his body slowly crumpled and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Blood and water, mixed with broken flesh, continued to drain out from the places where there were holes.
It only took a few moments.
Sha Wuwen’s entire body withered away and was stained red and black beneath him!
This abrupt and bloody scene.
Looking at Ling Aotian in the sand cage, his bones were horrified.
But more than that, it was ecstasy!
He could sense that Sha Wuwen had been struck by a strong black water poison!
Is it the Master?! Master has come to save me!!!
As if he had seen hope, Ling Aotian was trembling with excitement.
At the same time, he also saw that the sand cage trapping him dissipated with the fall of Sha Wuwen!
“I’ll kill you with my own hands!!!”
Ling Aotian immediately broke out into a frenzy of spiritual energy and jumped from his spot to mid-air.
He fiercely extended his right arm and let out a loud cry.
“Snake God Poisonous Water Fist!!!”
Raging demonic power wrapped around his arm, winding up a huge thick golden-pupiled black snake.
“Beast accept your fate!!!”
BANG!
The fierce fist struck Sha Wuwen’s back.
It pierced through his entire chest!
The huge golden-pupil black snake instantly penetrated Sha Wuwen’s body.
As the golden-pupil black snake contained black water poison and blood poison tree demon poison, this intensified the crumpling and collapse of Sha Wuwen’s body.
Eventually, his entire body went from twitching to shriveling up.
“Poof!”
Sha Wuwen, whose body was already crippled, spurted out a mouthful of black blood without any pain.
He was extremely remorseful in his heart. He should have known to run away directly after killing Ling Aotian right away.
But there was no medicine for regret in the world.
He knew that he would not survive.
So, hanging on by a breath, he was forced to cast the forbidden technique of the Spirit Devouring Sand Worm clan.
“Sand God Detachment!”
His head, which had actually detached from his body, turned into quicksand, and merged into the earth in the blink of an eye.
“Ling Aotian! This Overlord will never let you go!!!”
After dropping his merciless words, Sha Wuwen disappeared without a trace.
It looked like he was hanging on to his breath and fled.
“Bastard! I, Ling Aotian, swear! I will definitely slaughter you, the Spirit Devouring Sand Worm Clan, to death!!!”
Boundless anger and frustration echoed throughout the sandstone woodland.
Hearing this, Jiang Mu, who was behind a boulder in the distance, secretly cried out in celebration.
“Hoo! Good, this result, it’s in line with the original plot.”
“Damn, it’s all that bitch’s fault for being inexplicably crooked!”
“Crap? She actually climbed up from a 100-metre sinkhole? ”
Jiang Mu was horrified to see that the Black Water Fury with the body and snake tail was scurrying out of the forest with a face full of malice and reaching the spot where Ling Aotian was.
“Gotta hurry up and bounce ….”
Jiang Mu did not dare to stay, so he lifted his feet and left quietly.
“Damn, I’d better not go watch Ling Aotian’s fights from now on.”
“The Void Divine Concealment rewarded by the broken system can’t actually hide from the Black Water Fury’s divine sense ….”
***
“Master! Sha Wuwen has escaped!”
Ling Aotian pointed angrily at the headless corpse on the ground.
“Saw it.”
Black Water’s heart knew, and her pair of golden vertical pupils stared at the headless corpse on the ground.
It looked like Sha Wuwen had used the Spirit Devouring Sand Worm Clan’s forbidden technique, ‘Sand God Disembodied’, to turn his head into fine sand and blend into the earth.
He eventually escaped and returned to the Southern Frontier Demon Domain.
In other words, the plot was going well!
As expected of a male protagonist, even without the aid of her Black Water Fury’s tactical experience, he was able to turn the tables in the end.
“Well done!”
Black Water Fury was in a great mood and praised Ling Aotian on a rare occasion.
She was satisfied with the result.
However, in the next second, a cold and ruthless expression appeared on her face.
Jiang Mu, that son of a bitch!
When hunting season is over, this god will personally seek him out and chop off his legs!
***
“Ah-choo!”
Jiang Mu, who had already left the unoccupied canyon, suddenly sneezed.
“It’s a hot day, why did I sneeze.”
“Is someone thinking of me?”
“It can’t be Ding Nanrong.”
It was blood-curdling to imagine the image of Ding Nanrong looking for me.
Jiang Mu went to the edge of the stream and washed his face with the water.
Then found a shady spot and sat down.
He drew out his diary.
He planned to write in his diary and scold the Black Water Fury to vent his anger.
