Chapter 71: Madly Sprouting Killing Intent, Du Busi Appears
The night was as thick as ink, and the myriad lights of Star Luo City seemed like cold embellishments at this moment.
"Elder Xuan, speak!"
"Have I become the villain who wants to kill the great benefactor who saved the World?!"
Facing Lin Sheng's razor-sharp questioning...
Elder Xuan stood hunched in the shadows of the eaves.
His eyes, usually cloudy, were now bloodshot. His withered fingers trembled as they gripped the wine gourd at his waist, but he ultimately did not pull the stopper.
He truly could not find a reason to speak.
The blood and fire from six years ago was a deadlock, and the recent tragedy of the Shrek official team members was another...
These two deadlocks tightly strangled the throat of this Taotie Douluo.
"What, silent now?"
Lin Sheng took a step forward!
The tiles beneath his feet gave a faint groan.
The curl of his lips grew increasingly frigid, carrying a nearly pathological mockery: "Are you playing the victim?"
"Or are you waiting for someone to redeem you? Why didn't I see this compassionate look when you were leading the team?"
"Elder Xuan, your hypocritical self-reproach is truly pathetic, even... nauseating."
The moment the words fell, the aura around Lin Sheng completely went berserk!
"Boom—!"
"Sharingan, open!"
Lin Sheng's eyes snapped wide open.
His right eye and the Mangekyo Sharingan on his forehead simultaneously bloomed with an eerie and mournful red light.
His originally dormant level fifty-four Soul Power, catalyzed by hatred...
Actually crashed wildly through his Meridians like boiling lava.
The surrounding space began to vibrate violently.
It even produced a crisp sound like shattering glass.
Lin Sheng's hand tightly gripped his forehead. At that instant, only one thought remained in his mind.
Kill Elder Xuan!
"Elder Xuan, you are utterly ridiculous."
"Even if I pay an unbearable price, I will kill you."
The Pupillary Technique light blooming from Lin Sheng's Mangekyo Sharingan became increasingly terrifying.
Even if he had to use that Forbidden Technique called Izanami again.
Even if the price was completely losing his remaining two Sharingan, even if he could never see a shred of light again in this life.
As long as he could make Elder Xuan's soul and body perish in the pain of Reincarnation, he would not hesitate!
"Elder Xuan... die!"
Lin Sheng's voice was as raspy as sandpaper.
The dark red Pupillary Power had materialized into twisted chains, seemingly about to drag everything around into an endless abyss of illusion.
...
"Nonsense!"
A thunderous roar of anger crashed down from the Nine Heavens.
Immediately after!
A surge of dark green, majestic Soul Power, like a physical Mount Tai, forced its way between Lin Sheng and Elder Xuan with unquestionable dominance.
That power was extremely thick.
Yet it was exceptionally gentle, like a pair of invisible hands pouring into the Baihui Point at the top of Lin Sheng's head...
"Buzz..."
This Soul Power...
Instantly smoothed the Meridians in his body that were on the verge of exploding, and forcibly suppressed that madly burning Pupillary Power back into his eye sockets.
Du Busi's stalwart figure abruptly appeared on the roof ridge. He cast a cold glance at the despondent Elder Xuan.
His eyes were full of disdain.
"Elder Xuan, get lost."
Du Busi's voice was steady yet brimming with Killing Intent.
"If it weren't for the fact that I want this Disciple to cut off your head with his own hands, I could turn you, this Taotie, into a pile of rotten meat right now."
"Get lost!"
Elder Xuan looked up and took a deep look at Lin Sheng, who was protected behind Du Busi. That touch of grayish-white in his left eye was the greatest nightmare of his life.
He said nothing.
Turning around, his lonely figure vanished into the thick night like a wandering soul abandoned by the World.
...
Silence returned to the rooftop, leaving only Lin Sheng's heavy breathing.
"Sigh..."
Du Busi turned around and looked down at his most prized Disciple.
He didn't laugh heartily as he usually did.
Instead, his expression was solemn as he spoke earnestly: "Lin Sheng, revenge can indeed make you stronger, but it shouldn't be your ultimate goal."
"If I hadn't stepped in just now, even if you could have taken Elder Xuan down with you, you would have had absolutely no chance of survival."
Du Busi could imagine...
Perhaps Lin Sheng had a way to go down in flames with his enemy!
But the price...
Would likely be him becoming a complete cripple.
"At that time, your brilliant cultivation, the remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult you haven't finished killing, and even this Physical Body that carries countless expectations, would all turn to ash..."
"Tell me, is it all still worth it?"
Lin Sheng lowered his head.
The red glow in his right eye gradually faded, replaced by an extreme hollowness.
After a long time, he slowly spat out a few words.
"It's not worth it."
He looked up again, his voice returning to its usual calm, even carrying a hint of clarity after the fear.
He knew...
He was no longer that helpless child in the ruins of the village.
The hope for the Body Sect's revitalization was tied to him.
In his Sea of Consciousness lived Tianmeng Iceworm, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and Electrolux.
"I'm sorry."
Risking his life for a rotten person like Elder Xuan was indeed not a wise move.
"It's good that you've sobered up."
Du Busi patted Lin Sheng's shoulder.
"There's no rush to kill Elder Xuan. Crushing Shrek on the tournament field is the greatest humiliation for him."
...
And within Lin Sheng's Sea of Consciousness...
The Snow Empress and Ice Empress, who had remained silent, also gradually relaxed their tensed Divine Sense.
"Lin Sheng, don't push yourself too hard."
The Snow Empress's ethereal voice echoed in the Sea of Consciousness, carrying an unprecedented gentleness.
"You are our host, and more importantly, our friend."
"If you had insisted on fighting just now, I would have burned my Origin to lend you a hand. That human's strength might be great, but compared to me, he's still a notch below."
This was the Snow Empress's pride.
Even if her Origin was currently depleted!
The Ice Empress also gave a tsundere huff, but her tone was full of heartache: "That's right, Lin Sheng."
"Next time, don't think about blowing up your eyes at every turn. That Forbidden Technique damages your Foundation too much. If you want that old man's life, just wait until I've recovered, and I'll slap him to death with my tail."
Feeling the unreserved trust of these powerful existences, Lin Sheng's cold heart seemed to be infused with a warm current.
They didn't blame Lin Sheng for his crazy behavior.
Because they knew...
What Lin Sheng had gone through!
He softly responded to the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
"Thank you, Snow Empress, but I must collect this debt personally."
The Snow Empress nodded slightly and said no more.
"Go on, don't take on too much pressure. The few of us will always be your solid backup."
"Thank you."
Lin Sheng followed Du Busi as they slowly left the roof and entered the depths of the mansion.
The Killing Intent in his eyes was replaced by deeper schemes.
The upcoming matches would no longer be about simple victory or defeat, but his official move toward this World.
The first step in demanding justice from Shrek!
