Chapter 135: Do You Have Any Last Words?

Upon the central tower of Donglin City, the eight-tailed black fox continued to gaze at the sporadic outbreaks of slaughter scattered throughout the city.

The area of bloodshed was growing smaller, and the blood flowing into the Blood-Name Formation was already sufficient.

The ordinary citizens of Donglin City, who were still fast asleep, would also become the final sacrifices to the Blood-Name Formation in a quarter of an hour.

By then, three million lives would be unable to wake up this night, plunging into an eternal slumber.

Gazing at the dark night within the city, watching those cultivators struggling desperately for their lives, the eight-tailed black fox, whose full name was Mo Xiaoye, slowly lost herself in a daze.

How many lifetimes had she transmigrated through already?

Two lifetimes? Or three?

How many years had passed since that day? Five hundred years? Or perhaps a millennium?

For a thousand years, she had searched incessantly. Yet what was the point of finding him time and time again?

In every single lifetime, didn't he die for the sake of the so-called nation and state? Before that so-called nation and state, what was her life worth? What did it matter to be together with her?

"Are you still refusing to come out?"

The eight-tailed black fox, fully named Mo Xiaoye, looked out over the entire Donglin City and muttered to herself, as if conversing with him, yet no sound replied.

"You didn't come out when I founded the Dugu Demonic Sect."

"You didn't come out when I wiped out the entire Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Fine! These are all cultivators! The karmic consequences among cultivators are resolved by themselves; in the pursuit of the Great Dao, one must bear their own life and death! It's fine if you don't come out then! But what about now?"

"In a quarter of an hour, three million innocent commoners will be reduced to nothingness, and all of this is because of you!"

"Studying books, studying books—what kind of books are you actually reading? These three million people are about to die because of you! 'Cultivate the self, regulate the family, govern the country, and pacify the world'—what kind of family are you regulating? What kind of country are you governing? What kind of world are you pacifying!"

"Even with me acting like this, you still won't come out! What kind of gentleman are you? Have you fed all your books to the dogs?"

As she spoke, Mo Xiaoye's voice grew louder and louder, echoing throughout the entire city. Her tone was filled with grievance and sorrow, and two trails of tears slid down the corners of her eyes, slowly dripping onto the ground.

Yet the only response she received was a lingering, distant echo...

"Sigh..."

Just as Mo Xiaoye gritted her teeth, wanting to accelerate the progress of the Blood-Name Formation, a man's sigh came from the central tower.

With a start in her heart, Mo Xiaoye turned her head to look, her eyes carrying a glimmer of expectation. But when she saw the man on the central tower, her expectant gaze turned into boundless killing intent, laced with a heavy dose of bewilderment.

Why was this person still not dead?

Was he a cockroach? Or a weed?

"Affection has been empty and filled with regret since ancient times~~~ I only hate that this endless longing knows no end~~~~"

Lowering her head, Mo Xiaoye saw that undying, stubborn cockroach raise his head and chant.

His right hand grasped a crystal-clear longsword, one so stunning that even someone like her, who had no interest in swords, found it pleasing to the eye.

In his left hand was a strangely shaped object, looking somewhat like a button or a switch.

However... the poem the dead cockroach had just recited was actually rather decent.

Though as far as she was concerned, whether he lived or died didn't matter. The blood of the dead cultivators in the city was already enough anyway; one more of him wasn't much, and one less of him wasn't missed.

Yet Mo Xiaoye did not want this fellow to go and disturb Jiuyi.

Although Jiuyi had fallen from the half-step Ascension realm to the early Jade-Purity realm—which, without exaggeration, was a drop of two entire realms—she believed that Jiuyi would be able to walk out of it.

She was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and also the most talented. If anyone had the greatest chance of entering the Ascension realm, it was definitely Jiuyi! It could only be Jiuyi!

And she believed that this emotional heartbreak would become a stepping stone for Jiuyi's Dao heart!

If—if this man was still alive, then everything became unpredictable!

A white fox could rise in realm through "emotion," and could also fall in realm through "emotion"! She could even be damned to eternal perdition through "emotion"! Such was the bloodline of the white fox, and the bloodline of all fox clans across the world.

"Why are you still not dead?"

Suppressing the killing intent in her heart, Mo Xiaoye asked.

Moreover, this fellow was not only still alive, but he even showed faint signs of breaking through his realm. If he hadn't been suppressing the spiritual energy within his body—suppressing his Ocean-Viewing realm—this fellow would likely have broken through on the spot and triggered a heavenly tribulation.

(Leaping over the dragon gate: the moment any cultivator enters the Dragon Gate realm, they will face the first heavenly tribulation of the Great Dao.)

"If handsome paths do not produce me, Jiang Lin, the world shall remain like an eternal dark night!"

Jiang Lin flipped the bangs on his forehead and spoke with heroic grandeur.

"Joking aside, if I were to die, how many young maidens in this world would lose the man of their dreams?"

"You certainly possess a decent husk, but I've seen plenty of husks better-looking than yours. However, as for having a hide thicker than yours, you are truly one of a kind."

"...Ahem, ahem."

Jiang Lin coughed a few times to dispel the awkwardness.

Raising his head to look at the gigantic black fox before him, Jiang Lin continued:

"Just now, this handsome me heard you muttering to yourself. How should I put it? I feel that kind of thinking of yours is wrong. Killing and hating are matters between you and your old flame, but how can you drag innocent commoners into it?"

"Oh? Could it be that a member of the Demonic Sect, or a notorious flower-picking thief, is here to lecture me? Someone without even a cultivation partner wants to talk to my fox clan about what 'affection' is?"

"..."

Jiang Lin was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling as though he had just been roasted.

The problem was that Jiang Lin felt he couldn't even refute it.

Because the fox clan indeed possessed an extremely profound understanding of the word "affection," and he truly didn't have a girlfriend...

"Instead of hiding away and living your life, you deliberately come here to court death. You really are a strange one."

No longer wishing to chatter with Jiang Lin, Mo Xiaoye raised her paw and swiped directly at him. Jiang Lin crossed his sword to block, getting batted away into mid-air, followed immediately by the eight-tailed black fox's four tails lunging toward him!

The immense momentum prevented Jiang Lin from adjusting his angle, making it utterly impossible for him to dodge her attack.

In the blink of an eye, the four black fox tails bound Jiang Lin tightly like octopus tentacles.

The moment Jiang Lin was bound, Mo Xiaoye expelled a breath of spiritual energy, like a puff of wind.

The spiritual energy continuously swirled around Jiang Lin, forming a barrier to trap him!

"There's no letting you off this time!"

As if afraid she might miss her shot again, Mo Xiaoye hoisted Jiang Lin up in front of her, preparing to launch a Tailed Beast Ball right at him!

"Any last words?"

"Last words? Are you kidding, am I, Jiang Lin, the kind of person who courts death?" The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth curved upward wildly. "The remote control is in my hands!"

"BOOM!"

The moment Jiang Lin finished speaking, he pressed the button in his hand!

A massive explosion erupted from the central tower behind Mo Xiaoye and the twelve structures across Donglin City, echoing throughout the entire city!

The spiritual energy fluctuations in Donglin City fell into massive chaos, and one could even see the spiritual thunder triggered by the C4 explosions...

However...

Just as Jiang Lin stood there full of confidence, looking at this white fox and waiting for her to be consumed and killed by the backlash of the Blood-Name Formation...

"Huh?"

Not only was this black fox safe and sound, but she also delivered a Tailed Beast Ball straight to Jiang Lin's face...
