Chapter 100: Kill Me?

“Hui Liyi, do you still love me?”

The simple words, spoken with a heartfelt tone, came from Lei Mingde’s mouth.

Upon hearing this, Hui Liyi threw her head back and laughed, as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world.

“Hahaha! Lei Mingde, you really are interesting!”

With her laugh, the entire Beast Taming Sect couldn’t help but tremble. The ground shook violently, and the ferocious beasts within the sect let out fearful wails.

However, Lei Mingde paid no mind to her ridicule, nor did he care whether she was truly the one who had killed his wife. He simply looked at Hui Liyi seriously and once again said sincerely.

“Hui Liyi, do you still love me?”

At this moment, the expression on Hui Liyi’s face couldn’t help but stiffen slightly. Her heart quickened, and all the previous mockery vanished.

Did she love Lei Mingde?

If it had been several decades ago, she would have blurted out, “I love Lei Mingde!”

After such a long time, the love in Hui Liyi’s heart had gradually been erased by her desire to become a god.

To ask Hui Liyi to say she loved him again now was as heavy as a mountain.

“Lei Mingde! After all these years, you’re still so foolish!”

Lei Mingde let out a breath, saying faintly with some dejection, “Since you don’t love me anymore, then just kill me!”

“Hehe! Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Lei Mingde closed his eyes and opened his arms as if a heavy burden had been lifted, “Come on, to die at your hands, I would also be very happy!”

“Get lost! Don’t think you can move my heart like this!”

Suddenly, Hui Liyi’s expression became more and more ferocious. She fiercely raised the sword in her hand and, as if in a frenzy, stabbed towards Lei Mingde’s chest.

“Come on, kill me!”

The sound of the sword piercing the air was like the scythe of the god of death, about to reap Lei Mingde’s life.

Lei Zhentian shouted from below, “Dad! Don’t hurt my father!”

Hui Liyi just waved her hand lightly, and Lei Zhentian was knocked unconscious.

Immediately, she thrust the sword forward fiercely!

But this strike was off by a fraction. The tip of the sword pierced into Lei Mingde’s left arm. The latter’s figure trembled, but he did not retreat, taking her strike head-on.

Puchi…

The sword pierced through his bone. Blood couldn’t help but flow from his clothes down to his chest.

Lei Mingde gave a miserable smile, “Hui Liyi, why didn’t you kill me?”

“You! You’re being unreasonable! So what if I don’t want to kill you? It’s because there are some things I need you to see with your own eyes!”

Hui Liyi roared in frustration and anger, a sound that the entire Beast Taming Sect heard clearly.

Jia Tianyang pursed his lips, a knowing smile of a man gracing his features.

Brother Lei, you really have a way with them!

In the sky, Lei Mingde clutched his shoulder with one hand, his voice trembling as he asked.

“What exactly do you want me to see?”

“Hehe, I want to first kill the remnants of that Jialan Academy, then Xu Lingqing, Xiong Yangshuo, Lin Jintian, and all those who have ever defied me!”

Hearing her words, Lei Mingde’s face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with fear.

She’s gone mad!

She can’t be allowed to go mad, otherwise the Firo Continent will be thrown into complete chaos.

Moreover, she had sworn a soul oath. If she were to make a move against Xu Lingqing, she would surely suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

For both emotional and logical reasons, Hui Liyi should not make a move against Xu Lingqing.

Lei Mingde knelt before Hui Liyi, his old, blood-stained arms tightly hugging her thigh, “Liyi… I beg you, spare Xu Lingqing’s life. Let her go!”

Hui Liyi’s expression grew even colder. She looked up and questioned loudly.

“Impossible! If she finds out what I did to her mother, won’t she seek revenge on me?”

“She won’t, she won’t know…” Lei Mingde pleaded in despair.

Hui Liyi’s willow-like brows stood on end, her killing intent growing stronger.

“I will never let someone who wants to kill me live in this world!”

…

Silent Ridge.

The Centipede Daoist sat alone in a cliff cave with his eyes closed.

His figure was twisted, his muscles knotted, and a thick, strange aura emanated from his body. Behind that strange aura were floating souls.

The White Tiger of the Beast Taming Sect, the Green Luan bird of the Green Luan Sect, and even the Green Sun Black Ape stood indistinctly behind him.

There were also some cultivators’ souls, almost filling the entire cliff cave.

Suddenly, gusts of sinister wind blew into the cliff cave. The Centipede Daoist slowly opened his blood-red eyes and said sinisterly.

“Come in!”

Three figures entered the cliff cave, one after another.

Zhang Zhengyang’s face was now even more sinister and bestial, not at all like a normal person’s.

“Master, Lin Jintian says he has something important to see you about!”

The Centipede Daoist slowly stood up. He had also become half-centipede, half-human. Except for his head, his body was a series of rings.

“Bring him in!”

Lin Jintian walked into the cliff cave, trembling. He felt as if his body was controlled by some evil will, and he knelt on the ground uncontrollably.

“Lord Centipede…”

“Speak! What business do you have with me?”

“This subordinate has received news that the great power behind Xu Lingqing has gone away on business and will probably not appear for a short time.”

“Is what you say true?”

The Centipede Daoist spoke coldly. With a thought, Lin Jintian’s body trembled.

Lin Jintian took a sharp breath, his body trembling uncontrollably as he stammered an explanation, “That… I heard it from Xu Lingqing herself, it should not be false, and that person has not made a move for a long time.”

“Oh? In that case, this is a good opportunity for us. Zhang Zhengyang, you take Wan Shaohui and go take a look!”

“As you command, Master!”

After speaking, Zhang Zhengyang left the cliff cave with Wan Shaohui.

The Centipede Daoist squinted his eyes at Lin Jintian and asked in a low voice, “She saved you several times in the past. Why did you backstab her?”

Lin Jintian’s body tensed, a look of hatred in his eyes, “Because it was you who gave me a new life and avenged my parents!”

The Centipede Daoist gave a ferocious, wanton laugh. With a raise and fall of his hand, he poured an invisible force into Lin Jintian’s body.

“Jie jie jie…”

“For you to have such awareness, you are worthy of being my subordinate. These things are your master’s welcoming gift to you!”

Suddenly, Lin Jintian’s body was cleansed by a black energy that washed through all his meridians.

His strength soared by leaps and bounds. His original first-level Pulse Unsealing Realm had now advanced to the third-level Pulse Unsealing Realm.

Even more strangely, Lin Jintian felt as if his soul had undergone some kind of sublimation. It was as if the former Lin Jintian lived in hatred, and his soul was attached with hatred.

Now, Lin Jintian’s soul had forgotten all that hatred and had transformed into a posture of looking down on the world. Everyone would prostrate themselves at his feet, except for the Centipede Daoist before him.

“How do you feel?”
