The Last Courage
The Beast King Anye let out a confident laugh. Even with Wan Ziqiu's injuries, he was capable of fighting back even if he was on his last breath. This was why he was willing to admit defeat.
"Ten years from now, when I have fully mastered the Power of Sacred and Evil, let us settle this once more. In this battle, I will only be able to unleash less than half of its power."
Si Ming crouched down, reached out and pressed down on the Beast King Anye, using his strength to restrain it and render it unable to move.
"What do you want to do?" The Beast King Anye sensed something ominous.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to emulate the villains by revealing the truth when they've cornered their enemies, just to please myself. But villains often get a comeback when they do that, so I'm just doing this as a precaution."
"The truth?"
"You fell into the trap from the very beginning. Why was Wan Ziqiu on the battlefield? Didn't he know that watching powerful figures fight is also a very dangerous thing? Didn't he know that you would definitely want to get rid of him as soon as possible to ensure your safety? Even if he couldn't wait to kill you with his own hands, wouldn't it have been more successful to hide and launch a sneak attack from the shadows?"
What are you trying to say?
"He did this on purpose, including those disgraceful acts, all to draw your attention to him, to make you believe that as long as you get rid of him, you'll have no worries, and even if you die in battle, you can make a comeback. For this reason, Wan Ziqiu was even prepared to sacrifice himself. Perhaps Wan Yebai was protecting him in the end."
The Beast King Anye understood Si Ming's meaning and exclaimed in utter horror, "Impossible! Wan Yebai only has one blood relative still alive!"
"That's right, so this is revenge from the dead."
A woman strode over, her voice filled with obsessive madness. "Beast King Anye, prepare to die!"
Chapter 610 The Last Courage
Wielding the blood-stained blade transformed from Liu Qingqing, Wan Ziling pierced the heart of the Beast King Anye with One Sword, precise strike, pinning him to the ground.
The Beast King Anye looked up at the woman's face so close to his, searching his memory but finding no clues about her connection to Wan Yebai. Yet, a tremor that ran through his very soul told him that the person before him truly possessed the power to kill him.
Perhaps she's an illegitimate daughter even Wan Yebai himself didn't know about, or perhaps there was a farce of babies being switched at birth, but whatever the reason, it doesn't matter anymore...
"Ughhhhh--"
The Beast King Anye tried to resist, but Si Ming held him down firmly. His divine power penetrated his body, controlling his acupoints. He was already weaker than Si Ming, and even in his best condition, he was no match for him, let alone in his current weakened state.
His resistance came far too late. Like a tiger stripped of its claws and teeth, he was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If it had come earlier, perhaps he would have had a chance to fight back. Unfortunately, he had always believed that Wan Ziqiu was his only blood relative and felt that he was safe and sound. Now that his pillow had been removed, he realized that he had been driven into a corner.
At this moment, he couldn't even commit suicide, or rather, the Anomalies is inherently incapable of suicide; at least not by slitting his throat, but perhaps by jumping into lava with the help of external forces.
As for self-destruction, it's not something you can do immediately. Reversing your Qi and Blood, surging your Yuan Power, breaking through the safety limits of your Cultivation Body... Unless you're an expert who frequently uses self-destruction, before you've met the prerequisites, your opponent's ultimate move will already be coming your way.
"Die die die die die..."
Wan Ziling repeatedly chanted the word "death," her eyes flashing with terrifying rainbow light. Her expression was like that of a madman, her soul radiating a strong negative aura. A layer of pitch-black shadow enveloped her body, writhing and twisting like a demon.
She Power of Filth and Extinction power into the Beast King's body through the Blood Blade, transforming it into a destructive force that would destroy life. Now, she was on the verge of her limit and had begun the final process of Vengeful Transformation. All rationality had long been abandoned, and her only thought was hatred for the Beast King Anye.
Si Ming glanced at Wan Ziling, then looked away and said to the Beast King, "From beginning to end, everyone was acting. Si Jingyu was acting, Zheng Jingyuan was acting, Senior Wu Xiu was acting, Wan Ziqiu and Zhou Anping were acting, and I was acting too. Everything was to cover up this One Sword, thus keeping you in the dark... Actually, you were acting too, but unfortunately, we all recognized the mask you wore and knew your true identity. So, no matter how good your acting was, when you turned around and showed your red buttocks, everyone would know you were just a monkey in a crown."
The words, seemingly a farewell speech tinged with pity, sounded ironic to the Beast King Anye.
"I refuse to accept this! I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you've deceived me. This battle is unfair! If you have the guts, let me go, and let's fight to the death to see which is stronger: the Power of Sacred and Evil or the Tathagata's Indestructible Body!"
Sensing the dissipation of its essence, the Beast King was finally driven to a dead end. He hastily used forbidden techniques to squeeze out its potential, sacrificing its divine soul to once again unleash the Power of Sacred and Evil, attempting to break through Si Ming's suppression.
"Accept your fate, Beast King, this is your end!"
How could Si Ming let him have his way? He allowed the Power of Sacred and Evil to rampage through his body, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, using all his strength to restrain the other party, making him unable to break free and obediently accept the punishment.
"Damn it! I've already surpassed the King of Monsters and reached an unprecedented peak, but I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"
"The sun rises and sets, the cycle of Heavenly Dao continues; good and evil are rewarded accordingly, cause and effect are inescapable; the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; why should a defeated general utter more words!"
Si Ming reached out and placed his hand on Wan Ziling's hand, pressing down hard. The blood blade penetrated three inches deeper, Power of Filth and Extinction flowed throughout its body. The Beast King Anye's body stiffened, its life force extinguished, but its eyes remained wide open, dying with its eyes wide open.
"It's finally over..."
Before the words were finished, the essence of the Beast King Anye loosened and began to flow into Liu Qingqing's body. This is why only blood relatives can kill the King of Monsters.
However, aside from the fact that Liu Qingqing's cultivation level is too weak and her human body cannot withstand such a massive amount of Power of Anomalies, Hongdou can accept it because she already has half of the bloodline of the Monster Race in her body. But Liu Qingqing does not have such conditions. If she were to inherit the original power of the Beast King Anye, which is even stronger than that of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, she would only be forcibly transformed into Anomalies.
Fortunately, having learned from Hongdou's experience, Si Ming had already prepared a countermeasure. He immediately pressed down on Liu Qingqing's chest and used his True Qi to force the Beast King's essence into the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood.
The Myriad Filth Tainted Blood have been refined by Liu Qingqing into an external clone, essentially an extension of her body. It receives the Beast King's essence without any hindrance. As for whether it transforms the essence for its own use or is transformed into Divergent Method by the essence, that's up to her.
"Ugh, the Beast King's power is too great. I can't transfer it with my own strength alone. Please come and help me."
Si Ming hurriedly asked his companions for help. His Internal Cultivation was not yet at the Spirit Transformation level, and it was too difficult for him to transfer the Beast King's origin on his own. This was like having a water pipe for water intake and another for water output, but the intake pipe had a much larger diameter than the output pipe. Sooner or later, the reservoir would be full of water.
Wu Xiu and Yuezheng Yao, both Nascent Spirit Transformation, quickly stepped forward, significantly increasing the speed of their transfer.
"Not enough, send more!"
Si Jingyu and Si Huaruo also joined, but it was still not enough. The others were of too high a cultivation level to be of any use and would only become a burden.
Seeing Liu Qingqing's full head of black hair dancing wildly like snakes, sometimes thickening, sometimes thinning, sometimes growing longer, sometimes shortening, as if it had gained sentience and was showing a tendency to transform into Medusa, fortunately Zheng Jingyuan and Wan Ziqiu arrived in time and joined in with their one arm each, managing to transfer the Beast King's essence into the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood without any major danger.
"It's over... it's finally all over..."
With her obsession fulfilled, Wan Ziling's malevolent aura dissipated, and she regained a sliver of clarity.
"Sister..."
Wan Ziqiu stepped forward, opened his mouth as if to say something, but tears streamed down his face before he could speak, and he was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Within a single day, he first learned of his father's tragic death, then reunited with his sister only to be separated again, enduring the pain of losing two loved ones.
Wan Ziling smiled kindly, reached out and patted the other's head, and said, "You've grown up now, and you should learn to shoulder everything. Your sister and father are gone, and no one will criticize you anymore, so you need to become more sensible. No one will shelter you from the wind and rain anymore."
