"Chi chi chi..."
Great Winged Sparrow limbs and blood covered the ridge, while steaming flames and the stench of blood drifted through the air.
The slaughter was over.
Gu Shen stood amid the pool of blood, yet he felt strangely unsatisfied—almost hollow.
He frowned toward the ruler hidden in his sleeve.
It was a terrifying realization. After this slaughter, the irritation he had felt inside had eased considerably. Every Great Winged Sparrow he killed brought another measure of calm...
This was very likely a mental influence brought by the ruler.
Or perhaps it was the price he had to pay for bearing the authority of Underworld Fire.
He had clearly become more bloodthirsty than before!
Among the Seven Gods, the King of the Underworld governed life and death and presided over slaughter.
The previous King of the Underworld had been a notorious killer, and that was precisely why City of Light had hunted him down. If Gu Shen failed to restrain himself, he might become the same way in the future... Gu Shen took a deep breath and suppressed the chaotic thoughts surging through his Mental Sea.
He knew that the devil within the ruler had been waiting for an opportunity to strike back.
The misfortune shrouding him was growing ever more numerous and intense.
As long as he entertained the thought of using the disciplinary ruler, he would bring disaster upon his future...
But he could only think of a way to resolve those disasters later.
For now, he had to use the Truth Ruler in his battle against Xiao!
"You said you wanted to save me? Sorry, but I don't need saving."
After calming his thoughts, Gu Shen spoke coldly.
Never believe anything an enemy said. Gu Shen had understood that principle long ago.
So whatever Xiao said
