Giving Grudges Their Due
Three days later, inside Baze's Sea Ridge Shelter.
The towering, steep sea ridge seemed barely modified at all. It was clear that Baze preferred things in their original state.
On Other Earth, with Jiang Xiao's help, Buddha Zhang Songfu had also acquired this Star Skill. However, because he had moved, that sea ridge had been extensively remodeled.
Inside a cavern in this sea ridge, a man in tattered clothes, covered in wounds and blood, lay dying with his back against the stone wall. His head drooped, and his unfocused eyes stared at the ground.
Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ In his daze, a crisp, pleasant Bell Chime rang out.
That beautiful sound, symbolizing life and healing and capable of bringing hope, now sounded like the tolling of hell in Baze's ears.
The Bell Chime represented not hope, but another round of agonizing torment.
Baze's body rapidly recovered. He struggled to raise his head and looked at the woman before him, who seemed never to tire.
The vicious criminal who had once cut off his own arm without hesitation and possessed an iron will had now bowed his noble head to reality amid endless agony.
Two Tails deserved credit for this, but so did Jiang Xiao's Wounding Tear Star Skill. Those terrifying starry Wounding Tears were the culprit that had broken Baze's body and mind.
A layer of mist rose in Baze's eyes, and his vision gradually blurred. He shook his head repeatedly. "I've told you... everything. I really... told you everything. Please, please don't... do this anymore..."
Just as Jiang Xiao had said, whether the Star Warrior himself or the Star Skill itself, either could be treated as a tool.
A chef used a kitchen knife to prepare delicacies, while a criminal used one to commit murder.
