Chapter 219

Mm, Chen Zui had been in this exact state ever since the memories from the illusion surfaced and the Spirit Tree lost its nerve and flew into a rage. He had not followed the train of thought at all, and had even prepared to draw his blade and fight. Who knew... that was it?!

Was it that terrifying?!

But honestly, if those wisps of black qi had possessed intelligence, they would have long since been cursing their heads off: What the hell is this?! How could someone have absolutely nothing in his head, and absolutely nothing in his heart too? Was this man a paramecium reincarnated?! How could there not be even a scrap of darkness or fear in his heart?! This definitely wasn't human!
