Chapter 380 - Self-Punishment
Chapter 380 of "Journey to the End of the Night" starts with unexpected events: The roar suddenly ceased, and Ghost watched Baili An, speechless.Beneath the ghostly mask, the malice... Find out more!
The roar suddenly ceased, and Ghost watched Baili An, speechless.
Beneath the ghostly mask, the malice was thick.
The second demon from Demon World looked at Baili An, âArrogant little thing, you canât even break through my array.
Do you really think you can defeat me with just the Yin Jade?â
âIf he canât take you down, what about me?â
Accompanied by a cold voice, a tall, slender figure emerged from the twilight, and slowly walked forward.
Clad in snow-touched, pure-white garments, the thin ribbons in her hair fluttered in the wind with her flowy ink-black hair, her exquisite jade-like face calm and serene, with a faint coldness spreading gently in her dark eyes.
âTaixuan SectâŚ
Miss Su Jing?!â
Everyone exclaimed in shock, filled with astonishment and joy.
The arrival of the second demon of Demon World had cast a layer of uneasy shadow over everyoneâs hearts.
Although he had not yet made a move against them, the presence of one of the six demons of Demon World in the Mortal World was always a harbinger of bloodshed and hell on earth.
Seeing Su Jing appear provided them with more confidence and assurance in this battle.
Ying Xiu looked at Su Jing with a complex expression but found that her eyes held nothing of him, those cold, icy eyes were as deep and calm as he could not fathom.
He could no longer find the familiar shadows from the memories of years past.
Such a hollow feeling was hard to fill, clearly full of disdain and disgust towards her, yet why, upon seeing her again, did his heart feel so empty and bitter?
âIs it really you?â The second demon was mildly surprised to see Su Jing stepping out from Fang Geyuâs carriage.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
The bones under his feet cracked and shattered, a swift sword light swiftly destroyed the broken bone patterns, and the Array Light instantly shattered.
Everyone marveled and looked towards Su Jing.
The Emotion Slayer Sword hung at her waist, the scabbard now empty.
The second demon snorted coldly and suddenly raised his hand, catching the flying Emotion Slayer Sword between two fingers, its tip just an inch from his brow.
Yet, the mask on his face cracked into countless fine lines, as if it could crumble away at any moment.
âThis is indeed a significant trouble,â the second demon flicked the Emotion Slayer Sword with his finger, but the rebounding force from the sword directly exploded his little finger into a blood mist.
He raised his large sleeve to cover his face, and after the sleeve fell, he replaced it with a new mask, as if exposing his face was an even greater trouble for him.
The Emotion Slayer Sword did not fly back to Su Jingâs scabbard but traced a clean arc in mid-air, creating a beautiful spin, the sword tip suddenly bursting with a fierce killing intent, igniting a sword fire, and stabbing towards Ghostâs heart.
Without a word, this decisive and ruthless action shocked even the second demon, who shouted angrily, threw his arms wide in desperation, and directly used his arm to block the sword to protect Ghost.
However, Su Jing was no easy opponent; she merely lifted her head slightly, and the Emotion Slayer Sword fiercely slashed upward, cutting off the arm he had extended to block.
No blood was seen, for the second demonâs true body was not on Ghost Mountain; this body was merely an incarnation of his Divine Thought, and the severed arm, like when Baili An had once cut off one of his fingers, turned into black flame ashes.
The Emotion Slayer Sword continued its relentless path, slicing off one arm, and continued its lethal trajectory towards Ghost.
Such a stunning sword move was proof enough of her ruthlessness and cold-heartedness.
Regardless of what schemes the Demon Sect might have, as long as Ghost was slain, the third realm of Ghost Mountain could not be opened, and the Demon Sectâs plans would thus naturally end in failure.
Su Jing always acted decisively and directly.
The second demon shook his head, âSuch strong murderous intent.â
A pitch-black Star Fog emanated from the wound on his severed arm, the fog forming a circle, enclosing the Emotion Slayer Sword within a confined space.
The swordâs momentum was undiminished, but above the top of Baili Anâs head, an identical ring of Star Fog silently appeared.
The Emotion Slayer Sword entered the first ring of Star Fog, and in the next moment, an extremely cold sword tip pierced through the pitch-black fog and the Star Sea, landing directly, carrying an unstoppable icy Sword Intent.
Reflected on the Glazed Umbrella was the silhouette of the Emotion Slayer Sword.
Baili An didnât move a step, and no one around him noticed.
Su Jingâs sword was beyond the capture of ordinary beings.
Of course, she herself was an exception.
Su Jing slightly lifted her eyes, and the unstoppable, invincible Emotion Slayer Sword suddenly halted, its sword cry ancient and long, its murderous intent ceased.
Hearing the sound of the sword cry, Baili An slightly tilted the umbrella above his head, watching the cold and solemn Ancient Divine Sword in the darkness, not uttering a word.
âTaixuan Sectâs Su Jing, known for stopping killing with killing, dousing slaughter with slaughter, truly lives up to her reputation,â praised the second demon, laughing, âBut since the sword has stopped, the spirit must eventually be worn away, look, the suspended Emotion Slayer Sword, when looked up at, really isnât much different from those soft, everyday worldly swords, is it?â
Su Jing did not answer; she spread her palm, and the Emotion Slayer Sword obediently fell back into her hand.
Her voice was cold, but her next words were directed towards Ghost.
âWhat seems an unavoidable fate actually offers you a perfect opportunity for revenge.â
Ghost grunted, tilting his head in confusion.
Su Jing spoke softly, âIf I were you, facing my hated enemy, I would use all my strength to destroy whatever he desires.â
The intent of the Emotion Slayer Sword was fully withdrawn, but its tip still sharply pointed towards Ghost.
The sword, like its master, returned to being unfeeling, and although it showed no killing intent, it still sharply pained the eyes.
She said, âThis, I believe, is the best revenge.â
Su Jingâs voice was unfeeling, and her message was cruel.
Ghost understood, his deep corners of his mouth twisted into a distorted arc, his blood-filled eyes staring at the woman in white standing in the darkness.
He hissed, âYou really are a madwomanâŚ
because only a madwoman can grasp so accurately what I both fear and desire.â
The man in the purple robe grew uneasy, and turning around, he saw Ghost laughing maniacally.
That laughter, accompanied by a roar, was like a decrepit old eagleâs final fierce and mad cry before death.
Ghostâs chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with curses, and black blood continually flowed from his mouth after severing his heartâs artery, staring intently at the second demon, âThey say the people of the Demon Clan place their mission above all, for the sake of that mission, all kinds of familial love, morality, friendship, and compassion can be discarded like worn shoes.
You destroyed everything for me back then, today, without giving it back in full, but Chang Huijun, you ought to let me ask for some interest, right?â
I have been unhappy for so many years, isnât it time for your turn to be unhappy?
The second demon stared rigidly, the black blood dripping from his lips, the grinding sound audible beneath his mask.
