Chapter 56: Execute One’s Own People First (3 more - s)

Success, success!Fang Yu’s body trembled.

Fortunately, he arrived just in time.

A second later, and the Medicine Pill would have stolen the kill!

Fang Yu was very pleased with that punch just now.

He felt that the Sweeping Monk would also be very satisfied with it.

Because that punch, was practically a painless death.

A second was all it took for Lin Wotian to connect to heaven, meritorious beyond measure.

realm higher than player, acquiring 50% of his maximum health.]

health... 600 health!!

Holy shit!

It’s really in the bag!

Happiness came so suddenly, Fang Yu was somewhat at a loss.

Looking at his total health of just 32 points, suddenly surging to 632 points, he felt like he was going to faint from happiness, brimming with a sense of security!

What demon?

I am the demon!

How much health did those three brothers at the door have again? 300 health? 500 health?

Come over and get beaten!

Diao Deyi requests to lead the team!

Diao Deyi wishes to slay demons and eliminate evil!

The first strike of slaying demons, starting by slaying one of our own!

Sweeping Monk, go in peace, I will protect your Lin family juniors!

Just as Fang Yu was overwhelmingly excited...

The system notification sound unexpectedly rang out again.

, you have gained 500 Experience Points.]

Fang Yu: ...

Fang Yu’s actions stiffened.

Fang Yu: ?

Fang Yu: ???

System, when I type question marks, I hope it’s not me who has the problem, but you!

Demon Clone Lin Wotian?

Demon of Suffer?

What does that mean? What does it mean?!

This Lin Wotian is a human, and then he’s also a demon?

What the hell?

Human and demon in one? Human and demon coexisting? Has he gone mad??

Fang Yu was thoroughly confused, completely stumped.

But the benefits of the experience points are real.

At this moment.

The moment Fang Yu killed Lin Wotian.

Across millions of miles away on Mountain of Tribulation, a slight disturbance occurred.

Mountain of Tribulation, shaped like a basin surrounded by enclosures, and at its center stood the Thousand Feet Stone Buddha taller than the mountain itself!

The body of the Buddha, towering into the clouds, from the base to the top, as if facing a divine Buddha, majestic and sacred.

Suddenly, a tiny pebble, on the Thousand Feet Stone Buddha, broke away.

Drip drip.

Drip drip.

The pebble rolled down along the great Buddha, sinking into the ground like a seed, disappearing from sight.

The Stone Buddha, at this moment, slowly opened its eyes.

Boom—

The Thousand Feet Buddha, merely opening its eyes, was like thunder shaking the heavens and earth, startling a flock of birds into flight.

"Master Ancestor, has another Clone Fruit fallen?" In the flock of birds, a black bird lingered at the edge of the great Buddha.

"Mmm..."

In an instant, the Thousand Feet Buddha had reviewed the entire life of Clone Lin Wotian.

"Master Ancestor, your clone has been refined to the extreme, broken beyond repair."

"From the initial , to completely becoming a ."

"Indistinct between human and demon, coexisting as one."

"Master Ancestor, you are only one step away from becoming a ."

The Thousand Feet Buddha nodded slightly.

The immense motion was like an earthquake.

It looked up at the sky, its expression complex.

There was longing, there was hatred, finally settling into calm.

It slowly spoke.

"I lack... merit."

The black bird was startled.

"Ancestor Master intends to tear through that ?"

"Yes."

"...How much time do we have left."

The Stone Buddha enunciated each word.

"One year."

One year!

The black bird’s emotions fluctuated.

It gazed across the Mountain of Tribulation.

Every flower, every blade of grass.

Every tree, every piece of wood.

All were demons.

Demons swarmed the mountains!

Demons crowded dense and thick!

Thus, it opened its mouth.

"Ancestor Master commands!"

"One year later!"

"Shatter the heavens!"

"Descend into the world!"

The loud voice propagated throughout the entire mountain peak.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The mountain trembled.

At the foot of the mountain, all the pebbles rolled automatically, moving the great mountain.

The roots of flowers and grasses broke through the soil and swayed in response to the wind.

The lake water in the mountains leaped from the surface, casting rainbows.

The entire Mountain of Tribulation came to life.

In Tianyuan Town, Red Heart Dojo.

Yuan Hongxin walked quickly, with urgency.

Elder Lin of the storeroom was in poor health, something Yuan Hongxin had always been aware of.

But that illness was strange; no medicine could cure him.

The Lin Family might have considerable influence, but Yuan Hongxin had his own channels too.

To cure Elder Lin’s illness, he had spared no effort all along.

But... no medicine could cure him.

The illness seemed like life itself, resisting the continuation of existence, the body’s functions irrevocably deteriorating.

From initially treating the illness to later trying to extend life, Yuan Hongxin had tried a lot.

However, like the Lin Family’s efforts, it was all in vain.

Today, after Lin Wu’s panicked arrival, Yuan Hongxin knew it was time to see Elder Lin off on his last journey.

Old and frail, tormented by illness, sometimes being alive was more a punishment than a relief.

"Master! Master, you must save my uncle, it’s all my fault! I’m the one who harmed my uncle..."

Lin Wu kept babbling, but Yuan Hongxin had already stepped into the storeroom.

Upon entering, Yuan Hongxin was immediately stunned.

In the storeroom stood a young man; beside the youth, there was a corpse.

At a glance, Yuan Hongxin recognized the corpse; it was indeed Elder Lin.

In the end, he failed to accompany him on his last journey.

Yuan Hongxin sighed inwardly, then calmly looked towards Fang Yu.

He probably guessed what had happened.

"Uncle!!"

Lin Wu had already rushed over, kneeling in front of Lin Wotian’s corpse and weeping bitterly.

"Diao Deyi, tell me what happened."

"Replying to Master, Senior Lin couldn’t bear the torment of the Medicine Pill consuming his body and asked me to end his life."

"Uncle!!"

Lin Wu cried even harder.

Yuan Hongxin sighed inwardly and after a moment of silence, asked,

"Did Elder Lin... pass peacefully?"

"One palm."

"...Good."

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Hongxin said, "Diao Deyi, without my permission, you acted upon Elder Lin independently; this is an transgression. As punishment, you will receive no meal supplements from the dojo for three months. Do you accept this?"

As if I want your food...

Fang Yu clasped his fists, "Disciple admits his fault!"

"Ehm, now, you are to wait in the main hall. Without my order, do not leave."

"Understood!"

Though described as a punishment, it was merely superficial, just a formality.

Elder Lin’s death had been destined since privately administering the medicine, even without it, he would not have survived many days.

Fang Yu’s palm strike had instead given Elder Lin a swift release.

After Elder Lin’s death, his position, the keys to the storeroom, and some of his personal effects needed to be organized and handled.

This time, Yuan Hongxin personally took care of it, to make up for not being able to see Elder Lin one last time.

An hour later, he returned to the main hall.

To find Diao Deyi practicing his swordsmanship in the hall.
