The python seemed to have seen enough of their laughable speech. Its eyes flashed with a jade light and its huge tail rose once more, quickly striking in Qin Mo and Lin Zizheng\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qin Mo\u2019s hold on Biyoujian suddenly tightened. Seeing the oncoming snake tail, he quickly directed spirit power into the sword and sent it flying at the serpent\u2019s tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sword, glowing with a cyan light, slashed the black surface of the snake\u2019s skin, producing a loud \u201cripping\u201d sound. The place of the collision broke into a dazzling spark, illuminating the somewhat dark cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The immense serpent\u2019s eyes flashed with a trace of scorn. Lifting its head up high, it shook it slightly, seemingly sneering at the foolish, arrogant mortal before it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet the snake tail didn\u2019t alter its trajectory towards them in the slightest. In a flash, the two were sent flying and struck the wall behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it\u2019s force was strong, it hadn\u2019t fatally injured them. Seeing the tail\u2019s uninterrupted swaying, Qin Mo completely felt that the giant snake was toying with them for its own amusement, just like a cat playing with a mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thinking of this, Qin Mo suddenly felt a faint ache in all the bones in his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Shixiong!” On the side, Lin Zizheng’s anxious voice rang. As he\u2019d been protected by Qin Mo from the start, he hadn\u2019t actually suffered any injuries. Now, seeing Qin Mo\u2019s weakened state, he couldn\u2019t help but come forward to help hold him up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Qin Mo supported himself against the wall with one hand, with the other hand he braced against Lin Zizheng and slowly stood up. He waved his hand to indicate it was nothing, but inside his mind was racing. When all was said and done how would they leave here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, he recalled a forbidden incantation1<\/sup><\/a> from Shixiong\u2019s memories. Since it was a forbidden incantation, naturally the previous Shixiong remembered it quite distinctly. Of course, the price he\u2019d pay for casting it was extremely heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gritting his teeth, Qin Mo bit his own index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood from his core. Immediately, his hands quickly produced a seal, the blood floated strangely in the air and unceasingly spread out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng could only see the afterimage of Qin Mo’s hands, without being able to distinguish the movements at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After only a moment, a blood red giant net appeared in front of Qin Mo. Seeing it, Qin Mo took a deep breath and reached out. The giant net moved forward over the python trapping it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having completed this single action, Qin Mo at once looked as if he\u2019d exhausted all the strength in his body. He turned to face the wall behind him and staggered forward, his body quickly collapsing against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Shixiong!” Lin Zizheng’s eyes were bloodshot. He had never before hated his own powerlessness so much. At this moment, he could only blankly reach out to catch Qin Mo\u2019s falling body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the giant net came into contact with the python\u2019s body, he heard it burst into a fit of miserable cries. Simultaneously, he smelled the stench of burning flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From afar, he saw that the python was already trapped in a corner by the giant net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo\u2019s gaze lightly drifted away. Looking at the now exposed cave mouth, he weakly gripped Lin Zizheng\u2019s hand and said, \u201cQuick, get out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng nodded forcefully. Supporting Qin Mo, he immediately sought to escape towards the cave entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The enormous serpent seemed to see through their thoughts. At once, it opened its bell-like eyes wider and from its mouth came a loud “hiss”. The large mouth then stretched open, revealing a set of long sharp venomous fangs. Appearing truly terrifying, it immediately spit a mouthful of flames right in their direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo was alarmed, but there was nothing he could do about it in the slightest. Already, he could no longer move and the spirit power in his body couldn\u2019t be used at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng helped Qin Mo quickly retreat back, yet he lost his footing unexpectedly and fell. In the process, Qin Mo\u2019s head just happened to accidentally knock against a bump in the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Darkness fell before his eyes and his mind went blank. The last thing he remembered was the paled face of Lin Zizheng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Qin Mo lost consciousness, he failed to notice the strange appearance of a dark hidden passage behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng anxiously propped Qin Mo up. Sensing a feeble breath at the tip of his nose, his heart calmed. He\u2019d feared that the person before him had met the same fate as his parents, after he\u2019d fallen to the ground, no longer able to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glancing at the pitch-black passage in front of him, he turned to look at the python that appeared to have nearly freed itself from the giant net behind him. Lin Zizheng grit his teeth. His gaze severe, he lifted Qin Mo and walked into the hidden pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After they entered, the entrance to the passage once more closed. Lin Zizheng stood listening to the loud bangs coming from outside. It seemed that the large snake had already broken out of its binding and was currently frantically charging at the wall of the secret passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The corners of his mouth rose slightly, exposing a bloodthirsty smile that contradicted his age. His eyes briefly flashed with a shrouded ruthlessness. Given the opportunity, he was determined to skin it and rip the flesh from its bones2<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the quiet of the passage, it was completely dark. Lin Zizheng tightly held Qin Mo up. Only the sound of Qin Mo\u2019s nearly inaudible breathing could be heard. His eyes blood red, his hands couldn\u2019t help but also tighten their grasp on Qin Mo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why was he so powerless. At this point, he could only be a burden to him and this was not something he could reconcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just then, inside the hidden chamber, many small specks of light suddenly appeared and gradually a line of words emerged.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n One ponders to become a Buddha. One ponders to become a Demon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the word “Buddha” emanated a golden radiance. Seeming just as equally unparalleled, the word “Demon” seemed to have been written using blood. Even merely looking at it would make a person feel an abnormal cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng slowly extended his hand, his delicate fingers gently brushed over the word “Buddha”, ultimately, pressing firmly on the word “Demon”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an instant, all the golden specks completely faded away, whilst the bloodied specks of light flew towards his mind. At that moment, his head ached as though it was on the verge of bursting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faintly within the passage, he seemed to hear a soft sigh echo around him. It appeared to be regretful of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the extreme pain, the corners of Lin Zizheng’s mouth raised slightly, revealing a distinctly hollow smile. So what if he became a Demon, as long as he could get what he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The comatose Qin Mo had no clue the protagonist’s life had once more embarked on a fork in the road. Originally, the protagonist only accidentally entered the secret passage and naturally chose to study the “Buddha” method of cultivation. However, this time, due to all kinds of provocations he actually unflinchingly chose the “Demonic” path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7\u00b7\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo slowly opened his eyes and massaged his rather painful forehead. Looking around, he saw that he was laying on a lush green patch of grass. He could even smell the fresh grassy scent at the tip of his nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediately, he clenched his fists. He couldn’t remember whether they\u2019d escaped the cave, but now it seemed that they must have. Then what was this place and where was Lin Zizheng?<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that thought, Qin Mo couldn’t help but become anxious and hastily rose to his feet. Before he could stand up completely, he stumbled and fell down once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behind him, a pair of hands extended to gently help support him. Qin Mo turned his head slightly only to see Lin Zizheng standing by his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feeling Qin Mo\u2019s attentive gaze, Lin Zizheng\u2019s face exposed the traces of a delighted smile and he said: \u201cShixiong, you finally woke up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo\u2019s brows wrinkled slightly. He didn\u2019t know why but he felt as though Lin Zizheng seemed to have changed somehow. However, looking at his same old frail body, he thought perhaps he was mistaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo pursed his thin lips and broke away from Lin Zizheng\u2019s hold. Slowly stabilising himself, he asked: “Where are we?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seeing Qin Mo wave off his hands, Lin Zizheng’s eyes couldn\u2019t help but faintly flash, nevertheless his mouth replied: “Shixiong, incidentally there was passage behind the cave wall. At that time, you accidentally opened it and I helped Shixiong go through. When we came out, we\u2019d ended up here. But Shixiong, you\u2019ve already been unconscious for the last ten days!” As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and his tone contained a bit of a sob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo\u2019s heart softened. Even though the person before him was this world\u2019s protagonist, regardless of how powerful he would become in the future, right now he was merely a child. When faced with these situations he\u2019d still be scared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thinking of this, Qin Mo couldn’t help but gently pet Lin Zizheng\u2019s head. His face was still ice-cold and his tone remained flat as he spoke: “It’s nothing.” However, the tips of his ears blushed somewhat. He never knew how to comfort others, especially when the other party was still a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sensing Qin Mo\u2019s action, Lin Zizheng raised his head and looked at Qin Mo dumbfound his eyes still seemed to be teary. Seeing him like this, the corners of Qin Mo\u2019s mouth slightly rose to form a comforting smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At first, Lin Zizheng stared blankly, but in an instant, he turned his head in embarrassment and quietly stated: “Shixiong, your smile is really good-looking.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tips of Qin Mo\u2019s ears became even redder and he somewhat hastily turned away going over to a tree on the side. He gracefully moved into a meditating position and said, \u201cFirst, I\u2019ll restore my spirit power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Wait, Shixiong, eat something first!” Seeing that Qin Mo was about to close his eyes, Lin Zizheng immediately called out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qin Mo only then noticed that Lin Zizheng had come over to him. He wasn\u2019t sure when but a piece of barbecued meat had appeared in Lin Zizheng\u2019s hand. The meat gave a golden glow under the sunlight. It seemed extremely tempting and as Qin Mo had yet to abstain from eating3<\/sup><\/a>, the moment he saw the piece of meat, he at once felt he was a little hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He reached out to take the roasted meat. Even though he was already extremely hungry, Qin Mo still ate in a notably elegant manner. It was delicious. Qin Mo couldn\u2019t help but ask: “What kind of meat is this?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lin Zizheng smiled slightly. His eyes lowered hiding the emotions within them. He whispered: “It\u2019s just ordinary snake meat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
