One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 583 - 479: In Heaven and Earth, All Buddhas and Demons; Who Can Stop Me, Who Dares to Stop Me!?

"Duck down! Who, me?"

Gao Ming was astonished. He was separated from that girl by a distance of thousands of meters, amidst which a large number of Martial Artists and deformed blood-thirsty Demons were roaring madly. Yet, he felt like the girl was talking to him, and Gao Ming thought he must be going crazy. Or perhaps, in this Purgatory-like world, going insane might actually be better. He didn’t hesitate, doing as the girl said, holding his sister tightly in his arms.

Swoosh!

Something brushed past his scalp, chilling the top of his head.

Gao Ming’s teeth chattered, his body trembled, and he instinctively reached up to touch—blood!

For a moment, Gao Ming thought his Heavenly Spirit was torn open, almost peeing in his pants.

A dull noise came from behind. Turning his head, he saw a half-human, half-snake deformed monster sliced at the waist. Its lower half was still in a doghole under the city wall, while its upper body sprawled on the ground. Its eyes were molten gold, its mouth wide open, issuing a terrifying scream.

"Ah!" Gao Ming screamed, landing on the ground on his buttocks, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He knew what had just happened; that monster had been lurking right behind him, almost ready to rip his head off from his neck.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..." Gao Ming gasped heavily, his heart pounding.

Suddenly, the entire world became quiet, and the roaring that filled the battlefield mysteriously vanished. Confused, Gao Ming slowly turned around, what he saw made him feel as if he had plunged into a blood-drenched nightmare. Everything... those deformed monsters, the roaring Martial Artists, even the scattered rocks and vegetation outside the city wall, were all split into two halves by an invisible Scythe Blade.

Those corpses still retained their ferocious hunting poses, only when a chilling wind blew over from a distance did the two halves of the bodies slowly lose balance and collapse. Dark, fresh blood gushed from the giant wounds, converging to form a small Blood River on the ground. On the other side of the Blood River, that girl in the black dress holding the massive exaggerated Scythe Blade walked forward gracefully.

Black boots, pale smooth calves, then upward to the soft skirt… The girl’s voice came from overhead, "It’s remarkable that anyone is still alive in this city."

"Thank you, miss, for saving my life!" Gao Ming, as if awakening from a dream, immediately knelt and kowtowed.

"..." After a silence, Lilith said, "I’m sorry, I probably can’t save you. It won’t be long before you turn into what I just killed."

Gao Ming shivered, "Wha-what?"

He looked up, meeting the girl’s dark pupils that were as black as the Abyss.

"Look at your arm."

Gao Ming, sweating, rolled up his sleeve.

His hand, which on normal days could climb walls, trembled uncontrollably.

Just this simple movement took him more than a dozen breaths to expose his arm from the sleeve.

His dry arm was shockingly covered with patterns like Snake Scales. Gao Ming rubbed fiercely, trying to tear these vile things off his body, causing his arms to bleed profusely, but the scales only became more apparent. Gao Ming suddenly sat down desolately as if something had been sucked out of him, his gaze vacant.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry!" his younger sister tiptoed over, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Gao Ming swallowed his saliva, despairingly asking, "My sister, will she also turn into one of those monsters?"

"Your sister’s body… shows no signs of mutation right now," answered Lilith.

"Gasp!"

Gao Ming let out a breath of relief.

But looking at Gao Yuan’s blank expression, a wave of sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

She was so young, so naïve, couldn’t even speak, if he died, who would take care of her, how could she survive?

Gao Ming knelt on the ground, his eyes watery, looking at the girl in front of him, "Miss, if I die, can you take my sister with you? As a servant, a maid, she can do any kind of hard labor, just as long as she has something to eat."

"I am not a rich miss, nor do I need servants," Lilith shook her head, "But I will take her away from this battlefield. She survived this catastrophe and was not infected by the Divine Plague, she has a precious talent within her."

This talent might be the key to ending this catastrophe... Lilith thought to herself.

"That’s great, thank you," Gao Ming’s eyes brimmed with tears.

"Don’t thank me, my kind created this disaster, and I must atone for their actions," Lilith bent down and gently picked up the girl. Looking at the young man kneeling before her with tearful eyes, her face filled with regret, "I’m sorry for the catastrophe that has befallen you, I cannot help, but I can give you a death without pain."

"Thank you," Gao Ming just blankly repeated.

He felt the girl’s delicate, icy fingers seemingly lightly touch his forehead, followed by the image of the girl turning and walking away. Her long skirt fluttered in the wind, stepping on the Blood River that flowed, the riverbanks seemingly blooming into black blossoms, petals fluttering with the wind, as a battlefield that should have been bloody turned beautifully dreamlike. Gao Ming basked in the distant scent of flowers, a smile forming on his face, his body slowly collapsing to the ground.
