Twisted Dreams-Chapter 337 - 406: Falling into Demonic Ways
Wei Ming knelt on the ground with a plop:
"Daoist Zhang, please give me a chance for redemption!"
Wei Ming clutched Zhang Xiaoyi’s pant leg tightly, his fingertips white.
Zhang Xiaoyi was unmoved, looking coldly at Wei Ming.
Wei Ming turned his head, his embarrassed face turned toward Cao Yi, pleading:
"Brother Yi, I want to avenge Elder He!"
Cao Yi stepped forward and patted Zhang Xiaoyi’s shoulder.
Zhang Xiaoyi’s cold face softened slightly, and he took a step back, heading towards the outside.
Cao Yi glanced at Wei Ming, ignoring him, while Wei Ming wiped his tears, picked up his suitcase, and ran towards the door.
...
Outside the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.
In the clear sky, a mass of black clouds appeared abruptly.
The black clouds moved quickly, drifting swiftly towards the Imperial Capital.
Three helicopters chased from behind.
Inside the helicopters were the fully armed Jinmen Administrators.
The black clouds stopped moving, and a pair of terrifying ghost claws tore through the clouds, revealing the Xie Qilin in the form of a fierce ghostly demon.
Xie Qilin’s eyes stared fixedly at the three helicopters, and he said gloomily:
"Annoying."
The pair of ghost eyes on his forehead swiveled wildly, the pupils devoid of human emotions, causing unease among the administrators inside the helicopters.
Xie Qilin’s ghost arm grew longer and longer, already dragging on the ground.
He raised his arm, and the sinister cold ghost qi swept towards the helicopters.
The faces of the administrators inside the helicopters turned grave as they summoned protective shields, ready to fight Xie Qilin desperately.
The ghost qi corroded the protective shields, and the administrators’ faces turned pale as the shields neared breaking.
They hadn’t expected the gap between themselves and Xie Qilin to be so vast!
The administrators were only at Tier One Peak, facing the Xie Qilin who was nearly Tier Four, it was like ants facing a cat.
The gap in power was too large to be bridged by numbers alone.
Just as the administrators were despairing, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, dispersing the black clouds.
Talismans flew over, with the ghost qi corroding the shields vanishing without a trace.
A Daoist slowly descended from the sky, stepping on the lightning, standing in front of the helicopters.
The Daoist’s eyes glowed with electric arcs, a red scale patch on his forehead.
A golden-haired youth rode a giant roc demon, coming from the distance.
He formed a seal with his hand, his eyes turning into vertical pupils.
Clearly, he had summoned the possession of ’Master Liu’ the old snake demon.
The administrators exclaimed in surprise:
"Sect Leader Zhang!"
"Ye Fan, Steward!"
A voice shouted angrily:
"Xie Qilin! Meet your doom!"
Before the Xie Qilin in mid-air could react, a massive black beam attacked from behind.
Caught off guard, Xie Qilin was forced down to the ground.
He fell like a meteor, raising thick dust as the ground cracked.
Xie Qilin squinted at the sky.
Zhang Xiaoyi, Ye Fan, and Wei Ming had all arrived.
He murmured:
"Is Wei Ming that guy?"
From the direction of the Imperial Capital, the sound of sirens echoed.
Xie Qilin turned his head.
Black security vehicles drove from that direction, a large number of security administrators in black suits quickly getting out of the cars, setting up a combat formation.
Cao Yi descended from the front vehicle, a Soul Lock Chain forming in his hand, looking expressionlessly at the Xie Qilin:
"Xie Qilin, I’ve always wondered how to make sure you die in prison, I didn’t expect you to seek death yourself."
Zhang Xiaoyi, Ye Fan, and Wei Ming also descended from the air, surrounding Xie Qilin in a triangle formation.
Xie Qilin’s lips curled into a sinister smile:
"Good, good, good, you’re all here.
Once I eliminate the people from the Security Administration, no one in Xia Country will be able to control me anymore.
So let me send you all to....."
Halfway through his words, Xie Qilin suddenly clutched his head, his eyes widening in shock!
He felt something in his mind trying to seize control of his body.
No, it’s not seizing, it’s more accurately ’corroding.’
The resentment, killing intent, and other negative emotions in his mind were devouring his sanity!
At this moment, the pair of ghost eyes on Xie Qilin’s forehead no longer looked around randomly but focused downward.
The gaze of those ghost eyes was maliciously fixed on Xie Qilin’s eyes.
The ghost eyes had no intelligence, only a collection of the resentment of countless wronged souls, with a singular desire for slaughter.
Xie Qilin patted his head, silently reciting ’Amitabha’ three times to keep his mind clear.
Zhang Xiaoyi, Ye Fan, and Wei Ming all noticed that Xie Qilin was not in the right state.
Seize the opportunity when he’s vulnerable!
The three simultaneously attacked!
Thunder roared, talismans flew, the Demon Sword danced wildly.
Zhang Xiaoyi and Ye Fan were both at Tier Three, and Wei Ming, thanks to the Demon Sword, was also at the threshold of Tier Three.
Facing the simultaneous assault of the three, Xie Qilin hurriedly used ghost qi to defend.
Under normal circumstances, the Tier Three Peak Xie Qilin could defeat these three.
However, Xie Qilin not only had to contend with these three but also resist the resentment in his mind corroding his consciousness.
Furthermore, he had to deal with the Black Emperor’s curse within him, which required him to divert ghost qi to fend off the curse.
Gradually, Xie Qilin began to fall behind, clutching his head with one hand while battling the three with the other.
In the clash of thunder, talismans, sword qi, and ghost qi, violent explosions erupted.
Xie Qilin was momentarily struck flying, looking unwillingly at the three.
Suddenly, he froze.
Xie Qilin slowly raised his head to look at Zhang Xiaoyi, Ye Fan, and Wei Ming.
Zhang Xiaoyi was the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, representing ’Dao’.
Ye Fan mastered the Summon Demon Immortal Technique, representing ’Immortal’.
Wei Ming’s power came from the Demon Sword, representing ’Demon’.
Once, an old host had told him such a story.
A young monk descended from the mountain to aid the people.
On the road, he encountered a female ghost who asked him if he could save all beings, could he save her?
The young monk thought that if he could save the female ghost, it would prove his profound Buddhist Technique.
So, he attempted to save the female ghost, preaching Zen by day, reciting sutras by night.
In the end, he failed to save the female ghost and instead became a Ghost Monk under her resentment.
Throughout the Ghost Monk’s life, there were three phases.
He was originally a pure, upright person of the Buddhist Sect, ended up mingling with ghosts out of arrogance, finally falling into a demonized state.
These three phases corresponded exactly to the pure ’Dao’, coexisting with demons as ’Immortal’, and feeding external objects with blood as ’Demon’.
According to some ancient legends, monks with certain cultivation who choose to associate with female ghosts are destined to be executed by ’Dao’, ’Immortal’, and ’Demon’.
Xie Qilin murmured:
"Was I, who initially used the Ghost Bride as a Ghost Husband, wrong from the start? Is this destiny?"
His mind slipped, the resentment in the Sea of Consciousness once again corroded Xie Qilin, causing an intense killing intent to burst forth from him.
In his mind, it seemed there were countless whispers.
"Xie Qilin, Xie Qilin."
"Xie Qilin, you will die here."
"The old monk’s prophecy is coming true."
"This is your fate, accept it."
These voices were the deepest fears and darkness within Xie Qilin’s heart.
Xie Qilin’s face contorted with pain as he pounded his head, clutching his ears, his body trembling uncontrollably:
"Fate... fate..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
He realized something, slowly lowering his hands, revealing a ferocious and vicious face:
"Then let me shatter this delicate fate!
I shall be the morose and gloomy king!"
The ghost qi around Xie Qilin surged more densely, a terrifying power rising violently!
He let go of his mind, allowing the resentment to corrode him!
Strength is the key to breaking the deadlock.
Only with immense power can he turn the situation around!
As the corrosion deepened, the ghost eyes on his forehead revealed intense excitement and greed.
In a frenzy, Xie Qilin spread his arms wide:
"If a crisis looms over the city today, the souls in darkness will grieve for me.
Are you prepared to etch your fear of me into your souls?
Fear me as you may!
Today, you will remember the name Xie Qilin!"
