Chapter 40 (2/2)

Knife had been calm and ruthless since he was young, and he was practically carved from the same mold as the bandit leader.

When he was eight years old, he killed his mother in order to survive the cold winter.

A jar of grains was not enough for two people. It was more or less the same with a woman’s body.

Knife became even more ruthless when he grew up. Everyone was afraid of him.

Even the bandit leader was a little afraid of him. He thought that sooner or later, he would bite back at himself.

Before Knife could make a move, he was caught by the people of the demon sect.

He had heard of the legends of the demon sect before, but he did not care.

The true purgatory was only in the human heart and he had already experienced it.

‘I was born in the purgatory, and now I have returned.

‘As long as I pass this trial and obtain the cultivation method of the demon sect in the future, let alone the demon sect, the entire nine regions will sink and float at my feet.

‘Killing the human youth is much easier than killing the demon wolf.

‘Moreover, the human is not poisonous, and his whole body can be eaten.

‘Not only is the risk small, but the benefits are also great. There is no reason to give up the now or in the future.’

Knife’s eyes stared at his prey, getting closer and closer bit by bit. As long as they did not show any flaws, what awaited him was a lightning strike.

All of his attention was placed on the knife on the youth’s body, and he did not notice the slight difference on the ground in front of him.

A black thread that was like a strand of hair laid on the ground, rising and falling along with the imposing manner.

His wrist accidentally touched the black thread, and his body went slightly numb, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.

Knife did not care at all, and his eyes were still fixed on the youth.

After two breaths, he suddenly felt an itch on his back. He could not help but stretch out his hand to scratch it, but he found that the more he scratched, the more itchy it became.

It was so itchy that it was as if a thin thread had drilled into his bones and was squirming non-stop.

Knife could not help but use his hand to scratch it.

With a piercing sound, the entire animal skin was torn apart.

The originally strong back was filled with densely packed holes.

The holes were only the size of sesame seeds, but they were close to each other. In each hole, was a black thread that swayed gently with authority.

A strange itch came, and Knife reached out to grab it.

This time, there was no animal skin. His whole back was completely torn off from the waist.

Not a single drop of blood flowed out. All that could be seen were hair-like black lines, which were constantly gnawing at the flesh and internal organs.

Knife’s eyes revealed a look of extreme shock. He opened his mouth to shout, but strands of hair came out from his throat instead.

Soon after, black lines also appeared in his eyes.

Not long later, his head was emptied, leaving behind a human skin without a trace of blood, his face still showing the terror from before he died.

At this time, a breeze blew past.

The black lines that were swaying lightly broke, turning into black smoke, following the wind and floating to the position of the three youths at the foot of the mountain.

“The Heart Eroding Gu has already been released. With the blood essence of these youths feeding it, the quality of the Gu worms this time should increase by thirty percent.

“Should we think of a way to separate Alan from the saintess of Jade Fairy Mountain?

“It is enough to leave a successor for the old witch?

“If we can swallow the pure silver blood of the saintess, the quality should increase by another ten percent.

“This way, the chances of entering the molten core will increase.

“This matter concerns the excitement of our demon sect, so we can only succeed and we can’t fail.

“No wonder the old man is so ruthless.”

Ai Li changed from his kind and amiable appearance in front of Alan. His words were filled with a ghastly smell of blood.

It was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was coming toward them, carrying them with them.

It made people shudder.

Perhaps, this was the true appearance of an elder of the demon sect.
