Chapter 438 Killing in a Frenzy

Chapter 438: Blinded by Bloodlust

Ruo Xi Baby looked at Monk Jing En, her disciple. In fact, she had long instructed Jing En to use the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

Years ago, there was a legend in the martial world about an unrivaled master who was invincible. Countless people had died at his hands. He challenged his way up the martial world leaderboard from the 30th position, and by the time he entered the top ten, twenty of those masters were either dead or injured. The entire martial world feared him, afraid that he would come for them.

Later, an enlightened master guided him, enlightening him, and he gave up killing and challenging, embracing monastic life.

Decades had passed, and Master Jing En had a serene and clear mind, always amiable, even when bullied, he remained cheerful.

However, such people often harbored demonic urges. Once these urges were unleashed, even more bloody slaughter would follow.

Back then, it was the abbot of Ganye Temple who guided Jing En to embrace Buddhism. Now, the abbot had ascended, and Master Jing En had shown no unusual behavior since.

But Ruo Xi Baby knew that he had already been unable to suppress his killing urges when he descended the mountain.

For the past year, she had Jing En craft talismans to suppress these urges.

Now, to deal with Bai Cangming, they naturally needed a master like Jing En.

In an instant, the heavens seemed to shatter, and the earth quaked. Dust filled the air, and the stone tablets originally built for mechanisms shattered. All around, broken stones flew towards everyone.

Nurse Jin raised her hand, a strong burst of energy shielding the Little Princess in her arms.

Ruo Xi Baby struggled to peek out from Nurse Jin's clothes, her little mouth pouting slightly. The scene before her made her think... Bai Cangming's skills seemed somewhat bizarre, and Jing En was actually no match for him.

However, Jing En was now consumed by the urge to kill. Even as he was repeatedly struck by the opponent's energy and sent flying, even as he spat blood, he never thought of giving up.

Liu Yingying and Xiaoyue were also injured. Not far away, adherents of the Seven Colors Palace appeared, all heading towards Ruo Xi Baby.

"The palace master said this child is divine flesh. Eating her can grant immortality, rejuvenate, and even restore eunuchs!"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab the child!"

Amidst the shouts, everyone around charged towards Ruo Xi Baby.

"Outrageous!" Ruo Xi Baby couldn't help but utter words of frustration. These people's ideas were truly absurd. Her flesh wasn't tasty, and eating it wouldn't have any effect. She was just a baby, favored by the heavens because her previous life ended in unjust suffering.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Seeing the crowd rushing towards her, Ruo Xi Baby naturally wouldn't stand idly by. She was furious. With a flick of her tiny hand, she launched a wave of attacks.

Dong Ju and Baiyu protected Nurse Jin and the Little Princess, stepping forward to engage the enemy.

The adherents of the Seven Colors Palace wore robes of various colors, each representing a different specialty—some skilled in poison, others in swordsmanship, some in hand-to-hand combat, and others in musical attacks.

A group of white-robed figures approached. With a glance, Ruo Xi Baby retrieved some talismans from her space and handed them to Dong Ju.

"Here, stick them!" The Little Princess Ruo Xi gave simple and direct orders. With just one word, Dong Ju took the talismans and swiftly moved towards the white-robed figures.

Dong Ju, who had trained in lightness skills, moved so quickly that the white-robed figures didn't even have time to react before the talismans were slapped onto their backs.

Yet, these white-robed figures didn't realize they had been marked. They each placed a leg up, set a guqin on their laps, and began to play.

"Thud! Thud!"

As the sounds of blood spitting echoed, the adherents of the Seven Colors Palace around them began to turn bloodshot, killing each other.

"Xiaoyue, look at the daughter you've raised. If she's not a demon, what is? Even her talismans can control so many people. If this child isn't eliminated, she will surely bring disaster to the world!" Bai Cangming said.

"Hmph, when it comes to causing chaos in the world, no one is more formidable than you!" Xiaoyue retorted coldly.

"In the past, I was always hesitant to believe that all those deeds were done by you, that it was you who slaughtered the people of the martial world, and that it was you who annihilated those sects. Now, I believe it. In fact, everything can be traced back to you!" Ci Xin said.

"Yes, it can be traced, Imperial Tutor Ci Xin, in your Southern Mingyue Kingdom, there are things we need to find—the South Sea Pearl and the Mermaid Pearl. If you get the most powerful Mermaid Golden Pearl, you can become invincible in the world! I've heard that the Mermaid Golden Pearl is on the prince. I think it's on you. If I can get your Mermaid Golden Pearl and the flesh of a peerless prodigy, immortality would no longer be a dream!" Bai Cangming said.

Now, he was no longer the carefree, playful old man that Ruo Xi Baby had first met. Now, he seemed completely unhinged, with his long hair flying and dark energy swirling around him. Even his lips had turned a dark purple.

"You really want it all, don't you? You’ve thought this through, haven’t you?" Ci Xin did not deny the matter of the Mermaid Pearl. He looked at Bai Cangming coldly and said, "No matter what, as the esteemed Master of the Academy, why are you acting this way?"

"I'm just seeking immortality. Is that really wrong?" Bai Cangming said.

"You're being unreasonable now. Aren't you wrong? You're making things worse!" Xiaoyue said.

"Xiaoyue, you are my most accomplished female disciple, and he is my most accomplished male disciple. It's pretty odd that the two of you didn't end up together. Ah, by the way, if I'm not mistaken, Xiaoyue, that child is Ci Xin's, isn't it? Only someone with the Mermaid Golden Pearl could have such a powerful child!" Bai Cangming seemed to have a sudden realization.

"Utter nonsense, Bai Cangming! Today, it's either your death or mine!" Jing En said, continuing his attack.

Jing En was lost in rage, but this was exactly what Ruo Xi Baby needed.

"Boom!"

With a final violent crash, a surge of fierce energy erupted around Master Jing'en, sending Bai Cangming's body flying into the distance.

Ci Xin and Xiaoyue stepped forward together, their swords thrusting in unison.

"Thud!"

The swords sank into Bai Cangming's body as he fell to the ground. He looked down at the swords embedded in his chest and then raised his head to gaze at the two of them...
