Chapter 1160 - Chapter 1160 Chapter 1164 Confrontation of the Gods

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1164: Confrontation of the Gods Chapter 1160: Chapter 1164: Confrontation of the Gods “Zhu Minglang, finding you is not an easy task,” Hong Mo said with a smile. “Fortunately for me, there are quite a few people in this world who hold grudges against you. As long as there are grudges, I will make sure to resolve them. It seems I’m not the only one who wants to seek justice from you!”

“How persistent,” Zhu Minglang scoffed. “But for someone like you, the God of Evil Wishes, why would you even need to collude with the Tianshu God Manor? In your eyes, Hua Chou is nothing more than trash, and being Hua Chou’s evil hound is hardly fitting of your status.” Zhu Minglang glanced at the Silent Monk Group behind him, then at the corrupt Flaunting God.

“An enemy of my enemy is my friend,” Hong Mo said, smiling. “I’m giving you some time to recall the suffering you’ve brought me. I, Hong Mo, always return the favor a thousandfold. I wonder if you and your loved ones can endure enough torment to satisfy me. After all, I’m much harder to please than most Demon Lords.”

“Why don’t you start with me, brother?” Zheng Yu interjected. “I’ve loved hardships since I was young. It’s by experiencing extreme suffering that I’ve come to understand the true beauty of this world. By the way, I’m also a good friend of Zhu Minglang’s.”

“This guy is as powerful as Hua Chou, be careful,” Zhu Minglang said quietly to Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu nodded, signaling his understanding.

“Who are you? State your name,” Hong Mo narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Zheng Yu.

“A mere scholar, Zheng Yu,” Zheng Yu replied, performing a courteous bow typical of a learned man.

Hong Mo seemed to have found an amusing prey. His eyes turned a peculiar color, as if he could see through one’s entire life in an instant. Even dressed as a mere merchant, he exuded the terrifying aura of an Ancient Demon God!

“No parents?”

“That’s right, no attachments.”

“No wife, no children?”

“Too busy with trivial matters to have started a family yet,” Zheng Yu responded.

“I don’t like dealing with people like you,” Hong Mo said, suddenly losing interest.

Tormenting a person isn’t about making him suffer greatly, but about making him watch his loved ones endure the most miserable torment right before his eyes, layer by layer breaking down his limits, until he collapses and even finds crying out laughable, begging to end his pathetic life!

Hong Mo had watched helplessly as his younger brother died before his very eyes. He was cooking porridge at the time, but eating it was akin to swallowing blades, knowing his brother was already dead.

That agony made Hong Mo vow to repay it a thousand times over!

“You may not be interested in me, but I have to seek justice from you,” Zheng Yu told Hong Mo. “I had an officer who made some mistakes while performing his duties. I was supposed to have the Goddess of Childbirth grant his family a boy, one who would be a top scholar twenty years later, bringing glory to his family and making up for our divine negligence. But you, you tortured his entire family to death, exterminated their whole street, and you also cursed my officer to death…”

Upon hearing this, Hong Mo’s gaze changed once again, turning fierce and malicious as if struck in a vulnerable spot.

“Temple God Officer!” Hong Mo instantly recognized Zheng Yu’s identity, his tone cold and full of heightened caution.

“Rewarding good and punishing evil is ultimately my duty; I don’t need you, a sinister ghost that deceives humanity, to meddle in my affairs!” Zheng Yu declared.

“Under Eternal Darkness, what can an Earth Temple God do anyway?” Hong Mo retorted with a cold snort.

Zheng Yu tore off the page with the demonic pattern from his book and threw it into the flames of the burning desert.

The page fluttered toward the Flaunting God atop the giant dune, mysteriously hovering in front of him.

The pages suddenly burst into flames, erupting with an orange-gold radiance. In an instant, the light spread like purifying sacred fire, unexpectedly igniting the Flaunting God!

The aura displayed by the Flaunting God had reached that of a Divine Monarch, a formidable divine power he had obtained through the sacrifice of his own sister. Under the cover of Eternal Darkness, his malevolent power had reached its apex, which is why he had the audacity to settle scores with Zhu Minglang.

What he didn’t expect was that this seemingly insignificant page floating towards him could burn away all that he had so arduously gained. He felt his power evaporating; he didn’t even have time to unleash his rage and seek revenge on Zhu Minglang, to show off his now incomparable divine power, as his body and soul were being incinerated!!

“Hong Xian save me!!!” the Flaunting God looked to Hong Mo for help.

Hong Mo’s sinister face showed no emotion; he didn’t even bother to give the Flaunting God a glance. Such pawns to manipulate were too numerous in Hong Mo’s hands.

What truly upset and annoyed him was that this Temple God Officer had taken away the evil power he had painstakingly accumulated!

“Save me, save me!! Hong Xian save me!!!!!” the Flaunting God was still screeching for help.

However, the Flaunting God was already engulfed by the flames of purification brought about by that page. His body was covered in wounds, and his soul even more sullied. The flames seemed to feed on this filth, growing fiercer as they burned!

“I am the one who will save you, Flaunting. Stop your obstinate delusion,” Zheng Yu rarely showed a stern and cold demeanor, and the might of the Earth Temple God Officer was fully demonstrated at this moment!

“Spare me… spare me… Priest, spare me…” the Flaunting God then begged Zheng Yu, realizing how foolish it was for a True God to have been tainted with the ways of evil!

“Go and atone. For every day you fall from grace, your sister suffers a year’s punishment in the Underworld. Since you hear her cries and pleas day and night, why are you still indifferent?” Zheng Yu had no pity for him.

Finally, the flames devoured the heart of the Flaunting God. His heart was the most corrupted and tainted; once it caught fire, every inch of his veins and blood ignited instantly, burning together with the soul of the Flaunting God.

Gradually, the Flaunting God no longer screamed in pain.

He had been transcended!

The entire process was very brief.

The ability possessed by Zheng Yu was similar to Zhu Minglang’s Heavenly Execution–once certain conditions were met within the jurisdiction of their divine responsibilities, they could carry out direct execution!

Clearly, the wicked path the Flaunting God had taken was intolerable to the divine authority of Zheng Yu.

However, Zhu Minglang had not expected that the Flaunting God would go so far as to sacrifice his sister, Pang Ying, to Hong Mo, the God of Evil Wishes, in his quest for a breakthrough. How utterly deranged!

“Brother Zhu, you focus on dealing with the others. As for this God of Evil Wishes, I shall handle him,” Zheng Yu said to Zhu Minglang.

“He’s quite capable; be careful,” Zhu Minglang replied.

“My abilities are somewhat similar to his. Though his mana surpasses mine, both our divine skills are bound by certain causal principles. I’ll discuss more with you later… The Sword Immortal in the sky is clearly targeting you,” Zheng Yu said.

“Hmm, I’ll have Bai Qi protect you,” Zhu Minglang said, harboring many doubts in his heart, but he was also grateful to have brought Zheng Yu on this venture.

Otherwise, he would have had real trouble dealing with the bizarre abilities of Hong Mo, particularly since he was also adept in curse killing!

The Flaunting God was but a minor character.

This grand display was meant to put him to death.

Especially that Sword Immortal high in the sky, whose swordsmanship was feared even by Xuanlong, who was now a High-ranked Divine Dragon King!
