Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 106 - 104: Ambition Entrusted to the West Wind

Chapter 106: Chapter 104: Ambition Entrusted to the West Wind

At the moment when the Meat Mountain took shape, an invisible might instantly enveloped the entire ruins of the Water Pavilion.

A Red Seal Mage transformed into a Deceit Object, which was obviously far superior to those who were merely ordinary people.

Wang Yuan, who could only look up at it, remained unfazed.

With a reach of his hand, Mr. One-Eyed immediately activated "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains," and sent Wei Anning, who was hardly breathing yet still clinging to life, into his hands.

It must be said that the physical condition of a Dao General is indeed impressive.

Originally fighting fiercely against the Yili King, then parasitized by Old Taoist Ge, and subsequently affected by the "Mixed Element Thunderbolt" at close range, he had not yet died even now.

"I originally wanted to keep you alive to ask where Huang Wu’s family was fifteen years ago, and what exactly does a likely Sealing Title ’Yunhe’ represent.

But now, due to urgent circumstances, I can only borrow your life for the moment," he said.

Wang Yuan, expressionless, plunged the "Fire Dragon Coiled Sword," which had long been starving with thirst, into the chest of this third realm Dao General.

"Ah..."

Wei Anning, the direct executor who was responsible for abducting Huang Wu back then, suddenly shuddered and widened his eyes.

Yet he was already unable to utter a single word.

This Dao General, who would have been significant anywhere, should have had a great future, but unfortunately, he fell into the wrong hands.

After becoming a henchman under the Luoyang King, he spent half his life being used by others.

His plight reached its peak today when, within a single two-hour period, he successively experienced schemes by Zhou Wenye, Zhou Jingxiang, and Ge Daoxuan, before finally being exploitatively drained of his last vestiges of Qi-Blood by Wang Yuan.

This pitiful tool, thus, could finally rest.

However, a camel starved to death is still bigger than a horse, and even in such a miserable state, Wei Anning’s Qi-Blood was still more vigorous than any second realm Daoist Soldier.

The satisfied "Fire Dragon Coiled Sword" seemed to contain the power of a volcanic eruption, seething fiercely.

It was already impatient to release the earth-shattering "Sacrifice Sword"!

Holding the talisman in his palm, Wang Yuan slightly lifted his eyes, now faintly tinged with blue, and coldly stared at the hideous Meat Mountain surging towards him.

After enduring countless hardships, he now had a much deeper understanding of Deceit Objects.

From top to bottom, the levels are as follows:

The "Undying Tree" of Dao branches on the "Heavy Yin" with the primary root being the Thirty-Three Heavens, the secondary roots being the palaces of sun and moon, and the Qi root being the Cycle Star Mansion;

The Venerables of the sect, barely visible behind numerous layers, showing only hints of their presence;

The immortal spirits of the Deceit level who have drunk "Immortality Wine" and stolen a "Killing Dao Fruit";

Magicians and mortals who either lost control of their Daoist Skills or were overtaken by "knowledge" and were completely mutated;

Various "demons" who temporarily hadn’t completely mutated after violating "Precept Taboos."

Tracing back to the root cause.

No matter which layer they belong to, essentially, they are henchmen for hunting mortals by the "Undying Tree," all hanging from one of its branches.

Why have we never heard of a kind, non-man-eating Deceit Object?

This is because the bottom-line rule given by the "Undying Tree"—no, the "Killing Tree"—is such.

They can only choose one method of cooking—boiling, stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, braising, smoking, stewing, simmering... etc., but they cannot choose not to consume.

Thud!

The corpse mountain stitched together by mycelium suddenly turned over, smashing down limbs made up of numerous corpses which could either be considered arms or legs.

But it seemed that many consciousnesses were guiding this body, making the attacks chaotic and without any semblance of strategy.

Whoosh—!

Before the attack could reach him, a gust of cold wind arose, and Wang Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot, while five diligent green-skinned Little Ghosts were already lifting their Mountain Lord and running for their lives.

As long as they don’t waste time opening the Yin Road and move just within sight, the speed of "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains" is as fast as a storm.

The "Weird•Old Taoist Ge" missed its strike, and suddenly the heads on its back opened their mouths wide, revealing disgusting black mouths mutated by transformation, spewing out countless black and red spores.

Gathering into a dense cloud, they sought to completely engulf Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan swung his arms repeatedly, a series of bone-chilling cold winds sweeping all those spores back into the lotus pond.

At the same time, he threw out a handful of Tiger Fur, transforming into several large White Tigers, harassing the Deceit Object from all sides.

The five green-skinned Little Ghosts then took him in retreat, dodging the sharp edges, retreat after retreat.

The "Fire Dragon Coiled Sword" held in his palm, however, showed no intention of taking action.

The Red Seal Mage, not to mention in its mutated form as a Deceit Object, was already several times stronger than before.

Moreover, after growing ten times larger in size, the vital "spore" can hide in even more places.

Even though the "Sacrifice Sword" is powerful enough to kill a Deceit Object, the opportunity to strike remains only once.

He must either find the spore or lure it out!

Of course, if he could use the "Yin Yang Heart Bell" right now, he might try to directly attack the opponent’s already mutated soul.

However,

had Wang Yuan faced a half-human half-monster "Weird Immortal," with their cunning human minds and the experiences brought by a long life, they would have made the most terrifying opponents.

But an ordinary "Weird" creature acting merely on instinct, no matter how strong, always had a fatal weakness.

Especially when Old Taoist Ge had just transformed into a "Weird" and still retained some parts of his instinctual obsession.

Like... right now!

Several figures suddenly appeared in the water pavilion, riding the Yin wind.

"Lady Immortal!"

"Senior Sister!"

"Wife!"

When Lady Peach Fairy and Huang Wu, along with a large black dog, precisely arrived there using the external array set up for Wang Yuan to locate them,

the originally wildly raging Meat Mountain suddenly stiffened, and then, on the body closest to Lady Peach Fairy, five human faces made of fungal strands suddenly sprouted.

They stared intently at the stunning beauty clad in light yellow palace attire and wearing water-green embroidered shoes.

The reason for Master Ge’s loss of control was now clear.

Due to the severely damaged fungal spores from a massive explosion, Master Ge’s main consciousness was critically impacted.

No longer able to suppress the other four disciples within him, who also practiced the "Ganoderma Immortal Restoration Method,"

these five Magicians, although dead, had consciousness residuals that struggled to dominate each other, naturally leading to the uncontrollable mutation of the "Ganoderma Extending Seal" within them.

This turned the "Weird Old Taoist Ge" into a composite entity of a group consciousness.

"Ah! You..."

As Wang Yuan had been her representative in her marriage, this was the first time Lady Peach Fairy had seen her fellow disciples in such a state.

However, her first reaction was not concern, but to immediately draw the "Weird Object Peach Wood Hairpin" from her hair, ready to strike and kill these weird entities once again.

The faces of consciousness residuals were already muddled, completely oblivious to Lady Peach Fairy’s hostility.

"Lady Immortal, we’ve been eaten."

"Eaten by that undying one."

"It hurts, Senior Sister, I want to live."

"..."

The last face suddenly became furious:

"How bold, you traitors, how could you understand the sufferings of an old man?!

When I was young, I embraced my wives and concubines, and it was common to go five or six times a night, but after the age of forty, I suddenly found that my energy was somewhat lacking.

I often made various medicines to consume, but to little effect.

Later, I realized I wasn’t sick; I was just getting old.

It was only after I was forty that I resolutely left my official position and dedicated myself to cultivation in the mountains. If I don’t eat you, how would it be my turn to become immortal and lead the ancestors?"

Due to muddled consciousness, the five faces began to bite each other, completely forgetting the looming enemies nearby.

This "Weird" entity embodied the very definition of chaotic and senseless behavior.

Wang Yuan shook his head and casually tossed away the Fire Dragon Coiled Sword in his hand.

Sizzling—!

The mid-air thunderbolt exploded into a burst of red sword light several meters long, then vanished in a flash.

The next moment, the five faces representing the five consciousness residuals had been slashed to ashes.

The Meat Mountain collapsed thunderously.

With several mouths opening and closing tenaciously, it spat out Old Taoist Ge’s last words:

"Most afraid to question the original intent, vast dreams turn to emptiness, an old hero between the brows and temples. The sword armor helmet (dī móu helmet) buries the thick earth, what talks of immortality capturing the azure dragon!

Great ambitions given to the western wind, vanished without trace.

The youth early becomes a leisurely elder, spending days with poetry, wine, qinqi, year after year rushing by..."

Too clever with his mechanisms, this Devil Path who tried to grasp all benefits in one net, thus took his final breath.

"Old Taoist Ge, in his pursuit of objectives, discarded all moral baselines, can also be considered as one of those steadfast in their ’heart of the Dao.’

Regrettably, to seek immortality in the hope of living forever, yet dying halfway through, this... is utterly ironic indeed!"

At this moment,

Wang Yuan’s "Yin Morality" also finally jumped again, from 472 points directly up to 1563 points.

Rushing through the night, he finally laughed last.
