Chapter 316: Grand Deception! Feigning Death and Returning to Life! Unlocking a New Move! Killing Intent Soars!
By the faint light it was possible to see that it was a pale-skinned young man with his face sallow as if from excessive debauchery.
He was wearing a burial shroud, and he panted heavily with his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Li Yanchu, who was hacking at the flesh-born monster.
His gaze was filled with boundless malice.
“Damn it! If Heaven and Earth truly reject me to this degree... I was only one step from completing the ritual!” the shroud-clad youth muttered, his voice impossibly hoarse and ancient.
His eyes were muddied and world-weary. It was not the look of a young man at all, but of a cunning, vicious old fiend.
He took a deep breath to steady himself, then hissed in hatred, “You slaughtered my Xinyi Dao disciples, ruined my sacrificial platform, and wrecked two generations’ worth of plans! I will slaughter everyone you love, destroy everything you care for and make your life worse than death!”
The shroud-wrapped youth was none other than the Xinyi Daoist leader who had been hiding and cultivating inside the painting, Daoist Bichen!
Now reduced to this ghastly visage, he had hurriedly possessed the body of a consumptive youth who had died from indulgence. Seeing that the flesh-born monster’s failure was already sealed, he glared at Li Yanchu one last time and then turned to leave.
Xinyi Dao specialized in scheming, and they were even more troublesome than the Thousand Illusion Sect, who were masters of transformations.
His heart was filled with nothing but hatred. He swore he would make Li Yanchu understand exactly what it felt like to be hunted by an advanced second realm Yin Spirit cultivator!
“Eh!? The hell!?” Daoist Bichen couldn’t help but cry out.
Even a crafty old schemer like him felt a ripple of shock. Behind the tree stood a graceful, strikingly beautiful woman. She wore a plain green dress, and her hair was done up in a neat bun. A string of prayer beads hung from her wrist. Without a doubt, she was a stunning, alluring woman.
