Chapter 343: Chapter 343 Monsters Can't Save People
"You are too arrogant. There is no other way. I\'ve already said, since you lack the courage to make a decision, then let me make it for you," Ouyang Yudu said, turning to one of the young girls.
The young girl trembled, her face awash with tears, yet she still chose to lift her head, walk towards Ouyang Yudu, wipe away the tears on her face, and reveal a gentle smile, "Without me by your side in the future, take good care of yourself."
"Don\'t..." Ouyang Yudu saw the girl draw a dagger, and he roared hoarsely in madness, but he couldn\'t change anything.
The dagger was thrust into the chest of the smiling girl, followed by a burst of blood.
"Xiaoqi." Ouyang Juemiao did not look at the heart-rending roars of Ouyang Yudu but turned to another young man.
The young man\'s body shook, step by step he walked towards Ouyang Yudu, but halfway there, his legs gave out, and he fell to the ground, then he crawled and scrambled to Ouyang Juemiao, clinging to her legs and crying in despair, "Aunt Juemiao... I don\'t want to die... Please spare me... I really don\'t want to die... My relationship with Yudu... it\'s really not that close...
he won\'t care about me... really..."
Crack!
A blood-drenched sword appeared in Ouyang Yudu\'s hand, Xiaoqi\'s head flew into the sky and struck Ouyang Yudu\'s body, blood drenched him completely.
Ouyang Yudu\'s eyes were like pools of blood, continuously dripping, and he was nearly mad.
"Let them go, I agree to your terms," Ouyang Yudu gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
"Your heart is still not firm enough; only I can help you," Ouyang Juemiao looked at several others, some were paralyzed with fear on the ground, others turned to run.
Ouyang Juemiao\'s sword, swung mercilessly, slew each person before Ouyang Yudu.
Blood splattered, Ouyang Yudu howled silently, the chains he was pulling buzzed, but he was powerless to do anything.
In a moment, only an old man remained standing amid the corpses and blood all over the ground.
"Yudu, do you still remember the first lesson I taught you?" the old man walked up to Ouyang Yudu, smilingly said.
"Teacher... please don\'t... I beg you... Aunt... I beg you... please don\'t..."
Everyone who had seen Ouyang Yudu had agreed he lived up to the description of a gentleman as precious as jade.
But now, Ouyang Yudu had turned into a twisted beast, crying and howling, his face smeared with snot and tears.
"The path of cultivation is full of hardships, human affairs are inherently tragic. When you no longer feel the bitterness, nor perceive the sorrow, there will be no more obstacles in your life\'s practice, and the path ahead will become smoother," the old man spoke and plunged the dagger into his own chest.
"Yudu, go on," the old man said with a smile, pulling out the dagger and letting the blood flow as he fell to the ground.
Ouyang Yudu stopped crying and no longer continued to howl, quietly like a child, the blood in his eyes was fading, revealing the original whites of his eyes.
No, it wasn\'t that the blood had disappeared, but all the blood had gathered in his pupils. His pupils had turned into an eerie lotus shape, like two blood lotuses formed of congealed blood, unfolding and withering layer by layer within his eyes.
"Finally entering that state," Ouyang Juemiao said emotionlessly, her long spear cut through the chains binding Ouyang Yudu one after another.
Ouyang Yudu fell, looking like a devil, staring intently at the little girl sitting on the ground, he stepped toward her.
His pupils, like continuously blossoming and withering blood lotuses, stared fixedly at the girl, the corners of his mouth twisting back as if in a smile. But that smile was so terrifying it chilled one to the bone.
When Ouyang Yudu stood in front of the little girl, even she, who felt as though her heart was already dead, couldn\'t help but shiver, as if she truly knew fear now.
Ouyang Yudu extended his tongue and exaggeratedly licked his lips; his tongue was a bloodless flesh color, approaching white, but not quite white.
The little girl, who had fallen to the ground, couldn\'t help but scoot backward, her eyes brimming with the colors of despair.
Ouyang Yudu had completely abandoned his usual gentility, and like a bloodthirsty beast, he pounced on the little girl, pinning her to the ground. He opened his mouth to reveal his ghastly white teeth and bloodless tongue and then bit toward the girl\'s neck.
"Just like this... devour her... make everything about her your own... you will immediately become the first Ascender in history to achieve Ascension through \'Talent Theory\'... The future of the Ouyang Family can only depend on you now..." Ouyang Juemiao\'s eyes shone, her body trembling from excessive excitement.
The girl closed her eyes in despair, feeling the touch of teeth against her skin, her body shaking uncontrollably, spasming from sheer terror.
But the anticipated pain never came; the girl spent second after second in fear, yet the pain never arrived.
"What are you doing... devour her..." Ouyang Juemiao realized something was amiss and roared at Ouyang Yudu\'s back.
Ouyang Yudu did not do as she wished; his body remained still as if frozen, just lying there.
Gradually, Ouyang Yudu\'s teeth left the little girl\'s neck, prompting her to involuntarily open her eyes.
She saw Ouyang Yudu still with the terrifying blood lotuses in his eyes, but the hideousness on his face was slowly receding, seeming less frightening.
"Impossible... you\'ve entered that state... it\'s impossible to control the urge for slaughter and devouring... impossible..." Ouyang Juemiao watched Ouyang Yudu slowly rise from the little girl, and she herself became somewhat frantic.
"I... am not a beast... not a monster... I am a human... I... am...
Ouyang... Yudu..." Ouyang Yudu staggered to his feet, slowly turning around, his blood lotus-like eyes looking at Ouyang Juemiao, the madness on his face quickly fading away.
"No... you are a monster... the Nirvana of the Ouyang Family is dead... the sky has fallen... only a monster can save the Ouyang Family now... we all need a monster...
a monster capable of overpowering everything... leading the Ouyang Family out of this desperate situation... don\'t worry... your little aunt will help you... soon... very soon..." Ouyang Juemiao was seemingly delirious, suddenly drew a sword and without hesitation stabbed towards her own chest, attempting to use her own life to force Ouyang Yudu back into that state.
But the next second, a hand grasped Ouyang Juemiao\'s sword blade.
Ouyang Juemiao stared blankly at Ouyang Yudu\'s hand holding the sword, the blade already deeply embedded in his flesh, yet no blood flowed out, as if there was no blood left in Ouyang Yudu\'s body.
"Little aunt, monsters can\'t save the Ouyang Family, only people can." Ouyang Yudu\'s eyes still held the blood lotuses, but he had completely calmed down, apparently regaining the poised composure of his usual gentle self.
"You... you\'ve controlled it..." Ouyang Juemiao looked at Ouyang Yudu with astonishment, her face a mix of disbelief and despair: "You shouldn\'t... shouldn\'t have... if you don\'t become insane... the Ouyang Family is doomed..."
"Monsters can\'t save people... only humans can save people..." Ouyang Yudu said, his body gradually being covered by a jade-like carapace, and a strange mist began to rise from his entire body.
"I am a human... not a monster... and I don\'t want to become one... I just want to be... Ouyang... Yudu..." As the last word fell, the mist surrounding Ouyang Yudu erupted like a volcanic eruption, forcefully splitting the clouds in the sky.
The space around twisted, and bizarre ribbons of rainbow light extended from within.
"Ascension... That is... Cosmic Rainbow Light..." Ouyang Juemiao watched, stupefied, as the enchanting rainbow light spread towards the heavens.
Even the brilliant sun, high in the sky, seemed dull beneath the radiance of that rainbow light.
Yet this eerie Cosmic Rainbow Light appeared only in the patch of starry sky above the Human Mother Planet, not seen anywhere else in the universe.
