Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

"To die only? To be reborn?"

The inner demon let out a sharp sneer, and the Blood God Sword in his hand suddenly swelled up, with dark killing intent spreading along the blade and condensing into a giant blade that blotted out the sky in mid-air.

"You think you can be reborn by killing me? Lin Che, look at your own hands!"

The inner demon swung his sword down suddenly, the giant blade tearing through space with a deafening roar as it cleaved towards Lin Che. Wherever the sword energy swept, the ground cracked open into bottomless ravines, and the illusions of those who had been slain reappeared, struggling and howling in the ravines.

"All this blood, all these lives, which one wasn't stained with your own hands?"

The voice of the inner demon seemed to come from all directions, carrying a seductive echo.

"Do you think you can hide your bloodlust by donning the cloak of righteousness? Back then, you slaughtered the entire Tianyun Star to kill Tianyunzi. Did I force you to do that?"

Lin Che swung his sword to parry, and the moment the giant blades collided, the impact caused his hand to split open, and blood dripped down the hilt of the sword.

As he watched the illusions distorted by the sword energy, the furious glare of Tianyunzi before his death, and the cries of the Tianyun Star experts as they were consumed by flames, these memories surged like a tide, almost overwhelming his consciousness.

"They deserve to die!"

Lin Che roared, and the Blood God Sword burst forth with a scarlet light, "What Tian Yunzi did to me back then already proves that he deserves to die!"

"Damn it?" The inner demon suddenly appeared in front of him, its nose almost touching his, its eyes flashing with madness.

"Ask the families you wiped out, ask the people who were displaced because of you, do they want to become stepping stones in your 'world'? Do they really deserve to die?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the inner demon suddenly changed tactics, and the Blood God Sword transformed into a black shadow, piercing straight for Lin Che's heart.

Lin Che hastily dodged to the side, but the sword blade slashed his left shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Black killing intent surged into the wound, instantly freezing his blood.

"Look, you can't even fool yourself."

The inner demon licked the blood from his sword, a sinister smile on his face: "You killed them only because they were in your way. Just like now, you want to kill me only because you're afraid I'll expose your hypocritical mask!"

"But I am the true God of Slaughter, and you are merely a pawn in my game!"

With one hand behind his back, the inner demon looked coldly at Lin Che in front of him, and then slowly said, "I just said that you are not worthy of becoming a god of death."

"As long as you let me take over your body, I will make you stronger and turn you into a true god of death, and I will personally kill everyone on the entire Vermilion Bird Star."

"Only in this way can you remain focused and not be interfered with by worldly desires, and you will not become a useless person who is obsessed with Li Muwan."

The inner demon grabbed Lin Che by the neck and slammed him hard onto the ground. The ground cracked visibly at a rapid pace under Lin Che's impact.

"What kind of useless woman do you have to achieve?" The inner demon glared menacingly with its copper bell-like eyes and said, "As long as I can take over your body, I will personally kill Li Muwan. Then you will understand that as a god of death, you should not have any emotions."

"you dare!"

Lin Che endured the excruciating pain and swung his sword back at the inner demon's neck. However, the inner demon neither dodged nor avoided the blow, allowing the blade to strike its body, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"it's useless."

The inner demon grabbed Lin Che's wrist, pressed the Blood God Sword against his own chest, and grinned savagely, saying, "You can't bring yourself to kill. Just like every time you kill someone, you think it's because you did what you wanted. But what you fear isn't killing itself, it's admitting that you enjoy killing!" "Only by letting me possess your body can you become stronger. Only then can you truly wash away your shame!"

"You'll understand then that the only person in this world who can help you is me, and if you want to regain your cultivation, only I can help you!"

"Noisy!"

Lin Che exerted his strength suddenly, and the Blood God Sword burst forth with unprecedented light, actually piercing a bloody hole in the Heart Demon's chest.

The inner demon laughed even more madly, black blood gushing from the wound, coiling around Lin Che's arm like countless venomous snakes burrowing into his skin.

"You have!"

The voice of his inner demons exploded in his mind.

"Back then, in the Land of Ancient Gods, when you personally slaughtered those powerful figures, didn't you feel a sense of satisfaction? Back then, when you saw those powerful figures begging for mercy in front of you, didn't you feel your blood boil?"

Lin Che's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and black killing intent spread along his blood vessels, turning the skin a strange bluish-black color wherever it passed.

He saw his hands turn into claws, his fingernails filled with dried blood, and he saw Li Muwan standing in the distance, looking at him with fearful eyes.

"No... Wan'er wouldn't see me like that..."

Lin Che shook his head desperately, trying to break free from the control of his inner demons. "I did all this to protect her! To protect the Hengyue Sect!"

"Protect?" The inner demon suddenly increased its strength, pressing him to the ground, the Blood God Sword pressed against his throat.

"You protect her by letting her watch you turn into a murderous maniac? You protect the Hengyue Sect by making the entire cultivation world see you as their enemy?"

The inner demon leaned down and whispered in Lin Che's ear, its voice as gentle as a lover's murmur, yet carrying the most vicious curse.

"Give up, Lin Che. Admit it, you and I are the same, both craving blood and power. Only by fully embracing the darkness can you truly become strong and forever protect those you want to protect, even if it means binding them to your side with chains."

"Yes, give up slowly. A true strong person should have no emotions and forget everyone. Right now, you can only rely on me."

"We crave blood, we crave slaughter, we crave to rule the entire Cave Realm! When that time comes, let alone the Heavenly Ascent Realm, we will surely reach even the tenth step of the Radiant Heaven Realm, and we will even be able to transcend the Heavenly Dao!!!"

As the inner demon's voice faded, Lin Che's consciousness began to blur, and black killing intent flooded his mind like a tide.

He felt as if he were standing atop a mountain of corpses, with Li Muwan lying at his feet, her eyes as cold as frost.

He seemed to see the Hengyue Sect being engulfed in flames, with Huanglong Zhenren, Zhou Ru, Hongdie... all reaching out to him in the flames, shouting "Executioner!"

"Do not……"

…………

Outside the cave, Li Muwan gently bit her lower lip, watching the energy fluctuations emanating from inside, and understood that her husband was recovering his cultivation.

"My husband, Wan'er has always believed that you will succeed. Wan'er will wait for you. No matter if the heavens and earth collapse or the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, as long as you are there, Wan'er will always wait for you, forever." (End of Chapter)
