Chapter 475 Ending
All that could be seen was the sword's shadow hanging high in the rain, like a silver thread that suddenly exploded and approached him in the blink of an eye!

Only then did the sound of footsteps hitting the puddle reach his ears.

—The sword was faster than lightning.

Even before it reached it, it felt a kind of illusion as if it had been 'cut'.

Wait a minute, how can I have a physical body?
However, there was no time for it to think. Seeing the sword blade coming at it, it could only twist its body into an arc to barely avoid the sword.

However, the man did not pursue, but simply flicked his sword, slicing off a piece of the boss's body, and laughed.

"Don't be in such a hurry. I don't want to kill you—at least not now. There's wine and meat here. Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk?"

The words were clearly provocative. The thing's belly twitched, and a round object was pushed out from below, then suddenly opened its head when it reached the top.

—That was an eye.

Bloodshot eyes.

Those eyes stared intently at Zhou You, then the invisible mouth suddenly opened wide and let out a deafening roar!

For an instant.

From the cracks in the house, the fissures in the walls, and even in all the narrow places, countless sticky, oily substances seeped out. As soon as they hit the ground, they transformed into all sorts of strange shapes, full of sharp teeth and claws, and pounced on Zhou You.

But the person just kept smiling.

"Is this what you expelled before you came in? You were quite cautious, but..."

He shook his head, this time his aura was filled with murderous intent, and then casually swung his hand out.

Everything that encountered the crimson mist was instantly disintegrated, shattered, and scattered on the ground, as if it were a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Only then did that thing finally realize it.

This seemingly ordinary young man standing before it, just how terrifying was he?

—Am I the monster or are you the monster?!

It had no teeth, but it still managed to clench its teeth. However, it was not one to wait for death. It stretched its hands back sharply, and then, using its offspring as cover, it swiftly and unexpectedly targeted Zhou You's weakness!

however.

Someone simply took a step back.

However, the sword's edge sliced ​​through the rain, instantly bursting into countless pear blossoms—as if in the blink of an eye, it had pierced its two arms, leaving them riddled with holes!
Only then did the teasing voices come through.

"You seem quite familiar with that move, so let me give you a suggestion—just a suggestion, nothing more—next time before you make that move, you could yell 'Gum-Gum!', it might actually work wonders."

Although it couldn't understand what the other person was saying, it understood the meaning.

This is an insult, a blatant and unequivocal insult.

In an instant, its eyes turned crimson.

Someone watched, laughed, and continued to mock relentlessly.

"You're getting impatient already? Sigh, the saying goes, 'Subordinates resemble their masters,' and if this is all you've got, your so-called master is probably trash too."

However, a sudden sound of bubbles bursting came from that body.

Although it is not human language, the meaning it conveys is very clear.

You will not be allowed to insult the Lord!

With this roar, the liquid that had been churned on the ground began to boil again, and the oily sheen mixed with the rainwater, turning into countless sharp spikes in the next second!
Zhou You raised an eyebrow, withdrew, and stepped back, but his eyes finally became more serious.

"Is this a life-or-death struggle? Heh, I didn't expect you to be so loyal."

But just as he looked up at the sky, the voice abruptly stopped and turned into a chuckle.

—After being forced to use this move, the thing actually conjured several wings covered in membranes behind it, and then flew into the sky without looking back—

"Interesting. Feigning anger to use as an excuse to escape? It seems you haven't learned anything else during your time on earth, but you've certainly learned this one thing perfectly."

Zhou You sighed, and his feigned provocation vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this flying contraption, he instinctively wanted to take out the Moon-Broken Bow, but then shook his head.

There was no moon tonight. Although he had learned his lesson and always carried several talisman swords made of talisman paper, in this heavy rain, they would probably be soaked through as soon as he took them out.

So we just let it go?
No way, I set this trap on purpose, how could I let them go so easily?

After thinking for a moment, he patted Duanxie on the shoulder.

"Old man."

Upon hearing the call, the sword trembled, as if it had been impatiently waiting and was about to be drawn on its own.

Faced with this guy who suddenly changed his personality and became unruly, Zhou You could only sigh.

"Don't rush, let me tell you something first—I need to keep this guy alive so I can gather information. You absolutely cannot kill him, can you do that?"

This time, the sword trembled more slowly, taking a full six or seven seconds before it reluctantly gave its reply.

Zhou You finally laughed. He drew his sword, but instead of striking, he lightly tossed it into the heavy rain, and before it fell, he made a sword-finger gesture.

"Duh!"

In a blink of an eye.

The sword stopped in mid-air, its blade aimed at the 'thing' that had already flown high into the air.

Then.

Cut through the sky!

It was as if even the torrential rain was cut through, the sword blade went straight ahead, and in the blink of an eye it pierced through the flying body, even exploding a huge gash in the process!
This is the ability that Zhou You acquired in the previous script.

The Big Dipper Celestial Star Tempering Method

The ability to forge swords into flying swords was once one of the fundamental techniques of Taoism.

Since acquiring it, he has been nourishing it with his own essence and blood, and now, he has finally managed to mold Duanxie into a character that is beginning to take shape.

Unfortunately, the time for cultivation was ultimately too short, and after each use, most of the magical power in his body would be drained.

"As expected of a cultivation method, this is definitely not something ordinary people can use."

In just that moment, Zhou You's face turned as pale as paper, but instead of resting, he quickly formed a sword incantation, which brought Duan Xie, who was still eager to continue, back.

The object had already crashed to the ground, its force so great that it even smashed a hole in the floor.

Fortunately, he didn't die.

When Zhou You ran downstairs, the guy was still on his last breath. His slippery body seemed to still want to reassemble, but under the ravages of the blood demon, it not only failed to heal, but instead began to collapse more and more violently.

Damn it, Duan Xie is getting more and more disobedient—he is indeed alive, but what's the difference between him and dead?

Zhou You didn't waste any time; instead, he squatted down beside him and asked earnestly.

"Hey, I have something to ask you."

—The sound of a bubble bursting, but this time it was all meaningless.

However, Zhou You didn't pay any attention to it and continued speaking.

“I know you, and I know you’re just a vanguard. After all, you couldn’t have done the corruption that sorcerer did, and you couldn’t have orchestrated this whole thing on your own. So I only have a few questions to ask.”

"Why are you here in reality? And why did your master go to such lengths to release you? What are you plotting?"

The sound of the bubbles bursting grew faster and faster, like the last gasps of a dying person. The thing struggled to turn its head and look at someone.

That ordinary face, with its furrowed brows, was reflected in his pupils.

moment.

For some reason, it suddenly started laughing.

It was no longer the bursting of a bubble, but a loud, jarring laugh, just like a person's.

"I understand now, I finally understand!"

The laughter grew louder and louder, as if they had finally realized something.

"My lord, I finally understand!" Hatred,感慨, 喜欣, 哀鸣.

All emotions seemed to be poured into this laughter.

Zhou You frowned, sensing something was wrong, and took a step back.

However, the other person completely ignored him and just kept laughing wildly.

"Is this your plan? Is this everything you've orchestrated? I—"

Before he could finish speaking, the thing suddenly began to throb and swell up violently.

Zhou You had seen it several times before, so he naturally recognized what kind of move it was.

Duan Xie swung out once more, but this time he didn't use it as a flying sword. Instead, he manipulated the dissipating evil energy to lock the thing inside tightly.

Russia.

A muffled thud came from within.

Zhou You stood there for a while before swinging his sword and dispelling the bloodlust—leaving only some charred remains, like burnt embers.

"After all that acting, just to prevent it from resorting to desperate measures, I never expected it to end up like this."

Despite saying that, he still frowned and pondered what the other person had just said.

"Plotting, a conspiracy? Or are you looking at me... Hmm, I feel like I've been caught in a pretty bad vortex."

However, in the end, he put it aside, turned around, swept aside a carpet that was already soaked, and revealed a cellar door.

Peel off the yellow talisman pasted on top, then forcefully pull open the cellar entrance.

Then, Lin Chen and his daughter's faces appeared before them.

The matter is actually quite simple. Lin Chen's daughter has been cursed, so it's really difficult to move her. Even if she were moved, it would be hard to settle her down. So Zhou You simply came up with a plan to use a substitute – the real person is still in this villa, and a paper figure is used as a substitute outside. When that guy comes and exposes it, he will naturally think that Lin Huan has already moved, and that he has fallen into a trap.

This way, we can fight alone, and we can also prevent this guy from taking hostages and doing some kind of robbery and rescue operation.

As he scrambled out with his daughter in a disheveled state, Lin Chen, ignoring his own rain-soaked head, asked tremblingly.

"Master Zhou, have you dealt with that thing?"

Compared to Lin Chen, who was so excited that he was incoherent, Zhou You remained quite calm.

"Yes, it's been taken care of. You can rest assured."

As if a heavy burden had been lifted, Lin Chen collapsed to the ground with a thud, but then he remembered something and asked anxiously.

"Master, what about the curse on my daughter?"

Zhou You glanced at the little girl, who still looked like a doll, and then casually remarked.

"It should be nothing serious. Although I don't know much about magic, that sorcerer only wanted materials, not to kill people directly. So the curse on your daughter shouldn't be a serious one. She's just unable to speak or move for the time being, but she's still conscious and has a vague awareness of her surroundings. She should recover in about ten days."

"That's good, that's good."

However, before he could finish expressing his gratitude, Lin Chen suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Master, you just said that Huan'er is conscious?"

Zhou You's answer was also perfectly reasonable.

"Yeah, that's right."

"So she already knew what we heard before?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

Lin Chen immediately became anxious.

At this moment, he looked flustered, showing no trace of the imposing demeanor he had displayed when they first met, and he shouted anxiously.

"Master, I deliberately kept all of this from Huan'er. If she knew, given her personality, she would never let me off the hook. Wait, you deliberately chose Huan'er's room as the location for our conversation. You did it on purpose!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou You readily admitted it.

"Yes, that's right, I did it on purpose, so what?"

The meaning is clear.

What do you want?

What can you do about it?

What are you going to do about it?
At this moment, Lin Chen also came to his senses—that sorcerer had almost caused his family to be destroyed, and he could not afford to offend such an even stronger evil star.

But he immediately changed his tune and began to cry.

"Daoist Master, you don't know Huan'er's personality. If she finds out about these things, she will definitely sever all ties with me. She's my only daughter."

"I know."

Unexpectedly, Zhou You spoke up directly.

"Mr. Lin, you probably don't know this, but in addition to being able to see things that shouldn't be seen, the body with the ability to see the underworld has another talent: the ability to subconsciously foresee certain dangers."

Someone suddenly sighed.

“I went to see that junior again later. According to him, your daughter had only recently joined their club and was one of those who strongly opposed the initial expedition—which means that your daughter subconsciously knew she would be implicated, but still wanted to save these innocent people.”

"Honestly, I personally think that with your personality, Mr. Lin, you're really not good enough for such a wonderful child. That's why I thought I'd let her know the details too—that's it, goodbye."

Seeing that Zhou You was about to leave, Lin Chen suddenly looked up and called him back.

"and many more!"

Someone turned around and asked casually.

"What's wrong again?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and quickly composed himself before speaking earnestly.

"Master, with your abilities, you must have methods to make people forget some memories, right?"

"Hmm, there is some truth to that in feng shui. What's wrong? Do you want me to erase this memory from your daughter's mind?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen said this first, but looking at Zhou You's face, he suddenly said sadly.

"Master, you probably don't know this, but I'm going to die soon."

"Ok?"

Lin Chen said.

“I’ve kept something from you. When I made that deal, I not only sacrificed one of my descendants, but also decades of my lifespan. I recently went for a checkup and found out something—pancreatic cancer, late stage.”

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Master, I don't expect you to save me, nor do I expect you to prolong my life. I just want to spend my last moments with my daughter. After I die, you can tell her anything you want, I just beg you."

Suddenly, Zhou You burst into laughter.

"Mr. Lin, you have a family, but others don't? You want to enjoy family life, but what about the families of students who have lost their children? Where will they find their children?"

"You should know that the only reason I didn't kill you is because you weren't one of the masterminds, and you weren't worth killing—after all, this is modern society, and I don't want to go through the trouble of cleaning up the mess myself—so, goodbye."

Lin Chen could only watch helplessly as Zhou You took the first step, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something and quickly called out.

"Wait, Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou, you're hired by me. Don't you want your payment? That's a lot of money."

The sound abruptly stopped at the word 'money'.

Zhou You pulled out the blank check, waved it, and then suddenly a flame appeared in his hand, setting the paper ablaze despite the torrential rain.

Ashes danced in the air, eventually mingling with the rain and settling in the mud, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

Then, he waved goodbye and never looked back.
