Chapter 1035: Chapter 1025: Master…

After regaining his human form, Sun Daniu couldn’t even stand steadily.

Stumbling, he fell to one knee on the ground and only managed to steady himself with the support of his arms, preventing a complete collapse.

“Xiu, you…” After expending considerable effort, he finally managed to turn around.

The short blade was only a handle now, protruding, the azure blade crafted with some mysterious dharma method had fully penetrated his body.

After stabbing him in the back, Li Xiu had already retreated far away.

Her eyes filled with disgust and scorn, she stared straight at Sun Daniu: “I accompanied you for over ten years. Though I haven’t uncovered the mysteries of your Black Water Ming Worm Technique, I have realized that your power is closely related to human desires.”

“The blade that pierced your body is called the Desire-cutting Blade, specially forged for you.”

“Today, you are doomed to die, accept your fate, Sun Daniu!”

Her clothes were stained with blood, all remnants of Sun Daniu’s blood, as Li Xiu’s silhouette danced like a blood butterfly.

With just a few flickers, she bypassed Sun Daniu and appeared near the Quasi-Saint Chi You.

“Master!” She then bowed solemnly towards Chi You.

“Hmm!” With hands behind his back, Chi You nodded, visibly gratified.

Always expressionless, a rare smile graced his face: “For Wu Jiu’s revenge, you’ve endured over ten years as prey among tigers, well done, Xiu!”

Witnessing this turn of events, a mix of fury and confusion washed over Sun Daniu, as if he suddenly understood everything!

He fixed his gaze on Li Xiu not far away: “You call Chi You ‘Master,’ is Feng Wujiu your senior brother?”

“Our meeting wasn’t by chance, but a deliberate act by you.”

“Did you do all this just for Feng Wujiu’s revenge?”

“To share a boat for a hundred years, to share a bed for a thousand – we’ve been together for over ten years, don’t you have any feelings for me at all?”

“With such clean precision, you stabbed me with that blade… could you really do it?”

His glare fixed on Li Xiu, Sun Daniu initially radiated pure anger, though his words were only slightly cold.

But by the end, it’s as if he had lost all reason, his eyes turning blood red.

Supporting himself with his arms, kneeling with one knee on the ground, he seemed to try to rise, but all his effort resulted in falling directly to the ground.

Trying to open his mouth wide, he spit out a large cluster of worm eggs, but unfortunately, those eggs seemed to be dead objects due to an external force, unable to hatch into worms.

“Stop wasting your energy, Sun Daniu.”

“When you carried me on your back, I inserted plenty of things into your grotesque wounds.”

“Along with that blade piercing your heart, your power has been completely severed!”

With a disdainful sneer, Li Xiu glanced scornfully at Sun Daniu, continuing: “Feng Wujiu is not only my senior brother, but also my Dao companion. I’ve been with him for ten thousand years, far beyond the mere ten or so years with you!”

“Originally, I intended to seek vengeance myself without alerting Master.”

“But alas, your Black Water Lineage’s survival skills mean that even a Little Golden Immortal like me or a peer Daluo would struggle to kill you completely.”

“Regarding the secret that you possessed the Innate Spiritual Treasure, Cosmic Light Tower, who do you think let it leak out? It was me!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI~Fire.net

“Inviting you to rest at the base of these great mountains was just to wait for my Master to arrive. Now, telling you all this serves one purpose – to let you taste true despair!”

Hatred can warp human nature. For over ten years with Sun Daniu, each day spent enduring and accommodating tigers, Li Xiu had bottled up so much frustration.

Now, with her ultimate revenge in sight, the indescribable ecstasy painted her beautiful face with a sinister glee.

“Xiu, I know you’ve suffered many grievances. This man is yours to deal with, however you wish to kill or flay!”

“With me here to guard, he’s like a fish on a chopping board, powerless to cause any trouble.”

“As for me, coming here and acquiring an Innate Spiritual Treasure made this trip worthwhile.”

Seeing Li Xiu in this state, a glimpse of conflict surfaced on Chi You’s face.

He sighed deeply and after instructing Li Xiu, he extended a hand towards Sun Daniu and grasped into the void.

After Sun Daniu fell, the floating Cosmic Light Tower, left unclaimed, was seized into his hand.

This treasure, after being tamed by Sun Daniu, had recognized him as its master.

Yet, as Chi You forcibly grasped it in his hand, the tower struggled fiercely, though after a brief moment, its resistance was subdued by Chi You.

“What a treasure, involving the Law of Time…”

Though Sun Daniu was not dead yet and Chi You hadn’t fully subdued the tower, he already had an understanding of its basic uses.

Gazing at the Cosmic Light Tower in his hand, his face was brimming with joy and smile.

Seeing her Master handing over Sun Daniu to be dealt with, a cruel smile spread across Li Xiu’s face as she approached Sun Daniu step by step.

“Boom boom boom… boom boom boom…” Just then, the entire region started shaking violently for unknown reasons.

Chi You, checking over the Cosmic Light Tower, was briefly stupefied, then looked up to the distance.

Li Xiu, who was walking towards Sun Daniu, also halted, speechless, staring towards the source of the tremor.

Even Sun Daniu, who couldn’t muster strength to rise from the ground, had his attention drawn to the sudden commotion.

Their position was at the foot of the twin mountains, and now, those two conjoined mountains began to split apart from the middle, swayed by some majestic force.

When the commotion started, the gap between the two mountains was merely a foot or two wide.

In the blink of an eye, under the watchful eyes of Chi You and Li Xiu, the gap expanded wide enough to allow a carriage to pass freely.

Most shockingly, within the gap appeared an unremarkable, lean figure.

With a cigarette the thickness of a pinky finger in his mouth, emitting white smoke, the figure just appeared in Chi You and Li Xiu’s sight, and in the next instant, seeming casual in his stride, he was already beside them.

“Master…” Upon seeing this figure, Sun Daniu wept with joy, his voice choked with emotion.
