164: Deals and Choices, Death and the Girl

Evil Mr., in whom the will of the Yin Lord was accurately residing, twisted his expression and let out a sinister, strange laugh.

The Sky Locking Blood Moon appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand, instantly fully equipping him, but he did not launch an attack.

An evil, filthy voice appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind.

"Did you see? You human brat who ruined My good deeds and stole My power."

"This is My Black Curse."

"Whether it's your friends, family, or partners, they will all be buried in this Black Curse, without exception!"

"Swish!"

Jiang Yuan swung his blade.

Aurora Flame Slash!

The black flame slash, carrying a terrifying Aura, tore through the air and instantly appeared before the Yin Lord.

A dark vortex appeared, instantly swallowing the slash.

"His evil essence is not bad, but he is still too young.

Faced with the threat of death, he was so terrified that he easily agreed to My transaction.

Now this body and power are all Mine."

The Yin Lord laughed proudly.

"You're next."

"Boom!"

Another Purgatory fire dragon lunged at him.

It was swallowed by the dark vortex again.

Countless golden Yellow Springs Underworld Chain shot out from the void, carrying the cold wind of Hell.

The Yin Lord raised his hand.

The evil, dark will spread, transforming into a barrier that blocked all attacks.

This was the difference in Realm level.

Looking at Jiang Yuan, whose golden eyes were burning fiercely and whose expression was cold.

The Yin Lord's eyes were filled with greed and evil: "As expected of the vessel I favor, strong and perfect."

"Let's make a deal, human brat."

"I refuse."

Jiang Yuan said coldly, directly entering the [Burst Star] state, and a ten-hit Aurora Flame Slash directly blasted away the dark vortex, severing the left arm of Evil Mr., in whom the Yin Lord's will was residing.

This scene made Jiang Yuan freeze for a moment, feeling a bit surprised.

"I cannot use too much power, otherwise I will be discovered immediately."

"This is the final warning."

The Yin Lord completely disregarded the loss of Evil Mr.'s body and continued, "Don't you want to get rid of the Black Curse?"

"Now I'll give you a chance."

"It's also the only chance for you to save everyone."

Jiang Yuan, who had instantly flashed before him and swung his blade, paused.

...

A moment later.

The gray barrier silently dissipated.

Evil Mr., in whom the Yin Lord was residing, was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Yuan stood on top of the building, holding a black crystal that pulsed like a heart.

"So that's how it is..."

Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

"This is the choice you mentioned before..."

The Gambler's strange figure emerged from the wall behind him.

He crossed his arms and smiled, "That's right.

But that's not what I saw, it was an revelation from My Lord."

"So... which path will you choose?"

Jiang Yuan was silent.

"It seems you haven't made up your mind yet."

"Go see the girl you made a promise with, perhaps you will make a choice.

By the way, her life thread is about to reach its end..."

Jiang Yuan's pupils constricted, and he suddenly turned his head to look.

"It's you?!"

The Gambler gave an evil smile.

Jiang Yuan was instantly enraged.

Divine Evasion!

A Divine Evasion strike in the [Burst Star] state directly tore slight cracks in space.

A concentrated beam of energy shot out like a star cannon, penetrating and shattering all buildings in a straight line within dozens of miles!

The Gambler's sinister voice echoed on the rooftop.

"That was close, that was close."

"Hurry up and go, if you're late, you won't even be able to see her one last time."

"I will definitely kill you!"

Jiang Yuan said word by word, his killing intent boiling.

The Gambler chuckled.

Jiang Yuan activated the wind gods blessing's extreme speed skill, five times the extreme speed, instantly transforming into a golden light and disappearing from the spot.

The Gambler's figure reappeared on the rooftop, looking at the disappearing golden light and sighing, "No matter how fast your movement speed is, you cannot outrun time and fate."

"Everything is already decided."

"Some things, you only know their importance after losing them."

...

At Guan Xiaoxiao's home.

Guan Father and Guan Mother were outside, washing their faces with tears.

Covered in black spots and knowing she didn't have much time left, she locked herself in the room, wearing the maid outfit she had carefully prepared, and lay on the bed, quietly waiting for death to arrive.

Suddenly!

"Bang!"

The wall shattered, and light shone into the dim room.

Guan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with difficulty.

In her extremely blurry vision, a figure of light walked out from the light.

"Who... is it?"

That person walked to the bed and held her head.

Feeling a familiar sensation.

Tears welled up in Guan Xiaoxiao's eyes.

The young man said, "Don't die."

"You haven't fulfilled the promise you made to me, you haven't climbed Xingluo Mountain yet, I won't let you die!"

Golden flames appeared in the young man's palm, and a strong purifying force erupted.

The black spots on Guan Xiaoxiao's body rapidly receded.

She regained some strength and her mind cleared up a bit.

Looking at the handsome young man before her, a smile appeared on Guan Xiaoxiao's beautiful little face, which was covered in black spots.

"You've changed... I almost didn't recognize you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get better."

"I really want to go back to when we were children..."

Guan Xiaoxiao trembled and reached out to him.

The next second.

Dazzling black light erupted from her chest, and countless black threads instantly spread throughout her body.

"!"

In Jiang Yuan's constricting pupils.

Guan Xiaoxiao's hand stopped in mid-air, and her small, slender body shattered like a delicate piece of porcelain.

The invisible flower of life withered and fell.

Jiang Yuan stared blankly at the scene before him, reaching out his hand in confusion.

Guan Xiaoxiao's body, which had shattered into powder, slipped through his fingers.

In an instant.

Countless memories with Guan Xiaoxiao flooded his mind.

Guan Xiaoxiao, that tsundere, proud, lively, sleepy girl who liked to wear her hair in a bun and whose smile was like the morning sunlight...

She died?!

She died?!
