Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

53. Decent

"We never met again on Baiyun Pingshan, a rare sight in both the mortal and celestial realms; Mingyue Peak reappears on the Black River, but Lin Wushuang will not return without seeing Emei... Emei, Lin Wushuang has failed you! I am not reconciled!"

Lin Wushuang was already exhausted, his meridians were broken, and his foundation was destroyed. He saw that Teng Xie was also in a miserable state, but he was still able to stand up, and his body was radiating color, and his energy was constantly recovering.

Not wanting his body to suffer the humiliation of the demon, he let out a mournful cry and prepared to use his last strength to kill himself, exploding like Lian Emei, returning to dust and ashes, leaving nothing for the evil spirit.

Just as his palm was about to cover the top of his head, Teng Xie flashed over, and then, a flash of blade light appeared.

Lin Wushuang felt a chill on her neck and stared intently at Teng Xie, the demon!

However, before he could utter his final curse, Teng Xie calmly spoke, "I will bury you on Ping Mountain. No matter what, you are the strongest enemy I have ever faced. Regardless of what you think, respecting you is respecting myself."

Lin Wushuang suddenly realized that he had never left the other party any room for maneuver. He had forced the other party, and himself, to this point.

like……

Lin Wushuang never expected that his last thought in this life would not be one of resentment, anger, or the image of Lian Emei, but rather, something complex.

puff!

Teng Xie vomited another mouthful of blood, but it wasn't fresh blood; it was stagnant blood. His breathing gradually returned to normal.

He removed the Sharpness Tassel and took out the Key of Creation from his neck to examine it. This time, he was truly grateful for these two divine artifacts.

"War Commander".

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation occurred, revealing the figures of Tunfo Tongzi and Shesheng Tongzi, both of whom were watching the battle from the sidelines of the Road of No Return.

Both of them were filled with shock at this moment, but the difference was that Tunfo was shocked to the point of being stunned, while Shesheng was shocked to the point of being excited and invigorated.

"Is the War General alright?"

"There's nothing wrong now. However, with such frequent use of the Key of Creation, my body has absorbed a significant amount of the artifact's energy. I won't be using it again for a while."

With that, Teng Xie sheathed his sharp tassel, then with a flick of his hand, he captured Lin Wushuang. "Tunfo, send someone to inform Su Huanzhen, inviting him to meet me at Pingshan."

"Yes."

Afterwards, at the summit of Pingshan.

Su Huanzhen didn't know what Teng Xie wanted to talk to him about, or why they had arranged to meet at Pingshan.

"ah?!"

As soon as he arrived, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

However, next to Lian Emei's cenotaph, there was a newly dug grave. The tombstone was inscribed with eight large characters: "Tomb of Yun Piaomiao and Lin Wushuang," and in smaller characters: "Lian Emei's close friend."

Su Huanzhen's heart tightened. Seeing Teng Xie preparing Lin Wushuang's body for burial, he exclaimed, "General, this... this... how could this be? How could this be!"

"I fought him on a road of no return, a battle that determined both superiority and death, and this is the outcome."

"this!"

Teng Xie solemnly placed Lin Wushuang into the coffin, then gathered his strength and gently placed the coffin into the grave. Turning to Su Huanzhen, he spoke again, "Su Huanzhen, so it is. But why? Lin Wushuang was brought here by Tan Wuyu. I was forced by Lin Wushuang to decide my fate. I tried to negotiate, but he gave me no room to maneuver."

"……ah."

Su Huanzhen was torn by conflicting emotions, but in the end, he let out a bitter sigh and had no words to say.

He knew that Tan Wuyu had invited a master, but he didn't have much energy to pay attention to him. He also felt that with Teng Xie's skills and shrewdness, he wouldn't have an extreme conflict with Lin Wushuang.

But reality is so extreme, so unbearable.

"Su Huanzhen, this is the Bright Moon Sword."

Tengxie conjured Lin Wushuang's sword and handed it to Su Huanzhen.

"I heard that the Dao Realm once held a grand competition of three realms and ten thousand paths, and Cang and Lin Wushuang, the leaders of the Six Strings, both stood out and won the Bright Moon and White Rainbow Swords, and became close friends."

"Give this sword to someone from Xuanzong, and please pass on a message for me: if Cang Ruo wants revenge, feel free to come looking for me. I will not consider him a violator of the ceasefire agreement!"

Respect will be given, and attitude must be shown as well. Teng Xie's attitude is very clear: Su Huanzhen, I owe the righteous path nothing, and I will not care about the feelings of the righteous path. If you dare to cause trouble, I dare to die!

"what……"

Su Huanzhen sighed softly and said sincerely, "I know that General Zhan is forced to do this. Peace is hard to come by, but I am still willing to work with General Zhan to maintain it."

"That's why I invited you here, to give Lin Wushuang some final dignity. And if there are others who don't want dignity, I can only help them maintain it."

"Ah, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"Do you know the origins of Bu Nanji and Taici Xin, the sage?"

Su Huanzhen's heart skipped a beat. "General Zhan, have you heard of the Six Extremes Heavenly Bridge organization?"

Teng Xie's heart stirred. 'I haven't heard of him before. Does he have any noteworthy past?'

"This... I've only heard that it's an ancient organization that many reclusive masters admire."

"So you haven't accomplished anything noteworthy? Fine, let's talk about who owns this sky bridge, and why they claim the divine artifact belongs to him? If there's no convincing reason, I'll say I accidentally lost the Six Extremes Sky Bridge years ago."

"Uh, I don't know the name of that bridge master. I only know that he found the artifact with Senior Wolongxing and sealed it away. That's why there's talk of demanding its return."

"Wolongxing? Is that the spirit that guards the divine artifact?"

"That was a bit of your spiritual consciousness, senior. I don't know much about you either."

"Okay, actually I'm only slightly interested in how the artifacts came to be; I'm more interested in the artifacts themselves."

Su Huanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Has the War General found any other divine artifacts?"

Teng Xie conjured a sharp tassel with one hand, causing Su Huanzhen's gaze to freeze instantly. "You really have one!"

"Su Xianren seems quite worried that I might become a second Demon Lord because of the divine artifact?"

"this……"

"I might indeed be driven by ambition because of a divine artifact, but it's also highly unlikely that I would be driven by ambition because of a divine artifact."

Commander, why is your head so pointy?

"What do you mean by that, General?"

"In other words, I won't use the divine artifact lightly. You'll understand why once you try it."

Teng Xie handed over the Sharp Tassel, but Su Huanzhen couldn't figure it out. "You just gave it to me like this?"

"Or you could bring someone to me later and have them try it for you."

Su Huanzhen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need, I will just try out the wonders of this divine artifact."

Su Huanzhen took the Sharp Sense Talisman, put it on his head, and was immediately stunned.

a long time.

Su Huanzhen came to his senses and saw that the Sharp Senses Tassel had already returned to Teng Xie's hand.

"This thing is truly amazing. My senses have been greatly amplified, and my thinking has become exceptionally rapid. In just a moment, I have countless thoughts."

"A moment? You've been pondering for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Ah? Is that so? This thing can make people so engrossed, so absorbed, this..."

Su Huanzhen still didn't quite understand why Teng Xie said he wouldn't easily use the Sharp Sense Tassel. Although this item would accelerate the consumption of one's spirit, its benefits definitely outweighed its drawbacks.

"Does Su Xianren think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? I, however, feel that focusing too much on a single goal may not be a good thing."

It's like if someone wanted to deal with Su Xianren, such as Bei Chen Yuanhuang, even with the help of the Sharp Senses Tassel, it would be extremely difficult. They would still have to expend countless energy, and then their mind would be filled with only this one thing, with no room for anything else.

"Hmm... what you say makes a lot of sense. I truly admire your ability to see things so clearly and not be tempted by the artifact."
