Chapter 605 - 599: Chishiniu’s Death
The World Honored was rather magnanimous; Lin Yuan and Elder Bai and those people repeatedly sabotaged the World Honored’s path to enlightenment.
After the World Honored attains enlightenment, he surprisingly doesn’t want to kill them but rather to "transform" them.
Of course, the World Honored definitely harbors no good intentions.
This so-called "transformation" is ninety-nine percent intended to make Lin Yuan and Elder Bai his slaves.
The essence of the World Honored is actually no different from the Buddha or the Demon Lord.
Because the methods the World Honored cultivates originally merge the ways of the Demon Lord and Buddha.
In the end, his path is certainly to domesticate all living beings to provide him with the Power of Faith.
The so-called Western Heaven Buddha Country should be a cage used to domesticate powerhouses.
The so-called transformation of Lin Yuan and Elder Bai is, in essence, just making Lin Yuan and Elder Bai his slaves to provide the Power of Faith.
"Alas!" Elder Bai sighed heavily and said to Lin Yuan, "I didn’t expect it to be so soon. Is the final battle coming with the World Honored’s imminent enlightenment?"
Judging by Elder Bai’s expression, it is obvious that the news of the World Honored’s impending enlightenment has brought him enormous pressure.
Lin Yuan glanced around at the members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance. This trouble caused by the Outer World People has led everyone’s morale to become very low.
Now, hearing that the World Honored only needs nine days to attain enlightenment, everyone present look dejected.
Just a few Outer World People caused them heavy losses.
Can they really stop the World Honored from attaining enlightenment?
"Do you want to sit and wait for death?" At that moment, Lin Yuan’s voice sounded in everyone’s ears.
Sit and wait for death?
Just now, quite a few had this thought in their hearts.
They believed it was difficult to stop the World Honored from attaining enlightenment and thought of giving up.
At that moment, Lin Yuan’s words echoed again, deafeningly reverberating in their ears: "You all just heard, the World Honored wants to ’transform’ us?"
"I don’t need to spell it out; everyone should guess what this so-called transformation is?"
"Once ’transformed,’ without a doubt, we will become slaves of the World Honored, and whether we can maintain our consciousness remains unknown."
"Gentlemen, if you are willing for this to happen, you can leave the alliance now and surrender to the World Honored."
After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, everyone present fell silent.
Reaching their level of cultivation, who is willing to become someone else’s slave?
If they were willing, why did they join the Anti-Buddha Alliance in the first place?
"But!"
"Can we stop the World Honored from attaining enlightenment?" a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse asked tentatively.
Lin Yuan glanced at him and coldly said, "When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it with soil. Even now, the World Honored is at his wit’s end and has no other means."
"As long as the World Honored hasn’t attained enlightenment, we continue to resist and there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Sitting and waiting for death leads only to a dead end."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, Elder Bai followed up saying, "Lin Yuan is right, we have no other choice!"
"Gentlemen, cheer up, in nine days, we will fight the World Honored and determine a victor."
After hearing Lin Yuan and Elder Bai’s words, the others present also came to their senses.
The worst outcome, for them, would be to be transformed by the World Honored, becoming his slaves.
Resisting the World Honored, even if unsuccessful, leads to the same outcome.
Thinking this through, everyone decided to fight to the bitter end.
On the other side, Chishiniu took advantage of Lin Yuan and the others’ low morale to try to sneak away.
However, just as he tore through space and tried to escape into the Void, Lin Yuan’s sword blocked his path.
"Lin..."
"Lin Yuan, what are you doing?"
"You promised me, I tell you everything, you let me go!" Chishiniu stretched his neck and questioned Lin Yuan, fearful Lin Yuan might renege on his promise.
At this point, Elder Bai and the others also looked at Lin Yuan.
They also wanted to know how Lin Yuan would handle Chishiniu.
In this world, one mustn’t make oaths carelessly.
Earlier, to get the information he wanted from Chishiniu, Lin Yuan swore not to kill him.
Now, if he breaks his promise, the oath will surely backfire on him!
Really let him go?
The people present felt unwilling, after all, quite a few companions died at Chishiniu’s hands.
Lin Yuan looked at Chishiniu with a faint smile and countered, "Think again, when did I say I’d spare you?"
"The oath I made was that I would absolutely not kill you!"
Chishiniu: "????"
Chishiniu was bewildered, thinking, what’s the difference?
However, among Elder Bai and the others, some had already realized.
Letting him go, and not killing him, the difference is significant.
"What do you mean?"
"What difference could there be?" Chishiniu retorted.
"The difference!"
"The difference is substantial!" With that, Lin Yuan swung his sword, severing one of Chishiniu’s arms: "Not killing you doesn’t mean not hurting you!"
"I can slice you apart sword by sword, turn you into a cripple."
With those words, Lin Yuan swung his sword again and again, quickly chopping off Chishiniu’s arms, leaving him seriously injured.
"Lin Yuan, you cunning fellow Lin Yuan."
"But even so, what can you do?"
"As long as I return to the Void, the Demon Lord can heal these wounds with the snap of his fingers!" Chishiniu thought to himself.
At this moment, Chishiniu was holding on with difficulty; he knew as long as he endured, returned to the Void, and met the Demon Lord, these injuries wouldn’t matter.
Lin Yuan was true to his word, slicing Chishiniu into a crippled form, leaving him gravely injured but barely alive.
Lin Yuan was mindful; he couldn’t truly kill Chishiniu.
If Chishiniu died by his hands, the oath would certainly backfire, severely injuring him.
With the World Honored’s potential enlightenment in nine days, and impending war, Lin Yuan couldn’t afford to be injured at this time.
Otherwise, he’d be trading sesame seeds for watermelons.
However, Lin Yuan not killing him didn’t mean others couldn’t.
Chishiniu, likened to a maggot, struggled to Lin Yuan’s side, feigning strength and said: "How about it, have you vented enough, will you let me go now?"
Chishiniu thought, Lin Yuan, just you wait, once you’re in my hands, I’ll repay today’s suffering a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
At this moment, Lin Yuan looked with amusement at Chishiniu, who looked like a maggot, and said, "My anger has mostly dissipated!"
"But theirs hasn’t."
With that, Lin Yuan said to Elder Bai and the others: "Your turn, seek vengeance, right your wrongs."
"I swore not to kill him, but you didn’t make any oath."
Suddenly, Chishiniu realized and began cursing at Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, you scoundrel!"
"You’re untrustworthy, you’re untrustworthy..."
However, it’s too late to say anything now; Elder Bai and the others have already surged forward.
