Before this man who was like a god or a demon.
I feel like a butterfly stuck in a spider web; no matter how much I struggle, it's all in vain.
"What? Don't want to?"
Su Xin looked at her tearful, pitiful appearance, but his expression remained unchanged.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to."
"I'm the kind of person who never likes to force people to do things they don't want to do."
"Whether I kill Tang San or not is just a matter of lifting a finger for me."
Whether you offer a sacrifice or not... it's all the same.
Su Xin spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
But it is precisely this understatement that makes people feel most desperate!
Because this means that in his eyes, Tang San's life is completely insignificant.
He wanted to kill, so he killed.
There is absolutely no reason needed.
Ah Yin looked at the cold and ruthless man in front of her, her heart filled with endless fear and... helplessness.
Then he raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Why should I trust you?"
"If I offer the sacrifice, but you go back on your word, then... wouldn't I be..."
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
Su Xin's gaze grew increasingly cold.
"Plop" sound.
Ah Yin could no longer hold on, her legs buckled and she collapsed to her knees.
It's all over.
She had no choice.
She dared not gamble. She dared not risk her son's life on the elusive "mood" of this devil.
All she can do now is offer herself as a sacrifice.
She used her humble life to exchange for her son's slim chance of survival.
"Alright...I'll offer myself as a sacrifice..."
"I only ask that you... keep your promise..."
"If the mistress doesn't bother you again, please... let him go."
Ah Yin suddenly became eerily calm, as if she had already accepted her cruel fate.
"I keep my word."
Su Xin replied calmly.
He really didn't intend to kill Tang San right now.
That hypocrite is annoying, but it's more fun to keep him around and play with him slowly, isn't it?
Su Xin didn't even bother to send it.
With the life level of his second martial soul "Heaven", no oath of any kind on this continent can bind him.
He kept his promise simply because he wanted to.
He broke his promise simply because he wanted to.
Everything depends solely on his own will.
They received Su Xin's guarantee, which wasn't really a guarantee.
Ah Yin finally found a tiny bit of comfort in her heart.
She slowly stood up from the ground and tidied her somewhat messy long blue hair.
Then I glanced in the direction of Shenhun Village.
"Hao... farewell... forgive me for not being able to return to your side..."
"The other woman...my child..."
"Mom is sorry... Mom can't be there for you and watch you grow up..."
"You must...you must live well..."
Having done all this, Ah Yin finally let go of all her obsessions.
A poignant smile appeared on her face.
She then turned around and looked at the man who had been watching everything indifferently from beginning to end.
"Young Master Su, I'm ready."
Upon hearing this, Su Xin didn't utter a single unnecessary word.
He simply summoned his second martial soul—Heaven—once again.
The enormous black-clad, silver-haired humanoid spirit phantom reappeared behind him.
Two ferocious black dragons emerged from behind, radiating an unparalleled pressure that could subdue all things.
Ah Yin looked at that god-like figure, and the last trace of fear in her heart completely vanished.
To die at the hands of such a powerful figure is, in a way, an... honor.
A dazzling blue-gold light suddenly burst forth from her body!
An unimaginably vast amount of life energy erupted from her body!
The sacrifice begins!
Countless blue-gold specks of light emanated from her body, dyeing the entire valley a dreamlike blue-gold hue.
Ah Yin's body, in that dazzling light, began to become increasingly transparent.
All that energy and light was converging frantically in Su Xin's direction!
Farewell... my love...
In the moment before consciousness completely dissipated.
Ah Yin's mind was filled with only this last sentence, words brimming with reluctance and longing.
There was a loud noise!
Ah Yin's body completely transformed into a shower of light, dissipating into the world.
All that energy eventually coalesced into a red 100,000-year soul ring in front of Su Xin!
And a blue-gold seed, only the size of a thumb, slowly fell to the ground.
And just then.
A long-awaited system notification sounded in Su Xin's mind.
[Task 4: Attach additional spirit rings to the martial soul, completed!]
[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully hunted a 100,000-year-old soul beast and obtained a 100,000-year-old soul ring!]
Such a feat is unprecedented and will likely remain so! The system's admiration for you is like a surging river, never to be surpassed!
A series of system notification sounds flooded Su Xin's mind.
Su Xin's lips twitched involuntarily as he heard the familiar notification tone, which was full of flattery.
This idiotic system is just as...brainless as ever.
I'm clearly asking them to sacrifice themselves, okay? What does this have to do with hunting?
"Great Soul Master cultivation? That's an awful insult."
"Forget it, why bother arguing so much with an artificial intelligence?"
Su Xin was too lazy to complain and focused his attention on the rewards for the later tasks.
[Settling task rewards...]
[Reward 1: Increase the age of all the host's spirit rings by 5,000 years!]
[Reward 2: Due to the host's exceeding the mission requirements, an additional reward is hereby granted! The age limit of all the host's spirit rings will be increased by an additional 5,000 years!]
The moment Su Xin saw these two reward messages, his heart skipped a beat!
All spirit rings have their age increased by ten thousand years?!
This is...this is amazing!
He subconsciously summoned his first martial soul, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades.
With a clear, resonant clang, the black demonic blade, filled with an aura of darkness and destruction, appeared in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, nine spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet!
Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
This was his previous spirit ring configuration for his first martial spirit.
Although it may seem shocking to others.
But in Su Xin's own opinion, those four spirit rings were really... not presentable.
But now...
With the system reward credited to my account.
The nine spirit rings flashed with light!
In just a few breaths.
