Liu Shuangcan fell into a brief silence, but he did not speak anymore, simply staring at the Smiling Buddha. He was indeed curious, why would this monk co to ask for his help at this ti?
"I want you to help kill a few people..." said the Smiling Buddha.
"Are you insane?" Liu Shuangcan stared wide-eyed, "Look at now, do you think I can kill anyone for you?"
The smile on the Smiling Buddha’s face grew even more benevolent: "I want you to help kill Su Yang, Zhao Ping’an, Ye Wantong, Huo Qianfang. I want you to kill all those connected with Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng, Lian Wanxiong, and Su Yang!"
"What?" Liu Shuangcan was dumbfounded. What was this situation? What exactly was going on with this monk, why did he want him to kill these people?
However, there was one thing the monk was right about—Liu Shuangcan indeed wanted to do this. He really wanted to kill everyone connected with Su Yang, Zhao Ping’an, Lian Wanxiong, and Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng.
It was Su Yang who had beaten him into this state, and behind Su Yang was the support of Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong. Thus, in his heart, he too regarded Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong as his sworn enemies. If he could kill these people, letting him die would be worth it!
But the problem was, in his current state, who could he possibly kill?
Taking a deep breath, Liu Shuangcan said in a deep voice, "Are you mocking ?"
"Given your current situation, do I need to mock you?" the Smiling Buddha retorted.
"Then what exactly do you an?" Liu Shuangcan asked gravely, "You know I can’t kill those people!"
"Since I’m asking you to do this, it ans you must be capable of doing it." The Smiling Buddha spoke lightly with a smile, "Or perhaps, you should first ask who I am!"
"You... Who exactly are you?" Liu Shuangcan’s voice was filled with more doubt. He initially thought this monk was soone from Su Yang’s side, purposely mocking him. But now, it didn’t seem so at all.
Moreover, Liu Shuangcan had never seen any monk capable of speaking such murderous words. The key point was, while the monk said these words, his face always carried a smile, appearing completely harmless, which was what made it most terrifying.
"My na, I have forgotten myself. But, I have a nickna..." the Smiling Buddha watched Liu Shuangcan with a beaming smile: "called the Smiling Buddha!"
Liu Shuangcan’s eyes instantly widened, and he struggled to rise from the ground, kneeling on one leg and tremblingly said, "As long as the Immortal lets kill those people of Su Yang’s, I’m willing to go through fire and water for the Immortal, even if it costs my life!"
"Hahaha..." The Smiling Buddha imdiately laughed. He gently patted Liu Shuangcan’s shoulder and said, "Now, do you believe what I said?"
Liu Shuangcan vigorously nodded; he had heard of Smiling Buddha’s reputation and naturally knew of his capabilities, as well as the grudge between him and Ye Jiansheng. Moreover, tonight’s incident, where Smiling Buddha was intercepted by Lian Wanxiong, seed like he hadn’t gained any advantage. Thus, if Smiling Buddha wanted him to kill these people, there definitely wouldn’t be any falsehood.
"Very good!" Smiling Buddha nodded with satisfaction, walked away with his hands behind his back, and spoke softly, "You are practicing the secret technique of Black Demon, a Demonic Sect expert from three hundred years ago. However, Black Demon only left a part of it in the dungeons of your Liu Family; hence, your power can only reach this realm. I can impart to you the most powerful Devouring Technique among Black Demon’s secret techniques. Not only can this secret technique heal the ridians in your body, it can also help you swiftly enhance your strength."
Liu Shuangcan was overjoyed beyond asure. Not to ntion enhancing his strength, even if he could just recover his strength, it was already an imnse joy. If he could enhance his strength and defeat Su Yang, that was exactly what he dread of.
"Thank you, Immortal!" Liu Shuangcan hurriedly kowtowed.
"Do not rush your response." Smiling Buddha said, "Although this Devouring Technique can swiftly enhance your strength, there are many drawbacks. The process of cultivating this secret technique is extrely painful because you need to forcibly devour others’ power to progressively enhance your own strength. Indeed, each devouring feels like recreating your ridians. Can you endure such pain?"
Liu Shuangcan nodded vigorously and gritted his teeth, "I’m not even afraid of death; why should I fear this pain? as long as I can kill Su Yang and avenge myself. Even if I am dood to fall into the eighteen layers of hell for eternity, I am willing!"
"Very good!" Smiling Buddha nodded with satisfaction, then continued, "The second drawback of practicing this secret technique is that you will always bear a bad reputation. Because the process of devouring is extrely cruel, once discovered, you will be seen as a monster, even an absolute demon. At that ti, those so-called Taoist Guardians might take action to kill you. Can you endure that?"
"Taoist Guardians?" Liu Shuangcan’s face twisted into a ferocious smile, "In my life, the ones I hate the most are those Taoist Guardians. If they want to co and kill , good, I will devour them and make my power even greater!"
"If you have this resolve, then that is the best." Smiling Buddha smiled and patted Liu Shuangcan’s shoulder, "However, I must warn you. As an Earthly Immortal, I cannot personally kill those people like Su Yang. I sought you because you are not an Earthly Immortal, helping to kill these people. Do not enter the Earthly Immortal Realm before you kill these people. Otherwise, the way I lifted you up, I can also bring you down!"
Liu Shuangcan imdiately nodded, "Immortal, rest assured, as long as I can kill Su Yang, even if I must die imdiately afterward, I am willing. As for the Earthly Immortals, hmph, I do not care about them at all. Being able to take revenge is my fortune; anything else does not matter!"
"Just rember what you said!" Smiling Buddha placed his hand on top of Liu Shuangcan’s head, and said in a cold voice, "Hold your breath and focus; listen as I impart the secret technique."
Liu Shuangcan imdiately cald his heart and listened carefully to the secret technique Smiling Buddha imparted.
Half an hour later, Smiling Buddha lifted his hand. It was not just an oral transmission; he used his power to forcefully imprint this set of secret techniques directly into Liu Shuangcan’s mind.
Liu Shuangcan’s expression at that mont had a sense of being worlds apart. He sat cross-legged, following the thod described in the secret technique to breathe in and out briefly. Suddenly, he reached out his hand, grabbed an Earth Serpent lurking in the grass, and pulled it towards him.
Liu Shuangcan stuffed the Earth Serpent directly into his mouth and, using Black Demon’s Devouring Technique, he completely devoured the serpent, leaving no bones behind.
Smiling Buddha watched the entire process from the side. He could see that during the devouring, Liu Shuangcan’s entire body was trembling and his vital energy was surging.
This devouring was extrely painful, but Liu Shuangcan endured it with sheer willpower, which pleased Smiling Buddha greatly.
