Chapter 1138: Chapter 182: Reincarnated (6)
Rush forward, rush forward, at this moment Mo Mo’s only thought was to advance.
He charged to the front of Ye Fei and grabbed his collar, pushing Ye Fei against the wall at once.
The force was immense, at the instant Ye Fei’s body slammed against the wall, the room seemed to tremble, and stone flakes fell.
“Brother Mo… what are you doing?” It was as if he could not prehend Mo Mo… Ye Fei, at this moment, looked at him with a similar tone, asking the same question.
The collar that was grabbed, twisted tightly, constricting Ye Fei’s neck.
“What, cut off all evil…”
“Brother Mo?”
“What to make it clear…”
Ye Fei’s face slowly darkened.
Mo Mo took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, “You’re just a madman who kills for fun! You’re the terrifying person you once spoke of!”
“You still think these demons are innocent?” Ye Fei’s voice became calm… as if it wasn’t he who was being strangled.
“These people… the elderly, men and women, young and old… such a small one!” Mo Mo angrily questioned: “Even if they’re demons, they live here, they don’t provoke anyone, what wrong have they done! They’ve hurt no one!”
“Decades ago, this village was plagued by a bacterial disease.” Ye Fei said nonchalantly, “This disease was caused by a village shaman and her foreign lover, with many purposes. Under their conspiracy, do you know what the people of this village did? Roused by them, they used live offerings for sacrifice.”
Mo Mo’s pupils widened, the tightened collar seemed to loosen slightly.
“And the one sacrificed, was the mother of Lv Hai, the owner of the hotel where we stayed.”
“A living person, dead for a foolish reason. For decades, this group lived like this, having children, enjoying their old age.”
“I sometimes wonder, can time dilute this kind of evil… Time even allows happiness to bloom in the soil of evil. Brother Mo, do you also think they should continue living peacefully, this so-called… uh, this stable life they’ve never done anything, never harmed anyone?”
Ye Fei’s words left Mo Mo terrified, in the moment of hesitation, Ye Fei struck a palm onto Mo Mo’s chest, sending him flying, collapsing on the stone slab in the courtyard.
“You still don’t know, do you? That girl who served you, what did you say descendants of demons who are not bad did?”
Mo Mo held his chest, coughed up blood, and watched Ye Fei walk over slowly.
He said, “That doctor in the clinic is Chaosheng Lv, the child of those two people’s affair. Your girl, I don’t know how she knows this secret, nor do I care. But if not for me… actually even if I didn’t act, they’d all be dead. Everyone here.”
“What, what are you saying?”
“Your girl planned to spread the virus again, letting those who made mistakes back then reap their bitter fruits. Brother Mo, you were deceived.”
“Impossible… impossible!!”
“There’s nothing impossible in this world… were you enchanted by her, or attracted to her pitiful appearance? Or perhaps, did your heart move for her in that woodshed behind the hotel?”
“You followed me!”
“I was protecting you.” Ye Fei said calmly, “Brother Mo, you are kind, just, such good qualities, how can you let them be exploited and tainted by evil. I was thinking that after this matter is over, we could have a good drink together.” Ye Fei took two more steps forward, already standing before Mo Mo. Mo Mo moved instinctively… back.
Ye Fei sighed, “Brother Mo, once the seed of evil is sown, it will only take root, sprout, grow, even if you chop down what’s grown, it will still continue storing itself, and then continue to sprout, grow, endlessly. So the best way to eliminate evil, is to turn over the soil, dig up its seed. Only when it’s eradicated from the source, will it naturally be clean. Even if the people of this village are the seed of evil, it will be passed down generation after generation, more and more, until one day in the future, it will be impossible to eradicate. So it’s not okay.”
“One bears the consequence of one’s actions… Even if they made mistakes decades ago, it shouldn’t implicate innocent descendants.” Mo Mo struggled to stand up, “Even if evil thoughts flourish in the future, what are those of us who wield power for? To just watch? This… is not the reason for your wanton slaughter! Ye Fei, you’re just a madman, I won’t let you leave, it’s too dangerous for you to have power.”
“Is that so…” Ye Fei sighed, nodded at Mo Mo, and his face instantly darkened, “It turns out you have been corrupted… then, there’s no need to keep you.”
Mo Mo roared, shook his hands, and dozens of talismans shot out from his sleeves… but Ye Fei was faster.
Faster than the mana he injected into the talismans!
That blood-stained palm pierced through the talismans, striking Mo Mo’s chest again… this time, clearly with force.
Mo Mo only felt his ribs in his chest break as if shattered, spewed a mouthful of blood, and flew straight out the door… Ye Fei’s power far exceeded his imagination!
He flew out, landed among the bodies outside the clinic’s entrance, yet before he could react, Ye Fei shot out like a ghost through the door, another palm aimed at Mo Mo, “Brother Mo, in your next life, make sure you keep yourself clean!”
At this moment, a figure rushed out, unexpectedly colliding with Ye Fei, causing the strike to miss Mo Mo… Simultaneously, Mo Mo only felt being pulled up, sprinting away towards the distant street.
“Lv Yiyun!”
He hadn’t expected, the one to save him would be Lv Yiyun… or rather, the demonized Lv Yiyun!
Now Lv Yiyun’s demonized features almost entirely obscured her human part.
“Get away first!” Lv Yiyun hastily said, dragging Mo Mo into a wild escape.
Over there, Ye Fei, whose strike missed, slowly stood up, watching the two flee into the distance, “Brother Mo, it seems you’ve truly been corrupted, willingly consorting with demons.”
Ye Fei exhaled, raised his hand, and struck out from afar, “Three Parts Return to the Origin.”
A fierce wind swept through, a terrifying force akin to a mountain-removing sea-tide, instantly tearing up the stones of the street—finally, fiercely striking Ye Yi and Mo Mo!
The two were unable to withstand this terrifying force, both being sent flying… Mo Mo’s eyes even went black, nearly slipping into unconsciousness.
When the brief dizziness passed, what followed was a ringing in the ears… He had to stagger to his feet, only feeling the world swirling, his body wrecked, the pain surpassing the sum he had ever endured in his first half of life.
Finally, hearing restored somewhat… footsteps reached Mo Mo’s ears.
He spun around suddenly, seeing that Ye Fei had already approached Lv Yiyun, extending that terrifying palm… Lv Yiyun, lying on the ground, struggled to move twice, looking at Mo Mo in horror.
“No…”
Ye Fei unhesitatingly struck down… Lv Yiyun’s body sank slightly in an instant.
“Lv Yiyun!!!”
That body moved no more… Mo Mo weakly collapsed to his knees.
“Brother Mo, sorry about that.” Ye Fei looked at Mo Mo, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, raised his hand, “Actually, I really liked you.”
He stepped closer to Mo Mo, that hand slowly reaching out, moving towards Mo Mo’s forehead.
“Heavenly Limitless, Qiankun Borrowing Law, Thunder God’s Decree, Break!!!!”
At that instant, a bolt of lightning fiercely struck down from the sky, Ye Fei’s face slightly changed, that hand instantly raised to catch the lightning bolt striking at him!
Thunder crashed, Ye Fei seemed to suffer some loss, retreating several meters before stopping… At this moment, a figure landed on the ground, standing in front of Mo Mo.
He was a Taoist with long whiskers in blue attire, hair disheveled, holding a peachwood sword.
“Master… Why, why did you…”
“You brat, that phone call of yours made my mind restless, I made a rush overnight, didn’t even have time to fix my hair! Lucky I wasn’t too late.” The Taoist didn’t turn his head, just frowned while looking at Ye Fei in the distance.
“You are the Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain?” Ye Fei glanced sideways at the Taoist in front of him.
Elder Changhe snorted coldly, “Humph! I haven’t heard of the ‘Gui Xu’ sect, but I do recognize your ‘Blood God Palm Imprint’… Truly the remnant of the Demon Sect, mitting monstrous deeds upon emergence!”
“Hahahaha, monstrous deeds?” Ye Fei suddenly laughed spasmodically, “Monstrous deeds… Isn’t that what you say? Eradicate evil entirely, malicious intent breeds without end, must be uprooted pletely… That’s what you say. I merely, simply acted as per what you said.”
“Sophistry!” Elder Changhe snorted coldly, saying no more, his figure flashed out.
Ye Fei’s expression turned instantly cold, facing Elder Changhe’s offense, calmly, countering while retreating.
On the long street, traces of battle between Elder Changhe and Ye Fei were everywhere… Ye Fei’s terror was truly unfolded before Mo Mo’s eyes.
He was actually evenly matched with his master, Elder Changhe!
Mo Mo took a deep breath, barely suppressing his injuries, getting up once more, heading towards Lv Yiyun… He subconsciously wanted to see if the little girl was really dead.
“You… Are you okay?” After turning Lv Yiyun’s body over, he found she had but a breath left, sinking his mood several degrees.
“Mo, Mo Mo… Mr…”
“Didn’t I tell you to hide, why did you run out here…” But Lv Yiyun’s gaze grew increasingly dim, Mo Mo sighed inwardly, whispered, “Speak, I’m listening, what do you want to say?”
“I… I didn’t… I couldn’t resist in the end… I…” Lv Yiyun struggled to lift her hand, grabbing Mo Mo’s clothes, “I killed her… I killed… Sorry, sorry… I didn’t mean it, I… I couldn’t control myself… I…”
“Don’t say anything, don’t say it.” Mo Mo closed his eyes, breathing deeply, “Just don’t say anything…”
“Mr. Mo Mo… You said, once I killed someone… wouldn’t forgive, forgive me… so, so I thought instead of letting you e, e find me, better… better I… e, e find you, this way…”
“Don’t say it!!”
“This way… This way is good…”
“Don’t say…”
“Mr. Mo Mo… I killed those people… My… My dad, my grandpa don’t know… Can you… Can you let them go… They’ve… They’ve had a hard life… I… I can’t do anything… I… I beg you… Beg you…”
“Don’t say it…”
“So cold… So cold…”
“No worries, no worries, it’s not cold, not cold!” Mo Mo held the little girl’s body tightly, his palms swiftly caressing her back, grabbed her hands, warming them in his embrace, “It’s not cold, not cold, not cold!”
“Yiyun… Yiyun is a bad kid… Bad kid…”
“Not cold! You’re not bad, you’re not bad, you’re not…” Mo Mo lowered his head, she already closed her eyes, with no breath remaining, just… just like that with a slight trace of crying, lay in his arms, “Really… You’re not bad.”
The long street was desolate.
The hidden rain started to fall again, for a long time, he just held Lv Yiyun like that, sitting here all alone, for a long time.
…
No idea how much time passed, the rain still hadn’t stopped, but Elder Changhe returned, walking quickly to Mo Mo’s side.
“You brat, you…”
“Master…” Mo Mo looked up at Elder Changhe, pale, rainwater soaking his face, “I, my heart… So cold.”
“Life and death have their course, don’t take it too hard.” Elder Changhe said with sorrow, “You’ve just descended the mountain, so much you don’t understand. Ye Fei’s cunning and strength surpass yours, it’s natural you suffered losses. But keep a record of this debt, pay it back later.”
“How to repay… she’s dead, dying right before my eyes, and I… And I did nothing.” Mo Mo grabbed the hem of Elder Changhe’s trousers, kneeled walking over, “Master… My heart, truly so cold…”
Elder Changhe sighed, “I too am not much better off, chased Ye Fei all the way here, managed to wound him, yet he calmly escaped, even killed two more on the mountain. Alas, I’m old…”
On the mountain, two people…
Mo Mo suddenly understood something, collapsed instantly, looking up, the rain pounding his face.
Ah—!!!
He let out a furious roar.
…
My name is Mo Mo.
I cut my hair short, left it in Lv Village.
Ever since that day, I set myself a goal, to find Ye Fei for sure.
These years my power has been breaking through continuously, long ago it surpassed my master’s… For fifteen years, I’ve been pursuing Ye Fei endlessly.
Many times, I met him, outmatched, heavily injured and fled… Finally, a year ago, I wounded him.
These years, Ye Fei didn’t idle either, throughout China’s Taoist Demon Realm, his legend has surged everywhere, he has already bee the target of capture across two realms. Ye Fei, even alarmed the true dragon and Xuanyuan Palace.
I know, once the true dragon gets angry, Ye Fei will surely be caught… But I must catch him personally, before they do.
Fifteen years later, I returned again to Lv Village, which was long abandoned.
At the place where I met Ye Fei, I saw him again… He seemed almost unchanged from those years ago.
His face was like jade, just like the graceful young gentlemen from martial arts novels roaming the world, whereas I had long white hair on my temples, a face full of stubble.
Master said I gained power too quickly, exchanged it with my life.
I said, if not exchanged with my life, I can’t withstand Ye Fei, can’t reclaim what’s lost.
“Wine, do you want to drink?”
Ye Fei looked at me, his first words… So familiar.
