Chapter 124: Chapter 124: I Am You, You Are Me
She had said it long ago.
Humans and demons are destined to coexist.
How can humans coexist peacefully with demons that kill them?
Those oceans of blood, those broken homes and families, those dearest ones who died before their eyes, will be deeply engraved in the heart of the avenger, never to be erased.
"Qian Qi..."
A pair of transparent, intangible hands gently overlapped, softly covering Qian Qi’s eyes, making the blood-red in her eyes even more vivid. A cold voice hidden with madness and obsession gently sounded, like a ghost spawned from a nightmare, sweeping through her brain like a storm.
"Use my power... you are me, I am you—!"
Together with me, let’s kill all the demons!
"Argh—"
Consciousness returned for a moment, and Qian Qi instantly clutched her head in pain. The constant wailing of the Little Copper-Scaled Beast next to her pierced her mind, making her throw the iron rod into its forehead, ending its life completely.
Just now... what was that?
Whose voice was that?
Her spiritual power was muddled by an inexplicable force, leaving Qian Qi in a state of chaotic consciousness. Yet, seeing the death of the Little Copper-Scaled Beast, the Copper Scale Beasts that entered no longer cared for anyone else and charged directly at the stationary Qian Qi in fury!
The Copper Scale Beast’s body was like a giant lizard, covered entirely in black, copper-scaled armor. Its thick and long copper-scaled tail could sweep away people with ease. Despite its short hind legs, they were powerful, and the two front limbs were long and thick like a giant python, standing tall up to several meters, crawling swiftly, and leaping across several feet.
They leaped up, pouncing from all directions at the confused Qian Qi, forming a circle that trapped the solitary Qian Qi. While leaping, the front limbs suddenly extended green, sharp claws several centimeters long, aiming at her slender back!
Without having eaten the Defense Fruit, the ferocious siege was inevitable death for Qian Qi.
"Roar—" Amidst the deafening beastly roars, those sharp, fierce green claws fell like a sudden downpour, tearing through the cold, bloody air, clawing at Qian Qi’s defenseless occipital area!
[Qian Qi—]
"Qian Qi" suddenly lifted her blood-red eyes. As she turned her head, a cold and ferocious look spread from her eye corners, accompanied by a torrent of spiritual power spreading like a tide.
At the same time, the dozens of Copper Scale Beasts that were leaping in mid-air crashed to the ground painfully, hissing in agony, writhing in pain.
"Daring to harm me with just D-level?"
Her tone was cold and proud, the iron rod in her hand swiftly twirled two circles in her palm, a faint sneer of disdain and murderous intent slowly emerged at the corner of her lips.
The next moment, she fiercely drove the iron rod into the chest of the nearest Copper Scale Beast, directly picking out the bloody organs inside and violently throwing them to the ground.
Like a stroll in the courtyard, she stepped over the corpses and rivers of blood, harvesting the D-level magical beasts controlled by her spiritual power under the simple iron rod. When the iron rod could no longer bear the weight and bent and twisted, she casually tossed it aside and stood before the Copper Scale Beast that first charged at her.
Her slightly blue-tinged fingers gently caressed the Copper Scale Beast’s head; she lowered her gaze, speaking in a dark, deep tone.
"Well, if you can’t control your own brats, then you deserve to get taught by outsiders..."
"Roar—" The Copper Scale Beast struggled in pain from such a massive spiritual energy attack, but she seemed to intentionally torture it, bit by bit wearing down its consciousness, making it feel like falling into an icy abyss pierced by countless sharp knives, or buried in a sea of flames burning and tormenting, driving it to despair.
"Couldn’t you just stay underground? Why deliberately come out?"
The gloomy, fierce girl muttered to herself, "Once out, you should die."
Her little hand suddenly stabbed into the Copper Scale Beast’s head, and she vengefully crushed its skull bit by bit, thinking of the child’s head that was just crushed by that Little Copper-Scaled Beast, her chest filled with insatiable anger and sorrow, causing a tear to slide down her eye corner, staining her blood-splattered face.
She could not calm this surge of rage.
Because it was Qian Qi’s rage.
And "she" was now just a remaining trace of cold consciousness.
"Qian Qi, let go and kill."
Kill everything that stands in your way, threatens you, or harms you.
Mine is yours.
"She" tore away the powerful torrent of spiritual power, stooping to gently cover Qian Qi’s eyes. Without "her" suppression, the vast ocean-like spiritual power quickly swept through Qian Qi’s consciousness, causing her previously small consciousness to rock like a small ship amidst great waves, eventually being engulfed into the deep vortex.
Qian Qi lifted her gaze, leaving only the word "kill" in her mind.
The spiritual power, beyond level, seemed naturally tailored for this body, used with ease. She turned and walked past the D-level magical beast’s corpses on the ground. Under the panic and dependence in people’s eyes, she slowly walked to where the Copper Scale Beasts arose.
Emerging from the underground, the instances buried beneath were revealed in their true form, and Qian Qi’s deep ocean-like gaze fell onto the dark entrance, leaping in a single bound.
Like a demon falling into hell, she landed heavily within the instance, her eyes filled with a mad desire to kill sweeping over the surrounding lush forest, where life thrived and high waterfalls hung horizontally, with magic beasts’ roars undulating over time.
Herds of D-level Demon Horned Rhinoceroses gathered by the river, countless birds swooping down from the sky towards the Blue Ice Magic Rabbits on the ground, and Copper Scale Beasts raced through the forest, their thick tails slashing and splitting the surrounding monstrous trees, startling the crows resting on them.
They lived in ease and freedom, unaware that outside, humans lay dead everywhere.
Qian Qi stared intently at those Copper Scale Beasts, an uncontainable rage rising within her.
Kill, kill them all.
She wanted bodies piled high here as well, washing this land with blood and commemorating her lost loved ones with their ruined corpses.
At this moment, only the desire to "kill" was left in Qian Qi’s mind, the tumultuous and powerful spiritual power clamored to be released, or it would shatter her consciousness. She could only use these spiritual powers to find her true self.
And not far away, the Copper Scale Beasts, smelled the blood belonging to the Copper Scale race on Qian Qi, roaring angrily and charging at her.
"Wind."
Qian Qi raised her hand, standing still, her thin lips lightly exhaling a word. Immediately, spiritual power materialized, sweeping towards the Copper Scale Beasts like a gale.
"Sizzle—Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Where the spiritual power wind swept through, the heads of one Copper Scale Beast after another burst like smashed watermelons, blood splattering everywhere. Other magical beasts nearby fled in terror, and those reckless enough to approach were directly exploded and became fertilizer absorbed by the soil.
But this was not enough.
She walked deeper into the forest, with every step, blossoming a beautiful yet bloody flower, the tornado of spiritual power surrounding her, shredding all demons outside of herself, leaving behind chaos, bearing witness to her atrocities.
Qian Qi walked aimlessly, uncertain of her path, until at some point, exhausted, she stopped in front of a giant rock, climbed onto it.
Sitting atop the rock, relaxed yet dazed, cross-legged, her hand supporting her chin slightly, massive spiritual power spread rapidly like a tsunami, controlling the magical beasts within a hundred-mile radius.
Countless magical beasts were controlled by her, rushing over from afar, trembling, prostrating at her feet, as Qian Qi slightly lowered her eyes, scanning these D-level magical beasts.
The extensive use of spiritual power finally stabilized her small conscious boat floating in the deep sea whirlpool, her immense killing intent towards the demons slowly dissipating like smoke, leaving only peace and tranquility.
