Chapter 966 Sever! (2)

The rain was getting heavier.

Logically speaking, the black rain created by King Chujiang should have been constant, neither increasing nor decreasing, as it depended entirely on his will.

But now,

the rain had begun to intensify,

new raindrops washing away the grime on the ground,

diluting the dark puddles,

a cleansing, a purification.

A sentimentalist would describe the scene as, "The death of the old monkey moved the heavens,"

causing the sky to weep.

In reality,

it was due to the old monkey's bloodline.

The Chijiri Mahou (red-butt macaque) inherently possessed the bloodline of a "dragon," with an innate affinity for water. The disappearance of its life triggering a torrential downpour was, in fact, perfectly normal.

The rain came, to offer its funeral rites.

In the rain,

the old monkey lay there,

its lips moving silently.

Memories were always beautiful, and always fleeting,

made all the more beautiful by their brevity.

But now,

the end had finally come.

In the old monkey's eyes, there was decay, but no regret or lingering attachment.

What you can't see through is called fate,

what you can see through is called destiny,

whether you acknowledge it or not, it's still your lot in life.

Irrelevant to schemes, irrelevant to plans,

because it had already accepted its fate, and did so willingly.

That summer night a thousand years ago, it had decided to dedicate everything to that person.

Although it couldn't accompany him all the way like Banshan,

at least,

it could stand guard until its death.

If one day,

he were to once again reign over Hell,

on this path,

there would be a brick laid by it.

Clusters of crystalline light began to overflow from the old monkey's body,

the last essence of its body before its lifespan ended.

At the same time,

it voluntarily dissolved itself,

melting its soul.

It had little life left anyway,

and since it was giving a gift,

as the second monkey under Lord Fǔjūn (Prefect), at least, what it considered itself to be, the second monkey under Lord Fǔjūn,

it couldn't disgrace Fǔjūn,

it had to be magnanimous,

it absolutely had to be magnanimous.

The past drifted with the wind, and past lives also drifted with the wind,

so,

next life?

Reincarnation?

What would it need that for!

Living this life well was enough, and already satisfying.

To live another life, to scrape by another existence,

too tiring,

better to pack it all up and send it out together.

King Chujiang's gaze swept around,

Lawyer An's eyes also scanned the surroundings non-stop.

But,

the old monkey's earlier strike,

had indeed shaken the surrounding qi,

temporarily blocking King Chujiang's specific perception of the surrounding environment.

Before its death, that was all the old monkey could do.

It didn't lament too much about what it could have done in its prime; it was simply tired and relieved.

What came next,

wasn't its concern anymore.

The Banshan coolie had been gone for years,

that bastard,

snatching its position.

It,

would have to go find it and settle accounts.

…………

A streak of bright yellow light appeared before Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze stood there, unmoving.

He didn't need to move, nor was it necessary.

Everything,

depended on the old monkey's own initiative.

Just like Lord Lu, the King Pingdeng (Equality King), back then,

after the Palace of King Pingdeng was destroyed, he himself was hunted down by the Ten Attendants. With nowhere to turn, he voluntarily ended his own life, voluntarily offered himself, in order to have Ying Gou avenge him.

Ying Gou had kept his promise,

one of the Ten Kings of Hell was gone,

and one of the Ten Attendants was also gone.

Now,

it was merely a re-enactment of the past,

with experience,

then,

everything would be as before.

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

The bright yellow voice laughed,

turning its head,

glancing at the location where King Chujiang was,

then pointing at itself,

"Old Monkey, I fear nothing, but there's one thing I'm afraid of: I'm afraid of the dark."

Boss Zhou nodded in agreement.

The old monkey's gaze swept around once more,

it wasn't taking one last look at the world,

but looking for that little monkey it had once seen.

It seemed to want to say something more,

but looking back at its massive, rapidly decaying body,

the old monkey suddenly felt there was no need to say anything more.

The bright yellow figure voluntarily walked towards Zhou Ze,

and then,

slowly began to merge with Boss Zhou's figure.

In a daze,

that summer in the wild forest,

the old monkey saw the Banshan ape smiling at it by the spirit spring.

"That's my spring!"

"Bullshit, this is my territory!"

The two little monkeys began to fight again.

One monkey was stronger, but couldn't gain an advantage, because the other, thinner one, was more ruthless and cunning, always making the stronger one suffer.

The two little monkeys fought and fought,

fought and fought,

occasionally glancing into the distance,

to see if,

that man in white,

would appear silently again.

…………

A warm current,

began to sweep through Zhou Ze's body,

like a war machine that had been dormant for a long time,

finally having its fuel replenished,

the gears turning,

everything,

was activated.

Perhaps,

the time wouldn't be long,

and everything would return to normal after the fuel ran out,

but,

it was enough.

Sensing the fullness within his body,

Zhou Ze slowly said:

"Did you wait long?"

You,

who had been silent, silent, silent, silent all this time,

should speak now, and should act now.

The "dragon vein" you've been waiting for, the "dragon vein" you've been muttering about for so long,

ha,

has finally arrived.

"A…………re…………yo…………u…………rea…………dy…………"

Zhou Ze nodded,

"Let's do it."

"Here…………I…………co…………me…………"

In an instant,

Zhou Ze's aura changed dramatically.

His original warmth turned as cold and sharp as ice.

Perhaps, the only thing that hadn't changed was the similar kind of nonchalance they both possessed.

Zhou Ze reached out his hand,

and a raindrop fell into his palm,

"Drip… drip…"

The next moment, the rain stopped.

The rain stopped here, not that it stopped raining,

but that within this realm,

all the raindrops were frozen in the air,

as if someone had pressed the pause button,

everything,

was frozen.

Zhou Ze slowly raised his head.

He took a step,

and began to walk through the rain curtain.

…………

The old monkey was dead,

King Chujiang knew this clearly; he had already felt it.

But what puzzled King Chujiang was that,

the old monkey's last words were clearly not directed at him.

Here,

in King Chujiang's eyes,

there were only three people qualified to stand together and converse.

Himself,

the old monkey,

and that mad dog he was already grabbing with his dharma body's hand.

How could there possibly be a fourth?

King Chujiang walked over.

He walked to Lawyer An's side,

and stood with Lawyer An in front of the old monkey's decaying, massive body.

"Buzz!"

Lawyer An felt his body lighten, and he knelt directly on the ground.

He felt somewhat terrified,

and also a bit amused and helpless.

The terror was that,

this person's identity was truly too terrifying,

and he had just said he wanted to become sworn brothers with him.

The amusement and helplessness came from the fact that,

regardless of whether he admitted it or not,

he,

just now,

though merely acting as a mouthpiece,

was probably,

in this lifetime,

his,

An Buqi's,

most glorious moment, the pinnacle of his life!

It was just a pity that no one nearby had filmed this. Otherwise, with some post-production editing to remove the middle-aged man in the background, it would be something he could reminisce about for a long, long time, right?

"Do you know why I used you to relay the message?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Lawyer An remained kneeling on the ground,

blinking his eyes.

This time,

he didn't dare to be even slightly flippant.

Moreover,

having passed through the "amused and helpless" stage,

Lawyer An suddenly recalled his earlier behavior, "that bastard has been taken down,"

and a chilling sensation instantly spread from his spine to his entire body.

This was truly,

the Old Man of the South Pole eating tons of arsenic!

But you couldn't not answer the person's question.

He could be all smiles and jokes when he didn't know the person's identity, but now, that was impossible.

It was like when everyone was naked in a bathhouse, there was no distinction between high and low status. But once they left the bathhouse and put on their clothes, the difference was immediately apparent.

"You don't want to completely fall out?"

Lawyer An tentatively answered.

King Chujiang shook his head,

then reached out to catch some rainwater to wash his hands,

and said,

"I just find it inauspicious."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Suddenly,

Lawyer An froze,

because the rain that had been falling on him had stopped.

It was like you were walking down a noisy street, and suddenly all the sounds were blocked out. This sense of contrast made you feel surprised and at a loss.

What shocked Lawyer An even more was that,

the rain had actually stopped right next to him. This was a scene that could only appear in dreams, but it was actually happening right in front of him.

No wonder he's a King of Hell,

truly fucking awesome!

Lawyer An raised his head,

wanting to look at King Chujiang,

and habitually wanted to offer some flattery.

But he opened his mouth,

but no sound came out,

because he saw that King Chujiang, who had just been about to catch water to wash his hands,

now also had a look of confusion on his face.

He wasn't the one who did it?

But,

King Chujiang was, after all, King Chujiang.

Over the millennia,

he had experienced countless storms.

He had that confidence, and that composure.

At this moment,

King Chujiang stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

Diagonally in front of him,

his dharma body continued to hold the black shadow in its hand, also standing with its hands clasped behind its back.

Appearing silently,

and having the qualification to converse with the old monkey in its final moments,

it seemed,

this person should also be an old antique-level figure.

In the forest ahead,

a figure slowly walked out,

a layer of mist enveloping the person's face and figure,

making it difficult to see their identity clearly.

But Lawyer An suddenly felt a chill,

this feeling,

this aura,

this presence,

holy shit,

it's the Big Boss!

At this moment,

Lawyer An mustered the immense courage of having lived two lives,

Lawyer An unhesitatingly bet his past, present, and future,

Lawyer An stood up,

Lawyer An pointed his finger at King Chujiang in front of him,

Lawyer An was furious,

Lawyer An was filled with righteous indignation,

Lawyer An shouted:

"You traitorous villain, everyone has the right to punish you!

Do you admit your guilt, Pseudo-King Li!"
