Chapter 140 140: Something Dangerous
"To think that I would hit two targets at once. Her Majesty would be quite pleased. Not only did I get the Celestial Lotus for her but I also caught the traitor!"
The old man raised his hand, creating a Sword made purely from his Celestial Aura.
Once again Heavenly Punishment fell from the sky as the world's limits were crossed. However, even as the lightning fell on the old man, he didn't flinch.
He brought the Sword slashing down. The Snow Dragon watched the sword come down.
The Snow Dragon's eyes gazed at Xu Shan as the Sword sliced through its head which rolled on the ground. The Snow Dragon was killed right before Xu Shan's eyes.
Watching the Snow Dragon die, Xu Shan felt something. He didn't know how long it had been since his heart felt something. He didn't know if it was because he was connected to the Snow Dragon through an ancient contract, but that feeling made him feel a strange feeling.
After killing the Snow Dragon, the man still didn't stop. He sliced through the Snow Dragon's skin, turning his ours white skin into bloody red.
After cutting the skin, he stabbed his hand inside the Dragon's body, pulling out the heart as if he was talking that as evidence with him.
Taking the heart, the old man turned and left with his group, without glancing back at Xu Shan. He didn't pay attention to Aria who was hiding behind the tree as if wasting even a single second more on those people was a waste of time.
Xu Shan could only watch the people leave as the poison spread all through his body. He couldn't even move his lips, let alone speak.
His lips turned darker as his vision became blurry. The view of the people disappeared. His body lost all its strength as he finally dropped on the cold snow.
Seeing the sight from a distance, Aria's face revealed a glee. Instead of feeling bad for the young man, she felt extremely grateful to the people from the Divine Realm for punishing Xu Shan to this extent.
However, even in this condition, Aria didn't feel safe. She couldn't relax until she watched the man die with her own eyes! She knew just what kind of existence he had the potential of becoming. She wasn't overconfident.
Now that Xu Shan couldn't even move, she brought out a knife. She had to kill him herself, especially when he was so helpless. Finally she could kill the person who made her life a living hell!
****
Xu Shan lied on the ground. His blood had mostly converted to poison that was destroying his body from inside. He couldn't even move a single finger. It was as if he could only watch himself die and nothing more.
The pain was so much that he didn't even realize when he lost consciousness, falling into slumber that he had a feeling he was never going to wake up from.
After spreading through his entire body, the poison finally started taking over his mind, soul and his heart. He had never been as helpless as he was now.
Clenching the knife firmly in her hand, Aria finally came out from behind the tree, slowly approaching Xu Shan.
Her heart was still filled with fear like never before. Each step was like a thousand steps for her as she kept worrying that the man was going to wake up and the past was going to repeat again. She was the only one who had seen that sight of Xu Shan after all.
The woman kept stepping closer to Xu Shan until she was merely half a meter away from him. She held the knife with both her hands.
However, before she could attack, she froze in place as she watched the show melt from under Xu Shan. His body was getting warm. Not only the snow under him, but the snow in the surroundings was also melting and disappearing into thin air.
The woman's face turned pale as she felt her skin breaking apart as well. This was a sight that she remembered all too well.
Her fear took over her heart as she realized what it was! This was what made Xu Shan so scary in the future she remembered! This was Devouring!
She immediately jumped back. However, it was as if there was a domain which was established. Inside the Domain, everything was being devoured, including the snow, the body of the Snow Dragon and even the skin of the woman.
As the snow under Xu Shan melted, his body was submerged in the frozen pond. However, water couldn't touch him even as his body kept falling. Whatever water came in contact with him disappeared.
The woman kept stepping back, alert as she watched the Domain of devouring increase. It was clear that Xu Shan wasn't dead! If anything, something inside him was waking up.
It was clear to her that if she stayed here for long, she might be devoured as well, especially since even the body of the Snow Dragon wasn't immune.
For now, she dropped her plans and turned around, running to the best of her abilities! She had to catch up to the people from the Divine Realm and tell them what was happening so they could return and kill him!
The woman ran down the freedom mountain, not slowing down for even a second. She couldn't be late! She had to catch up with those people at all costs!
On the other hand, Xu Shan's body kept falling deep in the frozen pond. His mind was sleeping, but his breathing was stable.
However, even as he was unconscious, there was a voice in her head which kept saying, "It hurts!"
The black nerves around his body slowly started disappearing as a mysterious force started devouring all the Poison inside his body which was preventing the healing pull from acting up.
With each passing second, the poison that had spread through Xu Shan's entire body started being devoured, only leaving the healing pill's effects behind.
The bleeding wound on his chest, which had turned the water around him red, had slowly started healing as well. However, the Devouring didn't stop! The Domain only kept increasing as if it wasn't going to stop until it devoured the entire mountain!
