Chapter 227: Chain of Nightmares
Standing up in the air, Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, impressed by the giant form of Stone. It really looked majestic and the pressure it emitted was also majestic, as if the person was pressured under a mountain.
He chuckled softly and said.
"He is also using his will to influence the world. What a crafty fellow!"
Song Junwan smiled and nodded.
"Yes, he also stalled the fight for so long, slowly making pieces of the giant during the fight. His battle IQ is really impressive, and he also have his strength to back it up."
They were really impressed by Stone, as he was playing with the opponent since the start of the battle. He wanted to make this Giant formation but it was impossible so suddenly.
So, he used many rocks and stones during the battle and positioned them in such a way that Meng Ko's slashes would cut at the place where he wanted.
He was basically observing everything from Meng Ko to his surroundings, while making rocks and literal mountains in between while fighting Meng Ko.
All of this so that he could pull this final move, which was frightening to say the least. Compared to the Giant made of stones and rocks, Meng Ko looked like a small cornered rat.
And this caused his mind to go astray, as he was also affected by his demonic Techniques. His eyes and face turned red, as blood dripping from his eyes and nose.
With a shout, Meng Ko slashed at the giant, sending a crimson red slash, much like previous one, flying at the Stone Giant.
But it did nothing but make a small dent in the Giant's torso. If he had some sanity left, he might have tried running away. Unfortunately, he had lost it all so he directly shot towards the Giant, trying to fight it head-on.
It was a mistake, a heavy one at that.
With a light swing of it's huge arm, Stone swatted Meng Ko as if he was a small mosquito to the Giant. The force behind the slap wasn't small, as Meng Ko was sent hurling away like a broken kite.
However, Stone didn't give a chance to rest as he raised the second arm of the Giant and caught Meng Ko, as he smashed on the hard surface.
Slowly, the head of Stone Giant disappeared and Stone with his human body came out of it, wearing a black suit and wooden mask on his face.
He raised his head and said.
"Vanish? Are you here?"
Hearing that, Shen Yu brought his group towards Stone and landed on the Giant's shoulder. Looking at the ground from such a huge height, Shen Yu thought.
'This really is a Xianxia world!'
Stone dropped on his knees and bowed.
"Stone greets Master."
Shen Yu nodded.
"You did a fine job there. Using such a formation using your Qi is really something."
A satisfied smile appeared on his face as Stone said.
"Everything is yours, Master. Use it as you wish!"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes and casted a look at Vanish, who just looked down in embarassment.
"He called you, so I'm guessing you have something to do."
Hearing his words, Stone raised his head and said.
"Yeah, I called her to deal with the Nascent Soul of him. I don't have anything to keep the Soul so I didn't kill him yet and my attacks are also not strong enough to directly obliterate it."
Vanish came in front of them and asked.
"Can I go, master?"
Normally, Shen Yu might have denied it as her method of dealing with the Nascent Soul was just pure diabolical. But it was the Slave organisation they were dealing with so he didn't have any mercy for them.
Especially for someone like Meng Ko, who had killed uncountable virgin people to raise his Cultivation. People like him deserve true hell, which Vanish was an expert in giving.
A cruel smile appeared on Shen Yu's face as he said.
"Don't show mercy!"
Surprised at first, a similar smile formed on Vanish's lips as she nodded. Then, she jumped down and flew towards the Stone Giant's right hand where Meng Ko's bloodied body lay in a pool of his own blood.
Stopping before him, Vanish stomped his face and said.
"You know, I've always hated people like you. And the unfortunate thing is, the world puts you on the top. But there is no need to worry now. Enjoy the Nightmares, Bastard!"
With that, she stomped his chest, tearing through his heart in one go. It took only a few seconds for the body to die, surprisingly as a crimson red Nascent Soul appeared above the deceased Meng Ko.
Before it could escape though, Vanish raised both of her hands and put her everything to form ten thousand illusion around the Meng Ko's Soul.
And every single one of them was as cruel as she could make. However, it was still outside of her limits as she was trying to make things seem like real, even though they were illusion.
Just then, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder and a warm current surged in her body, healing everything and giving her a massive boost.
Standing beside her, Shen Yu said.
"You would be able to do that after you attain higher realms, but for now, just this is enough."
He clearly knew the limits of illusion Techniques, one of the best technique one could use as a base to further choose their techniques. After all, the illusion was very close to creation ability and that was a terrifying power to have.
Although not completely understanding what Shen Yu meant, Vanish nodded and once again closed her eyes as she started the chain of tens of thousands of nightmares.
It was difficult and she could feel mental fatigue washing over her, but she persisted and held on. She hated people like Meng Ko to the core and now that she could finally punish one such person, how could she back away?
Finally, she managed to complete the chain of nightmares and her body stumbled backwards, falling into Shen Yu's arms.
"Take some rest! I'll handle the rest!"
Shen Yu smiled and also sent her to the pocket dimension where Xiao Lan was already resting. After knowing what Vanish went through and her decisions on that, Shen Yu felt that she deserved more.
He teleported back to the Stone Giant's shoulder and landed right beside Song Junwan.
Looking at the destruction around him, Shen Yu addressed Stone.
"I have a task for you!"
Stone bowed his head.
"Master needs to say the word!"
Shen Yu tossed a sphere at him and said.
"This is the Tanki Bomb, a higher version to be exact. Go and plant it in a place where it would blow this whole headquarters."
Catching the sphere in his hand, Stone held it carefully and said.
"Understood!"
Shen Yu nodded at him and then teleported to the last battlefield along with Song Junwan.
Fortunately, the last battlefield was what one would expect from a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators. It had already moved away from the headquarters and they were fighting in an open grounds.
Or rather, their battle had made the open ground as outside the Battlefield was a beautiful forest. Their Battlefield had rendered a large piece of land completely barren and broken.
Pillars of black smoke rose from various parts of the Battlefield, showing where the battle was once fought before they moved on while fighting.
At one of the barren area, a loud explosion shook the earth as the outburst of waves sent many small trees rolling on the ground.
Coming closer, one would be able to feel the two frightening pressure threatening to break the earth. They came from two individuals who made some distance after clashing one more time.
First was the former Slave Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of the slave collar, Xu Ming. He had a long spear in his hand, with many cuts on his body from which blood oozed out like a river.
Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators were hard to bleed, so this showed level of battle had reached.
Xu Ming's complete focused was on his former master, the head of Slave organisation and the one who had ruined his whole life, Liu Rutin.
She was a mature woman, with long black hair tied in into a tiara. Her revealing clothes showcased her curves which were enough to make any men drool over her.
However, all Xu Ming felt looking at her was disgust. She has used him all these years in every way possible, so the hatred he felt for her was unfathomable.
He was willing to trade his soul if he had a chance to exact his revenge, and he finally had the chance.
While he was injured, his former master wasn't in any better state. His spear had dug deep holes in her body, and even even managed to damage her Core.
Liu Rutin took a deep breath and asked.
"I'm asking once again. How did you get your freedom?"
