NOVEL NEXT Chapter 184: No Mercy
“Now, you should believe that I am not an illusion, right?”
Luo Wusheng, accompanied by the girl by his side, stepped into the central hall of the temple, speaking in a casual tone.
He looked at the undamaged temple with a hint of flicker in his eyes.
‘Still…. It seems that little brat really had sent me to some extraordinary place.’
However, for now, since there are no other abnormalities happening, it’s better to focus on the present situation.
The Rat Netherkin, lying on the Buddha statue, staggered to its feet and looked in their direction with a complex expression.
It had indeed confirmed that the person in front of it was not an illusion; otherwise, the other consciousness within it wouldn’t be in such a frenzy now.
If illusions could really go this far, it would have to start planning for the next tail-cutting.
“Demon Sect Holy Saint…”
As its lifelong enemy recognized by itself, it was still able to appear in front of it even under the mysterious spells of the Buddhist Sect.
Feeling the strong turmoil of the other consciousness within its body, the little Rat suppressed the opponent’s attempt to seize control with all its might. At the same time, a gleam appeared in its rat eyes.
It was very concerned about how the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect broke through the restrictions of the Buddhist Fate Destruction Technique and appeared in front of him, but more than that, it cared more about the words that the other party just said.
Separating its two consciousnesses…
Could this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect really achieve such a thing?
If it were any other golden core or even nascent spirit cultivator saying these words, it wouldn’t hold much hope. But Luo Wusheng was unique.
It had underestimated him countless times before and almost died at his hands. Despite the resentment, this uncontrollable ability was still recognized by it.
And…
‘His connection with the Buddhist Sect runs deeper than anyone can imagine. Maybe he really has a way to break the methods of the Buddhist Sect, just like how he can appear before me now…’
Perhaps it’s worth a try? After all, the result wouldn’t be worse than it is now.
If it continues to cut off its tail several times, it might really be beyond redemption…
The little Rat’s expression was conflicted, but suddenly, it changed to a calm appearance.
The other consciousness gained the upper hand once again.
“Benefactor Luo appearing in this place indeed surprises this humble monk, but separating this humble monk’s consciousness? Even if benefactor is not a monk, words need to have a limit. This humble monk was born from the spirit, transformed from the source, and is originally one with this body. Where does the talk of separation come from? Unless it is the rare phenomenon of spirit separation— Ugh—”
Before it could finish its words, it turned into a sharp intake of cold air.
A seemingly ordinary wooden sword had slashed across the slender tail that had just grown on the Rat Netherkin.
The sword’s power was average, at most close to the level of an early stage Golden Core strike. However, when it slashed on the Rat Netherkin, it caused a piercing pain as if the spirit itself was being torn apart.
“A spirit-separating Artifact? What kind of sword is this?!”
The rat’s calm demeanor could no longer be maintained, revealing an extremely obvious expression of horror. And this horror turned into madness the next moment.
“It works! Haha, this darn thing has truly separated from me!”
The rejuvenated little Rat saw the wooden sword that caused the change floating lightly back into the hands of the girl beside the Demon Sect Holy Saint.
Watching the girl contentedly enjoying the approval of the Demon Sect Holy Saint’s caress, it was slightly stunned.
The sword just now was emitted by the little girl?
Someone who is only at the Peak of Foundation Establishment?
At this moment, it heard Luo Wusheng’s voice transmission.
“Tell me about the plans of the Buddhist Sect, and I will help you separate the two consciousnesses within you.”
“Deal!”
The Rat Netherkin almost didn’t hesitate at all and eagerly agreed, as if afraid that Luo Wusheng would change his mind.
Immediately, it added through voice transmission, “The current target of the Buddhist Sect is you. I know many internal details— I can swear by the heavenly mechanism. As long as you separate buddhist consciousness inside me, I will tell you everything!”
It agreed quite readily.
Because the sword just now gave it the first glimpse of hope after being tormented by the other consciousness for such a long time.
The future of being assimilated into a Buddhist Sect Rat had taken a turn for the first time.
Truly, there is always a way forward for a clever Rat!
In addition, there is another reason. What Luo Wusheng needs is something it had thought of telling him anyway.
The Buddhist Sect has deceived it, and its vengeful nature doesn’t want the Buddhist Sect to have an easy time.
If it tells the Demon Sect Holy Saint the things that happened, considering the Holy Saint’s ability to always exceed its expectations, it might really cause some trouble for the Buddhist Sect.
Besides, it had grievances against both sides. No matter which side gets done in, it can enjoy the show from the sidelines.
Yes, it just needs to be careful not to be tricked like the last transaction.
‘It should be fine this time. If he wants to know those things, he has to separate my consciousness first…’
……
Luo Wusheng didn’t dwell too much on the Rat Netherkin’s eager agreement.
Upon hearing the Rat Netherkin’s firm statement about the Buddhist Sect targeting him, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
—It seems that his faint suspicion was not wrong after all.
After all, the actions of the Buddhist Sect this time were too targeted.
He didn’t continue guessing, as the answers to his long-standing doubts would be revealed next.
Looking ahead, a certain eagerly anticipating Rat Netherkin was already lying on the operating table— on the table in front of the headless Buddha statue.
The way the Rat Netherkin lay down was all twisted and entangled, giving Luo Wusheng a strange feeling.
However, according to the voice transmission from the Rat Netherkin, this was to exert full force in suppressing the other consciousness, preventing the consciousness of the Buddhist Sect’s Rat from occupying the body during the process of separating consciousness.
Luo Wusheng was also a bit worried about this situation, so he tapped his storage bag.
Rare and precious gems flew out one by one, landed in Luo Wusheng’s hand, were strung together by a silver thread, and then hung around the neck of Little Yuli by his side.
“Luo Lang, what are these…”
With a large necklace of precious stones, the little girl, looking quite rich and imposing, looked at the various gemstones added to her neck. While her eyes sparkled, she also made a somewhat puzzled sound.
“Cash shop equipment– Ahem, these are things specifically for protecting Little Yuli. Don’t worry too much, just follow what I said earlier.”
“Well, Little Yuli understands!”
The little girl obediently nodded, a smile appearing on her small face.
Then, holding Luo Wusheng’s hand, she took a step forward, and with the other hand, pointed forward.
The Sword Ancestor wooden sword whizzed through the air and fell onto the Rat Netherkin in front of the Buddha.
The little Rat kicked its hind legs.
‘Ugh—although it’s power is just at the Foundation Establishment, the pain of spirit separation is really—’
It was about to scream in pain, but instantly felt that the other consciousness inside its body was separated a bit. Joy immediately appeared on its face.
“It worked!”
“Another strike! Come on, give me another strike!”
“Haha! It’s already starting to separate! Keep going, cut me with force, don’t show mercy!”
Watching the Rat Netherkin being chopped painfully, convulsing all over but laughing wildly like mad, Luo Wusheng’s gaze gradually became strange.
If this round of treatment continues, won’t it add an M preference to this bloodthirsty Netherkin?
Well, if that’s the case, he should mention it when he hands it over to Yao Ji in the future.
