Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Killing is Cultivation

The chain, covered with a large amount of animal hair, fell into the Deep Pit. Oddly, as the chain touched the flowers, the brightly colored red blooms began to wither, and faint human screams seemed to emanate from the withering petals.

These flowers grew upon the corpses, drawing nutrition from residual souls, and bloomed with a beauty that reflected humanity.

From them, one could see the beauty of humanity but also its fragility. Once beastly nature was mixed in, the flowers were no longer pure and began to wither.

Han Fei had made his final preparations, choosing a spot directly on the path of the Monster, and the shortest straight-lined distance to the Beast.

If the Beast intended to escape back to the Deep Pit, it was most likely to go through here.

Watching Han Fei, brandishing a knife and moving to the rear, Bai Sinian thought it best to remind him. In some ways, he was genuinely a good person, "You alone might not be able to stop it. What’s that idiom again? Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?"

"I have other helpers," Han Fei wouldn’t let himself be trapped. He was holding the hand of a little girl.

The girl looked to be only about five or six years old, hanging her head low, appearing very frail.

The stronger the grudge, the larger the body tended to be; Bai Sinian knew this bit of common knowledge: "She’s your helper? Maybe I should come with you, too."

Bai Sinian didn’t say outright that the girl was unreliable nor did he question Han Fei’s decision. He simply showed through his actions that he did not expect much from Han Fei.

"Then be careful, and don’t overexert yourself," Han Fei’s voice was gentle, but Bai Sinian always felt that these were the words he should have said himself.

Watching Han Fei cautiously move to the edge of the Deep Pit, Bai Sinian felt an uncanny sense of unreality. A living person, holding an edgeless sword hilt, daring to lead a little girl to ambush a Large-scaled Grudge—how could he be so bold?!

Judging by size, the Monster could probably fling Han Fei away with just its tail, then a massive influx of Dark Energy could directly shatter Han Fei’s soul and consciousness.

Bai Sinian felt Han Fei couldn’t withstand even one attack from the Monster, let alone defeat it.

Four floors underground, the neighbors’ struggle against the Monster had reached its most intense moment. After one of the heads of the Beast, marked with the character for "body," had shattered, its body doubled in size, and its wounds began to heal rapidly.

If one were to fight the Monster alone, it would indeed be extremely difficult to handle, possessing eight abilities that included offense, defense, self-enhancement, and the ability to weaken enemies, making it very well-rounded and almost without weaknesses.

However, being well-rounded also had its disadvantages. Compared to other Large-scaled Grudges, the Monster’s abilities were too evenly distributed, lacking a decisive power to determine victory or defeat.

Like the brothers Li Zai and Li Huo, who specialized in close combat and refined their soul bodies through disasters; like Cry, who was skilled at remote control of despair, merely needing enough time to weave a cage of despair that could transform the enemies’ inner despair into daggers.

Alone, they stood no chance against the Monster, but together, they could keep it at bay.

Yet, the Monster was a Large-scaled Grudge after all, and with only Cry and Li Zai, the Monster could easily exhaust them to death.

Pity for the Monster that it was unlucky, encountering Han Fei who had brought his family out because of Gesheng sweeping through the Happiness Residental Community, a rare collective outing for the residents.

Now, it had to fend off the enemies single-handedly amidst the Ghost and Monsters from two F-grade buildings.

The bloodstains on its body were multiplying, and the butterfly patterns on its tail had begun to blur. The Monster, in its effort to prevent others from entering the Flower Sea, had already blown up a few of its heads, but still could not stop the intruders.

There was no way around it, there were just too many of them!

Unwittingly, the cage of despair had tightened. Cry focused on the Monster’s heart, his hands forming a virtual grip and then powerfully swinging downwards!

The Monster’s remaining head screamed out. What Cry had just grasped was a dagger formed from the Monster’s inner despair, located within its own soul.

Using the enemy’s despair to wound them, Cry’s ability was truly terrifying.

Black hair and the cage of despair continued to compress the space for dodging, and the Monster finally conceived the idea of retreat. But as it prepared to back away, a woman teacher over two meters tall, wearing a red necklace, appeared behind it.

Beneath the blood-stained red clothes, two withered arms stretched out, and Jin Sheng’s homeroom teacher tightly embraced the body of the Midnight Butcher.

The pallid face instantly became hideous and crazed, and the woman teacher’s body began to decay along with the Midnight Butcher’s, as the rotten love transformed into bone-chilling hatred!

What was even more terrifying was that the female teacher’s body was slowly merging into the body of the Midnight Butcher!

"What ability is this?"

Not only Bai Sinian, Han Fei also watched with a heart-pounding terror.

Jin Sheng’s homeroom teacher was Ma Manjiang’s wife, who had been deceived and ultimately killed by Ma Manjiang. Her grudge energy was frightening, and Han Fei had never seen her fully exert her strength.

"Are all my colleagues this strong?"

The Midnight Butcher had never seen such a bizarre ability either, as if the red-clothed woman wanted to burrow into his body and merge with him.

It didn’t know whether this was a curse or something else, and with its body gravely injured, it lacked the strength to discern.

The child’s head on its shoulder cried out, and after another cheek shattered, the Midnight Butcher abandoned its snake body that was being invaded by the female teacher and rapidly fled toward the direction of the Deep Pit.

Liberted from the control of the child’s head, the snake body fragmented into countless residual souls. The Midnight Butcher’s body was composed of numerous children’s souls; it seemed like a monster from a nightmare that specifically preyed on children.

However, this child-eating monster’s current situation was quite grim.

It once again deeply felt the treachery of society. Although the Deep World was terrifying before, ferocity and bloodlust were overt, but since Han Fei’s arrival, such horror needed a new definition.

Several large-scaled grudges watched the fleeing Midnight Butcher but didn’t rush to pursue.

When the Midnight Butcher focused all its attention behind, a little girl suddenly appeared at the edge of the Deep Pit.

She stood in the middle of the path where the Midnight Butcher was retreating, slowly raising her head.

The pitch-black eye sockets seemed to hide another world, and as she opened her "eyes," countless other eyes on the wall opened as well.

The Midnight Butcher’s consciousness was pulled by an immense suction force, feeling as if it could no longer control its own body!

Footsteps sounded, and as the Midnight Butcher twisted its head, it suddenly found the world was turning upside down, spinning continuously.

The blade swept through, and the light of humanity burst forth in the night, Han Fei decapitated the Midnight Butcher with utmost speed.

Everything seemed as though it had been rehearsed countless times. The Midnight Butcher, on the verge of collapse, widened its eyes and looked at the figure standing in front of it, and then it heard the last sentence of its "human" life.

"Pet taming!"

"Taming unsuccessful! Player code 0000 please note! Grudge Energy cannot be tamed as a pet!"

The system’s alert cut off the Midnight Butcher’s last path of survival, and just before it disintegrated, it dimly saw a bridge leading to the other side. That bridge radiated the light of humanity, piercing into its heart and through its body.

"Player code 0000 please note! You have successfully slain a large-scaled grudge—Midnight Butcher! First-time kill receives extra experience rewards! Midnight Butcher’s exclusive hunting atlas unlocked!"

"Midnight Butcher’s exclusive hunting atlas: Slaughter can enhance the Midnight Butcher’s ability and also affect its consciousness. When killing prey larger than a large-scaled grudge, you shall receive extra experience rewards. When killing specific prey, you will have a chance to obtain special rewards."

"Note! This is not encouraging slaughter; it is a cultivation to see through one’s true heart."
