Chapter 375: Chapter 336: Mysterious Black Cat, Targeting Illusory Realm

"I’m fine."

At this moment, Tang Lin’er had regained consciousness and struggled to stand up, still wrestling with his emotions.

His expression alternated between fierce and extremely pained.

"It’s just that there’s someone else in my mind, always preventing me from letting go."

He appeared to be both crying and laughing.

He felt incredibly ashamed.

"Sleep for a while, and we’ll look into your problem later."

Zhou Ping’an knocked him out with a swift strike.

He also instructed Luo Hao to gather the soldiers, reassure the populace, and maintain the patrols’ vigilance...

Taking the small pouch that the soldiers found on the old woman’s corpse, he stuffed it into his space and turned to head back to his residence.

After walking a few steps, he paused, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

"What could it be?"

The Karmic Fire lightly oscillated in Zhou Ping’an’s mind, and the Red Lotus slowly bloomed.

In his heart, a state of calm and waveless serenity was restored.

That’s right.

He suddenly turned his head

and saw a tiny black cat sneaking toward the shadowy corner.

Instead of running away, the little creature kept looking back at Zhou Ping’an while quietly lifting its paws, making no sound at all, as if it were stealing.

"The old woman’s black cat."

Zhou Ping’an felt greatly intrigued.

Just for a moment.

He had really forgotten about the black cat; even upon reflection, he had completely forgotten the scene where it was once held in the old woman’s hands.

Not just him.

Including Green Lady, including Scattered Flower Celestial Maiden whose limbs were severed and captured, and even all the people around seemed to have overlooked this kitten.

"What kind of creature is this?"

Zhou Ping’an’s eyes flickered slightly, his figure moved, and his long sword transformed into a streak of light, slashing directly at the black cat.

His Sword Technique was extremely sharp and swift.

With a single move, he slashed over ten yards away.

He advanced with his sword.

The black cat arched its back in fright and let out a "meow" of alarm...

Zhou Ping’an thought it would flee again or hide.

But he never expected.

The little creature suddenly crouched low, bowed its head,

but its hind legs knelt on the ground while its front legs came together, shaking up and down as if... bowing!

The slashing of Zhou Ping’an’s long sword stopped three inches from the cat’s head, causing the fine cat fur to ripple like waves. The blade halted...

Upon closer inspection, this kitten truly seemed to be bowing.

"Is it so sentient?"

Zhou Ping’an felt greatly amazed.

He had never seen such a human-like, frightened, and begging creature before.

His heart softened, and he could no longer bring himself to strike.

However, thinking one thing was one thing, and acting was another.

He scolded with a stern face, "Sentience is one thing, but loyalty is another matter. Your master was just killed by me, and now you start begging for mercy, that’s really spineless."

The small black cat’s orange-yellow eyes, for some reason, clearly expressed grievance, brimming with tears.

It then turned to the old woman’s headless corpse and spat disdainfully twice.

It also lay on the ground, rolling its eyes and sticking out its tongue, pretending to be on its last breath.

"You mean she always controlled you, beat you if you disobeyed, and almost killed you."

Zhou Ping’an silently empathized with the little creature’s anxious emotions and apparently understood its actions, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"You are about to become enlightened, aren’t you? Well, after all, it’s a life. Even though you had the misfortune of following the wrong master, as long as you are willing to reform, you can still be a good cat."

"Yo, it’s even a female cat, with such dark fur; let’s call you Black Ya."

Zhou Ping’an picked up the little black cat with his left hand, and saw it constantly rubbing its fluffy head against him, seemingly trying to curry favor.

"Tsk tsk..."

While Zhou Ping’an marveled inwardly, he thought that if the "cat slaves" from modern society saw such a cute and human-like kitten, they would probably go completely mad.

Unfortunately, in this Another World, there seems to be no appearance of "cat slaves."

Black Ya’s performance was like casting pearls before swine.

...

"Is everything alright?"

Back in the backyard, he saw Lin Huaiyu holding a sword in the central courtyard, her white clothing fluttering.

There was chaos within the city.

Zhou Ping’an took the initiative to strike while Lin Huaiyu guarded the home.

She had utmost faith in Zhou Ping’an and wasn’t worried that anything would happen to him.

Upon seeing him now, her face showed a trace of shock.

She had never seen Zhou Ping’an’s complexion so pale.

It seemed he had lost a great deal of Qi-Blood.

His injuries appeared very severe.

"It’s nothing; just that the old woman’s dying strike gathered her Martial Intent into the Erosion of Essence and Melting of Bones, which was a bit tricky to handle," Zhou Ping’an said with a smile: "With the Life and Death Impermanence Heart Technique, I can turn deadly energy into life force. Although her cultivation technique was exceedingly vicious, it still couldn’t overcome me..."

This was true.

Zhou Ping’an had now discovered.

The "Life and Death Impermanence" technique he had obtained from the Baicao Hall’s Master seemed to be extraordinarily profound, likely a split from a high Immortal Scripture.

Although this secret technique had not touched upon any specific rules when refined to completion,

it possessed a force almost like that of the rules themselves.

Any kind of strange Qi, dead Qi, or diseased Qi that entered the body could be transformed.

However, this time, Granny Yan’s attack was overly concentrated, and he just needed a little time to dissipate this sinister and eerie force.

"Is it even more powerful than the Divine Arrow of the Red Lotus Yi Heavenly King?"

Lin Huaiyu expressed her worries and confusion.

"That’s not necessarily the case."

Zhou Ping’an carefully compared the two and said, "I can only say that both are experts of the Mortal Rank Nine Refinements Third Realm who utilize insubstantiality to form substance. But that day, because the Heavenly King’s arrow was fired from a great distance and I managed to dissipate about seventy to eighty percent of its power with my Sword Technique before it hit me."
