At the same time.

At this moment, Qing Shuang...

Her consciousness had once again returned to the day she and her sister were exiled from the Ghost Race.

The cold rain mixed with mud, and the air was filled with the scent of blood.

She was trapped in a rough wooden cage, imposed with a restriction, completely soaked, and shivering.

But it wasn't from the cold, it was from extreme fear.

She watched in horror as her father...

To protect the sisters, was publicly crushed in the head by the Great Elder of the Ghost Race under the charge of "sheltering the ominous"!

The rain mixed with blood made the atmosphere at the scene even more desperate.

Inside the cage, Qing Shuang's nails deeply gouged into her palms.

Blood flowed down her hands, but she couldn't feel any pain.

Yet at this moment, on the other side...

"Sister! Sister, save me!!"

Fei Yue's fear-filled cries pierced through the veil of rain.

A fierce-looking Ghost Race warrior was grinning savagely, lifting her high into the air.

"Kill them! These sisters are the source of misfortune!"

"It's because of them that calamity was brought upon us!"

"Purge the clan! To eliminate future troubles!"

At this moment, the faces of those surrounding clan members were full of fanaticism.

Their shouts completely drowned out the last glimmer of hope Qing Shuang had.

She frantically crashed against the wooden cage, her forehead bloodied, her voice already hoarse:

"Let her go! I beg you! Spare my sister!"

"It's all my fault! Come at me! Come at me instead!!"

It was all in vain.

Pleading, crying, even kowtowing...

Brought only more piercing ridicule and colder stares.

No one paid attention to the nearly mad girl in the cage, no one showed even a shred of pity.

Then, in her eyes that were wide to the point of tearing...

The Ghost Race warrior, with a cruel smile, loosened his grip.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

She saw her sister's small body trace a brief arc through the air.

"Thud——!!!"

A muffled sound, accompanied by the faint sound of bones cracking, entered her ears clearly.

The small figure in the cage suddenly went rigid.

Her tear-filled eyes opened to their widest in an instant.

Reflected in her pupils was the glaring, motionless crimson on the ground not far away.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely, freeze at this moment.

Her mouth was open, yet no sound could come out.

All cries, all pleas were choked dead in the depth of her throat.

The sound of the whole world vanished, leaving only the thunderous booming of her heart about to explode in her chest.

And she could even hear clearly the slight creaking noise of her nails digging deep into the wooden bars.

No hysterical cries, no collapsing struggle.

The ultimate grief surpassed the limits of what flesh could express, instead revealing a bizarre stillness.

She just stared fixedly in that direction, her body uncontrollably trembling violently.

Soon, coldness spread swiftly from the depths of her heart.

Freezing her blood, her marrow, her soul.

It was a chill more terrifying than death, stripping away all emotions, leaving only boundless emptiness and numbness.

Then, amidst the utmost coldness, her vision began to undergo bizarre changes.

The gray sky rapidly faded to a ghastly white, and the muddy ground lost all its hues.

The fierce or frenzied faces of those surrounding Ghost Race members blurred swiftly, like faded murals, leaving only distorted outlines.

Rainwater ceased to be transparent, turning into gray and white threads.

Only the glaring crimson on the ground, like ink dropped into clear water, began to spread and diffuse wildly!

The blood color quickly dyed the ghastly white sky, turning the withered earth red.

Sketching those blurred outlines of the Ghost Race into dark red ghostly shadows!

The entire world was being stripped of all real colors at a heart-palpitating speed.

Covered completely by a viscous, oppressive, destruction-filled dark red.

Meanwhile, an alluring whisper quietly crept into her heart.

"Look… this is the clan you want to protect…"

"They betrayed you, killed your closest kin…"

"Does it hurt? Are you angry? Do you resent?"

"Kill… kill them all!"

"Destroy everything! Let blood wash away your hatred!"

"Only slaughter can quell your suffering!"

"Avenge… make all who wronged you pay the price!"

The voice grew louder and louder, eventually transforming into a thundering roar, echoing in every corner of her consciousness!

The blood color gradually engulfed her pupils.

The intent to kill seemed to have shattered the last thread of sanity.

...

In the inner world.

Gu Xing's consciousness finally pierced through layers of blood waves and slaughter illusions, seeing Qing Shuang.

However, the scene in front of him made his heart clench abruptly.

Qing Shuang was now quietly floating in the center of a solitary island.

Her eyes had completely turned into blood-red.

Her formerly blue long hair had now turned entirely into the color of blood.

At this moment, it moved without wind, as if it were alive.

Moreover, the Slaughter Law surrounding her was no longer overflowing...

But instead, had completely fused with her consciousness, transforming into a tangible dark red crystal armor.

She stood there, no longer in pain, no longer struggling.

Only an absolute silence that chilled the soul.

What shocked Gu Xing even more was...

The Beast Taming Contract between him and Qing Shuang had become extremely dim and almost transparent.

As if it could break at any moment!

This also meant that Qing Shuang was rapidly perishing, being replaced by pure slaughter intent!

"Qing Shuang!"

Gu Xing tried to rush over.

However, an intent full of repulsion and hostility, like an invisible wall, slammed him outside!

The Qing Shuang in front slowly lifted her blood-colored eyes, giving him an indifferent glance.

That gaze, hollow, cold, without a shred of emotion.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xing's heart sank hard.

Qing Shuang could no longer recognize him!

Gu Xing felt intense pain in his heart, but he didn't give up.

He immediately began using all sorts of methods, attempting to awaken Qing Shuang.

"Celestial Grace!"

A gentle Purification Power surged towards Qing Shuang like a tide.

However, when this light touched the dark red crystal-like Slaughter Armor...

It sizzled like water dripped on burning iron, evaporating and bouncing off instantly!

The Slaughter Law had deeply merged with Qing Shuang, and Celestial Grace was no longer effective!

"Damn it!"

After cursing, Gu Xing immediately tried other methods.

"Divine Pattern!"

He activated the Divine Pattern with all his might, trying to resonate with the Divine Pattern inside Qing Shuang.

The moment Gu Xing released the Divine Pattern, the entire blood sea seemed to pause slightly.

But this was Qing Shuang's inner world!

After mere moments.

A sharper and purer "slaughter" intent shot into the sky.

It forcefully pushed back the Divine Pattern!

Gu Xing then tried using Sovereign, Soul-devouring...

But every attempt ended in failure again and again.

Gu Xing's consciousness became somewhat illusory due to excessive power exhaustion, and he half-kneeled in the Void.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness flooded his heart.

Can't save her?

Could it be...

Do I really have to watch Qing Shuang completely become a puppet that only knows slaughter?

Gu Xing once again sensed the Beast Taming Contract.

At this moment, it was so transparent that it was almost invisible!

Should I give up?

But before Gu Xing could find an answer in his heart, a sudden change occurred!

The previously motionless Qing Shuang seemed to be enraged by Gu Xing's repeated provocations.

She slowly lifted her hand, and endless Slaughter Laws gathered in her palm!

Her blood-colored eyes locked onto Gu Xing, the killing intent enveloping him as if it were real!

She's going to strike!
