Chapter 161: Immortality is shattered
With the slight cracking sound of the charcoal crust, the last barrier completed its mission, and the light seeping out of the coke revealed in the air for a moment, a huge outline as complex as a nebula.
As soon as it appears, there is a fleeting beauty.
In the end, it was gone.
And the last glimmer of hope in the old man's heart was silently shattered, and he suddenly let out a scream, and rushed forward desperately, ignoring the wrist that was locked by the palm of the hand, pinching the neck of the coke forming a vague human shape, and screaming hoarsely and twisted: "Dan! Dan! My Seven Star Pill! My Dan! β¦β¦β
"Hey...... Old man, you're very wordy......"
Between the vague human form, an impatient, angry voice appeared. With the old man's violent movements, cracks spread in the coke shell with a 'click' sound, and the ash shell finally shattered, revealing half of the pale side face hidden deep in it.
It's like a millennium after being dusted in fossils, time has destroyed the last shackles, and the creatures that have been sleeping in them wake up.
Bai Shuo's side face was revealed in the old man's eyes, the corners of his lips curled up in an indifferent arc, and the eyes that had been closed finally opened.
Suddenly a red gold color that looked like metal was burning appeared in the gray Dan furnace, and the burning pupils were reflected in the old man's crazy eyes. For a moment, the old man seemed to have the illusion that he was burning, and he couldn't help screaming and wanted to retreat, but his wrist was locked by Bai Shuo's palm.
"Impossible! How could it be! How can you still be alive! β¦β¦ What about the Seven Star Pills! ......" The old man screamed incoherently, his face pale: "Yes, it must be the Seven Star Pill, it must be the Seven Star Pill that was swallowed by you!" β
His face immediately turned hideous, and he pounced on Bai Shuo again: "Give it back to me!" You liar! Give it to me! β
"I said, you're annoying!" Bai Shuo's hoarse voice, like the sound of a dry wind blowing in the desert, exploded in the old man's ears like thunder from under the cover of ashes, making his screams stop, and his eyes looked at Bai Shuo dullly, unable to speak in a daze.
A series of crackling sounds sounded, and the cracking sound on the charcoal shell sounded like firecrackers, and the cracks gradually covered the entire humanoid coke in the sound, and finally completely shattered, detached from Bai Shuo's body, and fell to the ground, piling up a small pile of black dust. When a fresh wind blew, the dust dissipated silently, leaving only Bai Shuo, which seemed to have been sealed in the rock for thousands of years.
Bai Shuo struggled to move his body, detached from that solid shell, and let out a dry breath in his throat: "Whew...... Ha ......"
It was as if he hadn't drunk water for thousands of years, his breathing was hoarse as if it was about to break, and there were faint signs of dryness on the skin above and below his body. Under that intense temperature, it is enough to be glad to be able to keep his surname, and he has exceeded Bai Shuo's expectations without being disfigured like a severely burned patient, and he can only be said to be too lucky if he is only dry and cracked.
Like a patient who was dying, Bai Shuo greedily sucked every bit of cold air and mist in the air. As he breathed, a large amount of scorching air spurted out of his mouth and nose, and the residual heat emanating from his body alone made the old man's body feel a burning pain.
The large amount of heat emanating from Bai Shuo's body suddenly caused a layer of warm dew to form on the inner wall of the Dan furnace, and bursts of steam-like mist rose from the top of his head, and traces of blood rose from under his chapped skin.
The real crisis had already passed, but the successive sequelae were enough to minimize Bai Shuo's combat effectiveness.
However, Bai Shuo felt that it didn't matter how low his combat power was now, as long as he was higher than the old bone in front of him!
As his head lifted, the red golden burning pupils revealed into the old man's sight. The sharp pain came from the old man's wrist bone, and Bai Shuo's arm suddenly tightened and pulled down at the same time, turning the old man to the ground with a soft sound.
"Now......" Bai Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the old guy crawling on the ground: "We should settle the score." β
"Impossible...... Impossible......" The old man was crawling on the ground, his ten fingers constantly rummaging among the ashes, and his eyes were dull: "What about the Seven Star Pill...... Where's my Seven Star Pill......"
The sole of one foot slammed on his back, and the huge pressure made him can't help but look back at the young man with a hideous expression.
Now blood has begun to ooze from under the chapped skin on Bai Shuo's face, as if he is wearing a blood-colored cracked mask, which looks hideous and abnormal, and the anger and disdain in his eyes add two points of horror:
"You don't have to look for it, you can't find it."
The old man kept rummaging through the black ashes, his fingers trembling, and he screamed, "Impossible! β
"Would you say anything else?" The strength on Bai Shuo's feet increased by two points again, making his breathing begin to be difficult, the old man turned his head and looked at his right hand with hatred, and his voice was intermittent and full of anger: "Severed limbs are reborn...... You swallowed my Seven Star Pill ......"
Bai Shuo took a deep breath, squatted down suddenly, pinched the old thing's hair with his left hand and lifted his body, stretched out his right hand, and placed it in front of the old man's eyes, a pinch of black ash in his palm was extremely eye-catching.
Bai Shuo sneered and said, "Your so-called Seven Star Pill is this kind of thing...... It's too fragile, as long as ......"
He took a breath and exhaled slowly, so that in the faint air current, the pinch of black ash flew up and disappeared into the air.
"Just blow and it's gone."
When the black ash in his palm dissipated, the old man's attention focused on Bai Shuo's lost right hand. For some reason, he felt an unforgettable hatred coming from his right armβnot from Bai Shuo, but from the palm of his thoughtless hand!
"It's gone...... It's gone......" The old man's eyes were in a trance, and he muttered to himself as he looked at the two ashes in Bai Shuo's palm, and his voice was choked and sharp: "My immortality!" My Seven Star Pill! β
After the old man lost his last hope, he screamed and struggled under Bai Shuo's hands, attacking Bai Shuo's body desperately, hitting Bai Shuo's arm: "You kill me!" You killed me! β
"What a coincidence, I'm just about to do that." Bai Shuo sneered: "But first......"
"One ......" Bai Shuo's mouth spit out inexplicable numbers, and at the same time, the old man's sharp cry of pain sounded. At this moment, the old man's arm made a cracking sound, and it was crushed by Bai Shuo's right hand.
The "second ......" shattered the left hand this time, and it was still Bai Shuo's right hand that moved.
Bai Shuo let go of his left hand, threw his body to the ground, squatted down, pinched his right hand into a hammer, squinted one eye and gestured towards his left leg: "Three ......"
"Ahh The hoarse howl rang out again.
"Four!" Bai Shuo's right hand smashed down for the last time, and the old thing's limbs were all shattered, turning into a strange look.
Every time he smashed it, Bai Shuo could feel the hatred and pleasure coming from his right hand. Until finally, the bloodthirsty killing intent flowed up from his right arm, almost drowning him.
It was the hatred left by the demon fetus on his right arm, unforgettable, even if it was already dead, it was entangled in the depths of his arm, and it could not be dissipated.
"Now, go die." Bai Shuo lifted the old thing that writhed like a reptile on the ground, looked at his frightened and dull eyes, and threw him into the Dan furnace.
As if to understand something, the old and ugly man writhed on the ground, screaming in pain: "Don't ...... No! β
"It's late......" Bai Shuo stood next to the Dan Furnace, looked at him indifferently, and pulled the hub of the Dan Furnace with his right hand, so the open Dan Furnace closed again.
Darkness was falling, the dim light was condensed into a line, and it was about to disappear, and the old thing screamed with all his strength: "Don't! β
It was as if Heaven had received his prayer.
Bai Shuo suddenly opened the shell of the Dan furnace again, and smiled lovingly: "If you don't want to turn it off, you won't turn it off......"
The old man grasped the last hope, endured the pain and said hurriedly: "Don't kill me!" I'll teach you Lian Huo Dan! I know the basilisk's treasure! I'll tell you all, I'll tell you all! β
ββ¦β¦ But you're still going to die! β
The soft smile on Bai Shuo's face instantly turned hideous, and his right hand twisted in a place that the old man couldn't see, so a trace of turbid flames erupted from the Dan furnace step.
Unlike white or cyan flames, this is the weakest firepower, but it's enough to make the old thing die in torment.
At that moment, Bai Shuo's arm seemed to be out of his control and chose the most cruel method.
The flames suddenly rose and spread, engulfing the old thing in it. A howl of pain came from the flames, and a twisted body could be seen tumbling, turning into charcoal.
Just as the screams were getting lower, the final curse scream rang out from the depths of the flames: "Pangolins! β¦β¦ Pangolin, you lied to me! β¦β¦ Pangolin! β
The old man cursed all the causes with all his vicious words, screaming; Drops of water emerge from the dry tear glands, but they evaporate as soon as they appear. In the flames, he choked silently and wept.
The intense pain blurred his mind, and the severe pain evoked memories of his previous years. Before the darkness struck, the silhouette of his life suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the faces of countless people, among them were his parents, his wife, and the green snake...... In the end, they all disappeared silently. As the delusions he had followed all his life shattered, the last bit of strength sent his hoarse vocal cords into a faint cry.
"Immortal ......"
In the next moment, the flames ripped through the vocal cords, and the silent torture continued.
From beginning to end, Bai Shuo squatted on the stone at the opening of the Dan furnace, indifferently watching the ugly figure turn into ashes little by little, and finally completely disappear into this world.
When the flame was finally extinguished, he sighed slowly: "What I promised you, ...... done"
