Chapter 88 – Father is kind and son is filial


Crack! Crack! Crack!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless ice spikes and wind blades followed Ye Shuangluo like shadows, continuously reaping the lives of the white-robed men.

In this endless slaughter, [Mortal Kill] also began to undergo a transformation.

Slash!

After beheading the last white-robed man, Ye Shuangluo turned to look at the only living being left behind him.

At this moment, he resembled a demon that had just crawled out of hell. Just being stared at by him made Bai Ge’s heart skip a few beats.

He swallowed hard and quickly shouted, “I’m on your side!”

“…I know.”

Ye Shuangluo’s voice was as cold as millennium-old ice, and his blood-red hair slowly turned back to black.

Bai Ge was still hesitant to approach; the scene of Ye Shuangluo’s massacre had utterly terrified him.

When Ye Shuangluo looked at him, he even thought Ye Shuangluo had gone berserk and might deal with him as well.

[Your skill: Blade Proficiency level up]

[Your skill: Blade Proficiency level up]

[Your skill: Blade Proficiency level up]

[Your skill: Wind Affinity level up]

[Your skill: Ice Obedience level up]

[Comprehended special skill: Menacing Star]

The game system’s notifications kept ringing in his ears, but Ye Shuangluo didn’t check them immediately.

“They’re all dead, let’s go.”

“…This isn’t what I expected.”

Bai Ge stepped over the corpses and came to Ye Shuangluo’s side.

His original plan was for the two of them to sneak in and find a chance to take out Bai Yu.

He truly hadn’t expected so many guards here, nor had he expected Ye Shuangluo to charge through them all by himself.

(What terrifying strength… Perhaps only Zhou Boyu could match him.)

Watching the young man’s back, Bai Ge suddenly became very curious.

If Ye Shuangluo really fought with the invincible Zhou Boyu, who would come out on top?

Such things… only a fight could tell.

The two walked side by side and soon arrived in front of a crystal coffin.

Inside the coffin, a young man who appeared to be about 20 years old was sleeping.

Bai Ge kicked the coffin unceremoniously.

“Old man, wake up.”

The crystal coffin trembled slightly, and the young man’s brow furrowed.

Bai Ge walked over without hesitation, lifted the coffin lid, and pulled the young man out.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

He slapped the young man’s face back and forth, delivering a dozen slaps without mercy.

As long as the young man didn’t wake up, Bai Ge continued to slap him.

In less than five minutes, the young man’s face was swollen like a pig’s head.

At this point, the young man finally awoke from his slumber.

“Old man, finally awake.”

Seeing his father finally awake, the filial son Bai Ge happily drew a sword and stabbed it into his body.

The young man remained expressionless, as if he wasn’t the one being stabbed.

“You really are terrifyingly strong.”

Since waking up, his eyes hadn’t left Ye Shuangluo for a moment.

That gaze was like a fanatical collector seeing a rare treasure that no one else had discovered.

Ye Shuangluo frowned slightly and said to Bai Ge, “Are you sure you can handle this? He doesn’t seem to feel anything.”

Before Bai Ge could speak, his father interjected.

“Hahaha, you want him to torture me?”

Bai Yu laughed wildly, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain.

“I haven’t felt pain for over a decade, what good is torturing my body?”

Seeing Bai Ge’s torture having no effect, Ye Shuangluo silently activated the Asura Demon Eye and took out the [Ghost Luo Blade], preparing to step in himself.

At this moment, Bai Ge drew another sword and stabbed it into his father’s body.

The previously relaxed father, who could even joke around, suddenly changed his expression.

“Ugh.”

He spat out a mouthful of blood, looking incredulously at Bai Ge.

“Hiss~ It hurts so much, how is this possible, why does it hurt so much!”

Bai Ge stood up, using his mind to control the dozen swords embedded in his father’s body to start rotating.

“…Did you think you were the only one working to develop your abilities? Over the years, I’ve been working hard to develop my abilities to counter your body that can’t feel pain.

Since your flesh can’t feel pain, I’ll target your soul directly.”

“Impossible! It was useless just now!”

Bai Yu screamed hysterically, the soul-piercing pain far surpassing any physical pain.

The smile on Bai Ge’s face gradually became crazed and twisted.

“Of course, it was intentional. If someone starts in hell, it’s certainly painful.

But if someone starts in heaven and suddenly falls into hell, that pain is doubled~

Father~ I’ve prepared hundreds of torture devices for you, so make sure to hold on, don’t die halfway.”

Seeing this, Ye Shuangluo finally relaxed, placing a few small red (health potions) on the ground and explaining their use to Bai Ge.

Then he quietly distanced himself from the father and son, having no interest in listening to a man’s wailing.

Only when Bai Yu’s screams could no longer be heard did Ye Shuangluo call up the system panel to check his gains from the battle.

[Blade Proficiency LV.4]

[Effect: Increases damage by 22% (+12%) when using blade weapons]

[Wind Affinity LV.4]

[Effect: Wind Element Resistance +60 (+20), restores 15 (+5) Health Points per second]

[Ice Obedience LV.4]

[Effect: Ice Element Resistance +60 (+20)]

After testing, the shaping and various aspects of the wind and ice elements had improved significantly.

Ye Shuangluo pondered, perhaps it was time to try a deeper development.

After reviewing the three old skills, Ye Shuangluo turned his attention to the new friend born from this battle.

[Menacing Star LV.Max]

[Type: Special Skill/Passive]

[Effect: Each time you kill a living being, you gather a small amount of Killing Aura

When the Killing Aura is sufficient, anyone who looks at you will understand your power]

[Description: This is a special Killing Aura skill that only those favored by fate can comprehend]

This skill… seems useless, but it might come in handy in the future.

Ye Shuangluo noticed that after comprehending this skill, the [Killing Aura Special Advancement Clue One] in his inventory turned to ashes.

Was it because he had already comprehended it, so it disappeared?

Or was it a wrong evolution, thinking there was no hope?

Ye Shuangluo shrugged, fortunate if gained, fate if lost, no need to dwell on it.

[Asura’s Body Growth: Armor +5, Tenacity +5 in normal state]

This Asura’s Body is interesting, can it grow just by continuous fighting?

Unfortunately, it requires activating the God of Slaughter mode to synchronize with it.

But it’s not a big problem; he had a feeling he would encounter many more battles where he would take on hundreds alone.

He didn’t know if it was luck or misfortune.

Ye Shuangluo shook his head and finally looked at the [Mortal Kill] in his hand.

[Demon Blood Value: 120% (can grow)]

With a thought, several options appeared on his retina.

[Option 1: Add a new special effect (quality limit reached, temporarily unavailable)]

[Option 2: Permanently increase durability limit by 20]

[Option 3: Sharpness +5]

Ye Shuangluo thought for a moment, the current durability of [Mortal Kill] was sufficient, so it was better to continue enhancing its sharpness.

He chose option 3.

With his choice, [Mortal Kill] was enveloped in a layer of blood-red mist.

When the mist dissipated, its sharpness had reached a new level.

[Sharpness: 17 (+5)]
