Chapter 89 – Blade of Truth and Reality


Ye Shuangluo swung the [Mortal Kill]. Originally, it could shatter countless green-quality weapons with its white quality.

Now, with its sharpness increased, it could easily destroy the enemy’s weapons and defenses.

Looking at the chilling [Mortal Kill], Ye Shuangluo had a sudden thought and used it to cut his own arm.

As a result, his impressive 66 points of [Armor] attribute seemed as fragile as paper, offering no protection as his arm was cut open.

“…It seems the [Armor] attribute isn’t high enough.”

Ye Shuangluo shook his head, and the wound on his arm quickly scabbed over and healed.

Over there, Bai Yu’s life force was growing weaker and weaker.

It seemed to be over.

Ye Shuangluo slowly walked toward Bai Ge and Bai Yu, the father and son.

As he got closer, the stench of blood hit him.

The ground was covered with chunks of flesh, internal organs, arms, thighs, and calves.

Judging by the mountain of body parts, it must have taken dismembering hundreds of people to create such a scene.

“Kill me, please, kill me.”

Bai Yu had become a human swine, his hands and feet all severed, internal organs removed and discarded.

It was hard to imagine how he was still alive, his voice barely a whisper, but both people present could hear it.

His good son, Bai Ge, was displeased and summoned a small green sword, stabbing it into his heart.

“Father! What are you saying? Our time of father-son affection isn’t over yet.”

With the insertion of the green sword, Bai Yu’s severed limbs rapidly regenerated, and his removed organs quickly reformed.

His eyes were filled with despair, knowing that a new round of torment was about to begin.

“Haha, this is the peculiarity of special ability users. No matter what their innate ability is, their growth direction is related to the host’s later thoughts.

Like my ability, clearly meant for torture and interrogation, but because I feared you’d die too easily, I forcibly developed it into a healing weapon.

Superpowers, fascinating, aren’t they?”

Ye Shuangluo quietly watched this scene from the side, naturally noticing.

As Bai Yu’s body regenerated, Bai Ge’s hair turned a bit white, and his life force quickly weakened.

He had to take a small red bottle (health potion) and drink it.

Equivalent exchange, perhaps?

Ye Shuangluo silently speculated in his heart, clearly seeing that Bai Ge’s remaining lifespan and physical state were rapidly declining.

At most, he could use the green sword two or three more times before dying on the spot. The small red bottle could only restore his health points, not his lifespan.

At this point, he wouldn’t ask if it was worth it.

Because he could feel that Bai Ge was genuinely joyful and excited at this moment.

Half an hour later

Bai Ge tried to summon the green sword again, but this time, halfway through, he couldn’t hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Shuangluo drew the [Ghost Luo Blade] and swiftly decapitated Bai Yu, bringing an end to this father-son drama.

“Cough… Can’t hold on anymore, I wanted to play a bit longer.”

Bai Ge rolled over and lay spread-eagle on the ground.

Ye Shuangluo looked at his weakened state and slowly said:

“Do you have any last wishes? You can tell me, but I won’t fulfill them.”

“Haha.”

Bai Ge wanted to laugh, but he didn’t even have the strength for that.

“I’m satisfied, thank you, you’re truly a good person.”

“…Even on your deathbed, you give me a Good Person Card. Truly, you are a filial son.”

Bai Ge was momentarily stunned by the term “filial son,” then realized.

“Indeed, my father and I are truly ‘Father is kind and son is filial’… I must hold on a bit longer, I don’t want to walk the path to the afterlife with that old man, to avoid him tainting my path to reincarnation.”

He coughed blood as he spoke, soon staining the mask on his face with blood.

Ye Shuangluo looked at the mask stuck to his face and, with a wave of his hand, shattered it with the blade.

Beneath the mask was a face full of wrinkles and scars.

“Do I still look like that old man now? I used to cut my face with a knife every day, but I still ended up looking like him.”

Bai Ge looked at him with hope, clearly anticipating an answer.

Ye Shuangluo looked at the face that seemed at least 80 years old and chose to tell the truth:

“You look more like an old man than he does now.”

“…Alright, it seems I can never escape the face that old man gave me in this life.”

Bai Ge slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he struggled to open them again.

“Do you regret it?”

Ye Shuangluo suddenly asked, and Bai Ge seemed surprised by the question, but he used his last bit of strength to laugh heartily:

“Hahaha! Why would I regret it?

I don’t want to live a hundred years in misery, I’d rather be a moth drawn to a flame, even if my life’s highlight lasts only three seconds, I’m willing!

Ye Shuangluo, thank you, before I die, let me give you a gift.”

With that, he stood up again, his last burst of energy, and with great difficulty, summoned a completely transparent weapon, handing it to the young man before him.

[Blade of Truth and Reality]

[Quality: #teyinwpopo]

[Effect: #coupoqiejrou’n]

[Evaluation: ……]

……

It was the first time Ye Shuangluo had seen equipment filled with gibberish.

“This was entrusted to me by someone, and now I entrust it to you. One day, it will serve its purpose.”

Bai Ge placed his left hand on his chest, his body slightly bowed.

“In the days to come, I wish you great martial fortune.”

With those words, his body collapsed, leaving this world forever.

Ye Shuangluo tilted his head and stored his body in the space backpack.

After all, his father’s body was still nearby, and although he didn’t say it before he died, this top-notch filial son surely wouldn’t want to be with his father’s body.

As for how to handle his body?

Ye Shuangluo didn’t know. He planned to ask Lu Feiyang, Huo Ling, and others who had spent more time with Bai Ge.

It’s worth mentioning that the moment Bai Ge handed over the [Blade of Truth and Reality], it transformed into a blue light and entered Ye Shuangluo’s body.

Ultimately, it became a mark on his wrist.

He wondered if it was an illusion, but when the [Blade of Truth and Reality] entered his body, he felt as if [Mortal Kill] was angry.

The feeling was fleeting, and he even doubted if it was an illusion.

But his perception had long been extraordinary; could he be mistaken?

As Ye Shuangluo pondered, he returned to the surface.

It was already night, and countless malicious stars shone down on him.

Skillfully ignoring them, Ye Shuangluo called up the quest log and chose to submit the side quest.

[Submit Yes/No]

“Yes.”

[Congratulations, player, for completing the side quest: Only I Kill People, When Is It Their Turn to Kill Me]
