Chapter 115: Dreaming (Emperor Yan Bonus Chapter)
Actually, when Wu Ziming proposed to share the oasis water equally, he had already secretly tampered with it, adding something to one person’s share.
Whether it was Ye Changsheng, Zhong Yanhan, Liu Kai, or disciples from other peaks, they all drank it.
Better to kill them by mistake than let any of them off.
Now, Wu Ziming felt that his ruthlessness was truly worth it! No one could resist him alone anymore.
Ye Changsheng, sprawled on the ground, said with difficulty, “Wu Ziming, you… you’ve gone mad…”
Upon hearing this, Wu Ziming’s laughter became even more unbridled.
“Mad? Yes, yes, yes, I’m mad, I’ve gone mad! It’s all your fault, Ye Changsheng, you drove me mad!!”
Wu Ziming clutched his head, his fingernails almost tearing his scalp, drawing out beads of blood.
A person who usually appeared normal now looked like a yaksha demon from hell.
“Why should it be like this?”
“Ye Changsheng, I’m truly unconvinced. Why are you always favored by other women, while no matter how hard I try, no one even glances at me!”
“If you want to kill Ye Changsheng, why drag me into it, Wu Ziming,” Liu Kai gasped, clutching his neck, “Aren’t we… friends?”
“Who the hell is friends with you? You fat pig, I’ll fuck your mother!”
Wu Ziming stomped on Liu Kai’s back.
Since Liu Kai was in no condition to circulate his Spiritual Power, one stomp from Wu Ziming broke several of his bones, eliciting a groan as he collapsed to the ground.
Yet, Wu Ziming showed him no pity, continuously trampling on his former friend as if he were a traitor.
“Liu Kai! Don’t forget how you and Zhao Gao distanced yourselves from me after the Sect Competition!”
“Th-that was…”
“Shut up, daring to quibble!”
Wu Ziming slapped Liu Kai across the face, instantly mangling his flesh.
“Seeing me bullied by Ye Changsheng and the others, why didn’t you, my friends, step forward to speak for me! Why did you stand with them? Don’t think I don’t know, you were all badmouthing me behind my back, drawing a line between us!”
“I was wrong, I was wrong…” Liu Kai held his head, begging for mercy.
But Wu Ziming remained unmoved, even increasing his force.
“Yes, you were wrong, terribly wrong! That’s why you must pay the price! It’s my regret that Zhao Gao, that idiot, couldn’t kill him himself! But don’t worry, Liu Kai, I’ll finish you myself! The ‘mercy’ of a friend!”
The two disciples from other peaks standing nearby were already trembling in fear.
They had no idea what was happening and couldn’t comprehend why Wu Ziming was acting so insanely.
“Brother Wu Ziming, we are innocent… spare us. We won’t interfere in your grievances with Liu Kai and Ye Changsheng!”
“Yes, yes, please spare us. We had nothing to do with this from the beginning…”
The two Sword Sect disciples pleaded. Normally, they held a higher position than Wu Ziming in the sect, but due to the current situation, they had no choice but to lower their heads and beg for mercy.
“Heh, heh heh! If you live, you’ll report back to the sect, won’t you? Do you think we’re so stupid to let that happen?”
Wu Ziming’s tone was devoid of any sympathy. He didn’t mind dragging these two innocent people down with him.
His words chilled the Sword Sect disciples to the bone.
This Wu Ziming had clearly devolved into a complete lunatic, unwilling to listen to reason.
“What good will this do you, Wu Ziming…” Liu Kai asked weakly.
“Good? Of course, I’ll gain immensely! You don’t actually think I, Wu Ziming, am just killing you to vent my anger, do you? No, no, no!”
Wu Ziming burst into laughter.
“Not at all! I’ve already made a deal with Gongsun Wenyuan. As long as I follow his arrangements obediently, I will become the Chief Disciple of Azure Peak!”
That day, while venting his frustrations in the bamboo forest of Azure Peak, Wu Ziming encountered a man.
That man was Gongsun Wenyuan, who proposed a deal to Wu Ziming.
He asked Wu Ziming to assist him in secretly eliminating people from Azure Peak, specifically targeting Zhong Yanhan and Ye Changsheng.
As for the others, their fates would be decided according to Wu Ziming’s wishes.
Of course, under the guise of extremely despicable means.
When Wu Ziming heard this offer, he was greatly shocked.
Recalling the ambiguous relationship between Jiang Yang and Gongsun Wenyuan during their trip to Panyin Mountain, he realized that this True Disciple of Fengge Peak was a villain.
Initially, Wu Ziming hesitated. But then he remembered how Ye Changsheng had humiliated him, and how other women looked down on him in Ye Changsheng’s presence.
His rage and jealousy gradually consumed him, making him lose his original intention. His mind was filled only with sending Ye Changsheng to hell.
When Gongsun Wenyuan asked for his decision, Wu Ziming had only one answer.
Liu Kai exclaimed in shock, “You actually cooperated with Gongsun Wenyuan!”
“Yes, that’s right. Didn’t expect it, did you? Didn’t expect it! Heh heh,” Wu Ziming covered his mouth and giggled, “As long as I cooperate with him and eliminate the obstacles Zhong Yanhan and Ye Changsheng, Gongsun Wenyuan will naturally have no rivals in the Sword Sect! He’ll become the Chief Disciple, and he’ll naturally help me in secret to become a True Disciple of Azure Peak!”
The True Disciples of the White Emperor Sword Sect obtained opportunities and Cultivation Techniques far superior to ordinary disciples. Their resources were also the envy of ordinary Inner Disciples.
However, the opportunity to become a True Disciple was extremely demanding, requiring extraordinary talent.
But Wu Ziming knew his own aptitude was very ordinary within the White Emperor Sword Sect, offering no chance for advancement.
Yet, the conditions Gongsun Wenyuan offered him this time fulfilled all of Wu Ziming’s desires, whether it was eliminating Ye Changsheng or becoming a True Disciple and achieving great success…
It was perfect!
“Anyway, you’ll die in the Boundless Desert, and there will be no proof. After I, Wu Ziming, eliminate you, I’ll leave the Boundless Desert with Gongsun Wenyuan and return to the White Emperor Sword Sect. Whatever happened will be determined by our words, won’t it?”
Wu Ziming had witnessed Gongsun Wenyuan’s extraordinary capabilities and knew he was no ordinary person, which gave him the opportunity to cooperate with him.
“You are a despicable scoundrel who sold out his fellow disciples for personal gain, Wu Ziming!” Ye Changsheng said with disdain.
“Oh my, Ye Changsheng, why are you so flustered? Where did your usual arrogant and cool demeanor go? And Gongsun Wenyuan said you had hidden strength, but this is it?”
Wu Ziming brought his hand to his ear, leaning closer to Ye Changsheng.
“Shout, shout louder, I’m listening!”
“…”
“Not shouting anymore? Heh heh! Then I’ll send you all on your way one by one!” Wu Ziming drew his Magic Sword.
Brother Chen still hadn’t returned, so it was likely he had indeed run into trouble as Wu Ziming had said.
Most likely, Gongsun Wenyuan had trapped Brother Chen with some scheme, and this colorless and odorless liquid, indistinguishable from pure water, was also likely created by that System.
“Fat pig, for betraying me! I’ll burn you to ashes later!”
Wu Ziming first struck Liu Kai with his sword, shattering his Meridian Cycle, forcing his Spirit Power to circulate, spreading the poison throughout his body.
“Ah!” Liu Kai’s face turned black and purple, and he fainted, his breathing growing weak.
The other two Sword Sect disciples were also treated similarly by Wu Ziming, the purpose being to silence them for now before killing them later.
“Your turn, Ye Changsheng. After I deal with these annoying guys, we’ll be alone, and I can torture you slowly!”
Wu Ziming stuck out his tongue like a viper’s, licking his sword.
“Heh heh heh, my sword is coated with potent poison.”
“Then you must have been poisoned too…”
“Hahaha! I already took the antidote, so it doesn’t matter no matter how much I lick it! You actually believed me? You believed me? You believed me? You believed me? Heh heh! You fooled me!”
Wu Ziming’s breathing became heavy, his eyes fixed on Ye Changsheng, filled with murderous intent.
“This time, no woman will save you, Ye Changsheng!!”
Wu Ziming cackled and swung his poisoned Magic Sword at the defenseless Ye Changsheng, letting the poison seep into his body.
Moreover, Wu Ziming still felt it wasn’t enough and he couldn’t let Ye Changsheng off so easily.
“For looking down on me, for humiliating me, for always being so arrogant! Ye Changsheng, you die today!”
Ye Changsheng collapsed to the ground, unable to make a sound.
Wu Ziming stared at the scene in disbelief, trembling with excitement. He had actually succeeded?
He, who had no hope of turning the tables, had actually eliminated Ye Changsheng!
“I succeeded, I succeeded, hahaha, hahaha!!”
*Clap clap clap clap clap.*
Applause sounded around Wu Ziming.
“Congratulations, Wu Ziming, it wasn’t easy, but you succeeded.”
Wu Ziming heard the mockingly playful voice and quickly turned around, only to see Ye Changsheng.
He was sitting on a large rock, applauding himself, a smile plastered on his face.
Wu Ziming was stunned, “Impossible! You clearly already…”
The Ye Changsheng who had been struck down earlier suddenly burst into a puff of green smoke and transformed into a shattered talisman.
Was this the legendary Shadow Splitting Talisman?
“Wu Ziming, your acting is mediocre,” Ye Changsheng teased, “I can only give your acting skill a 7.5, because it wasn’t natural enough, and sometimes too exaggerated, with room for improvement.”
“Ye Changsheng, you… you knew from the very beginning!!” Wu Ziming felt tricked and roared in fury.
“Because I didn’t trust anyone from the start. After all, as a… oh, I shouldn’t say too much. How can I be like you, explaining everything and showing off once I get the upper hand?”
Wu Ziming wanted to rush forward and cut Ye Changsheng in half.
However, Ye Changsheng raised a finger and flicked it casually.
Flower Picking Finger.
A grain of sand flew out, like a strike from a titan, creating a deafening explosion and hitting Wu Ziming, shattering all his bones and leaving him slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud.
“Ye Changsheng, you, you… don’t move me!” Wu Ziming shouted in terror.
But Ye Changsheng ignored him and approached, “Wu Ziming, now I’m going to cripple you.”
Wu Ziming was covered in sweat, “No way…”
“No way?”
Ye Changsheng sneered, raised his hand, and with a swift motion, unleashed Demonic Qi into his body, violently destroying his Meridian Cycle and shattering his incomplete Spiritual Sea, crippling his cultivation.
“Do you think it’s a ‘no way’, Wu Ziming?”
