Chapter 282: You love to laugh, don't you! Why aren't you laughing!
In the latter half of the day, the Shen Family was again a scene of bloody carnage; many people came to Shen Qing's room door, kowtowing, hoping he would come out and plead for mercy.
Shen Qing ignored them, and with a surge of vital energy he blew the people away.
Meanwhile, Shen Qing sat in the room studying the Heaven-Stealing Pill, feeling a special, violent and chaotic power on these few pills.
Even the karmic force was trembling.
No matter what Shen Qing did, he couldn't draw out these powers.
This research took up most of the day, yet Shen Qing still had no clue.
The subtlety of this power was no less than that of the karmic force; Shen Qing's inability to draw it out wasn't due to lack of comprehension, but seemed to be missing something.
Shen Qing wasn't the least bit anxious; he finally concluded that he simply hadn't killed enough evil beings—once he killed enough, he would understand.
Not long after Shen Qing reached that conclusion, Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao returned from the Holy Luo Empire.
Shen Qing looked at the two and said, "You're back already?"
You should know that the Holy Luo Empire and Great Wu are not just a few provinces or commanderies apart; they are separated by dozens of large and small states.
And yet they managed to make the round trip in a single day.
Zhu Wu waved his hand: "That's considered slow; I and Old Shen were delayed by something over there, otherwise we should have been back this morning."
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow: "What did you two do in the Holy Luo Empire?"
Shen Wendao said: "It's because of those evil‑spawn nests, and aren't you wanting to kill evil beings?"
"Coincidentally, the White Bear Martial Saint said that a strange thing had hatched in those evil‑spawn nests."
"Old Wu and I went to have a look, and what a rare find—we've fought evil beings for a thousand years and never seen anything like this."
Shen Qing's eyes lit up.
Only saw Shen Wendao wave his hand and snatch an evil being straight from the clouds.
This evil being stood a full three meters tall, humanoid, with jet‑black skin covered in terrifying patterns; faintly one could see a magma‑like glimmer flickering, its back bristling with black bone spikes like thorns, and its dark pupils brimmed with an aura of destruction.
He felt on this evil being the same wonderful power that was on the Heaven-Stealing Pill, only differing in strength.
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows; just moments ago he said the timing was wrong, and now it suddenly was right.
Under Shen Wendao's power, the evil being swiftly descended before Shen Qing.
Shen Qing glanced at Shen Wendao and said, "Old Ancestor, what is this evil being's name?"
Shen Wendao shook his head: "He calls himself Hui Mie Zhe."
Shen Qing looked at the evil being; its jet‑black eyes stared fixedly at him, full of curiosity and without a trace of fear.
Shen Qing chuckled: "You don't seem the least bit afraid, do you?"
Shen Wendao lightly tapped with a finger, releasing the bonds on the evil being's mouth; it laughed and revealed its sharp, blood‑red teeth.
"Why should I fear? I can leave anytime; I came here just to meet you."
"Hello, Shen Qing; you can call me Hui Mie Zhe."
Shen Qing pointed at his own face.
"To see me?"
The Hui Mie Zhe nodded: "Exactly, to see you. My intuition tells me that in your future you will be the strongest person in this world."
"And I am destined to be the strongest in my own world's future."
"My birth heralds the impending doom of a world; Shen Qing, stop me with all your strength, hahaha..."
Shen Qing looked at the evil being with a look of utter disbelief: "With such big talk, do evil beings not brush their teeth? Come on, you're a prisoner now."
The Hui Mie Zhe smiled confidently: "You can't keep me! Shen Qing, having seen you, my purpose is fulfilled; now I'm leaving."
Having said that, a violent aura burst from within the Hui Mie Zhe, rapidly destroying his body.
Shen Wendao's eyes turned cold: "You too?"
Having said that, a vast surge of vital energy erupted instantly; in an instant the earth shook violently, the clouds pressed down continuously, lightning swept the sky, and even black holes appeared—because the world could not withstand Shen Wendao's power, it was collapsing as if the apocalypse had arrived.
The Hui Mie Zhe's face also showed a flash of surprise: "What terrifying power!"
"No wonder the evil gods are no match for you."
But he remained unfazed.
"But it's useless; you can stop me for a moment, but can you keep stopping me? As long as you haven't grasped the supreme power, you cannot stop me."
Shen Wendao's face fell, for the Hui Mie Zhe's body was still disintegrating.
Just then Shen Qing said: "Old Ancestor, why not let me give it a try?"
Shen Wendao didn't ask further; trusting Shen Qing, he directly used vital energy to open an opening.
But the Hui Mie Zhe's laughter grew more wanton: "Hahaha! Shen Qing? You! Those two can't hold me either! Can you do it?"
"I said I need supreme power! Hahaha..."
Only saw Shen Qing flick his left hand, and the karmic force poured out; for the past half month Shen Qing had not used karmic force, and having taken command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Shadow Guard, all the karmic force seized from killings across Great Wu now flowed to him, his reserves already full.
Shen Qing then gave the Hui Mie Zhe all of his half‑month's stored karmic force in one go.
The Hui Mie Zhe's laughter cut off abruptly.
Of course, according to the law of conservation of smiles, when one person stops smiling, their smile transfers to another's face; since the Hui Mie Zhe stopped smiling, Shen Qing should smile.
Shen Qing walked toward the Hui Mie Zhe, smiling, and slapped its face with a sharp pa‑pa sound.
"Laugh! Why aren't you laughing? You love to laugh, don't you! Keep laughing, hahaha!"
The Hui Mie Zhe's voice trembled: "How could you have supreme power? This is impossible..."
Shen Qing chuckled: "Dead people don't need to know much; you only need to know that villains often die from talking too much and being overconfident."
"Watch out next life!"
"Old Ancestor, destroy his flesh!"
If the Hui Mie Zhe had used this method to escape from the start, he would have been unharmed; but he insisted he could get away and deliberately came to see Shen Qing, so we can't blame Shen Qing for being ruthless.
Shen Wendao felt a brief shock, then his mouth corners involuntarily rose: 'Good!'
The Destroyer roared: 'No!!!'
In the next moment, Shen Wendao's power surged, directly crushing the Destroyer's fleshly body. A black mist filled with destructive aura quickly appeared in the air, shooting toward the void, but before it could go far, it was pulled back by a force—the power of karma.
Shen Qing raised his left hand, karma threads coiling around his body: 'Next, it's my turn!'
That mass of black mist condensed into a ferocious face, looking toward Shen Qing: 'Shen Qing! Shen Qing! Let's discuss!'
Shen Qing flicked his finger, quickly tugging at that mass of black mist: 'You're begging me? I won't let you off either!'
One could see the black mist sometimes pulled into an S shape, sometimes into a B shape.
Each time they tugged at that violent black mist, it dissipated a bit, until a miserable scream.
'No!!!'
That mass of black mist was completely worn away by the power of karma.
