Chapter 107: Do You Not Regret It?

The world-renowned Mr. Student Zhuge died.

He died inside the Gate of Apocalypse, which people flocked to, in a dilapidated little bungalow.

Ye Lin looked at Student Zhuge Qianxing's corpse, his expression incredibly complex.

In his eyes, Student Zhuge Qianxing was undoubtedly a figure like a mountain one could look up to.

Calculating without missing a move, as if everything in the world was under Student Zhuge Qianxing's control.

If Student Zhuge Qianxing had wanted to kill him, the corpse lying on the ground now would have been his own.

And Student Zhuge Qianxing could have taken the repaired Eternal Balance, enjoyed the Undying Body, and at the very least, he could have accompanied his daughter until the moment the catastrophe descended.

But Student Zhuge Qianxing didn't. For the sake of Great Xia and the human race, or perhaps for the sake of Student Zhuge Ni, he resolutely chose to go to his death, just for that ethereal future.

Ye Lin actually didn't understand at all, his gaze filled with confusion.

He didn't understand why there were people in this world who could resist the temptation brought by an Undying Body?

Why were there people in this world who were willing to go to their deaths for the sake of the so-called common people?

Wasn't this the behavior of a fool? If you die, wouldn't you have nothing left?

Ye Lin couldn't think of an answer to this question, but Student Zhuge Qianxing had done exactly that right in front of his eyes, which couldn't help but move Ye Lin.

"Teacher, your disciple Ye Lin, sends you off."

Ye Lin knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Student Zhuge Qianxing.

Since Student Zhuge Qianxing became his teacher, he hadn't lectured him on any grand principles, yet he had taught him the most vivid lesson through his own words and deeds.

At this moment, Ye Lin recognized this teacher from the bottom of his heart.

The stars hung high, and the gentle moonlight shone on this dilapidated little bungalow in the slums. Everything appeared so peaceful.

However, this peace was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Only to see Tan Qingjiang and Wang Lichuan leading a group of people to approach here quickly. The commotion Student Zhuge Qianxing had just made was too great, naturally attracting them over.

Tan Qingjiang's expression was gloomy. When his gaze swept to Student Zhuge Qianxing, who was lying on the ground without a trace of life, his pupils shrank, and he questioned sharply.

"You killed Mr. Student Zhuge?!"

Ye Lin didn't pay attention to him, but took out a cloth, dipped it in water, and began to wipe the bloodstains off Student Zhuge Qianxing's body.

His teacher was a decent person while alive; for his final journey, he couldn't let him leave too disheveled.

"Speak! What happened here! Did you kill Mr. Student Zhuge! Did you obtain something?" Tan Qingjiang shouted sharply.

In his view, anything that could cause Student Zhuge Qianxing to fight so fiercely must be an extraordinary treasure.

Seeing that Ye Lin still didn't intend to pay attention to him, but continued to wipe the bloodstains off Student Zhuge Qianxing's body, Tan Qingjiang gave a wink to one of his subordinates on the side.

"Go, snatch Student Zhuge Qianxing's corpse over!"

Student Zhuge Qianxing was already dead, and the man before him was acting so cautiously; perhaps the treasure was still on Student Zhuge Qianxing's body!

Tan Qingjiang's subordinate attacked instantly, pulling out a blade and slashing toward Ye Lin.

The blade aura crisscrossed within this not-so-large room, making people look sideways. Just looking at the commotion of this strike, one knew the level of the person attacking was at least level 40!

"Hand it over!"

That person slashed directly at Ye Lin with one blade, while his other hand reached directly to grab Student Zhuge Qianxing's corpse.

However, Ye Lin didn't even turn his head, only blood-red flames ignited on his body, and then he whispered in a voice only he could hear.

"Teacher... for the sake of saving such human scum, will you really not regret it?"

"Tree Growth Technique."

Under Ultimate Sublimation, Tree Growth Technique instantly sublimated into the forbidden spell 'Wood Realm Descent'!

In an instant, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble, completely falling into a state of earth-shaking, as if some behemoth was about to wake up from underground.

A vine drilled out from underground, blocking that blade aura. The blade aura slashed out by that person was as fragile as paper before this seemingly slender vine, instantly dissipating without a trace.

Immediately following, countless green vines stretched out from underground, directly binding that person firmly in mid-air, making him unable to get even half a step closer to Student Zhuge Qianxing's corpse.

He wanted to struggle, but discovered that the more he struggled, the tighter the vines bound him.

"Those who disturb Mr. Student Zhuge's rest, kill without mercy."

Ye Lin stood up, then raised his hand and pressed it lightly on the head of the person holding the blade.

"No! Impossible! What did you do to me? Ah!!!"

That person's expression changed drastically, looking at Ye Lin in horror, letting out a shrill wail.

Immediately following, a scene that made everyone feel inconceivable appeared!

Only to see that person's body suddenly start to tremble uncontrollably, and regular gaps began to appear on his skin, as if countless invisible things were gnawing at his body, and his entire person began to be decomposed bit by bit.

Tan Qingjiang and the others widened their eyes, looking at this scene in horror. They had never seen such an eerie and terrifying scene.

That person's wailing gradually became weak, and finally disappeared completely, not even leaving behind any residue, as if he had never existed at all.

And at this moment, a series of prompts also rang out in Ye Lin's mind.

【Devoured level 42 job-changer *1, obtained water, fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and a small amount of trace elements;】

【Increased lifespan by 45 years, experience points by 420, strength attribute by 4, agility attribute by 2, mental attribute by 1.】

After the Eternal Balance, this Origin Ancient Artifact, was repaired by Student Zhuge Qianxing, it tilted completely toward the dark end. Although it lost the attribute of being invincible at high noon, it permanently retained the Undying Body.

Due to the balance tilting toward the dark end, the Eternal Balance's original equivalent exchange ability also turned into Endless Devouring!

Although he couldn't swap other people's levels or anything onto himself like before, it added an ability to plunder others!

For Ye Lin, this was already enough.

"What exactly did you do?" Tan Qingjiang was both shocked and angry.

That subordinate of his had actually disappeared into thin air just like that. It looked as if he had been swallowed in one bite by some invisible monster.

Wang Lichuan's expression was also filled with suspicion at this moment. Back when trading at the Job-Changer Guild, he had even felt that Ye Lin was quite easy to talk to; he hadn't expected him to be so terrifying when he made a move!

Facing Tan Qingjiang's questioning, Ye Lin didn't say much, but silently took out the Red Flame Staff.

Ye Lin didn't have the magnanimity of his teacher Student Zhuge Qianxing, who cared for the world. He only knew that 'when will the cycle of vengeance end' and 'it is better to resolve grievances than to keep them.'

He had killed Tan Qingjiang's subordinate, so Tan Qingjiang would definitely hold a grudge against him. So, it was better to simply kill Tan Qingjiang and his group entirely, then swallow them clean with Endless Devouring, leaving no traces.

In this way, the grievance would be resolved. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
