Chapter 966: Slaughtering to the Top Floor
The woman was in red like blood, with some strange patterns adorning her robe.
The moment she saw Su Ming, her eyes went blank for a moment.
"Xuan-lang?" Her expression was dull, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Is it you..."
"Xuan-lang!"
She trotted over, her delicate figure exuding a hundred charms.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes and recognized her.
"You are... the daughter of the Demon Monarch Zi Tuo, Liu Die'er?" Su Ming asked with a frown.
Hearing Su Ming's voice, she finally reacted.
It turned out the young man in front of her was not her Xuan-lang.
The two merely had similar eyes.
"It is me," she said, looking up.
"Apologies." Liu Die'er slowly stopped and gave a bitter smile.
"Your eyes are too similar to Xuan-lang's."
Su Ming and Li Xuan had one greatest commonality.
That was that both of them had realized the Heart Sword realm at a very young age!
This resulted in both of their eyes being extremely clear and thorough; they were the eyes of sword cultivators with hearts like still water, enough to fascinate thousands of young girls.
Golden light shone brilliantly in Su Ming's eyes as he scanned the surroundings.
"Your father has already shattered the Demon-Suppressing Tower; why haven't you left?" he asked.
Liu Die'er shook her head, her eyes sorrowful.
"I drove my husband mad, caused the death of my daughter, and caused the death of thousands of sword cultivators of the Shushan Sword Sect."
"Now my father has shattered the Demon-Suppressing Tower and returned to the human world; he will stir up a bloody storm, and countless poor people will die without a whole corpse."
"All of this started because of me; how could I have the face to leave this place?"
Her eyes were full of self-reproach, as if she were driven to distraction by sins weighing over a thousand pounds.
Although she had inherited the Demon Ancestor essence blood of Zi Tuo and was naturally powerful, she did not crave power and had given up cultivation.
Therefore, she could not resist the refining of the Demon-Suppressing Tower at all; now that a hundred years had passed, she was about to die.
Her demonic power had all dissipated, and she was almost turning into a mortal.
"I know what you came here for."
With that, she looked at Su Ming with determined eyes, opened her arms, and said.
"Come, kill me."
Su Ming raised his hand and gripped, and flying swords filling the sky surrounded her.
Among them were blood swords, blades of killing intent, and swords cast from a thousand souls.
There were over a thousand of them, truly overwhelming.
Su Ming's gaze was as clear as fire; he did not act immediately but asked.
"Liu Die'er, how did your daughter die?"
"Didn't you and Li Xuan successfully escape into the tower with her back then?"
Hearing this, Liu Die'er felt even more sorrow rise from her heart.
"My daughter... has already been slaughtered by my father."
Zi Tuo loathed and despised the human race; naturally, it was impossible for him to tolerate his daughter and the mixed-blood child of the human race surviving in the world.
Hearing this, Su Ming suddenly fixed his gaze on the corpse of a child in the corner.
It had been refined by the tower's magic power until it was damaged, its white bones about to shatter.
Su Ming also felt a sense of shock in his heart.
In fact, he had once thought that Liu Die'er's daughter might have witnessed her father being heavily injured and her mother almost being killed, potentially accumulating deep resentment and eventually becoming the BOSS of this world.
Now it seemed there was no miracle; she had failed to become stronger.
After all, she was too young and had no time to grow, leaving her only the path of being crushed to death by the Demon Monarch.
Su Ming noticed that Liu Die'er did not say Li Xuan was dead.
Instead, she said he had "gone mad"!
To have survived being pierced by the Sword Saint's hundred swords back then!?
What a terrifying constitution.
"Where is Li Xuan?"
Su Ming was curious.
After so many years, if that sword Dao genius could survive, his power must have already surpassed Senior Xiang Wuhui!
Perhaps he could help deal with the Demon Monarch Zi Tuo!
He had fallen into demonic ways back then and slaughtered his Shushan Sword Sect peers because his wife and daughter were hurt, causing him to lose his mind.
Based on his observations, Su Ming believed he might still have a shred of conscience left.
"He... is on the very top floor," Liu Die'er said with wistful eyes.
Hearing this, Su Ming's eyes sharpened.
The very top floor?!
That was the place where the suppression and refining were the most brutal! ===== CHAPTER 968 =====
