Chapter 407: Do You Think It's a Coincidence?

"I want to know, was my father truly completely possessed by someone?"

Although his heart was filled with fear, Bai Jincong still asked the question he had wanted to know most all along; before dying, he wanted to know the answer.

If he didn't take advantage of the fact that the other party was in a good mood to ask now, perhaps he would have no chance later. Such a person was someone who killed without blinking.

"He was possessed by someone!" Nodding, facing Bai Jincong's question, Liu Rusheng answered quite readily.

"As early as when your father entered that cave, I had already made arrangements for him!"

"I quietly opened a gap in the seal I had personally set up back then, allowing the idiot inside to break free. That idiot inside even thought it was Heaven's will that allowed him to escape—would you say he's stupid or not!"

"Why didn't he think about it? How could it be such a coincidence that someone could open the seal, and how could it be such a coincidence that he could successfully possess your father without a single hitch?"

Speaking of this, even Liu Rusheng couldn't help but laugh. He didn't even know how such a stupid person had climbed step by step to his current realm.

One could only say that some people truly have good luck; if it weren't for good luck, with a brain like that, he would have been hacked to death long ago while drifting through the Jianghu.

"Sometimes I also wonder, what if he had discovered some clues? But in fact, from beginning to end, he didn't notice a thing; he had no idea at all that someone was plotting against him."

"Back then, this idiot even thought he had perished together with us. He didn't even stop to think: just based on him, is he worthy of perishing together with me? Is he worthy!"

"If it weren't for that idiot fighting so desperately back then, even going so far as to self-destruct to take me with him, why would I have had to pay the price of dragging myself into it just to seal him inside?"

"It delayed my plans for so long for nothing, truly damnable!"

"And that Shen Yu fellow, he is slightly stronger and acts with caution, but his strength is also limited!"

Thinking of the young man he had just finished off, Liu Rusheng couldn't help but feel smug. Taking his body into his possession was a harvest even greater than the Blood Yin Fruit.

A Heavenly Pride that countless old monsters went crazy for had fallen into his hands so easily; it seemed he was the one truly favored by Heaven and Earth.

It was destined that he would walk to the peak, destined that he would become the strongest.

"Jincong, actually, when you arrived outside the cave, I already knew."

"I have to say, this young man named Shen Yu is indeed very strong—frighteningly strong, strong to the point where even I had no certainty."

Licking his lips, the aura on Shen Yu's body made even him feel a tremor of fear; it truly transcended the limits of the world.

Such a Heavenly Pride was something previous generations had never possessed. It also meant that after he devoured him, the harvest would be far greater than all the previous generations combined.

"What a pity, truly a pity. Although this young man is strong, he is just a bit naive. Does he think the memories he saw in the cave are real?"

"When one is in the Jianghu, one shouldn't even lack the simple common sense of guarding against others. Even people who died hundreds of years ago are capable of lying."

"Perhaps he won't even know until he dies that the so-called inheritance and the so-called residual memories left there were merely methods I deliberately left behind to deceive people."

At this moment, Liu Rusheng was even getting carried away, as if he viewed everyone in the world as nothing.

In his view, everyone was being played in the palm of his hand, and everything was going so smoothly—so smoothly that even he had to admire himself.

"Originally, these were just small tricks I left behind, but I didn't expect to hook such a big fish."

"He thought your father's body had been possessed and thought that as long as he eliminated your father, everything would be over. Little did he know, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

"When he eliminated your father and thought everything was settled, that was precisely when his defenses were at their weakest. Striking suddenly at this moment guarantees success."

"Look, in the end, these people fought and killed each other, but didn't it all benefit me!"

Speaking to this point, the smile on Liu Rusheng's face could no longer be contained; he just wanted to use crazy laughter to vent the uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

"A contemporary Heavenly Pride—no, I should say a peerless Heavenly Pride that only appears once every several generations—has just become my prize."

"Haha, I have already obtained the most mature Blood Yin Fruit, and afterwards, I will devour everything of this so-called Heavenly Pride and then step on his bones to climb higher."

"I will walk to the very peak and look down upon the entire World! Although there are many experts in the world, there will be no more opponents for me; I will be the master of the world!"

At this moment, the expression on Liu Rusheng's face appeared exceptionally ferocious, as if he already held the entire world in his grasp.

Such confidence even gave Bai Jincong an illusion, feeling that the other party could truly do as he said with ease, and even an illusion of simply surrendering to him.

Afterwards, Bai Jincong wanted to slap himself; a great man walking in the world, how could he be so servile? However, the other party was truly frighteningly strong. Doing so didn't seem shameful.

And just at this moment, Liu Rusheng suddenly felt something strange and subconsciously prepared to turn tail and run.

But it was a bit too late. Before he could break through space to escape, a power so strong that he couldn't struggle against it at all descended, completely imprisoning him, as if ten thousand worlds were crushing down upon him.

"Who is it?" Looking around in terror and unease, at this moment he didn't even know who had made the move.

He had indeed been a bit carried away just now, but had he been even slightly more alert, he wouldn't have waited until the other party was already attacking to notice something was wrong.

If he had noticed it the first moment, he would have been running by now. Such terrifying power left him nearly unable to move; this level of power was definitely not something he could rival.

But if he had noticed it earlier, even if he couldn't win, he was quite confident in his ability to run.

And just at this moment, a terrifying Sword Qi arrived suddenly. He wanted to react, wanted to dodge, but found his hands and feet wouldn't listen to him at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the Sword Qi struck his body, instantly wounding him severely.

But it wasn't over yet; the terrifying Sword Qi condensed once more, as if tearing through space, and slashed directly onto his body.

He could clearly feel that not only was his body disintegrating under the Sword Qi, but even his Mental Power was disintegrating as well.

If the body was shattered, so be it; he could just find another body, but if even his Mental Power was exhausted, then he would have no choice but to kneel.

"Who is it? Who exactly is it?" The series of Sword Qi strikes left him completely stunned, and what was even more terrifying was that he was already severely wounded without even knowing who his opponent was.

Everything happened too fast, so fast that one couldn't react in time.

"Still holding on, this body is pretty good!" Walking out slowly from the corner, Shen Yu hadn't expected that two sword strikes still hadn't finished the other party off.

However, Shen Yu vaguely felt that there was some power surging within the other party's body, seemingly constantly repairing his injuries.

"It must be the power of the Blood Yin Fruit!" In an instant, he understood. The Blood Yin Fruit that Bai Tu had gone to such lengths to obtain had likely been mostly swallowed by this shameless old man.

"How could it be you? How are you still alive? Shouldn't you be dead already?" When he saw Shen Yu standing complete and whole before him, Liu Rusheng was truly stunned.

He had already solemnly put the other party's body away and was just preparing to enjoy it slowly; who would have thought the other party wasn't dead at all.

This joke has gone too far; we can't play like this.
