Chapter 616: My Professional Panel Is Somehow in an Anime Style? Chapter 291

"Ahhhhh!"

Screams rang out one after another without pause.

The grey-haired youth frowned tightly at the scene before him.

But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and struck the villagers unconscious, preventing greater casualties.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxiao turned her lifeless gaze toward this companion: "Why did you help them? Don't they deserve to die?"

"."

Faced with the girl's questioning, the youth did not know how to answer, and could only respond with silence.

And Li Ang silently watched this scene.

If the kid wants revenge, let her have it—he certainly wouldn't say anything about how endless vengeance never finds an end.

But then again, this Pathless Extremes Demon Lord was never some great sage who repaid grievances with virtue; according to the original work's trajectory, he would have let Bai Xiaoxiao slaughter every last villager clean.

Seeing the youth stay silent, Bai Xiaoxiao did not say anything more, merely continuing to activate 【Borrowed Origin True Eye】.

As streaks of blood-red light scrambled out from that crimson pupil one after another, the youth instinctively raised the talisman in his hand.

But before he could make any response, a streak of blood-red light had already burrowed into his body.

Seeing this, Li Ang could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

'Clumsy acting.'

Although part of the reason this Demon Lord fell for it was because he was struggling internally, it was more because he did not know what reason to use to stop Bai Xiaoxiao's revenge.

And without obstruction, the villagers present were utterly unable to resist the control of 【Borrowed Origin True Eye】.

Soon, the utterly ruined village transformed into a hell on earth.

Blood soaked the ground, and the villagers' corpses could be seen everywhere.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the hellish painting she herself had wrought before her, and a bitter smile crept across her face: "It's over."

As she spoke, the blood-red light withdrew from the grey-haired youth's body.

He looked at the somewhat crazed girl not far away, his expression extremely complicated for a moment.

However, before he could say anything, a series of childish voices suddenly rang out from the shadows of the village.

"Dad! Mom!"

The children looked at the elders lying on the ground with no sound, and instantly revealed utterly savage expressions.

The very next moment, they picked up the firewood knives scattered across the ground and charged toward the instigator.

Just as the other party had avenged their parents, they too would avenge their own father and mother.

Seeing this, the grey-haired youth instinctively wanted to stop the children.

But just then, an extremely weary voice rang in his ear.

"End it here."

It was Bai Xiaoxiao.

With the ability of 【Borrowed Origin True Eye】, these children could not possibly hurt her.

Yet the girl did not want hatred to continue spreading.

Let everything... end here.

Puchi—!

As the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, the grey-haired youth's eyes nearly split with rage.

He could do nothing.

In the end, the youth could only watch helplessly as the girl collapsed to the ground, with only her very last breath remaining.

After a brief silence, he activated a talisman to transform into a giant ingot, then picked up Bai Xiaoxiao and sat on it, flying off into the distance together with his senior brother.

The matter of Black Mountain Village was over; they had no need to continue lingering.

And the token that had been floating beside him now seemed as though its charge was running low, and lightly dropped into his palm.

Seeing this, Li Ang could not help but feel relieved in his heart.

That Everlasting Myriad Laws Immortal Lord finally had no way to keep peeping over here, otherwise he would probably have had to keep waiting a while longer.

As for now—

He could make some small moves.

As this thought flashed through Li Ang's mind, a black slit imperceptible to the eye suddenly opened at the edge of the ingot.

But just as Li Ang wanted to extend Bai Xiaoxiao's life a little, dense thunder materialized out of thin air, blasting every piece of clothing on his body to shreds.

"."

Watching the wound rapidly repair under 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】, Li Ang was so exasperated he laughed.

Fine, fine, fine—so that's how you want to play it!

He—

Alright, he really had no way to deal with it.

Although he was somewhat helpless about the law of cause and effect watching so closely, Li Ang also knew that Bai Xiaoxiao's death was probably a foregone conclusion—anyone who tried to interfere with this outcome would have to pay the price.

Hadn't he seen it himself? Before he had truly put anything into action, the law of cause and effect had already caught the scent and come running.

Thinking of this, Li Ang could not help but sigh.

Forget it, if she's going to die, then let her die.

With his current abilities, as long as the time of death wasn't too long, he had ways to pull someone back up to work; the question was whether 【Borrowed Origin True Eye】 could be preserved.

'But thinking about it this way, the Myriad Karma Corpse Immortal's resurrection ability is rather shameless...'

Unlike him, that Lord of the Nirvana Ones could pull someone back up to work for himself across several hundred years.

And just as Li Ang's thoughts were wandering, the grey-haired youth had already piloted the ingot to a mountaintop—this was precisely the treasure-hiding spot he had arranged with the sect's patriarch.

He glanced at the girl beside him, her expression dazed, already on the brink of death, then dashed forward to a massive boulder and began digging furiously downward.

Soon, several talismans representing the pinnacle of the Divine Ability world appeared before him.

Yet.

There was no pill capable of extending the Great Dharma Seeker's life.

"."

Seeing this, the boy felt a faint unease rising in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and kept digging downward, but never found what he sought.

At this moment, the gray-haired boy truly understood why this had happened.

Just as when the three-eyed one had asked Bai Xiaoxiao whether she wished for revenge, her answer had been yes.

Now, faced with the question of whether she wished to continue living, her answer was no.

Under these circumstances, even the pinnacle of the Divine Ability world, the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Methods, could not defy the law of cause and effect to leave behind a pill that saved lives.

'I can change nothing.'

As this thought arose in his mind, a sense of helplessness welled up in the boy's heart.

Just then, Bai Xiaoxiao's extremely weak voice suddenly sounded.

"Thank you. The world beyond the mountains is truly wonderful."

Kneeling on the ground, her head drooping helplessly, she murmured: "Forgive me…"

"Take care. This humble woman takes her leave."

With those words, the girl's final breath of life scattered with the wind.

Seeing this, the gray-haired boy froze in place.

After a long while passed, he and his senior built a simple mound for the girl, then turned and walked down the mountain.

He would prove it.

Staying in the mountains was wrong.

Several hours later, a black fissure stealthily opened beside the grave mound, and a pale hand cautiously reached out from within.

Only after confirming no punishment from the law of cause and effect would come, did Li Ang carefully emerge from the 【Huang Quan Bi Liang Ban】.

He stared at the motionless grave mound and muttered like a thief: "【Summoning Spirits and Commanding Generals】! Let me see your limits!"

Indeed, Bai Xiaoxiao's death did not invoke punishment from the law of cause and effect, since her subsequent fate was never witnessed.

In this world, if something is not witnessed, it is equivalent to having never occurred.

If so,

Then it is perfectly reasonable for him to imitate the Immortal of Ten Thousand Corpses and drag her back to work, isn't it?

Just as Li Ang thought this, the faint, nearly imperceptible spiritual essence within the girl was forcibly gathered together by 【Summoning Spirits and Commanding Generals】.

'Success.'

Feeling the extremely weak soul within the grave mound, Li Ang exhaled in relief.

Without hesitation, he immediately dug up the mound and exchanged it with the puppet he had prepared in advance for Bai Xiaoxiao.

The Great Immortal of Lawless Extremes will likely come to pay respects later—better to be cautious.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes, slightly bewildered.

She stared at the young man before her, who was rummaging through an unnamed grave, and felt deeply confused.

Is this the afterlife? But why is someone robbing a grave?

Yet soon, the girl noticed the corpse beneath her feet—identical to her own.

"."

It seemed he was robbing her grave.

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could ask, a flood of information surged into her mind.

As she gradually understood the meaning of these details, her expression grew increasingly complex.

"Awake?"

Just then, a voice pulled the girl back to reality.

Li Ang turned to face his newly appointed worker and nodded approvingly.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao first nodded, then asked hesitantly: "Yes… I wonder what is so special about this humble woman that you went to such lengths?"

"That's a long story."

In response, Li Ang shrugged.

But as he was about to offer a casual explanation, an abrupt, strange fluctuation suddenly caught his attention.

Li Ang turned toward the source of the fluctuation and saw a massive drop of crimson blood slowly squeezing out of the void.

It trembled faintly in the air, as if alive, radiating an indescribable pressure and unrestrained malice toward the living.

As the thick stench of blood spread rapidly, even space itself became Stained with a layer of gloomy crimson.

Yet the moment he saw this drop of blood, Li Ang recognized its origin—his face twisted in utter shock: "Ten Thousand Works True Blood?!"

How could this appear here?! Is it targeting Bai Xiaoxiao?!

No, in the original story, Bai Xiaoxiao should never have become a Dharma Corpse.

And with this girl's strength, could she possibly attract such a quantity of Ten Thousand Works True Blood?!

Wait—

Could it be targeting me?!

Realizing this, Li Ang felt a strange absurdity rise within him.

Before he could react, the drop of blood shot toward him with lightning speed.
