Demon King's Repayment - chapter 269

They dragged women and children out of hiding places and killed them without hesitation in the street. They tortured all the men who resisted, hanging the corpses in front of the city gate. The bright red blood soaked the once quiet town into a hell on earth.

Su Bai, who had never killed anyone, at that moment, holding a blood-stained long knife, turned into Shura in the face of overwhelming enemies.

The edge of his knife was rolled up, and the handle of the knife was slipping with blood and it was hard to grasp, but he didn’t care. His home was destroyed, his relatives and friends were killed by gangsters, his wife and children were all dead, and they died at his feet.

So he also turned himself into a killing sword, ready to fight until the moment the sword broke.

At that moment, the turbulent flood broke through the dam and poured into the town. No matter how ferocious human beings were, in the face of the power of nature, they all became the same weak and helpless.

The flood swept away a lot of lives without emotion. Whether it was the enemy or the common people, the good people or the bad people, in its cold eyes, there was only one meaning.

When Bai Su woke up, he found himself lying on his back on his boat.

The sky was as blue as it used to be, and the water still shimmered with a golden light of joy. The tragedy that killed thousands of people seemed to have never happened in such a bright world.

If it weren’t for his body being so hurt that he couldn’t move, he would even think that the moment when he was blindfolded by blood was just a nightmare.

“Sorry, I found out a little late,” Dan Luo, who was sitting on the bow, said.

Su Bai said with grief and indignation, “Why, why only save me? You obviously have that ability, but you watched all the people die.”

“Why should I save them? That is your own business,” Dan Luo asked incomprehensibly. His tone was very flat, without sarcasm or excuse, just a simple question, so pure that it was impossible to blame.

 “Then why did you save me? Why didn’t you let me die too?” Su Bai raised an arm and blocked his eyes.

“You are crying? Why are you crying? Shouldn’t you be happy to be alive? Sometimes, I really have a hard time understanding humans.”

The demon who could take away thousands of lives without hesitation stood on the boat, looking down at him crying,

“Humans are really interesting, maybe I should try to perceive the world with a human body, maybe this will breed real human emotions and make me understand your world. Otherwise, even if I look more at you, it’s just watching from the other side, joys and sorrows are like illusions.”

After experiencing such tragic joys and sorrows in the world, Su Bai, who lost his family and had no worries, began to devote himself to cultivation, while Dan Luo, who transformed into a human figure, became fond of playing in the world.

Fortunately, they still regarded each other as friends, and the man-eating monster even forbeared for a lifetime in order to keep a promise to his friend.

The illusion in front of her disappeared, and the white-haired Su Bai stood in front of Yuan Xiang. After a lifetime of trials and tribulations, the old man who had seen all kinds of things in the world returned a gentle and loving smile to it.

“I know that after I die, Dan Luo will no longer abide by the agreement with me, and will definitely do evil in the world. As a human, I have to stop him.” The old Su Bai said, “But I think among the human Taoist in this world, maybe only you will have a little tolerance for him in the end. So I deliberately entered your dream and invited you to Lianghe Town.”

His figure disappeared, turning into a ray of white light, pulling the boat to the other side of the river.

The stars in the sky were low, and the river was as blue as a mirror. Where the water and the sky met, Yuanshui and Yushui were faintly revealed, where the sound of the fairy was ethereal, surrounded by smoke and clouds, and the sound of joy and play was heard from a distance.

 …

Outside the painting scroll, Dong’er stared at the painting for a while, and then hesitantly said, “Sister Ah Xiang is no longer in it. I feel like she went to a place where there is water everywhere.”

“Water everywhere?” Nan He frowned, that was where the most abundant water source was.

“I’ll go out and have a look, please stay here, we will come over soon,” Nan He explained to Zhang Xun.

Before Zhang Xun could react, he watched the unusually handsome man in front of him exerting strength, hitting the broken skylight on the roof, flying straight into the blue sky, and disappearing in an instant.

“This… this?” Zhang Xun stammered and asked his five-year-old niece.

 “This one has a tail and ears.” Dong’er gestured, “He is a very beautiful and cute one. He is the one sister held in her arms before.”

Before Zhang Xun had time to absorb everything, outside the courtyard, a man with long hair scattered and a mantle fluttered down.

“Where’s Ah Xiang? What happened?” The man turned his long and narrowed phoenix eyes and looked inside the house.

A young man with red rope and golden boots then appeared on the eaves, “Where’s Ah Xiang? She just came to Lianghe Town, where did you hide my Ah Xiang?” 

A number of people in fancy clothes appeared, both men and women, all of them were handsome/beautiful and powerful.

For a while, Zhang Xun felt that his mind froze. He couldn’t keep up with the rhythm.
