"It’s me, Palace Master."
Wen Zhixing nodded, yet his face was devoid of any smile.
At that time, he had been Si Nanyan’s savior. But no good deed goes unpunished, for he was then subjected to essence absorption. It persisted for seven days and nights, draining even him, with his Pure Yang Body, to death. That memory had never faded from his mind. How could he forget that feeling worse than death? He had merely wanted to save someone, yet he had endured such an ordeal.
"How on earth did you find me?" Si Nanyan was reluctant to accept this. She really wanted to know the answer.
"How did I find you?" Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing nodded and said, "Well, you might as well die with a clear understanding."
The next moment, his large hand plunged fiercely into his own heart. He extracted his beating heart and laid it in front of Si Nanyan.
The heart was still pulsing, yet no ripple showed on Wen Zhixing’s face. It was as if the heart he had just removed wasn’t his own. Check latest chapters at noᴠelfire.net
"You..." Si Nanyan was completely stunned. For a moment, she even thought Wen Zhixing had taken out her own heart.
What shocked her most was that the wound on Wen Zhixing’s chest was healing at an incredibly fast rate. She even saw a new heart forming just before the bloody hole closed up.
"Palace Master, do you still remember this venomous worm?" Wen Zhixing spoke up to remind her.
Only then did Si Nanyan notice the transparent venomous worm attached to the heart.
"This is the Heart-eating Venomous Worm..." Si Nanyan’s eyes widened as something dawned on her. She felt a throbbing in her own chest. Could it be...
"Yes, without this venomous worm, I really couldn’t have located you, Palace Master..." Wen Zhixing started to explain.
"You..." Si Nanyan’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. Not knowing would have been one thing. But to think that in the end, I was betrayed by the venomous worm I myself had cultivated!
"Wen Zhixing... no, Master... spare me..." Si Nanyan still wanted to plead for mercy.
However, Wen Zhixing simply crushed the heart. Simultaneously, the venomous worm was crushed alive as well.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Si Nanyan felt an intense pain in her heart.
[Your Twin Venomous Worm has died.]
[Si Nanyan’s Twin Venomous Worm has also died.]
[Twin Venomous Worms share the same source; they share each other’s damage and glory.]
With the death of the Twin Venomous Worm, Si Nanyan’s heart was also shattered. The Heart-eating Venomous Worm had always been fused with the heart. With the worm’s death, the heart naturally suffered the consequences. This method was originally intended to restrain Wen Zhixing, but Si Nanyan had never expected to suffer its effects herself.
"Ah..." Si Nanyan clutched her chest, her face contorted in excruciating pain.
"Farewell, Palace Master," Wen Zhixing said.
The next moment, his finger once again touched her forehead.
"No..." Despite the pain, Si Nanyan tried to make a last struggle.
The fearsome Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder surged into Si Nanyan’s Sea of Sense. Endless light shone brilliantly. With Si Nanyan’s divine soul already weak and frail, how could she possibly resist the overwhelming Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder?
"Don’t do this!" Si Nanyan’s divine soul pleaded. But all that responded to her was the all-encompassing Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.
Everything was engulfed by the lightning. Si Nanyan’s body started to weaken, her breath growing faint.
"Don’t... want... this..." Si Nanyan weakly grasped Wen Zhixing’s sleeve.
Wen Zhixing slightly lowered his head but then forcibly shook her off.
Wen Zhixing withdrew his finger. The light had faded from Si Nanyan’s eyes, leaving them empty.
