Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Turmoil Subsides

Sigh...

The evening breeze swept through the streets of Lin'an City, turning the smoke and dust into threads and trails, blowing them away relentlessly.

Strands of white hair at the temples were gently lifted.

"Mother..."

Chen Zhixing was slightly taken aback.

He could feel the woman holding him in her arms was trembling slightly.

Plop.

Plop.

Tears dropped onto his head, like icy beads.

"Mother, I....."

"Hush, don't speak, don't look at me, my appearance will frighten you."

Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Zhixing noticed the pale hair hanging down and felt the cold temperature from the embrace.

"Snow Maiden, huh..."

Chen Zhixing suddenly understood.

In the worldview of "Great Cultivation".

The Snow Maiden is the queen of the Frozen Plateau!

In the eyes of mortals, they are mysterious and powerful, symbolizing disaster and omen.

However, they are cursed, doomed never to leave the Frozen Plateau.

In the past life setting of "Great Cultivation," there were only a few mentions of Ying Shuangshuang.

As if her character was only to serve as an antagonist NPC, the tool for Chen Zhixing's mother.

There was no mention of Ying Shuangshuang's identity as a Snow Maiden.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, in the scene of the Chen Family's destruction, he did not see Ying Shuangshuang.

"Is it my appearance that caused a deviation in the world's plot? Or was Ying Shuangshuang always a Snow Maiden, but in the game, there was no opportunity for her identity to be revealed?"

Thoughts flickered in Chen Zhixing's eyes.

That the plot deviated is certain.

Otherwise, according to the game's plot setting, the original Chen Zhixing would not have survived tonight.

As for why Ying Shuangshuang's identity in this life is the Snow Maiden...

Does it matter?

"Mother, I'm not afraid..."

Chen Zhixing lifted his hand and gently embraced Ying Shuangshuang's waist.

His mother's body was cold, yet he felt unprecedented warmth.

At this moment.

He truly gained a motive to move forward in this world.

Not just for himself, but also for Chen Tianliang and Ying Shuangshuang!

He will never allow the scene of the Chen Family's destruction and the tragic deaths of Chen Tianliang and Ying Shuangshuang to appear before him!

...

...

Meanwhile.

Outside Lin'an City.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As if three colossal beasts were colliding, a series of earth-shattering explosions rang out!

Sword lights, halberd glimmers, all sorts of techniques erupted, painting the entire night sky in splendor.

"Slash!"

Chen Tianliang swung his halberd with ease, cleaving a path of unmatched halberd light, slicing a mountain peak diagonally!

The caped figure and Master Kuimu panted heavily, glancing at Chen Tianliang, who seemed like a descending Demon God, their eyes full of wariness.

This guy's combat power is excessively strong.

Suddenly.

Chen Tianliang seemed to sense something, abruptly turning back to look toward the city.

"Zhi'er!"

A shrill scream echoed.

"Wife?!"

Chen Tianliang's expression changed, immediately dropping the caped figure and Master Kuimu to leave.

"Oh? Looks like things are going well over there?"

Master Kuimu's face displayed a satisfied smile, speaking, "To be safe, hold him for another ten breaths!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, Master Kuimu and the caped figure flashed, instantly blocking Chen Tianliang's path.

Chen Tianliang's expression turned icy cold.

He first silently extended his Divine Thought, sensing that his connection with Ying Shuangshuang wasn't severed, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since his wife had already used that last card, everything would naturally be fine.

"Who are you two, really?"

Chen Tianliang spoke without expression.

Even if he were foolish, he had realized.

Today's events were by no means a supposed act of executing justice, but a premeditated ambush!

"Later, you will naturally know."

Master Kuimu smiled faintly, everything within grasp.

After speaking.

Master Kuimu and the man in the black robe with a bamboo hat exchanged a glance and were about to leave.

"Chen Tianliang, get ready to collect the corpse of your little beast."

Master Kuimu turned around, completely relaxed.

Based on his understanding of Chen Tianliang, Chen Tianliang would definitely be eager to return to the city to check the situation, and certainly wouldn't bother with him any longer.

And he could take the chance to escape perfectly, like a cicada shedding its shell.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Suddenly, a low voice exploded in their ears.

Only to see Chen Tianliang, holding his halberd, had somehow appeared before them.

"You..." Master Kuimu's expression changed, but before he could finish speaking.

"Infinite Blood Realm, open!"

Chen Tianliang slowly uttered a sentence.

BOOM!!!

In an instant, with Chen Tianliang at the center, the scene within a hundred meters radius, including Master Kuimu and the man in the black robe, changed drastically.

The wailing of evil ghosts echoed!

A blood-red moon rose into the sky!

Bolts of black lightning danced and shattered in the air!

The ground beneath the three of them transformed into a tumultuous sea of blood!

Chen Tianliang stood on the surface of the churning sea of blood, his hair growing wildly.

The surrounding hundred meters resembled the Avici Eternal Hell!!

His millions of pores began oozing blood.

That was his reversed illness, erupting!

"The Infinite Blood Realm, it's the power of realm, a world of its own!!"

The man in the black robe gasped in horror.

Once such a barrier forms, to break it, one must either have much greater cultivation strength than Chen Tianliang and break it by force!

Or they must kill Chen Tianliang!

Chen Tianliang... was determined to fight them to death!

"Are you insane?!" Master Kuimu's face changed drastically.

He knew Chen Tianliang's physical condition very well; opening the Infinite Blood Realm would surely trigger the reversed illness!

Was he seeking his own death?

"Didn't you want to kill me? Come, kill me!!!"

Chen Tianliang wielded the black gold dragon-embossed halberd, standing valiantly on the sea of blood, his black hair dancing, his eyes shining with eerie, piercing red light.

Columns of blood, like tornadoes, rose from the sea of blood, pouring into Chen Tianliang's body.

Boom Boom Boom!!

Chen Tianliang's aura visibly strengthened at a rapid pace!

A trace of a demonic flush appeared on his face.

"All of you, die!!!"

Chen Tianliang uttered a low, sinister laugh from his throat.

BANG——!!

With a single step, the sea of blood below exploded with a massive wave.

And he instantly appeared in front of the man in the black robe.

"No..." The man in the black robe hurriedly raised his knife in a panic, trying to block.

Bang!

The blade shattered, and the halberd slashed down, directly splitting the long knife in the man's hand in two!

The bamboo hat broke open, revealing the face of an old man with crane-white hair and a childlike face.

"Third Master Chen! It's not my business. If you want to find someone, find him..." The old man with the crane-white hair was in horror; Chen Tianliang's strength had at least multiplied several times!

For the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

"Don't worry, he'll join you soon."

Chen Tianliang's eyes shimmered with a crimson light, and with a simple horizontal slash.

Splash!

A head with wide-open eyes flew high, then fell into the sea of blood.

"Your turn!"

Chen Tianliang's gaze shifted towards Master Kuimu.

BANG!!

The sea of blood exploded!

With just a single step, Chen Tianliang appeared before Master Kuimu.

Splash—!

With the sound of flesh being pierced, the black gold dragon-embossed halberd ran through Master Kuimu's chest.

"Let me see who you really are."

Chen Tianliang held the black gold dragon-embossed halberd, slowly pulling it closer, and lifted the hood obscuring Master Kuimu's face.
