Chapter 216 Something Unexpected
Xie Zhenjie was shocked and filled with disbelief.
Why did a sword pierce his body? And this pain feels very real.
He suddenly realized something.
"I-impossible!"
He slowly looked back. It was the figure of a man.
He was even more shocked and disbelieving when he saw the man's face.
"Zhou Yuan... Why?!"
Stab!
The sword slowly moved, adding to the pain.
"Brother Xie, didn't you expect this?" Zhou Yuan said with a grin.
"Zhou Yuan.... You! Why did you.... Betrayed me!" Xie Zhenjie said in disbelief
"What do you mean? Weren't you the one who said that in order to survive, you have to do everything?" Zhou Yuan grinned.
"But you... Why? Aren't we brothers? You said it yourself!" Xie Zhenjie asked for an explanation.
"I just realized that the most appropriate thing for me to do is to side with Liu Meng'er." Zhou Yuan said with a grin.
"What?"
Xie Zhenjie was shocked when he heard this.
"No, that's not what you wanted! You must be after something from her, you..."
Slash!
The sword moved upwards, instantly slicing his head in two.
Blood splattered on the ground, Xie Zhenjie died in an instant.
Zhou Yuan smirked when he saw this. His eyes were blood red and sharp. It was the heavenly demon's eyes.
In the next instant, his pupils spun and he raised his finger lightly.
A red shadow appeared from Xie Zhenjie's body. That shadow was similar to Xie Zhenjie.
The shadow entered Zhou Yuan's body and Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand to savor the taste of Xie Zhenjie's soul.
"The soul of a talented person, very delicious." Zhou Yuan grinned.
Then, he looked at Liu Meng'er.
"Zhou Yuan, i-is it you?" Liu Meng'er asked in alert and fear.
"No need to be afraid, it's me." Zhou Yuan smiled and his pupils returned to normal.
Liu Meng'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to help Liu Meng'er up.
Liu Meng'er held Zhou Yuan's hand and stood up.
"Now, we have to save my parents." Liu Meng'er said earnestly.
"Okay, wait here, I know Xie Zhenjie's plan." Zhou Yuan said.
After that, Zhou Yuan left here and disappeared amidst the dense fog.
Liu Meng'er sat on the ground, she still felt the pain in her body.
She hoped that Zhou Yuan would come with her parents.
A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps was heard.
"Meng'er!"
A woman's voice is heard.
Hearing this, Liu Meng'er was surprised. This is the voice of her mother!
She immediately stood up.
A woman came from the dense fog and hugged Liu Meng'er.
"Mom. It's really you! I miss you so much!" Liu Meng'er said happily.
"I miss you too, Meng'er." The woman burst into tears and hugged Liu Meng'er tightly.
At the same time, a middle-aged man also walked up to them.
"Meng'er." The man smiled and hugged them both.
"Dad, it's you." Liu Meng'er was even happier and hugged her father.
The three of them hugged.
Liu Meng'er cried happily. She was very happy to meet her parents.
................
Whoosh!
The thick fog suddenly disappeared.
Liu Meng'er who noticed this immediately looked around.
She was slightly surprised to find that the area around her was extremely quiet.
Zhou Yuan walked over to the three of them.
"Ah, you are the one who saved us. I didn't have time to thank you. And now that we meet, I thank you profusely." The woman said sincerely.
"I also thank you." Liu Meng'er's father also lowered his head and said sincerely.
Liu Meng'er also smiled. From the bottom of her heart, she was also extremely grateful to Zhou Yuan.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan smirked instead.
"What I do is not free." He said with a grin.
"Oh, just say so. We will try to comply with your request." The woman said.
"Your lives." Zhou Yuan grinned.
After that, he suddenly held a sword and slashed swiftly.
Both of the father and mother's expressions were blank and the next second, they fell with their heads detached from their bodies!
Liu Meng'er froze in place when she saw this scene. Everything happened so fast.
"Dad, mom..."
She couldn't believe this. She looked at the two of them and realized that this was real.
Stab!
She didn't even have time to look at Zhou Yuan as a sword pierced her heart.
"Poor girl." Zhou Yuan shook his head.
Liu Meng'er shed tears, but Zhou Yuan moved his sword and slashed through Liu Meng'er's heart.
She died instantly and fell to the ground.
Zhou Yuan grinned when he saw This.
"System, do it." He said with a grin.
Simultaneously, Zhou Yuan felt that something was coming out of his body.
"Aaaaaargh!" He screamed loudly.
From his screams, he looked to be in a lot of pain.
And a few seconds later, a red shadow shot out of his body. It was Xie Zhenjie's soul.
It hovered above him and had an enormous size.
[Soul transfer begins]
Liu Meng'er's body suddenly glowed with a golden color and the light soared high into the sky.
Even the clouds drifted away from the light, making the empty sky blue.
A few seconds later, the golden light was reflected by something above the sky and returned to earth.
The golden light hit Xie Zhenjie's soul, causing the red color to turn into a golden color.
At the same time, that golden light disappeared as if it entered Xie Zhenjie's soul.
[Absorption begins]
Xie Zhenjie's golden soul entered Zhou Yuan's body, causing his body to tremble.
"Aaaaaargh!" Zhou Yuan shouted loudly, trying to absorb the soul.
The soul shook as if refusing to enter Zhou Yuan's body.
Zhou Yuan suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Only, the runes all over this place suddenly glowed. There were about 46 runes if you counted.
..............
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes. What he saw first was not the area of the great magic sect, but boundless darkness.
There was nothing here, only the boundless great darkness.
But, a light suddenly came.
That golden light was extremely bright and almost illumined this boundless darkness.
But, gigantic eyes suddenly appeared. It was red and dark, just like the eyes of a heavenly demon.
Instantly, the light was sucked in by those eyes and disappeared without a trace.
After that, those eyes disappeared.
............
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
[You successfully absorbed Xie Zhenjie's soul using the power of Nirvana]
[Now you have a photographic memory]
[Your cultivation and understanding talent have greatly increased]
[Your dantian has become stronger and your blood circulation has also become smoother]
[You got the power of gravity manipulation]
[You killed Liu Meng'er, Lin Fan's lover. Reduces Lin Fan's lucky points by -500 and you get 5000 villain points]
[For some reason, you got the power of Nirvana]
Zhou Yuan was immediately greeted with a barrage of holograms.
He fell silent as he read each of the holograms.
Those were all what he got after killing Liu Meng'er and Xie Zhenjie.
And it seemed that he didn't need to extract those good things because right now he already felt different things from his body.
He immediately looked at his hands and the air seemed to distort.
He grinned when he saw this.
"The power of gravity, huh? I didn't know Xie Zhenjie had this talent."
Build a good relationship with Xie Zhenjie? It was all part of the plan.
The procedure for absorbing Xie Zhenjie's soul and obtaining his strength was indeed very complicated.
Ever since he first met Xie Zhenjie, he had planned this.
He didn't regard Xie Zhenjie as a friend or brother at all, but rather as an object he could use.
According to the future plot, Xie Zhenjie is extremely talented and possesses a mysterious power. He should be very strong if not killed by Lin Fan.
And his guess was right, Xie Zhenjie has a lot of good things.
Of course the process is not easy. He needed to make Xie Zhenjie believe him, which was why he pretended to be brothers with Xie Zhenjie.
That's because it greatly affects the quality of the soul. He wanted to maximize what he got, so he needed to do this.
Likewise with Liu Meng'er. Technically, that special physique couldn't leave her body. All this time he had just lied.
Also, he needed to make Liu Meng'er have high hopes and then destroy them.
Just like he did before, which he gave Liu Meng'er hope by freeing her parents.
Then he destroyed it by killing them both.
It made her soul agitated.
He also needs the help of the system to do all this.
How did he know this way? Surely from the system.
............
Zhou Yuan walked out of the area of the great magic sect. He had caused them a lot of trouble.
He also killed the Elders of the Xie family and Liu Yinrang.
But at this time, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
He felt a powerful aura coming at super speed.
Bang!
Something landed on the ground, causing the ground to crack. It was Lin Fan.
