Chapter 102 No, what kind of weird title is this?
Chen You brushed off non-existent dust from his robes and looked at the rows of cold tombstones.
"What...are you...laughing at...?"
Meng Xiao's voice, intermittent and filled with the roars of countless dead souls, was filled with anger and confusion at being looked down upon.
Its logic is incomprehensible.
Why is it that this insignificant human being, when faced with the embodiment of death, not only feels no fear, but is actually... somewhat happy?
"It's nothing," Chen You said, cracking his knuckles. "I just feel like it's a waste of time to keep going like this with you."
"You...are...insulting...me..."
"Meng Xiao" roared, raising the huge, venomous scythe high once more.
Endless resentment gathered at the blade, and the surrounding air seemed to be sucked dry, becoming viscous and cold.
However, faced with this devastating blow, Chen You merely tilted his head.
"Insult you? No, I just want you... to rest in peace more completely."
The moment he finished speaking, he moved.
Yu Huang let out a clear and melodious dragon roar, and a dazzling golden sword light was unsheathed!
The first move of the Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique: Startling Swan!
The target of this sword strike was not "Meng Xiao" himself.
It was that enormous, malevolent scythe!
"Buzz—!"
The sword light and the scythe collided with a thunderous crash in mid-air.
"Click...click click..."
Countless cracks spread across the sickle, which then shattered inch by inch.
boom!
The enormous, malevolent scythe exploded in mid-air into a cloud of pure black mist, scattering in all directions.
Meng Xiao's body trembled violently, and the black aura visibly dimmed, while his roar also carried a hint of weakness.
Really!
Chen You was certain.
His guess was correct; the system's assessment of "invincibility" was limited to Meng Xiao's physical body.
However, the next second, the dissipated black mist turned into streams of black water that flowed back into Meng Xiao's body from all directions.
At the same time, the tombstones on the ground throughout the cemetery began to tremble slightly.
Wisps of black energy rose from the ground and continuously flowed into her body.
Just two seconds.
The dark aura that had faded from Meng Xiao's body became dense again.
In her hand, a venomous scythe, larger and more solid than before, was reforming at an even faster pace.
"it's useless……"
"Here... I... am... immortal... and indestructible..."
Chen You watched this scene without any change in expression.
He didn't expect it to end like this.
This was just a verification.
He put away the jade disc, abandoned all defensive stances, and stood quietly in place.
Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding why this human had suddenly given up resisting.
But without much thought, its pent-up anger transformed into its most lethal attack.
"die--!"
The enormous, venomous scythe, carrying the power to judge all living beings, slashed down fiercely towards Chen You's head!
-1!
-1!
The familiar pain from gua sha (scraping therapy) is back.
Chen You didn't even look at it; he simply raised his hand slowly.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Stacks upon stacks, ten sheets per stack, of yellow talismans radiating a faint golden light appeared out of thin air in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of exorcism talismans floated in front of Chen You.
"you……"
Meng Xiao's movements stopped.
It could sense that the yellow talismans emanating from them contained enough energy to completely evaporate it ten thousand times over.
A fear stemming from instinct first appeared in its consciousness.
"What...are you... going to...do...?"
"What are you doing?"
Chen You smiled.
"It's very simple."
"Since your power comes from this cemetery..."
He stretched out his hand and waved it gently.
"Then I'll just destroy your 'spring,' and the problem will be solved, won't it?"
The moment the words fell, hundreds of exorcism talismans transformed into a vast golden torrent that surged into the sky!
They didn't fly towards "Meng Xiao," but instead, like a grand golden meteor shower, they spread in all directions, covering every inch of the tranquil cemetery!
boom--!!!!
No process!
The moment the first exorcism talisman landed, the entire world fell silent!
All players, whether they were members of Luna's Radiance fighting fiercely at the North Gate or casual players excitedly vying for kills.
They all stopped what they were doing and stared in horror toward the north.
In that direction, a golden light suddenly rose from the horizon!
The light was so intense and so domineering that it instantly overwhelmed the setting sun on the horizon, dyeing half the sky a pure gold.
"Holy crap! What's going on?!"
"What's that? A generalization? Where did that come from?"
……
At the eye of the storm, a tranquil cemetery.
Endless golden holy fire ignited from every inch of the land, burning away all filth, resentment, and evil.
One by one, the cold tombstones were transformed in the golden light, and the black aura that clung to them instantly dissipated, restoring the original color of the stone.
Deep underground, the vengeful spirits that had been lurking for who knows how long, before they could even utter a roar, found eternal peace under this domineering and unparalleled purifying power.
The resentment in the entire cemetery was swept away in just three seconds!
"ah--!!!"
Having lost its source of power, "Meng Xiao" let out a final, piercing scream.
The black aura emanating from it dissipated rapidly like the receding tide, and the "avatar of resentment" formed by countless vengeful spirits crumbled in the golden light.
Finally, the light faded.
As the black aura dissipated, "Meng Xiao" returned to being the simply dressed, thin girl.
Her eyes were closed, and she fell straight backward.
Chen You stepped forward and gently caught her before she hit the ground.
At that very moment, the invisible barrier that bound the entire cemetery shattered with a "crack".
The long-awaited system notification sound finally rang in Chen You's ears.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the hidden quest: The Disturbed Rest!]
[Task Evaluation: ??? (The system's judgment logic is seriously conflicting, making it impossible to provide a valid rating)]
[Because you purified the entire "Tranquil Cemetery" with the force of "burning mountains and boiling seas," you thoroughly cleared the soil from which evil spirits bred, changed the energy structure of the area, and triggered special clues...]
You have received a special reward: Hero's Gaze (Unique)
You have earned a special title: Demon's Bane
Chen You: "..."
"Ghost's Bane?" What kind of weird title is that? It's so unlucky!
Before he could even examine the reward closely, the little girl Meng Xiao in his arms stirred and slowly woke up, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
She opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
The cemetery is still the same cemetery, but it seems... much cleaner, and even the air is fresher.
Then, her gaze fell on Chen You's face, who was supporting her, and her memories began to return.
She remembered her father's insignia, her mother's tombstone, and how she was haunted by evil spirits...
The little girl's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"you……"
She was about to say something when Chen You couldn't wait any longer.
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"
