Chapter 242: Killing Must Be Repaid, Unchanging Since Ancient Times

 Chapter 242: Killing Must Be Repaid, Unchanging Since Ancient Times

Although Qin Ruan had never seen corpse transformation or puppetry, her abilities were more than enough to counter these tricks.

"Mu Qing, I advise you not to waste your efforts. You are not my match," Qin Ruan spoke out to dissuade her opponent, but her actions were not slow in the slightest.

Her slender jade finger lifted up, and in her hand, a dark blue flame spread out, eerie and dark.

It was the hell dark flame, the bane of all evil spirits and demons in the world.

Mu Qing had gone insane. She held the mentality of dying together with Qin Ruan, so how could she possibly stop now?

Her soul body was like a strange beast, terrifying and horrifying, with no human form visible at all.

The thick black mist that spread around her body enveloped her, with a murderous aura surging to the sky.

As she charged forward, Qin Ruan was the first to feel the chilling atmosphere of the ghost and the devilish aura.

The hell dark flame quickly wrapped around Mu Qing before the crisis arrived, like lightning.

"Ah, ah, ah..." A miserable scream almost lifted the roof. It was imaginable how much pain Meng Qing was enduring at the moment.

Even with flames all over her body, she did not give up on attacking Qin Ruan. Her figure paused for only a moment before charging at Qin Ruan again.

Compared to before, her speed was much slower.

Qin Ruan sternly said, "Mu Qing, if you continue, I will make you vanish into ashes!"

"I want to kill you! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Mu Qing's hatred soared as she recklessly charged forward.

Qin Ruan did not hold back anymore. The golden whip appeared in her hand, and she used a thunderbolt strike against Mu Qing.

"Crack!"

"Ah, ah, ah..." The whip lashed against Mu Qing's ferocious soul body, and the pain she endured doubled.

The dual power of the hell dark flame and the power of the underworld made her unable to move forward and unable to take care of herself.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, pondering whether to make her disappear into ashes or summon the underworld messenger to send her to the underworld.

Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong. 

She had been dealing with Mu Qing for a while, but Su Zijia didn't stop her. 

Qin Ruan was a little confused and turned around to look at him. 

Su Zijia sat slumped on the ground, with his eyes fixed on Mu Qing, looking dazed and unresponsive. It was unclear what he was thinking. 

Qin Ruan sighed softly, having made up her mind. 

The gold whip formed by the power of the Underworld God dissipated. 

She cast her gaze on Mu Qing, who was still suffering from pain and torture. 

The power of the Underworld God reached out and the dense hostility that enveloped her consciously flowed into Qin Ruan's body. 

From the beginning, it gradually formed into a pillar. 

After a while, the hostility on Mu Qing's body was completely absorbed. Mu Qing's original appearance was restored, and even her injuries were not as terrible as before. 

But it was only superficial, her injuries were still in her soul. 

Qin Ruan stopped, and with a slight opening of her red lips, she summoned the Yinchao of the Underworld. 

"The Ten Yama Kings teach me to kill ghosts, with my divine method, drive and kill, what god does not bow down, what ghost dares to resist, the Ten Yama Kings urgently execute the order, exterminate the evil!" 

A strong and dazzling golden light emerged from her body, instantly enveloping Qin Ruan and Mu Qing. 

The people standing outside the golden light circle felt their eyes stinging and involuntarily closed them. When they opened their eyes again, they were surrounded by darkness, unable to see their hands in front of their faces. 

Strange sounds echoed in the darkness, like something being dragged on the ground, making clanging noises. 

The air suddenly froze, and the atmosphere became eerie and cold. The chilling aura in the room made people's skin crawl. 

"No! Let go of me!" 

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" 

Mu Qing's shrill voice echoed in the darkness. 

"You evil ghost, surrender now! Follow me to hell!"

A deep and eerie voice with a thick and resonant tone could be heard. 

The voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears, clear and authoritative. 

Even the two celestial masters, Lu Wenbin and Qiao Nanyuan, couldn't help but tremble in their legs. 

"I don't want to! Ahhhhh..." 

"Brother, save me, save me!! Waaaah..." 

Mu Qing's struggling voice gradually became helpless and hoarse. 

In the darkness, there was the sound of iron chains slamming onto the ground. 

"Qingqing!!!" 

Suzijia, who had fallen in the darkness, finally regained his senses upon hearing his sister's miserable cries. 

He stood up and groped forward in the dark. 

The darkness around him receded, and the living room was restored to brightness. 

In the center of the room, only Qin Ruan was left. 

She stood with her back straight, and the light fell on her, outlining a perfect profile. 

The faint light and shadow added a touch of gentleness to her cold face. 

"Where's Qingqing?" 

Su zijia stumbled over to Qin Ruan, his eyes red and his expression anxious. 

Qin Ruan spoke indifferently, "She went where she belonged." 

"Why did you do this?" Suzijia's soul trembled, and his eyes gradually lost their luster. 

"When you kill, you must be prepared to face the consequences, as it has been throughout the ages." 

This time around, Qin Ruan wouldn't easily take someone's life, even if she hated that person. 

Killing someone requires taking on the karmic consequences. 

Killing for a momentary pleasure is the worst option, as it only brings pain to loved ones and pleasure to enemies. 

Learning that his sister had been sent to the underworld, Su zijia was consumed by hatred. 

He angrily asked, "If killing requires taking a life, what about those who killed her?!" 

Qin Ruan's gaze was cold and thin, "Your sister also killed her enemies!" 

"But they're not all dead!" 

"Karma will come back around, and they will pay for what they have done." 

Qin Ruan frowned and showed pity to Suzijia, "Your sister has already entered the underworld, and now it's your turn."

"Me?" Su Zijia looked dazed.

"You are a ghost, and you shouldn't linger here," said Qin Ruan.

Su Zijia sneered, "I have never harmed anyone. Why do I have to go to the underworld? If I go to the underworld and reincarnate, will I still be me?"

"Life and death are in a constant cycle. It's inevitable," said Qin Ruan.

Su Zijia refused Qin Ruan's proposal with silence.

Qin Ruan did not understand his persistence but felt pity for him.

"A hundred years ago, you had merits, and even after death, they were still protecting you. But in recent years, you have never stopped your sister from killing, and even let Mu Qing escape after killing someone by borrowing your clean energy. You watched her slaughter the innocent and did nothing. You are an accomplice! Your karma has already balanced out your merits. Go to the underworld and be reincarnated. That is your ultimate destination. In the next life, enjoy yourself and be free from being trapped. Don't you want that kind of life?" said Qin Ruan.

"Hahaha..." Su Zijia laughed out loud.

As he laughed, his expression turned mournful, and tears of blood flowed down his cheeks.

"Have you ever experienced encountering a light that can save you when you are at your most desperate moment?" Su Zijia asked.

Qin Ruan squinted slightly, showing no emotion.

"I met Qingqing at my lowest point in life. She was like a beam of light that illuminated my life. My world was dark, but she was warm and clean, illuminating the impurity in my heart during my low point," said Su Zijia.

"I know she is selfish, but I enjoyed being her sacrificial victim. She is a girl who lives under the sunshine, so pure and beautiful. I want her to stay clean and warm forever..." he continued.

Qin Ruan interrupted him coldly, "Perhaps when you first met her, she was a good girl. But now, you cannot imagine the darkness inside her."
