Chapter Fifty-One: Black Smoke, Chains, Fear

  When Shangguan Qiyue performed the Tianluo Web Technique on him, Tang felt his own Jieshen suddenly go wild, this wildness was a kind of violent stirring, a bloodthirstiness, a gluttony, a hunger, this feeling seemed to come from his Jieshen, but also seemed to come from himself, he could no longer distinguish, his body emitting black smoke, this smoke was not a form of energy, but a pure darkness.

  Across from him, Shangguan Qiusuo couldn't believe her eyes, feeling incredulous and terrified, her heart racing with fear. Yes! She was afraid, even she herself didn't know why, it's just that Tang Jing made her feel fearful.

  "Get out! If you don't leave, you'll die!"

  Tang Qing, shrouded in black smoke, let out a stern cry. The black smoke around him was mysterious and eerie, gathering together like a demon god from the ancient wilderness, terrifying and ferocious. It was as if it was an evil god being judged, its appearance unclear, only faintly visible with nine chains wrapped around its body, even the sound of the chains colliding could be heard.

  Shangguan Qixue was shocked, she gasped heavily, her beautiful face pale with not a hint of blood color. Tang Jing's voice came over, she wanted to move, but didn't dare to, yes! She wasn't unwilling to move, but really didn't dare to, her heart was completely dominated by fear, as if once she moved, the black smoke would make her disappear into thin air.

  Heaven!

  What is this!

  Shangguan Qixue's slender body couldn't help but tremble, her heart panicked, and her expression terrified.

  In the midst of the black smoke, Tang Qing raised his head. His originally handsome face had become evil and stern at this moment. The space between his eyebrows was filled with an overbearing aura that seemed to dominate the world. A strange smile played on the corners of his mouth. His eyes, which were originally calm and tranquil, now shone with a madness like a stormy sea, as if it could dye the sky and devour the heavens.

  "Tang Jing...... you......"

  Shangguan Qixue's beautiful eyes widened, her cherry lips also opened, and the shock in her heart overflowed into words.

  "I didn't tell you to leave..."

  Tang Qing's voice was calm and peaceful, like a verdict from ancient times, making Shangguan Qiyue's hair stand on end, leaving her mind blank with only the sound of this judgment.

  "Are you afraid?" Tang Jing walked slowly, without making a sound, only the clanking of chains, his eyes gleaming with madness like lightning and thunder, like the sky and earth cracking apart. He raised his hand and grasped Ouyang Xue's throat.

  Shangguan Qixue had never felt such fear as he did at this moment, this fear not only occupied his heart but also his soul.

  Tang Qing's eyes swept across with a strong gaze, and suddenly, Shangguan Qiusi's clothes shattered and scattered, revealing her slender naked body!

  "You......not......" The helpless cry of Shangguan Qiyue, her loud and hoarse shout seemed so weak, so powerless under the shroud of black smoke.

  "Hahaha..."

  Tang Qing's mouth corner was filled with a strong and evil smile, his fingers slid over Shang Guan Xue's pale face, jumped to her white neck, along the tempting valley between the twin peaks down, fell on her lower abdomen.

  "Hmm... what a wonderful figure, it's really a pity." Tang Jing's index finger lightly touched the navel of Shangguan Qixue and smiled wantonly, "I'm only interested in the primordial species inside your body..."

  Shangguan Qixue's delicate body trembled, and she felt as if the primordial spirit she had cultivated with great difficulty in her dantian was being ruthlessly squeezed by an invisible hand!

  "Tang, Tang Jing!" Director Gao Qixue spat out a mouthful of blood, her pale face filled with despair. Her beautiful eyes stared at Tang Jing, still full of shock and terror, but now also mixed with confusion, incomprehension, and resentment...

  Shangguan Qixue's blood dripped onto Tang Qing's fingertips, his eyes becoming even more frenzied as he touched Shangguan Qixue's eyes, seemingly sensing her despair. This hint of despair seemed to stir up memories deep within Tang Qing's heart.

  He suddenly closed his eyes, his expression solemn, and abruptly withdrew his hand. He took several steps back, his hands clasped over his temples, his head bowed, and let out a primordial roar!

  Hope... Despair!

  Time and time again, I cultivate, time and time again, I overcome tribulations, time and time again, I have hope, time and time again, I am in despair!

  Endless hope, endless despair!

  You are trapped in an endless cycle of hope and despair, why do you still want others to despair!

  Why!

  I don't know why you've become like this, is it the repression in your heart? Is this really you? Have you been repressing yourself all along? Since you've already chosen to go with the flow, why are you still going against the current!

  Why!

  Is it just for releasing the inner repression?

  Tang Jing was screaming in his heart, as if he was shouting at himself, and also like he was shouting at his own destiny.

  As time passed bit by bit, the black mist that had condensed around him gradually dissipated and disappeared. After an unknown amount of time, Tang Qing finally opened his eyes, his expression no longer eerie and stern, his pupils no longer crazed, all the overbearing aura completely gone.

  He regained that handsome face, his complexion slightly pale, and when he opened his eyes, his calm eyes returned to stillness. He stood up, but found that Shangguan Qiusuo was already lying naked on the ground, with blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.

  "Alas!"

  Tang Jing shook his head, let out a sigh, and sighed out the many helplessness. He was very rational and clear about what had happened earlier, but after the return of the Jie Ling, his mood would become extremely self-centered. This self-centered mood made him only want to follow his heart's desires, only want to do as he pleased, and only want to vent the repression in his heart.

  To be honest, this feeling made Tang Jing feel refreshing, but he didn't like it.

  He picked up Shangguan Qishuang and put her on the bed, carefully examining her injuries. After that, Tang Qing shook his head and sighed in regret. The original energy within Shangguan Qishuang's dantian had suffered a severe blow, an injury that would likely take decades to recover from. Looking at the unconscious Shangguan Qishuang, Tang Qing's eyes were filled with self-reproach and guilt, a feeling he detested the most.

  Because his Jie Ling no longer had a hint of immortal aura, he was also helpless in the face of Shangguan Qiyue's injuries.

  If she were to forcefully treat her, Tang Jing's own demonic aura would definitely infect Yuexing, an extremely evil and strange aura that even Tang Jing himself couldn't control. It was unimaginable what kind of harm this aura could bring to her for the rest of her life. After some thought, Tang Jing snuck into Yuexing's house, searched every nook and cranny, found a bottle of spiritual elixir that could temporarily cure her condition, and immediately gave it to Yuexing to take.

  I had originally planned to slip away tonight and find a lively place to enjoy life, but I never thought something like this would happen.

  Tang Qing has been on the run with Tian Jie for his entire life. Due to his identity as a scattered immortal, he is being pursued by Golden Immortals and hunted by Heavenly Demons, so he has always lived an extremely lonely life. Because of this loneliness, he values relationships very much and cherishes them deeply.

  He didn't have any feelings for Shangguan Qi Xue, but these days Shangguan Qi Xue had helped him a lot, although she was helping him to help Shangguan Ling, that's not important, what's important is that she indeed helped him, so for Tang Jing, this was a kind of favor.
